"Two games, three games, he still sucks hedgehog balls," Beatrice said. "Anyways, let's just go. I've gotta finish making my shoes, Chip's being... whatever the hell he is, and I'm itchin' to find out whatever Mr. Gun's deal is." As she talked, she absentmindedly picked up a piece of pure lead from a nearby table that had somehow not gotten smashed in the fray, and as she ranted on, it slowly began to transmute into something different.

Gantz was the first to notice the weird change in shape that the piece of iron was going through. "Uh.... Beatrice?"
Climber quickly noticed it just as quickly as Gantz did. "Miss Beatrice..." He looked at the iron with wide curious eyes.

"Huh?" Beatrice said, looking down at the piece of lead. Except, it wasn't lead anymore.
It was gold.
"Woah! Holy crap!" Beatrice yelled, dropping the piece of gold. "How the hell did that happen!?"
"I knew it..." Chip said with a smirk on his face.

[After this post, wait for Nutcase, I want to keep things even.]
Gantz took the gold in hand, heavy as it was, and alternated his view between the gold nugget, and Beatrice herself. "Hmmm...." Pulling out his keyblade, he pocketed the gold piece for the time being. "Hold still a moment Beatrice." Bringing back memories of Gantz's previous testing when Beatrice was a plushie, Gantz slowly moved the keyblade up and down Beatrice's form, scanning it completely.
Gantz was surprised when his keyblade's glowing suddenly went completely and utterly NUTS when the scan crossed her chest where her heart was. "Well... That's peculiar..."
Climber, curious, raised a painted on eyebrow at this. "What... What does it mean Gantz?"
Metal walked forward offering a word of wisdom... Or was it sarcasm? Since he still had only a robot voice, it was hard to tell. "It would appear that Beatrice has a strange source of magical energy inside her."
Gantz, taking this in a moment, thought some more on the subject... ... ... "Beatrice..." I was giving her a curious stare. "Did you have anything inside of you while you were a plushie? You know, like how Climber has a Chaos Emerald inside of himself?"
Metal turned to Climber to look at him in disbelief. "Speaking of which, you had a Chaos Emerald was inside you this entire time and you never knew what it was?"
A confused look was Climber's response. "Chaos Emerald?"
"Please keep in mind, Metal; this IS Climber we're talking about." Gantz answered simply, shrugging. "I was going to tell him sooner or later when the time was right."

Nutcase's face became so pale, it appeared as white as the face of Clown Man's own digital face. "A CHAOS EMERALD!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR F---ING MIND!?!?!?!?! What if Him found out about it?!"
Nutcase cringed at the sight of Gantz's shocked and terrified expression after he finished his angry rant. Talim was also scared, and even Beatrice to an extent along with Metal and Chip.
"I-I'm sorry guys, it's just that of all things that had to be here, the Chaos Emerald is one thing that should have stayed home... And Chip, I want you to promise menot to try and tamper with the emerald. It feeds off bad vibes as well as good vibes like a cop in a donut factory. Too much negative vibes can do something catastrophic, so even if you were to get back to your people with it you might end up wiping yourselves out of existance."

"I don't want a chaos emerald anyways," Chip said, waving his right hand in mild annoyance. "It would be useless for us. We've already got an unlimited power source anyways."
Beatrice thought for a second. "I didn't want bug-boy over there to steal it, so I've been keeping my Philosopher's Stone in my body... why?"

Gantz chuckled awkwardly, "Well Beatrice, as good a job as you've done of preventing anyone from using it... You've also prevented yourself from using it too... Or at the very least, using is safely."
Beatrice's confused stare made him continue. "Look, the keyblade has pinpointed that the Philosophers stone is either right next to your heart..." He took in a sharp breath. "Or it has BECOME your heart."
Metal took in the info a second, "Meaning, that Beatrice has become a powerful yet, unpredictable magical source."
Talim shook her head, "So what should we do about it then?"
The boy shrugged. "Heh, I wish I knew..."

"My... heart?" Beatrice poked her chest nervously. "Well, this is really freaking awkward..."
"No kiddin'..." Chip said. His eyes were throughly fixated on her chest (not that there was much to see there anyways). Beatrice caught his stare, and then calmly walked over to Chip, and kicked him backwards.
"Perv. Perv-bitch. Pervobitch." She played with a few other pronounciations for a second before settling on 'Pervertbitch.'
"So, when I got turned back from being a plushie, the Philosopher's Stone became my heart? Well, I guess being able to turn lead into gold by touching it is kinda cool, but I guess that means I'll never be able to use a pencil again..."
"Actually, it's not really lead, it's graphite--"
"Shut up! I was making a funny! BITCH!"

Nutcase looked at Beatrice, worried, and said, "This places you in a dangerous position. There's a lot of people who would kill for such a power. You're gonna have to stay away from all forms of lead until we find a way to help you control what you want turned into gold and when you want it to."

Beatrice scoffed at such a suggestion. "Dude, back home, it's already pretty well known I've got a Philosopher's Stone. I already fight off guys who want it all the time. I ain't worried."
"Nutcase is right, Bea-bea. You need to watch your back!" Chip said in a tone that was somehow simultaneously cheerful and concerned. It was almost paradoxical, and most likely infuriating to anyone nearby.
"I still ain't worried. If anything, this means I'm probably gonna live forever, which sucks ass, but that also means I'm never gonna have to worry about cash again! Cha-ching!" Beatrice grinned at the thought of all of the Fluffy plushies she could now buy.

With that decided, Talim turned to Gantz looking somewhat concerned. "So, Gantz..." Gantz turned to her as well, scratching the back of his head. "When will you finish this experimentation of yours to find Soul Calibur? I have plenty of faith you can resist the temptation of Soul Edge, but still, I'd be a bit more comfortable to have the piece you have. With it, I can find Soul Edge and destroy it."
Gantz shrugged, "Well, honestly Talim? I don't know how long it will take. I've been experimenting with the shard for the past few weeks, and so far I've been given little to no result." Shaking his head, he thought some more on the subject. "It may take a while before I finally crack the code for this experimentation..."
Talim nodded, guessing she should've seen as such, coming... ... ... Suddenly a thought struck her. "Wait a minute... ... Why are you looking for the Soul Calibur anyway, Gantz?"
Gantz stopped right where he was, looking a bit nervous.

"I think I know." Nutcase said. "It has to do something with these damned bugs. If any weapon can put an end to them, Soul Calibur most certainly can. I may have only heard one or two mentions of the sword but I know enough to know it could really help us out."

"Or... maybe it has something to do with that 'strange feeling' Chip kept going on about," Beatrice suddenly said, looking at Chip.
Chip shrugged. "Guilty as charged, Bea-bea. I was lyin' about that feeling like the Philosopher's Stone before anyways. I know what the Philosopher's Stone feels like just from being around you, Bea-bea!" He grinned and put his arm around Beatrice's shoulder, who brushed him off.

Gantz sighed, catching the attention of everyone at the scene...
And his face? It was showing a rather guilty expression...
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Okay, something was up.
"Actually... Nutcase... I..." He slowly lifted his right hand up.
It was strange that no-one ever paid it any mind before; but his hand appeared to be wrapped up with bandages and the bandages appeared to travel down his arm. Possibly, they just thought it was a fashion statement, some possibly thought injury...
"You see." Gantz began uncomfortably, guiltily; it was strange to hear him like this, the way he was wording it, you'd think he was finally coming clean of some kind of felony. "I... I kinda... I kinda, sorta..."
"Gantz?" Climber asked with a concerned expression. Metal's appeared no different. Talim's look had turned into one of reserved judgement, meaning she was saving her response for whatever Gantz said.
Needless to say, the glares did not succeed in making him feel better. He gulped as he undid the knot of the bandages around his hand, and started a long torturous unwrapping process, slowly making his way down to the arm...
'ZAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He was just about to reach his wrist when an energy beam sounded. Gantz quickly turned...
'CRAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!'
What a horrible sound it was when the beam connected, with a powerful slam. It didn't cut through him, but it definately sounded like it broke a bone as he was sent flying. He crashed with a painful thud on the floor, unconscious before he hit the ground.
Turning quickly, they were amazed to see that Silver Sonic, still functioning, had been the purpetrator of this sneak attack, having lifted his energy blaster just enough to aim at where Gantz had been standing. "Threat... Neutralized."
[Gantz is okay, but Silver Sonic won't be soon I'm pretty sure.]

"Gantz! Dammit, you stupid piece of junk--" Beatrice started, but was suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice.
"THOUSAND NEEDLE RAIN!"
About a hundred broom needles rained down from above and struck Silver Sonic, and then exploded.
"EXPLOSION BROOM DEMOLITION!"
The wielder of this broom jumped down and smashed Silver Sonic over the head with a broom, which of course exploded and made a crater in the ground.
"Jesus, I leave my cave for two seconds, and all the sudden, people are beating the shit out each other! And of course you're involved, Bully Bea!" the broom's owner said.
"No fucking way..." Beatrice said, astonished. "It's Saltwater Boy!"
