[[File:DragonDragoonUtahimeFive-BlackFlowerBlooms.png|250px|thumb|The black flower.]] The {{nihongo|'''6/6 Contact Occurence'''|触発生 6/6|Sawa hassei 6/6}} was an event that happened on June 6, 998 AD. It involved the opening of [[Mercury's Door]] in the [[Cathedral City]] by the [[Intoners]], who subsequently came in contact with the [[black sludge]] that was trapped behind the door. The black sludge was actually a [[flower]]. It made the Intoners summon [[daemons]], unleashing chaos upon the world. It was eventually stopped by the Intoner [[Zero]] and her dragon companion [[Michael]].
==History==
It began when the landed lords Lady [[Cerulea]], Lord [[Gray]], and Lord [[Shahor]] arrived to the Cathedral City in order to try and open Mercury's Door. Cerulea gave [[Baltas]], a man she found by the door some time ago, [[Old World language|Old World writing]] to speak into a nearby terminal, but his voice data was deemed incorrect. He was therefore teleported away.{{Bookref|U5}}{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 7}}

Later, the Intoner sisters arrived in the Cathedral City, also with the goal of opening the door. When Intoner [[One]] touched the door, she had an ominous vision of what was behind it.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 8}} Before she could fully process what she had seen, the sisters were ambushed by the landed lords.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 8}} The lords made quick work of the Intoners, killing [[Three]], [[Five]], and [[Four]] while fatally injuring [[Two]]. Cornered and desperate, One began to [[Power of Song|sing]]. Her song shattered the door and unleashed the black sludge within.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 9}}

The sludge gathered the dead Intoners. It mended them and used them to summon [[daemons]] while sealing Intoner One in a sphere.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 10}} Gray was subsequently killed by the daemon [[Armisael]].{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 10}} Cerulea soon turned on Gray's son Shahor, killing him to become more powerful. This was short-lived, as she too met her end moments later. Her end came at the hands of [[Partition]], her former student and servant to the Intoners.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 11}}
One was eventually freed from the influence of the black sludge by her dragon friend [[Gabriella]].{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 11}} The sludge began gathering all the daemons it summoned into itself and launched an attack against One, who was able to block it with her magic.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 11}}  As the sludge forced the dead Intoners to sing, they all grew up at an accelerated rate, becoming adults.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 11}} Afterwards, the sludge formed into the shape of a black flower.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 11}}

[[Zero]], the eldest Intoner, arrived just in time. She used her powers to create the [[disciples]], who weakened the flower's power. Her dragon companion [[Michael]] then blasted the black flower with dragonfire, destroying it once and for all.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 3, Chapter 12}}
==Legacy==
The events that transpired resulted in the deaths of all the remaining landed lords.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 11}} It also further empowered the Intoners, making them grown faster than if they had done so naturally.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 11}} However, it also resulted in the existence of the disciples who served to dampen the Intoners' growing powers.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 3, Chapter 12}}
