A Desperate Search.

Marina woke up. She woke up late, it was almost noon. Both Alex and Indigo were already working to put the city back together. Marina put on some clothes and opened the door. Before she left, she stared at Ether's empty bunk, with a violet on it. Marina frowned. "Ether..." Marina exited and made herself breakfast. She felt the abundance of magic in the air. Not anything unusual. At least Alex and Indigo would be done with work soon, it'd been a month since Ether's death. Marina sighed, plopping on the couch. Suddenly, the magic particles started vibrating. "Huh...?" Marina felt the particles. They accumulated in one place. Right on Marina's lap. There, they formed a recall bolt. "A... recall...? But how...? And where...?" Marina was hesitant, but she took a hold of the recall bolt.

Marina arrived at the bolt's origin. It was... the now moon, Galado. "Galado...?" Marina looked around. The gravity had caused the spikes to cave in and form a surface of metal. Marina looked at what was left of the castle. It was just a plot on the ground, now. "Oh..." Marina walked forwards. There was another recall bolt on the ground. Two, actually. "OI!" Someone was behind Marina. "Why are you here?!" The person shouted. Marina turned to look at the mysterious individual. It was a girl, who had deer antlers, a robotic arm, and a crack down her face. Like a statue. This crack went from her forehead, down her right eye, then stopped when it reached the end of her face. This woman had long, blonde hair. She donned a tanktop. She was very busty, as well, and wore ripped jeans and sandals. "Well?! Answer!" The girl put her hands on her hips. "Oh, I'm Marina... I was led here by a magic recall bolt." Marina sighed. "Oi, I'm Icaria, and I'm a treasure hunter. Don't you goddamn DARE get in my way, because there's treasure here. I located it with a magic compass." Icaria scoffed. "Wait, recall bolts?" Icaria looked at them, then glared at Marina. "Follow me, and I'll take it as a threat." Icaria snagged a recall arrow and she was off. Marina grunted. "I... have to go. This could be a clue. I could get Ether back..." Marina grabbed a recall bolt as well.

Marina landed on a new planet. It was a city, made of stone. It was destroyed, like it was hit by bombs. "What is this place...?" Marina looked around. "So, you decided to follow me." Icaria glared at Marina, facing her. "Then, let's really see who's the better woman. May the winner follow the path, eh?" Icaria's robotic arm morphed into a laser blade. Marina summoned an ice blade. "Ether..." she whispered to herself. Icaria pressed something on her arm, and the laser blade transformed into a chainsaw laser. Marina gulped. Icaria lunged at Marina and swung her chainsaw. Marina blocked by summoning an ice shield, but Icaria instantly shredded through that. "Gh-!" Marina jumped back. "What's wrong? Chicken?" Icaria sneered. Marina raised her hand in the air, and about ten water daggers were summoned. Marina sent them after Icaria. The first one grazed Icaria's cheek. The next three Icaria deflected with her chainsaw. The next five Icaria dodged. "HA! What do you think of-" Icaria was cut off by the final dagger cutting off her left antler. "M-m-m-my..." Icaria held part of her antler in her hand. "MY ANTLERRRRR!" Icaria rushed at Marina. "Uh oh..." Marina tapped the ground. She created an ice slide to escape with. Marina hopped on the slide and used water to propel herself. Icaria attacked the slide, damaging it. The ice slide cracked. "Shit!" Marina used a blast of water to launch herself off the slide as it shattered, then Marina landed onto a broken building. "I'LL SKIN YOU AND PUT YOUR EYEBALLS IN A JAR!" Icaria threatened. Marina ran off, jumping from building to building, as Icaria chased after her. "Ah!" Marina noticed two recall bolts. "Ether... what are you planning?" Asked Marina, grabbing one.

Marina was sent to Earth's moon. She stopped to admire the scenery, which costed her hair to get a trim via Icaria's chainsaw. "GRRR!" Icaria attacked once more, but Marina created water which she, on an ice surfboard, surfed forwards quickly. "GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Yelled Icaria. Marina looked up. She saw the planet of Venus. "This is the turning point." Marina looked at the american flag that had been planted on the moon. She stepped on the flag, causing it to bend, and then launched herself off it, with some help with water propulsion, onto Venus. "GRRRR!" Icaria stomped the ground. Marina looked at the ground of Venus. "Two bolts. Looks like whoever planted these expected us to go together." Marina got ahold of a bolt and was sent off.

Marina arrived on a forest planet, inhabited by fairies and elves. The overgrowth was insane. So many vines. "H-huh...? Who are you...?" Asked a fairy. She looked hurt. "I'm Marina, the river nymph. Are you okay?" Marina asked the fairy. "N-no... the whole forest has been doing bad ever since HE arrived..." the fairy replied. "He?" Asked Marina. "A novakid. He has a green omega on his face, and is purple. He can create portals, too... we're no match for him..." the fairy sighed. Ether... what are you up to? Marina looked at the ground. "Do you know where he is now?" Asked Marina. "The head building of the forest... he took control of our village." The fairy looked at an extremely tall mushroom, fashioned into a house. "Hey, Umbra, let's get home." Another fairy said to the one by Marina. "O-oh... okay..." The fairy named Umbra went home. "Please, help us out..." Umbra pleaded on her way home. "Ether. I promise, I will save you." Marina walked forwards and opened the door to the head forest building, heading inside.

"Marina, we're ho-" Alex looked around. "Marina? Mariiiinaaaa?" Alex sighed. "Where is she?" Indigo asked. "I don't know, I'm worried..." Alex looked down.
