I've noticed that more and more frequently new people have been joining the CandleWorld ARG, and we've had to provide a messier and more confusing explanation every time. So I decided to make this to use until we have something better! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CONTINUING FROM PART 5 (Padzel and Sharp meet Kai and their group of Pilgrims, and Sharp explains Vox's influence over Aetus probability) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Padzel decides that this is fine, and that Sharp and the Gardener (who had mysteriously disappeared) could leave them to handle things. Sharp decided he didn't care about their quest, and wished Padz good luck. As Padzel went to have a rematch with Aetus Vox (who had converted the Marquess and Solus-Detteri to Voxian-Hatchlings), Blue met Tsorig. Blue argued with Tsorig for a while, before Tsorig decided that if Blue wouldn't solve their "dumb riddle," he could ask the Spine itself for the Shard. Tsorig's armor collapsed, and the Spine emerged to fight Blue. Meanwhile, Padzel proposed an honest fight against Vox. To win, they had to hit Vox with their glowing red arm, once, until they either gave up or won. After a good amount of attempts, Padzel still refused to give up. In an attempt to force them to give up, Vox dilated their relative time to about 12.7 years per 1 second outside. During this, Sharp felt guilty for their actions and decided to help Padzel once again. The Gardener, whose form seemed to be melting, gave Sharp a Hedron shard and instructed him to go upwards to find Padzel, in hopes that they could destroy Vox through their Pragmism. Upon trying to use the shard, though, Sharp was synced with Emperor Blue, causing Sharp to take on his identity. Sharp realized he could once again see Pilgrim comments, and used them and the shard to have Padzel download "Skeleton Key." With this, Padzel destroyed Vox, and released Molly. Sharp was confused at first, because she was supposedly "not who Vox caged." The Gardener revealed that it was the Daughter of Visitation, to Sharp's shock. As Molly thanked them and went to leave, Padzel asked her to explain the cycle and why she was doing this. She explained that infinite cycles will cause infinite torment, and that the only way to save everyone was to end the universe entirely. While they debated, Sharp told Padzel not to believe her, as she was "obsolete," and that they should follow his plan instead. Molly responded by telling Sharp that he was the obsolete one, which angered him to the point of threatening her. Upon her making a comment about how he killed the Thorn, he tried to attack her. Molly took control of Sharp's body in retaliation and went to take the Dodecahedron. Padzel attempted to stop her, but she informed them that, because they didn't have full faith in Pragmism anymore, their powers were useless. After Vox was defeated, Vox-Space cracked open, and the Vox-Hatchlings had a chance to escape. Pilgrims who were converted during the battle grew wings. As Molly captured Padzel, Visea entered the time-trap and attempted to deter her from ending the universe. Molly responded by telling them that ending the universe was not her intent; she only planned to ensure there would be no more cycles. Suddenly, the Fish and Pecan broke into the Space using shovels gifted to them by Pilgrims and attacked Molly. Meanwhile, Blue battled the Spine. Neither the Spine nor Blue seemed to be gaining any ground... Until the only two suggestions meant for Blue came from the comment section. One proposed that Blue hug the Spine, and one proposed that he grind for levels and come back later. Blue hesitantly carried out the former... The Spine wasn't expecting this, and warped them to another location (possibly their inner-space). They gave a bemused Blue the Shard, and kicked them out of the Space. In the time-trap, Molly was still battling the Fish and Pecan... Until Blue returned to the Dodecahedron, and he and Sharp's synced logins put him into Sharp's body. Right after he was brought into the time-trap, Pecan, the Fish, and Padzel all attacked at once, giving the Fish enough time to swallow the Dodecahedron and cage Molly. With the enormous amount of power, influence, and knowledge gained from the Dodecahedron, the Fish imposed Fish Ideology onto the universal chain. The Bell-Ringer was annihilated and death as a concept ceased to exist, bringing everything dead back to life and reviving every past version of every conscious entity. Aetus-Vox, Krazvalt, Xyliss, every "Voxed" and dead Pilgrim, Jokeofapilgrim, and presumably every "Voxed" entity was revived. (continued in Part 7)
