Storyline[]
Void World[]
The Void Speaker who calls herself Telepath meets the player, seeking their help. The Void is in trouble because a crazy usurper called Collector destroyed the communication network between the regions and enslaved them. Some of her allies managed to regain some control already, but the Collector's governors will not give up their claims so easily. They will try to raid the allies' base, and the Void Speaker needs players to defend the Void.
Void Speaker's Adventure[]
In the meanwhile, the attack on the Accelerator continues. Indigo comes to the Accelerator looking for captured friend Ishtar, where she does not find her. She keeps calling her name out, but to no avail. Indigo deals with the Accelerator guard who has come to them and is victorious over him. After dealing with the guards, she finally spots Ishtar. She introduces herself to Ishtar and offers to take her out of here. Ishtar does not understand as her senses were still not fully recovered, which Indigo realizes. She asks her for how long she has been in a coma, which she does not answer. Indigo warns Ishtar that they do not have much time and she has to come to her senses quickly, which is why she injects her with a stimulant, after which she stands up, trying to see the stranger more clearly. But suddenly, Ishtar hears quiet sobs of a little girl. Indigo told Ishtar to leave her be, or else Shadow will destroy them if they took her with them. She then ask her condition, if she knows her own name, to which Ishtar answers positive.
Indigo understands that Ishtar is confused and apologized for rushing. She then asks what does she remember. Ishtar replied that she hear voices calling for help. Indigo explained that they're from the Void and she could hear them because she's a telepath. She then gives Ishtar a helmet (Scolopendrae) so she could use it if the voices are unbearable. Indigo continued by telling her that her memories will gradually return and Ishtar won't like them, but she is here with her, so she doesn't need to be afraid. Still confused, Ishtar asked who is Indigo and why is she helping her. Indigo answered by saying that she's her best friend, that everything else can wait and she could rely on her. From that moment on, Ishtar relied on Indigo in everything, until the day Indigo disappeared. Ishtar searched for her and travelled into the past. Seven lone years have passed.
One day, Ishtar is scolding Shibata since she told him not to barge in multiple times during training with her students as it distracts them and telepaths need concentration. Shibata reassured her that he's not taking taking much time and just want to do a short survey. Ishtar knew what he meant and told him she doesn't want to recall events of the future. Shibata still insisted by telling her that her connection to the Void is important for his research of the Void Room and started asking about her parents. Ishtar told him to get lost and Shibata finally decided to leave. She then continued training with her students until she heard Indigo's voice inside her head calling for help in Falcon's Gorge. Okada came to bring good news that he have obtained some new data on the Sumi-E model then realized Ishtar is leaving. Ishtar told him to test the Sumi-E model without her as she has to be somewhere else.
Ishtar arrived at the Falcon's Gorge and met the Silver Witch. She asked her where is Indigo and what did she do to her. Silver Witch answered that it would be polite if Ishtar introduce herself first, while introducing herself as mistress Song, and that she's just picking lilies there, minding her own business. She told her that she hid the wounded Indigo in the halls of the temple. Before the Silver Witch could ask anything, Ishtar spotted Void Riders that have come for Indigo and told her to get ready to fight. In the middle of the fight, Indigo appeared and asked Ishtar if she's making a fuss again as her wounds aren't that bad. Ishtar doesn't know how to respond to her. Silver Witch saw more rascals coming. Not wanting to ruin their reunion, she apologize to them and told Indigo to fight if her wounds aren't deep. After the fight, Indigo laughs and recalls their past, saying that after 7 years, they're still a great team. Ishtar questioned her whereabouts all those years. Indigo actually already prepared a long and interesting story of her adventures (or she's being sarcastic) but since she knows that Ishtar wasn't in the mood to listen, she cuts to the chase and told her that she was in the Realm of Infinity and found her brother, and now they finally are able to start the Battle of Laws. Ishtar was speechless. Indigo complains that Ishtar is going to sulk now, as they've been wanting and waiting for the Battle of Laws for so long, but then stopped, saying that she has the right to be offended. The Silver Witch that was listening to their conversations was interested in their topic and asked them for the details.
Later on, the Silver Witch came to Ishtar and Indigo to tell them that she had made a deal with the Frozen Dragon School students, allowing them to stay in Falcon's Gorge for as long as they want. Indigo thanked her as she said that there are no other place to hold the Battle of Laws aside of the foot of the Bridge-Between. Ishtar told Indigo to stop her celebrations and scolded her that she has the Collector's lapdog on her tail. Indigo swore to her that she will tell everything and told her she doesn't need to worry about the 'doggie' as she will talk through with him. However, Ishtar refuses her ideas as she doesn't want to negotiate with the Collector's minions and doesn't want to come near him, telling Indigo that she had gone mad. The Silver Witch then cut off their conversation asking what they need the ritual for as it it dangerous and could cause unpredictable consequences. Ishtar asked her back what they need the ritual for. Indigo answered that it is to free the Void, which Ishtar continued saying that the Void must be freed. After a few explanations, the Silver Witch asked them if she's correct that the Battle of Laws only can start by Ancients. Indigo replied saying that Ancients are not the current problem for her, but the fact that Ishtar is being a 'stubborn donkey' is. Ishtar doesn't understand how her effort in protecting her is stubborn. Indigo replied saying that her brother is ready for the ritual, but the shadow rift that he usually enters to Ishtar's and the Silver Witch's world has been occupied by local bandits and told her to get rid of them. Ishtar knows the rift she's talking about and told her that it's their land so they can't just kick the Insusceptibles out of their village. Indigo corrects her by calling them 'Insusceptible bandits' and told her to do anything she wants but she has to make sure no one is rummaging around as her brother cannot be seen in plain sight - it's too risky for both him and for those whose around as well. Indigo then ordered the Silver Witch to get shadow jade as she's a witch and witches know where shadow jade is circulating. Ishtar then tries to persuade the Insusceptibles to leave the rift.
Finale: The Gates of Shadows[]
All the shards of the Hero are finally collected. Kibo shows up to report that the Descendant's generals are approaching the tower in an attempt to stop Mnemos from performing the ritual. May, however, is determined to tell him that they are ready to defend the ancient even if it would cost their lives. The Void Speaker's triplets is keeping them from entering the door but the sisters are outnumbered. May orders Void Speaker (or Ishtar as she calls her) to activate the defenses in the communications center and get her people out and also orders Jet to help her.
When preparing to fight the Descendant, Ishtar as well as other Void Speakers (or shadow bots) assist the Hero on learning how to control the armorwalker.
