(OOC: Apologies for the wait! Did not forget you.)
Alistair had crossed his arms and waited. Unlike with Riley, although he was upset, he had clearly more respect for Lana. It just seemed he never got along with Riley, really. Despite that, he never took it out on the rest of Riley's family. As Lana explained it was something beyond her, he briefly raised is brows. After Lana had said that, she sent Insoy away with Iris. Alistair watched as his sister was taken away to rest in her room. At least Iris would be alright for now.
Saleth looked confused and Alistair, as soon as he focused on Lana again, looked as if he weren't going to give up that easily until an explanation of some kind would be given. Lana seemed to know this or felt it was necessary and started to talk. All the while, the others remained respectfully silent as they listened to her.
According to Lana, the necklace was involved with something important that could mean the destruction of this universe. That was all Lana was allowed to tell them. Otherwise, Pandora and Madison were the ones to speak of it, it seemed.
"So basically...my sister is wearing a bullseye around her neck...or rather, has been all this time. Why is it that I am NOT surprised?" Alistair stated, his voice utterly dripping with sarcasm. He was quite the moody one it seemed. Despite that, there did look like worry in his eyes and that worry was for Iris. He might be a jerk to Riley but Alistair cared about his sister. If she died, Alistair wouldn't be able to live with himself.
Lana said that she could take them to Pandora and Madison. Depending in the moods they were in, Lana would have to get them out of there too.
"Eh, why not?" Saleth said, very used to death threats and danger by now.
"I would appreciate it. I want to know what's endangering my sister's life."

The moment Lana said something about the destruction of the universe Drake wanted to run for the hills. He would have, if he didn't know Saleth would hunt him down to the ends of the world and and back. He did however start slowing backing away as they talked about going to see Pandora and Madison. He quietly, or at least tried to, ducked down into one of the bushes. He would try to hide there as long as he could. He did however still have his tail sticking out.
As both Saleth and Alistair agreed to see Pandora and Madison Lana nodded to them. She knew Alistair would want to know what danger his sister was in, and if Saleth was going to live here she would have to find out too. Especially since Lana saw her as her best friend. Lana did however look around to see if Derio had caught up to them yet. There was no sign of him. Was he still in the realm of the goddesses? When he said he would look after the cookies she didn't think he actually meant it. She sighed, since Riley left they needed Derio. She looked at the other two. " Wait right here," She told them. " I need to get Derio if we want to get there safely." She disappeared.
After a while a portal opened with Lana and Derio coming out of it. Derio didn't look too happy about whatever she told him. If it had something to do with what just happened it was anyone's guess. Since he was Pandora's and Madison's son that would be a very good guess. " I just want to know why we can't just tell them." Lana said. Derio looked at her. For the first time in countless years he gave her a serious look. " You know good and well why." He told her. " My mother and father are the only ones who can decide if the time is right. Given what you just told me, the time might come far sooner than expected. Given that they are not ready yet we can't afford to act too soon." He then looked at the gaint hole in the castle wall. He sighed and pointed his hand to it. It started sparking with a weird pink energy. Soon the hole was covered by a soild wall of pink energy.
Derio then turned back to the others. " That should hold until you can get it fixed. Now you will be seeing Pandora and Madison.... my parents. If you want to make it back in one piece you'll need these." With a flick of his wrist four pairs of hot pink sunglasses appeared in his hand. He gave them one each, except for Saleth, who he gave two. " Make sure if he starts running they don't fall off." He told her pointing to Drake's tail sticking out of the bush. He then opened up a red and black portal. He looked back at them. " Assuming you all come back alive either one of them came bring you back." He bowed to them before starting to walk off. " Wait aren't you coming with us?" Lana asked. Derio looked back at her. " I have... something to attend to. But I will meet you once you all come back." Lana nodded, though she was afraid to face his parents without him. She then looked at the others. " Let's go." She walked into the portal. Once they all would have gone through Derio would turn back around. A green cloak would appear on him. " Time to visit some old friends." He then disappeared somewhere.

Alistair and Saleth patiently waited while Lana went to go and get Derio. According to Lana, they needed Derio in order to get there safely. What did that mean? Saleth couldn't help but glance toward Alistair, whom simply just stared at the spot where Lana had been. It was quiet during the brief moment Lana had spent getting Derio. When the other two finally returned, Saleth and Alistair looked up at them.
Lana and Derio were speaking about the situation. Lana wanted to tell them but it wasn't their place. Only Derio's parents could tell them apparently. Did Derio not like his parents too? It seemed like it. Derio handed each of them a pair of hot pink sunglasses. Why the heck did they need these? Saleth frowned a bit at the coloring. Derio told her then that she needed to make sure that if Drake started to run that he needed to wear the glasses and she was to ensure that he wore them.
"Alright, got it."
Saleth looked over then at where Drake had been. It didn't take long to find him though. He was never good at hiding his tail and it gave him away. He was hiding in the bushes and his tail stuck out for them to see. Saleth let out a sigh as she approached the bushes, grabbed hold of Drake's tail and gently pulled him out from under them.
"Put these sunglasses on, don't make this harder than it has to be." She handed him the pair of sunglasses meant for him. Once that was settled, Saleth would lead the way through the portal but make sure that Drake followed. Alistair, without hesitation, had put the sunglasses on and stepped through the portal. He wanted to get to the bottom of this.

As Saleth pulled Drake out of his hiding spot he had his claws in the ground trying to stay in place. It didn't work as he was pulled from the bushes completely. When Saleth told him to put the sunglasses on he saw they were just like the one's Derio wore. Didn't he say they made him immune to hell? There was only one reason they would need these. After taking a glup he put them on before he went through the portal against his wishes. He would hold on to Saleth until he was sure it was safe.
The portal took them where Drake feared they were going, hell. As they entered the sunglasses would start glowing, at first covering them in a clear pink aura. The aura faded after a while, but they would still make them immune to hell.
It would just what they expected. Fire, stone, and demonic creatures all around. If Shade were here with them she would love every minute of it. Lana looked back at the others before pointing to the top of a cliff. There stood a huge dark gothic castle. " That's where we want to go," She said. " The O'Malley castle."
Lana led them up to it. When they got closer a figure that looked no older than Derio would appear. He had spikey silver hair and eyes that were completely yelow. He had a sucuubus with him that had her arms around him. " Oh it's just you, sister in law," he said looking a Lana. " And here i thought someone was brave enough to come close to here. What do you want? Don't you know we're always busy?"
" We came to see your mother, it's important." Lana told him.
At first he didn't seem interested in helping them, but he seemed to know they wouldn't take no for an answer. " Fine, but if she or Father attack you you're on your own. I'm not losing half my body again."
He led them inside, where there were more sucuubus. " Why don't you go to our room for now?" He told the one with her arms around him. " I'll catch up." After she left them he led them up a few flight of stairs before going down a hallway. On the walls were portits of the O'Malley family. They went from most recent to oldest. They had There names on the bottom. The first was of Ren holding his katanas with a burning city in the background. The next was of Riley in his cursed form. He was holding his twin blades and there were countless gaint monsters in the background exploding. The next was of Riley again, but this time it was when he was still a boy. He had his keyblade in hand and there was some elf boy with him. The next was of Derio. He was sitting on a throne with gold all around and sucuubus' all around him. The portits stopped with Derio's brothers and sister. There didn't seem to be one of Pandora or Madison. There was one that was thorn almost all the way. Whoever it was of there name started with a J.
" So my brother is back in the living world," He said looking at Lana. " Did he happen to bring any... ' friends' with him?"
" No, he came alone." Lana said.
" Oh, so they didn't catch up with him after all. Derio lives another day."
" What do you mean by that?"
" Oh, let's just say Derio's been a bit busy. You see as much as you want to deny it my brother is just like the rest of us. He can lie to you all he wants, you can say he's different all you want, at the end of the day he's still an O'Malley."
" Don't say that! Derio would never-"
" Oh come on now Lana. Haven't ever wondered this; We can come in and out of here at will, Yet Derio just now comes back to find his wife and son? What do you think he's been doing down here? Did you not notice all the sucuubus' here? Do you not notice how Riley keeps staying with Shade? Did you not notice who i was just with? Did you not notice Derio's portit? Tell you what, why don't you ask him yourself? Ask him what took him so long. Ask him about Taylor, Katie, Ruby, Destiny, the list goes on. Read what's in his heart and watch him lie to your face. At the end of the day he's no better than Riley. He's no better than any of us." He stopped in front of two large doors. " You can find mother in there. I'll be off." He left them.
Lana shook her head. Derio would never cheat on her. Would he? No, he loved her and her only. He was faithful, right? She shook her head again, they came here for a reason. She looked back at the others. " Okay, this is it." She pushed the doors open and went into the room. The room was painted blood red. There were different books everywhere and stairs that went up somewhere. At first there was no sign of anyone. Then there were footsteps coming down the stairs. A pale blue demon came down the stairs. Her eyes were just like Elizabeth's, and Riley's when he told Metal he was going to kill him. Her hair was long and a bright pink. She was wearing a red and black top that stopped at her belly and a matching skirt.
" Pandora," Lana said bowing to her. " I'm sorry for coming uninvited and with friends, but i just had to come so suddenly."
" No one comes to me suddenly," Pandora said. " I could sense all of you when you first entered hell. What is so important."
Lana pulled out the red and black gem Iris had. " Where the hell did you get that!? Explain now!" Lana told her the story and all about Rebecca sending Metal Riley after the gem. " And you just let her walk around with the void gem around her neck!? You idoit! Do you have any idea what could have happened if Metal got away with it?!"
" I'm sorry! I thought-"
" Thought what?! That everything would be fine?! That no one would go after it?! You knew about it all this time and didn't tell me nor Madison?! The only ones who could barely beat him? Why i ought to-!"
A katana with a blood red blade appeared in her hand. She swung down at Lana, but a barrier made out of solid red energy appeared around Lana protecting her. Anothrer woman came down the stairs. Her hair was long and blond. Her eyes were completely red. She wore all white clothes. Her hands were glowing with red energy, like Derio's pink energy. Pandora dismissed her blade and the barrier disappeared. " Madison." Lana said.
Madison looked at Pandora. " Did you forget that we know that there are aready others trying to bring him back? Did you forget we have Riley, Nazo, and Shade trainning for the worst?"
" That doesn't change the fact there was a void gem out in the open for everyone to see! Do you want him to come back? Do you want the universe to be destoryed?!"
" No i don't. Reguardless of how it happened, things are moving faster than expected. They came all this way, they have a right to know." Madison looked at everyone after giving Lana a nod. Lana moved to stand with Pandora and Madison.
" Sorry about my wife," Madison said. " Now what is it you know, and what do you want to know?"

Saleth wasn't going to let Drake run away from all of this. She pulled him right out from the bushes and handed the sunglasses to him. Eventually, he had put them on. No doubt, succumbing to what they were about to experience. Saleth didn't want to go there either but it looked like they hadn't any choice. It was strange seeing the obvious males wearing pink sunglasses but it was necessary. Of course, it was strange to Saleth because she wasn't accustomed to males wearing anything pink or purple in her lifetime.
The four of them stepped in with Lana and they were put in an obviously hellish world. Well, obvious hell. Saleth didn't like the look of it. She would be much happier not being in here. It only reminded her of a place much worse than the prison she had been in.
Lana lead them right toward a castle. When they got there, someone appeared with a succubus that had her arms wrapped about him. He spoke to them. Well, to Lana mostly. He went on some sort of long thing about his brother, Derio. About how Derio was lying. Saleth figured there had been something fishy about those succubus she had seen back in the casino before they left. Why didn't Lana see that he was unfaithful? Saleth hated unfaithful males. If her mate ever cheated on her, she'd kill him and the female he cheated on her with. Such a thing should never be acceptable.
Alistair said nothing as they entered the castle and then finally, made their way to where Derio's parents were. When they entered, well, things went awry. The first woman they came across came right over to them, in an aggressive mood. She didn't like Lana coming before them with the others. In fact, she was ticked off about learning of the gem being out in the open. Who were they talking about?
Eventually, just before things could get any worse, a barrier formed about Lana to protect her from harm thanks to the arrival from another woman. This one was much more calm and friendlier. According to the woman that appeared, the first woman was her wife. Well, at this time, Saleth wasn't surprised anymore by anything at this point.
When they were finally addressed, Alistair had been the one to step forward and give a polite bow of respect. Where he didn't like Riley, he wasn't one to disrespect his elders like Derio or his grandparents.
"Your Graces, if it is fine, could you please explain what that gem is? Also, could you explain why it was in Riley's possession to have given my sister such a gem?" Honestly, Alistair had the right mind to smack Riley upside the head for his foolishness. Such an act put his bro- er...sister, in danger!

Madison looked at Alistair and sighed. He had hoped it wouldn't come to this so soon. After so many years of keeping the secret, but this was the only way. With Rebecca already knowing Iris having the gem he would have to speed up his ppan. Riley wasn't ready yet, but he would address that problem when he saw him again. " It's a long story, and it's a lot to take in. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but after recent events there's no other choice. Pandora, would you like to explain Void first?"
Pandora grumbled under her breath before holding her hands out. " You understand elemental magic right?" She asked. " There are the basic ones like fire water wind earth ice and so on." As she said this a small orb appeared for each magic ability. " Then there'ss light and darkness." The orbs of light a darkness appeared. " These two elements are special. They are complete opposites of each other. But you can fuse these together to create much strong magic. When they combine they can form into wither chaos, like Lana uses, or twilight. It takes balance to do this. This tends on the person. A more neutral or good person usually ends up with twilight. Twilight users tend to be the caretakers or role models. If Iris balanced the two she would be a twilight user. A more evil, chaotic or indifferent person usually ends up with chaos. They tend to be chaotic, playful, and mischievous in nature and personality like Lana and Riley."
Pandora thought for a moment of how she would explain the next part. " But... there is another element, a secret element. It's called Void." As she said this the twilight and chaos orbs fused together and formed a red and black orb. " This can only be done by fusing both twilight and chaos. In order to do this one must master both twilight and chaos perfectly before they can even think of using void. It usually takes a couple eons, but it's worth it. You see upon mastering void you become immune to light, darkness, chaos, and twilight. That's why Lana here can barely touch me in battle. There are only three void users. Void himself, me.... and Shade."
With that exlained Pandora made the orbs disappeared. She took a step back before forming a green and black orb in the center of the room. The orb began to show them events of the past. It was then Madison started explaining what was going on. " Void was the god of destruction, and at the time the only void user. He was the most powerful of the gods, and hated mortals. He saw them unfit to live in the universe. He thought only immortals that could worship him forever were the only ones fit enough to live. When he tried to become leader and revealed his plans to purify the universe, he was rejected by the other gods. Void thought they were blinded by pride, for more mortals worshipped them than immortals. Void left the other gods, but he swore he would take his place as king of the gods. Some time pasted, and he came back. This time he was not alone. At his side were immortals he convinced to join him to kill all mortals. He promised them a pure universe where all would be perfect and holy. This led to war across the universe. At one point Void was being beaten back, thanks to Pandora here. But then.... Void hatched a plan. Sometime before the war he had created chaotic spirits. They were made to be immortal beings of mass destruction, and were to led him to victory."
Madison paused for a moment, starting to have second thoughts about this. Alistair already hated Riley. If he told them where the O'Malleys came from he could start to hate the others as well, and not trust them anymore. He already told him too much, there was no going back now. " He called them, the O'Malley's. That's where we originally came from. We had a unique ability thought impossible, the ability to create and control pure energy. We called it Psyiouries, or Psy for short. We were limited by only our imagination. At the head of Void's new super race.... was me. I was Jack O'Malley, unequal in swordsmanship and Psy abilities. I... used to be a psychopathic monster. I was insane and was the most brutal person on the battle field. Ren got his insanity from me. I earned the title Jack the Ripper. After a fighting a one sided war for some time, we grew bored of following Void. We took interest in other things? Void then took away our free will. I gained my free will back after Pandora finally defeated me."
" It was then the other gods teamed up with the freed O'Malley's to defeat Void. We took his power away from her. And that power was put into seven gems, the void gems like the one Metal Riley tried to take from Iris. Then Void was spilit into two different beings. His mind, conscious and will became a woman named void. His raw power became Cefious, an immortal being of mass destruction. They were both sealed away. Before she was sealed away, Void swore she would come back. She even said an O'Malley would bring her back. She called them the void trigger. Us O'Malleys went into hiding after that, for we became the most hated beings in the universe. We later disguised ourselves as Gales. I later got the change and took the name Madison, as you see now."
Lana finally spoke up then. " Sometime ago, we had reason to believe there are people trying to bring Void back." She said. " They called themselves the sinster seven. We have no idea who these people are or where they came from. We only know of a certain keyblader that's working with them. She.., has a strange and dangerous ability. She can take control of the minds of blood born O'Malleys. She already took over Ren's mind. She can also... make her keyblade transform. We think she knows who the void trigger is. You see... the void trigger not only is supposed to bring void back, but also kill void once and for all. At first upon learning this we didn't worry...but Madison went to the future... to find that everything was destroyed and Cefious ran rampant. Why Void didn't fuse back with him we have no idea. But it means they were able to break void's seal. They must have somehow convince or influence the void trigger not to kil void. Most likely the keyblader's mind control. To prepare for this we sent Riley, Nazo, and Shade off to become full goddesses. But now that Rebecca knows about the void gem this might not work. She could also know who the void trigger is, which could mean the end. You see... Riley is the Void trigger...."

It had been a lot to take in. Madison had Pandora explain the elements to them and how Void came to be. Pandora had showed them examples as she explained everything. How there had been only three Void users in the worlds. Ironically, only two of them Alistair already knew of. Saleth, on the other hand, just simply listened not really sure what this had to do with her or anything. Still, it seemed that she had been sucked into this. She might as well see it to the end, she supposed.
Eventually, Pandora formed spheres and they were allowed to see events of the past taking place before them all. Madison had taken the lead in explaining now. As they all listened, Madison explained there were beings of mass destruction that Void had created. He...well she had hesitated for a moment. Then, finally, revealed these beings were the O'Malleys.
Alistair simply creased his brows but said nothing. It was true, there was no going back at this point when Madison brought it up. However, what Alistair thought of the others remained yet to be seen. It had been true that he hated Riley. Alistair would always hate him. Nothing could ever make him like Riley. Alistair only respected him enough to not try to attack him or cause conflicts of that kind for the sake of Iris. As for the rest of the O'Malleys, Alistair didn't seem to take it out on them and had even showed respect to Derio and Lana. Actually, when it came to anyone from Riley's family that wasn't Riely, Alistair seemed to be an entirely different person. Now, that remained yet to be seen if that would remain the same or not.
Finally, when Madison and Pandora were finished, it was clear that Void had been separated into two beings. Void and Cefious. Apparently, in order to become whole, Void had to merge with Cefious. However, they never did. According to whom had visited the future, that's what had happened. The Void trigger was eventually revealed to be Riley. Alistair let out an exasperated sigh upon hearing this. Of all the things why did it have to be Riley?! He never really took things seriously!
"So...what do we do about it?" Saleth asked. Might as well figure out what they were all going to do about the situation. Alistair seemed to be in no condition to ask. His palm had been firmly planted on his forehead, as if he were despairing already. He didn't seem to have any confidence in the matter at all. Saleth wasn't sure but she guessed that he had his reasons. She had nothing to do with their conflicts at home.

Madison stod there for a moment as Alistair didn't say anything. At first she regretted telling him here they came from. Right now however, there were more pressing matters. She then looked at Saleth. " We'll have to make sure this void gem stays safe, and where it came from. We'll also have to make sure the other void gems stay out of Rebecca and the seven's hands. Even though Void will need all seven gems to gain full power and fuse with cefious, it is possible they can break the seal with just one. There is no doubt in my mind that if Void does come back, she'll be able to track down the gems easily. They do have her power after all."
Madison then looked at Lana. She had the gem, but whenever Iris recovered she would most likely want it back. Considering the fact Iris was married to Riley, and the relationship her family had with hers, she would have to know all this too. " Lana, whenever Iris gets better, I want you to explain everything to her. She trusts you. Whenever you see Derio again, get him to tell her father. He could convinve him not too loose trust in us. If you find out anything about the seven let me know right away. That keyblader can control blood born O'Malley's, if she knew my orgin and took over my mind....." Madison didn't finish. The thought of what she would make her do was too much.
Lana nodded to her. She had been preparing for this with them, but it was happening so soon. She wasn't even back to full power yet. It didn't look like it, but she was stll recovering from the explosion of the original world. Hopefully she would regain her powers before things got worse. She looked back at Alistair, Saleth, and Drake. " Let's go back and check on Iris." She told them. " Derio could also go back there any minute. It would be best to get things moving before the other side does." She looked at Pandora, who opened a portal for them. Before Lana went through it she spoke. " Whenever Riley gets back, don't tell him about this. I fear that if we tell him too soon, he would act to hasty. But do, however, tell him to see us, there is something we have to give him. Also get him to bring Nazo and Shade with him." Lana nodded to her before looking at the others. Giving them a serious look, she went in the portal.
