A brighter side to this war has finally shown itself in the form of Dannadise. She puts her faith and trust in her great descendant as well as grandson, Delio-Dant. Whilst their war took place, we venture back over towards the Construction Clan where Clarissa, Jollister, Gna, and Teipha are located. They were busy with Shiitania and Sonya who were showing them around the clan. They could easily sense the current events going on within the Light Clan, Luminaria. They watched as Dannadise turns the tides of the war within the clan itself single handedly without revealing her true strength. She was a force to be reckoned no matter what form she used, nor the level of strength. But currently, Clarissa and the others were on their way back to the throne room.
Shiitania: "Clarissa babe, when's the last time you visited Gaia-Minettía?"
Clarissa: "Oof, a true visit, without an avatar?"
Shiitania: "Yes, without an avatar, Clarissa."
Clarissa: "Hmm… it's been more than a few millennia if I'm being completely honest with you, Shiitania."
Shiitania: "Yeesh… then I'm guessing you haven't seen what's going on exactly, have you?"
Gna: "Nah, she definitely hasn't. We wouldn't be here if she had known!"
Clarissa: "Known what?"
Jollister: "Mhm… (This ain't looking good, mayne.)"
Teipha: "Hmm…"
Shiitania: "Tuh, it looks as though a few more of your Untold TRUTH members have infiltrated the clan over there. Your mom's rep will soon have the time to intervene at this point. And you know what she does to trespassers…"
Clarissa: "WHAT!? They're still there!? Tch, (Lemme see!) Vision's Zenchi(Mental Variant)!!"
She uses this to extend her visual prowess and capabilities to a level needed to see clearly into the events of Gaia-Minettía.
Gna: "Hmph, yeah… auntie Rosalina actually has been going a bit wild. Even showing glimpses of her true power."
Clarissa: "Tch, no waaaayyYAH!"
Clarissa got to bare witness to her associates and family standing by within Gaia-Minettía. They all watched as Joi and Rosalina fought in the cosmos well above the grounds of Gaia-Minettía. They were nearly out of the clan and entering the void of space. Rosalina was on the defensive as Joi pressed up on her with her strongest techniques. Firing consecutive large attacks back to back. Each one was meant to disrupt Rosalina's harmony and tempo. Joi needed a clear shot and hit if she wanted to actually take victory in this match against Rosalina. But Rosalina used her very acute control of the Terra element to brush off any attacks that got too close to her person.
Clarissa: "Tch… I see now. And to make matters worse. My mom's representative within the clan is almost done with their weekly meditation. Once that's done… she'll devour the intruders like a plant does nutrients from rich soil."
Shiitania: "Heh, guess your lil pals are in trouble then, eh?"
Jollister: "Ugh… that idiot Miitto must've lost his grip on Joi."
Gna: "It doesn't really help that Amadeus is there as well. Which has caused uncle Jujoku to lose his focus in ending the farce. He knows what's about to happen to every one of them, except… Jujoku himself."
Clarissa: "Gaaaah, alright… allllright! We'll have to cut this meeting/visit short and head there, NOW!!"
Teipha: "Oof… ok."
Jollister: "Tch, I guess this is gonna be it then, mayne!"
Sonya: "Tch, that wasn't nearly enough time, big bro. When will you return?"
Jollister: "Whenever I can, sis. I promise to never neglect what you, moms, and our other siblings helped create here. I want to be part of it, so I will!"
Shiitania: "Oh are you, son? Good, very good to hear it lil "bro"."
Jollister: "Ew moms, gone head and chill that shit out, mayne."
Sonya: "Just ugh, tell him to keep his word next time, "sis"."
Shiitania: "Ew… don't do that."
Sonya: "NAH…"
Jollister: "You don't do that Renaissance ass shit next time, moms. Just… just…"
Sonya & Jollister: "Embarrassing, mayne."
Sonya: "Like c'monnn, maaayne!!"
Jollister: "Aaaaye, like what she talm bout, sis!? *Slap* *slap* C'mon now." *Clasp* *slide* … *SNAP*
He performed a nifty handshake with his younger sister.
Shiitania: "Aight, y'all get the fuck out then, ye old codgers!
Sonya: "Ah, the ol' Slovik' accent. That's more like it, momma!"
Clarissa: "Mhm, we should go. Y'all wouldn't survive a pluck from her when she gets this irritated."
Jollister: "Aye, no cap, Rissa. You speakin' facts, mayne!"
Gna: "Ugh… onward to watch Rosalina beat Joi then?"
Clarissa: "Mhm… you think so?"
Jollister: "Most def, big cuzzo Rosa got that shi locked… down!"
He points to the floor as he waltzes forward.
Teipha: "From my experiences with both… Rosalina has it due to her always keeping her true power under wraps. Joi goes through her daily life at almost full power."
Clarissa: "True, but none of that matters when the rep of Life I is getting involved. We have about thirty minutes before the rep is done with her meditation! Let's go!"
All three: "RIGHT!!"
As Shiitania and Sonya bear witness to Clarissa, Jollister and the others taking off in the direction of Gaia-Minettía. Where they were headed now held a massive fight between two Goddesses within its grounds and territory. Rosalina used her mastery of the Terra element to disrupt the masterful use of Dust by Joi. Joi grew slightly frustrated with the current turn of events. She couldn't seem to get past Rosalina's defenses even for a second. Rosalina even made use of the environment from Gaia-Minettía's natural greenery. She utilizes her loose link to Life and controls the Life essence within her home. Now the trees, plants, vines, and even the shrubbery were playing guard for Rosalina during battle. Giving her the perfect opportunity to hide and flank Joi's six. Rosalina's attempt at succeeding in a sneak attack to gain an upper hand.
Rosalina: "Seems as doe, relying on only your dust will not get you anywhere. Especially when I can just countuh it with my own Earth dust."
Joi: "Tch… well then, I guess it's time for me to rely on my StaffConcept as of right now."
Rosalina: "Hmph, go ahead and do your worst. You know exactly what I'll end up doing, just in case you gain any upper hand in the last few minutes."
Joi: "Last few minutes!? Whatever do you mean by that, Rosa?"
She ceased her attacks for the time being. It seems she was truly thrown off by Rosa's peculiar statement.
Rosalina: "I meaannn dat a very powerful being will be free to defend our home soon. Dey are best friends wit my mudduh and fadduh, and will come to dis very location…"
Mitto: "Hmm…"
Amadeus: "It is best if you take your team here and leave, Jujoku-Koku."
Jujoku: "I know, but Joi is a hard one to restrain. I'm hoping hearing the shocking news of what's to come will force her to leave."
Amadeus: "Hmm…"
Rosalina: "To devour every intruduh here, except my younguh brudduh… Jujoku."
Joi: "Wh… Wh-What daaa FUCK did you just say!?"
Kareezim: "You heard right. Now let's not make my auntie go and have to repeat herself, word to!"
Joi: "Tch, why are all you Super Powers so damn freakish when it comes to your most prominent members!?"
Rosalina: "Freakish?"
Kafitti: "Ha, I tink et be because you used the term, "devour", Rosa."
Eolie: "It was quite the odd term to use if we're being honest. Dough it does describe what she does accurately, but not in the way dat dese fools are tinking."
Miitto: "Tch, what evah do you all mean by et then!?"
Jujoku: "She has more essence than the likes of all of us here. Amongst we TRUTH members, she has more than all of us combined. She's a Hunter level being, and I say all this so that you all understand why we can't stop her technique. You'll all be trees when she gets here. So the fighting stops no-
Joi: "As IIIIFF!!!"
She charged at Rosalina with her Staff at the ready.
Rosalina: "Tch! We only have two minutes before her meditation is ovuh and done wit. I'll have you kneeling once more well before then!" *FLASH*
Clarissa: "Damn… both Rosalina and Joi's power just spiked! Don't they know that'll end her meditation early!?"
Gna: "Damn! And telling Jujoku to wrap it up did nothing for us in the end!"
Jollister: "Mhm… when it comes to these memmbahs of the fam-bam, I'm quite the expert. Ayo, Rissa!"
Clarissa: "What is it, Jollister?"
Jollister: "I got a guarantee plan for us. Now relay this message to Rosalina and get ready to blast off. Gna, Teipha and I will hang on to ya speed stream, a'ight?"
Clarissa: "Hmph… shoot then."
Jollister: "Heh, bet!"
The four of them flew off into the cosmos, racing towards Gaia-Minettía. More specifically, they were heading towards Rosalina and the others. Meanwhile, Rosalina was busy dodging a storm of strikes from the head of Joi's spear-like staff. Each strike was more deadly than the last and even faster as time passed. Rosalina had to stay on her toes and constantly adapt to avoid the dangers. That was until she finally got the message from Clarissa.
Rosalina: "Tch, should I go ahead and show her-
(Clarissa: "Yo… Rosa, you there?")
Rosalina: "Hm!? (Big sis!?)"
Amadeus: "Hmm… (That essence that just entered Rosa… was it?)"
Jujoku: "Elder brother, it's her…"
Rosalina: "What is et? I'm busy!" *Ting* *TING*
(Clarissa: "I can see that, I could also care less. The Professor is almost done, she's wrapping it up due to your surge!")
Rosalina: "Tssk… so what now-
(Clarissa: "Show a glimpse of your true power and take her down in the next few seconds. There isn't enough time for them to leave now, but you and I can calm her down. Mostly me, your victory will speak for itself!")
Rosalina: *Deep Sigh* "Alright, let's do this." *CLICK*
Amadeus: "HRNG!?" *Glance*
Jujoku: "Ah… SHIT!"
Joi: "What the… (This essence… it isn't her Birthright either!!)"
Kafitti: "Heh, this is going to be exciting!"
Kareezim: "Even ten seconds of this is more than I could ever ask for!"
Xientao: "What is going on, Jujoku!!?"
Jujoku: "It seems my older sister has finally decided to get serious!"
Joi: "Tch, serious, he says!?
She turned back around to face Rosalina upon hearing Jujoku's words.
Rosalina had now lit up like an ungodly star with terrifying levels of essence pouring out. Her body turned into a plastered silhouette with a mixture of forest green and earthen brown as its color. Her essence continued to boil until it reached a critical point. It was at this time that the pillar of essence would stabilize and stop its influence. That same influence left the clan in shock, for they hadn't felt its presence for countless millennia. It shook the core of their home with a gentle stir that carried an eerie darkness within it. Even with all this, Rosalina was still only using a piece of her total hidden power. As of now, she merely wanted to stand above Joi in strength. Even if only by a small margin.
Now… Rosalina stood before Joi with a pillar of Earthen Life wrapped around her. The true representation of a Gaia Elemental and their immense strength. Joi was still a tranquil hot-head who hates backing down, so… well, of course she went in for an attack. She was under the impression it could all be nothing more than a flashy bluff. But to her surprise… Rosalina dodged each and every strike with minimal movement. Joi tried to counter this with a rapid swarm of strikes to the right and left to force Rosalina into the middle. She used her staff and her ability to summon more staffs if needed as a way to create multiple weapons. Weapons that would be used to keep Rosalina in place.
Rosalina: (Hm… I can see that you're about to employ a hidden strike with your real staff. How arbitral of you, Joi Termriel…) *Rustle*
Her right arm lifted up as she formed a fist. A single finger shot up from the fist and was waved back and forth as a clear sign Joi's plan wouldn't work!
Joi struck Rosalina in the chest, dead center. She could feel that contact was made with a physical body. But it seemed as though a hole was made in the center of Rosalina's body instead. A hole in which Joi could tell wasn't made by herself. Rosalina continued walking forward with her pillar of light being as dense as ever. Her body reformed almost instantly and was used to stop the next strike with ease. She wanted to make a point, so she stopped the head of Joi's spear-like staff with her cleavage and nothing else. It was quite the upsetting sight to behold, for Joi at least. Rosalina used the state of shock to land a blow on the stomach of Joi. It made her body nearly shut down from the Terra particles that were infused into its cells. Joi couldn't move due to Rosalina's superior control of Terra particles and the concept alike.
Joi: "Tch… o-one hit!?"
Rosalina: "Of course, you're no different from Miitto over here wanting to fight my cousin MorZick. You stand not even a small sliver of a chance. We Gaias are not to be trifled with!"
Joi: "D-Damn! (And now there's two other monsters on their way here!!)"
Amadeus: 'Jujoku…"
Jujoku: "Yeah, she's here!"
Kareezim: "Damn… we were dead ass, too late!"
???: "Who are these intruders… Lord Amadeus? Lady Rosalina?"
Amadeus: "These idiots were misguided by false information and came crashing into our clan. Jujoku, here was their guide and also a dear friend to them all."
???: "Ah, Jujoku… I see, I see. Why bring such riff raff to our home?"
Jujoku: "Professor Floralie(Floor•uh•lie), I've come here by mistake as my elder brother, Amadeus has told you. I apologize for the intrusion and my friend's insistence on fighting my sister, Rosalina."
Floralie: "Hmm, even still, these trespassers dared to step foot within our home with hostile intentions. Most of which are pointed towards your own Nephew, Jujoku. That would include you as well, Young Wukongian!" *FWOOSH*
She sent a jumble of vines and thick roots to capture each and every member of the Untold TRUTH except Jujoku himself. She was preparing her attack- er, no… her technique. One that would assimilate essence and the like into her, completely draining the enemy until even their very cellular essence was taken into her essence pool. Everyone was now at her mercy and could sense that she meant business. Seems as though those who follow the guidance of the Life Goddess are also very sensitive to keeping that same life safe.
Rosalina: "Let me stop you right dere, Prof. Floralie. I've already neutralized the situation along with de othuh guardians. Why must you assimilate dem after dat?"
Floralie: "They are enemies to the clan and therefore must be eliminated by these means. If you wish to stop me, be of the status to do so, which would be Queen or King of Gaia-Minettía. Or even higher than that, the true monarch as in the creator of the clan or one of their vassals. Are you any of these? Even a past Monarch would do."
Rosalina: 'Tch… no."
She lowered her tone whilst her irritation grew.
Floralie: "What was that?"
Rosalina: "N-No ma'am!"
Floralie: "I thought so!"
Amadeus: "Professor… that's enough-
???: "Then let me give the command!"
Amadeus: "Hrngh!?"
Jujoku: "And now things have just gotten worse!"
Rosalina: "No way… if it is not my elduh sistuh. Clarissa… the Second Queen of Gaia-Minettia."
Clarissa: "Greetings to you all, but good and happy greetings are not what I'm here for."
Rosalina: "Mhm… then what brings you here, Rissa?"
Floralie: "Indeed, and why must you give your heavenly hand to such trash?"
Clarissa: "You already know that I know who you are, Floralie. I've told you my plan and forbade you from stepping in. You insisted that my strength be of the level to order such things, so I did. I trained to be equal to even Shiitania when she's unleashed her seal. Now keep your end of the deal up, old lady!"
Amadeus: "Old…
Kareezim: "Lady!? Ay… ayo, is mah aunt buggin' or what b??"
Jujoku: "Tch… (she was barely stronger than me nearly four months ago, but now she's able to suppress even Floralie's level of essence with ease!?)"
Gna: "Hmph… it'd be best if you stood down, Floralie."
Floralie: "Hmm… even Gna, Teipha, and Jollister are here, huh? Alright, alright… fine!" *Release*
She freed all of the unconscious TRUTH members.
Clarissa: "Good… glad to see you haven't lost your logical side."
Floralie: "Indeed, glad to see you have finally began to reflect the level of potential you have with your PSL. It's been more than long enough." *Nod*
Clarissa: "Mhm…" *Nod*
Floralie: "Keep your trash out of our clan next time. If they wish to visit, make it friendly or diplomatic next time. Their forces can't defeat even our newest age of Guardians. How sad, seeing as everyone was holding back."
Clarissa: "Hehe, will do, you old codger!"
Floralie: "Hmph." *BLINK*
Miitto: *COUGH* *COUGH* "Thanks… Rissa- hmm!?"
He looks up to see Gna staring at him with ominous, glowing eyes!
Gna: *Grip* "That's Lady Clarissa to you, Miitto. Don't forget it."
She grabbed his face and spoke in a very low, but malevolent voice.
Miitto: "R-Right…"
Amadeus: "Good, it'd be great to finally have you idiots out of here. Gaia-Minettía is a tranquil place after all."
Jujoku: "Tuh, so what now, Big sis Rissa?"
Clarissa: "It seems you all got what you needed here. So let's make an exit before you idiots do something else. We've got scheming to do!"
The present is now our main focus again and it starts as wild as it left off. The Untold TRUTH has been successful in getting what they came for, now the storm they have brewing may start to set its fangs in the Verse yet!!
