Paradigm stretched in her bed, Esmeray asleep next to her head, Scientist said that he and the other Seven were staying with the Ancients for now, at least until the forcefield situation was sorted.
The only one able to get in was Amber who had visited a few times. She sighed and tapped her hands on her chest.
In one way she wished it would all go back to normal, to what it was before, "You wishing for stuff!" She jumped hearing a small high pitched voice, A small Ghost dog was sat on the shelf above, "Uhh who are you?" Paradigm asked.
He floated down and giggled, "Not important at the moment! you said you wanted this all to go back to what it was before right?" his Ghost like tail swished back and forth, "Yes, but i know you'll just do some weird trick where I go back realise I don't want it like that blah blah blah" She responded.
He giggled and patted his chest, "Your good! I like you! but no its not like that, I don't have wish powers, that's Filis thing" Paradigm raised a brow, "Who's Fili?" She questioned, He meeped and covered his mouth with a smirk, "Like I said not important! but" He hovered up to her nose and booped it.
"I can help you! I just have to use my power once! for your peace and quiet you waannnttt" He swirled backwards and she sighed nodding, "Fine, do it" The Ghost dog shot back up and clapped his small hands together.
"Done! your welcome for making your life more peaceful, bye!" He zoomed away and she frowned, "Crazy dog much" Paradigm sat down with a thud and glanced at Esmeray who flicked her ear, "What? I just find this to be odd"
Paradigm rolled her eyes and walked down the stairs, just to find that....The forcefield was gone, "Huh, that's weird" She stepped out and looked around, "Hey Sci the forcefield went down" The Sevens comms however, fizzled and crackled with static.
"Esme rift to the others please" She asked and the AI nodded flicking it open immediately, Paradigm hopped through to where the other Seven just were and....they weren't.
"Esme where are they?" She demanded, The small AI perked, "Its the dog thing I'll bet, because you wanted peace and quiet I guess he just....erased everyone out of existence?" She meeped at the end and backed up slightly.
"He...did WHAT?!" Paradigm yelled stomping forward, "That damn little- we can fix it right?! RIGHT?!" She asked rapidly, "I dont know" Esmeray beeped back, the woman groaned and paced around, "Everyone is gone, my family is gone, Scis gone, EVERYONES GONE BUT ITS FINE!"
Esmeray blinked slowly as she watched Paradigm ramble on while pacing around the room, "I think our best course of action would be to find the ghost dog?" She suggested, Paradigm stopped in her tracks and nodded.
"Yes, yes it would" She tool a deep breath and sighed, "But where would he have even gone" A bang erupted and sure enough did he show up, "Hi! you called?" He yapped.
Paradigm frowned and crossed her arms, "When I said peace and quiet, I DIDNT MEAN ERASE EVERYONE FROM EXISTENCE!" The Ghost dog flew back and giggled.
"Awww but thats all part of the fun!" He spun around in the air and tapped his chin, "Okay, I see your mad but I can fix it! in about a few days" Paradigm stuttered on the spot, "W- A FEW DAYS?!" She yelled, He nodded and floated backwards, "Mhm, afraid so, that's how long it takes for my power to recharge, anyways have fun bye!" He vanished in grey smoke again.
Esmeray cringed when Paradigm punched the wall producing a large crack in the middle, "Esme I can't- I can't do this for a few days" The AI hopped up to her shoulder and nuzzled her cheek, "We'll get through it, for now we just have to....put up with the silence"

"Yippy" Kizas voice growled, "I hope you intend to explain what the Seven have just told us" Her feathers flickered about.
He giggled and shot forward, "The girl wanted peace and quiet so I gave it to her!" Imagined barged forward holding both Jade and Axton, "Yeah! by erasing us from existence you crazy dog!" She yelled, Kiza sighed deeply and waved her wing.
"Luckily this only affected Reality Zero and not everything else" She turned to the group, "I'll work to get his powers reversed, in the meantime I suggest getting comfortable, I can have Sura help you with that"
Scientist huffed and folded his arms, Ash blinked, "I'm sure Paradigms fine!" Tiny beeped appearing from transmat, "She hates being alone, alone Tiny, there's a difference" He groaned and paced around in a circle.
"He's gonna be doing that for a while" Ash mumbled glancing at Themis, "Wanna go find Qui and Iu?" He smiled and jumped up, "Yeah let's go!" He picked up Astra who laughed as she was bounced up and down in his arms.
Visitor on the other hand was watching him pace around. At least for about five minutes until he had enough and went over.
"Sci, stop worrying" He started off, Scientist looked up and his eyes lowered into a frown, "Thats easy for you to say your girlfriend is already here" He went back to pacing and was grabbed by the others arm, "Sci seriously, pouting won't make this go away, just calm down a bit and let Kiza do her job"
Scientist sighed through his nose and nodded stepping back, "Besides it sounds like Yippy is pretty young He probably didn't realise the extent of his powers that much" Visitor folded his arms.
"But enough of that, how about we go see if Suras ready, knowing her she might already know what happened" He added on but was quickly interrupted by the Ancient appearing, "I hear someone's talking about me" She chuckled and landed with a thud.
"Well I've put a temporary protection on everyone so the afterlife won't attempt to drag them in on entry, come on let's get going" She turned and took off again, "Come on mr stress" Visitor patted Scientists back, "You still have kids to look after as well" Tristy phased in and chirped.
"This is gonna be so much fun! I've never died before!" She beeped, Visitor threw a look, "Trist we aren't technically dead" He pointed out as they walked after Sura, "I know but this is still so weird, it's fun right?!" She zoomed around their heads and quickly landed onto Visitors hair giggling.
"Someone seems way too excited considered everyone on the Island was poofed" Scientist mumbled and rolled his eyes making Visitor glance in his direction, "Come on cheer up a bit, we'll be out of here soon" He stopped in thought.
"And- I'm sure we're probably going to have to talk to Para about making deals with crazy, young Ancients who can't control their powers yet" He rubbed the back of his head and whistled. "That....should be an interesting talk"
