Dialogue[]
Caption: From the silent void of space comes a warning which blasts out of any speaker of screen capable of receiving transmissions.
Caption: - Realm wide alert, ISO-8 radiation has reached critical levels. Isolate and lock down immediately. All are in danger. Knowhere is safe. -
Caption: Knowhere? The Summoner knows how to get Knowhere fast. They traverse the Battlerealm in hopes of finding the origin of this message.
Caption: Arriving at the repurposed Celestial skull, they don't find "safety" but rather an absence of residents… And scenes of destruction.
Caption: The Guardian's HQ has been attacked. Signs of blaster fire, sword slices, and countless blunt impacts litter the landscape.
Caption: A gentle hand on the Summoner's shoulder causes them to spin around in surprise.
Ægon: Did I startle you? Apologies. I assume you also heard the message but it seems we are tragically too late to help…
Caption: Deeper into the base an explosion sounds out, followed by unhinged cackling and another series of small blasts.
Ægon: Or perhaps we are merely not where the action is focused. Follow me, Summoner.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Caption: As they rush towards the calamity, Ægon glances about at the battlefield. Amongst the damage is also an abundance of crystal forms.
Ægon: This ISO is new… And upsetting. Growth like this should be from years of energy, not mere moments. Curious and horrifying.
Caption: The duo round the corner to find another curious and horrifying sight, the Guardians of the Galaxy are not fighting foes, but each other!
Rocket Raccoon: Y'all always laugh at me! But who's laughing now? Huh!? Who is laughing now?!
Drax: We are laughing! Laughing at you and your sad little threats! Hah! Now I'm laughing at the thought of destroying you!
Star-Lord: No one touches the reconstructed-trash-rat until I get a shot at him!
Groot: I am Groot!
Star-Lord: Big talk from a big idiot! If you're looking for a fight then your bark better be better than your bite, you overgrown stick!
Ægon: Who did this? Is there anyone who has enough sense left to explain what's happening?
- Transmission #2
Caption: The Guardians don't appear to hear Ægon, or at the very least they don't care. The violent argument continues.
Rocket Raccoon: You saw them purple flames! You saw the sky-lady on fire and filled with crystals! You know our days are numbered!
Drax: I see only small pests with big weapons. Put down your guns and fight me! Or do you lack the courage and strength?
Caption: Drax is sent flying by a massive blast from Rocket's weapon. The scorched ground reveals more ISO-8 growing beneath the floor panels.
Rocket Raccoon: I ain't afraid! I'm just a big fan of things that go boom! Now get back here so I can finish blastin' whatever is left of ya'!
Caption: Drax and Rocket take off down a corridor. Groot and Star-Lord quickly follow whilst in the middle of their own battle.
Ægon: This is a curious turn of events, a sky-lady on fire? Do you think that's the ISO speaking or perhaps some part of Rocket trying to warn us?
Ægon: We need to see if we can calm them. We need to call in reinforcements. We need-
Mantis: Sleep
Caption: Ægon drops like a sack full of very tired rocks. Mantis has managed to sneak up on the pair and she is moving towards the Summoner.
- Transmission #3
Caption: Mantis is twitching as she walks. Her gaze is distant and her antennae are in constant movement.
Mantis: I feel all their pain. Their hate. Their fear. Screaming and thrashing and loud. So loud loud loud.
Caption: She reaches out for the Summoner but the quick-thinking warrior manages to nimbly dodge out of the way.
Mantis: I have never felt emotions with such focused purpose! It is an ancient, endless, and pure thought. I must restore this realm…
Mantis: I will start by removing you from it.
Caption: Mantis' face is carved into a sickly smile. Her eyes however seem filled with sorrow. The emotions are battling for dominance.
Mantis: I am of two minds. I wish to save my friends. I wish to honor this realm… And its Founders.
Mantis: Rejoice, for all will be made right. Be filled with sorrow, for you shall not witness the glory of what awaits.
Caption: Mantis charges for the Summoner, and they have no choice but to defend themselves from this ISO-infused friend.
