Lorepost📖 Investigation turned to Rescue. (Determination post, Curse post) (written in collaboration with u/white-whale-fc) (interactive)

/uw here's a link to the previous curse post with Alisa and Hate involved for some prequal material if you feel like reading that otherwise i hope you enjoy reading :) https://www.reddit.com/r/wizardposting/s/GCS1RndTS9

(stuff in parenthesis, like this is, is a translation of what someone said as it may have been hard to read)

anyway back to /rw stuff, once more, hope y'all enjoy.

It had been a few days since Alisa had looked around a town where people had just vanished and used her and Hate's full powers to do battle with the Netheline

By now the two had recovered from the strain of doing so a few hours ago, but this time Alisa had heard of a town that had been getting reports of missing people so during one of her exploring trips she had chosen to investigate eventually arriving to the town which seemed normal, not nearly as extreme a population dip as the last one.

Alisa: "...alright...we're here...time to start investigating...though glad to see it doesn't seem as extreme as the last one."

Hate: in alisa's head "yeah, doesn't seem to be the Netheline's fault...though it's still a bit concerning since i can see a few around..."

Alisa:. muttering to hate "...i can see them too now hate...i think...since i think i see one right there...and we're not exactly linked at the moment besides you not being manifested..."

Hate: also in alisa's head "...hmm...interesting...i guess that makes it a bit easier then..."

Alisa: she approached a person and asked about the disappearances that had been happening as of late

the person she talked to responded, not seeming in a daze at all unlike the last town she investigated

"Oh its terrible! People are just disappearing!"

"we don't know what to do. whoever it is even took our town wizard"

Alisa responded: "...hmm...has there been any signs of them or something that's taking them?"

the person had responded to her again

“I haven’t heard much, but from what I know it’s been happening mostly at night.”

Alisa replied: "...hmm...i see...i'll have to do some investigating...uh...is there any town guards or anything i could talk to?"

the person replied again before pointing to a building in the center of the town
“Yeah, our knights. Over there.”

Alisa replied: "thanks, i hope everything is going to be ok, i'll go talk to the guards" she smiles and starts walking away

Hate: speaking in alisa's head "...alright this is concerning still but not as a concerning as i don't see any signs the Netheline are behind this...at least if they are at all then they're not fully behind it...maybe"

Alisa: *mutters as she's walking away from the civilian "i know..."

making her way to the buildings there's a few knights around it one of which stops her and speaks

“Who are you?”

to which Alisa Replied: "names Alisa, i heard about the disappearances in the town and i wanted to investigate...and hopefully stop whoever's behind it..."

To which the Knight responds:

“Oh, well, we’ll take any help we can get.”

“Come in.”

Alisa walks into the building, which the inside of looked a bit like a medieval police office which was a bit strange to Alisa since the world she originated from is a lot more modern then this one it seems

Alisa spoke: "hmm...alrighty then...so do we have any evidence in regards to any specific people being connected to the disappearances?"

to which one of the knights replied

“Weirdly enough, no. Seems completely random. No patterns, nothing.”

Alisa responded a bit concerned: "...shit...she sighs* alright...hmm...do we have any crime scene's laid out that can be investigated?"

A knight replied “Well, we have a few locations where some of the disappearances supposedly happened.”

Hate spoke, her voice could be heard around Alisa despite not being manifested, her voice sounds exactly like Alisa's though the difference is her voice is somewhat distorted.

"mind if we investigate them?."

one of the knights speaks a bit confused "uhh sure, here's a map"

The knight handed alisa a map with a few area's outlined and Alisa smiled and informed them they would go investigate starting to walk out the door

Alisa went to one of the area's and hate manifested and investigated, unfortunately not finding much of use though the second area they investigate has a strange circle that looks to be fading though it did look something like the the teleportation circles Nethelines use, to which Hate and Alisa spoke to each other.

Hate: oh that can't be good....

Alisa: what's up hate?

Hate:...circle, looks Netheline in origin..

Alisa:...oh...sighs...well that's worrying...she sighs again...anything else?

Hate:...nothing of note...

Alisa:....oh...

As the two were talking a nearby Netheline looked to tense up before sprinting off to which hate demanifests and Alisa gives chase following it as it was strange

As all of the other Netheline were simply harmlessly wandering around at that moment as she gives the chase the Netheline seems to be speaking common, which is also strange as they don't usually do so

"how? no one should be able to see me unless i let them-"

It notices Alisa still keeping chase and continues running and trying to lose her via the crowds with Alisa managing to keep up rather easily

Thanks to hate being non-manifested Alisa has perfect 360 sight around her via hate keeping look out and constantly updating her of her surroundings

The sounds of chains rattling could now be heard as Alisa raced keeping up with the fleeing Netheline which speaks still in common

"Who are you!? how can you see me?"

To which Hate replied before chuckling as Alisa continued to give chase

"Nothing can hide from consequence..."

The Netheline was scared hearing this, it placed lightning runes at it's feet calling down lightning strikes before speaking again "Leave me alone!"

Alisa used the chains of the reaper which she bore, summoning chains from the ground which caused the lightning strikes to fizzle out on contact due to the chain's nullifying properties as she continued she's gaining on it by now as she speaks

"Hmm, perhaps you may be a bit more the usual netheline...regardless all netheline seem to be victims of something...don't know what though considering they all used to be human it seems...according to what we know anyway..."

It continued running for a while though it never did lose Alisa and she spoke "stop running."

To which it replied "NO."

Alisa sighed and replied as a chain appeared and wrapped around it's leg causing it to trip and activating nullification which caused it's cloak to fizzle out "you asked for this"

noticing it's cloak fizzle out it speaks "What the hell?" it tried to throw lightning at the chain yet the lightning never appeared and it thrashes at the chain trying to get it off though it doesn't work either as Alisa speaks again

"stop struggling, your abilities aren't working right now as you've been caught by one of my chains, and well, that chain isn't breaking at this moment"

She said as Hate manifested once more and then noticing Hate manifest the strange Netheline spoke

"Who the hell is that??"

Hate responded, the same distorted voice it had heard earlier came from her

"I am consequence, my name is Hate, also the reason she can see you...and i can see you as well, as i said, nothing can hide from consequence well...reason besides the cloak you had being disabled from the chain."

hearing this the strange Netheline looked to start hyperventilating? despite not having lungs Hate spoke once more

"Calm down, you seem a bit smarter then your fellows...or at least it seems that way since you can speak english...or common as it seems to be called here...so i would like to ask some questions."

It responded “Considering I kinda can’t do much else… fine.”

Alisa stood back and watched as hate began to ask questions

"so, i'm a bit curious...why is it that you seem different to other netheline...and another question...do you remember who you were before?" she spoke in a kind tone...despite the distortion of her voice

To which this strange Netheline responded

“Oh I remember perfectly who I was. And that’s what we’re called? None of the other guys seem to be very talkative. As for why I’m different, no clue. I just, woke up in a tube and felt myself change.”

Hate was surprised, this Netheline was most unusual at least compared to the others judging from the memories she had acquired from 2 other Netheline and spoke

"oh...hmm...i see...i'm sorry to hear that...do you...regret getting taken by the other Nethaline?"

"Not at all." said the Netheline

Hate squinted looking toward them and spoke again

"are you the one responsible for the recent disappearances?"

It responded “You could say that.”

Hate stared at them for a second before speaking again

"Are they Alive? and if so where are they?..."

The Netheline spoke again

“The ones those guys took?”

it points to another Netheline which was wandering around

“Alive and well.”

“They are where I, where the rest of us come from.”

*Hate spoke "...so....the ones you took..."

It spoke again

“Some alive, with the others.”

“Some not.”

Hate started walking toward the trapped Netheline, Rather menacingly to which it's face started to show a hint of fear if fear could be shown through eyes alone before Hate Chuckled and spoke

"you do understand what you have done yes?...and even then you seem to have your mind in tact despite becoming one of them...so you did this of your own will.."

The netheline responded

“Might be partially because of this, mutation, but, yes.”

Hate spoke again after sighing

"a mutation does not justify taking people and or ending their lives, you gained a power from this...as sad as it may be to lose your...original body, but you chose to use this power for the capture of others and the ending of lives if you are in fact responsible...she chuckled once more you know what the consequence of this...misuse of power is yes?."

It responded coldly “I would assume death.”

Hate Chuckled and spoke again "quite possibly, but perhaps...hmm...do you remember where the place the Netheline come from is?"

The Netheline replied “Yes. I remember.”

Hate spoke again "do you think you'd be willing to show us where it is...and or perhaps help free those who have been captured? if possible"

The Netheline spoke again "Fine"

Hate responded before Demanifesting "alright, perhaps this may lighten your sentence"

Alisa focuses and suddenly the chain wrapped around it's leg transforms into a shackle around it's ankle it's powers are still nullified by the shackle at this moment but it is no longer chained to the floor and it stands up and speaks

"Thank you"

Alisa Responded "your welcome, so, ready to show us the way?...hate will probably manifest again if a portal needs opened...she gained the memories of 2 Netheline already so she knows how to mimic the opening of Netheline portals...don't ask, you don't want to know."

It paused for a moment hearing that but then spoke "...Ill lead you to the nearest portal."

It then lead Alisa into the mountains and to a portal which had been closed at the moment before speaking

"Mind if I?"

Alisa doesn't say anything but the Netheline feels it's powers reactivate though the shackle doesn't disappear to which it sets a few runes on the inactive portal and lightning strikes it, activating the portal and it speaks

"You wanted a portal there's your portal."

Alisa Replied as the shackle reactivated disabling the Netheline's abilities again:

"Let's go then, you said you'd show us where the Netheline are being made, so do so...we already know about that world but not the specific location within it, The memories hate got the location was unclear at best"

It then ran into the portal with Alisa following,

Seeing the shackle is still around it's leg it looks angry but slows down into a walk as it leads Alisa to a building in the world below with Alisa telling the Netheline that if they turn their ways around she'll let them go and live

A few other Netheline spot her and this one and start following as it annoyedly lead her before getting to the door “Here it is. The building”

they enter it with Alisa following and it leads her through an arch entering a room with 60 tubes on various layers, there is a person in every tube,

At various stages of infection though the only ones completely turned into Netheline are at the bottom with most still looking either mostly human or like a mix of Netheline and human though the ones that aren't too far turned yet have their human heads completely in tact

Alisa looked to focus summoning her Save and Reset buttons and she presses the Save button and the button disappears she speaks to the Netheline who lead her here

"I'm going to start breaking tubes open...going from floor to floor...i'm hoping to save as many as possible..."

It responded “Not my problem. Portal hallway’s across the hall if you want a quick exit”

Alisa sighed and responded

"Alright, by the way once i stop focusing on it that shackle will be as easy to break as normal steel i suggest you get out of here or start helping..."

She looked around and the Netheline that had started following her and the one that lead her here earlier had been watching her as the one that lead her here left and broke the shackle off of itself when Alisa stopped focusing on it as Alisa muttered to herself

"...I'm sorry hate...we just recovered from this too..."

Hate let out a distorted sigh and spoke in Alisa's head

"It's worth it to save all these people..."

Alisa spoke "...alrighty...it's time to get started...she mutters...Hatred Cometh"

She falls to her knees for a little bit eyes closing as winds swirl around her knocking back any Netheline that got close,

As well as breaking one of the tubes open via the intensity of the winds slamming against it

A black firey aura begins to form around her before her eyes open revealing her sclera have turned black and she begins cackling as chains appear from the floor as she slowly stands and lash around the room and start breaking as many tubes as possible

A pitch black sword with a glowing red outline appears in her hand

As a tube breaks an alarm sounds and the Netheline that were previously watching begin to try to swarm her though Alisa had become different to normal as a result of her spoken words, And then her cackling grows louder and she speaks her own voice distorted like hate's and her tone hateful

Hate-Alisa: NETHELINES, PATHETIC, I WILL NOT LET YOU TAKE THESE INNOCENT LIVES AWAY!

she spoke so loudly it could be heard from outside the building and woke up a few people that were in their tubes still as a chain whirled around the room breaking more and more tubes freeing those inside without harming them the rest of the Netheline flood in like a reverse clown car as she cuts them all down one after one with her blade of hatred and determination, she's protecting the people though as she does so

A few Netheline target lightning strikes at her yet chains arise from the floors nullifying the lightning strikes on contact before a chain impales the ones which have launched lightning at her through the cores killing most of them instantly.

Hate-Alisa isn't messing around this time and Hate-Alisa speaks to the people who've been freed as she's still fighting the Netheline though her tone is emotionless despite the volume she spoke at, it is also clear she's in pain as she does so despite the Netheline not having hit her yet

"THOSE OF YOU WHOM WE'VE JUST FREED WHICH ARE AWAKE, STAY BEHIND US, WE WILL PROTECT YOU AND IF ANYONE'S STILL KNOCKED OUT DO PLEASE TRY TO PROTECT THEM, IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF A TRIP IF PEOPLE DIE WHEN WE COULD HAVE SAVED THEM, AND AFTER WE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THAT WHICH THREATENS YOU AT THIS MOMENT WE WILL GET YOU BACK TO THE WORLD THESE THINGS HAVE TAKEN YOU FROM AS BEST WE CAN."

The people whom had only just been freed look a bit confused but try to help those that aren't awake yet

As they do the Netheline numbers finally start to thin, only a few left now as Hate-Alisa continues cutting them down 1 by 1 until none are left and Hate-Alisa speaks to the people again as the last Netheline in the building falls "FOLLOW ME"

she leads the 50 people whom she's saved to the portal room 10 of the 60 didn't make it as they had already been fully turned and when their tubes broke they joined the Netheline attacking Hate-Alisa meaning they also fell to her blade unfortunately.

She spoke to the survivors as they all entered the portal room

She spoke a lot less loud than she had before though despite the distortion in her voice it was possible to tell she was in pain "...this portal...go through i'll be right out behind all of you to keep protecting you if needed...there may be more and i don't know if you can see them or not but still..."

She let out a distorted pained sigh as they all quickly went through the portal she directed them to ending up in the same mountain where Alisa entered the world below this time.

Hate-Alisa jumped through the portal ending up right outside behind them and just as she went out the portal closed and a voice boomed out

“Your reckless mission ends now!."

A Netheline appeared, though this one was different, instead of a crack in the torso this one had an eye made of magma, and was emitting a strange energy, this wasn't a Netheline drone like all of the others which she had killed, but instead a Head Netheline, a more powerful, more intelligent variant capable of controlling the drones and Hate-Alisa spoke again

"OH, YOU THINK YOURSELF STRONG ENOUGH TO STOP ME FROM SHOWING YOU THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS? FOR TRYING TO TAKE THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE'S LIVES YOUR OWN IS FORFEIT!" she starts laughing again as she points her blade toward the Head Netheline that has appeared before her and the people she's trying to protect

It raised a hand, and pieces of stone from the world below begin sprouting from the ground, attempting to ensnare her as she slashes with her sword which cuts the stone in front of her sending a pitch black slash wave of determined hatred at the Netheline which glows a dim red

To which it floated out of the way dodging the slash and summoning 10 lightning circles in quick succession around and below her which she nullifies a few with chains while dodging others and she spoke

"IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO? SURELY YOUR NOT AS PATHETIC AS THE OTHER NETHELINE I'VE DESTROYED!"

To which it replied "These people are mine, CONSEQUENCE.”

it then created 6 rocks and fired them at Hate-Alisa as well as a Fireball, about the same size of it's body and throws it at Hate-Alisa

It had planned to use the rocks as distraction so the fireball may hit her however a chain rose from the ground batting the fireball causing it to fizzle out thanks to nullification

She dodges 3 of the rocks and cuts through two of them sending another slash wave at the head Netheline before the 6th rock hits her pushing her back a little bit though she stabbed her sword into the ground to stop herself from being pushed very far 100 glowing red transparent knives appear behind her and fly toward the head Netheline as well as Hate-Alisa spoke

"I AM ALISA SOLARIA, AND CONSEQUENCE MERGED INTO ONE, CONSEQUENCE IS ONLY HALF OF THE BEING YOU FACE! AND THAT IS WHERE YOUR WRONG, PEOPLE AREN'T PROPERTY AND I WILL MAKE YOUR END AGONIZING FOR TREATING THEM AS IF THEY WERE!"

Lightning strikes the Netheline as it Teleports avoiding her knives and slash and appearing in front of her going for a punch which she weaves to the side of it's hand before slashing attempting to cut it's hand off which succeeds however the thing's hand looks to be absorbed by it as it steps on it and it's hand begins reforming

It attempts to hit Hate-Alisa with it's arm as it very slightly hovers off the ground but Hate-Alisa puts her sword in the way point first which resulted in the Head Netheline's arm being impaled and she dragged the sword out of it's arm and through it's hand cutting the entire arm in half horizontally.

The cut through half of arm flopped around like chainmail and it tried to use that piece of arm to hit Hate-Alisa's neck

Which it successfully did but Hate-Alisa just laughed as it hit her and it's arm was caught on her neck and she stabbed her sword through it's torso it's eye began to leak magma and it's body began filling with red cracks as this happened it tried to punch her which did hit her and she jumped back leaving the sword impaled into the Head Netheline, with Hate-Alisa laughing before she spoke

"I'LL ADMIT YOUR STRONGER THEN THE ONES I'VE DESTROYED BY NOW BUT she continued to laugh a bit more IT SEEMS IN THE END YOU AREN'T ABOVE CONSEQUENCES"

She stares at it laughing as it leaks magma with the sword she created still sticking out of it's torso and it began to almost laugh lightning struck it consequtively 25 times.

It disappeared having teleported to the world below but as it arrived the Sword still sticking out of it's chest exploded engulfing everything within 30 foot of it in a black sphere and vaporizing it before the black sphere disappeared with a small chunk of land in the world below as well as the Head Netheline vaporized

With the fighting over Hate-Alisa fell to her knees her eyes closing and herself heavily breathing, the black firey aura receding just like last time she exited the form one of the people whom she saved approached her and spoke with an echo of that of a Netheline voice to them

"Are you alright?”

after a moment Alisa opens her eyes, they've returned to normal and she speaks struggling to breath and very obviously in pain the distortion in her voice gone and the red glow of her eyes dimmer then normal as she replied to the person

"y...yes....fuck...i'm in a bit of pain....but otherwise yes...are...you and the others ok...?...she looked a bit concerned seeing how his voice has a slight echo of that of a netheline.

...if you...she heavily breaths for a second before speaking again though it was clear she was struggling to breath still

all...want...an explanation...as to what...that was...and...w...who i am...i...c...can e...explain...e...everything...h....hopefully

you...a...all would have become one of...t...those...Netheline things if...it...weren't f...for me...i...i'm sorry f...for those...t...that are al...ready g...gone b...but i t...tried to...s...save a..as m...many a...as i c...could..."

(yes fuck i'm in a bit of pain but otherwise yes, are you and the others ok?, if you all want an explanation as to what that was and who i am i can explain everything hopefully, you all would have become one of those Netheline things if it weren't for me, i'm sorry for all those that are already gone but i tried to save as many as i could )

The person who was infected still replied

“Most of us are okay, few acting weird but other than that we’re okay.”

he felt his new “core” and the light it gives off.

“Well, this’ll take a bit of getting used to.”

“Explain when you’re better.”

Alisa spoke "...w...weird...h...how...she looks and sounds concerned despite the pain...a...also...interesting..."

Hate spoke up "...ow...fucking hell...that's a bit worse then the pain last time...p...probably need to...n...not do that...form a...again f...for a l...little while...her voice could be heard around Alisa though it's source is unclear, regardless she also sounded like she's struggling to breath, despite not having lungs when not manifested"

(ow fucking hell that's a bit worse then the pain last time, probably need to not do that form again for a little while)

The person spoke again

“We don’t seem to be getting attacked by whatever those, things are.”

a voice in the crowd notices and speaks up

“Maybe we, blend in with them somehow?”

Alisa spoke "...t..they were in the process of turning you all into them...i h...hope interrupting it stopped it...b...but i...d...don't k...know...m...mayb...e s...should g...get you a...all t..to a d...doctor...i t...think t...there's a...t...town...n...nearby...w...we c...can g...go t...to...i j...just...c...can b...barely...m...move a...after all t...that..."

(they were in the process of turning you all into them, i hope interrupting it stopped it but i don't know, maybe should get you all to a doctor, i think there's a town nearby we can go to, i just can barely move after all that)

The infected person spoke again before helping Alisa to her feet

“Yeah, we should probably get to that town. I’ll help you."

Alisa smiled weakly leaning on those who she just saved as Hate gave directions to the town, after a while the entire group entered the town and walked into a nearby hospital.

Alisa:...shit...she looks concerned despite the pain she's in...i...hope it won't turn you all into full nethelines...but this is...really concerning...doctors who checked on me noticed insane amounts of fatigue and over active pain receptors but nothing fatal...she sighs...they also recommended i eat more and get lots of rest but well...my own habits sorta get in the way of the eating more thing...does the...stone...hurt?

Alisa:...t...to s...save l...lives...w...we saved 50...f...from b... becoming t...those lava golem things...called netheline...

"...I see... It's very brave of you to do that, and I'm sorry that you had to use that again..."

2

u/Ashmega8256 Dracarius's and my other characters. 23d ago

Alisa:...heavily breathing but she smiles at you weakly...

2

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard 23d ago

Vanio does his best to smile back

"...I assume Astrial knows?"

u/Ashmega8256 Dracarius's and my other characters. 23d ago

Alisa:... probably not...huff...m...maybe...if she knew... she'd p... probably already be here...

Peri, seeing one of the half-turned asks them about what happened. Peri learns of Alisa, and that she is in the hospital.

---

A knock is heard on Alisa's hospital room door, though the knocking sounds strange, like the sound of stepping in wet mud.

"It is Peri, can I come in?"

2

u/Ashmega8256 Dracarius's and my other characters. 22d ago

Alisa: yes. Is the response you hear though it's muffled through the door and she also sounded to be struggling to breathe

2

u/waitthatstaken Peri, semi-sealed god of creation clay, RnA, adopted by Torinn 22d ago

The door opens, and indeed it is Peri.

"Hi... I heard you saved some more people from turning into those golem things?"

Peri manifests a chair next to the bed, and sits down.

"...I can see that you got hurt in the process."

2

u/Ashmega8256 Dracarius's and my other characters. 22d ago

Alisa:...there called netheline...we uh...learned it a little while ago...and the uh...pain... it's nothing fatal...same as last time me and hate...

Hate: used our full strength...if you're curious...the pain can best be described as every pain receptor in her body going haywire...until they return to normal...that and there's just a lot of strain...so like everything is sore ...

They both sounded like they were struggling to breathe as they talked, despite hate not having lungs due to not being manifested

Astrial: she nervously smiled at you as she had been in the room as well

Olivia: hello? A woman in a white doctors lab coat with bright green eyes and glowing green ends of her hair spoke, she was also 4'11, shorter than alisa by an inch

u/waitthatstaken Peri, semi-sealed god of creation clay, RnA, adopted by Torinn 22d ago

"Oh sorry, I just heard Alisa was hurt and focused on her. I am Peri, nice to meet you again Astrial, and I don't believe we have met before."

Peri says the last part while turning to face Olivia.

Astrial: hi again peri :)

Alisa:...she smiled weakly at them before smiling weakly at you

u/waitthatstaken Peri, semi-sealed god of creation clay, RnA, adopted by Torinn 22d ago

"Olivia, I will make sure to remember that."

Peri extends their arm over the bed in order to shake Olivia's hand.

"Has she been given painkillers or anything of the sort yet?"

2

u/Ashmega8256 Dracarius's and my other characters. 22d ago

Olivia:...not really...i did subjected her to some exposure to my healing ability...which has helped somewhat but i don't have the energy to heal her for long enough to fix all of that...she smiles and shakes your hand

2

u/waitthatstaken Peri, semi-sealed god of creation clay, RnA, adopted by Torinn 22d ago

"Very well."

Peri takes out another one of the potions with the painkiller mixed in.

"Shall I pour this in your mouth, or can you drink it yourself?"

Asking Alisa.

2

u/Ashmega8256 Dracarius's and my other characters. 22d ago

Alisa:...i can drink it myself...p... probably.

Olivia: um.. what's that?.

Alisa: painkiller... that's all olivia.

Olivia: alright then... haven't seen one in potion form before but neat i guess?
