Talk:The Kuipter Files: A Ludusian Crisis/@comment-16075172-20150414144756

So, anyway, for the reference of Lud, these are basically the plans for Chapter 2, and Lud can edit this comment to change the things that are incorrect from my understanding and input suggestions in other notes if he wants to. (Put in edit-only view because it's spoilers.) <!--Taking place after Chapter 1, Kuipter has notably been terrorizing Ludus. He has put some focus on LDZX employees, being as they are the greatest threat to him (Ludus' government offenses are somewhat limited) and Revelian is a part of them. For this reason, important government officials have established contacts with LDZX Corps., in order to establish a sort of opposing force against Kuipter.

Ludicrine and Mori call a meeting (to which they themselves are late, for comical relief in the chapter), because they believe they are to bring about a 'trump card' of sorts against Kuipter. A recent prophecy from the Wonder Jungle's telepathy board points towards something that the two of them have been studying for quite a while now, trying to fully understand it. They have been studying the fabled Mindstone, which was only brought to their attention because of the fact that Mori had discovered fragments of a Mindstone Fragment. They say that they have learned that its power is supposed to be controlled and focused by intelligent individuals, and to be used wholly by a single vessel, as it's power and being requires the essence of others to exist, and requires a number of individuals (souls and hearts) to truly work.

(This prophecy, by the way, is a thing I made up, as follows: "Fragment of Will, from Mindstone's power, Will unite in Ludus' darkest hour. Their powers of Speed, Strength, Sight, Intelligent Mind, Stamina, Unity, and Trainer of their kind. Seven must have their power awaken. Before the final toll is taken. The dragon comes to save them all, Or else to darkness the world shall fall." It is supposed to reference the seven Ryus, but specifically doesn't mention the vessel because I'm pretty sure that in TKF:F the whole "Rev going Kaiser" thing was supposed to be a plot twist of sorts.)

Ludicrine and Mori have been studying the fragments of a single certain Mindstone Fragment, which is what the others assume they are referring to using as a 'trump card' detailed in the prophecy. However, Mori and Lud firmly believe (Or understand) that the prophecy refers to a separate Mindstone Fragment, which must be understood by them. The prophecy does directly state that it refers to the Will Fragment, which they know is different from the fragment that Lud and Mori have discovered and have been studying. They believe that the fragment pieces they discovered, as well as the prophesized Will Fragment, were infused into the Wonder Jungle, and that it's pieces reside within creatures created by the Wonder Jungle (This is as to explain why they had those Fragments all along (They being the Witches and the Ryu pets, who have the Fragment pieces)). The prophecy details that their power is currently untapped and uncontrolled, so for the Will Fragment's power to be used, they will have to unlock the hidden powers and potentials of the pets that hold these fragment pieces.

In their attempts of using the Mindstone Fragment piece they found before all this, they gained access to whatever the heck The Pillory is supposed to be (I'm not sure whether it's an ancient magic contraption thing that they just found or if it was specifically created by Lud) and found out about it and what it basically does. (The following comes from my understanding of what the Pillory does, sorry if I'm wrong about it) It is able to detect pieces of a Mindstone Fragment within a short range, as well as give a good form of organization towards the catalysts and the vessel of the Fragment to have it work, and the device is capable of letting one unlock their potential in being able to use it. The plan is to use it on pets that they have access to in order to unlock the power of the Mindstone Fragment (Basically they just get a bunch of pets to come by and get scanned by the Pillory or however that works and hope they get lucky in picking one that has a Fragment piece). Because the prophecy specifies the Will Fragment as being important to this, Lud finds the wisest course of actions for them to take would be putting their focus almost entirely on finding the Will Fragment, and no other parts of incomplete Fragments. Also, the Pillory is noted for having to have a recharge time after unlocking a Ryu's potential.

Now, Dr. Wasp is a very intelligent monster who previously helped Lud and Mori with their Mindstone research. He would be the one to work with the LDZX gang on this project now, as well. He takes quite an interest on the subject of the Mindstone and Mindstone Fragments and Ryus, and he is accepted onto working with the project. He is not, however, one of the people who is in the room while the Pillory is used. At the beginning of this, he states that if one pet who has a Will Fragment piece is hiding under their nose the whole time but doesn't get discovered until the last second, he will get very upset. The reason for this is because irony and humor and yeah.

Mori does agree with Lud on the idea of a focus on the Will Fragment, fitting with the point of the prophecy, but he leaves the work on that to LDZX Corps. and instead takes his resources with AM Inc. to locate the remaining pieces of the Fragment that he and Lud had been studying previously. This is because he believes that he knows where the rest of the pieces will be, and also that the added power of this other Mindstone Fragment will be helpful just as the Will Fragment will be.

And these are the ideas. Hopefully I didn't mess up anything that you already said, at least not too badly, in any case. You can make corrections to this comment as you please and don't need to make another comment correcting me. If you want to make separate suggestions for the second chapter that aren't directly related to corrections on my part, then please put your ideas below this paragraph and I'll read them when I can and give feedback in the same comment. -->
