ActFast231

@, @, @, Nexus looked down at the object of his affection, a thoughtful gaze occupying his eyes. "Well...I'm not opposed to sharing a room. It would certainly conserve space." He looked back up to Karma, again, deep in thought. "If the mutants grow more resistant to light magic the more it is used, maybe hitting them one at a time is not an option. Couldn't we find a way to maybe...hit them all at once? Maybe w-" Nexus was cut off by a feeling of...darkness. A disturbance. Nexus shivered and let out a shudder, almost looking pained. "W-what the hell? D-did anypony else f-feel that? It felt like, like the entire area just got darker. If that makes sense." (Idea: Why not have the Tarot holders be able to sense the Presences dark energy?)

@, @, Nexus stood, impressed by the apparent feats of this pony. Of course, it has left him scarred. Nexus knew more about that than anypony. But they have healed well. "Well, it all started when I arrived at the Canterlot University. I was there to learn about any old ruins that might hold loot or changeling infestations. It was where most of us met. The headmaster called us all into his office, and offered a contract for an expedition into the Crystal Empire. Or what's left of it. This is exactly what I was looking for. "However, as soon as we reached the transport meant to take us, we were sedated and taken to Delvia. We awoke and quickly established groups and a plan. I went with a fellow Tarot holder and a survivor to the town hall, where I found an alchemy book-" Nexus pulled the book out of his chestplate and held it up with his wing. "And a demon with a giant robot and an army of mutated squid ponies. After he captured the other two, and a back and forth between me and the demon summoned by the Presence himself, I fought the giant robot, and killed it. This demon was working on a way to release the Presence and it looks like he succeeded. We were saved by Lord Inquisitor Moon Crypt, and brought back to his base of operations. A few things happened here. We learned what our Tarot cards were, I fell in love with Lume here," He emphasized this by wrapping a wing around her and giving her a tight squeeze. Which is hard to do to a pony outfitted like a damned tank. "And two psychotic mercenaries fused together into a single body...Well actually that part is a secret, but let's just say that is was pretty weird. It is worth mentioning that I didn't always look the way I do. The Justice card has been healing me physically, mentally, and internally. As well as changing my appearance to match my behavior. "I also wanted to ask about the possibility of getting a few mages to use some light magic to restore the mutants in Delvia."

@, @, Nexus said nothing as they entered the elevator. He did however during the ten minute wait remove his helmet. His Mohawk mane was now a deep silver, rather than a black and blue combo. His features looked softer and less worn. His eyes, having been green, were now a pale blue, almost grey. His coat, once midnight blue, was now a regular blue, close to sky blue. He had but a few scars left, but that couldn't be seen under armor. He took out the PDA that he received and started flipping through the Codex for any useful or interesting knowledge. The elevator doors opened as he finished reading about the theory of anthropomorphic transformations using the genetic codes of some strange race called the 'humans.' He put the PDA away and placed the helmet under his wing before entering a large audience hall. When the cloaked figure revealed his face, Nexus nearly dropped his helmet. He placed it gently on the ground. He was fascinated. He had cybernetics covering half of his face. Then he spoke. Nexus knelt down. "My name is Nexus Tersona. Professional changeling hunter, long time scavenger, tomb raider, and explorer. Wielder of the Tarot Card Justice, and first born son of the deceased Inquisitor Axel Tersona, sir."

I c wat u did der

@, @, Nexus has never seen Canterlot so abandoned. Everypony was cowering in their homes, and those outside looked scared. All he could do was give them sympathetic looks as he walked by. When he saw the King standing on a balcony, that sealed the mood. He secretly wanted to help him, but he knew that their plan would not be quick enough. Down the elevator, something that no longer surprised him, he saw a hub of activity for the Inquisitors. Looking around, he saw ponies of all kind. The hunter swore he could of seen an odd cross between pony and snake. He noticed that they were the most heavily armed ponies present, as most had cloaks. "Wait a second..." Nexus was forming an idea. "How many mages are here? Do you think they could generate a large amount of light magic?"

@, @, "Thank you. We will make haste. And good luck with that bat pony." Nexus turned to face the others. "Come on, everypony. If we hurry, we can be in Canterlot within a day's time." The party walked through the gate, making there way down the path leading to the capital. When they were far enough that nothing would be heard from the Guards, Nexus spoke to the others, Solar Flare and Lume specifically. "That was very nearly a bloodbath. You two need to learn some patience. Killing any obstacle we come across isn't always the best solution to a problem. Though given the enemy we fight, there will be plenty of that." He gave the two a stern look before facing the road again, never having stopped walking. (Maybe a few posts then just jump a day.)

@, @, Nexus looked back and gave a very bored look to Lume, before turning back to the Guard. "Please excuse her, she has always had an...interesting sense of humor. But that's just part of why I love her." He gave a deep sigh, before continuing. "But she is partially true. There is another bat pony here. A remnant of the Royal Guard, as we have gathered. He came here on his own accord to loot the cities left behind. We have had our own share of issues with him. Anyway, here is the proof you require." Nexus reached under his chest piece, and pulled out the contract from the Headmaster when he was first contracted for this mission, handing it to the Guard. "It states an expedition to the Crystal Empire as a way of side stepping the red tape and protocol for an expedition across the river." He stated plainly.
