Otaku City: New World Rising (Destiny Ark)

Change

Hisoka pulls into the hotels car park, he then turns his head over to the backseats of the car. "Are you sure you're okay Ely?" He asked. Ely looked town towards the floor of the car "Yeah" she replied "I just felt a bit sick. Maybe it was the hotdog? Hehe". Hisoka could tell that something was wrong, but ultimately decided to shrug it off. Ely starts remembering what had happened to her earlier that day.

{The Dreamscape}
Ely is shocked, standing right in front of Taiyou and Rin, two who she had thought were dead. "Taiyou..." Ely uttered "You are Taiyou right?". Taiyou smiled "The one and only" he replies. Ely falls down in the confusion of the moment, Taiyou manages to catch her and sit her down. Ely then realises that there is a chair underneath her now "How...", "The Dreamscape can materialise our thoughts however we see fit" Taiyou said. Ely looks up to Taiyou "How are you alive?" she asks. Taiyou steps back "I'm not quite sure myself" he says "I seem to have found myself here after my last dosage of the Crystalis Drug. I've been watching what you've been doing through your eyes". Ely looks up at Taiyou in confusion "Well... I guess my eyes" Taiyou says jokingly "I also sometimes take control of you subconsciously". Ely realises that this was the cause of her behavioural changes. Taiyou then begins to start glitching "I don't have much time left" he mutters "Talk to you later". The fog starts to roll in and everything around Taiyou begins to disappear. "WAIT! TAIYOU!" Ely screams "TAIYOU!!!".

{Hotel Room, San Francisco}
"Hello everyone!" Hisoka says while barging into the room holding his trophy "Yes yes, no need to congratulate me. I see that there is no stone on this trophy so I'm guessing your mission was a succe...". Hisoka pauses and analyses the room, he notices the looks on Steph's and Narumi's faces. "Where's Dylan" Jessie asked. Upon hearing this, Steph begins tearing up and turns to bury her face in her hands. The 4 of them look over to the couch to see Dylan, violently twitching and coughing. "Dylan!" Hisoka shouted while crouching down towards him "what happened?". "The mission was a failure" Narumi explained "Dragon managed to get to the stone first and gave Dylan Cyanide poisoning. The only way we could save him was by giving him the Crystalis drug in hopes that it would help his body adapt to the poison". Ely then walks over and places her hand on Dylan's head. "How long has be been like this?" Ely asked, "Half an hour" Narumi replies "why?". Ely then turns in to a position where nobody could see her "Taiyou..." she whispers to herself while closing her eyes "Help me...". Ely then opens her eyes, realising what she has to do. She walks over to Dylan's body and places two of her fingers on Dylan's neck "He's dying" she claims. Everybody is shocked to hear this, from Ely of all people. "How do you know" Glen asked, "His heart rate is increasing" Ely replies "Which implies that his body is trying its best to flush out the poison. The Crystalis Drug you injected him with isn't helping him, the chemicals are unaware of what to do in order to save the body. We need to inject him with more Cyanide in order for the Crystalis to understand how to adapt to the bodies current condition". Everyone is still confused. This was Ely, the girl who was extremely afraid of everything and barely knew anything about going to a beach, now understanding how the Crystalis drug and Cyanide poison works. Steph quickly stands up "How are we going to get more Cyanide?" She asks, "Hisoka" Ely said "Get me a bottle of sprite, a spoon of salt and four apples". Hisoka quickly responds by running into the snack bar in the kitchen and fetching the items that Ely asked for. Ely cuts the apples and removes the seeds and slicing it into a powder like substance. She then mixed the salt and sprite together with the powder and put the substance inside the empty syringe that originally contained the Crystalis Drug. "What is that?" Narumi asked, "Apple seeds contain Cyanide" Ely replies "Eating 20 apple cores are enough to lethally poison someone. I just streamlined that with sodium and carbon to create a simple Cyanide poison. That added to the residue Crystalis Drug in the syringe has created a cure for Dylan's poisoning" Ely turns to Hisoka and Jessie "I'll need you two to restrain him. Just in case". Hisoka and Jessie nod and both grab one of a Dylan's arms. Ely carefully injects the drug into Dylan's arm, "What's going to happen if this fails?" Steph asks, "If this fails..." Ely says "Dylan could suffer from severe brain damage". "AAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH" Dylan gives off a blood curdling scream that echoes throughout the entire room. Crystal like streams start flowing through his arm and then through this entire body. In a matter of minutes, Dylan finally calms down and falls unconscious. Ely pulls out a bottle of water and drops some onto Dylan's arm, his skin begins to irritate, then burn. "Dylan has finally become a witch." Ely says "There's no telling what powers he'll have". Suddenly, Ely began to feel light headed again and fell unconscious as well. Narumi manages to catch her in time. "What the hell..." Narumi said to herself "the way she spoke... it was almost like...", "Taiyou..." Hisoka finished. The rest of them watch as Steph picked Dylan up on her shoulders and struggled to carry him towards the bedroom and lock the door.

{The Dreamscape}
Ely wakes up to find herself sitting in a room with two chairs. She begins analysing the room, it wasn't the same as before, but this was still definite the dreamscape, she could feel it. "Well that was really something", Ely turns around to see Taiyou sitting on the other chair "You pulled off a dangerous stunt today. Swapping me in right after exiting the Dreamscape. That uses up a lot of energy". Ely looks down "Dylan was dying" she said "If you didn't take over, he would have died". "Of course" Taiyou replied "Which is why I swapped in. But... you'll be unconscious for quite a while as a recoil". Ely notices this information and keeps it in mind "That's fine" she replies "Do you have any idea what kind of powers Dylan might have?". Taiyou looks away "Beats me" he said "Still, you'll have to stay prepared for anything". Ely stands up, but immediately trips over. Taiyou manages to catch her in time "You're going to leave soon" he said "Take some rest. Only swap me in if you really need to". Ely tries to reply, but ultimate blanks out.

{Later that night}
Dylan woke up and was explained by the rest of the group what had happened. He had written all of these notes within his note book. It was finally time to leave San Francisco. Narumi and Hisoka was helping lift everything into the car while Steph was looking after the sleeping Ely inside. Jessie watches them all do this "I kind of missed this" she said "This awkward adventures and constant rush to do everything". Dylan smiles "It's not too late" Dylan said "You can still come back, we'll need all the help we can get if we want to take down Wakusei". Jessie stays silent for a while, then looks to Dylan "I felt terrified when Taiyou went missing. I didn't want something like that to happen to the people I loved, which was ultimately why I decided to run away with Glen and her family. The fact that Taiyou is somewhat back in the form of Ely is great and all, but I still don't think I can live with that life anymore". Dylan looks down and gives a light laugh "Yeah I get it" He replies "Aoi never released your information, so your practically free to do as you please. There's no reason that we should endanger you anymore". Dylan turns to Jessie and holds his hand out "It was nice seeing you again... No.1 Bass Guitarist". Jessie looks down at his hand and knocks it away, she then leans in and hugs him "Don't worry" she said "I'll still always be Shindame". Dylan smiles and walks over to the car "Oh yeah, I left a little present for you on your ShivaNano" he said "Have fun". Jessie is confused by this and opens her ShivaNano menu to realises that two items were now inside it, two items that she definitely knew the uses of. She materialises the one called {Hecate} for her old sniper rifle to appear before her very hands. The other was a mysterious item labeled as {Party} she presses it to reveal a rainbow coloured bullet. Jessie loads the bullet into the rifle and fires it into the night sky. Suddenly, a blast of fireworks paints the San Francisco sky. A message pops up on Jessie's screen {Thank you, from the Ryusei group}. She looks over to Dylan who was sitting in the front seat of the car, he gives her a wave of his two fingers and signals Steph to teleport the car. Their next destination was Melbourne Australia and this time, they were ready to end this once and for all. Glen runs up to Jessie "Jesus, Did you see the fireworks. They just came out of nowhe...". Glen then realised that Jessie was holding her old rifle. Jessie begins panicking thinking, thinking that she made Glen mad for using it again. But instead, Glen just walks up to her and kisses her on the lips. "This is the best honeymoon ever" Glen says, Jessie smiles and begins to slightly tear up as well "Yeah..." she replied "it sure is".
