Just What Are You Doing, Yelling Like a Madman?

The sun was ascending a range of snow-covered cliffs, the sunlight beginning to weave its way towards a monastery, but fell short and wove its way past an opened parasol as a lone figure sat there looking away from the sun as it impacted the umbrella and left him completely in the darkness that took the place of the coming days' light.

Tobias: "Is it a lovely sunrise? I think that it is." *takes a sip of his tea as he pours more into the saucer after finishing* "Care for some tea dear?"

A figure steps out of the temple and sits down in front of the Dominion, a female clad in leafy green robes with a palm-sized ovular ruby pendant around her neck and twigs and branches stuck in her equally green hair; Daisy, a mysterious girl of unknown origin that serves as one of Tobias' loyal friends and unwavering disciples.

Daisy 'Daze': "It would be nice master." *Tobias places an empty saucer on the tray and pours tea into it and slightly nudges it into the sunlight, making sure that the light doesn't even touch his hand, Daisy takes up the saucer when it was within her reach and took a slight sip from it before sighing with content* "Tea tastes so good in the morning, especially your tea master."

Tobias: "I would most definitely drink to that." *Lightly chuckles as he takes another sip from his saucer as he heard the sounds of birds chirping in the trees nearby. Looking over at the trees, Daze and Tobias both saw a very strange and otherworldly, ghostly and ethereal bird peering around before fixing its gaze upon the two of them.* "Well don't stand there on ceremony lad, come on over here nephew."

The bird shifted for a bit before scratching its talons on the branch gently before pushing off in flight and circling around the two of them before landing next to Daze, the dark grey feathers of the creature completely obscuring all else of the bird underneath. From the mass of feathers arose a metallic silver-haired, teenaged humanoid male wearing a dark grey robe, he held his left hand up with his pointer, pinky, and thumb curled up and his middle and ring fingers held up similar to a peace sign as he smiled warmly at them.

Gilgamesh: "Yoso Uncle Tobias. Yoso Daze."

Tobias: *Holds his hand in the same fashion* "Yoso Gilgamesh."

Daisy 'Daze': *Raises her hand normally* "Hi Gilgamesh. Where were you earlier this week?"

Gilgamesh: *Receives a cup of tea from his uncle* "I was out exploring the multi-dimensional labyrinth. And let me tell you, it was not an easy stroll through the park let me tell you that." * Takes a sip from his tea* "I practically ran into the Dimensional Constabulary at least two times for every…" *Uses his free hand to count as he muttered to himself* "15 Parallels and 4 Alternates every single time."

Tobias: "Still trying to find out what happened to her I see?"

Gilgamesh: "Yeah, I was also trying to figure out what in Valhalla is going on with the Imaginary World."

Tobias: *Chokes on his tea slightly* "Watch your language, my disciple!" *Coughs as he wipes his mouth*

Daisy 'Daze': "What is going on with the Imaginary World?"

Gilgamesh: "I don't know. When I got there, most of the locations were completely topsy-turvy since the last time I checked it out; it was close to destabilizing had I not reforged one of the Dreamstones that was shattered when I found its' appropriate shards. I tried to figure out what happened, but the D.C. chased after me because of all the alleged 'illegal dimension-jumping' I was doing." *Lowers his cup onto the saucer as he sighs heavily* "These people are 100 million years too young to be telling someone like me what I can and can't do."

Tobias: "Don't become a Fallen, my nephew. Many of us suffered already because of Fallen Ones like my brothers."

Gilgamesh: *Rolls his head around* "I know that, but the least the D.C. can do is have the clairvoyance to understand that what we are doing is absolutely necessary for the preservation of creation in its entirety."

Tobias: "The D.C. feel obligated to fend for themselves, taking the law into their own hands despite what we've seen as an aforementioned lack of general clairvoyant knowledge of creation itself."

Gilgamesh: "At least here in our home, the D.C. can't hope to even cross the threshold into our domain. They don't believe that our land even exists to begin with."

Daisy 'Daze': "Lucky for me, I might've been deported back to the nightmare that you escaped with me from."

Gilgamesh: *Holds Dazes' hand gently as he looked at her softly* "I know that you didn't want to be there."

Daisy 'Daze': *Looks solemn* "There was nothing at all left for me, not even a good memory that I can call my own. My mother died in childbirth, my people slaughtered in my childhood, my own father…" *Tears start to form in her eyes as she looks away*

Gilgamesh: *Pulls Daisy into an embrace* "…I know…"

The whole courtyard is bathed in everlasting silence as Daze tried to compose herself again, managing to dry off her tears and looking back to Tobias.

Daisy 'Daze': *Sniffling* "So how is their overall training coming along?"

Tobias: *Lowers his saucer* "Ah, Bens' Team have been somewhat taxing on a man like myself… curses, if only I were 48 billion centuries younger, than I'd whip them into shape in just about 12 hours. But I've been taking things slow, as they're 20 years too young to take things as fast as I did back when I was their age."

Daisy 'Daze': "The others have been managing all the logistical stuff in their absence." *Takes a sip of tea* "Local nuisances are being quelled…"

Cutscene showing Ssserpent being chased by four Dominion Field Agents wielding gun/sword-like weapons that fired ice rounds.

D.F.A.1: "Stand down and surrender, Scourge of Garuda!"

Ssserpent: "Creatorsss of Monssstersss, you ssshall not ssstop the plansss." *Sinks into the ground as the DFAs shoot at the ground around him*

D.F.A.2: "Ceasefire!" *The other three stopped their barrage as their commander pulled out a radio* "This is Patrol 3, We've lost trace of the objective."

Voice: *Over Radio* "No matter: we are of the underground, this serpent shall not hide from us for long."

Daisy 'Daze': "And the matter regarding the numerous awards that Ben receives has been averted…"

Cutscene showing Dracosian Ambassador Lukik teleporting away from what appears to be Ben (in actuality, it's a Dominion Infiltration Agent with an extremely convincing disguise on).

"Ben": "Alright then, time to place this medal with all the others." *Opens Bens' closet door to show a large pile of medals that starts to shift slightly toward him and begin to fall over* "Oh shit..." *the pile of awards collapse on top of the Infiltration Agent, burying him in medals* "Why did I agree to do this? 'Oh, come along; we'll get to see more of the way humans live this way, hooray!' talk about an idiot of Chica that I have." *Shoves his way out of the pile of medals as he hears the "WOOSH!" of a teleporter deactivate behind him offscreen* *quietly to himself* "Uhhhhhgh…" *Sighs with total discontent in his tone*

Daisy 'Daze': "…kind of. I'm planning on getting something to alleviate the Infiltrators burden, but it won't be done until 2 pm today."

Voice: *Offscreen and distant* "GODDAMMIT!"

Tobias: *looks over* "hmm? Did you hear something?"

Gilgamesh: "It's this new ringtone, someone keeps getting into my bedroom and stealing my communications." *Pulls out a ring-like device and places it against his ear* "Hello? Is that you Stanley? Just give me a second while I relay to Uncle Tobias." *Puts his hand on the speaker and turns to his uncle in the shade* "Stanley says that he managed to isolate the targets needed for his end of the mission and is relaying the coordinates for us."

Tobias: "Good job nephew. I knew that I made the right choice by assigning you this task Stanley. Aside from Mary, my nephew and Daze, you are one of the few people that I depend to get the job done."

Daisy 'Daze': "If Stanleys' doing this mission, than it'll be a while before he reaches Carlsbad, California, from what I read on the report for traffic in that area; it's backed up all the way into Sacramento right now."

Gilgamesh: "Inside one of the parallels, I visited a time similar to this one, but with separate similarities to ours along with a differing outcome that is entirely as predictable as one of those 21st Century, Saturday morning cartoons."

Tobias: "I forsee that it is nephew." *Takes the ring-like device from Gilgamesh as he places it against his ear* "Stanley, you have the go-ahead for reckless actions. Huh? Well I don't know what you should do, what do you think? Really? Well that seems a bit over-the-top. No I see your point, I tell you what; why don't you just jump out there to get their attention. Well what do you mean that it seems scary? You're an- oh, I get it. No they're all Helpers under the tutelage of a Magister, I'm sure they can handle something like you doing that to them. Okay then. Bai-bai." *Hangs up the ring as he hands it back to Gilgamesh* "All we can do now is wait, my friends."

Daisy 'Daze': "I know it'd defy all logic for my anatomy to say that I smell something, but I can still feel the smoke wafting against my skin." *Stands up as she walks around to the other side of Tobias's sun parasol and sees sunlight peering through a hole in the umbrella that sent a steady stream of light that made contact with Tobias' left hip and making it slowly burn and create a steady stream of smoke* "Master, I hate to startle you, but… your tailbone is on fire."

Tobias: *Slowly lowers his head* "Daze?"

Daisy 'Daze': "Yes master?"

Tobias: "Could you kindly grow a gigantic tree behind me whose shadow reaches all the way towards the temple?"

Daisy 'Daze': "Sure master." *Waves her hands as a large tree grows up out of the cracks in the ground that shields the umbrella, the sunlight itself weaving its way around the tree as it cast a long and darkened shadow towards the archways of the temple on the opposing side* "It is done master, do you need anything else?"

Tobias: "No… no I think I'm good for now." *Slowly begins to stand up* "I'll see you in a short while… goodbye."

The Dominion stood there as his nephew and apprentice stared at him as he slowly breathed in and unleashed a loud yell as he made a run for the temple all the while clutching his rear end screaming in pain from the sunlight that hit it, eventually crossing through the arches and bounding off one of the temples darkened corridors and out of sight entirely as his yells echoed about before fading away as he ventured deeper within.

Daisy 'Daze': *Looks over at Gilgamesh* "Your uncle is still a very strange man. Exactly which side of your family is he from?"

Gilgamesh: "What are you talking about? He's my uncle and just that."

Daisy 'Daze': "That still doesn't make any sense."
