The Sky Hook arrived at the station the sounds of clacking and the hissing of air pressure followed as the Sky Hook opened and revealed to them a desolated town...old weathered buildings, empty streets, markets without any food or people, machines above them moving, keeping the station powered....
....eerily quiet.

Roxa stepped out of the Sky Hook and looked around at the town with his jaw dropped, he couldn't believe what he was seeing here... An entire town just like any you'd see down on Allorum, but up in space! Space! Of all the places... Staring at the machines above them and the desolation surrounding them, Roxa snapped back onto the task at hand. He needed to be ready and prepared, for all he knew, Everto could be waiting around the next corner to attack him, and he needed to make sure his head was in the game for when and if that occurred...
"Roxa Sairen is gone..." he thought to himself "He's cascaded to the back of my mind and sealed away, just like when Ave's here..." he took a deep breath as his hands went inside of his jacket and unsheathed his two blades "I am Roxa Hiaten now... I'm the kid who lost his family when he should have kept them, the child who slayed entire hordes of bandits in revenge, the young one who traveled the world before many could even dream of it..." he closed his eyes and exhaled, his swords feeling heavy in his hands and yet they felt like they were at home...
Silence.
He only just realized how long it had been since he had encountered it, how long it had been since he hadn't had Ave or Eva whispering in his ears, they were there and he knew it but they were no longer vying for control anymore, they were both hiding away from this dominance that was Roxa, he was no longer a torn demon searching for a purpose. He was a killer. He knew what he was doing and he knew how he was going to do it, his mind was clear and he already could tell that he was stronger, faster and sharper than he had ever been.
"I am Roxa Hiaten..." he breathed, his eyes snapping open, clear to the world and ready for action.

"Thank you, Ayalan," Alessia nodded towards the man. She found it most unusual, for the last time they had been in a battle together he had a knife to her throat. But things had changed now, and she truly appreciated what he was going to do.
The doors open to reveal the town, which completely stunned her. Such technology was breathtaking for Alessia, yet there was an air of sadness flowing through the town, seeing how such an advanced society had basically died off.
She looked at Roxa, she could tell he was preparing for the battle ahead. Biting her lip to keep herself from voicing her worry she simply closed her eyes and wished the gods to protect him. From his enemies and himself.

Xiza walked out onto the Skyhook, and just walked forward into this city of his home planet. He didn't ogle over at the town, because he wasn't here for that. His mission is to keep Ketulunanox safe, and destroy those who would harm his kingdom or his moons.
"Armor, stay close." He said, as Armor walked behind him, with her sword out at the side.

The space colony.
I had been born on a ship, yes, but not this kind - not a true colony ship with streets and avenues and cities; it was a sight I had only read about and heard of.
I breathed the air, and I knew that I was the only one amongst the party who knew how much it took to keep even that running. Yet the streets were eerily deserted, and I could feel it, all around me.
"This place is dying," I whispered to myself, resettling my wings as I shivered unconsciously.
It was quiet... too quiet. This place was a ghost town.

He was scowling... He didn't really bother at first, he hadn't even noticed it if he was being honest. But then he recognized the expression, the same one that he'd worn for so long when he was younger, in a way he had missed the expression on his face. It had always been his shield, hiding him away from prying eyes, averting those who dare want in away from him. It had also been a third sword for him, letting him break through an enemies psychological defenses and breach their mind.
The silence was golden, he was enjoying it if he was being honest, the elevated senses of the hunter... This was who he had been born as, it was who he had been raised as, he had been raised on blood and weaned on death and he had returned to those roots. He surprised himself with how easy it was, it was like he was a completely different person... He wanted to test himself...

Ayalan at this point was the next to move ahead, as he made no comment of the area.
"No matter where the battlefield, the battle still must be fought for the sake of the future," he then took another stride, leaping into a dark area, sneaking and soon, he was nearly out of sight unless one had been really looking- he perfected a lot of his skill, and he teleported, surveying and scouting the area, making sure everyone was safe behind him.

The group walked inside and saw the desolate town, suddenly a large whirring was heard and machines began to gather at the center at the town. Forming a large oval device that began to display an image of Claire.
"So you have come to seek sanctuary, well I am afraid my Station cannot accommodate you. You are not welcome, go join your kind in the upcoming end."
"Claire!" Andy yelled.
Claire ignored Andy and turned to Eli, "Eli, you have a chance to heed to your Ketalunaian blood."
"That's not what I want!" Eli yelled, "Stop this, destroying the people of Allorum won't ease your pain!"
Suddenly Eli felt a sharp pain in his head, he clutched at it and grimaced. Claire didn't seem to notice, or care about, it.
"I see I cannot sway you, very well, come further if you dare...I know Aku is awaiting to see you Eli. Shouldn't disappoint him."
The image vanished and the machines resided into the walls.

A large church stood in their path, large was actually an understatement, it was more like a cathedral in size, with many doors lining the front area, it's size reached so far up it was probably one of the biggest structures in this area. Then suddenly one of the doors swung open and standing in the door way was Aku. His body was completely covered in a dark cloak, he remained still and cold, just staring silently at the group... but that was all he needed, for Eli heard every thought he had.
"Eli... the moment has come.", he motioned for Eli to follow him, "Come now, and we'll see who is truly powerful."
His eyes changed from Eli, scanning the group of heroes, "And Eli? If you don't come I promise I'll kill someone very important to you."
His eyes stopped on Juno, even though she was once his partner he didn't seem to care. In fact his crazed smile almost seemed like he wanted to do harm against her, only to get on the nerve of Eli.

"No!" Eli yelled, charging at him. He ran up the steps to the Aku and was about to jump him...when the image of Aku flashed, to someone he couldn't see, but felt menacing. He grabbed his head and fell to his knees, the steps behind him then rose up as a wall, preventing the others from reaching him. Though they could hear Eli yell out one word:
Duo.
"Duo...?" Kevin muttered, suddenly confirming a fear he had about Eli...something that explained his strangeness around Roxa. However laughter cut his thoughts.
"Well well, did I hear something about interlopers? You're not welcome here you know..."
As the shadows began to shift around Andy got into a fighting position and growled.
"Oh great..."
