It may not be the literature you're used to, but he guarantees, if you give it a go, you'll fall in love with the characters like he has.Any questions or enquiries, you may contact me here; [e-mail]

Michael: In the sixth breathtaking instalment, our heroes encounter the delightful cameo appearances of The Rostical Users!

Lezard: All Lezard hears these days are skree and skrah, it frightens these old bones, ooo!

Michael: Yes, the Darkwings! Our heroes fight and defend the city! And then they chase the final villain through The Shisen Dungeon.

Lezard: A dungeon? What does it look like?

Michael: Well, it's in the sky and-

Lezard: A dungeon in the sky? And when Lezard couldn't think your writing could get any worse-

Ginger: Ey, Lezard? I concur with this statement-

Michael: Wow, seriously? Maybe if I ever decide to write anything after this series, I won't create such shit characters.

Ginger: Yoh?

Lezard: Ooooo, the tension! The saltyness.

Ginger: Where is this salt?

Michael: Anyway, the fight an unexpected Guardian and they fall prey to their schemes. What will the guild do?

Lezard: This throbs Lezard's delicious heart!

Michael: Yeah, that's gross. Please stop scaring the readers so quickly?

Lezard: The readers love Lezard! There are fanfics and cosplays and and-

Michael: Thank you so much for reading and continuing on with this adventure. Please enjoy-

Karol: The Remenistal Guild!

Rachael: The Rostical Guild!

Lezard: The Succulently Scrumptious Remenistal Guild!

Michael and Lezard: And remember, chapter zero is skippable! Now, queue intro theme song!

Chapter 0: Previously

Previously on, The Rostical Guild-

Lance: He even told me that he was a Consultant before it all went down.. *He shook his head in disgust.* Then why?

Lezard: *He stopped chewing.* Why what exactly, Lance-a-motto?

Lance: Why are ya actin' so effin' happy?!

Lezard: ...

Lance: Your parents are dead-

Alicia: "Lance! That's enough." *She shouted with a frown.*

Lance: *He paused in shock.* Well, I-.. It's true-

Alicia: What are you trying to get at! Use your words properly!

Lance: I was depressed for years when my dad died, aye-

Lezard: So, you'd prefer if Lezard was depressed and pathetic like you were?! *He shouted with widening eyes, causing Alicia and Lance to gasp in shock.*

Lance: I-

Lezard: "How dare you dictate what I should or shouldn't be feeling! Loonzamotto definitely isn't like you!"

Lance: I didn't mean-

Lezard: I think we're done here-

Lance: I didn't mean it to sound like this dammit! *He hit the table, causing the glyph it floated on to flicker.* It just pisses me off that you can be so cheery when their murderer is still walkin' free!

Lezard: ... *He paused as if he was listening.*

Lance: "If they died from anythin' else, it's not my place to dictate anythin'! But your parents were murdered just like my dad! And I didn't feel any sense of closure until I saw those criminals in prison!"

Alicia: Lance? *She looked confused as if she still wasn't sure what Lance was trying to get at.*

Lance: Alicia would probably disagree with me, but if they were your parents, then.. *He frowned.* Get revenge!

Lezard: Revenge?

Alicia: Get revenge?

Lance: "I admit, there are times where revenge does nothin' but makes you feel shittier or a sense of injustice, but in those very rare times, I think there are times where revenge is-"

Alicia: Immature and childish! *She frowned.* You aren't like this, Lance!

Lance: If I had the power I did back then.. I would've killed them in a heartbeat. *He grunted and tensed his fingers, causing yellow lightning to flash around them.*

Alicia: "Revenge is stupid and pointless. It doesn't make you feel any better!-"

Lance: Like I said, in rare times like this.. I'd feel better knowing the person that killed my loved ones die.

Lezard: (Revenge? I.. I thought about it, but Lezard can't do anything with one offensive technique.)

Alicia: You didn't get revenge on Ashton! Wasn't he your best friend?!

Lance: It's complicated, Alicia!

Alicia: "Then explain it so it's uncomplicated to understand-"

Lance: This guy is rotten to the core. He not only killed Millard and Kath-

Alicia: But he didn't! Not personally-

Lance: Babe.. *He spoke with a low deep tone in his voice.* He's goin' to die regardless. I just thought it would be good for Lizard to get some form of closure, aye.

Alicia: Revenge still isn't the way to go-

Lance: "Then forget I said anythin' 'bout revenge! The Consultant is gonna die! *He focused back to Lezard.* You don't need to do anythin', Lizard! Just wanted to invite you to the party."

Alicia: *She looked down and sighed.* I agree that he needs to be stopped. Running on revenge is immature and it'll do nothing as an end result.

Lance: "Oh, but there will be. They'd stop bein' people gettin' killed!"

Alicia: No!

Lezard: I see where you both are coming from. Revenge darkens the soul-

Alicia: Yeah!

Lezard: But there are rare cases where revenge will close the deep, untreatable wounds.

Lance: Yea!

Lezard: Father and mother monster meant everything to me.

Alicia: *She looked at Lance with an annoyed expression on her face.* We didn't get to know Kath that much. What was she like?

Lezard: As you said, she was just as caring as father monster. She was the one that gifted me with her Radiatons. *He chuckled in disgust while shaking his head.* Doing so caused her to fall victim to the yellow-eyed disease.

Alicia: Tssk. *She looked annoyed.* The warriors and this disease.. We should focus on stopping this disease once we defeat the Consultant!

Lance: Yea! For sure, aye.

Lezard: That is what my guild is doing.

Lance: Ain't yas like chasin' after a demon or somethin'?

Lezard: It's the origins of the disease apparently. Once we defeat it, they'll be no more corruption to spread.

Alicia: Wow!

Lance: That's effin' awesome!

Alicia: *She glanced at Lance with a frown.* Maybe we should leave Lezard to do what he wants-

Lezard: The guild means everything to me. They are my family now, and I even trust them.

Alicia: (Does he have trust issues? He said it the way I used to.)

Lezard: But, if you sausages are going after the Consultant.. Can I ask when?

Lance: We have a deadline.

Alicia: It's close.

Lezard: When?

Lance: If you decide to get rev-

Alicia: Ahem!

Lance: "Closure, then you'd have to join the party tomorrow."

Lezard: *He mumbled with widening eyes.* "Tomorrow? Twenty-four hours?!"

Alicia: We can tell you along the way, but there's a small time-window we need to strike.

Lezard: (Maybe we won't find demon-Ashton until afterwards..? Lezard isn't sure.)

Lance: Anyway, I just wanted to bring it to your attention, aye.

--

Celest: During your Diareamer state, thou are at your greatest.

Arcadia: And? Thy already know this fact.

Celest: But, thou are also at your greatest vulnerability. *She suddenly appeared next to Arcadia and scratched her across the cheek.*

Arcadia: *She quickly raised her hand in shock.* Thou used Neurons to harden your nails, but why?

Celest: *She stared at a cut-like scratch on Arcadia's cheek, watching a thin streak of blood slowly run out of it.* Thou are gifted with these abilities at severe costs.

Arcadia: *She looked sad and glanced to the side, staring at the wheelchair.* ...

Celest: But, almost everything has exploits, equilibrium, or compromises.

Arcadia: The power to possess both Diareamer and Astraseeker abilities is-

Celest: *She shook her head.* Besides feeling fatigued, is it not strange to thou regarding wounds?

Arcadia: *She lowered her arm as the cut started to self-regenerate.* The Radiatons that flow through this Astral vessel have-

Celest: "Thy understand the process of the curative abilities of Radiatons." *She suddenly disappeared in a flash of white light, reappearing next to Arcadia's sleeping body.*

Arcadia: *She took several steps and faced Celest.* What are thou attempting to tell me-?

Celest: *She gently swayed to the side, scratching down Arcadia's sleeping face.* This..

Arcadia: *Blood ran down her face and dripped off her chin, splashing into the water around her.* (The connection is both ways?)

Celest: Is it that shocking?

Arcadia: As thou mentioned, thy've never been in a situation where-? *The blood continued to drip into the pond, causing her to stop talking.* Why?

Celest: Thou do not possess Radiatons in this body.

Arcadia: Thy know-

Celest: *She looked up and sighed.* Locki-

*Before Celest even started her sentence, Locki suddenly appeared behind her in a flash of white light.*

Locki: (Celest always had a rough way of educating people.)

Arcadia: What is going on? *She wiped the blood off her forehead, only to get irritated as it promptly ran down her face.*

Celest: Is it not obvious?

Arcadia: (She's right! The wound she inflicted on me is not healing-)

--

Blake: Back then, did you mean Astragons and Neurons? Or somefing completely different?

Bhavik: *He nodded his head once with a smile.* Neuragenicons and Astragenicons?

Blake: "Yea, them! *He sounded confused and went to look over his shoulder, noticing Bhavik walk up by his side.* Don't tell me they're another way of saying Neurons and Astragons?"

Bhavik: Well, actually, just like Remenistal, they are the older words used to describe them.

Blake: Say wha-?

Bhavik: I prefer not to. For obvious reasons, people decided to shorten the words down as they are used rather excessively.

Blake: Well?

Bhavik: Well, what?

Blake: Tell me more about it?

Bhavik: I'd prefer to talk more concise, but in this situation, it seems I'm unable to do that. Essentially, Shadiagenicons, Radiagenicons, Auroriagenicons, Neuragenicons, Astragenicons, Remenistal are now called Shadiatons, Radiatons, Aurorions, Neurons, Astragons and Rostical.

Blake: I had no idea they had different names.

Bhavik: It seems not all facts or information make it through the trials of history.

Blake: Rite.

Bhavik: But, they did miss the mark in naming it Neuragons.

Blake: Why?

Bhavik: Well, the body already has Neurons. It just seemed a little confusing.

Blake: But Neurons and Astragons aren't really used in the same sentence as Neurons in the brain?

Bhavik: Well, it's more a nerve cell, but I always giggle to myself when people say that Neurons have gone to the brain.

Blake: You find that funny? It's a serious condition, hey.

Bhavik: I don't find the condition funny- *He paused with a sigh as if Blake should know better.*

--

Rachael: Blake was able to infiltrate Sorrowprax-

Tyler: Sorrowprax-?

Rachael: *She placed her hand up, implying she didn't want to be interrupted.* We successfully retrieved all of the Sacred Dancers.

Ginger: Yoh? K-Karol would be so pleased-

Rachael: But- *As she readied to tell Ginger, Karol shuffled his feet into the facility.*

Ginger: Ey? *She tilted her head to the side as if she couldn't understand Karol's body language.*

Tyler: He looks really upset. (Karol?) *He spoke to himself with realisation.* He was that boy that was in the guild-

Ginger: Upset? Please respond?

Rachael: *She purposely walked up to Ginger and Tyler.* His.. *She covered her mouth.*

Ginger: Ey?

Tyler: Rach?

Rachael: His father died in his arms not even twenty minutes ago.

Ginger: *Her eyes widened in disbelief.* Ey.. His kazoku? *She whispered under her breath.*

--

Karol: *He watched Ginger present him with the squishy orb.* What is that?

Greg: Its actual name is called the Popping Life.

Ginger: Asuna, my sister-in-law had very weak Neurons. She would often get sick. I suppose his actions were not that illogical after all.

Karol: How?

Blake: *He looked awkward.* (Don't ask that question-)

Ginger: Yoh? How did they perish? It was all to that yellow-eyed illness. *She focused her attention to the gel-like orb.* It was far too late, but we have done it.

Karol: This was for your famwily?

Ginger: My kazoku.

Karol: For your famwily. *He nodded his head and started to laugh.* Nee hee heeheeheehee- *His laughter slowly turned into cries, alerting Blake, Greg and Ginger.*

Cameron: Is he laughing? Or-?

Blake: *He placed his finger on Cameron's lips, stopping him from talking.* Cam said this to me once and it's, like, stuck in my head ever since.

Karol: -Heehee nee-harh harh harh- *He dropped to his knees and cried with a false sense of laughter.*

Ginger: *She slowly dropped to her knees and hugged Karol with watering eyes.* (If you are experiencing the illogical sense of loss like I have, I will ensure to be there for you.)

Blake: Those that are forced to face or stare into darkness for as long as I totes have, then they're also the first people to see the light that flickers inside of it.

Cameron: (That was when Blake struggled to find his place in the warrior's rankings. It was a significantly dark time for him. Different scenario, but those words would still hold meaning.)

Karol: That's silly-harh harh harh- *He cried at the end of the sentence.* I dhon't want to experience the darkness tooh enjoy the happiness.. I was already happy.

Blake: Sometimes life doesn't need a reason, it just comes to bad luck and circumstances, hey.

Ginger: I understand that we have not known each other for long. But I will be by your side until you are able to revisit your memories with happiness.

Karol: It hasn't been long.. I dhon't fink I'll evarh get over this! *He cried in Ginger's arms.*

Ginger: *She ran her fingers through Karol's hair.* Ey, K-Karol.. You never will.

Karol: *He opened his eyes and mouth in shock.* W-What?

Ginger: There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of the wasted opportunities that I could have spent with Sasuke or Asuna.. Even Niklauseh, after their demises, his personality altered and he too, became illogical.

Karol: What are yooh saying?

Ginger: In terms of logic, you appear to have the best sense of understanding, I am not entirely sure if this is due to your age as you have yet to be affected by malevolence, but please- *She paused.* "Please do not allow that trait to falter into what a lot of adults become stricken with."

Karol: Gingarh, dadsy died-

Ginger: I do not know what events transpired-

Blake: From wat I've seen, he sacrificed himself to ensure the protection of his people and to give you and your mother a better life.

Karol: "Life without dadsy isn't bettarh!" *He squealed with anger.*

Blake: (Shit, maybe I didn't word that rite!)

Mio: (You truly are bothersome.)

Blake: *He frowned.* (Maybe help me instead of, like, commenting on everyfing I do wrong, aye.)

Mio: (Say these words!-)

Blake: *He looked down with a pause as if he was listening, before looking back up to Karol.* Your father.. Dadsy, his sacrificial actions proved how much you meant to him.

Ginger: (Blake is wiser than people think, but these do not sound like his words.)

Blake: "What Bla-.. What I meant to say, is that he chose to act on what he thought would benefit you-"

Karol: Bhut-

Blake: If you deny your life, if you're miserable, or if you're upset, there is nothing wrong with reacting like this, despite how bothersome, but it goes against everything he wished upon you. He wanted you to live a happy life, that's all.. *His eyes watered.* (.. This is not true-)

Mio: (Hegarty!)

Blake: *He sighed.* That's what fathers want for their children. *He formed fists and shook his head.* No! That's what fathers who love their kids want! *He shouted with a hiss.*

Cameron: (Using Mio's wisdom and his own experiences to give excellent feedback.)

Ginger: Ey? You made something so illogical, like making an emotionally-filled action make complete sense.

Karol: "Noffing about this makes sense!"

Ginger: Negatory. I do not place many people above me, but if I had to choose, I would have done the illogical thing and sacrifice myself for Sasuke.

Karol: Why?! Then he'd be living without you!

Ginger: *Tears ran down her emotionless face.* If it allowed him to live, so be it.. *She suddenly laughed with sadness.* I had answered my own question that I have pondered for years..

Karol: What's that?

Ginger: Why brother has changed so. He is living without his love and son. So that is why, that is why I will not allow your light to falter, as previously stated.

Karol: .. Gingarh.

Ginger: *She tightly held onto Karol.* You are a part of my kazoku! Let it out, but do not fall into the darkness.

--

*Gabriel wheezed in pain and watched more of his skin vein over his open wounds.*

Gabriel: "Gahaha! Slowly but surely.. That unbelievable successive of Grand Remenistal, one after the other... Surely would've killed anyone."

*Gabriel chuckled blood and groaned in pain.*

Gabriel: *He watched aurora colours continue to glow around his wounds, failing to notice an exhaust-like drip of Aurorions sweat off his skin.* Absolutely marvellous. These new powers... All this knowledge, it was as if I had a direct connection to The Voice of On. Learning new things has brought out the scientist in me, gahahaha.

*Gabriel coughed out more blood and wheezed, causing red saliva to ooze from his mouth.*

Gabriel: Trial and error though. This is what I get from having too much confidence.

Chapter 1: The Susanoo Dungeon

*Rachael, Ginger, Nathan, Blake, Luna, Lezard and Karol ran on a grassy wall, listening to their cushiony footsteps swoosh behind them.*

Rachael: *She looked to the side, staring at the ground.* This is so strange.

Luna: I reckon, aye!

Blake: I heard ground Rostical Users and Elementalists have trouble with their balance when they're not on the ground. Is it tru?

Rachael: That's true, but despite this being the wall? I'm still touching the ground.

Blake: "Oh, so it's cool if you're just touching the ground? *He watched the path he ran on slowly form into a 360-like spiral.* Hey?!"

Ginger: Ey, Blake! Do not fret! Gravity will make it seem like we are just running on a curvy path! Do not focus on the visualisation of what is ahead of us, or you will lose concentration.

Luna: This reminds me of some adventure game that runs on gravity, aye.

Ginger: Yoh? It runs on gravity? Does it not utilise Astragons? What a rare phenomenon!

Luna: No, I mean-, pssht.. Yea, sure!

Nathan: *He looked up, staring at another grassy wall.* It does play tricks on your mind!

Luna: *She clicked her fingers with a smirk.* Like that blue hedgehog runnin' around those ring thingos-

Destiny: (What are you talking about?)

Lezard: *He hobbled behind the guild and took deep breaths.* Could we slow down for poor old Lezard?

Karol: *He skipped in front of Lezard and looked behind him, purposely slowing down to catch up to Lezard.* Wezard! Let's go!

Ginger: Affirmative. We must keep moving onward.

Lezard: "Well, Lezard has something that also plays on the mind!" *He spoke as if he wanted a response.*

Luna: *She rolled her eyes with a grunt.* What is it, Lizard?

Lezard: It's Lezard-

Luna: Wateva.

Blake: Watevs.

Luna: *She hid her smirk.* Spit it out already?

Destiny: *She flew above Luna, guiding her along the spiral path they ran on.* Yeup!

Lezard: Okies.. So, a rooster laid an egg on top of a barn roof. Which way did it roll?

Rachael: "A rooster?" *She sounded unsure by Lezard's question.*

Luna: Wat position is the egg placed in?

Ginger: Yoh? Well, the answer is quite clear- *She spoke condescendingly.*

Luna: Pssht. *She gritted her teeth and frowned at Ginger in a competitive-like manner.*

Destiny: Yeup? (Luna?)

Luna: (I wanna show that bitch that I'm not as dumb as she makes me feel!) How is the roof made, Lizard?

Lezard: Like a triangle? *He pointed his fingers and formed an upside down V with his hands.*

Luna: "Well, down obviously."

Lezard: Bwarharh.

Ginger: Yohohoho.

Rachael: Oh, Luna. *She sighed under her breath.*

Luna: "Wat?"

Blake: Umm, should we tell her?

Nathan: Luna-

Rachael: Roosters don't lay eggs..

Luna: *She gasped and frowned as if it just occurred to her.* I-I knew that!

Lezard: Lezard one, Loonzamotto, zero.

Luna: Lame!

Lezard: Lezard has another one!

Ginger: (The Guardians.) *She watched the ground slowly move around her as she ran further along the spiral path, causing her hair to sway around, keeping a fixated force towards the proper ground.* (As I had expected, I have no sovereign over them-)

Lezard: How can a person stay up for ten days without sleeping?

Luna: I dunno. Water and proper nutrients?!

Lezard: Noppers!

Luna: Grrrgh. *She growled through gritted teeth.* "Wat is it?"

Lezard: Easy, my delicious sausage! We sleep at night!

Blake: Yikes. *He looked awkward.*

Luna: "Grrr!"
