NOTICE: PERSPECTIVE SWITCH TO NYTRI
Nytri is on a cliff by the sea painting. She has painted the sea with the birds, clouds, lands and everything looks beautiful. Her face is covered in paint and she smiles at her design, "This is perfect." She takes the canvas and holds it in the air before putting it in her storage space.
Inside her storage space, there's a place filled with multiple paintings and it's the face of everyone she knows. Her entire family is painted and in fun moments too. Nytri appears inside her storage space with her upper body alone, she moves in that state to the area with the paintings and adds this painting to ones about sceneries.
Just as she's about to close the storage space, she hears someone calling her. "MU~M!" she turns around and sees Isadora running in her storage space towards her. Nytri sighs, "I really have to figure out how to keep her out of here." Nytri goes back but keeps the storage open, Isadora jumps out shortly.
"Whew," Isadora sighs, "I waited long for you. Where have you been? She looks around."
Nytri sits on the ground, "I've been exploring." Isadora notices the new canvas arranged in the air waiting to be used and the paint on Nytri's face.
Isadora tilts her head, "Why do you enjoy painting so much?" She sits before Nytri.
"Well," Nytri speaks with a smile, "When painting, it's like being a part of my surroundings. You know, like looking at everything from another perspective. It's also a way to admire nature." Nytri speaks with pride.
Isadora nods her head looking at their surroundings, "It is beautiful, the breeze her is like the lake you always use to laze around back home."
"I wasn't lazing!" Nytri retorts, "I was being at peace."
Isadore is confused, "With what?"
Nytri takes juice and snacks from her storage space and the two eat them. "Being at peace with myself." Isadora stares at Nytri as she continues speaking, "I recall all that I have been through, the good and the bad. And I accept who I have become."
"Is that what being at peace means?" Isadora asks.
"Being at peace," Nytri speaks, "Is knowing who you are, your past and present. Then looking to a bright future."
"I never thought of that," Isadora speaks, "What kind of future do you look forward to?" She eats a snack.
Nytri smiles looking at the clouds, "A future where I have peace and no need or desire to fight. That means where there is you, your siblings and the clan all together having joyous times. That is my peace."
"I never thought of that." Isadore speaks.
"Then what is your peace?" Nytri asks.
Isadora scratches the back of her head blushing, "Well, I kinda want you to be proud of me. But since I achieved that, I decided to follow your footsteps."
Nytri smiles at Isadora, "I am proud of you Isa. But I would prefer it if you took your own path to find your peace."
Isadora giggles, "That's why I'm here!" she smiles brightly and makes a V hand pose.
Nytri chuckles, "So, why did you come all this way to find me?"
"Oh right," Isadore speaks, "I nearly forgot." She brings something from the Nexusphere storage space, it's a metallic orb but having a blue color. "I managed to temporarily hold skills in objects, though it slips into anyone who touches it except when they already have the skill."
Nytri raises brow looking at the orb and Isa in thought, "This kid is a true genius. She always comes up with something I never expected." Nytri speaks, "So what skill does it hold?"
Isadora throws the orb to Nytri and she catches the orb but the orb remains the same. Isadora grins, "It's the Pseudo Shell skill we talked about the other time. Since you have the original skill you wouldn't absorb it. I'm planning on making some for the Azurites so they all can have the skill for protection."
Nytri smiles, "That's nice, so what do you use to make it?"
Isadora speaks, "Not only does it give then the skill, it also gives them similar functionalities though a lot inferior to the skill itself."
Nytri tilts her head, "Ok, so what do you use to make it?"
"This skill orb thingy has a lot of potential," Isadora speaks, "Since we can imbue it with skills I'm thinking of making it possible to take the skills of the unsavory sorts. We ca-"
"Isa." Nytri speaks and Isadora looks down, "I crystalized your energy and liquified it to make the core of the orb. You have to understand, your energy is the purest by far and isn't reactive at all unless you make it. It's in a perfect stable state that can...." She continues talking.
Nytri sighs in thought, "That explains why I always had that feeling of someone being around me when I sleep. Well, I got closure." Then Nytri tilts her head and Isa stops talking, Nytri speaks. "I'm not saying you can't use my energy, but I would prefer it if you told me what you would use them for." Isadora beams up in excitement and Nytri continues, "The first time you used my energy without my notice, you almost blew the bunker up."
Isadora shrugs, "The past is in the past, there's no nee-"
"Learn from it." Nytri speaks, "It's past so learn from it and don't repeat the same mistakes. Okay?"
Isadora nods speaking lowly as if she's been scolded, "Okay."
"Alright," Nytri speaks getting up, "Let's test it out."
Isadora looks at Nytri curiously, "On who?"
"There's a lot of test subjects wandering around," Nytri speaks spreading her hand across the lands, "All we have to do is find one and we can do whatever we want with them. Besides, the world would be better off without them." Isadora gets up and looks across the lands, hers and Nytri's eyes glows as if scanning the vast lands ahead of them.
"Nice." Isadora grins, "13 test subjects. How do we go about it? Hypnosis, Coercion, Torture?"
Nytri shakes her head, "Isa dear, you have to keep in mind that they're test subjects. As such, there is no need to consider them amongst the living. Let's go." Nytri activates Flight Mode and spreads her wings. Isadora manipulates her center of gravity and she flies but her body doesn't move, she just floats as if standing. Nytri flaps her wings and breaks the sound barrier, Isa follows right behind though it looks like she's standing as everything moves past her.
They arrive by a cave in a mountain, they descend and land before the cave. The cave is a bandit base, the bandits didn't notice them arrive. The bandit leader sees 2 beautiful girls in his camp, he grins walking towards them. "What do we ha-"
Nytri stretches her hand at him and he's strangled in the air, the bandits grab their weapons to fight. A bandit charges at Isa, Isa's eyes glows and the bandit's skin starts peeling off until he's only bones. No screams were heard from him. The other bandits are filled with fright but they still charge at them.
Nytri's hair tips turns white and extends till it touches the ground, webs spread from the tips covering the entire mountain in mere moments. The bandits are immobilized and have no way to move, they struggle but still can't even take a step.
"Some of these are useless," Isa speaks holding her cheek, "What should we do with them."
"Cull them." Nytri speaks her words terrify the bandits and a screen appears before Nytri.
[NOTICE: FEAR has been instilled. TERROR can be activated]
"NO WAIT!" The bandit leader begs, "If you hurt us the noble will come after you." And his thoughts, "Please believe me! I don't want to die!" He stairs into Nytri's symbolic eyes.
"You're bluffing." Nytri speaks clearly reading his mind, "A count in the next city huh. CONSTRUCT CREATION > CLOCKWORK ASSASSINS x3" 3 circuits form in thin air then 3 Clockwork Assassins appear from it bowing to Nytri. Nytri looks at the Assassins, "The count has a lot of wealth. Get." The Assassins stand and flash like blurs towards the city. The completely empty the noble's coffers and any noble he had any relation with.
Nytri holds the orb close to the bandit leader, she tosses it at him and he absorbs the skill but the orb changes color to grey. Nytri's vision changes, now she can see EP moving in the bandit leader's body to his head. His soul space is infiltrated then the new skill is installed. Nytri looks into the bandit leader's eyes, "FEAR > CONTROL." The bandit leader is under Nytri's control due to fear but he's basically a zombie now since he's literally dirt before her. "Activate the new skill." Nytri speaks.
The bandit activates it and a skin suit covers him then rocky armor starts appearing around his body. "Isa look at thi-" Nytri stops when she sees Isa looking at a ripped arm of a bandit, she just turned it into gold.
"Uhhh," Nytri walks closer to Isa, "Aren't you only able to turn any inorganic matter to gold? What's this?"
"Oh right," Isa speaks, "I could only turn inorganic matter before because of my knowledge them. Now, I merely see them as tools to be used, that's how I was able to turn organic matter into gold. Not gold alone, I can even turn them to copper." A bandit becomes a copper statue with a pose of fright etched on his face as his last moments.
Isa also turns some into crystals and puts them in a storage pouch she's been carrying around. They observe the bandit leader covered in Pseudo armored, "Not bad," Isa speaks, "If I do say so myself." She has a proud grin.
Nytri pats Isa on her head, "Good job kiddo."
Isa blushes, "Mu~m! I'm not a kid anymore!" Nytri chuckles. They record data on the bandit leader and make him push the skill to make an armor ball of 5 meter-radius. That is the limit of the bandit leader, Isadore touches the chest of the bandit and he screams in excruciating pain none like before.
[AU:INFO
- Isadore Goldstein Alcore doesn't have a storage space of her own despite moving across people's storage space.
- Nexupshere has a storage space but it's a complicated space that borders between reality and Data world. Anything there can enter the Nexusphere and anything in the Nexusphere can come out of it. So it's entirely possible to cook in the Nexusphere and bring it out. Sadly, Nytri hasn't noticed it yet.
- FEAR: Passive/Hidden Effect skill of Nytri that reduces the stats of the target by 60% no matter the level difference.
- TERROR: Active subskill of FEAR, it traps those under 'FEAR' effect in an illusion. They die according to the illusion they see. Nytri is unable to see the illusion.
- Nytri can read minds when she's in combat mode.
- ARMORED SHELL defensive skill creates a thin armor from the skin of the user but the armor expands and increases to cover them. It has been tested by making ball shells to determine it's strength. High level is big enough to cover an entire mountain. Low level is able to cover 20 meter-radius and even make weapons to fight back.
- Pseudo Shell: Artificial skill created by Isadore Goldstein Alcore capable of mimicking the original ARMORED SHELL.
