Well, this all happened during Exodus. The failure. Of course, because I want to adapt some of it into a small project, I am just going to continue it with a stronger focus. Of course, I feel bad for dropping off all the characters in the middle (where the failure happened), but I just really would like to complete this arc, based on, I guess (because I have no choice), Blaze's and my characters perceptions.
During all of this fighting, the solving, and the pain... amongst the beginnings of fear...
A sudden flash emitted in the air. The entire world seemed to be encased with the bright light. Screams were heard and shouts of shock and surprise littered the air.
Then it all ceased.
Buildings were quiet, but miraculously repaired. People woke up dazed and tired. Some all out disappeared. Some locations disappeared. Some people were misplaced. Some events never happened.
And that's where it all began...

Irvine blinked, stunned as he looked at the mask, seeing his own face, albeit a face that was two years younger. "How on Carleon did this... It can't be real..." He said, stepping backward.
~~~~~
"... Did everything just taste like Retcon Radishes?" Derrick asked, confused.

"I... yeah..." Taini realized she was outside, her hand clinging to half the necklace. She gripped it and stood onto her feet, feeling absent minded for a moment. As soon as she gathered what was happening, she sighed. "Right, we should probably get going." She mentioned to Derrick. "We have to find Irvine and Ai and see if they are okay."
~~~~~
"It very well is... he looks a lot like you..." Raine appeared behind Irvine as she frowned. "Hard to believe... it. Wonder why he does?" She could not help but ask.

Irvine scowled. 'Why indeed...' He thought, turning to her. "I'm breaking way with you here... I don't much trust you, and I need to be sure my family and friends are safe." He said, walking past. "Or do you plan to stop me?"
~~~~~
"... By Yulia, you're expressing concern for Ai!?" Derrick exclaimed. "That's insane!" He spoke.

"I have no intention of stopping you," Raine replied. "Do as you wish." Turning her back to him, she merely made her way out of the hall, her eyes glanced downward at her palms as if she were counting...
One... two... three...four... I lost a couple. Where could they have gone? She thought as she shook her head. They must have been relocated. Don't know how that happened.
~~~~~
"Maybe it's the pregnancy," Taini replied as she shifted her eyes away. "...Whatever, I don't care! She's a moron. Let's just go. We have to get the other artifacts, right? We only have two of them, after all."

"Well, another is in your father's hands, so I don't think we need to worry about that one... But... Do you think we should seek the others out, or perhaps we should just hide them for now?"
~~~~~
"... I will. Just as always." Irvine said, unsealing his wings and flying out, tired from the battle. 'I don't trust her... At all.' He thought to himself.

Taini gazed at Derrick for a moment before walking a head. "...We should seek them out. I don't want them coming to me. I gotta take the initiative." She announced before unsealing her wings and taking flight.

"But... Who even knows about the ones we have?" Derrick asked. "We could easily say we sold them to a merchant... Or sell them to a merchant." He said. "Lemme just..." He took one and threw it in his bag, then looked. "Damn, never mind... Lousy key items pocket..."

"Going on ahead! Save it for later Derrick!" Taini called while waving, throwing a text to Irvine. How is it holding up? Everything has changed... I don't know how or why, but it has. She then pocketed her phone, leaving Derrick behind, as usual. Because that is just how preggy ladies are.

A response came swiftly and without notice. 'Haven't noticed. Where are you. Do you know where Ai is? What is the Matrix, Neo?' The text said.
"I'm coming along too, okay?" Derrick said, hopping onto the Rheiard.

"Derrick, you're only going to... oh forget it." Taini sighed as she received the text. Gotta be a good Taini, blah blah blah. Why can't he be pregnant!? I'm sure Mom could pull it off! Reading it, she texted back, unsure. No, not since she was with... oh who were they...? She entered, not at all having any memories of their comrades.
We should find her any who. I have news about the artifacts.

There was no response for several minutes, and then a single word response from Irvine for whatever reason: 'Location?' Was all it said, as if he were that short on words.

Taini, a little disgruntled, replied. Back to Altamira. She then flipped her phone closed and sailed on, feeling sickened time and time again along the way.

Derrick flew alongside her, blinking. "So... What do you suppose is going to happen?" He asked her.
~~~~~
"... Altamira... Right." Irvine said, unsealing his wings and flying full speed for the city. "... I just wish I could figure out what that woman is planning... Dammit..."

"What do you mean? Like a what-if situation as to what would happen if all the artifacts are obtained? I am not sure about that one... I just hope it would benefit the world. Right..." Taini sighed as her tail fell limp.
~~~~~
"Guys? Hellooooo! Thom!? NITTA!?" Ai called out with her hands cuffed around her lips. "WHERE IS EVERYONE!?"
Of course, no one would be around in a white void.
"Dammit... How do I get out of here?" Ai asked, trying not to panic. No matter where she turned, it was white. Bright enough to blind you if you stare directly at it. "Detective Geek! Taini! ...Irvine..." She sighed as she threw up her arms.

"... One can only hope..." Derrick said. "But still... Something about them... Just feels of a grim destiny." He said. "Something Sinister..." He sighed. "I just hope I'm wrong about this." He said, closing his eyes. "How are you feeling though? You've acted very strangely as of late."

"Strangely...?" Taini asked as she turned to him and began to tread backwards, having gotten used to the feeling of flying by now. "What do you mean? I'm fine... just sick from time to time." She mumbled. "And that whole possession ordeal... Haven't really thought about that til now. But I am fine otherwise. It could be because I am incredibly exhausted."

"Yeah... I'm exhausted too... I would much rather we... You know... Just head home and rest... I am just tired of all of this." Derrick said. "I want to raise this child normally... Not fight any more... Not now." He said as they approached Altamira.

"We will. We have to push on though. The elder gave us the artifact for a reason. I won't let them have it." Taini seethed as she looked to Derrick. "Maybe we can get by with a little inactivity, but still..." She then found Altamira over the horizon. "There we are... We need to at least talk to Irvine about the artifacts and our next plan."

"... I just hope it isn't anything too dangerous." Derrick said as they landed in front of the Lazareno building in Altamira, waiting for Irvine's arrival, which, thankfully, they did not have to wait long for.
"You're here already then?" He asked, landing and sealing his wings.
