Just Liu and some reunion moments with his sis

OH AND REMA'S BACKSTORY?? TOTALLY INCREDIBLE RAHHHH

Other than the fact that they were formed with the spirits of the RM themselves, they work very differently.

Unlike normal rings where you are only able to use the ability, the spirit rings allows the user to talk to the spirit of said ring up until an ability is used.

Speaking of abilities unlike normal rings, each of the spirit rings have two separate abilities, a sub ability and a main ability, based off the RM spirit that they belong to.

For example Liu's spirit ring's sub ability and main ability is tactical planning and electrical engineering however you can only use each ability once as they require 6h recharge to be used again.

When using the main ability depending on who's ability it is, it can have a use for up to 1 or 3 times before the ability wears off while a sub ability can last for up to 30 minutes before it wears off.

Another function of the RM spirit rings is that two spirit rings can be used at the same time for a special ability however by doing so it will cause both rings to be unusable for 12h but the special ability is extremely powerful and has a use up to 5 times.

For example by using Kuga and Miyo's rings together it creates a special type of pink paw power that causes the person that was hit to be paralyzed for 5 minutes and allow the user to access the memory of the person hit in that short time.

While using both Lonky and Popo's rings allows the user to either use an illusion ability or a combined ability of both Lonky's elasticity and Popo's card ability fused together.

However at some point in his research he found records of another tribe that may also be able to harness the power of the spirits known as the Albino Tribe, while it's unclear whether they still exist due to how rare albinos are.

Gai decided to take his chances.

Ths Bug tribe is consist of 6 main bug species, the founding species grass hoppers and ants along side beatles, bees, mantises and dragonflies.

The tribe is a mix of technology, forestry and tunnel systems despite having three different styles of life it is still one of the most advanced tribes.

A fox fact.

The most background-heavy mini comic I've done so far. Probably, this won't be the last time. 💀

Okay so the situation is that no one knows how the RM's spirit rings work since Gai stole them before the DV7 could figure out how they worked.

Plus the information about the RM turning into spirit rings was kept a hush case away from the public eye or the tribes by the Metronome, since the RM were powerful as they have survived fighting and convincing a literal god to not reset the world and manage to use the full powers of the spirits themselves without the help of the ultimate watch.

So the RM spirit rings might be the most powerful and dangerous rings every known by the Metronome and the Leo tribe. Which is why they want this to be kept a secret to prevent them being fallen into the wrong hands.

Which unfortunately Gai had stolen the rings and no one knows where he is.

So only Gai and his brothers are aware about being able to summon the RM's spirits using the rings.

Although I am planning something to happen that might make this knowledge known to the DV7 eventually.

I'm honestly okay with Popo X Sola, I'm pretty sure younger me did passive-aggressively ship those two.

In the au the two never really thought they actually had a crush on each other and thought that they just saw each other as really close friends.

That was until Sola learned that the RM were dead (that's what they told the public, since they couldn't let the information about them becoming spirit rings get out as it could be dangerous). She was distraught at the news but she was more upset at the fact that Popo was dead.

It was then that she realised that she actually liked Popo more as a friend but it was to late.

Meanwhile Popo does misses Sola and occasionally wonders what she is doing now, he doesn't realise that he has a crush on her which Lonky tends to tease him about.
