You have just attained Pandora and have left the cave to find you are in a giant forrest on a mountain of some kind.

Chelsea
The redhead slowly walked out of the cave, looking around at the trees around her, her brain still working overtime as she tried to figure out what the hell was going on... as she tried to figure out how she was able to try to figure out anything in the first place. She was supposed to be dead... people don't just wake up elsewhere when they die, do they?
"...Well, if this is hell, it's a lot less crowded than I imagined", she said to herself, taking a good look around, trying to figure out if she had seen or read about this forest before... while keeping her guard up in case said forest was home to danger beasts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 stones (Ef.) into General Knowledge (History & Geography, The Empire) to try and figure out where she was, and if she knew that forest.
5 into Intelligence, +2 from Acute Senses to keep an eye out for trouble.

You recognize the Forrest as being in an area far away from the Capital, or even the Revolutionary headquarters.

Chelsea
"...and if this is hell, it looks strangely just like home. Not that it would be very surprising..."
She paused, pressing her hands onto her forehead, and gritting her teeth.
"I don't get it... I don't get any of this. How is this possible? I am hallucinating this all? Is this purgatory? Or some sort of joke? ...Sh*t."
She took a moment to calm herself down, figuring out it would not help much to just freak out. She breathed slowly until she was fairly calm again.
"...Alright. I won't get answers by talking to myself... I gotta... I guess I should get back to the others. Hopefully they won't freak out when they see me..." she said, reaching for Gaea Foundation, and proceeding with transforming into a white dove. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4 stones (Ef.) into Gaea Foundation (Metamorphosis) to turn into a white dove; adding Flight 3 (Through wings) and Beak/Talons +1 (As Claws).

Chelsea (White Dove)
Cooing slightly, Chelsea flapped her new wings, heading out into the sky and towards Night Raid HQ. She had to see other people, to talk to them. She needed to know that this all wasn't just a freaky dream. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 stone to maintain Gaea Foundation;
1 stone into Flight to head towards HQ via flight at Speed 3.
5 stones into Intelligence +2 from Acute Senses into keeping an eye out for flying danger beasts.
Gaea Foundation (White dove; Flight 3 (Through wings), Beak/Talons +1 (As Claws).)

You soon fly over the revolutionary base, which is now an Imperial military base. Bustling with soldiers.

Chelsea (White Dove)
Chelsea's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, shivering in horror at the thought of what might have happened to lead to such a situation.
'No... no, no, no, no.', she thought to herself as she landed in nearby bushes, out of sight. Where were the others? What had happened to her friends? What had happened to Night Raid? Did the Empire... did they manage to get them, too? What if they were all dead? What if she was the sole survivor... again?
'...No. Calm down, Chelsea. You don't know anything just yet', she reasoned herself silently, taking a moment to study the imperial troops occupying the fotress. She needed another disguise... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 stone to maintain Gaea Foundation;
7 stones into Concentration to study the soldiers, their outfits, their behavior, etc.
Once I know enough, I will use Gaea Foundation anew; 3 stones to activate the Shape shifting 9 effect to turn into an imperial soldier with as much attention to detail as possible.
Gaea Foundation (White dove; Flight 3 (Through wings), Beak/Talons +1 (As Claws).)

You observe and study several soldiers.
"Men! What are you idiots doing loitering!" a woman clad in pink her long pink hair done up in a bun, pink high heels clicking on the stone walkways. "This exterior is not going to clean itself!"
Mine yelled.

Chelsea
Chelsea was so shocked by the sight, that she literally transformed back to normal from surprise. Quickly hiding behind a tree to keep spying on them, on her, she remained silent and observed the situation, Mine in particular.
Mine, an officer of the Empire? That made no sense whatsoever. Looked like her theory about this being hell was a lot more likely all of a sudden. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13 stones (Ef.) into Black Ops (Stealth); 7 into remaining out of sight, 6 into observing Mine, and figure out where she's going, if anywhere.
Also, of course, listening to any words spoken using 4 stones into Intelligence +2 from Acute senses.

You watch her march off muttering about disrespect to her friends.
Just then you feel someone right behind you.
"Ch-Chelsea... Is that you?" Leone asked. You spin around to see her, Like Mine she looks years older, and is wearing a military uniform, only hers seems mixed with a kimono of some kind. She's in her cat form, her long hair in a floor length ponytail.

Chelsea
"Gak!" she exclaimed somewhat amusingly, taken entirely by surprise. "L-Leone-chan?!"
She stared at her, wide-eyed, having NO idea how to react. Was she the one she remembered? Was this the future? Or some sort of alternate bizarro world? If it was... did that mean her friends were traitors? Or had they won the war and made the Empire a good Empire? She had no idea how to react.
"...I... um... y-yeah? I think?" she stammered, before regaining some control over her nerves. "...Leone-chan... what in the world is going on here? What is this all? Since when are... you guys officers of the Empire?"

"Wow, you've been gone a long time. The Empire was overthrown five years ago." She said. "We're Republic soldiers now.... Wait a minute, how are you still alive!? They put your head on a pike, your body was fed to a dog."

Chelsea
She gasped silently upon hearing the news of the Empire's fall. It had been her strongest desire ever since she first became an assassin... She also raised an eyebrow when Leone mentioned her... untimely demise.
"...Republic soldiers... the Empire is gone?", she repeated, unable not to smile. "...Dreams do come true."
She paused for a second after Leone's rather graphic description of her end.
"...I... don't know. I have no idea. I... I remember dying. I remember the pain... my fingers... the bullets ripping through my body. I remember everything I thought just before... before I was killed." She sighed. "And then... I woke up, alone. In a cave quite away from both the Capital and here... I was alive, as far as I can tell, and my Teigu was whole. Also... I found this", she said, showing her the eerie Teigu known as Pandora. "For some reason... I can use both."
She shook her head.
"I don't know what happened. I don't know who, or what, brought me back, nor why. And I have no idea why I can use two Teigu, or if I'm even truly alive, or human anymore. I... suppose we have to run tests of some kind or something."

"Yeah... Come on... Mine will want to see this." She said leading you off.
------------
"Chelsea... How..." She said in shock.
"We don't know how yet." Leone said.
