I am not sure what Arya Darkstorm expected to achieve with her rather blunt message to Rising Phoenix but the effect was as immediate as explosive. Given her grand display of fury that illuminated the entire city of Las Vegas, I don't think The Upstarts are planning to join the New World anytime soon. An unexpected effect was the sight of an enormous Phoenix in the sky made all the homunculus ran in terror towards the monolith. There were hundreds of them. It was the first time that we could get a notion of their real numbers. Obviously on their trail, there were all the major players of this game, including the very angry Rising Phoenix and her friends.
What followed was pure chaos and wanton destruction. Soldiers from Elysium, servants of the Grey, Reptilian hybrids and their lackeys, soldiers from the Academy, the Upstars, random opportunists... and us. Luckily for us, my dear friend Zirconia Starfighter has a gift with fire and kept us from becoming a human barbeque at the hands of Rising Phoenix. Other weren't so lucky. When it became painfully clear didn't care that much about the homunculus safety, and were more focused on burning everything and everyone to the ground, every group opted to make the most of a situation totally out of control. So they picked as many homunculus as they could and ran away, using any trick no matter how petty and miserable.
As you may guess, we were on the receiving end of those tricks. The only thing that at the end saved our lives was the presence of our friend Alice. She managed to get to Rising Phoenix and got her to stop the battle, that had managed to turn all the land next to the monolith in a quite literal Hell on Earth. Suddenly ashamed of her actions, she decided to share the remaining homunculus with us and left. We were too exausted to do anything than count our blessings. Now we have 22 homunculus with us. We were in no condition to ask for more, and we don't really know what to do with them, but that is a story for another day. For now, we can say that the Gathering of homunculus in Las Vegas is over.
