Putting Things Back Together Again

[Kaschei]

Kaschei sits in his office staring out the window at the falling snow. For some amuzement, he reverses time and causes the snow to fall upwards back into the clouds. But he soon grows bored of his little trick.

He decides that he will try once again to contact Archetype 401. He sends a messenger to Archetype and tells the machine that if he wants a mission he should attack Peter the Owl. Peter the Owl is currently training in Lapland.

This is a mission that Red Infinity commonly gives new operatives. Everyone knows that Peter is powerful and few expect a newbie to win the fight. However, it is a good test of their potential.

[Tyhjä]

Tyhja appears at the battle between Satsujin and the mortals. Months ago, when the battle first started, he was defeated by Satsujin. He used all of his powers against him until nothing remained but a crystal statue of his former self.

But, since he is immortal and part of the void, with time, he was able to return, even if it was not at full power.

He now stands before Satsujin and sees the delimma. There is no one to wield the kampa against the evil god.

"I will find Tensuo and bring him here. This must be ended."

Tyhja teleports to the Helsinki base and starts looking for Tensuo.

[Lemminkainen]

I take a sauna and head back inside the farmhouse in Lapland. The fireplace has made the house nice and warm. Outside it starts to snow pretty heavily.
"I hope Peter and Lena don't get stuck out in the snow. Can't say I didn't warn those two."
I kick off my snow covered boots and play my kantele by the fire.

[Zex]

i barge into the farmhouse and see that Lemminkainen is playing his stupid weird instrument.

"d**n it, i have to prove to Surma that i care about Genki and the others or else he won't bring them back to life. i don't know what to do."

i sit by the fire and am angry like usual.

[Lemminkainen]

"You have the four soul eggs, so why don't you just visit Kippumaki and ask Ukko to bring them back?"

[Zex]

i admire the four eggs. but they don't do a thing for me.

"i still need a map or something. I have the eggs but what good are they if i don't know where Kippumaki even is. this just really sucks."

i poke the fire with a stick and it makes me feel a little better.

[Lemminkainen]

"What you need to do Zex, is find someone really old. Someone, older than me. Like...some kind of immortal who might know. There are a lot of dragons and spirits and things around. Someone has to like know where it is."

[Zex]

i look at Lemm and sigh.

"this is all stupid, i don't care if our friends come back or not, i just don't care. all of this is just too much work."

[Lemminkainen]

"C'mon Zex, I know you don't really like mean that. Just try again. This time go out searching for someone really really old.
There's got to be someone around here that knows where Kippumaki is."

[Zex]

"fine, i'll leave tomorrow. this sucks but whatever. I am going to get some rest. Don't play that stupid finnish instrument thingy too loud or i'll blow it up with my laser gun. night."

i walk to my room at the lapland rebel HQ. this just sucks. sucks sucks sucks sucks. i lay in bed and think about how much i hate doing things for people.

[Lemminkainen]

I play my kantele quietly so I don't wake up Zex. What a grumpy kid.

[Tristen]

After ordering his food, Tristen carefully took his food to one of the tables and sat in the chair. He quickly whipped out the burger and unwrapped it, pouring his french fries next to it. He sighed heavily with a relieved smile on his face and sank his teeth into the steamy burger. After taking a bite and swallowing.. he let out a loud squeak... this... is the best burger.. in the history.. of burgers....

[Zex]

i can hear lemm playing his stupid instrument, but i decide not to yell at him or blow it up. i guess i am getting soft.

[Ukko]

Ukko sits in his office at the International Red Infinity HQ in Beijing. He is disturbed today. He knows that Zex has the four soul eggs which means that the young space traveler could enter his secret abode. This does not settle well with him, since any mortal who comes to his home, he must grant them whatever they wish.

He sits uncomfortably in his desk. He is in his old man form today, which is his usual form when he is on Earth. He knows that he will have to send someone to kill Zex.

Ukko sends a message to any operative looking for a mission that he or she should travel to Lapland where Zex is staying. They should attack the child and make him abandon his quest to bring the four soul eggs to Kippumaki.




(To anyone in Red Infinity who wants a mission)

[Lemminkainen]

As I am playing, I break a string on my kantele.

"Darn, guess I have to go to town and get another string."

Since I am bored now that I can't play, I get some rest in the chair.
