There were small, brief, flashes of energy along with the hatred filled screams of some of the tigerchimps.

Rainbowconverted tigerchimps fought malignant ones that were under the influence of a local situated Malignanter.

The generally enhanced former used basic level energy bubbles, more focused shields, and pulses against the insanely, physically, boosted enemies.

Other tigerchimps fought alongside one, of those sides, or staid back as if undecided. Then the last began to join the Rainbowliance, Rainbow Alliance.

Then came Rainbowspheres floating amongst the battle and the malignantly enslaved tigerchimps fell as they were abandoned by the malignant entity that had sent them insane. Only now was it clear that the fallen were all formerly male adults gone rogue, that condition having left them open to exploitation by the Malignanter.

The tall, hoodrobed, figure arrived of a manifestation of the EverWanderer of the EverFolk. Soon he, and his three EverFollowers plus nine EverMinions, were assisting to save the fallen tigerchimps.

He, as named Melandias, spoke to a tigerchimp matriarch. “Somebody has been drugging tigerchimp bachelors living at the outskirts of tigerchimp settlements. They seem to be using a variety of means from darts to free food left out for the taking and other tricks. The targets become extremely rogue and much vulnerable to Malignanter manipulation. The surprise is that many tigerchimps do not become either extreme rogues or fall under malignant influence.”

He showed her a dart that she took and examined with a frown. She spoke. “Yes, we have been finding darts but also parcels of food that we destroy and even some odd booby-traps consisting of poisoned spikes. There have been brief encounters with a strange smelling, very pale, hairless figure in a black hoodrobe a little like the one that you are wearing.”

A Rainbowsphere floated close by.

A light rain began to fall as a first touch of a rainstorm coming from the north.

Melandias spoke again. “The description could fit a wide range of beings serving different factions but also those being deceptive including shapeshifters, illusionists and many other types of deceivers. For now I will summon in some resources to assist in this situation and perhaps the Rainbowliance will do the same.”

There was a light, localised, Rainbowflash of rainbow energies. There was a rejuvenating, regenerative, effect on lifeforms and objects. There were more lifeforms there, now, than the EverFolk and the tigerchimps along with their gear. The Rainbowflash had originated from the 13 Rainbowspheres in the area.

People, and domesticated wildlife of tamelife, were now there along with carts, wagons and other vehicles including clean, efficient, burning steamcarts. There were many, of a few types of lifeforms, such as mannoids and other wildfolk including more human like wildmans. Yet there were also mortal Rainbowfolk, of various kinds, along with far fewer Rainbowfollowers as lesser Celestials.

Yet there were a few others as well, of mixed nature, all of them curious.

The EverWanderer, and his EverFollowers, took items from the EverServer that, at that moment, had the identity and shape of a steamcart. Somehow most others, there, failed to note that more items were removed from the 'steamcart' than could possible be contained in the enclosed back of the kind of vehicle that it seemed to be; that is a boxback steamcart.

The nine EverMinions assembled strong, waterproof, prefab structures, delivered consumable items to the SisterBrotherhood outpost that was still being set up; the items were all food, drink and cooking related. Running the outpost were the Sisterhood of Protection that had brothers serving it. Helping to protect the outpost were members of the Brotherhood of Protection of which a few were women; in both were those of the neuter gender.

The irony was that the SistersBrothers wore the same kind of hoodrobes as did the EverFolk, except for the EverServer, of course, but so did a few others in that group. All were of the same tone of dull, dark, green. None of the wildfolk did so preferring webbings, of pouchbelts dotted with other items and wore not much else.

Molenoids, a kind of mannoid, offered to dig bigger warrens, even warren networks being more than one warren along with other features. EverFolk were soon giving them items that would assist their efforts and enhance their warren network.

Three monkeynoids came racing into the encampment as couriers of the backs of flightless ridebirds, that type of mannoid being ideal riders for those type of smaller, light, fast ridebirds.

There had been found a dead, hoodrobe wearing figure, of very pale human like features. The corpse was impaled into stone with a bronze spike that ran through 'his' chest, the gender being hard to tell. The very strange symbol, on the flat top of the spike, was of the often feared, hated and denigrated Shadowcult. According to the spike's symbol, the humanoid had been killed by that body but in truth somebody outside, of that group, could have used such a spike so as to mislead any investigation into the killing.

Melandias, as the EverWanderer, went to investigate the scene of the crime. With him went one EverFollower and three EverMinions. They were soon joined by a Rainbowsphere and some Rainbowverted tigerchimps along with some mannoid fighters better trained and equipped, than most of their kind, along with being combat veterans.

The rain was slowly-steadily falling heavier.

Very high above sparkled, for just a moment, the sky ceiling of the bubblezone realm that they were all in. A black dot zipped briefly into sight, and then out again, thanks to the same small gap in the rain clouds. Yet the EverWanderer looked up sharply in time to observe it ever so briefly. He sighed softly and had no other obvious reaction to what he had somehow both observed and identified despite it being so very high above him.

It was then that apedogs began to pelt past with adults holding backsacks of goods or piggy backing those apedogs unable to move very past.

Melandias held up his hand and the apedogs became calm as they slowed down to a halt to group to one side of him and those with him. The mannoid fighters at once formed a protective barrier partly around them.

Approving of their choice, the EverFolk left some items for the refugees, who had fled from malignantly insane apedogs, and then went to where the fighting was taking place; that is between malignant apedogs, all of them adult males, and other mannoids of which not all were apedogs.

[One][1.3][3][3] Follows directly on from previous post.

The Rainbowsphere touched some, of the malignantly rogue apedogs, and caused them to vanish away with very small side-effects of Rainbowflashes. These same incidents caused other, closer by, malignant rogues to become both calmer and less malignant; they also bolstered those trying to capture the aggressive victims.

With the assistance of one monkeynoid scout, who was followed closely by her beloved ridebird, the EverWanderer reached the dead, mysterious, figure. There were monkeynoid, and bigger chimpnoid, warriors in the forest canopies around them as they had been there to try to stop others from interfering with the death scene.

Melandias examined the body, crouching close to it as he did so. His stare was very intense, giving the odd impression that he was examining it with more than normal vision though he was using human like eyes. Then he reached out and gingerly touched the spike's flat, disk shaped, back end.

He spoke. “This is a shadowman being a shadowatis human hybrid as a Shadowsublord or of the lowest tier of the Shadowlords; they are the least powerful but most common of their kind that serve the shadowatis in the mortal realms. Even the Shadowsublords are not very common on Hopesworld. Even such as he should not be in this place, this sealed off bubblezone or at least it should be sealed off. We few EverFolk here gained both permission to come here, and the way to do so, by certain Celestial Authorities.”

The Rainbowsphere was now floating fairly close to the EverWanderer aspect. It spoke with an odd twangy sounding voice. “Celestiraynbahybridom?”

Melandias smiled. “No, even if it should be, perhaps, but the Celestriallium as of Celestial Justice that deals with the mortal realms.”

He took a softly glowing, translucent, metacrystal sphere out of his hoodrobe and pressed it against the flat end of the spike. For a second the sphere glowed suddenly brighter. He nodded, as if to his own thoughts, and then placed the odd device back from where he had taken it.

“He was killed by his own Justisfier Spike for he was a Shadowcult Leadership Investigator of constable ranking. He did not seem to have put up a fight.” He shook his head, a little, in wonder. “The Shadowcult is very hierarchical, and disciplined, but somewhat eccentric at times in how it operates. It can also be brutal, even cruel and quite twisted in its thinking at times. This dead one was met by what he assumed was a higher ranking version of himself who ordered the constable to pass over his Justisfier Spike before that other used it to kill the constable. The question is was the killer really who, or even what, the shadowman thought he was? I picked up a subtle impression of deep deception and cunning manipulation made more effective through the use of darkside psychic backed psychonics.”

The EverWanderer caused the corpse to vanish away with a soft sparkling shimmer, taking the spike with it and of course all of the other gear. Truth was it was now 'inside' the EverServer that was seemingly 'bigger inside than out' though only by a moderate amount. In that place was not only more EverFollowers, and EverMinions, but also an EverCompanion. She would soon begin to investigate the dead one, and his gear, under very secure-safe conditions.

The difficulties, with the malignantly rogue apedogs, were over.

With the Rainbowsphere closely by his side, Melandias was soon enough arriving back at the growing encampment only to find out that yet more refugees had arrived. This time they were fleeing far more than just more malignant rogue hybrid entities.
