67th Gear. ...always pick the WORST times to come back. [Video]

[naniteknight]

Someone wanna tell me why there's a giant bubble shield over the city? And why my builds are breaking down before I can even finish making them? I'm not coming in tired, everything should work!

[Yep, guess who's back. And just in time to find everything gone to Hell in a hand basket.]

[From the look of it, Rex is still near the outer Northern

Rex! You're back!

[You are getting a hug as soon as she sees you, young man!]

Um... You've missed a good bit.

Basically, the Dark Aeon is coming back very soon. The Bending went away because of something to do with the chains that Hekket wanted us to wind back, but we aren't sure. Nash went to get answers out of him and now he's missing. Orihime and Skyfire left to go to space before all this started and now they're captured by the Aeon and we have no idea how to save them and we're basically huddling together and bundling supplies and no one really knows what to do right now.

[Okay. Breathe, Doc. Breathe. There you go.]

... But we haven't given up you're room yet. Ben, Danny, Gwen, Jendayi, Drift, and Dib are staying with us right now...

.... Welcome back? [Also, you missed Easter. They had fun without you and you missed it. :|X]

[naniteknight]

...seriously? [FACEPALM.]

So basically I've come back from a huge mess at home to find a major disaster waiting for me here. Great.

At least the whole lack of bending thing explains why I'm having trouble with my builds. Technically bending is everything here, just about, so if bending's not working, powers are going to be hard to use.

Ungh, alright. I'm on my way back to the house!

[doc_holi]

V said that even bound abilities are weakened. Some Cybertronians are even turning human.

We'll see you soon. Be careful.

[She knows it's close, but still.]

[Video]

[naniteknight]

Sounds like a great time. Bet Sideswipe's loving that.

Seems like maybe my Angelii abilities are still working, so I'll be there soon.

[Dry tone is as dry as the Sahara.]

Welcome back. [You'll probably wish you never had.]

[Video]

[naniteknight]

Thanks. ...I think.

Sounds like I'm back just in time for everything to go completely wrong. Doc's given me some of the basics and I'm on my to the house.

[Video]

[sixthdeadliest]

Good. It means you'll have less to catch up on.

[Sorry, Rex, but he's not in a very amiable mood at the moment.]

[Video]

[naniteknight]

Yeah, good. Especially since it sounds like you're in even less of a mood than usual for a friendly game of 20 Questions.

I WONDER THAT "WELCOME BACK" WOULD BE APPROPRIATE, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, BUT NEVER THE LESS...

[Video]

[naniteknight]

Yeeeaaaah, I do kinda wonder about that.

Good to see you though, Death. Glad you didn't up and leave while I was gone!

[Video]

[lastminutestuff]

I AM NOT SO EASY TO GET RID OF.

[Video]

[naniteknight]

That would make two of us.

So aside from total chaos around here, does anyone have an idea of how to handle this situation? I mean, we're supposedly staring down the barrel of impending doom here, right?

[Voice]

[quality_friend]

Rex! You're back! ...and you noticed that Bending and even your own powers aren't working right. Maybe you would've been better off staying home...

What Holiday said... that's pretty much all we know. But it's not just the Dark Aeon and Bending not working, there are also these weird nightmares everyone's having that you'll want to watch out for.

Also-

[Locking the feed now]

Holiday mentioned that she's invited a lot of people into her house. One of them, Dib, is a new arrival, and he... doesn't have the best social skills. He's currently harassing Danny because Danny's half-ghost and treating him as not a person. You might want to not let him know about your powers right away, or let him know that he can't study you and that he should treat you like a person and not a test subject.

[Video]

[naniteknight]

Wow, triple threat situation. I was about to say that staying home probably isn't all that much better, but you know? You're right, in terms of safety and sanity, it probably would have been.

Too bad I'm not known for always make sane, safe choices. [Smirk.]

[Locked]
Dib, huh? One of those kinds. I know that type all too well. I'll probably keep my mouth shut about being an EVO around him, then, at least for now. Not really much point in bringing it up much since my powers are glitching anyway. But hey, on the upside, he's not going to try and kill me, right?

[Voice]

[quality_friend]

The perfect storm of trouble, really. And maybe not a coincidence.

But, even if you might've been safer at home, we're probably better off with everyone we can get pitching in.

[Locked]

He's not even a teenager, I don't think he could kill anyone. And- I'm not sure if you've ever met anyone like him. Holiday invited him over and she's looking after him, so maybe she can talk him out of studying his housemates.

[Video/Locked]

[naniteknight]

So it's more like he's a nuisance? Eh, I can deal. Like I said, it's not like I haven't put up with this kind of thing before.

How are you holding up in the middle of all this weirdness?

[voice]

[knowsvinewhip]

Ah-! Welcome back!

It's a bit of a bad time. Apparently, the Dark Aeon is making its return. And... seems to be causing some problems.

[Video]

[naniteknight]

Hey, Hakkai!

And that's what the Doc's been telling me. Has anyone come up with a way to stop it, yet, or are we still brainstorming?

[Video]

[knowsvinewhip]

Mm, I'm afraid it's much the same as it was, last time the creature appeared. A great deal of reaction without much in the way of action.

Everyone has been scrambling to cope, and follow the Deva's instructions... they have yet to do any sort of organizing.

[Himself included.]

[Video]

[naniteknight]

[One brow arches.]

What instructions did the Deva leave for us?
