I had hit a wall in research for Neural Inhibitors, something just wasn't clicking in my mind for them.

  I looked at the clock and I had spent 3 days reading and testing and nothing worked, my body was covered in tiny cuts and the room smelled of sweat, I needed a break and well what better way then visiting the Guardians, since going out would take too much time.

  I stood up and grabbed some shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, it was a joke item given on April first, and I went to the shower.

  I started my meetups at Lilith, she had yet to give me a response to her reward, she was the guardian of floor 12, the same floor my room was on.

  "Lilith how have you been over the last few days?" she jumped clearly startled at my sudden presence "Ive been good, how your project been going?" I shrugged "its been complex ... many failures but that is how most projects are... Wait howd you know about it?" she smiled "its my job to know what happens all throughout floor 12 so when you don't leave your room for 3 days I figure your doing something important" I nodded "Well what have you been up to?" I asked, she swiftly responded "well I've been learning a few sword and magic techniques since they may come in handy for being an adventurer" I nodded "good, good, have you thought anymore to your reward" she nodded her head slowly "I just don't know what I could ask for" I smiled "if you ask for it then I will give it to you, regardless of what it is" she frowned "anyhow I should get back to work" I nodded before teleporting to floor 15.

  Amara was looking over some blueprints her yellow eyes seemed focused on the blueprints more then me "Hello Honorable General Zenith, what brings you this floor?" I hadn't interacted with her much since that first day where they gained life, "Just checking on all the Guardians, so how have you been recently Amara?" she shrugged "Well since you have sent some guardians and area guardians our to explore and do other tasks, I've been managing them and sorting through their weekly letters" I looked over next to her desk where a pile of around 30 letters sat "Well if you want time off then, you can take it" she shook her head "Amara Seraphina Celestis doesn't take time off simply because the bastion would go into chaos" I chuckled "I guess, but if you want i will assign you a few other area Guardians to assist you" she smiled "thank you for the offer but I will pass" I nodded before stepping out of the room, next up floor 14.

  I stood in our meeting room of the floor, it might take me some time to find Astra due to him constantly working on things for the bastion, he like me made Artifacts, I likely could just wait at his workshop, and that is what I did.

  there were some gears and what looked like armor plating "wonder what he's making" I pondered out loud, I picked it up and moved it with the utmost caution "Intresting idea" he was making an addition to his armor, definitely an interesting idea for him since he was 100% mechanical, but for him it could be an advantage since he could become modulera in a sense only issue was he cant change his Neo Form.

  Astra walked in and bowed the gold of his skin gleamed in the light "Great Creator, what brings you to my humble shop?" I set down his Modular armor "Just checking on everyone, also good work with your idea for modular armor" he looked up "I am Suprised you figured it out so " I shrugged "well I theorized about it forever ago but I never made it due to possible structural issues" he picked it up "well I believe if I can get this to work out then it will be a new Era for Us" I chuckled and nodded "well best of luck, I will leave you for now" he nodded as I walked off, I then teleported to floor 13.

  the Ice Domain, man I hated this place, it sucked to traverse and you couldn't see for Shit, so I had chosen to teleport to the castle directly, I sat in the treasure room of this floor since Eira loved treasure she was a Dragon who stayed in Humanoid Form constantly.

  an icy voice spoke "Hello General Zenith" Eira her icy blue hair was spread around as if making a snow angel, her eyes were closed and she Laid in the middle of a pile of gems that gleamed in the Light "Hello Eira, how have you been" I might have interrupted her sleeping "I have been well, and you?" I nodded "That is good I to have been quite well" I stood in awkward silence before she responded, "when will I get more treasure?" I acted like I was pondering it, in reality, I wasn't even thinking about the question "once we Take the world" she sat up "so that is what you want for this world" I didn't register what she even said "well I've got to get going" and seconds later I stood in the exact opposite type of place, it was well it seemed like Hell, there was lava everywhere but in the center stood a white Chathederal, it stood almost as if imposing its will on the land.

  Floor 11 Home of Nyx the arch-demon, when I opened the massive doors I was immediately greeted by Nyx her Black hair flowed through the Hellish air while her Eyes had a devilish red gleam to them. "are you here to give me the go-ahead on the Farm?" I frowned, I had heard nothing on this farm "Not quite, I'm going around asking all Floor guardians how they are, so How are you Nyx?" she nodded "well a little stressed if I'm going to be honest, I'm not doing anything out there and I feel useless to the Bastion" I chuckled "Dont worry about that I have a plan" she seemed slightly happier "So what is this plan then?" I shook my head "Ill just let in unfold"

  I teleported down to floor 10, I hope Nyx doesn't read too deep into it and plays it off as a joke, in front of me was Mist
