A few days after Krytheos joins the Crusaders, he decides to explore around the base. He goes around and enters the first door he sees. It leads into Aevum's lab, and he decides to go inside. He sees a giant box full of potions, and he starts rummaging through them. Aevum walks inside, and he sees Krytheos. He gets angry and starts yelling at Krytheos. "STOP MESSING WITH MY DAMN POTIONS. YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK THEM AND CAUSE PROBLEMS," Aevum yells.
Krytheos gets annoyed that Aevum is yelling at him, "YoU'rE gOiNg To BrEaK tHem. Like, damn, I'm not going to break anything, so stop yelling. You're not my dad," Krytheos says with an amount of sass that I have rarely heard in my life. He continues to rummage through the potions.
Aevum gets more annoyed. "IT'S NOT YOUR DAMN STUFF, IT'S MINE, SO DON'T MESS WITH IT. IORI, TELL KRYTHEOS TO STOP MESSING WITH MY GOD DAMN STUFF," Aevum yells, completely losing his mind. Krytheos just rolls his eyes and continues to rummage. Iori sighs.
Iori yells over at them from her forge. "KRYTHEOS, STOP MESSING WITH HIS DAMN STUFF." Krytheos just repeats what she says in a mocking tone, obviously not respecting her at all. Iori walks out of her forge and sees Dai'chi. "Dai'chi, go deal with him," she says, annoyed
Dai'chi nods. He reaches behind his back and pulls out a shotgun that was not there, and without opening dimensional storage, he bewilders Iori. "Gladly," he says. He walks over to the potion storage. Iori stands there for a few moments, wondering where the shotgun came from, before going back into the forge.
Krytheos is still rummaging through the potions. He pulls one out and shakes it a bit before throwing it behind himself. The potion breaks, and the liquid in it melts through the floor. "I TOLD YOU TO STOP GOING THROUGH MY STUFF, AND DON'T BREAK MY DAMN POTIONS," Aevum yells at him.
"I do not care, and stop yelling at me," Krytheos says, not caring about Aevum's opinions. Dai'chi walks into the room holding the shotgun. He cocks the gun, and an empty round shoots out the top. Krytheos slowly turns his head as sweat soaks his face. He nervously chuckles. "Ok, maybe I do care a bit more," Krytheos says. Dai'chi starts walking towards Krytheos. Krytheos grabs a potion and steps back. "I'll stop going through the stuff, just put the gun down," Krytheos says.
"I'll put the gun down when you put the potion down," Dai'chi says, his hands completely still. Krytheos quickly drinks the potion. After a few seconds, he starts breathing out a white gas. Dai'chi shoots, and the gas catches fire, burning Krytheos's arm.
"OW, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT POTION HE SAYS. He quickly loads up a previous save file of himself, fixing his arm.
"I did tell you to stop going through my potions. You kept breaking them and didn't even bother to check the labels. You did this to yourself," Aevum says. He opens a magic circle below Krytheos, and he falls through it.
"I guess my work is down here," Dai'chi says. He puts the shotgun behind his back, and it magically disappears, except that no magic is used. He walks out of the room and closes the door behind himself.
A few hours later, Aevum leaves his lab. He heads over to Iori's forge to talk to her. She hears him walk in, and she turns towards him. "What did you end up doing with him? I heard an explosion, then Dai'chi saying his work was done."
"I sent him to the shadow realm. I plan on keeping him there for a while. I won't have to worry about him going through my stuff for a while." Iori nods in approval of what Aevum did. Dai'chi walks into the room. He goes to say something, and then the wall in the main room explodes.
Iori turns off her forge. "What the hell was that? I wasn't expecting any visitors today. It's only like Tuesday or something, maybe Monday. We should really get a calendar in here that isn't Aevum," She says. Dai'chi just stands there, confused for a second.
Aevum just shrugs and teleports outside. He sees the army that attacked previously and teleports back inside. "Oh, it's nothing important. Just those guys that attacked a while ago."
Iori gets mad and starts yelling at him. "THAT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T ANYTHING. THERE WAS A GOD DAMN EXPLOSION!!" Aevum says not to worry about it, and he teleports back outside. Iori shakes her head. "JUST DON'T MAKE A BIG MESS, AND DON'T GET YOURSELF KILLED. WE WON'T HAVE ANYONE TO TELL US WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT IS IF YOU DO. "
"I'm going to go outside, they won't be a problem if I'm out there. Already faced them once, but I thought Aevum said he was going to finish off their leader," He says, slightly confused. Iori looks at Dai'chi, unamused by his arrogance, which is common in the group. Then gets annoyed, realizing that it's Aevum's fault they are here again. Dai'chi accidentally pulls out his shotgun, puts it away, then pulls out his sword.
"Where the hell are you keeping that shotgun?" Iori says, very confused. Dai'chi shrugs his shoulders and avoids the question. Explosions continue to go off in the distance. Iori turns her forge back on
Aevum yells back inside." I MIGHT HAVE TO USE THE TWO SPELLS THAT ALMOST KILLED ME LAST TIME I USED THEM. THEY RESTOCKED THEIR SOLDIERS AGAIN AFTER THE LAST BATTLE."
"Didn't I just say NOT to die. Just be careful. Also, what do you mean by restock them? Did they go to a convenience store to buy them?" She says, still annoyed. Aevum goes back outside and says that being careful is no fun. Iori just puts her hand on her face and sighs. "JUST DEAL WITH THE GODDAMN PROBLEM." Aevum gets thrown through the wall, and Dai'chi walks inside, covered in blood. "Are you guys ok?"
"Tis but a scratch, plus most of this blood ain't mine. Those weaklings wouldn't be able to do any major damage." Dai'chi says right before an earth magic spell hits him in the back of the head, knocking him down. A shadow magic spell hits Iori in the head, doing lots of damage. She shuts off the forge.
"Just get the hell out of here and take that army with you," She says. Aevum heads outside, then he hears someone say something, which makes him angry. He walks forward and teleports him and the whole army away, leaving Dai'chi disappointed.
