[Maverick Hunter Zero]

 "Mission complete, Time to grab those crates." Zero said, massaging his charred knuckles finally able to enjoy success on his first mission since his Maverick hunter days, He survived, somehow miraculously, even with all the wear and tear from the battle against seemingly impossible odds, he survived. Zero grabed the nearest crate of stuff and turned to shadow, giving him a smile.

"You might make a good Maverick Hunter one day." he said to the Ultimate Lifeform, and turned to leave with the crate he picked up.

"Phew, Glad that's over. Now for the aquisition of the goods in this room." Ragna said, his eyes falling on the chest, he would love to see what was stashed inside, but he had to master the impulse as there were others in the vicinity, the corpse that had been infused with the power of the black beast had vaporised after the battle, turning into nothingness. The only thing Ragna could think of was to find the nearest 'Cauldron', throw the chest within it, and destroy both to see what happens and revel in the glory that he had eventually dominated an actual mission.

"I'll take and deal with the chest, it'd be safer this way as I have my own mission to deal with and if I find something that needs destroying that came from my realm, it'll be a two birds with one stone deal here." Ragna said as he sliced at the ground, causing a Black Beast Head to rise up, engulf the chest, and vanish with said chest in an instant, Ragna then went on his way to return to the Life Sphere, leaving a solitary Seithr infused footprint on the nearest empty wall.

When Vivi finally fell, Marth sheathed his sword and picked up two crates, carrying them to a corner of the room and setting them atop each other. He could have just left and said nothing, but he wasn't that kind of person. This was a very impressive team we had here. You were a great leader, I hope we can meet again under different, less deadly circumstances. He said to Shadow with a smile as he grabbed his two crates and continued walking, Hoshi helping him out where she could with various things. The two of them were badly scraped up, but neither of them would die anytime soon, so in that sense, the mission was a success... {EXIT PRESENCE OF MARTH AND HOSHI}

Quote struggled to get up, looking at the battle field and smiling, dusting of his hat and putting it on, before falling over in pain. he then slowly made his way back up, walking to A.I.M. Quote smiled, putting his gun in his holster and grabbing hold of A.I.M's hand and shaking it to the best of his ability. "Thank you. I appreciate the assistance." Quote nodded, remembering A.I.M as a good ally to have on his side. Quote would have to make a list eventually on who was considered a "friend" and aim was certainly there. Quote sighed, as his weak and damaged body made its way to a crate as quote tied it to his back as he walked away with it to take it back to li.

It seemed like everyone worked together and defeated the Mage and his snake, which was good because Lady Sia was getting exhausted wrestling the thing. After slowly going back to her normal yet beautiful form, Lady Sia went and picked up her Jade Sword from the corner of the room. And sheathed it, she did want to see what was in that chest but the guy with the big sword didn't give anyone a chance to speak before staking a claim, and then doing away with the thing to who knows where. Lady Sia sighed and stretched a little before looking around at who was left "Can't say it wasn fun" she commented and offered whatever help she could, grabbing any left over crates and waiting for the others.

Luckily the final push could be made and the insane magician could be defeated without A.I.M.’s continued support. It was quite the scene to watch, but the little robot still had to veer away from all the action in order to keep its chassis in functional order. The fall of the mighty snake beast was closely followed by the defeat of the magical juggernaut, but the machine noticed an error when the being didn’t leave any trophy behind like most would. Instead a chest emerged, but before it could scan the properties of the sketchy looking container it was taken away by one of the red cladded fighters, or Ragna as he was called. A.I.M. couldn’t do much before they both disappeared into some sort of dark magic, but the sage synthetic landed on the spot where they once was.

“Speed was insufficient, upgrade is required” its onboard computer explained as the ROB rip-off missed the two figures. That didn’t overshadow their victory, but it was still a loss to be accounted for. Ragna was probably not the best candidate to hold on to the chest.

Though, Quote came to its side as failure peaked its thoughts. It appreciated the android’s friendliness toward it and even received another handshake. “Assistance is always granted unit Quote” it answered as the robotic boy walked off with a crate of some sort. “Enjoy your day” it continued as it systematically waved goodbye to its ally in arms and no doubt new mechanical friend.

A.I.M. turned back to the few that were still left in the room, one of which being Shadow and the other Lady Sia. Perhaps the others had forgotten, but the mission was still not quite complete. The location of the cure was still unknown, but Aimey was still working off reverses so maybe sending in another team to scope out the factory would be a better course of action. A team more prepared to fight something like ViVi again.

There was little left to do around here, so maybe it was best to return to the Life Sphere to report its findings and let things be for now. It reignited its thrusters and zoomed back out the tunnel it had arrived from. “Transfer of unit Quote and Shadow from foe to friend folder complete” its onboard computer notified A.I.M.

Shadow continued to rest on the cold ground as he saw that the battle has finally surpassed. As he looked around when all the smoke and dust cleared, however, there was no body or trophy stand to be found. He couldn't believe his eyes when the demon sorcerer was unaccounted for. He sneered pounding the ground with his fist. "Dammit! He must have gotten away." He didn't mean to say that out loud, but it looked as if almost everyone had already escaped the cave anyway. He helped himself up grabbing his sides from the pain of the fireball launched at him earlier and hobbled to the center of the cave where the chest was. He saw that the white haired reaper fellow tried to take it with him when he left, but it seemed to have failed, it was as if the treasure chest was bonded to the cave somehow and unable to be taken out. Shadow figured the man must have thought he grabbed the loot and could run off with it just as easy, but the chest had an ancient magic surrounding it, that much Shadow did know when he saw it. He walked around the contraption studying and surveying it trying to find out what makes it tick. All he could really make out was that it protruded a dark aura that was very powerful and could be felt from a distance.

His team members took all the crates already, and he was just too interested in the chest to not inspect it. He didn't want to touch it in fear of disturbing its natural elements or hurting the hedgehog in some way due to a defense mechanism, but he did feel like something needed to be done with it. Thoughts rushed through his mind of what could be inside, good or bad, and each moment he stared at it he felt more entranced by it, he felt more drawn in by its every essence. He walked closer, and closer to it until he was right in front of the lock. He readied his pistol to shoot off the lock, but instead, when he came to his senses and fought against the dark energy luring him in to open the chest, he readied a Chaos Spear instead, the biggest one he could muster using the energy he had left from the fight, and aimed it at the chest trying to find the core of its power, and shot it point black at the treasure chest in attempt to blow it to bits instead of actually opening it and then jutted backwards after the impact to keep a safe distance and observe the damage he has caused. He wasn't sure whether to feel scared or anxious, but he was certainly somewhere in between awaiting the results of his decision.



Though Ragna attempted to take the chest, he failed as it simply bonded itself right back to the cave surface. Whether he knew it or not, it did not matter, for he was gone. The chest continued to lay in its same place, still giving off that strange and eerie glow it was giving off earlier. A hedgehog named Shadow then approached it curious of what its contents was, so it tried to lure him in with its lustful aura, but the will of the hedgehog was too strong, and instead the chest was met with a giant blast of energy at the base of its structure. As the smoke cleared seconds later from the attack, the chest suddenly vanished. No exploded bits on the floor, no nothing, it was simply gone. The hedgehog would find that his efforts were not without some kind of result as a chilly wind encompasses his body and whisks up through his skin and over his head. This wind brought a heavy feeling of justice, duty, and overall accomplishment throughout the hedgehog's body and caused the hedgehog to glow a bright white for a brief moment, then slowly dies down. The cave now appears to be nearly empty, quiet, silent, and meaningless. It was now just an abandoned cave with nothing special of value anymore. All the crates of supplies were taken back by the warriors of the fray, and nothing remained.

Shadow's Affinity has shifted, he now leans more to the side of good, a true protector of the innocent and defender of the Life Sphere, the citizens of the Life Sphere will now be more positively receptive to him. This will allow him to gain praise easier by civilians and inhabitants of the Life Sphere, deals on goods and trade, rumors and news, and heavy appreciation from the Police HQ.

((Shadow ends his presence.

However, the chest magically reappears upon his leave.....))
