"Soft bed, oh, that feels f*cking great" Yami moans, closing her eyes

"Glad you're back" Alayna smiles

"I'm glad you're back too" Yami yawns

"You're sure you're not hungry?" Alayna asks

"Yeah, I'm good" Yami answers

"Where's our next lead we should go to?" Alayna asks, sitting in a chair

"Not sure, I want some sleep first" Yami groans

"I know some important places that Ultimas took over, important places that could use some help, I've been looking into it when the invasion first started, now that Goliath's back and Hex's in charge, the planet should be safe

"Keep talking" Yami looks over at Alayna

"I can think of 4 other places, at least, the first one, Forbidden Loop, the place is filled with powerful people, that's why Ultimas took it over, to name a few, Juul, Selina, Kalis, Locke, and the place has these machines, they represent 3 gods, Hades, Posiden, and Athena" Alayna gives a brief summary

"I thought you'd say Zeus" Yami laughs a bit

"Actually, Zeus used to be one, but he was proclaimed for heresy and banished to another planet, one Ultimas hasn't been to yet" Alayna explains

"So, these god-bots, are they huge or humans?" Yami asks

"They're not humans, but yeah, they're that size, the planet has been split by the three gods, Atlantis, Wisdoria, and Ignioro, I think you can guess who went where" Alayna nods

"...Posiden, Athena, Hades...what about the other people you mentioned?" Yami asks

"Yeah, there's a problem with them" Alayna starts

"There always is, spill it" Yami sits up

"The only one willing to go against Ultimas is Juul, but here's the problem, the place is an extremely interesting place, it's in its name, loop, every 24 hours, the day loops, making many people think it's the same day, almost everything turns back to normal" Alayna sighs

"How the hell did they even do that?" Yami asks

"Thanks to my sister, well...half-sister" Alayna explains

"You have a sister?" Yami questions

"Yeah, two, you've met one of them, but my sister over on the planet is Selina" Alayna takes a shot

"I met-nevermind, I've got so many questions" Yami shakes her head

"I'm open to them all, I'll try to answer them" Alayna comforts

"You emphasized a lot on 'almost', what doesn't reset?" Yami asks

"Juul managed to find a way to keep his memories, but so has Selina, Juul's trying to kill all the other Overseers, breaking the loop over there, but he's only got one day to kill 9 people, it's kinda hard" Alayna explains

"Why should he break the loop?" Yami asks

"So people can have a free life" Alayna answers

"Where did Zeus crawl off to?" Yami asks

"I think the planet was something called "Gates" or something like that" Alayna answers

"Okay...yeah, that could work, if we went there then we'd go to Gates and find Zeus, hopefully he'll help us and then we could recruit Forbidden Loops bots and Overseers, and Juul" Yami plans out

"Yeah, that's an idea" Alayna points at her

"But?" Yami looks confused

"There's multiple problems, still" Alayna answers

"Yeah, you're right, but maybe Zeus can help us out" Yami explains

"He's an outcast, I don't think that he'd be that willing...unless-" Alayna starts

"-Unless we align our goals, Zeus gets revenge and we get help" Yami explains

"Exactly, there's a few ways we can do this, we can stop the loop, get Juul and Zeus on our side, or we can convince Zeus and Juul to stop the loop, maybe I can convince Selina to help us out...but there's still so many problems, Forbidden Loop'll take a little while to plan out" Alayna shakes her head

"Alright.....I've got a suggestion?" Yami hesitates

Alayna signals Yami

"So...is there a poster anywhere?" Yami asks, searching

"This should work better" Alayna makes a chalkboard appear

"You're right" Yami puts chalk in her hand

"Here's my plan, first, we go find Zeus, after we recruit Zeus however we can, we go to Juul, talk to Juul for a bit, let his day loop or something, maybe meet up with Selina, then we'd meet up with Athena, Posiden, and Hades, not in one day, but we'll improvise as we go, then we'll try our luck with getting the overseers on our side, maybe even convincing Juul to keep the loop going for a bit, but I've got a question, does the Loop reset the day even if the Overseers aren't there?" Yami asks

"It resets the planet...and only the planet, and then we can send them all here, let them get to know everyone better, but we'd still need to have a plan B, I don't think that Hades and Posiden would submit to Zeus so easily, but maybe we could convince Athena, she'd be the easiest one...but also the hardest, if we-WHEN we get her on our side, we can get her help to convince Hades and Posiden" Alayna puts the pieces together

"YES, EXACTLY" Yami yells

"...I think we've got at least one plan" Alayna smiles
