Despite what had just occurred, the Worlds made by Koto and Straus were not in a frozen state like them. In fact, from their perspectives, it was just an ordinary day.

Within Lightverse, DarkClaw and Ex conversate at their base about the team's current mission: to collect a priceless group of gems that can help them get the advantage in the fight against their foes:

The Gaia Crystals.

See, Lightverse is home to three distinct sets of jewels that can grant immense power to their wielders. The Gaia Crystals are one, and Uriel's Angel Pearls are another. Since there are quite a few Gaia Crystals, there are always multiple parties trying to go after them; whether for benevolent or nefarious purposes. That being said, let's check in on our heroes.

"Yo, Ex!"

"Ey! What up?"

"How many of those crystals are there again?"

"According to legends? There's seven of 'em."

"Since we have one already, think it'd be a good idea to find the rest of 'em?"

"We can do that together if you want to."

"Nah! You gotta look after the city, buddy. I can't keep ya from that. I'll let Castor do it.", DarkClaw gleefully turns around and calls down the hallway, "AY CASTOR!"

Hearing his maker's call, Castor drowsily leaves his room. "Sir?", he yawns and rubs his eyes as he goes over to DarkClaw.

"I got a mission for ya- Woah. You ok?"

"Mm-hm... why?"

"You look like you didn't sleep at all."

"...What's the mission for today?"

"You sure you're fine-?"

"Yes."

DarkClaw hesitates before continuing, "...Mmmok- well. We need to find more of these crystals. There are seven according to Ex. So, let's see if we can find the others unless that mean ol' 'scientist' has some himself." Thinking fast, he calls upon two others, "AY! INDIGO AND SELENA!"

From another part of the house enters two devils; one is Selena, a tall woman with shoulder-length, fluffy black hair, and eyes like pastel sapphires. She sports wings and horns that curl up and out. Accompanying her is her young daughter, Indigo. She's a small and energetic thing with white hair tied in a messy ponytail, light blue eyes, and little, light blue horns and wings. They had helped Castor in the past with controlling his, sometimes unstable, abilities. Over time they became crucial and reliable members of the team, among a few others we'll meet in due time.

Indigo smiles, waves to her friends, and says, "HALLO!"

DarkClaw waves back, "I need you two to join Castor on his mission today. You both know a bit about the crystals, yes?"

"Yeyeyeye! Mommy knows lots about them!"

"Off you go then!"

And so, the trio get themselves ready and head out; but not before Castor throws on a specially engineered suit that DarkClaw made him for just such an occasion. His "hero suit", as a young friend of theirs calls it. And with that, he assumes his benevolent alter ego, Exisite, and heads out with Selena and Indigo.
