Dusk Chapter 2; Mysteries of Manna and Technology

With the Public Address to the Dusk handled and the crowd allegedly under control, Queen Archdeath had made her way back to the home she'd claimed from her foster family during her memory lapse. Though it had the Tensei charm to it now, there was still a certain homliness that reminded her of her foster family, as well. The large, floating lavender manor lowered to the ground before her feet in time with her step and thought, as if all were linked together as one. The gothic lolita flying fortress scooped Queen Archdeath through the front door and shut promptly behind her before taking off back over the Fairy Fountain of the Dusk.

"Damn," was the first thing out of her mouth as she threw off her heels, which would fly off in front of her and into random darkness, "That took forever." Her house, though tidy and dainty, was rather grim and macabre inside; something like a sadistic playhouse. The floor was checkered, yet with a black and lavender print instead of the usual black and white. This color scheme flooded the house, the lavender giving it a certain spectral glow, as if great spiritual energy emanated all around. "... I hope there's still some pizza or something... I'm starving." Shuffling cutely toward the kitchen, Shinritha kicked off lightly into the air, hovering gently with her wings lightly encircling her body like a parachute. "... I can get outta this dress..." she carried on, her spiderprint dress that looked to be of very fine and delicate fabric shifting suddenly to some spiderprint leggings that hugged her thighs whilst her top, a loose fitting threadline mini-shirt. "Wewt~!"

When she finally reached the kitchen, she would find that there was a box of pizza that still remained. "Sweet." Flipping the box open, a white glint appeared in her ivory eye at the very sight of the pizza. It was divided up evenly and had been untouched. "Cold, but whatever." She snatched up a piece and took a bite out of it, then floated off into the living room and hurled herself on the couch. "Frankieeeeee," she groaned with affection, "... What's next on the list of crap we gotta do before we can... Do whatever." The fatigue was clear in her voice. Though Shinritha was a very intelligent young lady, she had never done a public address before, and being exposed to something new like that was taxing to even someone of power, such as herself. Just lying on the couch and gazing up at the ceiling was slightly therapeutic, but even though Shinritha wanted to rest, she also wished to keep in mind what her tasks were so that in her leisure, she could prioritize. "Just like, tell me now and I'll get to it... You know... Whenever." She waved her hand at the random darkness that filled the fullness of her non-lit house, as if something were there with her.

Shinritha, the eldest of the Tensei Triplets, is the 'Peace of the Dusk,' the Goddess that is tasked with overseeing the entire continent of Midna, The Spectral Dusk. She frequently refers to this as being a 'Kage.' She rules over all death as the 'Archdeath', the 'Second Death', and uses her Absolution; Absolute End, the numerous Deadlines of Father Time and the Fate of the Past, who cuts the threads of spacetime.

Her Manna is Mechanica, which allows her total control over machines. With the 'Eyes Of The Spider Queen', she is capable of seeing through each of her different Restrictions simultaneously, as well as utilize whatever capabilities are embedded within her Eyes in each different Restriction.

"Miss Shini?" a sweet and loving voice, something like a small child, called out softly from the shadows, "You're home?" From the dark shadows upon the ceiling, a silvery sphere suddenly slipped out of the umbra and into the only very dim light of the room, fit with a strange, deep violet glow. It hovered down slowly into her hand, immediately synchronizing with her power and assimilating its thoroughly calculated knowledge with her. "The Next Mission Is To Begin The Restoration Of Mechanica. We Should Station The Castle In The Factorial City To Manage The Mass Production Of The Machines." There was much Data that Franquere had collected in the shadows whilst Queen Archdeath was dealing with her public affairs, already having calculated the personal matters that needed to be attended to for her in her absence. "Also, To Get The Dusk Citizens Familiarized With The Translation Of 'Magic' Into 'Manna' So That The Creative Energy May Be Fully Recognized To Completion By The Mechanica To Utilize, You Will Need To Introduce Them To Technology And Terminology In The Dusk, As Well As Understand How To Use Your Own 'Manna' In The Process." Franquere was handling the industrial work and deeper mechanics of the Factorial City within the darkness like an engineer, preparing everything for when it was time for true production of their operation.

Shinritha continued to gaze up lifelessly at the ceiling, tongue hanging out of her mouth and lids low. It looked like she was really drained. When Franquere was done speaking, she muttered under her breath, "Yeah... yeah... I got it..." Raising the Metal Pumpkinhead up into the air, Shinritha lazily called upon a small bit of her Ultimetia Energia and focused it into the sphere. "Atlas~..." she called out lackadaisically, her 'Ultimate Atlas' technique spreading itself all throughout her house. It was quickly illuminated like a planetarium and she was able to view her most recent target points based on the information given to her by the Metal Pumpkinhead's gathered data. When it had fully filled her house, Shinritha would release the Metal Pumpkinhead from her hand and let it float there sustaining the Ultimate Atlas until Shinritha was ready to get up and deal with it.

Once the Ultimate Atlas was sprawled out over the entire house, the Metal Pumpkinhead would begin to isolate coordinates that needed to be handled immediately by both Shinritha and itself. From there, Shinritha would be alerted to each of this points and their positions would be maintained as Red Dots on the Ultimate Atlas.

Shinritha rested for a while in a hypnotic trance-like meditative catatonic state, something like a slowly dying person that had come to peace with their life and imminent death, gazing up at the ceiling and processing all the information she was getting. It was all tiresome, but it was actually exciting her to acquire this sort of wisdom and power. "Manor To Factorial City," she commanded, the input registering and the entire floating house beginning to rise into the air. Once it was clear over the trees, it would be on its way toward Mechanica's Factorial City.

When she finally felt like she didn't want to be lazy anymore, she got herself up off the couch and scratched her head, which now had rather messy and unkempt hair that she didn't seem to care about fixing in the slightest. "Kaaaay Frankieeee... I'm up... I'm up." Standing to her feet and stretching a bit, with a tired yawn, Shinritha would look around the room with a nonchalant gaze, leisurely pointing out all of the marked targets. Once she did, then she would not take her eyes off of them. "URGRAAAH!!!" she groaned deeply and loudly like an animal, in what sounded to be both pain and anger, before all along her head, from front to back, extra eyes sprouted open with the gruesome sound of flesh tearing forcefully, glowing bright red and focused on each of the targets. These were her spider queen eyes, of which she could focus on multiple targets all at once with. "Now I'm ready... So whenever you wanna get this show on the road, Frank, start testing me on the Manna." Before she got started, she would be sure to send Manor Malfortuna on its course to the Factorial City, so that she could simply be training all during the flight.

"Right Away, Miss Shini," he said kindly, smiling at his mistress lovingly. "By the way, 'The Siren' has gone off in Valparaiso, if you'd care to awaken your Spirit and prepare the Cemetery." Because of the events occurring currently, Franquere made humble suggestions on accurate calculations on all situations at all times, and therefore would speak on them politely in as much of a humane manner as possible in order to communicate them as they were maneuvering.

'Raja Tahdoa'

Shinritha would have to translate and manifest this Creative Energy in the form of her specified Manna, wherein she would not only replicate, but also learn the technique at the same time. This was only if she were to replicate properly. If not, then the energy would take on its own form independent of her and become sentient energy that would do as it willed independent of Shinritha's will.

"Oh really? You're getting everything ready for me?" He was such a great helper. "Thanks for reminding me, Frankie~! Heh heh heh..." Shinritha could see into the Metal Pumpkinhead about all of the things that were going on in the shadows, of which her spider eyes were affixed to. After dealing with whatever scoundrel was slithering around in the darkness, the dark power source of Valparaiso was active again, and that could be used as a great power source. She could already feel its power surging within her just from its activation. "Mmm..." Embracing that darkness, Shinritha stepped dreamily off into the cosmically lit interior of her home, hovering gently through the spacious expanse and into a different corridor of her manor lackadaisically, calculating the scenario.

Spoiler:

"Level 4... Mechanical Wall." That was the translation of the Creative Energy into Common Language, and the energy that was within it would be transliterated into a state of energetic replication by Shinritha just from her being able to translate it directly. Lifting one of her Materia Wings into the air, the black energy would take on the form of a large, thick metal wall filled with replicated cybernetic technology. It would place itself in the doorway between Shinritha and the Metal Pumpkinhead, acting like a door. "Heh. This is fun already." She wondered what else she could do. Franquere would be teaching her how to use her Manna properly, so she hoped that she could get the gist of it before they landed in the Factorial City. She wanted to get started with it right away.

Her Manna is Mechanica, which allows her total control over machines. With the 'Eyes Of The Spider Queen', she is capable of seeing through each of her different Restrictions simultaneously, as well as utilize whatever capabilities are embedded within her Eyes in each different Restriction.

"Correct," Franquere would recite, hovering through the wall and around the mechanical wall now serving as a doorway, "... You seem to know how to manipulate your Creative Energy, but do you know what your Manna is, Miss Shini?" Even if one was able to use the power of Manna, there was the capability to have a specified manna that would deal with how each individual utilized their Creative Energy personally rather than generally. "It should have its own personal quality and effect that is an attribute of your mind and how it Creates Energy." If she did not know what it was nor how to discover it, she would now. As she did, Franquere would systematically recite the next set of Manna for Shinritha to translate, until she had gotten the hang of it for herself. He would teach her everything she needed to know along the way to have her ready for leading the people in terms of how to use Manna and Technology together.

'Digashiru Luxudo'

"I'll deal with the technical stuff later," she'd say nonchalantly, hovering through her house and searching information casually about what the next Spell would be. "Besides... I think I could use a refresher, anyways." She waved her hand about leisurely, as if brushing off the work, kicking a leg up over the other as she drifted along in thoughtful calculation.

'Digashiru Luxudo'

Spoiler:

"Growing Shield of Strengthening Light?" That one seemed to be a little more of a difficult translation due to the placement of the words, but seemed to make some sort of sense. Her eyes flashed bright red for a moment and a large red barrier would burst around her body, pulsating outward as an expanding force field. "Woah!!" Shinritha cried, falling out of the sky. "Holy crap, some of these things are loaded!" Once she translated one of the Spells and released its energy, it would begin to take an immediate effect through any means of her own Creative Energy from her body. If she didn't know what it was going to do nor what the effects were when activating one of the Spells, it would not only drain her, but also have an effect she wasn't prepared for. After catching her breath from the surprise, Shinritha stood up and took a deep breath. "... And it's mine now! HEEHEEHEE!!!" Overjoyed, she would turn to Franquere in her excitement and extend her hand out to the Metal Pumpkinhead, palming it with a hand like a vampirical claw, "FRANQUERE!!! Kick it up a notch! Stop going easy on me!" Even if she had to translate these techniques, she wanted to have a little more fun about doing so. "What else ya got?"

Her Manna is Mechanica, which allows her total control over machines. With the 'Eyes Of The Spider Queen', she is capable of seeing through each of her different Restrictions simultaneously, as well as utilize whatever capabilities are embedded within her Eyes in each different Restriction.

"Since you have become familiar with how to translate the Manna, it's time to learn how to Direct your Manna." Immediately, Franquere would begin drawing up the data for both he and Shinritha to mentally share and review like data on a computer screen throughout the area around them. "Directing your Manna is guiding where you wish for the effects to take place after you have decided what you want the effects of your Manna to be. You can direct them by giving directions through your Command Input. From here on, I will be showing you how to use the Command Input system. First, we will start off with the 'Basic Command Template.'" At that moment, the data for the Basic Command instructions that were recorded in the Tensei files would come up for Shinritha to view directly.

"The Basic Command Template is for giving Direct Orders to Specified Objects or Subjects. It is more advanced than the Simplified Command Template because it is less general and gives more definition and form to the direction of the energy, rather than it flowing about freely and uncontrollably when released. This helps to restrain the effects of the Creative Energy upon release to ensure that they come out in a controlled environment and do not end up being released wildly, as you had just recently done."

'Eyes :: Chajutema'

From there, Shinritha would have to translate exactly what the Spell was as well as direct it to her Eyes so that its energy would emerge from her eyes specifically and not anywhere else on her body.

Shinritha listened halfheartedly to Franquere, gathering the data for herself as he spoke, but still payed attention to what he was saying to make sure she didn't miss the next Spell.

'Chajutema'

Spoiler:

"Mechanical Charge..." Shinritha recited from her translations, a certain digital sheen glimmering in each of her eight eyes, "From the Eyes!" At that moment, all of the electronic devices within eyesight would suddenly become active with energy, even if they were not plugged in or turned on. They would be as if they were sentient and charged with their own source of electrical power, which was coming from Shinritha, herself, who was powering them with her eyesight alone. "Frankie, this is awesome," she said flat out, walking over to the nearest one and having it levitate with just a surge of her thoughts. "Dude, is there more? Please tell me there's more." She seemed to be having a good time. Nice relief to a stressful day doing something she really didn't particularly feel like doing. It was just so stiff out in the public eye, and she couldn't really stand it. She'd much rather keep to herself and chill out and relax in her manor. Hopefully, the Dusk Citizens could manage. Chroma was there, so Shinritha wasn't worried.

"Patience, Miss Shini," Franquere insisted after she completed her next task, "There is so much more to learn and a great deal of time to learn it. You will be guided more after we land in the Factorial City. In the meantime, I will teach you one more thing before you must then show me what you have learned." The floating metallic head hovered over to her, drifting aimlessly down the corridor alongside Shinritha. "Since You Have Learned How To Designate Your Creative Energy To Your Body, You Must Now Learn How To Direct It With Simple Directions. I Will Show You, And Then You Must Replicate. Afterward, You Will Be Assessed Through Sparring."

'Front :: Mega Barrier'

What Franquere had not told Shinritha was that she could do something highly advanced and mix the Creative Energy of the Veritas with already created energies that already existed, which gave normal creations added effects and boosts based on the Manna they were equipped with. "Just As Manna Can Be Equipped To The Body, This Same Creative Energy Can Be Equipped To Other Concepts That You Can Think Of, As Well, Such As Everyday Objects." This would be important for her education.

Shinritha licked her lips with anticipation, already tasting how she was going to use all of this juicy data for her own little fun games. She did enjoy games of all variety, just like her father, who taught her everything she knows about them. He was still teaching her, even now, through her time with Franquere. "I knew you wouldn't let me down... Frankie~!" She was so lucky to have an awesome family that took the time to make such things for her to have and enjoy, even if it wasn't specifically for her, but the entire family as a whole.

"Front :: Mega Barrier"

Calling out the command, she would point to Franquere, who was in front of her, and unleash directly in front of her a powerful force that would blow Franquere away and suddenly suspend itself as a barrier wall between the two of them. Shinritha smiled and cackled maniacally, as she sometimes did when she was excited. "HEEHEEHEE~~!!! MORE, FRANKIE!!! MOOOORE!!!"

-RED ALERT.-
-RED ALERT.-
"NOW APPROACHING FACTORIAL CITY."

It seemed just as things were about to get interesting between Queen Archdeath and her training partner, they were arriving at their destination.

"PREPARE FOR DESCENT."

Manor Malfortuna would suddenly fall from the sky, hurdling down toward the vacant space in the Factorial City, where there would be something waiting for the Queen upon their arrival.

"TRAINING HALTED."
"WILL RESUME SCHEDULED DUTIES AFTER PROTOCOL IS MET."

When they finally landed, a door of darkness would manifest upon Franquere's command, and the floating Metal Pumpkinhead would begin to float into it.

"SHINRITHA TENSEI, BE ESCORTED INTO THE FACTORIAL CITY."

He did not pause to wait for her, but moved as though he were following outside orders. Wherever Franquere would lead her, that would come first before he taught her what he knew about Manna and Technology, or before they continued their training.

"Aw, dammit, Frankie," Shinritha said with a pout, "I thought I had more time..." Maybe she'd wasted a bit too much for her liking, but that would be dealt with soon. As for right now, all she could do was follow behind him and see what was in store for her at the Manor's new location in the Factorial City, where it and Shinritha would remain. Touching the ground, she would walk through the dark door and be led wherever Franquere would lead.

--Minor Timeskip--

Shinritha, who had been placed gently back into her bed by her father, would remain resting for a long while after their initial conversation. She was still very tired, since the events she went through were so strenuous on her very soul. However, in her recovery, she seemed to be sleeping peacefully and having good dreams due to the loving nature of her last excursion.

She rules over all death as the 'Archdeath', the 'Second Death', and uses her Absolution; Absolute End, the numerous Deadlines of Father Time and the Fate of the Past, who cuts the threads of spacetime.

Her Manna is Mechanica, which allows her total control over machines. With the 'Eyes Of The Spider Queen', she is capable of seeing through each of her different Restrictions simultaneously, as well as utilize whatever capabilities are embedded within her Eyes in each different Restriction.

Some time during her rest, since it was clear that even after however long it had been, Queen Archdeath had not risen from her slumber, Franquere, who was once overseeing the Manufactory outside, would return to her through a peel of darkness in her room. The strip of a shadow was enough for the menacing red glare to penetrate, and the blaring voice like a siren to alert thee young mistress.

WARNING.
SHINRITHA TENSEI.
MALIGN CODE DETECTED IN MECHANICA.

Franquere heard the voice of all Mechanica, and thus knew all logic that was within them.

"TARGET :: BLUE MOON."

This was the Tensei Moon that she was designated to protect, and it had become a target for another being.

"LOCATION :: THE OLD COLONY."

This was near the 'Scrap Yard,' where the graveyard of Machines existed. One of the defective ones must have still been functioning, and was malfunctioning. That, or someone had gotten their hands on one and it was being used for a malignant purpose.

"Awaiting Orders, Miss Shini."

"BWAAAH!!!" Shinritha cried out as the sudden scream of the voice of Franquere was like a bloody knife in each ear. "DAMMIT, FRANQUERE!!!" she hissed, her eyes blazing just the same red as his. She gathered herself, hopping up at attention, now suddenly alert (since she'd been alerted to the threat.) "... What? The moon?" Shinritha sighed, definitely wanting to remain asleep. She needed her strength in order to be ready to learn more about Manna and how it worked with Technology so that the Dusk could learn them both simultaneously. But apparently, she didn't have time to rest. "What even has the power to blow up the damn moon, anyway?!" She was aware that some of the Mechanica were naturally equipped with very powerful battle functions, but some of them were meant to do things to keep the city maintained in those large-scale ways artificially. "I don't feel like going ALL the way back up there." And she also didn't feel like having Franquere leave his position of tending to the Robot Army being cultivated in the Manufactory. Sending him wasn't an option right now.

"Wait~a~minute~!" She said with a suddenly gleeful, yet slightly malicious joy, "Guess who just inherited a Robot Death Army?" Now she was kinda happy that she didn't have to get up at all. Although, the next thing was... She did still have to learn more Manna. It seemed like training was taking forever. Then again, knowing how Frankie operated, he would just blare a siren out and get her for whatever she needed to do, so Shinritha figured she could rest a little longer. "Just mobilize the Mechanica and have them deal with it properly." Shinritha waved her hand lackadaisically, cackling lowly to herself. "Heeheehee~!!" She dropped back down into her bed and closed her eyes, with a smile on her face.

"Right Away, Miss Shini." Franquere closed his eyes and the piercing red glow in the designated shadow located in her room faded. "Will Resume Regularly Scheduled Duties After Maintenance." His presence faded.

-Short Time Skip-

After some time, with Queen Archdeath given more time to rest, the Servicemen of Manor Malfortuna would return and keep the household well kempt and clean whilst she continued to sleep. They would not disturb her in her quarters, but tend to the rest of the household around her own.

Sooner or later, Shinritha, herself, arose from her slumber all on her own. She still looked tired, with a pale face and ghastly, sunken eyes that were a piercing blood red, something like her father's. She blinked a few times, and they would return to their normal black and white inverted discoloration. She sighed heavily and scratched her ruffled blonde hair, looking around her dark room some. "Shit. What time is it...?" Shinritha yawned and got herself up, stretching her arms out. "... Gotta get back to learning that Manna so I can program it into the Dusk's Manna-powered Technology System." That was important for the next stages of development of the Dusk, to get them up to speed on MannaTech, which some thought was some sort of magic or something. They needed to be educated on what 'Manna' is and how it also functions by itself and along with Technology. "Franquere..." Queen Archdeath called morosely, summoning her loyal and faithful partner to her side.

"The Target Has Resurfaced," the cold, dead voice of the mechanical servant, Franquere, bellowed from the depths of Queen Archdeath's shadow. "Visual." Within Queen Archdeath's shadow, Chusin would become visible within the Lawless Lands, having been traced to and fro everywhere she went ever since the machines were sent after her. "Reinitializing 'Practice' Mode." From that point on, Franquere would give Queen Archdeath her instructions.

"You Will Receive A Live Feed From The Manna Of The Veritas To Shape Into Your Own Specific Manna. Practice Utilization Of Techniques. Further Explanation After Target Practice. Programming Is Automatic."

Whatever sort of things Queen Archdeath came up with would immediately be placed into the Dusk's technology through Master Control, and each of the Mechanica from there would have access to the standard Manna that Queen Archdeath created for them.

"Target Sight~ed?" Shinritha said in a singsonging voice, briskly turning around to meet the eye of her shadow on the ground and peer into the reflection in the darkness, which revealed to her the exact location of the target. "Heeheehee~! Awesome." The Manna system had just been completed, according to her readings from the Metal Pumpkinhead, and now Franquere should have been ready. "Our latest subject is right on time, as usual, when it's time to test new features..." Never failed. Shinritha giggled to herself, peering down into the darkness with sharp eyes. "Let's see... What shall we try out first~?"

"Target Acquired." Chusin was snatched out of the ambiguous unknown she attempted to escape into and out of and instead found herself trapped inside of the cage-like prisonous jaws of the 'Metal Pumpkinhead.' The teeth of the metallic flaming skull were like prison bars, and on the inside of the skull was Chusin, locked out of the Veritas along with the realm she came from, which was in clear sight now that they all had resurfaced from the darkness. They'd been trapped inside of the Metal Pumpkinhead and sealed by the Tensei Curse and the Tensei Seal over them, so that they could not escape. The Chusin, which was the envoy of that place to test their overall progression as a planet, was not serving them well. "From The Present Specimen They Continue To Send As Their Envoy, It Is Clear That The Primitives Are Still Lost In The Darkness," Franquere rattled off with the rattling of the prisoners inside of his head, "Soon Fading Away. Shall We Allow Them To Pass Away And Deprive Them Further, That We May Watch Them Wither? Or Shall You Continue To Practice On The Prisoners As Scheduled?" When there were new variables present, there were new options for Queen Archdeath to take into account. Franquere merely recited them for her in order for her to be fully informed about her current choices in any given scenario. His face was still plastered upon her shadow, and Chusin would be in clear view within, behind bars, along with the planet she came from. They were in clear sight for her, if she would still Target them. "They're Open."

Shinritha smiled wide, revealing sharp, shiny fangs under what was once a restrained smirk. Her eyes widened to a maddening size, as if trying to hold back some sort of laughter. "And we'll just seep in through there." The entire planet was ready for her, just like her Father had promised her they would be when they were ripe. "Daddy is just so good to me~!" she huffed happily, her dark eyes sparkling at the sight of her favorite toy coming back to greet her. Where each of the members of the family were promised their own Worlds, consisting of their entire Universes, Shinritha Tensei was given 'Vescrutia,' the 'Lost World' as a present by her Father first during the Blue Moon. She was the first inheritor. "And here I was thinking that they'd just be a waste of space leeching from us, but no, they're about to be put to work... Most useful work, at that." They were going to power the Dusk for Queen Archdeath, as splendid servants would! "Goodie! I needed some things working under me in the background. Ohohoho~." Shinritha would haughtily laugh, now being thoroughly excited about spotting and toying with her latest target, and let her mind begin to calculate all the numerous ways to play with her toys in her toy box, which was an isolated dimension in and of itself.

"Hmmm... All the Manna I want, huh?" She was still contemplating what she would do first. There was a lot of Manna at her disposal, and peering into the Metal Pumpkinhead allowed her to witness it. Naturally, each chamber was isolated from each other, so when the Manna struck the Lost World, they wouldn't know what it looked like nor where it came from, and probably wouldn't be able to trace it back to the Veritas at all. That meant she could go nuts. "Why don't we start wiiiith... Yon Gatom!?" That seemed like it would be interesting. Queen Archdeath, who dealt with all such prisoners and quarantined existences, would point her hand down directly at the location where Chusin was and wait for the effects of 'Yongatom' to take their course, smiling with anticipation.
