The young Arcosian child known as Core was just hanging innocently around his home, making his little adventure about this new place he had yet to fully discover, it was a thing to fly around a couple of time, but up close, there was much more things to explore, discover and bond with. And for one of the first time in his life, ‘home’ for Core didn’t meant a planet, a zone, even a ship… no… he was really home this time, as in his house, his adoptive family’s home of the Waterfields, his family. Core was walking around the forest of sakura’s around the house, he was apparently in the middle of an island on the eastern side of the planet, which didn’t meant really something because the planet was round, but it was East on all the map so he’d just roll with it, no need to reform geography after all.
The changeling walked tough the forest happily, the landscapes were beautiful and being on foot this time was emerging him in it, making him a part of this vision he had before when he was first introduced to this wonderful place. Some of the cherry blossoms were falling on him and all around, giving his childhood innocent sense of wonder a view that would be incredibly hard to rival in term of wonder. ‘’ This place is wonderful…’’ He would whisper to himself as he began to spin around lightly to make the thing go, pushing his aura gently outside to create an impact, sending the petals flowing away in all direction, making the Arcosian let a soft and innocent giggle to himself while he chased some of them, of course he was going by foot and not flying, it would make everything un-fun.
After a while, Core arrived to some sort of lake that was in the middle of many trees that were hiding it with their branch and petals, exactly what Core was looking for when he thought of looking closer and not by flying above, no way he would have found this otherwise. ‘’ Woaa!’’ He would say out loud, thinking to himself: [ Wow, I definitively have to come back here someday… it’s going to be my secret hiding place and it’s going to be awesome!] And smirked lightly, he truly found that one of a kind place where he would be able to go should the worst happen and he need some time alone…. Or if he wants to swim a little and relax… or any other reason he would find to come to this place and do something, he really had no idea yet of all of those.

While core was standing near the lake, a small miniscule light of energy lit up behind the arcosian before a soft, squishy noise was heard from behind, a few thick inhales from a pipe that was lit with a rather peculiar mix colouring into the sky, a myriad of colours coming out of the tip hidden underneath the leaves itself while resting ontop of one of these trees their branches, a small gourd on his side for the ashes hanging from his hip.
"Beautifull aint it?, This place has such a meaning to the family of the waterfield family you know... Its where phae her mother once proposed to one of their ancestors and those droplets of her tears have sprouted this beauty..."
Exhaling a ring of smoke while using the manipulation of energy from within the air to reshape it into a small bird of ghastly appearance closing in towards you before scattering into a hundreds tiny specs of dust spraying over the ground.
The final little embers losing their light as the man known as Ayumu slowly leaned backwards on the branch he was resting on.
With the spotless water and the small tracks of animals in the vacinity.
"Soon it will be time for me to leave lil' core, i will be gone for a few days to get something known as a cure... But would you be willing to listen to a few lessons i am going to stick in that head of yours?
I merely beg to you to listen, even if it may sound boring because if conflict arises between those two... Lets just say that celmaru his family lineage is disgusting, like tar.
Every single person either is a good natured friend..."
Manifesting a sphere, with two colours floating inside in perfect unison, one side was a bubbling, black festering acid while the other was a lake of pure serenity, white, clear waters that were incapable of moving at all, a perfect stand still of these two.
"Or a dark festering darkness that attempts to consume the other... So please, give me the chance to teach you how to manipulate some of this darkness within a friend of mine that calls me a grandfather and save his life at some point.
I would not be able to be there for him, i need your help more than anything you can imagine core... please, i am just a frail man at the end of his ropes..."
Droplets forming in his eyes, it was his only request.

Core watched his reflection for a moment in the clear water, he looked rather funny when he thought about it, and he could see the similarities with the lizard some people could see, with the pointy tall and the scale-like Bio-armor, for an ignorant like those using the comparison, it was clear that he must be some lizard descendant, but the similarities were not going much further as the rest of Core’s body was obviously more humanoid then lizard, but humans were often under-looking many thing to see only what they wanted to, they were sometime even ignoring on purpose things just to see their favorite conspiration in play or just to have a simpler answer to a more complex question that were torturing them, really, most of them preferred not to ask real question, ignore them, to live a life where they would be able to be innocent, and Core knew it, but wasn’t he doing the same already?
A voice from behind would call him back to the situation, a voice he knew very well to be his great-grandfather Ayumu, the one that gave him the suit for his vigilante counter-part. When he spoke about this place, Core would smile a bit, the story behind this was amusing, though a bit sad. ‘’ You’re right, it’s beautiful…’’ The Arcosian would say, turning his head to look at Ayumu and smiled. ‘’ As expected from anything that come out of mom, she’s is just one of the sweetest creature I’ve ever met in this world, I don’t know why someone would reject her… maybe they’re blind or something…’’ Core would tell his great-grandfather that was smoking with a bit of a joking ton, knowing that very little female on Earth could compare to his adoptive mother’s beauty and grace.
When the old man asked if Core was ready to listen to his sage words once more, the young Arcosian would let out a soft laugh before nodding lightly. ‘’ Of course I am ready to listen, but don’t make it too complicated…’’ The young Arcosian would say amusingly before hearing the long speech of the old man start, knowing that it was going to be hard to understand and he’d have to try, but he had to, it would be disrespect not to since he begged him to listen, it must be really important, so the young Arcosian focused on what he was saying, trying to understand every single bit of information, making his head hurt a bit, he wasn’t used anymore to understand problems on a daily bases. ‘’ Yeah I know, some people in our family is horrible… to say the least, his grandfather, not you, the other one, is a totally meanie…’’
Upon hearing the whole story, Core would rub his forehead a bit, it was more complicated than he first expected, he wasn’t sure he had gotten all the information he was supposed to, but he hoped he had the most of it at the very least. ‘’ Okay uh… I don’t think I know anything about darkness-manipulation business, but I can still try if you show me… I had nothing to do and… well… it sounds kind of cool! And Mister Ayumu, uou are not at the end of your rope, I can assure you, you still have a long life ahead of you, and you don’t even expect it for now, but there is a key for human to live longer, and you have it within you, without even thinking about it, you have it all.’’ Core would say amused, referring to his power that would keep him alive, just like in the legends.

The man known as Ayumu corrected the little guy on his answer, specifying the mother of his mother, somebody who fostered phae... For a tiny while, atleast with how little attention she had.
With the lights in the pipe slowly starting to dim as he was trying to make his tears stop, praising the kami under his voice, a few words of respect towards bing being heard.
"Its not a technique, its not a method of curing it... Sadly, i can only teach you how to step in during a moment of weakness of his and attempt to use this..."
Slowly moving the trembling hand of a old man towards his pocket, a bundle of paper shaped like a smoke bomb would become visible as he took a quick look at it before casting a small prayer onto it.
It was obvious at first that this prayer had nothing of importance to it, none, not even a single sliver of energy surrounded it, yet the feelings behind it made all the diffrence, it was a prayer that spoke of the frailty of humans and how he hoped that there would be no danger for them in the upcoming struggles.
Giving a look upwards towards the arcosian, ayumu started to shake his head.
"My time is truely being pushed to its very end... I have to move towards a region far into the north with these fists of mine and attempt to request help of a few people i have known in the past."
Moving forwards with a single step, the air simply caused the baggy pants to make a few unpleasant noises as they whipped against Ayumu his body due to the sudden increase of wind presure.
Yet the moment his body had adjusted, you could see him using soft taps to walk through the air, manipulating his hand behind his back to give just enough force to keep him stable creating a rather interesting motion before taking out a small pendant.
"Core, If something were to happen to me or this mechanical thing inside of me consuming my flesh... Please remember me not as some sort of criminal on the black market but also look at the things i have done for the good of everything..."
Inside of the pendant would be a set of pictures cut together, the faces of everybody he had met and everybody he cared for, even yours would be visible within.
Every single image was kept in a quality that was without damage, yet the outside of the pendant, with its silver decoration was scarred, sliced, cut and even damaged.
Hundreds of tiny scratches decorated it while if one were to pry out the images there would be a small key located in the bottom along with a certain adress.
"Please promise me core that you will continue performing what you think is justice, while at night, during the sun and even under the glorious light of what you consider your personal justice? Please."

Core would look over to Ayumu, a bit confused about what was going on, it felt like something bad was about to happen, this heavy feeling of wrong, Core didn’t liked it, but he tried to convince himself that it was nothing and that was probably his imagination, Ayumu was still strong and always brought light to Core’s life with his wisdom. ‘’ Phae’s mother uh… interesting… so I do have a grandmother on this side… I wish I could have met her…’’ Core would admit, looking back at the lake to see the rest of her sadness lying there in a beautiful way with glimpses of light coming out of it, like she still had some hope to be happy after all, what a sad sigh and thing to be thinking about, but Core hoped that wherever she was, she was happy right now and had no regrets at all.
When the question returned to the ‘technique’ or rather the method that Core was about to learn, the young Arcosian was curious, if Celmaru, or at least Core though it was Celmaru who Ayumu was talking about, was in danger, and there was a method only Ayumu knew to save him, then it was hyper important for Core to know it if Ayumu was to leave for a couple of days, in case the worst happen, even if Core didn’t really knew what the worst was, he still have to be prepared for it nonetheless. ‘’ Then tell me how Ayumu… I wouldn’t want my family to be in danger with some shadow you’re speaking of… I want to help and I’m sure I can!’’ Core would say cheerfully, trying to cheer up Ayumu who was clearly in a descent, but Core was denying it to himself, saying that he was okay.
Hearing the truth about Ayumu’s life that was being pushed to its limit, Core would shake his head in denial, not now, not already, he barely knew Ayumu, and they still had to spend time together right? There was no way he was already leaving right? ‘’ G-grandfather?’’ Core would say in a sad voice, looking up at him, his look betraying his fear of losing him. ‘’ Y-you’re going to come back then… right? You’re not going to stay there right?’’ Core would ask, clearly in a bit of a panic, this childish feeling in front of death where you’re not able to do anything for the people you love while they’re going away, Core was never explained or introduced to it, so it was striking hard on an unprepared Core that didn’t knew the proper reaction to it and was simply struggling to keep it inside.
When Ayumu confirmed Core’s fear, Core would go in and hug him tightly, not to hurt him but to keep him close to him the more he could. ‘’ No Ayumu… you can’t leave… nothing is can happen to you…’’ Core would begin to say, tears starting to get down his cheeks at he held his grand-father close. ‘’ You never was a bandit… you’re a hero to me…’’ Core would tell him before hearing his demand, making him cry even more as he looked at Ayumu, his face covered in tears. ‘’ Yes Ayumu… I will… I will never let down justice… I will keep this legacy of justice you gave me and bring it higher than it ever was! I’ll make you proud Ayumu! I promise! But please don’t go… don’t leave me…’’ Core would say crying, his voice was barely audible at this point, overwhelmed by his sadness.

While Ayumu wanted to say everything was okay, that nothing would go wrong, he simply rummaged in his pockets, feeling two tickets that he was planning to give to a certain couple that called him a mere grandfather... Ayumu his facial expression slowly twisting before placing a set of two tickets on the palm of Core his hand after taking it off him.
"Core, in three days we are still going to that little restaurant right? Its a all you can eat buffet with even hundred types of ice cream!
There are a hundred things we can do together so you better not be too late alright? If you do good old ayumu will have to wait to greet you again with his souvenirs"
Slowly lowering himself on his knees before hoping that you would accept a hug from this old fart, his face showing a certain kind of determination, a determination to keep up this facade of a happy go lucky old man, yet far behind this mask was a man tearing up.
One that honestly hoped in all rights that nothing bad would happen to his life, that every moment he was pushed forwards he could just spend more time with his new family.
In his new group of friends, in his new little play belief on trying to avoid what he had lost in the past.
His mouth forming a single word towards Core before simply attempting to seperate the kid from him and patting him on his forehead.
Slowly starting to make his way outside of this beautifull area, knowing that there was now a promise attached to this place.
'Core'
His lips had spoken just moments ago.
'Keep this place safe... Keep the drug close... But above all, do not let our little meeting area be taken out here alright? Life has too much value to just be abandoned by us that quickly.'
Before going off in a attempt to archieve his goal, hoping that his own grandson believed in him enough for this potential future...

When his great-grandfather took the tickets out of his pocket, Core would brighten a bit, the fact that Ayumu had planned something for both of them in the future meant that there was a change he’d make it out alive, and that’s all Core was asking for, a chance, a way that he would see him again, he didn’t liked farewell and preferred to keep everyone around him for the longest he could, even if he knew that his lifespan would make him outlast most people, but at this point, he thought that being older would make him able to resist this sadness.’’ Of course we are Ayumu! And don’t worry, even if I’m not late, you can still tell me your souvenir, I don’t mind really!’’ Core would not so obviously lie, because of Core In the moment he was too emotive to realize Ayumu’s memory weren’t always nice to hear about, but at the point where he was facing the loss of his great-grandfather, everything with him seemed to be just awesome and worth it all the time in the world.
When the old man lowered himself for a hug, Core gladly went back in and embrace him with his arm, tears were slowing down but still going down the Arcosian’s face, both joy and fear were mixing him in a weird way to create this moment that Core didn’t knew what to think about at all, it was too confusing for him, he just decided to accept it, not thinking too much about it and simply live it, maybe it was the key to more problem that he realized at this moment. Hearing his name once more, Core knew that the goodbye was close, and all he could hope for was that it wasn’t a goodbye forever, much like last time with Kay-El, he hoped that this goodbye was temporary, only this time, the doubt of it being final was much higher. Hearing the old man speak to Core, this young child hidden in his powerful body would nod quickly. ‘’ Yes Ayumu, nobody would ever taint that ground, or this planet, if I have any matter in the balance, and I’ll make sure that nobody lose hope until the very end… just like you Ayumu, keep this smile going… promise me… that if you face the end… greet it with a smile… just like you greeted everything else…’’ Core would say before his tears stopped for a moment, he rubbed his eyes lightly, then revealing a smile Core was obviously forcing, but he didn’t wanted Ayumu’s last memory of him to be a crying face.

His attempt to leave without worry, Ayumu his face slowly distorting as he had taken a look at this pained smiling face of that grandchild before turning around. Facing the exit of this beautifull place, feeling the soft squirming movement of the object in his torso with droplets of water starting to make their way outwards... Glowing with the intensity of a raging wildfire whilest raising his fist, Ayumu had often felt like he was falling short of his choices, continiously having to jump through loops and put people in risks to attempt to save them, to attempt to help them. Still remembering the pacts he had made with all these hearts, his telepathy upon closing his eyes showing these hundreds of people that had visited his stall, that had sparred with Hana and Himself, these people who were part of the ones that he had once viewed as a mere danger to himself. Fear of being nothing of use to society he found himself immersed in the memories of magic within the memories of Hana, it made him immerse himself into the knowledge of technology while spreading himself thinner, constructing buildings and doing as much as he could with after long weeks of work every fiber in his body cried out in agony. ' Celmaru Waterfield you are a great person... You have always been a little rascal who could do better and you did...' Taking his first few steps while keeping his eyes closed, feeling the continious beat of the hearts in these ears of his, knowing that everybody had their own thing and was continiously striving to become the very best. ' Core Stold you were a fantastic grandchild who has chosen a firm belief, Sabika you are always a friend in my heart for helping us as much as you did, Chili Pepper and Tourit i miss the little things we did in the past while we were still in those strange moments of trying to survive...' Continueing to move his feet forwards before standing still for a moment, opening his wetted eyes before jumping upwards and praying that he could solve one of the issues that has been afflicting him for so long while going through a few of his precious older friends. Yet one struck him as one he had done more bad than good too, simply bringing his hands together before uttering a soft word of power towards this man in the hopes that they wouldn't have been consumed by their darkness... ' @alexandervoss and Appile I hope that neither of you have felt the darkness take over everything... But a mere request has been made that i am certain even in the darkest depth of darkness these can hear... Take controll and come meet me as i seek you two... You two are children to me, children i do not wish to overcome with darkness from somebody who has been taken by force... Please..." Placing both hands against his torso, Ayumu spoke a soft prayer before vanishing from his position, sending out all these telepathic pulses in one single burst before vanishing from his location, making his way towards a chance to have this deathly fate be over. (End thread for me! Pl please? Also, Telepathy 2 means i can send universe wide messages! Have fun! :3 Could add more people but lets not go overboard shall we? Ayumu's just trying to tie down some knots)
