34th Harvest - [Video]

I ONLY WISH I HAD BEEN ABLE TO MENTION SOONER.

[For lack of skin and facial muscles, the skeleton manages to wear quite the grave expression- no pun intended.]

THE DARK AEON IS NEARING AGAIN. SUCH WOULD BE THE REASON FOR ORIHIME AND SKYFIRE'S DISAPPEARANCE.

UNFORTUNATELY MATTERS MAY BE A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED, THIS TIME....

[Sanji had been listing to some of the posts flitting about the network, but not commenting. He wanted to hear all he could, before rushing to any conclusions. (Well, that... and he had partially exhausted himself again, forcing himself to try and Bend, until he finally heard/realized that Bending was near-impossible, now.) The news about Orihime, though, shocked him into replying.]

What? Is Orihime-chan okay? How do you know this? .... "Complicated" due to being unable to Bend now, right?

I AM AWARE OF ALL WHO ARE WAKENED, BROUGHT TO NAUTILUS, AS THE CITY HAS BECOME MY NEW AREA OF JURISDICTION. ORIHIME IS BEING HELD BY THE DARK AEON, ALTHOUGH I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAMILIAR YOU ARE WITH IT, AS OUR FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH IT HAPPENED WELL BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL.

...THAT IS ONLY PART OF IT.

Not very... Shit. How can we rescue her? People were saved before, right?

[You get a frown, and a slight quirk of his eyebrow at that.] What's the other part, then?

THE LAST TIME WE DEALT WITH THE DARK AEON, ALL OF NAUTILUS' WAKENED SAVE THE ANGELII, ASHURA AND DEVAS WERE TRANSFERRED TO A COPY OF THE CITY, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE DARK AEON ITSELF. ALL WERE RESCUED, AT THE TIME, SAVE THAT IT HAD BEEN VERY CLOSE.

I DO NOT HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER TO THAT, BUT I HOPE I AM MERELY MISTAKEN. [His tone suggests that he doesn't quite believe that, unfortunately.]

[Sanji lets out a strained sigh, and rubs the back of his head.] How were they rescued? What can we do now? Especially being unable to Bend, now?

... I've no idea what the hell you're talking about, but I hope you're mistaken, too.

THOSE WHO HAD NOT BEEN STOLEN AWAY BY THE AEON CAME ABOARD THE CITY OF PILLOW, AND THE ANGELII AND ASHURA WENT IN INDIVIDUALLY TO BRING PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE DARK AEON, TRANSPORTING THEM TO PILLOW. THEN WE ENGAGED THE AEON IN BATTLE, BUT WERE IT NOT FOR THE DEVAS, THE OUTCOME WOULD PROBABLY NOT HAVE BEEN POSITIVE.

....AS FOR WHAT WE CAN DO AGAINST IT GIVEN OUR CURRENT STATE, I DO NOT KNOW... HOWEVER, IF WE ARE TO FIGHT AGAINST IT, KNOW THAT DEATH IS NOT WHAT YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT.

... Pillow. You have a city named Pillow. [Oh, whatever! Things were too urgent to get hung up on the absurdity of city names.] How exactly did you fight it, last time? The non-ascended, I mean. How the fuck do you even fight a city? I doubt knocking its buildings down wouldn't really affect it, any. Do you tear up the land, or something?

[Sanji grumbled, not liking the answers he was receiving one bit. He folded his arms, and narrowed his eyes, focussed on Death.] Then what should we be concerned about?

[He's a little thankful that he's not asked about the name; it's a headache trying to explain the city of Pillow, and as for its guardian, Death has even less of an explanation.]

THEY FOUGHT AS THEY COULD, BY POWER AND ABILITY. I DO NOT THINK IT WAS ENOUGH, AND THE AEON RETALIATED BY EMBODYING THEIR FEARS.

[No, they were not pleasant answers that he gave, and they would not improve. The glows set deep within Death's sockets flared.]

UNMAKING.

.o(Okay, note-to-self; get off your ass and start training as hard as you can, without exhausting yourself, before the shit hits the fan.)

[He's not quite thrilled with the whole 'embodying their fears' bit, but he's faced some very rough hardships before, and come through strong... he was sure he could get through whatever this shitty Aeon threw at him. The answers might not be pleasant ones, but Sanji was thankful that Death was being honest about all this. He didn't need - or want - any sugarcoating.]

Hn. Is there any way to fight back against that... or are we shit outta luck with Bending almost gone, now?

[There is some hesitance in his response.]

...THAT, I DO NOT KNOW.

Right... Well, it's better than nothing. [He clenched his jaw, teeth grinding against the filter of his cigarette. This was just a waiting game, now... with Orihime trapped by the enemy, and he was helpless to do anything. He hated it. Well, there were some things he could do, perhaps, in anticipation. Train. Perpare some food for long-term storage. With a sharp nod, he turned off the feed.]
