✦ [He snaps his finger at you.]
✦ ???: Up here, creature.
✦ ???: You are looking at nothing less but the greatest Lucky DX. Tine. That'll be 'Lord Tine' to you, however.
✦ Tine: Only my comrades call me Lucky, and you are far from a comrade of mine.

✦ Tine: You are a disgrace and a holdback to this kind.

✦ Slithe: Airi! Come forth! This is your end! YOUR TRUE DESTINY!
✦ Slithe: YOUR FATE HAS COME!

✦ [Your will seems to be taking over in this fight... You feel so connected to Slithe.]

✦ [For what?]

✦ [It feels like this world is falling apart...]

✦ [Over time, Slithe seems to get weaker in battle, confused to why she can't beat you, eventually coming to tears of blood.]

✦ [You can almost see a different form of Slithe within her.]
✦ [It's what she was supposed to be.. Synthia.]

✦ Slithe: I'm so sorry..
✦ Slithe: I'm sorry for not being good enough for anyone.

✦ [Your same old hometown, except, all of your friends are here!]

146 | Our Town [Full]

✦ Berry Nyarin
✦ Age: 33
✦ Height: 5'0 [152 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: The 'Medi Recvn' - Makes Berry able to heal and/or fully restore any living creature she pleases. Not to mention her B4C form, which has multiple other assets as well. 
✦ Berry has a very diverse personality. She can be sentimental and caring at times, to being completely outgoing and loud. If she gets upset enough, she can lose her mind. Luckily, we haven't seen that, yet...? Let's keep it that way. She has a hobby of playing electric guitar and gardening.

✦ Likes to say 'Nyah'.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✦ Big thanks to the homie @sushimaster1221 for the guitar solo!

✦ Sketches by @avonae

150 | Berry [Chr.] (ft. James Wasserman)

✦ Michii Nyarin
✦ Age: 35
✦ Height: 5'2 [157 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: 'Recvn Ignition' - Allows Michii to use fire in any form or way. She has a radius of 750 ft. and her fire breath has a radius of 300 ft. She can also heat up her paws to 540 F. [282 C]
✦ Michii [Pronounced My-Chai] seems to only know one emotion in most circumstances - anger. She acts like this for various reasons due to her past. Although she does have a soft spot for her sister, Berry. Closer to the end of the story, she opens up and behaves with a kinder attitude.

151 | Michii [Chr.]

✦ Ara Zomenai
✦ Age: 284
✦ Height: 5'9 [175 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: 'Recvn Toxi-Tox' - With her Recvn Power, Ara is able to use acid in any form - liquid, solid and gas. It's a stable Recvn Ability that has massive amounts of power behind it, but Ara only has half a brain, weakening her power. 
✦ Ara [Pronounced Ay-rah] is an interesting character. For one, she's planet Xitrater's third strongest being, right below her close friends, Slithe/Synthia and Tine. She's this strong and doesn't even have a whole brain. Although with having such a limited space for thoughts and choices, Ara seems to pull through most difficult situations. She likes to consider drinking a 'hobby'. 99% of the time you see her, she'll probably be intoxicated. [Being drunk surprisingly makes her Recvn Power stronger.]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

152 | Ara [Chr.] (ft. James Wasserman)

✦ Mitchie Lurkamore
✦ Age: 1,712
✦ Height: 7'11 [241 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: 'Mage Ai' - This Recvn gives Mitchie the ability to learn and create spells as she wishes, along with destroying spells.
'Oyasumi Ai' - This Recvn puts anyone Mitchie wishes to sleep, and she may enter their dream and do whatever she wants. Although, her other two Recvns don't work in dreams. Assaulting someone to fatality in their dream kills them as soon as they wake up.
'Luna Ai' - As simple as it is, this Recvn has a radius of 100 ft, and anyone in that radius is effected by it. Luna Ai can make the the area around you zero gravity, it can also reverse gravity as well.
✦ Mitchie is known to be rather unapproachable. She's also known to be greatly powerful. Queen Slithe originally wanted her to be the 3rd in command below her, but Mitchie refused. You couldn't necessarily call Mitchie a good role model either, for various obvious reasons, but she's actually a teacher to two people who want to be just like her when they grow up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✦ Jooru Jaara
✦ Age: 56
✦ Height: 4'8 [146 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: None, but is learning spells and magic from Mitchie.
✦ Jooru is a loud little being, yet incredibly shy. He's also a Fennecarian (A sub-species of people on Xitrater consisting of fox-like people). He seems to always think he's correct on almost all occasions, unless Mitchie is yelling at him. Most times we see Jooru, he's with his friend Kitsy, yet they're always fighting or arguing for dumb reasons. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✦ Kitsy Kais
✦ Age: 74
✦ Height: 2'10 [146 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: None, but is learning spells and magic from Mitchie.
✦ Kitsy, just like her friend Jooru, is also a loud (even smaller) person. Although, she's not very shy. She thinks she's better than Jooru in every way and likes to rub it in his face, finding it humorous. Mitchie finds this funny, too. Mostly because Kitsy is rather weak. Kitsy is a Kitarian (A sub-species of people on Xitrater consisting of cat-like people).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

154 | Mitchie + Jooru & Kitsy [Chr.]

✦ Squishy Soraciel
✦ Age: 49
✦ Height: 4'9 [144 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: 'Jellie Ai' - Makes her entire physical form liquid, she can solidify it to be normal, or turn completely liquid. This tends to help her get through tight spaces, and it's a big plus to defense. If she turns fully liquid, any attacks can slip right through her. Her weak spot is her head.
✦ Squishy is a rather happy person, she could almost be a mirror of Airi's personality. Although her sisters don't like it a whole lot, Squishy tends to never take anything seriously, constantly goofing off and being a nuisance. The only time she could take a situation seriously is if her friends and/or her sisters were in danger.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✦ Scarlett Soraciel
✦ Age: 49
✦ Height: 6'2 [187 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: 'Yudo Ai' - With Scarlett's Recvn, she fills the air near an enemy full of toxic gases that slowly damage them over time. It's more lethal if she touches you directly, this causes rashes to form on your body, eventually becoming unbearable. 
(Additional) The item she smokes is infused with magic, which increases her power and resistance. She's also one of the smartest people on Xitrater.
✦ There's not much to Scarlett - She's a very quiet person. She's very animated with the way she acts. If she becomes fixated on something, she likes to over-analyze it, in an odd, creepy manner.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✦ Rocky Soraciel
✦ Age: 49
✦ Height: 5'11 [180 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: 'Unbreakable Diamond Ai' - Derived from her name, this is a perfect ability for Rocky. With her abilities, she can solidify her entire body to be stronger than a diamond. This means almost any physical attack has no effect on her. This power also gives her the ability to grow any two of her limbs to 10x the original size, solidifying them as well. This can pack a pretty powerful punch!
✦ Just like another person we met earlier in the story, Rocky has some serious anger issues. She's constantly in denial of it as well. Anger isn't her only character trait however. She cares a lot for her sisters, obviously. You could say her anger derives from that a bit - from how careless her sisters act. Rocky has a side hobby of boxing. Believe it or not, she likes calming down over a cup of tea while watching her favorite show 'Cats in Misumi Bay'.

155 | Snow Queens [Chr.]

✦ Maxum Lurkamore
✦ Age: 259
✦ Height: 6'1 [185 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: 'Recvn Metarurufu' - Maxum has the ability to grow metal on his body, in any shape or form. It has a range of about 10 meters, but his steel is near unbreakable.
✦ Maxum has an interesting personality. He seems brave (in which he is, usually.) yet he can be awfully weak at times, seeming afraid of things. He's possessive of things that are his, he doesn't take insults too well either. Never insult his tail. Maxum is one of the many members of the Itancian Mafia Family (I.T.F). He's the leader's right hand man, right across from special ops agent 'Assassin B4C'.
✦ History: Maxum has a rough history. His mom disappeared when he was just a kid, for unknown reasons. [According to him.] He is still in contact with his mother, however she feels that it's best she stays away from him and the I.T.F. 

Maxum has never met his father.
Nobody talks about him.
Everything that was ever mentioned of him,
Anything that was shown of him,
Things that he constructed,
Everything has
Disappeared.

156 | Maxum [Chr.]

✦ Antonio Jack / Silver Killer / Mr. Silver [SK]
✦ Age: 1,705
✦ Height: 8'5 [256 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: 'Recvn Drago Ai' - This Recvn power gives SK the ability to turn into a dragon of many elements. He can control three main elements the strongest, the rest are his downside. The main three are wind, lightning and ice. After using his power, he is weakened greatly for about an hour.
✦ SK is known to be an overall nice guy. Everyone knows to treat him with respect because of his status, which is being the founder of the Itancian Mafia. Not to mention, he's the younger brother of the previous leader of Xitrater, Wayne D. Jack.

157 | Silver Killer/Antonio [Chr.]

✦ Lucky DX. Tine
✦ Age: 1,707
✦ Height: 6'7 [200 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: 'Recvn Ai' - This is a terrifying ability, with massive amounts of power behind it. With this Recvn Power, Tine is able to Pause, Speed Up, Rewind and Loop time itself. However, his power is limited. He gets exhausted pretty fast.
'Recvn Ascension Ai' - This power breaks Tine's power limits to an extent, letting him control time for longer durations of time without getting tired.
✦ Lord Tine is one of the most feared beings on Xitrater, for obvious reasons. He's quite friendly to his 'comrades' however. Personality-wise, Tine is a very elegant and smart person, probably the smartest person on the planet, at that. His personality comes with a twist, though. Right on the other side of that elegant personality is a psychotic man who will do anything to stop the dangers against Xitrater, and/or the Queen's [Slithe's] plan.
✦ History: [Erased]

158 | Lord Tine [Chr.]

✦ Synthia Springflower [Slithe]
✦ Age: 32
✦ Height: 5'1 [154 cm]
✦ Recvn Ability: 'The Meaning Of' - A power that lets Synthia/Slithe communicate to people through their minds, no matter where she is. She can also know exactly where any person is at any given time. Similar to Airi's 'The Will Of', it lets her automatically sense oncoming attacks, but to an extent further than Airi's - Synthia is able to see 30 minutes into the future.
'Metoiosin Ai' - With this power, Synthia/Slithe can control any metal and form it in any way. She almost doesn't have a limit to how much she can use this power, it's range is insane as well. She can form objects out of metal from across the entire planet, all while knowing where she's using her power.
"Recvn Universal Mayhem Ai" - Can only be activated if she obtains a family member's blood. This is not a natural Recvn power. It's heavily modified and extremely dangerous. Most forces will be unable to stop you if you use this Recvn, but there is a catch. Once one uses this Recvn, they die shortly after. This Recvn makes all of one's energy to multiply infinitely, it also grows your physical state by millions. If Slithe were to activate this, she would be 3.3 billion miles tall. To clarify, that's roughly half the size of our solar system.

159 | ⋆ Synthia's Theme ⋆

✦ [At the last bits of your remaining health, Mitchie confronts you after your battle with her.]
✦ Mitchie: What... are you? 
✦ Mitchie: There's no way you're a human from the old Earth I know.
✦ Mitchie: ...That we know..
✦ Mitchie: You're slaughtering everyone in your path, little guy. That's not how things should be here.

✦ [From this point, you have an option to murder or let Mitchie live.]

✦ [Spare]:
✦ Mitchie: That's right.. that's what I thought.
✦ [Mitchie walks up to you, and gives you a hug.]
✦ Mitchie: See, it's okay.
✦ [You black out, to never wake up again.]

✦ [Murder]:
✦ Mitchie: Things don't have to be this way.. Come here, please..
✦ [Mitchie sets her weapon down, holding her hand out to you.]
✦ [You take this opportunity to lunge forth and grab her axe, spinning around back to her, you impale her from behind.]
✦ Mitchie: W... Wow, little guy. You're.. strong.. You'll do.. so well..
✦ Mitchie: Give.. my son.. my regards. 
✦ Mitchie: Tell him.. I love..
✦ [Mitchie dies before she can speak any longer.]

✦ [When you wake up from the dream, Mitchie is across the room, laying flat on her frontside, in a puddle of blood.]

160 | ✮ Death of Mitchie, The Nightmare ✮

✦ Squishy: Look to the stars, Airi.
✦ Squishy: You can see infinitely, can't you?
✦ Squishy: It's overwhelming, isn't it.

✦ Squishy: Do you realize how many innocent lives you have ended here? On this planet? How about in this one city?
✦ Squishy: You look to the stars and see an endless sky, while, I see something different.
✦ Squishy: I can see other worlds.
✦ Squishy: Universes. Different from ours. 
✦ Squishy: A whole other reality, Airi.

✦ Squishy: With your power, who's to say future people like you won't destroy those realities?
✦ Squishy: You amaze me with your strength Airi, you're one dangerous person.
✦ Squishy: You've crossed the line though, dude.
(Continued in the next track.)

161 | Mind Warped Across Reality

✦ [Squishy's eyes glow red, once in awhile flickering a purple shade.]
✦ Squishy: tldr; show me what you got, fucker.
✦ [Battle Start]

✦ Squishy: Ah, all of the realities... These alternate universes.
✦ Squishy: I can see them all. 
✦ Squishy: Happy endings, awh... Bad endings, booo! Hahaha!

✦ Squishy: All of these realities, I'm sure you'd love to slaughter everyone in them, wouldn't you.
✦ Squishy: Just like you slaughtered everyone here..


✦ Squishy: That's too bad, jerk. This is the end of the line.

✦ Squishy: Who was that one guy.. He warned me about you. To stay away from you.
✦ Squishy: What was his name? Auro..? No, no.. Arc.. 
✦ Squishy: It doesn't matter.

✦ Squishy: Time to bring everything back to zero.

162 | ✮ ZEROPOP ✮

✦ [You walk up a cliff, aside from Itance. Assassin B4C, or as you just found out, Berry, is standing on it.]
✦ [You decide to approach.]
✦ Berry: Look at this place. It's so quiet.
✦ Berry: It's usually filled with so much happiness and life.. but not anymore, is it?
✦ [Berry turns around, revealing tears streaming down her face]
✦ Berry: Oh, you. What have you gotten yourself into?
✦ Berry: You've killed almost everyone. It seems you have no plan to stop either.
✦ [Berry laughs.]
✦ Berry: You're going to kill me too, yeah?
✦ [Berry's eyes become dilated as she grins at you, laughing.]
✦ [Battle Start]
✦ Berry: Do your worst.

163 | ✮ Monday Mayhem ✮

✦ [Plays in the Neutral or Bad Ending.]
✦ [In the Neutral Ending, this plays as you give your life to Slithe, and watch your home planet be destroyed before your own eyes in the final seconds of your life.]
✦ [In the bad ending, this is played as you, Airi, kill Slithe yourself, destroy the Earth, then shortly after you destroy the planet Xitrater, ultimately killing yourself as well.]

164 | ✮ World Ending Event ✮

✦ I sense

✦ [Until next time, friends. -Arcuria]

167 | 2041, Pearl Tide

So, it's done. This first part of the story is finally over. It took a long time to complete this, but it was fun. I hope all of you had fun experiencing this as well! I couldn't've done this without all of your support. There were so many times I contemplating on giving up on this extremely long part of the story, but all of you continued to give me motivation. With countless times I've received compliments on the soundtrack, to people being interesting in the characters, the lore, and everyone's backstories. It filled me with motivation. -And I'm more than grateful for that. Thank you, everyone.

I originally made this project because it was inspired off of troubles I've had with my own family. Through loss and hard times it's important to stay positive, even though it may be hard. It's been a great experience making this project and it's really helped me see how important certain things and people in life are. I hope this inspires people as well.
