[Video]

[David starts up the video feed. He certainly prepared for this eventuality.]

We have encountered these creatures before a few years back. I created shelters in each city for people to retreat to in the eventuality of another situation like this. There is both magical and technological shielding to help keep the creatures out. The magical shielding was applied by various magic users in their own styles, including former Everglade Guardian Fai. The Genessia City police force is being dispatched to help stem the creatures from getting into the Archways as well as helping Genessia City citizens get to shelters.

[He puts in their location in each city here.]

There is food and supplies and space to house the entire populace of each city.

[The shelters are really that big.]

I would like for anyone that is able to help get people to the shelters if they wish to go as well as stand guard near them to help protect anyone coming in. Fellow Guardians, if you can spare yourself or your people to help with that effort, I would be grateful. Doctors, EMT as well as others that can offer medical help should be going to the shelters as well.


I will be moving through each city and broadcasting this message out with my telepathy to let people know about them, so don't be alarmed if you hear my voice in your head.

[That said, on to information about the creatures.]

Don’t let the creatures touch you, as they drain emotions from you when doing so. It can cause you to turn on your closest friends. These creatures can be dispersed by strong normal means, but they will only return. After their first attack, I had weapons created to help deal with this. If they are dispersed by one of these weapons, they won't return. The ones with the..flowery thing in them are new. So be extra cautious of them.

These weapons have their own drawbacks, however. Creatures from the last time that they were here have been sealed inside of them to give them the ability to banish the creatures for good. We were able to seal some of the creatures inside of sealing stones last time, but getting over run by them is way too easy. I took the creatures sealed in those stones and had them transferred to the weapons.

The weapons, when removed from their sheathes and wielded, have the same affect that the creatures have if they touch you, however it is at a much slower rate. The weapons can be effectively used in combat without much detriment. Though I do advise to only use then for finishing blows.

They have been routinely maintained and stores, so there is no worry about their state. If you want to use one, respond here or contact me directly. These weapons are only being loaned out and will be collected once this is all over. I think it's a good idea not to have these things freely floating around.

I will be going to the Cloister of Trails to see if this can be fixed. The last time there was a breach like this, a handful of people gave up things precious to them to fix it. I doubt it's going to be so easy this time around, because this breach is far worse than that one.

[She almost didn't do it. But eventually, Anastasia did actually attend the award ceremony for this petty popularity contest wearing a pretty new dress that was to die for. Anastasia spent the awards ceremony not really paying attention. Usually just browsing on her phone, looking at online clothing stores and just anything that might catch her interest. She wasn't too surprised about getting some of her early guesses wrong, but some of the winners just seemed weird to her. Like it was done just for the giggles.

But then her name came up as a honorable mention in the cutest female category? That really took her by surprise. But not nearly as much as the earthquake that hit! After the twenty-seconds, Anastasia made a classy exit to see the disaster that was unfolding.]

Not again...

[Unlike before, she was wearing heels. While not high heels, they were still difficult to move around. It would probably be a good idea to get to a safe house instead of going straight back to Nova City right away. She considered her options. She was not going to fly dressed like this, but she couldn't stand to just leave without trying to help.]

( A Princess can't just leave. )

[Private - Dante Sparda and David Jordan]

Blaze here. I'm sure you've already heard Guardian Haller's announcement, so you're aware that we've got an emergency.

Thirteen, I need you to handle the town evacuations to Haller's safe house. I'll leave it to your judgment if you want to return to the archway or stay behind to protect the safe house's entrance afterward.

Dante, I'll need you at the front line. Use whatever method you need to hold those things off. Don't hold anything back.

I'll be aiding in the defense of the archway, and helping any remaining Attleton residents out of Genessia City. Flareon and Sandslash will stay behind to help defend, Mismagius will be with me.

We're not letting a single one of those things through.


[Video]

[The feed starts up with Blaze sitting at the entrance of the Attleton gate in Genessia City on his black and red motorcycle. Behind him are his three Pokemon companions - Flareon, Sandslash and Mismagius - all ready to aid in the cause. He's not going to waste any time with fluff, so he's getting straight to the point. Thank god he didn't go to that award event thing.]

Any Attleton residents in need of an escort to the city, inform me immediately and I'll come get you. Once you're back in the city, Deputy Jordan will escort you to Haller's safe house. Those within city limits that have no fighting ability are not to be permitted outside of the safe house without protection until we can confirm with absolute certainty that Attleton itself is no longer in danger. Anyone nearest to the Attleton archway are welcome to seek refuge here.

If there is anyone else capable of supplying extra support in either the archway's defense or escorting civilians back to the city, we'd be appreciative of any and all help.

[The video cuts, because he's got some serious work to do and a lot of spirits to help deflect. He hopes his Holodeck training pays off.]

WHO: Everyone
WHAT: It's the Genessia awards, bitches. Oh and a after party where things get real. You know with the earthquakes and spirits and the like.
WHEN: Monday 5th June
WHERE: Genessia
WARNINGS: Spirits, earthquakes, possible swearing from Krista. Who knows.

Before the awards
[Everyone is gathered who wanted to come. Things were ready and prepared, everything was perfectly in it's place. All that was needed now were the guests of honor. Red carpet laid out for everyone, interested paparazzi standing on the sidelines ready to take pictures and once one was past, a nice cosy area for people to mingle and talk until it was time. One can get a drink or something to eat, mingle with everyone else or simply get your picture taken. Have fun.]

[OOC: To note, we won't be doing the actual awards in this log so the results will be posted: here.]

After Party
[Tables were set up, nicely decorated. Buffet table set up down one side of the hall while the bar was placed on the other side. A dance floor was even in the back where people could dance the night away if they wanted to. There was also a podium set at the back into the center where the tables were facing. The young blonde herself, the host of the whole thing Krista was standing by it after at least thirty minutes into the party, she taps the glass she held lightly before coughing into the microphone.]

Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls. Welcome to the after party. I hope you enjoyed the awards and congratulations once again to the winners, even if honestly some of them were questionable but that is my opinion. Anyway, that is not why I am standing here for. I wanted to thank everyone for coming, if it wasn't for any of you, I very much doubt this would have even happened. [She gave off the sweetest smile she could possibly do.]

I also wanted to add... [She was about to speak again when there was something strange going on. It was at least enough for the young girl to give pause as she knew what that feeling was. It was an earthquake.]

Okay everyone, this appears to be an earthquake, please do not panic and get under the tables.

[Which seemed simple enough at least. For those who might not be inside the building at the time might notice the sky is different it brighter for around 20 seconds before finally the sky crackles, sparks, and eventually it seems to stop.

That can't be good. Not at all. It wasn't long before there seemed to be something. What's that coming down from the sky? Is it a bird is it a plane. No... They look like freaky spirits. That really isn't good.]

 [Marcus is just heading back from his apartment when he checked the skies.]

What the fuck just happened?

[Voice inside his head]

Emergency?!

Ok, I don't care what the fuck anyone says about my weapon right now, it's needed.

He opens the apartment door again, and cranks up his chainsaw gun running back out and staring out at the sky.




[OOC: Marcus Fenix is in the event, just where to start...]

While Mewtwo hadn't acted immediately once the breach happened, once he had secured his own sub-archway to a satisfactory degree, he made his way to the center of Fayren. In a brief instant, he mused about how this place had changed him. How a year or so ago he would've left Fayren to its fate. But not today. It was a rare chance for him to flex his full psychic might, and do so in service of place that had, for the most part, accepted him and did not care about the power he represented.

With that in mind, and a colossal effort, Mewtwo turned his gaze skyward, eyes radiating a brilliant blue as a wave of energy exploded outward from him. The wave did not affect anything physical, however did seem to act as a wall that repelled the hungering spirits as it expanded. It was unable to encompass all of Fayren with the continuous assault on his own barrier, but it managed to encompass a large amount of it. Once in place he sent out a telepathic message to any within the city, civilian or otherwise. If it had a mind, it would hear his voice.

To everyone within the boundaries of Fayren, for your own safety, come to the center of town as fast as possible.

The call had gone out. Genessia was under attack. Not by some upstart that showed up and thought he could take on the world. No, this was a proper invasion. Extradimensional spirits of some sort, but this was Dante's wheelhouse. Blaze had told him to hold nothing back, so he was going to do just that.

He spent a short minute at his shop getting ready, making sure Ebony and Ivory were locked and loaded, but more importantly, he took a moment to remark to the large blade that hung behind his desk that it was time to come out of retirement. He left Rebellion in the shop, hefting the massive blade onto his shoulder and began marching for the gate connecting Genessia and Attleton.

He did a once-over to check what Blaze had set up, thrusting the point of Sparda into the ground as he cracked every joint in his body methodically. If nothing else, the jokey nature that Dante held so close to his chest was gone, replaced with a grim determination befitting a demon.

"You guys hold down the fort. I've got an army to kill."

He places one hand on Sparda's hilt, yanking it from the ground before a small smirk - one of almost sadistic glee rather than lightheartedness - creeps into his features. "Try to keep up old man."

As if in response, Dante was quickly engulfed in crimson lightning that soon erupted into a geyser of light and power. Gone was the coat clad Dante, replaced with what could only be called a Dark Knight. Without a moment's hesitation, he sped off into Genessia, the massive blade cutting a swath of destruction as he goes, leaving nothing of the invading spectres in his wake.
