"I don't think I've been here before..." Josiah commented as he and Virgo slid of Midnight Wing. Returning the large bird to its card, he surveyed the area. Tall grass covered the valley, making the crumbling gray stone remains that littered the lanscape stand out. Jagged mountain peaks surrounded the entire valley, cutting it off from the rest of the world.

"Really?" Virgo feined surprise. "And here I thought you were the expert on everything in this world."

"Well you have to admit this place is pretty out of the way and in the middle of some pretty steep mountains. Seems like an odd place for all these ruins though. Maybe they were originally supposed to be part of an optional dungeon or something that never got finished."

"Are you sure this is the right place?"

"Yep. Some people I know who fly over these mountains a lot mentioned seeing something strange up here. Probably just a rare type of monster but I figured it wouldn't hurt to check it out, just to be safe."

"Like you ever need an excuse to explore new areas." she smiled. "Ok, let's look around."

Not far from here, a familiar tiger-patterned anthropomorphic lady was phased in the ground and seemed quite angry.

"Can't have a vacation without people bothering me...at least those guys learned after the first few fireballs. But...but...oooooh! A main character! I'm so going to have fun!"

A sound of broken glass emanated from Josiah, neither him nor his companion can tell what happened exactly.

A voice resonated in both of their heads.

"So you are Josiah and Virgo Lebowitz, right?"

Sally's chuckle could be heard from all around them, not being from a single source but coming from the area itself.

"You want to know who I am but you don't even know what I am...where would be the fun in simply telling you? In any case...you're mine now, you can't escape."

Their amulets turning to a fine powdery dust seemed to back this last statement.

(Gonna try first-person posts now)
"Awww you reformed your little amulet, that's not fair." I was rather annoyed at this small turn of event, but it was true I only destroyed their necklaces...I did nothing to prevent him from remaking then, oh well if it makes him happy...

"But in any case, teasing me isn't such a good idea." I chuckled, really he didn't know what he was against and it delighted me. Barely using a shard of my power to create immense fireballs in the air, all spread out over the area, I shouted "Overlord's Wrath!" before sending them all crashing at the duo.

((A little odd considering that I'm doing third person but whatever.))

Josiah and Virgo immediately took to the air, easily evading the fireballs. "Tch, fine. If you're not going to come out we'll make you come out. But don't say I didn't warn you."

"Shadows of Heaven!" Virgo held her arms up towards the sky as large beams of light began to rain down across the entire valley.

Meanwhile, the air around Josiah suddenly filled with hundreds of light infused swords. "Sword Trick!" he yelled as they too began to rain down on the ground below.

I appeared behind the duo while they were busy attacking what was already devoid of life, chuckling at how weak those beams and swords didn't even get close to harming me.

"Peashooters...seems like I'll have to kill you slowly then."

With only a wave of my hand the temperature of the whole valley began to drop dramatically, ice crystals forming everywhere as I grinned with my arms crossed over my chest. Despite the freezing cold I'm not harmed in the slightest...being immortal does have it's advantage.

"Zero Kelvin, I hope the stay isn't comfortable for you light ones.

(0 Kelvin=-273,15 Celsius, in other words absolute zero)

"So there you are." Josiah and Virgo turned, getting their first look at their attacker. "And I'm afraid your information is still flawed." The tempreature began to rise once again, quickly returning to its initial state. "A little cold isn't going to bother us."

"Heavenly Spear!" Virgo attacked.

Josiah followed immediately, coming from a different angle. "Perfect Mirror Slice!"

"Ugh..." Josiah certainly hadn't been expecting her to grab a blade. Was her skin that hard or did she just not care? "So you're fast." he replied, quickly recovering from the attack. "So am I. Speed of Light! And," he held up a card, "Supreme Haste!"
((Speed of Light: Majorly boosts the party's (Josiah and Virgo's) speed.))

Meanwhile, responding to a silent message from Josiah, Virgo raised her hands and fired the legendary Mecha Overdrive attack the stranger's back.

"Virgo, return!" Josiah pulled out her card as the creature began its attack. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite fast enough. But, as Virgo's body slumped and returned to the card, he could hear her voice echoing faintly in his mind, the card greatly strengthening their normal connection.

"Don't listen to her. I'm fine. But I don't think I can wake up until she's been defeated." The voice was fading rapidly. "I can't maintain the link... Sorry, see you soon..."

As Virgo's voice faded away entirely, Josiah glared at the strange girl. "I don't know who you are, why you're here, who why you seem to be doing your best to make me angry. I know you're lying but regardless, you're really starting to get on my nerves so I'm gonna end this quickly." He held up all his monster cards and there was a brilliant flash of light. When the light faded, Josiah had transformed in Ultima Rainbow. With the transformation complete, he immediately activated his Syphon Touch spell card. "Ok, let's do this."
