Volume 4: Chapter 9

  The Lemurian Belt

  The Century Corps have become stowaways on Yuteyh's personal barge, they're in close proximity to the Third Portal Battery

  Kelpie: How do we get this back to a secure location?

  Demeui: That plan is a Work in progress

  Elghene: We just gotta keep our eyes on it

  Neve: Easy for you to say

  Kiqi: We simply must follow the cult to the next destination

  Iaray: It might be a long path

  Elghene: Then we must stay strong

  Hyuken: I've got a few choice words for The Century Corps administration if they survive

  Neve: You can save your breath, I will resign after the Adamite Key is taken care of

  Thechr: Where was this attitude before?

  Neve: Things have changed

  Elghene: Well Neve, your decisions are yours to make, even if they are the wrong ones

  Neve: There is no wrong or right objectively speaking, only what we chose

  Thechr: I believe this has ran its course

  A silence takes over for an ever so brief second before a cannonball strikes the ship causing it to shake

  Hyuken: What the hell was that?

  Elghene: I see a malestorm of enemies

  The Century Corps runs onto the ship's main deck

  Kieghan (Over Megaphone): Cult of Sheyane, we have sensed you are in possesion of Two Batteries that power the portal to the Garden of Eden. We, The Sinners Sextant will take them off your hands

  Yuteyh (Over Megaphone): We need The Adamite Key to ressurect our god, so we will not give it up to you

  Another megaphone buzzing is heard

  Aoenen (Over Megaphone): The Cult of Sheyane tried to kill me and destroy The Great Pionin's Truth, make sure to kill every last one of them

  Neve: No no no he has to get out of here

  Odio sees The Century Corps on the deck

  Odio: Hey you guys were here the entire time?

  Demeui: Yeah?

  Yuteyh: This must be good for your Century Corps, I assume your goal is to see our organization destroyed?

  Thechr: Our mission is to destroy The Adamite Key so it cannot be used, you just stood in opposition to us

  Odio: You technically attacked us first but oh well who cares

  Yuteyh: Our goal is to destroy anyone who dare opposes our god, which includes you

  Odio: Yeah

  Iaray: Well still, can't we reach a deal of convience

  Yuteyh: No, I will execute you myself

  As Yuteyh moves to attack Iaray, Odio fires an arrow volley at Yuteyh

  Yuteyh: You dare betray me!!

  Odio: My loyalty never really lied with you

  Woelyn: Yeah, pretty cool how we were able to pull this off

  Woelyn: Oh what the hell was that?

  A group of Sinners Sextant agents assault the barge

  Ayev: Hello Captain

  Kieghan: We are here to take the portal batteries back to Palestine to join the first

  Woelyn: Lucky for us, the Fourth Portal Battery isn't here, it's back in a place called The Coral Chamber

  Elghene: Good to know

  Kieghan: Well I'll just take the one that is here

  Kieghan moves to impale Neve but suddenly another party jumps down and takes the hit

  Aoenen: You guys didn't really think I was worth a damn did you

  Aoenen coughs some blood before attacking Kieghan again

  Neve: What are you doing, you idiot

  Aoenen: Put away your concern, I'll be fine

  Woelyn: I've got this

  Woelyn fires a volley of arrows at the assailants, one lodges itself in Aoenen's shoulder

  Neve: WHAT ARE YOU DOING

  Woelyn: Defending the ship

  Aoenen: You're a member of the cult aren't YOU

  Woelyn: Name is Odio

  Aoenen: I'll take you apart

  Aoenen moves to attack Woelyn but Kiqi intercepts and impales Aoenen through the chest

  Aoenen: YOU INGRATE

  Kiqi: This fate serves you right

  Hyuken: Kiqi maybe you should calm down

  Aoenen: I, the pureborn will always be superior to you

  Hyuken: Nevermind you have permission to kill him

  Kiqi takes his arms out of Aoenen as Kieghan knocks him off deck

  Demeui: Well Kiqi just killed her evil boyfriend, I'm not surprised she's pissed

  Kieghan: Wait why would one of your own do that?

  Kiqi: I'm not sure myself why I killed him, I could have just stunned him

  Hyuken: Well killing him was the right choice, he was a bad man

  Neve: Shut up

  Kieghan: Now she wants to talk

  Neve: SHUT UP

  Resume

  Neve: I'm going to…tear you apart

  Ayev gets away as The Century Corps surround Neve

  Demeui: Neve, stop this

  Neve: No

  Neve begins using her poison power to create poisonous acid that begins to erode Kieghan.

  Thechr: That's enough!

  Thechr grabs Neve but she shakes them off as she melts Kieghan into a puddle of flesh and rage

  Demeui: What have you done?

  Neve: What needs to be

  Iaray: I can't believe the act os savagrey I just witnesed

  Elghene: Our violence is part of our nature, it simply can't be helped

  Kiqi: Maybe…this is why they say never neet your heroes

  A brief silence takes hold before it as shattered just as quickly.

  Thechr: Woelyn…what is the gameplan

  Woelyn: Well I'm by default leader of The Cult of Sheyane, so I will lead us to the Coral Chamber and we'll go from there

  Thechr: Lead the way then

  And so, Woelyn took command of The Cult's forces and began the journey to The Coral Chamber
