Yuuki's bird of paradise plant...disappears from the Araki brothers' penthouse. Yuuki asks if anyone has seen it. Various people agree to help him look around.
MAY 11 (WEDNESDAY):
On Wednesday morning, anyone who can perceive magic will notices a very large plant/tree growing in the middle of Central Park. They also notice it rapidly increasing in size, reaching the height of a five floor building in matter of hours. Regular, mundane people will seemingly not notice it and conveniently walk around it.
In light of the missing plant and various other strange things, Icchi reaches out to Ofelia to ask what she thinks about what may be happening to his brother.
Minnie and Eli make posts about it. Eli tries to get people together to investigate the tree.
It turns out that they are not able to get rid of it, though, due to a barrier; they also can't seem to disable the barrier.
Faihan sends James and Kaveh to evacuate the Elysium people to Taboga Town to keep them far from the trees reach.
He then calls on the the Tech Squad (Mateo, Santi, Nati, and Brisa) to come and see if magitech can disrupt the tree feeding and keep it from growing (they manage it!).
Last but not least, he sends Mateo and Eli out to search the university for a possible kill switch (or signs of the brothers) and takes Juliet with him to raid Akane's mansion. Both teams find odd magic circles with stakes in the ground. They pull them out. Mateo takes photos...and the stake.
There are no new Elysium memories after this night.
MAY 15 (SUNDAY):
After a restless night and a quiet (but exceedingly rainy) morning in Taboga Town, Faihan announced that they needed to search for a third magic circle/stake.
Eli asked Yuuki where Akane might have interests besides her home and the university, and Icchi told Yuuki who told them that the family also invested in the biomuseo...as well as owning a second property in the forested part of the island.
Faihan set up two teams: Santi and James to explore the museum; and he, Mateo, and Eli to go and find the forested property.
Santi and James turn out to be a great team and infiltrate the museum with few hiccups, locating a third stake and pulling it out, as well as grabbing a bunch of data...
The forest group has a much harder time, first finding the place, and then with the strange tower they locate there. It sends monsters after them, and they roll terribly, so beating the monsters off of them becomes quite a trial. But as they are doing that, a spire of light and dark appears, and when they are finally able to go over to it, the brothers come running out. After a tense reunion, Faihan tries once more to investigate the tower. It goes poorly, Alejo is hurt, and he is convinced to stop and go home...in part because Joaco promises he will finally come clean to the group.
The 10 Chosen have been awoken to their powers. They head to the tree and, on Joaco's directions, manage to combine their magic to create a hole in the barrier, but once inside, they find a door that leads seemingly into a Void in the wall. After some consideration, they decide that Joaco will scout what's inside the door, protected by the magic of the other nine.
