Part 5

Update 05:


First it's time to see what's up in the battleground.


It is surely Argilla's fault.

"Take this with you, sir."




Useful!

Damn you, Argilla! Finish your sentences!




"No specific information is known, but it is often considered to be a true paradise. We must strive to reach it. That is the law.

Each Tribe can be identified by hteir color. Our color as the Embryon is Orange.
If the leader is defeated, his Tribe must follow the victor. That is the law."





It is a mystery. As mysterious as why the Embryon has an inordinate amount of VERY strong members, even if it is the smallest Tribe. Hm.
Maybe those could be connected? Naaah.


"It... It's in my head! I can hear it!"
And this one's gone nuts.






Back to the base.

"Our leader is truly strong. The Vanguards fell to only three members of the Embryon."
Damn right. Having awesome skills also helps.


What waited for them there. (viddler)
A song. (youtube)




Argilla's refusal to consume her foes has resulted in her losing her strength. She is now a burden for Serph. Unfortunately.


Oh no! A strong demon appeared!



Strong and agile. Cielo is having a hard time.



Oh no! Cielo is going to need more than just rations!


Well, not really. Heat defends his fellow tribesman!



Wait what, since when is Gale a Silent Hill Closer monster?




And then...


The song.
It soothes Argilla.





It... Calmed Gale down.



A song. She sings songs.





She is unique.




And amnesiac. Typical.



"We know nothing about you.
You say that you remember nothing. Why, then, would you help us?"



I love that line.

"I am sorry."





How could she have heard that song somewhere?



And these two?


Oh Gale, why are you so funny?





She wants to go back to not being able to transform, you see.
She does not want to eat someone else.


Heat continues to be an asshole.



Yup.



He had to speak, didn't he?
INCOMMING TRANSMISSION!



Aww, his curiosity won't be quenched.




Or does she?
She is clearly important. What, with having hair of a unique color and whatnot.
And coming from a weird egg that caused the appearance of Atma.




Convenient!



"It may shed light on who Sera is, or what is going on."




Yes. Is that important?


"Heat is far harsher than before. I wonder how different I seem to him...
Haven't I always talked like this?"




Shut up. Only Gale gets to say that.


ATMA.



"They do manage the entire Junkyard.
They'd better not tell us that they don't know anything!"





Hah.



The very center, eh? Must be important.



"The rating is based on efficient actions during battle. During a battle, the Temple keeps track of how many turns pass. The fewer turns a battle lasts, the more macca is added to your Tag Ring. Kill enemies as swiftly as possible."





So, it will be hard to miss it.

Next: The Karma Temple.
