Brianna and Gen are preparing to go on a trip to Jade. Bri makes Genn promise not to tell anyone about the true intentions of them going... to try and bring back Raphiel, with the soul key. Seance is also about to head to Jade, back to his homeland in the Seer's Desert, so he offers to teleport the two.

When they arive at the Seer's Hamlet, they are being observed by 3 people, a Blister Titan, a dwarf named G'nolga, and a good 'friend' we have met before, Hanzo. It apears that they are after magic users. Bri and the others meet up with Gar, and they go to an inn to get their rooms. While there, we find that Genn has TRUE feelings for Seance.

Before they finish talking, the mage stealers arive. They seem to be winning, till the Blistar Titan ends up having like 100 or so Peebo's on it's back... BOOM!! G'nolga is about to get away with Seance, but Gar is waiting outside. Normaly he would be no match for G'nolga, but there is an eclipse... wich allows Gar to do something special.. the Lunar Rave, increasing his powers 30 fold. He defeats her temporarily.. using a throw move that G'nolga recognises.. one of Julia's.

And as one last supprise... suddenly... Brianna has shrunk a bit.. her body having switched over to the oposite traits of what he had before.. she now had regular ears, eye stripe on the other side, and spots all over her body, and a tail!

Things continue on at Civ Alpha. Gina has to get to another part of the city, so she goes to jump across a gap.. and Juuuuuuuuuuuuuust misses, and starts to fall. But Ryan pulls off a save.

Meanwhile, some others have arived at the sight. Montara, and also Pee Wee Talon and his thugs. Brit, who was off scouting and saw them arive, gets cought up in a fight with Daishi. Brit seems to be loosing, but she she is saved as Daishi is called off.

Inside, they have deciphered quite a bit. They found out, WAY back, there were 2 races here, the Saurians, and the Betans.

Montara also encounters one of the betans. The male twin, is absorbed into the betan creature, and apears that the sister is killed. Brit runs into this new combined creature, and prepares to fight it with the phantom ring.

Back on Jade, the changed Bri and Sheila go to take a bath.. Bri using some magic to move things. Tirga is there at the baths, but Sheila makes him leave. Bri starts to go on about how hot he looks, but Sheila trys to ward her off. Bri says that she's jelous, and Sheila hits her. The hit knocks out Bri for a moment, but also does more.. it jars something from the back of her mind... GRAVE DIGGER returns!

On earth, Brit fataly wounds the Beta creature. But with a slip of the tounge from Charolette, Brit finds out that Gina and Penny had kept something from her.. the more she used the phantom ring, the more it sped up... util BOOM.. no more Brit.

Back on Jade, Brianna and Sheila are still in the bath, and Sheila is freaking out that she has made Brianna loose her memory. An Bri is using magic... hoo boy..

We find out that there is a little bit more to the Mage stealing bit.. that it is Array, and someone else, stealing them for SOME reason.

The Jade group trys to figure out what is wrong with Bri, when Genn arives, and sences that it is not Bri there.. it's THE CURSE. Then all hell breaks loose. She tries to take out everyone. The edge guard try to stop her, but it's hard without hurting her. Genn manages to stop her though, threatening to to inside her head. So she complys.. for now..

Back on earth... another Beta creature attacks.. but the Suarian stops him? o.O

The group watches on, as the Saurian and the Beta Phantoms fight each other. Charolette seems to think that the saurian was the bad guy. They start discusing over this.. and about the Phantoms... and they find out how they were hurting Brit... they had absorbed Penny's Silver crossbow bolts... Hm.. why did she have those, eh?

The Saurian comes to where they are.. and they confront him with being the wrong party in this fight.. and guess what.. they were right! It starts to attack. Brit trys to stop it, but it breaks her legs. The battle seems to be going bad, but the absorbed Mantra in the Batans body arives. He says it is there fight, and they will get them out to safty.

The Betans take them to outside, and tell them to never come back.

End Beta-1...
