Synopsis: Paradigm agents landed right outside of Nibelheim and went straight for the ShinRa Mansion, noticing that there were recent steps leading to it along with leading to the Makou Reactor in the distance.
[show details]
- Deciding to check the mansion first, the agents had to solve a riddle with a bunch of clues given to them by a note they found on the floor. Toki was able to spot something about the last clue of the note that made figuring out the riddle easier. By the end of their clue-hunting, the group realized that the riddle was in fact combinations of a safe. On the second floor of the mansion they found a book entitled 'Loveless' in the library, once Aimi and Luca tugged on the book, two doors opened. One door was directly in front of them, showing a safe.. and the other door opened on the first floor, showing a hidden basement lab. Aimi and Aku went to investigate the hidden lab beneath while the rest of the agents fought a surprise hidden monster inside the Safe, just after acquiring a basement key. During the fight, Toki had disappeared but the heroine, Neo-Sailor Saturn showed up just in time to help shield the gang from a devastating attack.
- After defeating the monster with major help by a buffed up Belle (courtesy Vaelgir, the group went below to check what the basement door was but unfortunately after tinkering around, the basement started to collapse as the entire building was VERY old. Aku and Aimi were able to escape just in time and the entire group ran out of the mansion before a section of the Mansion totally fell through. Right outside they were greeted by a new agent, Zack who agreed to help lead them to the Makou Reactor. After reading some notes that Aimi and Aku were able to snag, they realized that someone named Valentine was involved and there were notes of JENOVA and Geostigma. Agent Izumi informed the group that JENOVA was an alien that had caused trouble recently, however no one was able to understand what Geostigma was.
- The group them proceeded to the Makou Reactor, where they saw a bunch of pods and a central chamber that said JENOVA on it. After turning the incubation pods off, realizing the chamber was empty, the group then left. Just as they were able to head back down the path to Nibelheim, a dragon appeared and the group battled it.. where truth of Sailor Saturn was revealed, along with the surprising transformation of Sailor Sirius. Agent Kenji noted that the dragons weakness, after many futile attempts to harm it was that the weak spot was its mouth, after a powerful attack from Aku (which made the dragon scream in pain), the group shot their attacks into the dragons mouth and destroyed it. The agents then went back to Nibelhiem, got back into the phonebooth (now with Zack) and returned safely.

Inside Van Dungen's office, he explained that he'd need to ship Letty's parts and have them examined in order to see if the fruit would work. The entire process would be prioritized however, taking about only a week. Letty first asked what the other agents thought of the decision before agreeing. Van Dungen then took out a bonesaw (the agents left the room except for Cait Sith) and then proceeded to make Letty 'fit' into a box to be shipped. The agents priginally planned to get some food from a previous contact's restaurant on this world, but most appetites were gone after the sight of blood all over Cait Sith after it left the office. Agents then returned back to the Inn though Izumi Saotome chose to stay in order to ask some personal questions with the people of this world.

[show details]
- Agents looked around as Kamuro went to pay is respects. Kamuro then returned to the other agents with the Hani guardian, a fairy named Otsuwa-sama. After speaking with Otsuwa, Kamuro then took the other agents to the location of the broken Hani Torii. At that location, Otsuwa then summoned the Mizu's guardian who looked like a fearsome beast. The beast then leaped through a waterfall, creating a vortex and dragging the other agents to the Mizu no Tami Village. The sight of the Mizu Village was right by an ocean and looked very beautiful. ...but before the agents could enjoy the sight there were sounds of chuckling nearby. The group hurried to the sounds and then came into contact with an old woman named Sae (the previous 'Girl of Water' and user of water healing) and the rest of the Kegai no Tami behind her.
- Sae explained the turmoil between the Kegai no Tami and the akahani and that everyone has a destiny and seemed to be pretty personal to Izumi. But before more could be said, Kaede used her wind attack and decapitated Sae. A fight then broke out between the agents and the Kegai no Tami. Mori Motonari and Zero fought against Kikunosuke and eventually killed him. Kamen and Stefan fought against Rihei having him lose his cybernetic arm.. Rihei then retreated and took Kikunosuke's pieces with him. Belle and Sachiko Uchiha fought with Rikimaru and then cut his arm off. Meanwhile, Ryosuke used the Hiryuu Shoten Ha (aided with Belle's Yacho Tosshin) on Higa and Kaede when she had her barrier active, causing the two to rocket off into the sky. Just before Sachiko could deliver the killing blow on Rikimaru, he disappeared.. ..and then oddly enough, the Epoch appeared by the agents thereafter. Kamuro, Ryosuke, and Izumi burried Sae.. and the agents then returned back to the Inn.

Once he examined the curse he explained that he could create a clone body for Hibiki and transplant his brain into the new body that would be an exact duplicate of the body. However, all of his treatments come with a price and in this case he offered Hibiki two choices: a new body that is equal to the strength of a normal male his age thus removing all the years of training he has gone through. The other: him sacrificing his manhood by having his mind placed in the body of a female equal to the strength that he has currently. Hibiki refused the offer and Shigure gave him a 24 hour window to make his decision before they left for home.

Synopsis: Participants went into the Epoch to find
Nya, the tarot card dealer who had given certain individuals
tarot cards.
[show details]
- Miyabi is still insistent on wanting to trade cards with Galvan Swiftblade so he agreed to go to the bookstore in order to see if there's any way to do this. Other agents came along in order to find out more information about the heroes and the powers they were using. When the group first landed, there was something 'off' about the area, a few agents noticed that there was a giant presence directly outside of the Epoch doors. Tyler, using his abilities, was able to see that it was a giant Insect-like monster. Aimi, who had gone outside to check and directly saw the monster let out a scream and ran back into the Epoch, thereby drawing its attention. The Insect-monster came closer and closer to the Epoch and then pried the doors open, grabbing Tyler and Galvan. Aimi quickly used her Axe-weapon to slash at the Insect's leg and a second slash from Aku made the Insect drop Tyler. Galvan was pulled outside and dragged towards the buildings.. probably to be eaten. Aku slashed at the middle of the insect again, crumbling some of its hard armor. Galvan was then able to summon his hero, The Juggernaut, who promptly appeared and drilled the Insect-monster into nothing. The rest of the crew joined up with where Galvan was and agreed to go inside of the bookstore because outside was far too dangerous. Inside of the bookstore, Miyabi was told again that there wasn't a way to switch heroes and that destiny was the factor. Galvan was also hesitant on switching heroes after his had saved his life twice. Seijou continued to ask some more questions but realized that it was probably best for the group to head back.. especially noting the apparent discomfort of Tyler. Once outside, Tyler began exhibiting odd behavior and talking in riddles and did not want to be touched. When the group returned back to the Inn, Tyler still demonstrated weird antics.

Synopsis: Once the ritual was prepared by
Haruka Kakita, the participants (even Letty who now had green hair..) found themselves in a locked portion of Izumi's mind.
[show details]
- There were was a doorway with three doors and a young version of Izumi appeared in front of them who seemed to only recognize Ryosuke. Young Izumi then ran into the first door and the others followed after her. Inside the first door was a memory of Izumi with her best friend, Matsumi, at a young age. Izumi tried smoking and didn't like it and then the scene changed to when she was wounded from her Neko-ken training with a figure who looked like a female-version of Ryosuke there to treat Izumi's wounds. The memory faded and the group then found themselves back at the junction, only now the first door they had entered was now locked. Young Izumi did not want to go through the middle door and after some prompting of why from Agent Daichi and Agent Kamen, Young Izumi said that there was a Monster living in there.
The group decided to go to the other available door (that wasn't the middle one) and enter that one. Once inside there, the scene had become a fighting arena with a bunch of Sailor Senshi who had been battle-worn. Izumi was older and dressed as Sailor Mars and standing in front of a blonde-haired girl dressed as Sailor Moon. Izumi as Sailor Mars then stood in the way of a blast intended for Sailor Moon and her star seed was removed, her body turning into nothing. Young Izumi then stated the only way to die was for your friends, a sentiment which Agent Letty seemed to agree with. The scene faded again back to the junction with the three doors, but now only the middle was open. Young Izumi seemed to be perfectly content in staying in this limbo area forever. Ryosuke, Daichi, and Letty tried to explain that it was incredibly important for Izumi to wake up, even Agent Kamuro spoke words of a bright future.
After MUCH MUCH convincing and talking, Young Izumi went with the group to the final door. Once through the door a particularly dark memory was witnessed and showed everyone the source of Izumi's fears with men and intimacy. A mere second later they reappeared at the junction...and after processing what they all had just seen, a monster bursted out of Young Izumi's chest.. much reminiscent of what had happened to Agent Venus. The monster then grew tentacle-like appendages and attacked the agents. By all working together, the monster was pulled out of Young Izumi's chest and then destroyed. The young Izumi then slowly morphed into the older version of her and three chimes were sounded to wake everyone up.
Investigation Entry #10

Genre: Supernatural/Action
Location: Japan
Agent Posting: Phoebe
Status: Closed
Participants:
Sailor Moon
Sailor Betelgeuse
Sailor Vega
Sailor Centauri
Sailor Procyon
Sailor Altair
Neo Sailor Saturn
Synopsis: Agents were originally at the resort to celebrate
Sagiko Tsukino's birthday, and at first things were completely fine.
[show details]
- However, later during the night Suzume Yamida noticed a brief sensation of something odd happening and it turns out that the resort had been moved into a pocket dimension. Lydia Kazeda also noticed at this point that there weren't any stars. Everything seemed to be fine and a young woman who was named Danchomi introduced herself as their personal hostess. Danchomi explained that there were a few mishaps going around and that was the reason why the phones weren't working and that the girls shouldn't be alarmed. Things seemed relatively peaceful and although the lack of stars, there wasn't anything else to be alarmed about so far.
- Later on the girls' trip during the evening, the girls were summoned to a grand banquet where Mai Kaneda was to receive a prize for winning a watermelon race. As the girls got settled, Phoebe arrived and hopped onto Midori Tsuchida's shoulder and quickly explained the odd occurrences at the resort.. apparently more people had disappeared. Phoebe then left to find out more and shortly thereafter Danchomi revealed that she was nothing more than a Lemures (youma-like being of the Dead Moon). The people in the banquet quickly fell over like they had no souls to begin with and the girls transformed into their senshi forms. After a grueling battle, Danchomi was defeated and Phoebe contacted the girls via communicator.. saying that he had found the main base of operations.
- The girls proceeded to the boiler room of the resort as Phoebe explained that they weren't even on a resort anymore at all. In fact the place was more like a ship that had been replicated to look like the resort. The one responsible for all of this was none other than Bullseye. Phoebe was then apprehended by Bullseye and he continued the conversation with the senshi, explaining to them that he was able to find out their true identities due to Tendou. When the girls arrived at the boiler room, inside they saw a massive machine that seemed to be powered by the dream mirrors of the people who were at the resort before it was transferred to the ship. Bullseye explained that the machine was a weapon called the Laughing Cow and that it was just a prototype experiment. The weapon was aimed towards the Inn and unless it was completed, the beam would fire and destroy the earth. The way the machine would be completed was if Sailor Moon and the other senshi willingly stepped into the chambers adorning the room and Sailor Moon would give up her body to Bullseye's Queen. If the senshi were to destroy the machine, it would also destroy the dreams of all the people in the resort. Before slipping into unconsciousness, Phoebe told the girls to not give up and if it came to it.. to use the power of the Ginzuishou (Silver Imperium Crystal). With time running out.. Sailor Moon, Neo Sailor Saturn, Sailor Altair, Sailor Vega, Sailor Betelgeuse, Sailor Procyon, and Sailor Centauri combined their efforts.. using their full power to complete the wish of saving those they love, saving the souls of the people in the resort, and stopping the will of the Queen. As their stars faded out, a giant flash of light exploded across the sky which was noticeable even to those at the Inn, miles and miles away.

[show details]
- Agents were given this information prior from an investigation at the docks done by Mireya Moreno, Aku, Nikolai, Prae Shinra, and Kakita Haruka. (At the docks, the agents spotted an Oni that said he found the agents interesting.. and wanted to help them. He gave them a name of a witch, Urasue, that could bring their friends back to life.. but the only way to speak to her was to go through an enchanted well at an old shrine.) When the agents arrived at the shrine, Stefan and Elizabeth were attacked via magic arrows (Stefan damaging his arm and Elizabeth falling unconscious). Loki had been attacked as well but he managed to dodge.. though ended up coming face to face with a reploid named Zero. The leader of the shrine, Kagome, asked why the agents had come there and the agents explained that they wished to go through the well in order to get information needed to save one of their comrades.
- At first, Kagome seemed apprehensive but with the burning aura from Tatsuya and from the fact that the agents came from the Inn she used to live at.. she agreed. The agents were warned not to trespass the forest due to an angry demon living in there and then after taking in the warning, they leaped through the well. The agents found themselves in a Feudal Japan-like era with a small village and shrine close to them. Haruka and Mori Motonari proceeded to the shrine while Tatsuya spoke with one of the local children.
- The Shrine Maiden, Kakyuu, listened to Haruka and Tatsuya's request of finding Urasue... and gave them a map of how to get there. She also explained that Urasue had already been killed by a priestess but they could speak to her apprentices. When the group left the shrine and re-grouped with the others outside, the little boy whom Tatsuya had talked to earlier came up to them with a cart and horse. The agents took the offered ride and decided to use it to take a shortcut through the forest. (Thanks to the horses' terrible smell.. they were not attacked).
- Soon, the agents arrived at a graveyard and past that was Urasue's old house. Elizabeth waited by their horse and cart while the other agents went inside and met two old-crone-like women named Ura and Sue. The two oni women agreed that they could help bring their friends back if they were given a personal item and helped to get a special Soul Weed to perform the ritual. When Takeo asked what sort of payment would be necessary for their services, originally Sue wanted to eat Haruka.. but then they twins agreed that they would settle for the hair of a virgin. Stefan urged the agents to leave so they could discuss this in more depth at home. The agents then left and returned back through the well... then went home.

Before laughing at the force brought to his troupe, calling his forces down and inviting them to talk.
- With nothing of note to discuss, Aldrik spoke about the divide between the Blood Tribe and the Winter Tribe, as well as the current state of the former. He advised them to seek out the Kohagen family, or to attempt to speak to Rends-The-Veil, ruler of the Blood Lords, but advised against fighting him due to his position and the state of the Blood Tribe. He also spoke at length about responsibilities, and how he had accepted them in because of their use of silver and the presence of a Belmont. He refused to see them again, then bid them on their way, saying the only ones who could cure the curse placed on Setsuna Mikagami was probably the Blood Tribe itself, or the death of Cutie.

Agents then sneaked into the bedroom of one of the apartments and looked around. Unfortunately because of the fact that it was still occupied and from the lack of light in the room, nothing was found. Agents then left to go to the second location.
- Agents then arrived at an alleyway where Kamuro was attacked. There appeared to be police tape and a lot of broken down debris everywhere. With scanners and careful looking, agents were able to find small dead chunks of Tendou which agents locked into capsules and took back to study. Agents then went to another part of the alley where the attack occurred and found a cellphone that was left by Tendou. There were two messages left, one for the agents and one for Izumi. Agents took the phone and then returned to the Inn.

- Synopsis: Agents arrived at the park to witness a scene of a ton of unconscious people, a monster with a fabulous hair, and a costumed girl with cat-ears.
[show details]
The costumed girl had apparently crashed the play and was using the monster, whom she called 'HeartHeart', to try to absorb the audience's mana. As soon as the PARADIGM agents arrived though, the costumed girl decided that she would leave the rest of the mission to heartheart and ran off, accidentally dropping one of her equipment pieces (a key). Sailor Pegasus chased after her and used some illusionary techniques to frighten her (which it worked very well) but eventually the girl was able to escape with a spare key that opened a new gate/portal. The others then continued to fight HeartHeart, whose attacks specialized in draining mana and turning the agents into cute little animals. Eventually HeartHeart was defeated and the audience regained their strength. The Kuno siblings then showed up and tried to talk to the agents.. Tanto immediately latching onto the females and Nodachi trying to take Letty's pants (which infuriated Sailor Sirius). Eventually everyone left the scene.. and allowed Nodachi to take Letty's pants so she would shut up. ... which she did.

- Synopsis: Agents arrived in the Deep Sea Research Facility where many agents received their Guardian Forces, and found a nurse, Sonata, who assists Doctor Trask here in the surgeries that give GFs to patients.
[show details]
A simple questioning seemed to confirm that Guardian Forces could potentially be summoned using residual energy possibly - and potentially - from different sources, but that the Research Facility only used one of each. This served to further the theory that Inspiratio could be aggressively looking for different ways to summon GFs in answer to the party's receipt of them. Sonata also spoke of another test subject that received Leviathan before Izumi - likely Izu Tendou, but the party was unable to confirm. This mysterious test patient did, however, have their procedure completed by a Doctor Willet.

- Synopsis: Agents went to the Largias Continent, where missions 206-208 took place, and started in Moribidia.
[show details]
- Part 1: Agents were met in town by a militia, who were distraught to see a Paladin and people promising them freedom. They were ready to instigate conflict until they mistook Geth for a member of House Anabelle. They gave agents free pass to the city, and explained it was the capital but mostly a trading post for visitors. Agents learned the Temple was corrupted by necromancers and the dead buried there came back. Furthermore, they learned that the Vampire, Archduke Fitzroy was in charge of Luozorl, and House Demion was the main House of Clan Lambach here. After traveling to the temple, agents met with Evia, their contact for mission 207, who told them the story of Gaen Swordhand, some background about Anatole Lambach, and that the Archduke was a Vampire.
- Part 2: Agents traveled through the Schwarzwald, for what seemed like a few minutes, but was in fact four hours. Thanks to agents Vaelgir Stormblade and Sachiko Uchiha, they snapped out of the illusion, and were besieged by guards. After explaining their role here, the agents were allowed to meet with Pymarim Demion, who lived in a grand manse.. which was in fact a fortress, under an illusion. He was a gracious host and answered most questions, except when it came to the Archduke Fitzroy. He then gave them information on Gaen Swordhand and a book on the history of Clan Lambach.
- Part 3: Agents traveled north to Bagonia, in order to seek the Keishig. When there, they were assaulted by Lagahk and her Worg riders, and after a single strike, the agents were led to the Scarlet Moon Tribe. There, they were instructed by Gaakt to help recover their Chieftain's weapon from a powerful Frost Giant. Due to stirring up the hornet's nest, agent Seta was asked by the others to return home, which he did. Agents then moved forward into the North, and confronted the Frost Giant and three acolytes in the middle of a storm. The battle was fierce, but they managed to survive and return the scimitar, despte agents Bellheather and Ashley's critical wounding. Agents then spend the night with the Orcs to ask then questions about the Keishig and about Shamans, as well as others (to be filled in later).

- Synopsis: We went to my home to have some summer vacation fun! It was fine at first, up until we went to the Da Chao mountain to do some treasure hunting..
[show details]
- We found a cleared path blocked by a boulder which seemed really weird. We were able to get past it and inside we found some heiroglyphs on the wall that showed four elements: Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth with a weird octopus looking monster in the middle of it. Later on, Hibari-san (Seiya's cousin!!) said that it was an elder god. Deeper into the cave we found an arcane rune with an arch in the center of it. The arch had runes all over that started to glow and form a portal so a group of us went inside. Inside the portal there was a dragon that the group fought and defeated.. and then they were able to get back through the portal again after a good long while. That part freaked me out!
- There's a possibility that there's three other places that are on the watch for these elemental arches. We've gotta find 'em! We did good in getting rid of the water one though. After we got rid of the water one we went to the beach to have a barbecue and hopefully plan for our next move.
