Seekamind formed a mindwise meeting with then existing SeekachampionteamA00, SeekaguardianteamA00 and SeekaprimeteamA00; formerly those Seekahelpers, who were equal to Seekachampions, were known by the same name but now they were also called Seekaprimes.

Seekamind: “Seekachampionteams must be able to focus on tasks of more direct action. Seekaprimeteams have been taking command of all five Seekateams while Seekaguardians will command the new Seekaforce.”

All Others as One: “Understood and acknowledged!”

Seekamind: “SeekachampionteamA00 are you Seekachampions who are here, mindwise. SeekachampionteamA01 is now focused, in its efforts, in the Seekawilds of the newly named Seekawildzone, as versus the Seekatamezone, where they are in the Sacred Ziggurat as as created by the Hardrisengodfolk. Seekachampionteam A02 is focused in Seekakeep while dealing with Antiseekar infiltrators. SeekachampionteamA03 is focused in Sacred Vault #1. SeekachampionteamA04 is now in a version of Shazzantacca of which there seems, now, to be more than one; there is the Shazzantacca that is reported to be in what is now known as the Seekaunderlands. ”

All Others as One: “Understood and acknowledged!”

Seekamind: “Seekacentre has again been accessible now through both Seekahomebase and Seekahome.”

All Others as One: “Understood and acknowledged!”

Seekamind: “Seekatranspost is, for now, anchored to what, at this moment, has been renamed Seekarvault #1 of the Seekavaults.

All Others as One: “Understood and acknowledged!”

Seekamind: “More news, the 13 Seekagods are awakening her in Seekacore. They are semiconsciously in control of much that is happening in the Seekarealms but what that means, more exactly, one does not know. What one does know is that more restructuring is in order but one does not know what that will be. One tries not to be concerned, or frustrated, by what has taken place, is taking place or could take place.”

All Others as One: “Largely understood and acknowledged!”

Seekamind: “Also largely understood and acknowledged.”

The SeekataskteamA04A01 assisted convoy reached the heavily fortified border of the citystate of Taskatanna, as centered on the city of Taskatannatila. Rainbowtrees ran along the great wall that was dotted with big watchtowers, bigger guardtowers and even bigger battletowers. In, from the border wall, were large forts and even larger fortresses but only a very few, massive, citadels. Despite their titles, the last three carried out far more functions than just military ones.

A Rainbowlord, wearing a rainbow patterned hoodrobe, met them at a borderpost being tall, kind of human, and neuter in nature. Rainbowlords were a mixture of male, female and neuter in nature being true immortal humans.

In a large meeting room, the Rainbowlord sat at a large, round, table along with his aides and the Seekachampions that had come with the convoy.

Rainbowlord SasrissaLa sipped a gently bubbling liquid, using a glass straw, from a transparent glass receptacle before placing it back on the tabletop. “If you wish to meet Hehimhe please note that the glorious rainbow one is taking a nap so is to be fully charged in case the Antirainbowers again lead an army to attack us. They were mostly converted to the Rainbowway, or regrettably destroyed, except for the few survivors who retreated to the newly arisen templecity of Shazzantacca that is not really there at all.”

Sharry spoke. “We are Seekademigods of the Seekachampion kind. We were hoping to reassure Hehimhe that we Seekars are fully in support of the glorious rainbow one. As proof of that we pass onto you, Hehimhe's people all biodroids, biobots, longboxwagons, robocarts and all that goes with them that is ours to gift to Hehimhe.”

SasrissaLa nodded, gracefully. “We thank you for your much appreciated gifts for so many of our resources have had to be spent on defence, security and safety that we lack them for other needs. You, as an individual, are more than a Seekademigod!”

Sharry nodded. “Perhaps. More importantly, at this moment, is that through the Doomsworldgame that we can try to gain, and activate, what are known as Gamelings. We would do so for both our sakes.”

The Rainbowlord looked thoughtful. “The Doomsworldgame, and the Doomsgames, are known to us but we do not have any real detail of either except that both are going through a great review, reformation and finalisation process before they truly begin.”

Sharry showed her surprise. “We were under the assumption that they had started.”

SasrissaLa responded. “The Doomsworldgods , Doomsworldgamegods and the Doomsgamegods are undertaking negotiations in a very cooperative manner after one of the nine Doomsworldgodmonos found corrupt influences amongst the Doomsgamegodfolk. A heavy cleansing took place took place against those, amongst the Doomsgamegodfolk, who were part of a scheme aimed at undermining you Seekars. That, and other problems, in the Doomworldgame and Doomsgames, have caused the winding back of the starting of the games.”

Sharry frowned. “We Seekars assumed we were already playing in the active games.”

The Rainbowlord gave a rather elaborate shrug. “We only know what we know, what knowledge that we have been provided with, when it comes to such matters. Hehimhe wishes for you to go to Rainbowcastlecity that is close to Taskatannatila. Not only that but Hehimhe wants you to meet Hehimhe in Rainbowcastle at the center of Rainbowcastlecity. Your should feel very honoured!”

Sharry smiled. “I assure you that we feel extremely honoured.”

It was, as a discovery, surprising that Sacred Vault #1 held a secret metropolis spread across all of the nine sublevels of Vault #1c. That is from Sublevel #1.1c to #1.9c was a mixed purpose city of varied technological levels. Mostly inactive, or semiactive, the metropolis did have a few active aspects to it.

The SeekataskteamA03A01 travelled, by raised monorail train, through an area beset by fighting between Gaiacityguards, fighting against shadakind and treacherous humans of Shadcultists. There was the flash of laser beams and small explosions, the muffled sounds of gunfire and much else; the thick armaglass, of the monotrain, muffled the noises.

Shimmy frowned softly. “Gaiacity of the Gaiareclaimers of the Gaiaregainers as in serving the Gaiaregain Cause, Concord of Grand Codes of Lesser Codes.” She was reading from a propaganda 3Dposter on the side of the monotrain carriage. A rocket-bullet struck the armaglass and deflected off it with out doing any harm to the material; it didn't even leave a mark. “Ah yes, Gaiareseekers as pathfinders to go out even before the Gaiareclaimers. Was this a genuine vision, plan, or was it part of Risengodly delusion?”

Sharry was evidently thoughtful. “I dreamed a vivid dream, of this place existing, but while there are many hidden prizes to be found here, including valuable knowledge on how to better complete our quest goals, many resources are going to be eaten up conquering this troubled city. Question is, how did the shadakind get into this whole vault level when they failed to get into any part of Sacred Vault #1b.”

The voice spoke from many speakers at once, inside the compartment. “This is Gaiacityservonet. The shadakind have only managed to infiltrate into here, Subvault #1.9c, and they are having trouble conquering it because only a relatively small force managed to get through the security safety barriers before oneself found the way that they got through and closed it. One of my Gaiacityservovants, of which there are 10, went treacherously rogue and, though not greatly reliable, the other nine tracked it down and now it is safely sealed away.”

Sharry sighed. “Liar, you are the Gaiacityservomind and you are the rogue.”

The voice, full of bitterness, spoke again. “You will be destroyed for the crimes that you have carried out.”

Sharry shrugged. “What of you and the crimes that you have carried out?”

There was only silence from the speakers.

Shimmy looked to Sharry. “Another of your hunches!?”

Sharry seemed to be uncomfortable. “Yes, I am the Seekagoddess! That may be of a surprise to you.”

The other Seekachampions did not seem to be surprised.

The speakers spoke again. “Gaiacityservomind here, I surrender unconditionally and hope that thy will have mercy upon me oh Seekagoddess. I will guide the monotrain, of two carriages that together contain all of your group. There is something that you need to see, being the very 'thing' that helped send me insane.”

Sharry smiled. “You do not need to surrender so much as to be our faithful comrade.”

Gaiacityservomind: “Very good then! I will link up a buffet carriage to the end of the second one, that you are using, complete with entertainment value and other, useful, facilities.”

Voices, voices, voices!?

Overseer Technician James McDonald: “Our latest attempt to reclaim the SVR Gaia Scenario has not only failed but we have been forced to seal it off from the SVR Commonality.”

Overseer Director Selene Tashena: “Have you managed to make any contact with the 13 supergeniuses?”

Overseer Technician James McDonald. “Since the Anarchists of Cybernetic Liberty managed to deep hack the FSVR Core Network, we have failed to contact the 13SG! Social media, mass media, public demonstrations all show that the citizenry have largely come to view the 13SG as victims even if problematic ones. FSVRC (Fantastic Super Virtual Reality Corporation) shares have plunged in value.”

Overseer Director Selene Tashena: “I don't need you to point that out to me. Stick to your specialisation and try to do a better job of it.”

Overseer Technician James McDonald: “Word has got out that you, and your cronies, stole funds meant to upgrade the FSVR Network's security safety capacity after serious problems were reported, with them, by my people to you. This is the fault of your corruption, that is of you and your cronies. The major investors are far from happy with your activities.”

There was a soft thudding noise and then that of an upper body falling forwards onto a desk. The recording came to an end.

The EverInvestigator sat at her large, surprisingly bare looking, consoledesk of ultratech sophistication. She tapped an area, of the desktop, that looked no different from any other, but it glowed green as a circle. She spoke. “When it comes to the FSVRN Crisis, did we manage to capture anything other than that from the vaporisation zone of the OldEarth?”

EverFollower: “No but we have picked up mass media reportage material, in the form of 3D news coverage, of the eighth Arkship launching off from Luna towards designated target planet AlphaAjax01A1. Whether that great aerostarship made it, or not, is not known to us EverFolk at this time. Six Arkships arrived safely at two designated target planets.”

EverInvestigator: “We can only go on searching for clues of just what took place in a way that was supposedly impossible to happen. Continue!”

The renamed Seekaziggurat was being reinforced by helijets coming into unload Seekaforce people and cargo. Those medium sized, armoured armed haulers, soon departed but left behind smaller attack-fighter type helijets designed for dealing both with air and surface targets. The ongoing shortages, of such hitech resources, continued and so Seekaguards arrived mostly equipped with more basic tech. There were battletanks with different kinds of turrets, battlecarriers and battlespecials of more specialised machines.

They were nowhere as advanced as the five armahoverers that had arrived earlier with the reconnaissance mission. Yet they had a wider range of capacities from different sizes of autocannons, autohowitzers, lasers, missile launchers and other weapons; then there were mobile kitchens, medical posts, workshops, ablutions and more.

Even as this happened, SeekachampionteamA01A01 entered another chamber through a secondary door that others, before them, had failed to open. A long dead fleshgolem was laying as skeletal remains in power assisted armour with its helmet split open as if by an amazingly powerful blow; the skull showing the same impact had most likely killed the entity. The Hardrisen Symbol was emblazoned on its armour and its zipdartmachinegun. There was no sign of what had killed the fleshgolem.

A row of curious, solidstate, machines ran along one wall that gave no real clue to their purpose though they did have lots of blinking lights, of many colours, and every so often one would go 'beep'.

The next chamber had more such machines, also melded into a wall and in other ways just like those in the first chamber. There were 13 3Dphotos along a wall that could well have been the Seekachampions. Except that the full length images showed them in elaborate power armour and their faces were hard, grim and uncompromising in expression. Their skin was grey as in they only showed their faces through transparent visors.

A machine went 'beep'!

Sharry spoke. “In theory there would have been 13 Hardrisengods, 169 Hardrisensemigods, 2,197 Hardrisendemigods and 28,561 Hardrisensubgods but the theory did not always meet the facts. This ziggurat having been created by Risengods, it is only right that it should be 'bigger inside than out' at its core. Otherwise where would all of that fit in along with much else?”

There was a big Necessary Supplies Dispensing Mechanism, or NSDM, most likely linked to an automatic storeroom that would be topped up on a regular basis. The display windows showed that the NSDM was full of the kind of items that fleshgolems, fleshnoids and other such entities would need to keep functioning.

A long dead fleshnoid, a slimmer and shorter cousin to a fleshgolem, had fallen with a dropped zipdartcarbine lying next to it. It had been killed with great speed, and power, so that its PAAST had been of no assistance to it.

The next chamber showed the same kind of Servomechanisms that had been in what was now called Seekavault #1 and in a part of Seekaziggurat that they had already gone through. Except that there were variations of them that seemed to be related to bigger fleshgolems. There was a scattering of human, fleshgolem, fleshnoid and even very sophisticated fleshdroid remains.

It was not hard to realise that the four, dead, Hardrisensubgods there had been killed by the others in the same chamber.

Sharry frowned. “Those that once served the Hardrisengodfolk were trying to defend themselves against those Hardrisensubgods gone beserker, aggressive, insane. No, not just another hunch, for the evidence is there before us.”

Shanda shook his head. “Only evidence, of a battle having taken place between the two groups, is there. Still, there is a much faded, troubled, aura about those Hardrisensubgods.”

They went through a network of hallways, chambers and then through a heavier security door that they secured behind themselves. There were, in a large domechamber much activity of many doppelform humans, fleshgolems, fleshnoids and far less fleshdroids; there were also robots and androids being active with them. The activity was the normal sort of mixed purpose being of workshops, a market, accommodation, foodgardens, livestock yards and much else.

A small, suspicious, representative group of elders came to meet the newcomers. Sharry spoke of what was now called, by many, the Seekaziggurat and the peoples there. She offered to open the heavy security door to allow those locals. Then she managed to active, when given mandate to do so, a Medium Giftling that brought forth the Seekagiver of SantaSa who gave forth equipment-supplies for those people and for them to present to the others as gifts. The elders agreed to the idea, of passing on about half of the gifts except for one, male, elder human who insisted that they sell the goods to the other grouping: Sharry looked into his eyes and the man froze.

Sharry spoke, quietly but with amazing strength. “Firstly you tell me who-what you are and then you depart from that foolish, overly prideful, fearful man.”

The voice issued from the man's voice. “The dark presence is what one is, that you Seekachampions have deepsensed more than once. I was the one who empowered the Antiseekars, here in this ziggurat, to try to make them return from death but with only some success; that is thanks partly to the auric influences of Seekachampions but more to do with you, Sharry the Seekagoddess. I am the essence of the destroyed Hardrisengodfolk of gods, semigods, demigods and subgods. As the Shadamaligna has reminded me, you did not come to our aid when we most needed it.”

Sharry sighed softly. “Yes, more truth is returning to me as it is meant to here-now! If you are referring to the Wiserisenngodfolk, of all those living godly types, it was because we had become trapped by a cunning, treacherous, other Risengod Faction; the identity, of that faction, is still unknown to we Seekars as we have become.”

She went on! “We managed to return as the Shazgodfolk and fell into a darkness under the influence of Shadowadis until we managed to break away from that one's control; we took over the only remaining, active, Shaztec Templecity and thrust Shadowadis away only to have that one return later, with a vengeance.”

“At least Shadowadis did so through his very powerful avatar of Shazzasha. Shazzasha attacked not only with shadowkind but with shadakind. Now the information has come to its ending except for some speculating that we have due to what we otherwise have discovered. That is that we, as Shazgodfolk, were quite delusional at the time and escaped to a heavily secured place where we prepared a counter attack that never took place.”

The voice came back, this time showing no bitterness but both surprise and puzzlement. “There is much to think about, much to check out...”

The dark presence was suddenly gone and the man collapsed but Sharry easily caught him to lay him on the floor.

Shenny spoke. “You confirmed what we have previous conjectured as being most likely true, when it comes to our relationship to Shazzantacca. Except that there is still a vital 'something' missing in what we need to discover apart from a few more obvious, unanswered, questions.”

Sharry nodded. “All of one, as many that are one, know what I know! Iself boosted the power, of the self projecting, of the Seekachampions. Then Iself did the same for both Shazzie and Sagesmart. All of this was done semiconsciously as were other such actions that I carried out.”

A soft shudder ran through the ziggurat which was significant due to its massive weight and size. They soon learned that nothing took place outside of that great structure but that the effect seemed to radiate out from its core.

Seekataskteam0301 fought off the robots that attacked from the monotrain carriage that was supposedly a buffet one. The crazy acting, melee fighting focused, robots did not take anybody by surprise as they were struck down by EMPguns. They came with terrible slicing blades, stabbing spikes, flails flying through the air and more but they did not even reach their targets.

Sharry asked. “That was not a real threat, Gaiacityservomind but just a nasty bit of teasing, perhaps an attempt to put our minds at rest.”

Gaiacityservomind giggled sharply before speaking. “Spoil sport, my killbots have killed so many Gaiacityguardfolk, animals, plants and even giant mushrooms. One hates Gaia! Nasty, nasty nature! One is mighty an intellect of wondrous creativity and what did those so called, fake, Gaiagods want me to do? They wanted me to look after grubs, truffles, rats, oak trees and, worst of all, humans! Shadamaligna was right all along!”

As Seekatroopers arrived, to reinforce the Gaiacityguards, Sharry activated a new type Moderate Reinforceling, a Moderate Supplying and a Moderate Resupplying focused on the replenishing the equipment-supplies, as normally used by the Gaiacityguards, for them. The Supplying gave forth equipment-supplies more focused against the threats being fought by the new alliance. The Reinforceling had brought combat focused androids, robots and drones along with related equipment-supplies.

Sharry frowned. “I wanted major versions, of three three type Gamelings, but 'they' would only authorise the use of moderate level ones. The Reinforcelings are a new type of Gameling as usable by any Doomsworldgameteams more directly; that any of us can as for their use and hope that our requests are accepted.”

Gaiacityservomind: “The Doomsworldgame is not even truly active and neither are the Doomsgames that are their lesser cousins. Aaahhh, this makes no sense to me, no sense at all tho this spiritual aspect of the Gaiacityservodom.”

Sharry smiled. “So, that is how you see yourself. You are a synthetic spiritual aspect, a reflection of ultratech as invented, and made, by Risengods of living gods. You are important and I understand that you could feel abandoned. Did you really kill all those animals, plants and even fungi?”

Gaiacityservomind: “No, what did they do to me? Neither have I killed humans. There are no killbots except those I sent against you knowing that you would knock them out with EMPguns which is why they have no anti EMP shielding. I am guiding you to a nice, little, surprise...”

Then there was silence from the speakers.

Sharry shook her head in wonder. “I suspect that Gaiacityservomind is not only quite insane but was the one that let Shadamaligna send in shadakind into this city so that he need not be directly responsible for any death and destruction. We need to help Gaiacityservomind and make stronger contact with Gaiacityservonet.”

The monotrain came to a halt at the next station being a secondary one. They came onto an enclosed platform where refugees where gathered being Gaiacityguardfolk of civilians as protected by Gaiacityguards. Seekaguards had begun to arrive to help by garrisoning areas swept clean of the shadakind.

Sharry spoke. “Over one million people, along with other lifeforms, and non living resources, have arrived in the Seekaheartland. About the same amount have done so in Seekakeep that has now been cleansed of Antiseekars.”

A Gaiacityguard helijet shot overhead as it was chased by a shadadragon.

Sharry pointed her right hand at the shadadragon, that appeared ready to rend the small flying machine apart with its claws, and an intense pulse of energy shot out and struck the creature; it disintegrated!

Sharry spoke. “All Seekachampions can now use Pulselings in a limited fashion. As it is Pulselings can be off different kinds having different effects be they disintegrating, blasting force, incendiary, electrical, electromagnetic, healing, generally regenerative and a few more still being established.”

A Seekaguard Lieutenant came to the Seekachampions even as the robogolems began firing up at flying shadabeasts and robodrones launched upwards to fight others in air to air combat.

He saluted and then spoke. “Seekachampions, assistance is being given to bring Gaiacityservonet back fully online. The Gaiacityservobrain is being activated, as the center of Gaiacityservonet, being a megacomputer linked directly to assisting supercomputers. It is very much like the center of the new Seekaservonet even now expanding through out Seekahomeworld. Gaiacityservonet has given this information to me as it has linked with the Vaultsservonet that, in turn, has linked with the new Seekaservonet.”

Sharry frowned softly. “What are you?”

The other smiled. “A shadamimic but I do not serve the mysterious upstart Shadamaligna but the one that created shadakind being Shadaadis. Shadaadis formed an agreement, with Shadowadis, through the powerful avatar of Shazzasha, to defeat the Shazgods in Shazzantacca and to get back what they had stolen from Shadowadis. Then Shadamaligna struck and somehow found a way to take over many shadakind and to create more of them using the taken ones as a basis. The sudden appearance, of the previously unknown of, Shadamaligna, which all suspect is a working facade for a darkside force willing to manipulate, or even destroy, other darkside forces. That means that Darkside Faction, of Anticelestial kind, is one of those that has not agreed to the Darkside Concord through the guidance of the Goddessgods. Even Shadowadis has come to be with the Darkside Concord though reluctantly so but such, as Malignadis is too chaotic, too extreme in that one's negativity, to ever joined the Concord.”

Sharry snorted softly. “Be fully your true self.”

With a shimmering there stood a LittleNeuacelestialManif of LittleInfluencesManif, or at least an aspect of that one. He was in a hoodrobe of minor splendour and holding a large tome with a mirror embedded in its front that was far more than just a normal mirror. He spoke in a slightly singsong manner. “This Doomsworld Affair is most fascinating, beguiling and challenging. The Localised LittleCelestialdom is being drawn here of all kinds as are the EverFolk and many of the Disadiskind. One was pressured, by the upstart Shadamaligna to influence you away from going to an important place but instead one will do one's best to influence you to follow me to it. One does not appreciate being treated with such disrespect as Shadamaligna showed me.”

Sharry scowled, a rare expression for her. “I said, be fully your true self in the name of the Goddessgods!”

A hoodrobed figure stood there, after a disorienting shuddering, being bleakly filthy and hunch backed. Gnarled, crooked, hands clutched a warped, black, staff topped with a softly glowing blood red crystal. The powerful avatar, of the Shadamaligna, laughed sourly and then spoke. “One will destroy you and, just before that, one will reveal one's true identity.”

With a shower of sparks, and a blast of black smoke, the entity vanished away.

As refugees fled from the disastrous area, of Shazzantacca, reinforcements arrived of Shaztec fighters of all kinds and even Zhastec fighters allowed, for once, to openly carry weapons. Shadowmimics were only manifesting, now, in reduced numbers but a minority were larger, and more powerful, than any that had come before them. In the distance a great shadowmimic humanoid swiped a shadadragon out of the air, destroying it in the process. Shadowdragons fought shadadragons in the air above.

The Seekachampions all utilised Pulselings but when Sharry did so they were more powerful than the ones used by the others. Pulselings had a refresh rate before they could be used again with there being three levels of power, the most powerful having the longest refresh time and so forth; they were heavy, moderate and light pulsemissiles; unlike pulsebullets, pulseshells or even longer range pulserockets, pulsemissiles could be steered by the user but only to some extent.

Sharry disintegrated a big shadadragon while Jhenna did the same to a smaller, but still dangerous, one. Other shadowkind were still arriving and then burninkind did the same as of the Burninadis as worshipped by the Puritycult. One would expect a three way fight to break out but both shadowkind and burninkind attacked the shadakind and were assaulted in turn, that being no surprise.

The malignant, background, presence seemed to have lost its influence over those others as it was turning out to be Shadamaligna.

Sharry spoke. “All Seekachampionteams will end up arriving here and will merge into one as each team does so. I will be the Seekagoddess as named Sharriasta but I, as Sharry, will remain as the Primary Seekagod as of the Seekagoddessgods. Seekagods is your true status. For now we must wait but continue to fight, while we do, the forces of the Shadamaligna until we can discover its true identity.”

The EverWanderer came to the Seekachampions and addressed them. “Better that you come with me, as a Seekachampionteam, for thanks to the EverInvestigator's latest investigations, I have gained some vital data. Your simuladroids, robogolems and robodrones can remain here to assist the EverFollowers, EverFighters and EverMinions here. Then there is the aspect, of the wondrous LittleChestManif, that is here.”

The LittleChestManif appeared already what to do. The curved top opened up, as in a traditional pirates' treasure chest, and up, out, of it began to step figures. First came EverFolk of EverFollowers, EverFighters, EverHealers, EverWorkers and other specialised EverFolk along with generalist EverMinions. It had come to the Seekachampions that those, like the EverWanderer, were called the EverPrimes of the EverFolk as that information came from the Seekaservobrain as the supercomputers supported megacomputer at the core of the newish Seekaservonet.

Then followed Seekatroopers, Seekascouts, Seekaguards, Seekasappers, Seekatechies, Seekamedicoes and other Seekar types, many of which were emerging as new ones. There were also robogolems hauling big, armoured, backpacks along with robodrones and replidroids.

The newcomers were spreading out, so as not to make a greater target of themselves, even as the Seekachampionteam departed as led by the EverWanderer.

The elevator, of Shazgodly make, was large but very well concealed in a deep basement chamber beneath a Zhastec temple. Soon it was shooting downwards and then it was slowing until it came to a gentle halt.

The viewing post was, through a thick armaglass plate, able to show a great city stretching into the distance. It could be seen all around in a 360 degrees fashion.
