Breaking Down Barriers

((This is an RP based in the Illusion Game Canon some point after Illusion Game II. I am Arc, @Mighty Roman is Rallen))

((Last post to get updated.))
Aaron prepared for his jump. He stood in front of the scanner, looking for any anomalies. They found none. Aaron wore his suit. "I'm ready." He said to his secretary. "If I am not back after three weeks our time, do not come looking. Continue operations. I will return at some point." Aaron put on his helmet. "commence Jump in three, two, one." He fell from the airlock, into space, and he disappeared.

Rallen was searching across the ruins of 'The Town'. Logan barked merrily by his side. Rallen pressed his scanner. A blue circle appeared around him. There were no signs of life in the nearby area. However, his Prizmod buzzed. There was someone in the sky, someone falling from space. He detected where this stranger would appear, and ran towards that part of the street. 'Honki De Iku Ze!'

Aaron saw the ground approaching. "Gotta slow down! Gotta slow down!" He hit the parachute on his suit in time, He crashed into what was once a house. "Ow." He shouted. He pushed his way up. "Gotta find some evidence of survivors." He said limping out of the wreckage.

Rallen stared at the newcomer. Logan continued to wag his tail merrily, despite Rallen's suspicions.
'I am Officer Rallen of the Nanairo Planetary Patrol. Do you remember who you are?'

This better not have been another plot by The Reapers...thought Rallen. He had seen little of their activity in the previous months.

@The Silver Paladin

 

[Minerva]

Aaron coughed and took off his helmet. "M-my name." *cough* "Is Aaron White, but please, call me Arc." Aaron put his helmet on the ground. "I am from a group known as the Dragoons. We are dedicated to protecting the Multiverse." Aaron coughed again.

 

[Mighty Roman]

'Some kind of resistance force?! Well, you've taken your time. Is Arc some kind of codename or something?'

Rallen paused.

'I've been here, in The Town for 6 months now. Looking for Reapers,and searching for, and trying to stop other Illusion Games. Where have you been? Were you that resistance that those teens told us about?'

@The Silver Paladin

 

[Minerva]

Aaron raised his eyebrows. "Arc is my original name, before the Illusion Game. I was trapped in a school, and forced to vote. We killed each other. I started the Dragoons to track the Dark Presence, and to prevent these Illusions from happening. I sometimes make jumps into various universes to check out the situation there." Aaron shrugged. "I sent out a transmission to every universe about it a while back."

@Mighty Roman

 

[Mighty Roman]

'I remember picking it up...but that was months ago for me! But time has always been pretty weird in The Town. In the Illusion, we were there for 1 week real time, although it felt like I'd been there for months. Apparently back in some of the home dimensions, years had passed.

I'm sorry that I couldn't stop your game in time. I had some...professional assistance, but they betrayed me.'

 

[Minerva]

Aaron sighed. "Yeah. It's been years for me. I started the Dragoons, became a Quantum Physicist, all that jazz. The Game was hell. We at least found out who the Overseer and his agent were. We had a man in a Diving Suit help us at the end." Aaron shrugged. "You ready to leave? I'm not detecting any sign of The Dark Presence, or Umeko here. We can talk on my Space Station."

@Mighty Roman

 

[Mighty Roman]

Rallen picked up Logan. 'Yep, I'm ready. I've packed up all of my stuff as you can see. Shall I take my Jetpack, or do you have some Transmat tech?'
@The Silver Paladin

 

[Minerva]

"Take the jetpack just in case. The Station is in a whole other dimension." Aaron said. He put his helmet back on. "Ready? Grab on to the suit!" He said through the suit.

@Mighty Roman

 

[Mighty Roman]

Rallen pressed a button on his Prizmod. The Jetpack wings shot out from his back. He grabbed onto the suit, but activated his Omega Gauntlet, just incase it was a Trap. He grabbed onto the suit, and nodded.

[Minerva]

Aaron pulled out what looked like an iPad, and typed some coordinates into it. "We have a minute before we can go. So, what's your motive for fighting the Illusion Games?"

@Mighty Roman

 

[Mighty Roman]

'I was needed. The war with The Krawl was ending, and nobody deserved the fate that we suffered here. Perhaps my skills as a Junior Planetary Patrol Officer outside of Nanairo. Why did you choose to fight, assuming that you were given the same options as me?'
@The Silver Paladin

 

[Minerva]

Aaron sighed. "Our options were merge with the other form of ourself, create your own life, Stay with the diver and fight the darkness, or remain in the darkness and let it take you." Aaron said. "I chose the second option. I enter to dig more into it, so I could learn the enemy better. And therefore fight it better."

@Mighty Roman

 

[Mighty Roman]

And to find Umeko?

Rallen smiled.

We could either go home, or stay and fight. I stayed. I haven't heard about this Diver guy. Sounds like a weird kind of Spectrobe Master.

@The Silver Paladin

 

[Minerva]

Aaron smiled. "Yes, and to find Umeko." He tapped the iPad again. "The Diver is... Unknown. All we know is, he saved us. He showed everyone the light. Including Simon." Aaron shrugged. "He's an anomaly I guess."

@Mighty Roman

 

[Mighty Roman]

'Who's Umeko? And I assume that this Anomaly has something to do. With Elliot, the outsider, who seemed to know about the game while it was being played?'
@The Silver Paladin

 

[Minerva]

"Umeko... She was my girlfriend. We were locked in the prom together. We only kissed twice, and then... She left." Aaron sighed. "I don't know who Elliot is. The Diver was considered an Outsider, though. Even though he protected everyone."

 

[Mighty Roman]

'Sorry about what happened to your girl, pal. Do you have any idea about her real name, or her Universe Designate?'

'Perhaps Elliot and The Diver are connected in some way?'
