The Vaseterm Vanguard were on their way, but they were Train for war...some even live when Soledormir was still free, but this was something they never wanted, they lost the home world already, they didn't want to lose this one to...
Some vehicles for quiet as there draw closer as others, a song broke the silence, a sobering Melody of a Vaseterm song in their home league
The vehicle split off into groups, each heading to different locations, they to went to the barricades of the magic guards to get through, ones inside they followed single file though the District, until they found a spot to make their basic of operations, from their they Park their vehicles in a circle and began to unload.
The cars and Humvees got out, Vaseterm in there human wearing armor,The trucks ( should specify the big-time basically cattle trucks or semis ) open up with the Vaseterm in their true forms, in their battle armor, it was just like the days of old, two together, a rider and a mount.
Ai waited until the Vaseterm in her vehicle had gotten out, she then finally popped her head up and peeked out the tinted windows.
She also didn't seem to notice she was now in her true form, her little ears flicking as they bumped the raincoat she still had on. It was the one thing she'd worn that wasn't magic, so she was now a little foal with a bright white raincoat on.
Ai watched in awe as the older Vaseterm organized themselves, now she'd wished she'd brought one of her dolls, so her doll could ride on her back to battle.
Speaking of battle, Ai knew she was in the heat of it, and sitting in a vehicle wasn't how you fought a war. Clambering over the seats, she wiggled her way into the front, right into the driver seat and sat there.
She sniffed the steering wheel and then looked down at the pedals, how did adults work these? She reared up, to peer over the wheel and shrieked when she placed her hooves on the horn and it blared loudly. Ai grabbed the door handle in her mouth and flung herself out the door, hooves scrambling on the concrete as she took off running.
After finishing off their enemies, Eira quickly ushered the civilians out of the ice barricade she had made and led them down the street, constantly on the lookout for danger and for backup. //Come on, we gotta find others here somewhere...// Upon passing by a building, window shattered open, she caught a glimpse of a few dark figures inside. She froze, then recognized the forms of two female Vaseterms gathered around a male laying on the ground. It was a somewhat hidden area, which would be safer for her group until they needed to keep moving..hing off their enemies, Eira quickly ushered the civilians out of the ice barricade she had made and led them down the street, constantly on the lookout for danger and for backup. //Come on, we gotta find others here somewhere...// Upon passing by a building, window shattered open, she caught a glimpse of a few dark figures inside. She froze, then recognized the forms of two female Vaseterms gathered around a male laying on the ground. It was a somewhat hidden area, which would be safer for her group until they needed to keep moving.. The griffin shiftress hurried over to the Vaseterms. "Thank the moons there are others here. We need a lot of backup," she panted as she approached and got to her knees. "Here, I can help. Please keep an eye out while I do," she asked the mares. Eira didn't really recognize Theo and Aaliyah, since she had only seen their human forms before, but their voices did seem familiar. She didn't know the other mare. Using her human hands, the shiftress worked to prepare a cloth and pour the liquid on it, then carefully placed it over Theo's wounds. "This will probably burn," she murmured apologetically.
The people followed Eira, some of them were more surprised than others to see Talking Horses after everything else that happened.
The female Vaseterm was relieved to have you more help " thank the moons " she didn't recognize Eira as who she really was, though her appearance hadn't changed a whole lot, she just never had a good look at princess
The mare let Eira get to it, she headed towards the window to keep watch, her ears were up and alert, trying to pick out the sound in the chaos
"Lady Eira!" Aaliyah breathed out in relief, "Thank the moons you're here, this building should be relatively safe for the people, at least in terms of no monsters inside it yet"
She gestured to the nearest person, "Head downstairs with everyone and board it up" It took the man a moment to get over a talking horse, but then he started to lead people down, the sounds of chaos outside a quick reminder to hurry up.
Theo let out a whinny as Eira placed the medicine soaked cloth on his wounds, he had to lock his legs to stop himself from thrashing, "Oh MOONS ABOVE! THat huuuurts!" he was grinding his teeth.
Aaliyah watched worriedly, Theo was her life long partner afterall. "Lady Eira" She glanced at the griffin, "How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
//... Alright, so I'm coming from this direction...// is one of Terra's many mental notes as he flies over the city towards the disaster zone, //There's barricades over there...//
Flying as a ghost in his Venatavis form is certainly a unique experience and isn't like a normal flight, on one hand, he doesn't have a body, so flying feels easier without having any resistance from the wind, but on the other hand, he's using up some of his magic to fly at the speed that he is, giving it a different kind of tiring affect...
Terra's thoughts aren't on that, however, as he slows himself down as he comes over the main area of the damage, and looks down to see if there's anything he can do. "Sparky! Do you see anything?!" he shouts to his Fairfin.
"Over there! Look, they're all on that car!" Sparky shouts in return, already zipping down there to get a closer look, and Terra follows right behind him.
Terra lands a little ways away from the vehicle and quickly sets down his bag, realizing just as suddenly how dire the situation is. He's arrived maybe seconds before it's too late, indeed, even as he's just now set his bag down and picked up the gun, one of the monsters finally manages to take one of the car doors off completely and drags a human out... //Sparky--!!// he shouts through telepathy as he loads the gun as fast as he's able to with his Venatavis claws--but his Fairfin already knows what he needs.
"HEY!!" Sparky yells as he flies over, practically jumping on the monster's head as he flies past and around it, trying to distract it, then tries to glow as bright as he can and yell as loud as he can to get the others' attention. "TERRA HAS A GUN!! YOU KNOW?! HE'S GONNA SHOOT YOU BAD EVIL SHADOW GUYS! OHHH NO, YOU BETTER LOOK OUT! THIS SANTA CLAUS HAS A GUN AND A GOODIE BAG OF PAAAAIIIN!!"
Terra steadies himself and takes aim, then fires a shot at the monster who pulled the human out...
The girl eyed the bikes for a moment, fidgeting with the strap of her bag a bit. When she heard Boreas speak, Crystal looked over and listened to what he said to her, giving a little nod afterwards. If they were going to help save the city she needed to push aside her fear for the time being, otherwise, she was only holding them back just like she worried she would. And that was the last thing she wanted. ‘He’s right,’ she thought, ‘Jason seems like he knows the in’s and out’s of this kind of thing.. I'll be fine..’
And with that, Crystal let Jason help her on the bike, taking the helmet he gave her and putting it on after she saw him put on his. Having to sit this close to someone made her feel awkward, she tended to like her personal space, but she pushed that aside too and once they were gearing up to actually leave, she held on the best she could (aka: for dear life).
Boreas switfly caught the earbud out of the air and--after a brief inspection--popped it into his ear. "Thanks for the info!" He said to Jason, starting up his motorcycle as well. //Let's see how this goes...// The icy Elemental kept an eye on Jason and Crystal, readying himself for whatever was ahead.
( Crystal is sweet bean, I like how she human and yet out of everyone is the most foreign to this, it really put an interesting perspective on this )
Ones everyone was ready, Jason got on the road, he followed the other trail of other vehicles leaving the palace barrier but Ones out he split off " Hay, Admiral we're going to take a shortcut " he and weave through the traffic, soon they were on side Street " im going to go a bit faster now " he said to both give Crystal and Boreas a heads up, he accelerated his bike going faster.
Speeding through the back ways of the city Jason turns on his radio to listen to the police chatter "hmmm " he knew it wasn't good but the report were really bad " Yo, Ethan, you go eyes?"
-
Ethan was back at the Palace behind a computers screens tapping away with his headset on " t-hings are messy right now, but im on it " the wolf boy gave coordinates " they a group of the magic watch in that area, be on the lookout for them " - " thanks, at least we got some good news, keep me updated and any info on how the key hunters are doing" Jason replied.
" not much word on them... hang on, there was a 911 call a few minutes ago.....a woman who uses ice? That could be Eira "
" yeah, I say that be her, you got a location on her?"
" give me a second... last location is the downtown shopping center "
" got it "
As they approach the tomahawk district, smoke and could be seen and Sirens heard, Jason slow down just a little as traffic got thicker from people evacuating, the police had roadblocks to keep people from going inside. " Just say close, this is a group of magic guards, their a mixture of shapeshifter and human who know about us"
Jason maneuvered his bike around the cars and as he approached one of the blockades he held up a badge that had two silver Spears with a phoenix in the middle
"Hay, it the Silver Spears " one of the officers pointed out, they quickly open the barricade " its hell in there " one of them warned as they drove past.
Jason just nodded and gave a small salute.
It wasn't to long inside that the gravity of chaos really was showing, it looked like a war zone, police only had a small areas contained
Alexandrea noticed them coming, she knew they would and she knew she couldn't get out of their way, she twisted with the people and threw them both, one after the other, through an apartment window.
She grimaced as they crashed through, //Better than being dead, little bruises and cuts will heal, death doesn't heal// she squawked as she was rammed by the 2 beasts dive bombing her.
The dark phoenix slammed back down on the pavement, this time in a position where she didn't have the advantage. She felt cold jaws clamp down on the back of her neck and start to twist, trying to break the dark pheonixes neck.
Alex did her best to resist, but she knew she needed help and fear coursed through her at the thought of being killed, she let out a shrill and desperate call, loud and sharp enough to pierce even the chaos around everyone for at least a hundred feet in all directions.
he guards were already uneasy with the commotion going about and now having the Nightmare here asking to let out there most dangerous prisoner was not settling well " are you nuts?! You know this thing is dangerous and I'm not going to just hand him over to a Nightmare, the world already on fire, we don't need to poor lighter fuel on it" one guard snapped, the others did a small bow seen that the queen great grandson was present, she cleared her throat " as my coworker was meaning to say, Crimson is to dangerous to be let loss, we don't fully understand the corruption that afflicts him "
Dreamcatcher had slowed down and stood along side Eater, the tension in the air from everyone emotions was distracting him but he was trying to focus on what was happening right here " thank you, but we are fully aware that Crimson is corrupted and a threat but so is most of the group... what he did wasn't of his own choice, that much we all know and right now under these circumstances if he willing to fight, can you let him? If anything maybe he can use this opportunity to provide that he really isn't a bad kid, I know you don't trust Eater but can you trust me? "
The guards looked at one other and thought there demeanor seem to shift it to more relaxed, the one answered " I'm sorry you're highness but we have are orders "
" let them pass " Victoria stood behind Catch and Eater, she was tall and Stern, with a cold look on her face.
The guards both bow and back way " yes your Majesty" they replied Dreamcatcher had never seen such a cold look on the queen face, it sent a chill down his spine " thank you, your Majesty..." he said cautiously but with worry, something didn't seem right with her, there was something he seen in her eyes, but now wasn't the time to ask questions or he didn't think it was the best time for that
Fiona grunted as she felt the first monster's claws make contact with her arm. And soon after, the second one started slashing at her too, which brought her back to the ground. //Ugh...!! I NEED TO HURRY UP AND MAKE SURE ALEX IS OKAY!!// She couldn't swing Shockwave at the monsters with one of them latched onto her arm--so she decided to let go of the sword. Instead, the Elemental shoved herself underneath the shadowy pterodactyl on her arm, tried to grab its beak with her other hand so it couldn’t snap at her, and hoisted it up above her. Then, in a wrestler-esque fashion, she attempted to twist around and swing the monster at the other one attacking her.
The door Purity open would lead to a room that did not fit expectations on the light house especially from what it looked from the outside, the room look more like a Avery or green house, the walls were of silver and wood strands that intertwined with one another to form an intricate cage with stained glass between each panel, the room had a variety of plants, some were green and were similar to plants she would see before but many Purity would have never seen, silver leaves, flowers that look to be of gold, plants that look more like Coral or stones.
The very pathway was made of gold and intricate wood pieces and along it was wooden branches.
The path lead to fountain in the center of the room there there were four dragons... one was mostly black with gems of the rainbow across her and around her was a white Halo... there was a dragon with two heads, one side was white and he had a gemstones on his forehead as his other side was black and he had a gemstone on his chest... the 3rd dragon was mostly black but had an edge of white to him, his gems were shaped like stars and he was holding the paw of the last dragon, she was pure white and her wings were of water poring out into pond.
Bubbles peek out to see the room, his blue eyes went to the place were the water was at but then over towards a window that look out
Blue understood what Qui was getting at, he rolled his wrist and grabbed her hand, pulling her down on top of him. "I'm sorry I worried you, I got caught up in the moment and just wanted to help her"
He sighs, "I won't do it again, especially since I'm positive Soledormir will kill me the next time" he rubs Qui's arm, then hugging her firmly. "I'll keep in mind my priorities, I'll try not to worry you again"
Blue tilted his head to look down at her, "Though I do feel the same about Ai.. As much as I would like to believe she'd stay, we know her too well"
"Just promise me, you'll keep me update and won't do anything too risky?" Blue knew that if Qui chased Ai to the fight, if Ai had gone there. No force on heaven or Senza, would stop him from going too.
Rahab huffed in response to the male Vaseterm and shook his feathers out. "Whether we use the palace or not, getting them away from this district is our first priority. If the rest of town isn't safe, we'll move towards the palace." He flashed his dark wings and began to fly, not going towards thw ground yet. "Let's group up with more air fighters and defend the skies - I have a feeling things are going to get worse up here," he muttered, casting a wary glance to thw dark clouds where the roars had sounded.
While Purity is a little surprised by this room, and rather slowly makes her way across it and around the fountain, she only briefly glances and takes note of things here as she makes her way over to the window, once it catches her eye. "See anything out there, Bubbles...?" Purity whispers as she nervously peers out the window...
//Don't snap at them... Come on... Stay focused...// the Nightmare tries to tell himself and keep himself from curling his lip up at the first guard. //You can keep yourself under control... You need to stay under control, it's going to be even worse than this in the city...//
He slightly turns his head at first when he hears Victoria behind him, then actually turns around, and much like Catch, he feels a cold chill run down his spine too when he sees her face. "... Thank you, Queen Victoria..." Eater quietly echoes Catch, reaching up with one hand to tip his hat to her, then slowly turning and looking at Catch to say, "... Hey, let's get going." Then, he just as slowly goes over and opens the doors ahead of them.
The male Vaseterm nodded " agree! " he beaded his wings to keep up with the dark Griffin " if word has gotten back to the Palace of this attack, I have no doubts that the Queen will send the Vanguard and the Pegasus Knights we just have to buy time!" That what he had been trying to do but he was one one flashy pony in the sky, however there were other other creatures that were not corrupted fighting in the battle against Voids minions.
The sky's were littered with monsters of all shapes and sizes.
There look to be a group of harpies off in direction closer to the lower buildings trying to fight off the monsters
A loud Roar called out followed by an explosion of Fire in the area with the tallest buildings, a large red and black stripped Dragon emerged with a Crest full of spines, she beat her wings chasing after monsters and being Chase at the same time.
There was a wing wolf like creature doing his best in a fight against 5 others monsters
There was two Griffins in a battle against 12, one of the Griffins wasn't faring to well as she still look young compared to the older who was trying to defend her
When they first took off Crystal immediately tightened her hold on Jason and tucked her head down to the side. Not really having known how to prepare for what it would feel like once the motorcycle started moving made it a terribly surprising experience once it happened. The girl waited until the initial spike of fright settled down before lifting her head again, and once she did, not much got better. The air whipping past them and all the noise wasn’t easy to adjust to, and everything zipping by in her side vision made her a bit dizzy, but she tried to observe the surroundings anyway, though staying rather still as to not disrupt Jason.
Crystal watched ahead as they drove, slowly but surely starting to see the effects of the attack up ahead. When they slowed a bit, she looked around at all the vehicles and blockages. The girl glanced at the officers that let them into the area they came up to, but soon her attention was pulled to the devastation to the area instead.
Ai would find herself in atmosphere of a Battlefield, the ground was wet from rain and mixed with the remnants of the destruction that was taken place, the smells of oil, blood and smoke and many other foul odors hung in the air.
The streets were littered with trash, debris and Abandoned cars
Ai would hear a motion of sounds by two cars, it would sound like the tearing of Flesh if she got close enough...
Ai looked back once she was far enough away, no one had followed her, or at least, she didn't spot any flashy Vaseterm behind her. Her ears twitched, she had thought for sure, the blare of the horn would have got her caught.
Slowing to a trot, the little filly's ears strained forward as she picked up the sounds of tearing. She slowed even more, trying to make each step as light as possible, which wasn't really nessecary with all the chaotic sounds around her.
Ai scowled though as she approached, realizing she couldn't shift to her human form... Just now she was realizing that. She moved to peer around the cars now, to see what the sounds were and what was making them.
Boreas started off a bit slower, letting himself get adjusted to the balance and steering of the bike. Sure, he'd driven something /like/ this in the past, but it wasn't entirely the same... Eventually he sped up and followed Jason.
The Captain didn't say anything, but he did keep his eyes and ears open. He eyed their surroundings--especially as they took their shortcut--and listened closely to the conversation over the radio. //Hmmm... Magic watch... And Eira could be out here already as well...// He noted mentally.
As they gained a visual on the destruction ahead, Boreas knew there was something he needed to do. When they slowed down a little to swerve back and forth around cars, then stopped completely for Jason to show them his badge... Well, Boreas pulled one of the cookies he had in his pocket and ate it. //...Yes, this is my ID--for 'indiscriminate dessert.' ...Better than eating it while driving...//
He gave a respectful nod to the guards as well when they drove by. Then he readied himself for whatever they might face in the warzone.
"Oof! Blue be careful! " Qui fussed at Blue for pulling her on him in his condition, she did do her best not to hurt him more
She took a deep breath, seeing Soledormir and everything that took place was still a lot to think about but the most frightening thing was that the devil knew they were watching... that he had powers to break reality in a vision, the thought of that gave Qui Goosebumps, she had no doubt that Soledormir would kill her love if he were to see a vision of him again " ...thank you... " she whispered in reply to Blue promises
She couldn't let herself rest in Blue arms knowing that to " I know, it why I'm worried about her... she has a wandering spirit always looking for anyway to be like Judas, but what she taking inspiration from him, I wish she wouldn't... I know Judas is good at heart but he still not the best role model... "
Dreamcatcher followed Eater lead and when into the room, he was kinda glad when he could no longer feel the queen glare on them.
There was an elevator that he went in, he looked at the buttons, there were less ones on this one " not to many options" he thinks outloud, still he was going let Eater do the controls, he Assumed Dreameater had visited the red prince before and should know what floor he was on.
Dreamcatcher just stood, looking down as his mind wonders back to the queen " are you sure about this? Lady Victoria let us though but... you seen it to, there was something not right with her " he only said ones the door had closed
Anna was quite to until then " I seen you give that look to Cat..."
" huh?"Catch looked up but not to much because she was on top of his head
Blue did his best not to snicker at Qui, it was only his head that was killing him, the rest of his body felt fine to him.
"Can we blame her, for wanting to be like Judas? I've seen the jealousy and pain burn in her eyes. She's so young, yet she's Judas twin, both made at the same time, and he's full grown. While she's just a small girl. In her mind, she's useless, she should be powerful like her brother" Blue was staring at the ceiling, his mind going through it all... Also he was just trying not to move his head around much, it still hurt, even after the treatment he'd gotten.
"I couldn't imagine trying to live as yourself, but everyone sees you as someone else. How many people look at her and see just a female Omen?" Blue sighed deeply, "Judas is a terrible rolemodel too, like you said, he's got a good heart, but he's a huge mess of a Vaseterm" he tapped Qui's arm with his fingers, "I think we need Ai to start seeing herself as a little girl, not a weapon, and we need to get others to see her that way too... First, we need to get her off the battle field and get her home... alive"
He pushed Qui up as he sat up. His eyes squeezed shut and teeth clenched as his head felt like it was gonna split. "Now where is Suzano? I need something for my head before we go out"
Fiona grunted as she felt the first monster's claws make contact with her arm. And soon after, the second one started slashing at her too, which brought her back to the ground. //Ugh...!! I NEED TO HURRY UP AND MAKE SURE ALEX IS OKAY!!// She couldn't swing Shockwave at the monsters with one of them latched onto her arm--so she decided to let go of the sword. Instead, the Elemental shoved herself underneath the shadowy pterodactyl on her arm, tried to grab its beak with her other hand so it couldn’t snap at her, and hoisted it up above her. Then, in a wrestler-esque fashion, she attempted to twist around and swing the monster at the other one attacking her.
Having its newest shield removed, the monster that wasn’t on Fiona’s arm suddenly jumped back to reevaluate the situation. Fiona’s first swing missed because of this, but she quickly went for a second one, slamming her weaponized monster hard into the other. However, this reckless move also sent the beast’s claws tearing across her arm.
Alexandrea noticed them coming, she knew they would and she knew she couldn't get out of their way, she twisted with the people and threw them both, one after the other, through an apartment window.
She grimaced as they crashed through, //Better than being dead, little bruises and cuts will heal, death doesn't heal// she squawked as she was rammed by the 2 beasts dive bombing her.
The dark phoenix slammed back down on the pavement, this time in a position where she didn't have the advantage. She felt cold jaws clamp down on the back of her neck and start to twist, trying to break the dark pheonixes neck.
Alex did her best to resist, but she knew she needed help and fear coursed through her at the thought of being killed, she let out a shrill and desperate call, loud and sharp enough to pierce even the chaos around everyone for at least a hundred feet in all directions.
The scenery from the window would appear much difference then when Purity was on the ground...
The sand around the lighthouse was a golden color not black as before.
The trees in the distance where not all dead and withered like before, some looked lively, full of colors, even patches of sky broke though the clouds and it was only then that it could be seen in the sky red veins stretching out like fingers pulses of red lightning flickered though the veins...
Bubbles carefully picked his head up to look out the window to, the world seem so different up here to him " warmsss?" Asked looking up at the Dreamer, he comes to explain nice or comfortable things as warm, because it made him feel warm
The sound of Crimson screaming came again but now in this room it sounded distorted, like it was Crimson but wasn't him at the same time, the sound of the monsters shrieking followed but now there was something different about it, an off tone, one that sounded like what made Crimson distorted
Bubbles duck down again, he didn't like those sounds
A majority of the pack of little shadow monsters were distracted by Sparky's loud, shiny appearance. Their gaze snapped to the newcomer of light, and a few of them clawed at him. His distraction was just in time; along with the one door they'd already pulled off, they'd managed to beat open holes in other parts of the car, and the right back door was about to be broken off its hinges as well.
Terra's bullet nailed the monster dragging one of the humans out, and the pack took notice of it. All of them looked to the ghostly Venatavis. After the briefest moment, they became a flurry of shadows, five of them leaving their positions at the front of the car to rush at Terra, while a remaining six stayed at back of the car--though they were trying to get into it, rather than trying to pull the humans out. One was already attempting to worm in through that broken back door.
In actuality, Eater doesn't know exactly which floor Crimson's on, as he hasn't had the chance to visit him, but he makes a guess based on where he can sense him, and pushes the button once he's in there. While he's got something in mind to say as a reply to Catch, Anna's comment makes him stay quiet and think on it some, too. //Anna saw Catch like that? With a cold, stern glare?// he ponders, then looks back on his own memories as he walks of to the wall of the elevator and leans his back against it, //I can't imagine him with a face like that normally, but then none of us are really normal anymore, and he does have Nightmare Syndrome...//
"... Didn't you kind of give me a glare like that once, too?" he finally asks after staring in thought at his friend's face for a moment, "Back in the ice temple place with those white Venatavis? You and I were together and trying to get through a room of ice spikes, we were using fire magic to melt them..." he pauses, briefly wondering about the fact that Catch even had fire magic then, but continues, "I was taunting you about your failures, and I mentioned how I found Weaver's mom in Howaito..."
The Nightmare gets quiet again after he says that and crosses his arms, holding his chicken with one hand. His expression keeps twitching and slightly changing, from a smug smirk to an irritated grimace, then he turns his head away, unable to stand looking Catch in the eye anymore--only to turn his eyes back to him shortly after. //Why do I freaking feel angry!? Catch is a miserable failure of a brother, he has been for a long time! I could mock him all day! Freaking, stupid Weaver--I hate being possessed! I should cut into him more just to spite you too! Aaaaaugh! No-- You make me want to bash my head against something! You make me want to KILL someone! Just shut up!//
(Also just fyi if I disappear for a long time and possibly never return, we have some crazy weather going on over here, so I have no idea if I'll lose power or not 'XD )
Having its newest shield removed, the monster that wasn’t on Fiona’s arm suddenly jumped back to reevaluate the situation. Fiona’s first swing missed because of this, but she quickly went for a second one, slamming her weaponized monster hard into the other. However, this reckless move also sent the beast’s claws tearing across her arm as she let go of it and sent it tumbling with the other.
Inhaling sharply through clenched teeth at her new wound, Fiona eyed the pile of monsters for only a second before reaching for her great sword with her uninjured arm. Then, the Elemental heard Alex's cry for help. //MOVE IT, NOW!!!// Not wasting another second, she grabbed up Shockwave and bolted for the edge of the building where Alex had fallen off. She wasn't sure if she'd truly finished off the two monsters she was fighting with... //AGH, BUT--NO, I GOTTA GO!!//
Fiona took a flying leap off the rooftop, "I'M COMING, ALEX!!!" She let herself plummet, quickly taking in the situation below and readying Shockwave to swing at the monster trying to twist Alex's neck.
//Oh... it's... not actually completely dark out there...// Purity notes as she looks out the window, and while she does feel a little encouraged by this, the red veins in the sky do have her a little worried too...
But she grimaces as the screams ring out again, and she squints her eyes as she tries to find its source. "It's gotta be close for us to be able to hear it from here, but wouldn't the lighthouse blast it again if it got too close...?" She thinks out loud. Then she glances down and gently pets Bubbles' head with the end of one ribbon. "I know, I know, it sounds horrible, doesn't it...? I wish it'd stop, too..."
After that, she looks back out the window again, and thinks. The screams tug on her heartstrings and make her want to help Crimson... but is that really even him? The more distorted the screams get, the more she figures it's probably just the monster trying to lure her out... Still, she can't help but feel a little guilty. Crimson /is/ out there somewhere, isn't he? If she's somehow in his head? So what if he is in danger...? Is it selfish of her to stay in here, and not even try to look for him, or is it the smart thing to do? When it comes down to it, she simply doesn't know what she's up against here...
For now, she decides to stay here, and keep camping out in the lighthouse where it's safe.
Turning away from the window, Purity then walks over to the dragon statues and the pond, trying to distract herself. "Let's try not to focus on the monster though... Would you want to play in the water, Bubbles? Do you know how to swim?" she asks her little friend, a little concerned about her question since he doesn't even know how to move around properly yet...
Alexandrea heard Fiona and the dark phoenix gathered her feet under her and pushed up with all her might, bringing the creature on her neck up and into the Elemental's swing.
Eira gave the other female Vaseterm an acknowledging nod and a small thank you when she went to keep watch out the window. The griffin shiftress flinched and looked Theo over when he yelled and froze up from the medicine she was applying to his wounds. "Sorry," she murmured, knowing she couldn't do anything different, but feeling bad for him regardless.
She looked up to Aaliyah and shook her head. "A few of the people I helped have been minorly burned or hurt though. Making sure this place is secure is first priority though. Do you have any way of contacting others?"
Jason maneuvered his bike through the messy streets, it truly look like something from a movie
He was heading towards the Direction Ethan told him Eira was at but that wasn't going to happen...
The sound of gunshots distracted him " hey, Admiral, Freckles were taken a detour, if I know one thing, when you hear gun shots that means troubled! " he made a left turn off an intersection and just up the road he could see where all the Ruckus was coming from.
In the intersection of the head was a bunch of cars scattered about, many look to have been crushed or in an accident and it was easy to pick out why... a huge monster that stood over 12 feet tall and had a resemblance to an ogre was smashing the vehicles, but it wasn't the car it was going after, but people. A small group of people were putting up the resistance, they had the cars set up as a barricade around a building and were firing their guns at the monster, which didn't seem to be doing much to it
Jason whistled and then said " that a biggin, that alright, we got the dream team here now! even though the Dreamers aren't here "
The Orange hair boy knew they needed a plan, one that had to come at the fly " ok! I got a plan! Kinda! Freckles I'm going to drop you off were me and the Admiral distract Big Smoke Stack over there, can you get to the people and see if any of them need any help"
The monsters stop what it was doing when it heard the sounds of the motorcycles getting closer...
" alrig-- Look out! " Jason interrupted himself as a car was flying right towards them, he quickly shifted his weight and leaned his bike to Dodge the car, however his best moments were to fast and he over corrected sending his bike off course " bad day! Bad day! Bad day!"
He did his best to slow down his vehicle but it look like they were going to crash....
Dreamcatcher turned his head from Anna to Eater, still holding his confused look but as the Nightmare went on he remembered the taunting, the anger and frustration that was burning inside, how he felt he was about to snap // would that be the Eclipse Blue told me about? That strange rage that takes over? I know I felt it went Eira in danger or... when I'm jealous...// he rubbed the back of his head with that last thought, looking down feeling ashamed for not trusting or getting worked up, he knew this wasn't like him, he was always able to keep his cool but after his silver blood waken this new oppression came over.
The Dreamer prince since the conflict of emotions or lack of them from his friend, he looked over grimaced, he thought for a moment of keeping his words to himself but things needed to be said " this isn't helping ether one of us... I remember and I think that look, that feeling of rage is what Blue warned me about my silver blood, some overwhelming instinct but he said it's more meant to protect others... " Catch grew quite with that last statement and shook his head slowly, feeling more like a fool then anything else, he walked over to the elevator wall and leaned up against it as well
The Dreamer prince sighed " maybe we should focus on Victoria? Why would she be in the Eclipse? "
Bubbles look up at Purity as she rambled and pets him, he glace at the window, the screams were frightening.
He was happy when Purity moved away from the window, relaxing more when she brings him over to the water, Bubbles making a odd giggle sound "wetsss!" He Wiggles in her ribbons getting excited
What Ai was hearing was a monster shredding the body of a person who it killed, the monster was a human size creature but thankfully it hadn't noticed her yet
Up on the roof tops, was a smaller monster that was prowling, it was looking down below for any left alive that it could alarm the others to
~~{Song for Terra: Gammoth's Theme - Monster Hunter Generations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ8LdlRBf2A}~~
//Of course they're splitting up, that's the only smart thing to do...// Terradream notices, quickly trying to reload his gun as he watches the five charge at him. //It's more important that I deal with the ones still attacking the car, but these ones coming for me will be distracting... If I could use my earth magic, I would be able to handle this much easier--at least this bowtie allows me to interact with objects easier, but that might mean I have to resort to more brute force measures...// he grimaces at that thought.
Just before the five gremlin-like monsters reach him, Terra takes off again, taking a short but quick flight over the monsters and landing closer to the car now, near where the broken car door lies on the ground, and again he quickly tries to take aim, this time at one of the monsters trying to get into the car. Trying to be mindful of the people in the car as well, but also knowing he doesn't have much time, he fires the gun, his mind already spinning as he tries to plan his next action. //The monsters at the back of the group will be some of the first to turn and come back for me, I'm not as far away as I was at the start, and I won't be able to keep going back and forth above them--that'll waste too much time anyway--and there's no telling if some of the ones getting into the car will come after me either, I'll have to use this car door, which of my forms is the most versatile for this situation--//
Sparky, after his first short distraction, then flies over to two of the monsters trying to get into the car. He goes over to one and starts tugging on its ear as hard as he can, but he also tries to twist himself around in such a way that he can see at least what the other is doing. "Hey there, can you lend me your ear?!?" Sparky CHEERFULLY SHOUTS into the monster's ear, his plan being to get either one of the monsters to take a swing at him, and end up hitting each other...
The female Vaseterm was keeping a look out, her ears swiveled as she try to pick out any approaching sounds but it was difficult with all the noise car alarms, screams and monsters sounds
The small group of people with Eira we're congregated together, they looked sacred and worn out.
Purity takes a breath to calm herself down some as well, and manages to smile faintly again as Bubbles giggles. She lowers her ribbons down to the water, keeping them under Bubbles for the moment as she gently sets him down, then she lies down right by the pond, tucking her legs under herself.
Ai stood rooted to the spot, seeing the monster shred the body, she didn't know how to begin to process that. Sure, she'd seen death before and seen others killed in front of her, but nothing like this.
And it was a monster too, she lowered her head, biting back a whimper. That person was already dead, she couldn't help a dead person, so she quietly and cautiously began to leave. Her head and tail low, her hoof falls as light as she could make them.
After a moment longer, Eater clears his throat and mumbles, "So it's a Vaseterm thing?"
~~{Song for Dreameater: Ooh, Wilfre! - Drawn to Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L10pFHExCWk}~~
Despite making a quiet growl that's likely not intended for Catch, he at least tries to get himself to focus. "Well, what do we know about Victoria and her husband? Oh, wait, not her husband, her /mate,/ because Vaseterm don't marry, they don't need a 'stupid ring,'" Eater snaps bitterly, forgetting the fact that Faithful called her his wife in an earlier vision Catch had a while back. Then he uncrosses his arms and rather aggressively takes another bite out of his chicken...
Thanks to Alex lifting the monster up, Fiona managed to slice through it even quicker. She angled it diagonally as to avoid hitting the Phoenix. Though, it was only then that she found she didn't have as much control over her fall as she'd first thought. Normally, she'd stop herself as she made her attack, but instead the Elemental slammed sideways into the concrete, the wind getting knocked out of her. Thankfully, she had her sword at her side after the swing, but... //Wh--What...?!//
She shakily started pushing herself up, coughing a bit. Then she looked up at Alex. "T-there's one more...!"
The last monster had been taking advantage of this opportunity to dig into Alex with its claws, but now that its one ally was gone and it was at a significant disadvantage, it beat its wings, making an attempt to flee.
Catch shrugs with Eater first reply " it seems that way"
His attention snapped with the Nightmares rising sarcasm, he stared at Eater for a good moment// I had a feeling that this has been Eater this whole time, Weaver wouldn't have said those things // he thought on how he could get Weaver put more, it was pretty obvious that Eater was aggravated and he didn't want to add to the fire, however he didn't like his friend being dragged though the mud, sure yeah, he didn't approve of people just being mates ether, marriage sacred to him and the only way for two to truly be a husband and wife.
With that thought, Catch realized something " now hang on here, Faithful Dreamer and Alexandria were married, we been told this and we seen it in a vision " he put out a hand in a calm motion or for a pause to hear him out " I know Vaseterm have life bonds but you can't count them as animals, they are capable of marriage and I know the feeling Faithful had for his wife and her for her husband, it was more then just the flesh " he then looked to the door and Frowned with what he said next " I don't know how they whole species views and values are but you don't ether, we know not everyone holds the same values as us and honestly, I petty them... but should we be so harsh if they don't know the truth? "
Purity lets him go, and watches him float around, leaving her ribbons in the water as well. (She likes water too, after all.) "You like it?" she cheerfully asks.
Qui led there to and sigh, her heart broke for her daughter, the situation that she was in was hard to even grasp " I think that be best for her, I never wanted Ai to see herself as a weapon and I hate how she try to pretend to be one like her brother....I know she made, that she has the ability to become one but it shouldn't be something she feels she needs to be, no one should be made to be a weapon "
The brown hair Woman made a face, at that, she really hope that Ai wasn't out there but her gut told her better " with what we know, she might not be able to use magic just like everyone else " she sat up, wanting to get going " I'll go get Suzano, she been with Purity every since the attack this morning " Qui got up to go
At the very least, Eater quietly listens to Catch while he makes his argument. Once the prince is done, Dreameater snaps back--albeit just a little calmer than before: "Do you think I freaking care if I'm being harsh or not? I'm not a /Dreamer,/ Catch, I /eat the misery of others,/ I'm not gonna shed a single tear if I freaking hurt someone's feelings, if the Vaseterm wanna pretend that they're not any better than animals, they can go right ahead, I can make fun of them all day long." He then huffs arrogantly and adds in with a slight, smug smirk, "And ok, so Faithful married Queen Victoria then, if not all of the Vaseterm follow the idea of life bonds being good enough--/like those two "mates" were making it sound like they all do/--then maybe I should give Faithful some credit! He was a Dreamer after all, maybe he taught Victoria and her Moons-forsaken people some actual /morals/ so they're not /all/ idiots."
The elevator comes to its stop as Eater is making the last of his rude remarks, and Eater goes to leave the moment the doors are open, not even waiting for Catch this time.
Dreamcatcher let out a deep sight when the Nightmare storms out of the elevator, he wanted to say more but knew by now there was no getting though to Eater and all the Nightmare was doing was making Weaver look bad along with him
" Eater a jerk" Rihanna blurted out
Catch reached up and petted his Fairfin " yeahhhhh, he is and Weaver stuck in there with him... I wish we could do more for Weaver but Eater seem even more on edge now that he knows Weaver alive "
" I get the feeling all the faer going around isn't helping ether " his Fairfin replied worried
" I can imagine not... if I was in my dark form it probably be bugging me more...I mean I can still feel it but it different, it's not like a Taste in my mouth but more like a wight on my shoulders, a pressure, it doesn't feel good but as a Nightmare... this I know would be tempting, Eater said it himself... I just hope Crimson is able to help and not make things worse" he takes his hand and more it to the back of his neck, it was all very stressful but as he was thinking deeply on many things, he could sense Glory emotions and even though she had been quite this whole time, he felt she to was hurting, Dreamcatcher moved his hand back up but this time to pet the poor forgotten Fairfin " well figured this out Glory, we're going to free Weaver " Anna was quite as her partner spoke and then petted her friend // Nightmares really suck// she thought frustrated to herself, she wanted to bop Eater on the nose if she knew it wouldn't hurt Weaver to.
But now wasn't the time to dwell on it, Eater already had a head start " Catch there some things I want to talk to you about but not right now, you better hurry before Eater leave you behind "
" oh right!" The Dreamer prince snapped back into it, he hurry out the door and down the only hallway after Eater, it didn't take him long to catch up and was behind the Nightmare now.
Catch still want to do something to at least let Weaver know that he knew this wasn't him but how? Words was only setting Eater off so he did the brotherly thing and placed his hand on the Nightmare shoulder, yes Eater was still warm but at least he wasn't super hot like before.
Catch just wanted Weaver to know he still was there for him, that he knew this wasn't him but Eater, and though the Nightmare was being a jerk he wasn't giving up.
However it was about that time the Dreamer prince felt something he had never before, his soft pat turned into a hold as he himself stopped with this new sensation he was experiencing
Once Alexandrea felt her neck released, she focused on the last flying monster, she beat her wings hard and tore after it. It only took a few strong beats to catch it in her talons and she proceeded to shred it mercilessly.
Afterwards, she kinda fluttered her way down to Fiona, wincing as she landed, "Oh owwy" she made a hissing sound, not one of aggression, but one of pain. "If we could get rid of this barrier thing, I could heal both of us" she waddled to the Elemental. "I'm gonna be a red phoenix at this rate"
"Be quick then, we don't have much time" Blue looked worried, even baring his teeth slightly as he turned his gaze to the nearest window. //Oh Ai, you fool//
He waited until Qui was gone and out of his sight, before he got out of bed, walking to the center of the room, he held a hand to the side of his head as he started to give orders.
"Five of you nurses are with me!" Blue managed to shout, his voice firm and commanding, "We're heading to the Tomahawk District in a few minutes, gather what you can and be ready!" he caught the eyes of a few nurses, "Now!" and they all scattered to get supplies ready to follow the Clan Leader to the fight.
The monster shredding the body body hadn't heard anything yet.
The monster pearling the Rooftops was keeping a keen eye on the ground, it spotted something moving down below, it toss its head up and started to howl alerting others in the area
Ai freaked out when she heard the howl, the filly knew in her gut, that was not a good sound. She hoofed it down the road, weaving between vehicles, all four legs were pumping hard as she just gave it.
She was gonna head deeper into the city now, sticking to running around and through non moving vehicles in the road. Then it clicked, she hadn't left the Vanguard too far behind, at least she was hoping.
The little filly began to let out neighs and high pitched calls that she was hoping any nearby Vaseterm would recognize as a Vaseterm foal. She didn't stop running, as she could hear the monsters pursuing her.
Glory nuzzles Catch's hand when he pets her, but even still she stays quiet, either not knowing what to say, or simply not being in a mood to talk. //... Weaver can't control himself anymore...// she quietly thinks, //And the Nightmare keeps making him do horrible things... but what can I do to help him...?// Tears start forming in her eyes, but she rubs her eyes and her face with one paw. //I... Weaver needs me to get better too... I can't stay like this... I need to get better so I can help him... We'll all find something to help Weaver...//
~
Dreameater, meanwhile, has gone right up to the guards blocking the next door just out the elevator. He only slows down when he feels Catch come up behind him and pat him on the shoulder, and then he stops too, also feeling something he's never experienced before... but it's not what Catch is feeling. The Nightmare narrows his eyes, then turns his head to stare at the prince. "... What the freak is wrong with you?" he asks in a snappy yet confused tone of voice, but he doesn't say anything about what he's feeling. It's almost as if he can vaguely feel the reassurance that Catch wants to share with his brother, despite the fact that he as a Nightmare can't feel that on his own...
Purity's ears perk up immediately when she hears that friendly voice again. "Oh! Sunny, you're back?" she blurts out in surprise, looking around the room again despite knowing by now that she can't see him.
"Huh... I don't know why, either," Purity replies, back to watching Bubbles slowly spin around in the pond. "That's so odd, It's like there's something that has to be done or... Something, in order for me to be able to hear you, but I don't know what it could be... Hmmm..."
" ... I guess so?... " he pause, he couldn't think on what it could be, Purity was the first to ever hear him though "... I haven't had anyone else talk back to me before but if it because something has to be done maybe that why?...."
The sound of Crimson screaming again ring out, this time it broke and changed midway into a horrible Screech
Bubbles flinched and splash in the water trying to get back over to Purity " frightened!"
"... he is not happy..." Sunny sounded a little concerned "....stay down..."
just seconds later the shrieking from before happened, a red flash from the window lights the room and then it hit... the lighthouse shook from the blast, an attack that would have destroyed anything within this dream however this place thought it didn't seem like much was a fortified Fortress, a Fortress meant to keep demons at bay
Just as Terra thought, the gremlin monsters at the back were the first to turn and start heading for him again… Though, two of the monsters broke off from the group and starting climbing up a nearby building. Another one ran towards the car, aiming to jump onto it to gain a vantage point, and the remaining two just charged towards Terra.
The ghost’s gunshot hit its target yet again—but there was still a lot to take care of. If they weren’t already, the people who were still trapped in the car were definitely panicking now as two other monsters were working quickly to get inside. The one trying to get in through the back was nearly three-fourths of the way in, and if any of them got all the way inside, they would use the car itself, along with the people as protection… If they didn’t also just try to kill the people.
On the other hand, the one Sparky was CHEERFULLY GOADING did, in fact, take a swat at him. The gremlin next to them let out a hiss as it was struck it instead. The monster sent a swing right back at the one who’d whacked it, and there was a moment of disarray where the two of them seemed to be aggressive towards each other… But soon they both figured it out, and one started clawing and snapping at Sparky, being mindful of the other as it continued breaking into the car as well.
Fiona had the faintest of grins as Alex caught up to the fleeing monster and tore it apart. Though, that quickly faded as the Elemental got to her feet, letting out a breath as she took some time to recover from her fall... Not to mention her bleeding arm. “Not with me, you won’t!” She declared in response… Despite not really having any way to stop the bleeding from either of them.
“That was rough, but w-we’ll get through this! Are you feeling okay to keep going, though?” Genuine concern was on the Elemental’s face, “Ugh… We need to get your magic back or find something to tend our wounds… But we also gotta get these people out of here—and the ones up there, too!” She went a mile a minute, referring to the two people on the ground with them that Alex had saved, and the rest of them who were still on the top floor of the building. “There were a couple of those things left up there and I don’t know if I took them out!” She hopped a couple of times, eventually getting back into the air with some exertion.
"I think if anything, we get them to at least the outskirts of the chaos arena, then maybe I can use magic to heal us and they'll all be safe from monsters" Alexandrea groaned at the thought of having to fly up again. But she did it, beating her wings hard and shoot up and onto the roof.
Purity grimaces as the screams come back, this time changing to even worse shrieks, and she holds her ribbons out in the water to pick up Bubbles again. "Ok..." she whispers back when Sunny tells her to stay down, and she flinches when the monster screeches again, but she yelps and accidentally jumps into the pond with Bubbles when the lighthouse shakes from the blast.
... She doesn't try to get up out of the pond afterwards, and carefully holds Bubbles close to her with her ribbons. Purity kind of hides in the pond, with just her ears, eyes, and her nose above the water, watching and waiting to see what'll happen next, and if her and her snake are safe...
Qui had rushed to the elevator and was making her way down ( this is a different elevator then what Catch and Eater are in )
She hug herself // Ai please be safe // The level Purity was on wasn't to far below, she got out and made hast to the room the Dreamer was in, the guards let her though. In the room Suzano was taken note of Purity condition, she looks up seen the princess " lady Qui? Is there something that you need?"
Qui nodded but looks to the sleeping Dreamer " how is she doing?"
Suzano look to Purity " she stable for now... it is odd though, I am seeing signs that I have not very long time, signs of dream walking... no Dreamer has been able to Dreamer walk since the Nightmare curse, so that must be true that Purity no longer carries the curse "
" what really?!" Qui eyes widened Suzano nodded " I am just not sure who dream she is in... her heart rate has rise but it seem to be normal again but this isn't what has gotten me curious, but the corruption in her wound of her abdomen has seen to slow to a stop..were running test now " the head Nurses had a feeling that Qui were there for more then a check up though " Qui, was there something else you were wanting?"
The brown hair woman stepped in more as she explained " Blue wake, we think Ai went out on and will probably head out there if she can, he needed something for his head so he can go look for her"
" you and I know, he will do more then just look for Ai when he out there, and in his condition I am against it but I know there no stoping him " Suzano sighed, she walked over to counters and setting or clipboard on top, she then opened the drawer, she pulled out a bottle and walk back over to Qui and hand it to her" This isn't a fix, it will ease the pain and swelling in his head but what he needs is rest"
" I know but with the attack, we have to do something " Qui replied worriedly
Suzano gave a sympathetic look, she had live though many wars, this one was no different " that I understand and my staff has already made preparations as Victoria order "
" right! I know you and Victoria will have it covered! Thank you Suzano!" She gives a quick bow and then headed back to were she last seen Blue
The horrible screeching went off again and like before it was followed by other blast, the room shook again
"...he is very mad, I don't think he likes you or you being in hear..." Sunny sounded thoughtful with what he said next"...you should be safe as long as you stay in here... he hasn't been able to last long before having to give up..."
Bubbles just clings to his new friend for dear life
" wait, what?" Dreamcatcher blink at the Nightmare still confused by what he was feeling but now he had to collect himself
" I don't know..."The Dreamer prince let go of Eater as he focuses " I feel something weird, like I'm being pulled towards that room " he started to closes his eyes like this was something natural " it's weird..." he grimaced as he try to explain " rage and there so much fear, but it's feel like it..." his eyes shot open "what Purity?! "
Blue had nurses gathered around him, 4, one was trying to find any extra of those cookies, so they could be more efficient in the fight.
The young royal waited for Qui to return, making sure to not move his head around so often, or talk much. He was just kinda bearing it, like a really, really bad headache. When he spotted his mate, he waved as he walked and the nurses followed behind him.
"I've got 4 here and another is gathering some of those treats the others took, so we can use magic and fight properly in the battle zone" Blue was explaining as he walked up to Qui
Purity stays quiet as Sunny says what he does and the monster attacks the lighthouse again. After a moment, she slowly lifts her head a little more out of the water. "... Yeah... I don't think he likes me either..." she mumbles, then thinks a little more, and her concern grows. "... Sunny? Am I really in Crimson's head?" she then asks, "If I am, then Crimson /is/ out there somewhere, isn't he? He's out there with that monster that wants to consume him...? Is... Is he going to be ok, Sunny? I want to help him if I can, but... Well, we both know that monster wants to kill me... and I don't know how to find Crimson, if he is out there..."
As they worked their way through the streets Crystal looked all around at the devastation in complete and utter shock, wondering just how it got like this.. and terrified for when they find whatever caused it.
The girl tensed up at the sound of gun shots, and when Jason mentioned they were such sounds, she couldn’t help but think back to the gun discussion earlier in the kitchen for a split moment. ‘So that’s what they sound like..’ she thought, coming to the conclusion that she indeed didn’t like the idea of that weapon just based on the noise it made. After Jason’s announcement she gave a small “Okay..” in response, and when they came up to the point of being able to see what was going on, Crystals eyes widened and she sucked in a gasp as she saw the huge creature ahead of them. She glanced around and took in what she could, noting the smashed cars, the people, and the ones trying to help the situation.
Crystal listened to Jason as he spoke about his plan, “I- I can try to get to them,” she replied to him. Taking a quick look back towards Boreas, the girl then flinched when Jason shouted, and everything that came next all happened so fast the only thing Crystal could manage was to just hold on and hope for the best as the boy dodged the vehicle launched their way.
Aaliyah watched as the a man guided the rest of the humans down into the basement. Her ears twitched as Eira spoke, "I don't have a way, not in this form and we're stuck in this form"
She nods to the basement door, "Our best option right now, is to block that door, so nothing can go in after the humans. Once this problem is dealt with, we will send someone back to let them out"
Her gaze moved to the open window, then back to Theo, "I know where the Vanguards would typically set up, we have locations all over Senza in case of emergencies. We should head there now, we may find weapons and others to aide us"
Aaliyah trotted over to a table, "First, help me baracade the place"
"... your friend?..." Sunny went quite for a moment and really thought about it and then answered honest ".... I believe so yes... Unless your in mine but at the same time, I know that cannot be... yes I remember things but I don't feel they belong to me but to your friend...." Sunny went quite again, he didn't understand why he knew some things that he felt he shouldn't and at the same time he also knew there were things he should know, even simple things just like his own name or even Crimsons, even after Purity spoke it, it was like a void, a blank space... he understood what and who she was talking about but his name just didn't exist belong her lips... " im not sure were your friend is but I know he still alive, this lighthouse would not be standing if otherwise.....I just...."However this wasn't frustrating Sunny, it was he wanted to give Purity answers to questions he didn't know himself, he wanted to help her but what could he do? "... I wish I could help you more then just giving you bits of information.... I don't know were exactly your friend is... I have found him wondering in his dreams, looking for something but I lose him...he doesn't call back when I try to reach him... I....there so much pain here... I know the creature takes delight in torturing him..."
The lighthouse shook again from other attack from the monster, however the humming from the lighthouse started up and everything went quite except little chime of the music box was playing louder, maybe it was or maybe it could be heard better with the rest of the world falling silent.From Purity position she could see light traveling along the Silver in the room, even the pool she was in glow, Then the sound that came before the song of the attack, the light from the blast illuminated the room.
Eira nodded and got up, trying to take in all the information and assess what to do next. "How did this ever come about?" She wondered wearily as she helped moved chairs and tables to block the basement doorway. "It's not easy to imagine a happy way out of this, when so many lives have been lost already... I don't know how to stop all this yet, except stick together and fight to the end..."
"Mmm..." Purity mumbles quietly at first, listening rather sadly as Sunny tries to explain. "It's ok Sunny, bits of information are better than nothing, you're trying to help," she tries to encourage her mysterious friend, "I'm glad at least that Crimson's alive, but... I hate that the monster does that to him, I want it to stop..."
The Dreamer goes quiet with the rest of the world once the lighthouse starts readying its attack, and it's then that she really looks around and takes in how beautiful this room is. She can't help but blink when the light flashes in the room.
She's quiet for a while longer after that, mulling over everything Sunny has already told her. "... I really want to talk to Crimson when I wake up... If things have gotten better outside the lighthouse since he's been with our group, I want to actually try to get to know him more and help him... I won't forget you either, of course." Purity smiles faintly at that and glances over at Bubbles, who she's carefully holding next to her side. (She said that to Sunny, not Bubbles, but in her mind she felt that was obvious. I'm clarifying to to make absolutely sure there's no confusion here.)
//... He wasn't trying to do anything to me?// Eater ponders as he listens to Catch's explanation, dusting off his shoulder when Catch pulls his hand back, and takes that strange, foreign feeling with him. He raises an eyebrow when Catch makes his last exclamation. "You can sense it too now, huh? Yeah, Purity's consciousness is in Crimson's head somehow, which is all the more reason to wake Crim up. He warned me that Nightmares that have tried to get into his head have all /died,/ so I don't want Purity being in there any longer than she already has been," Eater explains in return before heading off past the guards, that reluctantly let him pass, seeing as they were informed the two were coming already.
The monsters in the area was alerted to the new threat, they abandoned the bodies and others thinking they were messing with to go after live prey...
Soon Ai had at least dozen monsters after her and more were sure on their way with all the noise, some were hoping across the roof of the Vehicles as others with their way around them, she had a few running of the Rooftops of the buildings now, they were quickly gain on the little filly....
One of the monsters from the Rooftops lep off and was surely going to land on Ai...but it's plan would be foiled as a much bigger creature tackled it out of the air... a black and flashy chimera had hold the the monster with her tiger head, she landed on a car and with her dragon head grabbed ahold of the other part of the monsters and rip it in two.
Nora wasn't the only one on the Battlefield, two of her siblings were with her, a long with 4 pure bloods.
The other two chimeras were up on the Rooftops going after the monsters up their, one of Nora's young brother ( only by 100 years) was making quick work of the smaller monsters, Cushing then under his massive paws and ripping them apart with his many heads much like his older sister did.
" Nora! Stop being so Reckless! " the other chimera scolded, her young sister, she was smaller but quick on her feet, unlike her older siblings she didn't bite the monsters, but instead relied on her speed and paws to cut down her opponent
The 4 Vaseterm were together as Ryder in Mount making two pairs, both sets were females. One Ryder had a Lance and shield, her partner changed at the monsters and both made a Battle Cry
The other Ryder was armed with a bow, she was quickly drawn her bow and snipping the monsters, she hopes off and on to one of the cars roof and continues to picking them off, one by one. Her partner head towards Ai " Ai?! What are you doing out here?" The Mare asked in alarmed
Ai let out a scream as all the monsters were chasing her, forget panic calls, she was full on screaming bloody murder by the time Nora saved her hide.
She didn't even realize in her haste that the ones fighting were Nora and her siblings. She had just gotten a glance of bigger monsters and was blinded by fear.
Ai didn't stop until she was hidden and sure no monsters were after her now, her eyes were white rimmed with terror. She really regretted going out now, but she didn't know she wouldn't be able to shift, summon her familiars, nothing. She had fully expected to rely on Gypsy or Armadillo shredding the monsters apart.
She peered out from her hiding spot when she heard her name spoken, her hiding spot being under an unmoving transport. Ai just stared at the Mare, too winded and terrified to speak for the moment.
Dreamcatcher stood there like a deer in headlights as Eater explains what he knew until the Nightmare started to walk away " Woah! Hang on he can do that And Purity in there?!" The Dreamer prince rushed after Eater // he can kill Nightmares, in his sleep?!// it didn't seem possible, Nightmares were the know dream hunters // just what is with this guy? How we get Purity out?//
Crimson was still tied to the bed sleeping, the machines that were hooked to him were making various some noises and flash symbols they wouldn't understand.
Catch grimaced at what he was seeing// he having a nightmare and Purity in his dreams// Crimson eyelids shifted and fluttered as he let out moans and took panicked breaths " no...stop... no.... I didn't... please stop me.....Mina...I....I-I didn't mean to..."
Inside the room stood other another guard and 2 nurse, one of the nurses stared to voice her concerns " s-ir you shouldn't take him, he not stable "
"Don't sound so bleak" Aaliyah finishes shoving the table in, wedging the basement door shut, right as the screech reaches her ears.
"Lady Eira, would you be okay, riding on my back?" The mare asks, tilting her head, "I was thinking we could make a run for it, draw the attention of the monsters away from the building, use ourselves as bait. So the humans stay hidden and safe" she stood by the griffin shapeshifter, "What do you say? Do you have a better plan? We don't have much time"
Theo had, in the meantime, rolled onto his knees and then carefully got up, he flared his nostrils and walked over to the window, "They're still a bit away" he reports as he looks out, "But we should go, and go now"
Fiona flew up with Alex, though she definitely wasn't as quick. She found herself using the fire escape to pull herself up as she neared the top.
Once she reached the roof, she immediately readied herself to fight more... But saw that she didn't need to--they had actually finished off all the monsters who were attacking them... For now. The Elemental walked over to Alex, "That sounds like a plan! Do you think you'll be able to carry the people we've rescued? I think there were three with the ones who I fought..." She muttered--because she shouldn't have actually known about the two who Alex saved because she threw them into the building, but I forgot.
Alexandrea nods quickly to Fiona's question, "Yup, I can carry quite a few people, just get them to hold on tight" she moved further onto the roof, laying down and waiting now.
"We should hurry though, I imagine it won't be too long before more show up" Alex looked around the skies, "Or at least, we should move on after this, to help others"
It took a moment before Sunny replied, his voice carried his discomfort " ....I-I think that be good for him.... your friend hasn't given up...if anything I think his resilience has gotten stronger...."
He grew quite, it was something odd to hear, that he wouldn't be forgotten when he didn't even know who or what he was, but it did come as a comfort "... thank you..."
Bubbles just looked up at Purity, his blue eyes wide and still very spook
Qui slowed when she got close to Blue, she gave him a puzzled look " treats?" // I know his head got pretty messed up, but treats to counter the spell? //she had heard something was given out to some members but she didn't know what it was, treats sounded silly to her, this was a high level spell, something more powerful they what any Vaseterm here could do, she even wondered if Judas could cast something on this level, she knew he could dispel and break other summon magic but this?
Not sure that her mate really in the condition to go out, especially with him speaking nonsense " Blue, are you sure you're up to this?" She said but hold out the bottle
One of the nurse has returned to Blue carrying the weight of her unfortunately on her face " I am sorry master Blue but it appears we only had a limited number of items available and well... im sorry to inform you that they have already been distributed...."
Purity still feels horribly sympathetic for Sunny, especially knowing that any blast the monster takes, hurts him as well, but she tries to stay positive despite the pain she hears. "You're welcome, Sunny, you don't give up either, ok? I don't know if I /will/ be able to come back to visit you or not, but I'll try to find some way to help you, too! Maybe you could try to think about and remember things if you can? Even if it's just small little things, it could be a start?"
She takes her ribbon and gently starts petting Bubbles on the head to try and help him calm down, now that she is calming down too--what with the lighthouse standing firm and blasting the monster again.
"Apparently, and I don't doubt him," Eater simply remarks back to Catch as they both go in, and he walks straight over to Crimson's bed, still with his half-eaten chicken in hand. He huffs and casts a slight side-glare at the poor nurse, then snaps at her, saying, "Well, it's a little late for that now, I'm not wasting my time with going back down the elevator empty-handed after wasting my time coming all the way here!"
The Nightmare then grabs Crimson by his upper arm and starts shaking him. "Hey! Get up, the city's under attack and I need you, wake up!"
Blue took the bottle from Qui, scowling down at her, "I'm just fine, and yes, treats, cookies, they gave them to members to eat. The magic in the treats help us keep using our magic in the zone" he gently nudged Qui with his hip as he walked passed, "I may have lost gemstones, but I'm still with it, mostly" he grinned back at her teasingly.
But it faded pretty quick at the nurses news, "That smells" he sighs, "But we'll make due with what we've got" he glanced around the room, most of the nurses he had gathered, had years of experience in combat and war.
"Alright, let's go" Blue started down the stairs, instead of taking the elevator, he turned the bottle in his hands as he walked. "What do I do with this? Just drink it?"
The Mare kneel down, so she wasn't so big and over looming over the small filly " Ai let get you home, your not safe here " she said softly trying encourage the little girl to come out, seen she couldn't Reacher with her arms as she couldn't shift like many of her comrades on the Battlefield
Ai pricked her ears up at that, "No, I gotta help" she whispered back to the mare, "I try use my familiars, but they don't come" she wasn't moving to come out yet, "I want to help" but as she spoke, if it wasn't her terrified expression, her voice gave away how afraid she was.
She might have been too scared too move, scared of the monsters, but also the chimeras too.
" ...you would want to come back to this place even though you know he will try to kill you?..." Sunny was Surprised by even the Suggestion, he knew she could, she was a Dreamer after all, this was natural for them wasn't it? But why she questioned if she could or didn't even know that?
However with what Purity says last got him concerned "...I will try...but " he didn't want to admit it but he was honest "....I can't even guarantee if I'll remember you or any of this for long....my memory are like ice flowing on the ocean, I can tell parts of me have been melting into the ocean....as other times I feel the ocean has been freezing and fusing to me... " he stopped at this and really think about it, how much of him was left? What was really him? "...I don't want to forget...." he thinks out loud, his voice carring his sorrow
Bubbles started to calm down a little, he still couldn't help but be nervous, he didn't know were the monster was other than he was the Boogeyman out there somewhere...
Though they were taking about it, little would they know that /this / dream was coming to an end. Sunny words "...I don't want to forget...." would be the last the Purity would hear before this dream shattered like glass followed by a bright light.... the sub conscience of Crimson mind was gone and Purity would find herself back in her own dream ones again...
Dreamcatcher felt bad how Eater treated the nurses, she was only doing her job and doing what she thought was best " well do are best to look after him ma'am, but we need all the help we can for this "
" no! Please! No!"Crimson bobbled and moaned sounding more panic getting shook, his eyelids fluttered partially open showing his eye rolled back, it wasn't long before he took a sharp breath waking up, a look of fear was on his face as he took deep breath, the pupil in his eye was slit for moment before he was fully aware of what was happening " w-hat The heck Eater?!" He was going to snap more at the Nightmare but why Eater was waking him up grabbed his attention " WHAT?!"
Out of reflect Crimson trying to site up but had forgotten he was kinda tied to the bed, so instead he did what Crim does best " WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE CITY UNDER ATTACK?!"
"I already said I would like to try," Purity first replies to Sunny's comments about coming back, though her smile quickly fades to a rather heartbroken, pitiful frown as he continues. She wants nothing more than to hug him... "Sunny--" she was going to call out to him, to try and give him some reassurance, but his name was all she could get out before everything shattered. "AH!" she yelps, flinching as she squeezes her eyes shut and braces herself... but then, nothing more seems to happen. She slowly squints her eyes open...
... And realizes that now she's in a pool out in a familiar yard, in the warm and bright afternoon sun, with an equally familiar house before her. "I'm... home...?" the Dreamer thinks out loud, then glances back to her side--Bubbles is still here with her in the pool, but...
//... Sunny's gone...// Purity realizes, not even questioning it. This isn't like the other times when Sunny suddenly went quiet, there's a very different feeling in the air now, as if some unseen presence that she never realized she could even feel has disappeared, and now that it's gone, she notices that it was even there in the first place. Now... She feels alone again.
Purity breathes out a sigh, and rests her head on the rim of the pool...
"RIght! We gotta move!" Fiona agreed, hurrying through the doorway she'd broken open earlier. Once she was down below, she tried to send the people up by telling them this; "Hey! We need to get you all outta here, now! ...I know you just had a really bad experience with crazy things and flying, but you're /kinda/ gonna have to fly with my friend--the giant black bird--up top..."
Though, it was only then that she realized that the people couldn’t understand her, and she couldn’t understand what they were saying either, so… She tried to tell them to go up in a different way—a weird game of charades. After a bit of pointing and rapid, uninjured arm-waving, she managed to get the idea across and usher the people to the roof. The two who Alex had thrown into the building earlier had found their way to the top as well, thanks to the other rescued civilians witnessing the event.
Fiona followed the group to the top, “Okay, so we’ve actually got five people… We just need to get them on your back!” Using a few more odd, persuasive gestures, and a live example of ‘you should probably hold on,’ the Elemental tried getting everyone onto Alex’s back.

for my own and others sake im going to reposts, it all ready crazy having to keep track xp
28 Feb, 2021, 8:04 pm
The Vaseterm Vanguard were on their way, but they were Train for war...some even live when Soledormir was still free, but this was something they never wanted, they lost the home world already, they didn't want to lose this one to...
Some vehicles for quiet as there draw closer as others, a song broke the silence, a sobering Melody of a Vaseterm song in their home league
The vehicle split off into groups, each heading to different locations, they to went to the barricades of the magic guards to get through, ones inside they followed single file though the District, until they found a spot to make their basic of operations, from their they Park their vehicles in a circle and began to unload.
The cars and Humvees got out, Vaseterm in there human wearing armor,The trucks ( should specify the big-time basically cattle trucks or semis ) open up with the Vaseterm in their true forms, in their battle armor, it was just like the days of old, two together, a rider and a mount.
28 Feb, 2021, 8:04 pm
Ai waited until the Vaseterm in her vehicle had gotten out, she then finally popped her head up and peeked out the tinted windows.
She also didn't seem to notice she was now in her true form, her little ears flicking as they bumped the raincoat she still had on. It was the one thing she'd worn that wasn't magic, so she was now a little foal with a bright white raincoat on.
Ai watched in awe as the older Vaseterm organized themselves, now she'd wished she'd brought one of her dolls, so her doll could ride on her back to battle.
Speaking of battle, Ai knew she was in the heat of it, and sitting in a vehicle wasn't how you fought a war. Clambering over the seats, she wiggled her way into the front, right into the driver seat and sat there.
She sniffed the steering wheel and then looked down at the pedals, how did adults work these? She reared up, to peer over the wheel and shrieked when she placed her hooves on the horn and it blared loudly. Ai grabbed the door handle in her mouth and flung herself out the door, hooves scrambling on the concrete as she took off running.

After finishing off their enemies, Eira quickly ushered the civilians out of the ice barricade she had made and led them down the street, constantly on the lookout for danger and for backup. //Come on, we gotta find others here somewhere...// Upon passing by a building, window shattered open, she caught a glimpse of a few dark figures inside. She froze, then recognized the forms of two female Vaseterms gathered around a male laying on the ground. It was a somewhat hidden area, which would be safer for her group until they needed to keep moving..hing off their enemies, Eira quickly ushered the civilians out of the ice barricade she had made and led them down the street, constantly on the lookout for danger and for backup. //Come on, we gotta find others here somewhere...// Upon passing by a building, window shattered open, she caught a glimpse of a few dark figures inside. She froze, then recognized the forms of two female Vaseterms gathered around a male laying on the ground. It was a somewhat hidden area, which would be safer for her group until they needed to keep moving..
The griffin shiftress hurried over to the Vaseterms. "Thank the moons there are others here. We need a lot of backup," she panted as she approached and got to her knees. "Here, I can help. Please keep an eye out while I do," she asked the mares.
Eira didn't really recognize Theo and Aaliyah, since she had only seen their human forms before, but their voices did seem familiar. She didn't know the other mare.
Using her human hands, the shiftress worked to prepare a cloth and pour the liquid on it, then carefully placed it over Theo's wounds. "This will probably burn," she murmured apologetically.
28 Feb, 2021, 8:05 pm
The people followed Eira, some of them were more surprised than others to see Talking Horses after everything else that happened.
The female Vaseterm was relieved to have you more help " thank the moons " she didn't recognize Eira as who she really was, though her appearance hadn't changed a whole lot, she just never had a good look at princess
The mare let Eira get to it, she headed towards the window to keep watch, her ears were up and alert, trying to pick out the sound in the chaos
28 Feb, 2021, 8:05 pm
"Lady Eira!" Aaliyah breathed out in relief, "Thank the moons you're here, this building should be relatively safe for the people, at least in terms of no monsters inside it yet"
She gestured to the nearest person, "Head downstairs with everyone and board it up" It took the man a moment to get over a talking horse, but then he started to lead people down, the sounds of chaos outside a quick reminder to hurry up.
Theo let out a whinny as Eira placed the medicine soaked cloth on his wounds, he had to lock his legs to stop himself from thrashing, "Oh MOONS ABOVE! THat huuuurts!" he was grinding his teeth.
Aaliyah watched worriedly, Theo was her life long partner afterall. "Lady Eira" She glanced at the griffin, "How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
28 Feb, 2021, 8:06 pm
//... Alright, so I'm coming from this direction...// is one of Terra's many mental notes as he flies over the city towards the disaster zone, //There's barricades over there...//
Flying as a ghost in his Venatavis form is certainly a unique experience and isn't like a normal flight, on one hand, he doesn't have a body, so flying feels easier without having any resistance from the wind, but on the other hand, he's using up some of his magic to fly at the speed that he is, giving it a different kind of tiring affect...
Terra's thoughts aren't on that, however, as he slows himself down as he comes over the main area of the damage, and looks down to see if there's anything he can do. "Sparky! Do you see anything?!" he shouts to his Fairfin.
"Over there! Look, they're all on that car!" Sparky shouts in return, already zipping down there to get a closer look, and Terra follows right behind him.
Terra lands a little ways away from the vehicle and quickly sets down his bag, realizing just as suddenly how dire the situation is. He's arrived maybe seconds before it's too late, indeed, even as he's just now set his bag down and picked up the gun, one of the monsters finally manages to take one of the car doors off completely and drags a human out... //Sparky--!!// he shouts through telepathy as he loads the gun as fast as he's able to with his Venatavis claws--but his Fairfin already knows what he needs.
"HEY!!" Sparky yells as he flies over, practically jumping on the monster's head as he flies past and around it, trying to distract it, then tries to glow as bright as he can and yell as loud as he can to get the others' attention. "TERRA HAS A GUN!! YOU KNOW?! HE'S GONNA SHOOT YOU BAD EVIL SHADOW GUYS! OHHH NO, YOU BETTER LOOK OUT! THIS SANTA CLAUS HAS A GUN AND A GOODIE BAG OF PAAAAIIIN!!"
Terra steadies himself and takes aim, then fires a shot at the monster who pulled the human out...
28 Feb, 2021, 8:07 pm
The girl eyed the bikes for a moment, fidgeting with the strap of her bag a bit. When she heard Boreas speak, Crystal looked over and listened to what he said to her, giving a little nod afterwards. If they were going to help save the city she needed to push aside her fear for the time being, otherwise, she was only holding them back just like she worried she would. And that was the last thing she wanted. ‘He’s right,’ she thought, ‘Jason seems like he knows the in’s and out’s of this kind of thing.. I'll be fine..’
And with that, Crystal let Jason help her on the bike, taking the helmet he gave her and putting it on after she saw him put on his. Having to sit this close to someone made her feel awkward, she tended to like her personal space, but she pushed that aside too and once they were gearing up to actually leave, she held on the best she could (aka: for dear life).
28 Feb, 2021, 8:08 pm
Boreas switfly caught the earbud out of the air and--after a brief inspection--popped it into his ear. "Thanks for the info!" He said to Jason, starting up his motorcycle as well. //Let's see how this goes...// The icy Elemental kept an eye on Jason and Crystal, readying himself for whatever was ahead.
28 Feb, 2021, 8:08 pm
( Crystal is sweet bean, I like how she human and yet out of everyone is the most foreign to this, it really put an interesting perspective on this )
Ones everyone was ready, Jason got on the road, he followed the other trail of other vehicles leaving the palace barrier but Ones out he split off " Hay, Admiral we're going to take a shortcut " he and weave through the traffic, soon they were on side Street " im going to go a bit faster now " he said to both give Crystal and Boreas a heads up, he accelerated his bike going faster.
Speeding through the back ways of the city Jason turns on his radio to listen to the police chatter "hmmm " he knew it wasn't good but the report were really bad " Yo, Ethan, you go eyes?"
-
Ethan was back at the Palace behind a computers screens tapping away with his headset on " t-hings are messy right now, but im on it " the wolf boy gave coordinates " they a group of the magic watch in that area, be on the lookout for them "
-
" thanks, at least we got some good news, keep me updated and any info on how the key hunters are doing" Jason replied.
" not much word on them... hang on, there was a 911 call a few minutes ago.....a woman who uses ice? That could be Eira "
" yeah, I say that be her, you got a location on her?"
" give me a second... last location is the downtown shopping center "
" got it "
As they approach the tomahawk district, smoke and could be seen and Sirens heard, Jason slow down just a little as traffic got thicker from people evacuating, the police had roadblocks to keep people from going inside. " Just say close, this is a group of magic guards, their a mixture of shapeshifter and human who know about us"
Jason maneuvered his bike around the cars and as he approached one of the blockades he held up a badge that had two silver Spears with a phoenix in the middle
"Hay, it the Silver Spears " one of the officers pointed out, they quickly open the barricade " its hell in there " one of them warned as they drove past.
Jason just nodded and gave a small salute.
It wasn't to long inside that the gravity of chaos really was showing, it looked like a war zone, police only had a small areas contained
28 Feb, 2021, 8:09 pm
Alexandrea noticed them coming, she knew they would and she knew she couldn't get out of their way, she twisted with the people and threw them both, one after the other, through an apartment window.
She grimaced as they crashed through, //Better than being dead, little bruises and cuts will heal, death doesn't heal// she squawked as she was rammed by the 2 beasts dive bombing her.
The dark phoenix slammed back down on the pavement, this time in a position where she didn't have the advantage. She felt cold jaws clamp down on the back of her neck and start to twist, trying to break the dark pheonixes neck.
Alex did her best to resist, but she knew she needed help and fear coursed through her at the thought of being killed, she let out a shrill and desperate call, loud and sharp enough to pierce even the chaos around everyone for at least a hundred feet in all directions.
28 Feb, 2021, 8:12 pm
Nooo, the reposts are ugggly
People can just go look at the old session, it ain't that hard
28 Feb, 2021, 8:12 pm
he guards were already uneasy with the commotion going about and now having the Nightmare here asking to let out there most dangerous prisoner was not settling well " are you nuts?! You know this thing is dangerous and I'm not going to just hand him over to a Nightmare, the world already on fire, we don't need to poor lighter fuel on it" one guard snapped, the others did a small bow seen that the queen great grandson was present, she cleared her throat " as my coworker was meaning to say, Crimson is to dangerous to be let loss, we don't fully understand the corruption that afflicts him "
Dreamcatcher had slowed down and stood along side Eater, the tension in the air from everyone emotions was distracting him but he was trying to focus on what was happening right here " thank you, but we are fully aware that Crimson is corrupted and a threat but so is most of the group... what he did wasn't of his own choice, that much we all know and right now under these circumstances if he willing to fight, can you let him? If anything maybe he can use this opportunity to provide that he really isn't a bad kid, I know you don't trust Eater but can you trust me? "
The guards looked at one other and thought there demeanor seem to shift it to more relaxed, the one answered " I'm sorry you're highness but we have are orders "
" let them pass " Victoria stood behind Catch and Eater, she was tall and Stern, with a cold look on her face.
The guards both bow and back way " yes your Majesty" they replied
Dreamcatcher had never seen such a cold look on the queen face, it sent a chill down his spine " thank you, your Majesty..." he said cautiously but with worry, something didn't seem right with her, there was something he seen in her eyes, but now wasn't the time to ask questions or he didn't think it was the best time for that
28 Feb, 2021, 8:13 pm
Fiona grunted as she felt the first monster's claws make contact with her arm. And soon after, the second one started slashing at her too, which brought her back to the ground. //Ugh...!! I NEED TO HURRY UP AND MAKE SURE ALEX IS OKAY!!// She couldn't swing Shockwave at the monsters with one of them latched onto her arm--so she decided to let go of the sword. Instead, the Elemental shoved herself underneath the shadowy pterodactyl on her arm, tried to grab its beak with her other hand so it couldn’t snap at her, and hoisted it up above her. Then, in a wrestler-esque fashion, she attempted to twist around and swing the monster at the other one attacking her.
28 Feb, 2021, 8:14 pm
The door Purity open would lead to a room that did not fit expectations on the light house especially from what it looked from the outside, the room look more like a Avery or green house, the walls were of silver and wood strands that intertwined with one another to form an intricate cage with stained glass between each panel, the room had a variety of plants, some were green and were similar to plants she would see before but many Purity would have never seen, silver leaves, flowers that look to be of gold, plants that look more like Coral or stones.
The very pathway was made of gold and intricate wood pieces and along it was wooden branches.
The path lead to fountain in the center of the room there there were four dragons... one was mostly black with gems of the rainbow across her and around her was a white Halo... there was a dragon with two heads, one side was white and he had a gemstones on his forehead as his other side was black and he had a gemstone on his chest... the 3rd dragon was mostly black but had an edge of white to him, his gems were shaped like stars and he was holding the paw of the last dragon, she was pure white and her wings were of water poring out into pond.
Bubbles peek out to see the room, his blue eyes went to the place were the water was at but then over towards a window that look out
28 Feb, 2021, 8:15 pm
Blue understood what Qui was getting at, he rolled his wrist and grabbed her hand, pulling her down on top of him. "I'm sorry I worried you, I got caught up in the moment and just wanted to help her"
He sighs, "I won't do it again, especially since I'm positive Soledormir will kill me the next time" he rubs Qui's arm, then hugging her firmly. "I'll keep in mind my priorities, I'll try not to worry you again"
Blue tilted his head to look down at her, "Though I do feel the same about Ai.. As much as I would like to believe she'd stay, we know her too well"
"Just promise me, you'll keep me update and won't do anything too risky?" Blue knew that if Qui chased Ai to the fight, if Ai had gone there. No force on heaven or Senza, would stop him from going too.

Rahab huffed in response to the male Vaseterm and shook his feathers out. "Whether we use the palace or not, getting them away from this district is our first priority. If the rest of town isn't safe, we'll move towards the palace." He flashed his dark wings and began to fly, not going towards thw ground yet. "Let's group up with more air fighters and defend the skies - I have a feeling things are going to get worse up here," he muttered, casting a wary glance to thw dark clouds where the roars had sounded.
28 Feb, 2021, 8:27 pm

28 Feb, 2021, 8:37 pm
While Purity is a little surprised by this room, and rather slowly makes her way across it and around the fountain, she only briefly glances and takes note of things here as she makes her way over to the window, once it catches her eye. "See anything out there, Bubbles...?" Purity whispers as she nervously peers out the window...
28 Feb, 2021, 8:37 pm

//Don't snap at them... Come on... Stay focused...// the Nightmare tries to tell himself and keep himself from curling his lip up at the first guard. //You can keep yourself under control... You need to stay under control, it's going to be even worse than this in the city...//
He slightly turns his head at first when he hears Victoria behind him, then actually turns around, and much like Catch, he feels a cold chill run down his spine too when he sees her face. "... Thank you, Queen Victoria..." Eater quietly echoes Catch, reaching up with one hand to tip his hat to her, then slowly turning and looking at Catch to say, "... Hey, let's get going." Then, he just as slowly goes over and opens the doors ahead of them.
28 Feb, 2021, 8:59 pm
The male Vaseterm nodded " agree! " he beaded his wings to keep up with the dark Griffin " if word has gotten back to the Palace of this attack, I have no doubts that the Queen will send the Vanguard and the Pegasus Knights we just have to buy time!" That what he had been trying to do but he was one one flashy pony in the sky, however there were other other creatures that were not corrupted fighting in the battle against Voids minions.

[Battle in the sky ]
The sky's were littered with monsters of all shapes and sizes.
There look to be a group of harpies off in direction closer to the lower buildings trying to fight off the monsters
A loud Roar called out followed by an explosion of Fire in the area with the tallest buildings, a large red and black stripped Dragon emerged with a Crest full of spines, she beat her wings chasing after monsters and being Chase at the same time.
There was a wing wolf like creature doing his best in a fight against 5 others monsters
There was two Griffins in a battle against 12, one of the Griffins wasn't faring to well as she still look young compared to the older who was trying to defend her

When they first took off Crystal immediately tightened her hold on Jason and tucked her head down to the side. Not really having known how to prepare for what it would feel like once the motorcycle started moving made it a terribly surprising experience once it happened. The girl waited until the initial spike of fright settled down before lifting her head again, and once she did, not much got better. The air whipping past them and all the noise wasn’t easy to adjust to, and everything zipping by in her side vision made her a bit dizzy, but she tried to observe the surroundings anyway, though staying rather still as to not disrupt Jason.
Crystal watched ahead as they drove, slowly but surely starting to see the effects of the attack up ahead. When they slowed a bit, she looked around at all the vehicles and blockages. The girl glanced at the officers that let them into the area they came up to, but soon her attention was pulled to the devastation to the area instead.

(Hi Galaxy! :D How're you?)
28 Feb, 2021, 9:19 pm
( I think it Eira turn for that one so I'll do Ai and Terra next)
28 Feb, 2021, 9:39 pm
Ai would find herself in atmosphere of a Battlefield, the ground was wet from rain and mixed with the remnants of the destruction that was taken place, the smells of oil, blood and smoke and many other foul odors hung in the air.
The streets were littered with trash, debris and Abandoned cars
Ai would hear a motion of sounds by two cars, it would sound like the tearing of Flesh if she got close enough...
28 Feb, 2021, 9:40 pm
(Hey there! I'm doing alright today x3)
28 Feb, 2021, 9:41 pm
( HI Galaxy!! It good to see you!! X3 )
28 Feb, 2021, 9:51 pm
(That's good to hear, Galaxy!~ ^-^ )
28 Feb, 2021, 9:51 pm
(Hey Galaxy! Glad you're doing alright! ^v^)
28 Feb, 2021, 9:51 pm
Ai looked back once she was far enough away, no one had followed her, or at least, she didn't spot any flashy Vaseterm behind her. Her ears twitched, she had thought for sure, the blare of the horn would have got her caught.
Slowing to a trot, the little filly's ears strained forward as she picked up the sounds of tearing. She slowed even more, trying to make each step as light as possible, which wasn't really nessecary with all the chaotic sounds around her.
Ai scowled though as she approached, realizing she couldn't shift to her human form... Just now she was realizing that. She moved to peer around the cars now, to see what the sounds were and what was making them.
28 Feb, 2021, 9:51 pm
Boreas started off a bit slower, letting himself get adjusted to the balance and steering of the bike. Sure, he'd driven something /like/ this in the past, but it wasn't entirely the same... Eventually he sped up and followed Jason.
The Captain didn't say anything, but he did keep his eyes and ears open. He eyed their surroundings--especially as they took their shortcut--and listened closely to the conversation over the radio. //Hmmm... Magic watch... And Eira could be out here already as well...// He noted mentally.
As they gained a visual on the destruction ahead, Boreas knew there was something he needed to do. When they slowed down a little to swerve back and forth around cars, then stopped completely for Jason to show them his badge... Well, Boreas pulled one of the cookies he had in his pocket and ate it. //...Yes, this is my ID--for 'indiscriminate dessert.'
...Better than eating it while driving...//
He gave a respectful nod to the guards as well when they drove by. Then he readied himself for whatever they might face in the warzone.
28 Feb, 2021, 10:22 pm
"Oof! Blue be careful! " Qui fussed at Blue for pulling her on him in his condition, she did do her best not to hurt him more
She took a deep breath, seeing Soledormir and everything that took place was still a lot to think about but the most frightening thing was that the devil knew they were watching... that he had powers to break reality in a vision, the thought of that gave Qui Goosebumps, she had no doubt that Soledormir would kill her love if he were to see a vision of him again " ...thank you... " she whispered in reply to Blue promises
She couldn't let herself rest in Blue arms knowing that to " I know, it why I'm worried about her... she has a wandering spirit always looking for anyway to be like Judas, but what she taking inspiration from him, I wish she wouldn't... I know Judas is good at heart but he still not the best role model... "
28 Feb, 2021, 10:32 pm
Dreamcatcher followed Eater lead and when into the room, he was kinda glad when he could no longer feel the queen glare on them.
There was an elevator that he went in, he looked at the buttons, there were less ones on this one " not to many options" he thinks outloud, still he was going let Eater do the controls, he Assumed Dreameater had visited the red prince before and should know what floor he was on.
Dreamcatcher just stood, looking down as his mind wonders back to the queen " are you sure about this? Lady Victoria let us though but... you seen it to, there was something not right with her " he only said ones the door had closed
Anna was quite to until then " I seen you give that look to Cat..."
" huh?"Catch looked up but not to much because she was on top of his head
28 Feb, 2021, 10:35 pm
Blue did his best not to snicker at Qui, it was only his head that was killing him, the rest of his body felt fine to him.
"Can we blame her, for wanting to be like Judas? I've seen the jealousy and pain burn in her eyes. She's so young, yet she's Judas twin, both made at the same time, and he's full grown. While she's just a small girl. In her mind, she's useless, she should be powerful like her brother" Blue was staring at the ceiling, his mind going through it all... Also he was just trying not to move his head around much, it still hurt, even after the treatment he'd gotten.
"I couldn't imagine trying to live as yourself, but everyone sees you as someone else. How many people look at her and see just a female Omen?" Blue sighed deeply, "Judas is a terrible rolemodel too, like you said, he's got a good heart, but he's a huge mess of a Vaseterm" he tapped Qui's arm with his fingers, "I think we need Ai to start seeing herself as a little girl, not a weapon, and we need to get others to see her that way too... First, we need to get her off the battle field and get her home... alive"
He pushed Qui up as he sat up. His eyes squeezed shut and teeth clenched as his head felt like it was gonna split. "Now where is Suzano? I need something for my head before we go out"
28 Feb, 2021, 10:56 pm
Fiona grunted as she felt the first monster's claws make contact with her arm. And soon after, the second one started slashing at her too, which brought her back to the ground. //Ugh...!! I NEED TO HURRY UP AND MAKE SURE ALEX IS OKAY!!// She couldn't swing Shockwave at the monsters with one of them latched onto her arm--so she decided to let go of the sword. Instead, the Elemental shoved herself underneath the shadowy pterodactyl on her arm, tried to grab its beak with her other hand so it couldn’t snap at her, and hoisted it up above her. Then, in a wrestler-esque fashion, she attempted to twist around and swing the monster at the other one attacking her.
Having its newest shield removed, the monster that wasn’t on Fiona’s arm suddenly jumped back to reevaluate the situation. Fiona’s first swing missed because of this, but she quickly went for a second one, slamming her weaponized monster hard into the other. However, this reckless move also sent the beast’s claws tearing across her arm.
28 Feb, 2021, 10:56 pm
Alexandrea noticed them coming, she knew they would and she knew she couldn't get out of their way, she twisted with the people and threw them both, one after the other, through an apartment window.
She grimaced as they crashed through, //Better than being dead, little bruises and cuts will heal, death doesn't heal// she squawked as she was rammed by the 2 beasts dive bombing her.
The dark phoenix slammed back down on the pavement, this time in a position where she didn't have the advantage. She felt cold jaws clamp down on the back of her neck and start to twist, trying to break the dark pheonixes neck.
Alex did her best to resist, but she knew she needed help and fear coursed through her at the thought of being killed, she let out a shrill and desperate call, loud and sharp enough to pierce even the chaos around everyone for at least a hundred feet in all directions.
28 Feb, 2021, 11:26 pm
The scenery from the window would appear much difference then when Purity was on the ground...
The sand around the lighthouse was a golden color not black as before.
The trees in the distance where not all dead and withered like before, some looked lively, full of colors, even patches of sky broke though the clouds and it was only then that it could be seen in the sky red veins stretching out like fingers pulses of red lightning flickered though the veins...
Bubbles carefully picked his head up to look out the window to, the world seem so different up here to him " warmsss?" Asked looking up at the Dreamer, he comes to explain nice or comfortable things as warm, because it made him feel warm
The sound of Crimson screaming came again but now in this room it sounded distorted, like it was Crimson but wasn't him at the same time, the sound of the monsters shrieking followed but now there was something different about it, an off tone, one that sounded like what made Crimson distorted
Bubbles duck down again, he didn't like those sounds
28 Feb, 2021, 11:26 pm
A majority of the pack of little shadow monsters were distracted by Sparky's loud, shiny appearance. Their gaze snapped to the newcomer of light, and a few of them clawed at him. His distraction was just in time; along with the one door they'd already pulled off, they'd managed to beat open holes in other parts of the car, and the right back door was about to be broken off its hinges as well.
Terra's bullet nailed the monster dragging one of the humans out, and the pack took notice of it. All of them looked to the ghostly Venatavis. After the briefest moment, they became a flurry of shadows, five of them leaving their positions at the front of the car to rush at Terra, while a remaining six stayed at back of the car--though they were trying to get into it, rather than trying to pull the humans out. One was already attempting to worm in through that broken back door.
28 Feb, 2021, 11:45 pm
In actuality, Eater doesn't know exactly which floor Crimson's on, as he hasn't had the chance to visit him, but he makes a guess based on where he can sense him, and pushes the button once he's in there. While he's got something in mind to say as a reply to Catch, Anna's comment makes him stay quiet and think on it some, too. //Anna saw Catch like that? With a cold, stern glare?// he ponders, then looks back on his own memories as he walks of to the wall of the elevator and leans his back against it, //I can't imagine him with a face like that normally, but then none of us are really normal anymore, and he does have Nightmare Syndrome...//
"... Didn't you kind of give me a glare like that once, too?" he finally asks after staring in thought at his friend's face for a moment, "Back in the ice temple place with those white Venatavis? You and I were together and trying to get through a room of ice spikes, we were using fire magic to melt them..." he pauses, briefly wondering about the fact that Catch even had fire magic then, but continues, "I was taunting you about your failures, and I mentioned how I found Weaver's mom in Howaito..."
The Nightmare gets quiet again after he says that and crosses his arms, holding his chicken with one hand. His expression keeps twitching and slightly changing, from a smug smirk to an irritated grimace, then he turns his head away, unable to stand looking Catch in the eye anymore--only to turn his eyes back to him shortly after.
//Why do I freaking feel angry!? Catch is a miserable failure of a brother, he has been for a long time! I could mock him all day!
Freaking, stupid Weaver--I hate being possessed! I should cut into him more just to spite you too!
Aaaaaugh! No--
You make me want to bash my head against something!
You make me want to KILL someone!
Just shut up!//

(Also just fyi if I disappear for a long time and possibly never return, we have some crazy weather going on over here, so I have no idea if I'll lose power or not 'XD )

Having its newest shield removed, the monster that wasn’t on Fiona’s arm suddenly jumped back to reevaluate the situation. Fiona’s first swing missed because of this, but she quickly went for a second one, slamming her weaponized monster hard into the other. However, this reckless move also sent the beast’s claws tearing across her arm as she let go of it and sent it tumbling with the other.
Inhaling sharply through clenched teeth at her new wound, Fiona eyed the pile of monsters for only a second before reaching for her great sword with her uninjured arm. Then, the Elemental heard Alex's cry for help. //MOVE IT, NOW!!!// Not wasting another second, she grabbed up Shockwave and bolted for the edge of the building where Alex had fallen off. She wasn't sure if she'd truly finished off the two monsters she was fighting with... //AGH, BUT--NO, I GOTTA GO!!//
Fiona took a flying leap off the rooftop, "I'M COMING, ALEX!!!" She let herself plummet, quickly taking in the situation below and readying Shockwave to swing at the monster trying to twist Alex's neck.
01 Mar, 2021, 12:15 am
//Oh... it's... not actually completely dark out there...// Purity notes as she looks out the window, and while she does feel a little encouraged by this, the red veins in the sky do have her a little worried too...
But she grimaces as the screams ring out again, and she squints her eyes as she tries to find its source. "It's gotta be close for us to be able to hear it from here, but wouldn't the lighthouse blast it again if it got too close...?" She thinks out loud. Then she glances down and gently pets Bubbles' head with the end of one ribbon. "I know, I know, it sounds horrible, doesn't it...? I wish it'd stop, too..."
After that, she looks back out the window again, and thinks. The screams tug on her heartstrings and make her want to help Crimson... but is that really even him? The more distorted the screams get, the more she figures it's probably just the monster trying to lure her out... Still, she can't help but feel a little guilty. Crimson /is/ out there somewhere, isn't he? If she's somehow in his head? So what if he is in danger...? Is it selfish of her to stay in here, and not even try to look for him, or is it the smart thing to do? When it comes down to it, she simply doesn't know what she's up against here...
For now, she decides to stay here, and keep camping out in the lighthouse where it's safe.
Turning away from the window, Purity then walks over to the dragon statues and the pond, trying to distract herself. "Let's try not to focus on the monster though... Would you want to play in the water, Bubbles? Do you know how to swim?" she asks her little friend, a little concerned about her question since he doesn't even know how to move around properly yet...
01 Mar, 2021, 12:31 am
Alexandrea heard Fiona and the dark phoenix gathered her feet under her and pushed up with all her might, bringing the creature on her neck up and into the Elemental's swing.
01 Mar, 2021, 12:52 am
(Hey there! Sorry for lateness, been cramming on an assignment again, as it goes x'D I wanna make sure I get in a reply though!)
01 Mar, 2021, 12:58 am
Eira gave the other female Vaseterm an acknowledging nod and a small thank you when she went to keep watch out the window. The griffin shiftress flinched and looked Theo over when he yelled and froze up from the medicine she was applying to his wounds. "Sorry," she murmured, knowing she couldn't do anything different, but feeling bad for him regardless.
She looked up to Aaliyah and shook her head. "A few of the people I helped have been minorly burned or hurt though. Making sure this place is secure is first priority though. Do you have any way of contacting others?"
01 Mar, 2021, 1:02 am
Jason maneuvered his bike through the messy streets, it truly look like something from a movie
He was heading towards the Direction Ethan told him Eira was at but that wasn't going to happen...
The sound of gunshots distracted him " hey, Admiral, Freckles were taken a detour, if I know one thing, when you hear gun shots that means troubled! " he made a left turn off an intersection and just up the road he could see where all the Ruckus was coming from.
In the intersection of the head was a bunch of cars scattered about, many look to have been crushed or in an accident and it was easy to pick out why... a huge monster that stood over 12 feet tall and had a resemblance to an ogre was smashing the vehicles, but it wasn't the car it was going after, but people.
A small group of people were putting up the resistance, they had the cars set up as a barricade around a building and were firing their guns at the monster, which didn't seem to be doing much to it
Jason whistled and then said " that a biggin, that alright, we got the dream team here now! even though the Dreamers aren't here "
The Orange hair boy knew they needed a plan, one that had to come at the fly " ok! I got a plan! Kinda! Freckles I'm going to drop you off were me and the Admiral distract Big Smoke Stack over there, can you get to the people and see if any of them need any help"
The monsters stop what it was doing when it heard the sounds of the motorcycles getting closer...
" alrig-- Look out! " Jason interrupted himself as a car was flying right towards them, he quickly shifted his weight and leaned his bike to Dodge the car, however his best moments were to fast and he over corrected sending his bike off course " bad day! Bad day! Bad day!"
He did his best to slow down his vehicle but it look like they were going to crash....
01 Mar, 2021, 1:03 am
(HI Fade!! :D
It good to see you! You get those assignments! )
01 Mar, 2021, 1:17 am
Dreamcatcher turned his head from Anna to Eater, still holding his confused look but as the Nightmare went on he remembered the taunting, the anger and frustration that was burning inside, how he felt he was about to snap // would that be the Eclipse Blue told me about? That strange rage that takes over? I know I felt it went Eira in danger or... when I'm jealous...// he rubbed the back of his head with that last thought, looking down feeling ashamed for not trusting or getting worked up, he knew this wasn't like him, he was always able to keep his cool but after his silver blood waken this new oppression came over.
The Dreamer prince since the conflict of emotions or lack of them from his friend, he looked over grimaced, he thought for a moment of keeping his words to himself but things needed to be said " this isn't helping ether one of us... I remember and I think that look, that feeling of rage is what Blue warned me about my silver blood, some overwhelming instinct but he said it's more meant to protect others... " Catch grew quite with that last statement and shook his head slowly, feeling more like a fool then anything else, he walked over to the elevator wall and leaned up against it as well
The Dreamer prince sighed " maybe we should focus on Victoria? Why would she be in the Eclipse? "
01 Mar, 2021, 1:19 am
Bubbles look up at Purity as she rambled and pets him, he glace at the window, the screams were frightening.
He was happy when Purity moved away from the window, relaxing more when she brings him over to the water, Bubbles making a odd giggle sound "wetsss!" He Wiggles in her ribbons getting excited
01 Mar, 2021, 1:27 am
(Hey Fade! That's alright, it's great to see you!
Best of luck with that assignment!)
01 Mar, 2021, 1:33 am
What Ai was hearing was a monster shredding the body of a person who it killed, the monster was a human size creature but thankfully it hadn't noticed her yet
Up on the roof tops, was a smaller monster that was prowling, it was looking down below for any left alive that it could alarm the others to
01 Mar, 2021, 1:36 am
(Hello Fade!! Good to see you too! ^-^ Best of luck with that assingment!!! :3 )

~~{Song for Terra: Gammoth's Theme - Monster Hunter Generations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ8LdlRBf2A}~~
//Of course they're splitting up, that's the only smart thing to do...// Terradream notices, quickly trying to reload his gun as he watches the five charge at him. //It's more important that I deal with the ones still attacking the car, but these ones coming for me will be distracting... If I could use my earth magic, I would be able to handle this much easier--at least this bowtie allows me to interact with objects easier, but that might mean I have to resort to more brute force measures...// he grimaces at that thought.
Just before the five gremlin-like monsters reach him, Terra takes off again, taking a short but quick flight over the monsters and landing closer to the car now, near where the broken car door lies on the ground, and again he quickly tries to take aim, this time at one of the monsters trying to get into the car. Trying to be mindful of the people in the car as well, but also knowing he doesn't have much time, he fires the gun, his mind already spinning as he tries to plan his next action. //The monsters at the back of the group will be some of the first to turn and come back for me, I'm not as far away as I was at the start, and I won't be able to keep going back and forth above them--that'll waste too much time anyway--and there's no telling if some of the ones getting into the car will come after me either, I'll have to use this car door, which of my forms is the most versatile for this situation--//
Sparky, after his first short distraction, then flies over to two of the monsters trying to get into the car. He goes over to one and starts tugging on its ear as hard as he can, but he also tries to twist himself around in such a way that he can see at least what the other is doing. "Hey there, can you lend me your ear?!?" Sparky CHEERFULLY SHOUTS into the monster's ear, his plan being to get either one of the monsters to take a swing at him, and end up hitting each other...
01 Mar, 2021, 1:39 am
The female Vaseterm was keeping a look out, her ears swiveled as she try to pick out any approaching sounds but it was difficult with all the noise car alarms, screams and monsters sounds
The small group of people with Eira we're congregated together, they looked sacred and worn out.
01 Mar, 2021, 1:41 am
Purity takes a breath to calm herself down some as well, and manages to smile faintly again as Bubbles giggles. She lowers her ribbons down to the water, keeping them under Bubbles for the moment as she gently sets him down, then she lies down right by the pond, tucking her legs under herself.
01 Mar, 2021, 1:43 am
Ai stood rooted to the spot, seeing the monster shred the body, she didn't know how to begin to process that. Sure, she'd seen death before and seen others killed in front of her, but nothing like this.
And it was a monster too, she lowered her head, biting back a whimper. That person was already dead, she couldn't help a dead person, so she quietly and cautiously began to leave. Her head and tail low, her hoof falls as light as she could make them.
01 Mar, 2021, 1:52 am
After a moment longer, Eater clears his throat and mumbles, "So it's a Vaseterm thing?"
~~{Song for Dreameater: Ooh, Wilfre! - Drawn to Life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L10pFHExCWk}~~
Despite making a quiet growl that's likely not intended for Catch, he at least tries to get himself to focus. "Well, what do we know about Victoria and her husband? Oh, wait, not her husband, her /mate,/ because Vaseterm don't marry, they don't need a 'stupid ring,'" Eater snaps bitterly, forgetting the fact that Faithful called her his wife in an earlier vision Catch had a while back. Then he uncrosses his arms and rather aggressively takes another bite out of his chicken...
01 Mar, 2021, 1:52 am
Thanks to Alex lifting the monster up, Fiona managed to slice through it even quicker. She angled it diagonally as to avoid hitting the Phoenix. Though, it was only then that she found she didn't have as much control over her fall as she'd first thought. Normally, she'd stop herself as she made her attack, but instead the Elemental slammed sideways into the concrete, the wind getting knocked out of her. Thankfully, she had her sword at her side after the swing, but... //Wh--What...?!//
She shakily started pushing herself up, coughing a bit. Then she looked up at Alex. "T-there's one more...!"
The last monster had been taking advantage of this opportunity to dig into Alex with its claws, but now that its one ally was gone and it was at a significant disadvantage, it beat its wings, making an attempt to flee.
01 Mar, 2021, 1:53 am
Catch shrugs with Eater first reply " it seems that way"
His attention snapped with the Nightmares rising sarcasm, he stared at Eater for a good moment// I had a feeling that this has been Eater this whole time, Weaver wouldn't have said those things // he thought on how he could get Weaver put more, it was pretty obvious that Eater was aggravated and he didn't want to add to the fire, however he didn't like his friend being dragged though the mud, sure yeah, he didn't approve of people just being mates ether, marriage sacred to him and the only way for two to truly be a husband and wife.
With that thought, Catch realized something " now hang on here, Faithful Dreamer and Alexandria were married, we been told this and we seen it in a vision " he put out a hand in a calm motion or for a pause to hear him out " I know Vaseterm have life bonds but you can't count them as animals, they are capable of marriage and I know the feeling Faithful had for his wife and her for her husband, it was more then just the flesh " he then looked to the door and Frowned with what he said next " I don't know how they whole species views and values are but you don't ether, we know not everyone holds the same values as us and honestly, I petty them... but should we be so harsh if they don't know the truth? "
01 Mar, 2021, 1:55 am
Bubbles start to kick his paws as Purity holds him above the water much like a dog or cat does.
When the little wyvern snake is put in the water, he doesn't actually try to swim, instead he just kinda floats with his wings out slightly
01 Mar, 2021, 2:01 am
Purity lets him go, and watches him float around, leaving her ribbons in the water as well. (She likes water too, after all.) "You like it?" she cheerfully asks.
01 Mar, 2021, 2:11 am
Qui led there to and sigh, her heart broke for her daughter, the situation that she was in was hard to even grasp " I think that be best for her, I never wanted Ai to see herself as a weapon and I hate how she try to pretend to be one like her brother....I know she made, that she has the ability to become one but it shouldn't be something she feels she needs to be, no one should be made to be a weapon "
The brown hair Woman made a face, at that, she really hope that Ai wasn't out there but her gut told her better " with what we know, she might not be able to use magic just like everyone else " she sat up, wanting to get going
" I'll go get Suzano, she been with Purity every since the attack this morning " Qui got up to go
01 Mar, 2021, 2:13 am
At the very least, Eater quietly listens to Catch while he makes his argument. Once the prince is done, Dreameater snaps back--albeit just a little calmer than before: "Do you think I freaking care if I'm being harsh or not? I'm not a /Dreamer,/ Catch, I /eat the misery of others,/ I'm not gonna shed a single tear if I freaking hurt someone's feelings, if the Vaseterm wanna pretend that they're not any better than animals, they can go right ahead, I can make fun of them all day long." He then huffs arrogantly and adds in with a slight, smug smirk, "And ok, so Faithful married Queen Victoria then, if not all of the Vaseterm follow the idea of life bonds being good enough--/like those two "mates" were making it sound like they all do/--then maybe I should give Faithful some credit! He was a Dreamer after all, maybe he taught Victoria and her Moons-forsaken people some actual /morals/ so they're not /all/ idiots."
The elevator comes to its stop as Eater is making the last of his rude remarks, and Eater goes to leave the moment the doors are open, not even waiting for Catch this time.
01 Mar, 2021, 2:15 am
Dreamcatcher let out a deep sight when the Nightmare storms out of the elevator, he wanted to say more but knew by now there was no getting though to Eater and all the Nightmare was doing was making Weaver look bad along with him
" Eater a jerk" Rihanna blurted out
Catch reached up and petted his Fairfin " yeahhhhh, he is and Weaver stuck in there with him... I wish we could do more for Weaver but Eater seem even more on edge now that he knows Weaver alive "
" I get the feeling all the faer going around isn't helping ether " his Fairfin replied worried
" I can imagine not... if I was in my dark form it probably be bugging me more...I mean I can still feel it but it different, it's not like a Taste in my mouth but more like a wight on my shoulders, a pressure, it doesn't feel good but as a Nightmare... this I know would be tempting, Eater said it himself... I just hope Crimson is able to help and not make things worse" he takes his hand and more it to the back of his neck, it was all very stressful but as he was thinking deeply on many things, he could sense Glory emotions and even though she had been quite this whole time, he felt she to was hurting, Dreamcatcher moved his hand back up but this time to pet the poor forgotten Fairfin " well figured this out Glory, we're going to free Weaver "
Anna was quite as her partner spoke and then petted her friend // Nightmares really suck// she thought frustrated to herself, she wanted to bop Eater on the nose if she knew it wouldn't hurt Weaver to.
But now wasn't the time to dwell on it, Eater already had a head start " Catch there some things I want to talk to you about but not right now, you better hurry before Eater leave you behind "
" oh right!" The Dreamer prince snapped back into it, he hurry out the door and down the only hallway after Eater, it didn't take him long to catch up and was behind the Nightmare now.
Catch still want to do something to at least let Weaver know that he knew this wasn't him but how? Words was only setting Eater off so he did the brotherly thing and placed his hand on the Nightmare shoulder, yes Eater was still warm but at least he wasn't super hot like before.
Catch just wanted Weaver to know he still was there for him, that he knew this wasn't him but Eater, and though the Nightmare was being a jerk he wasn't giving up.
However it was about that time the Dreamer prince felt something he had never before, his soft pat turned into a hold as he himself stopped with this new sensation he was experiencing
01 Mar, 2021, 2:16 am
Once Alexandrea felt her neck released, she focused on the last flying monster, she beat her wings hard and tore after it. It only took a few strong beats to catch it in her talons and she proceeded to shred it mercilessly.
Afterwards, she kinda fluttered her way down to Fiona, wincing as she landed, "Oh owwy" she made a hissing sound, not one of aggression, but one of pain. "If we could get rid of this barrier thing, I could heal both of us" she waddled to the Elemental. "I'm gonna be a red phoenix at this rate"
01 Mar, 2021, 2:16 am
Bubbles floats in the water, just letting the soft current from the fountain pull him around, he did occasionally paddle a paw
"... that... what the word? Cute? " Sunny voice spoke up again
01 Mar, 2021, 2:21 am
"Be quick then, we don't have much time" Blue looked worried, even baring his teeth slightly as he turned his gaze to the nearest window. //Oh Ai, you fool//
He waited until Qui was gone and out of his sight, before he got out of bed, walking to the center of the room, he held a hand to the side of his head as he started to give orders.
"Five of you nurses are with me!" Blue managed to shout, his voice firm and commanding, "We're heading to the Tomahawk District in a few minutes, gather what you can and be ready!" he caught the eyes of a few nurses, "Now!" and they all scattered to get supplies ready to follow the Clan Leader to the fight.
01 Mar, 2021, 2:25 am
The monster shredding the body body hadn't heard anything yet.
The monster pearling the Rooftops was keeping a keen eye on the ground, it spotted something moving down below, it toss its head up and started to howl alerting others in the area
01 Mar, 2021, 2:32 am
Ai freaked out when she heard the howl, the filly knew in her gut, that was not a good sound. She hoofed it down the road, weaving between vehicles, all four legs were pumping hard as she just gave it.
She was gonna head deeper into the city now, sticking to running around and through non moving vehicles in the road. Then it clicked, she hadn't left the Vanguard too far behind, at least she was hoping.
The little filly began to let out neighs and high pitched calls that she was hoping any nearby Vaseterm would recognize as a Vaseterm foal. She didn't stop running, as she could hear the monsters pursuing her.
01 Mar, 2021, 2:41 am
Glory nuzzles Catch's hand when he pets her, but even still she stays quiet, either not knowing what to say, or simply not being in a mood to talk. //... Weaver can't control himself anymore...// she quietly thinks, //And the Nightmare keeps making him do horrible things... but what can I do to help him...?// Tears start forming in her eyes, but she rubs her eyes and her face with one paw. //I... Weaver needs me to get better too... I can't stay like this... I need to get better so I can help him... We'll all find something to help Weaver...//
~
Dreameater, meanwhile, has gone right up to the guards blocking the next door just out the elevator. He only slows down when he feels Catch come up behind him and pat him on the shoulder, and then he stops too, also feeling something he's never experienced before... but it's not what Catch is feeling. The Nightmare narrows his eyes, then turns his head to stare at the prince. "... What the freak is wrong with you?" he asks in a snappy yet confused tone of voice, but he doesn't say anything about what he's feeling.
It's almost as if he can vaguely feel the reassurance that Catch wants to share with his brother, despite the fact that he as a Nightmare can't feel that on his own...
01 Mar, 2021, 2:42 am
Purity's ears perk up immediately when she hears that friendly voice again. "Oh! Sunny, you're back?" she blurts out in surprise, looking around the room again despite knowing by now that she can't see him.
01 Mar, 2021, 2:43 am
"... you can hear me again?" Sunny sounded equally surprised " ... I never left...I don't know why you couldn't hear me again..."
Bubbles continue to float laps, he look up at Purity as he passed her each time "wetsss" he giggled
01 Mar, 2021, 3:12 am
"Huh... I don't know why, either," Purity replies, back to watching Bubbles slowly spin around in the pond. "That's so odd, It's like there's something that has to be done or... Something, in order for me to be able to hear you, but I don't know what it could be... Hmmm..."
01 Mar, 2021, 3:39 am
" ... I guess so?... " he pause, he couldn't think on what it could be, Purity was the first to ever hear him though "... I haven't had anyone else talk back to me before but if it because something has to be done maybe that why?...."
The sound of Crimson screaming again ring out, this time it broke and changed midway into a horrible Screech
Bubbles flinched and splash in the water trying to get back over to Purity " frightened!"
"... he is not happy..." Sunny sounded a little concerned "....stay down..."
just seconds later the shrieking from before happened, a red flash from the window lights the room and then it hit... the lighthouse shook from the blast, an attack that would have destroyed anything within this dream however this place thought it didn't seem like much was a fortified Fortress, a Fortress meant to keep demons at bay
01 Mar, 2021, 3:41 am
Just as Terra thought, the gremlin monsters at the back were the first to turn and start heading for him again… Though, two of the monsters broke off from the group and starting climbing up a nearby building. Another one ran towards the car, aiming to jump onto it to gain a vantage point, and the remaining two just charged towards Terra.
The ghost’s gunshot hit its target yet again—but there was still a lot to take care of. If they weren’t already, the people who were still trapped in the car were definitely panicking now as two other monsters were working quickly to get inside. The one trying to get in through the back was nearly three-fourths of the way in, and if any of them got all the way inside, they would use the car itself, along with the people as protection… If they didn’t also just try to kill the people.
On the other hand, the one Sparky was CHEERFULLY GOADING did, in fact, take a swat at him. The gremlin next to them let out a hiss as it was struck it instead. The monster sent a swing right back at the one who’d whacked it, and there was a moment of disarray where the two of them seemed to be aggressive towards each other… But soon they both figured it out, and one started clawing and snapping at Sparky, being mindful of the other as it continued breaking into the car as well.
01 Mar, 2021, 3:45 am
Fiona had the faintest of grins as Alex caught up to the fleeing monster and tore it apart. Though, that quickly faded as the Elemental got to her feet, letting out a breath as she took some time to recover from her fall... Not to mention her bleeding arm. “Not with me, you won’t!” She declared in response… Despite not really having any way to stop the bleeding from either of them.
“That was rough, but w-we’ll get through this! Are you feeling okay to keep going, though?” Genuine concern was on the Elemental’s face, “Ugh… We need to get your magic back or find something to tend our wounds… But we also gotta get these people out of here—and the ones up there, too!” She went a mile a minute, referring to the two people on the ground with them that Alex had saved, and the rest of them who were still on the top floor of the building. “There were a couple of those things left up there and I don’t know if I took them out!” She hopped a couple of times, eventually getting back into the air with some exertion.
01 Mar, 2021, 3:52 am
"I think if anything, we get them to at least the outskirts of the chaos arena, then maybe I can use magic to heal us and they'll all be safe from monsters" Alexandrea groaned at the thought of having to fly up again. But she did it, beating her wings hard and shoot up and onto the roof.
01 Mar, 2021, 4:05 am
Purity grimaces as the screams come back, this time changing to even worse shrieks, and she holds her ribbons out in the water to pick up Bubbles again. "Ok..." she whispers back when Sunny tells her to stay down, and she flinches when the monster screeches again, but she yelps and accidentally jumps into the pond with Bubbles when the lighthouse shakes from the blast.
... She doesn't try to get up out of the pond afterwards, and carefully holds Bubbles close to her with her ribbons. Purity kind of hides in the pond, with just her ears, eyes, and her nose above the water, watching and waiting to see what'll happen next, and if her and her snake are safe...
01 Mar, 2021, 4:06 am
Qui had rushed to the elevator and was making her way down ( this is a different elevator then what Catch and Eater are in )
She hug herself // Ai please be safe //
The level Purity was on wasn't to far below, she got out and made hast to the room the Dreamer was in, the guards let her though.
In the room Suzano was taken note of Purity condition, she looks up seen the princess " lady Qui? Is there something that you need?"
Qui nodded but looks to the sleeping Dreamer " how is she doing?"
Suzano look to Purity " she stable for now... it is odd though, I am seeing signs that I have not very long time, signs of dream walking... no Dreamer has been able to Dreamer walk since the Nightmare curse, so that must be true that Purity no longer carries the curse "
" what really?!" Qui eyes widened
Suzano nodded " I am just not sure who dream she is in... her heart rate has rise but it seem to be normal again but this isn't what has gotten me curious, but the corruption in her wound of her abdomen has seen to slow to a stop..were running test now " the head Nurses had a feeling that Qui were there for more then a check up though " Qui, was there something else you were wanting?"
The brown hair woman stepped in more as she explained " Blue wake, we think Ai went out on and will probably head out there if she can, he needed something for his head so he can go look for her"
" you and I know, he will do more then just look for Ai when he out there, and in his condition I am against it but I know there no stoping him " Suzano sighed, she walked over to counters and setting or clipboard on top, she then opened the drawer, she pulled out a bottle and walk back over to Qui and hand it to her" This isn't a fix, it will ease the pain and swelling in his head but what he needs is rest"
" I know but with the attack, we have to do something " Qui replied worriedly
Suzano gave a sympathetic look, she had live though many wars, this one was no different " that I understand and my staff has already made preparations as Victoria order "
" right! I know you and Victoria will have it covered! Thank you Suzano!" She gives a quick bow and then headed back to were she last seen Blue
01 Mar, 2021, 4:08 am
The horrible screeching went off again and like before it was followed by other blast, the room shook again
"...he is very mad, I don't think he likes you or you being in hear..." Sunny sounded thoughtful with what he said next"...you should be safe as long as you stay in here... he hasn't been able to last long before having to give up..."
Bubbles just clings to his new friend for dear life
01 Mar, 2021, 4:12 am
Anna give her Fairfin friend a side hug
" wait, what?" Dreamcatcher blink at the Nightmare still confused by what he was feeling but now he had to collect himself
" I don't know..."The Dreamer prince let go of Eater as he focuses " I feel something weird, like I'm being pulled towards that room " he started to closes his eyes like this was something natural " it's weird..." he grimaced as he try to explain " rage and there so much fear, but it's feel like it..." his eyes shot open "what Purity?! "
01 Mar, 2021, 4:18 am
Blue had nurses gathered around him, 4, one was trying to find any extra of those cookies, so they could be more efficient in the fight.
The young royal waited for Qui to return, making sure to not move his head around so often, or talk much. He was just kinda bearing it, like a really, really bad headache. When he spotted his mate, he waved as he walked and the nurses followed behind him.
"I've got 4 here and another is gathering some of those treats the others took, so we can use magic and fight properly in the battle zone" Blue was explaining as he walked up to Qui
01 Mar, 2021, 4:28 am
Purity stays quiet as Sunny says what he does and the monster attacks the lighthouse again. After a moment, she slowly lifts her head a little more out of the water. "... Yeah... I don't think he likes me either..." she mumbles, then thinks a little more, and her concern grows. "... Sunny? Am I really in Crimson's head?" she then asks, "If I am, then Crimson /is/ out there somewhere, isn't he? He's out there with that monster that wants to consume him...? Is... Is he going to be ok, Sunny? I want to help him if I can, but... Well, we both know that monster wants to kill me... and I don't know how to find Crimson, if he is out there..."
01 Mar, 2021, 5:04 am
As they worked their way through the streets Crystal looked all around at the devastation in complete and utter shock, wondering just how it got like this.. and terrified for when they find whatever caused it.
The girl tensed up at the sound of gun shots, and when Jason mentioned they were such sounds, she couldn’t help but think back to the gun discussion earlier in the kitchen for a split moment. ‘So that’s what they sound like..’ she thought, coming to the conclusion that she indeed didn’t like the idea of that weapon just based on the noise it made. After Jason’s announcement she gave a small “Okay..” in response, and when they came up to the point of being able to see what was going on, Crystals eyes widened and she sucked in a gasp as she saw the huge creature ahead of them. She glanced around and took in what she could, noting the smashed cars, the people, and the ones trying to help the situation.
Crystal listened to Jason as he spoke about his plan, “I- I can try to get to them,” she replied to him. Taking a quick look back towards Boreas, the girl then flinched when Jason shouted, and everything that came next all happened so fast the only thing Crystal could manage was to just hold on and hope for the best as the boy dodged the vehicle launched their way.
01 Mar, 2021, 5:04 am
Aaliyah watched as the a man guided the rest of the humans down into the basement. Her ears twitched as Eira spoke, "I don't have a way, not in this form and we're stuck in this form"
She nods to the basement door, "Our best option right now, is to block that door, so nothing can go in after the humans. Once this problem is dealt with, we will send someone back to let them out"
Her gaze moved to the open window, then back to Theo, "I know where the Vanguards would typically set up, we have locations all over Senza in case of emergencies. We should head there now, we may find weapons and others to aide us"
Aaliyah trotted over to a table, "First, help me baracade the place"
01 Mar, 2021, 5:13 am
"... your friend?..." Sunny went quite for a moment and really thought about it and then answered honest ".... I believe so yes... Unless your in mine but at the same time, I know that cannot be... yes I remember things but I don't feel they belong to me but to your friend...." Sunny went quite again, he didn't understand why he knew some things that he felt he shouldn't and at the same time he also knew there were things he should know, even simple things just like his own name or even Crimsons, even after Purity spoke it, it was like a void, a blank space... he understood what and who she was talking about but his name just didn't exist belong her lips... " im not sure were your friend is but I know he still alive, this lighthouse would not be standing if otherwise.....I just...."However this wasn't frustrating Sunny, it was he wanted to give Purity answers to questions he didn't know himself, he wanted to help her but what could he do? "... I wish I could help you more then just giving you bits of information.... I don't know were exactly your friend is... I have found him wondering in his dreams, looking for something but I lose him...he doesn't call back when I try to reach him... I....there so much pain here... I know the creature takes delight in torturing him..."
The lighthouse shook again from other attack from the monster, however the humming from the lighthouse started up and everything went quite except little chime of the music box was playing louder, maybe it was or maybe it could be heard better with the rest of the world falling silent.From Purity position she could see light traveling along the Silver in the room, even the pool she was in glow, Then the sound that came before the song of the attack, the light from the blast illuminated the room.
01 Mar, 2021, 5:16 am
Eira nodded and got up, trying to take in all the information and assess what to do next. "How did this ever come about?" She wondered wearily as she helped moved chairs and tables to block the basement doorway. "It's not easy to imagine a happy way out of this, when so many lives have been lost already... I don't know how to stop all this yet, except stick together and fight to the end..."
01 Mar, 2021, 5:16 am
"Mmm..." Purity mumbles quietly at first, listening rather sadly as Sunny tries to explain. "It's ok Sunny, bits of information are better than nothing, you're trying to help," she tries to encourage her mysterious friend, "I'm glad at least that Crimson's alive, but... I hate that the monster does that to him, I want it to stop..."
The Dreamer goes quiet with the rest of the world once the lighthouse starts readying its attack, and it's then that she really looks around and takes in how beautiful this room is. She can't help but blink when the light flashes in the room.
She's quiet for a while longer after that, mulling over everything Sunny has already told her. "... I really want to talk to Crimson when I wake up... If things have gotten better outside the lighthouse since he's been with our group, I want to actually try to get to know him more and help him... I won't forget you either, of course." Purity smiles faintly at that and glances over at Bubbles, who she's carefully holding next to her side. (She said that to Sunny, not Bubbles, but in her mind she felt that was obvious. I'm clarifying to to make absolutely sure there's no confusion here.)
01 Mar, 2021, 5:19 am
Glory returns Anna's hug and sighs.
//... He wasn't trying to do anything to me?// Eater ponders as he listens to Catch's explanation, dusting off his shoulder when Catch pulls his hand back, and takes that strange, foreign feeling with him. He raises an eyebrow when Catch makes his last exclamation. "You can sense it too now, huh? Yeah, Purity's consciousness is in Crimson's head somehow, which is all the more reason to wake Crim up. He warned me that Nightmares that have tried to get into his head have all /died,/ so I don't want Purity being in there any longer than she already has been," Eater explains in return before heading off past the guards, that reluctantly let him pass, seeing as they were informed the two were coming already.
01 Mar, 2021, 5:22 am
The monsters in the area was alerted to the new threat, they abandoned the bodies and others thinking they were messing with to go after live prey...
Soon Ai had at least dozen monsters after her and more were sure on their way with all the noise, some were hoping across the roof of the Vehicles as others with their way around them, she had a few running of the Rooftops of the buildings now, they were quickly gain on the little filly....
One of the monsters from the Rooftops lep off and was surely going to land on Ai...but it's plan would be foiled as a much bigger creature tackled it out of the air... a black and flashy chimera had hold the the monster with her tiger head, she landed on a car and with her dragon head grabbed ahold of the other part of the monsters and rip it in two.
Nora wasn't the only one on the Battlefield, two of her siblings were with her, a long with 4 pure bloods.
The other two chimeras were up on the Rooftops going after the monsters up their, one of Nora's young brother ( only by 100 years) was making quick work of the smaller monsters, Cushing then under his massive paws and ripping them apart with his many heads much like his older sister did.
" Nora! Stop being so Reckless! " the other chimera scolded, her young sister, she was smaller but quick on her feet, unlike her older siblings she didn't bite the monsters, but instead relied on her speed and paws to cut down her opponent
The 4 Vaseterm were together as Ryder in Mount making two pairs, both sets were females.
One Ryder had a Lance and shield, her partner changed at the monsters and both made a Battle Cry
The other Ryder was armed with a bow, she was quickly drawn her bow and snipping the monsters, she hopes off and on to one of the cars roof and continues to picking them off, one by one. Her partner head towards Ai " Ai?! What are you doing out here?" The Mare asked in alarmed
01 Mar, 2021, 5:32 am
Ai let out a scream as all the monsters were chasing her, forget panic calls, she was full on screaming bloody murder by the time Nora saved her hide.
She didn't even realize in her haste that the ones fighting were Nora and her siblings. She had just gotten a glance of bigger monsters and was blinded by fear.
Ai didn't stop until she was hidden and sure no monsters were after her now, her eyes were white rimmed with terror. She really regretted going out now, but she didn't know she wouldn't be able to shift, summon her familiars, nothing. She had fully expected to rely on Gypsy or Armadillo shredding the monsters apart.
She peered out from her hiding spot when she heard her name spoken, her hiding spot being under an unmoving transport. Ai just stared at the Mare, too winded and terrified to speak for the moment.
01 Mar, 2021, 5:39 am
Dreamcatcher stood there like a deer in headlights as Eater explains what he knew until the Nightmare started to walk away " Woah! Hang on he can do that And Purity in there?!" The Dreamer prince rushed after Eater // he can kill Nightmares, in his sleep?!// it didn't seem possible, Nightmares were the know dream hunters // just what is with this guy? How we get Purity out?//
Crimson was still tied to the bed sleeping, the machines that were hooked to him were making various some noises and flash symbols they wouldn't understand.
Catch grimaced at what he was seeing// he having a nightmare and Purity in his dreams// Crimson eyelids shifted and fluttered as he let out moans and took panicked breaths " no...stop... no.... I didn't... please stop me.....Mina...I....I-I didn't mean to..."
Inside the room stood other another guard and 2 nurse, one of the nurses stared to voice her concerns " s-ir you shouldn't take him, he not stable "
01 Mar, 2021, 5:52 am
The female Vaseterm Pinback her ears as she hears a Screech " I think we're going to get some company soon"
01 Mar, 2021, 5:56 am
"Don't sound so bleak" Aaliyah finishes shoving the table in, wedging the basement door shut, right as the screech reaches her ears.
"Lady Eira, would you be okay, riding on my back?" The mare asks, tilting her head, "I was thinking we could make a run for it, draw the attention of the monsters away from the building, use ourselves as bait. So the humans stay hidden and safe" she stood by the griffin shapeshifter, "What do you say? Do you have a better plan? We don't have much time"
Theo had, in the meantime, rolled onto his knees and then carefully got up, he flared his nostrils and walked over to the window, "They're still a bit away" he reports as he looks out, "But we should go, and go now"
01 Mar, 2021, 5:59 am
Fiona flew up with Alex, though she definitely wasn't as quick. She found herself using the fire escape to pull herself up as she neared the top.
Once she reached the roof, she immediately readied herself to fight more... But saw that she didn't need to--they had actually finished off all the monsters who were attacking them... For now.
The Elemental walked over to Alex, "That sounds like a plan!
Do you think you'll be able to carry the people we've rescued? I think there were three with the ones who I fought..." She muttered--because she shouldn't have actually known about the two who Alex saved because she threw them into the building, but I forgot.
01 Mar, 2021, 6:01 am
Alexandrea nods quickly to Fiona's question, "Yup, I can carry quite a few people, just get them to hold on tight" she moved further onto the roof, laying down and waiting now.
"We should hurry though, I imagine it won't be too long before more show up" Alex looked around the skies, "Or at least, we should move on after this, to help others"
01 Mar, 2021, 6:25 am
It took a moment before Sunny replied, his voice carried his discomfort " ....I-I think that be good for him.... your friend hasn't given up...if anything I think his resilience has gotten stronger...."
He grew quite, it was something odd to hear, that he wouldn't be forgotten when he didn't even know who or what he was, but it did come as a comfort "... thank you..."
Bubbles just looked up at Purity, his blue eyes wide and still very spook
01 Mar, 2021, 6:29 am
Qui slowed when she got close to Blue, she gave him a puzzled look " treats?" // I know his head got pretty messed up, but treats to counter the spell? //she had heard something was given out to some members but she didn't know what it was, treats sounded silly to her, this was a high level spell, something more powerful they what any Vaseterm here could do, she even wondered if Judas could cast something on this level, she knew he could dispel and break other summon magic but this?
Not sure that her mate really in the condition to go out, especially with him speaking nonsense " Blue, are you sure you're up to this?" She said but hold out the bottle
One of the nurse has returned to Blue carrying the weight of her unfortunately on her face " I am sorry master Blue but it appears we only had a limited number of items available and well... im sorry to inform you that they have already been distributed...."
01 Mar, 2021, 6:30 am
Purity still feels horribly sympathetic for Sunny, especially knowing that any blast the monster takes, hurts him as well, but she tries to stay positive despite the pain she hears. "You're welcome, Sunny, you don't give up either, ok? I don't know if I /will/ be able to come back to visit you or not, but I'll try to find some way to help you, too! Maybe you could try to think about and remember things if you can? Even if it's just small little things, it could be a start?"
She takes her ribbon and gently starts petting Bubbles on the head to try and help him calm down, now that she is calming down too--what with the lighthouse standing firm and blasting the monster again.
01 Mar, 2021, 6:36 am
"Apparently, and I don't doubt him," Eater simply remarks back to Catch as they both go in, and he walks straight over to Crimson's bed, still with his half-eaten chicken in hand. He huffs and casts a slight side-glare at the poor nurse, then snaps at her, saying, "Well, it's a little late for that now, I'm not wasting my time with going back down the elevator empty-handed after wasting my time coming all the way here!"
The Nightmare then grabs Crimson by his upper arm and starts shaking him. "Hey! Get up, the city's under attack and I need you, wake up!"
01 Mar, 2021, 6:36 am
Blue took the bottle from Qui, scowling down at her, "I'm just fine, and yes, treats, cookies, they gave them to members to eat. The magic in the treats help us keep using our magic in the zone" he gently nudged Qui with his hip as he walked passed, "I may have lost gemstones, but I'm still with it, mostly" he grinned back at her teasingly.
But it faded pretty quick at the nurses news, "That smells" he sighs, "But we'll make due with what we've got" he glanced around the room, most of the nurses he had gathered, had years of experience in combat and war.
"Alright, let's go" Blue started down the stairs, instead of taking the elevator, he turned the bottle in his hands as he walked. "What do I do with this? Just drink it?"
01 Mar, 2021, 6:38 am
The Mare kneel down, so she wasn't so big and over looming over the small filly " Ai let get you home, your not safe here " she said softly trying encourage the little girl to come out, seen she couldn't Reacher with her arms as she couldn't shift like many of her comrades on the Battlefield
01 Mar, 2021, 6:41 am
Ai pricked her ears up at that, "No, I gotta help" she whispered back to the mare, "I try use my familiars, but they don't come" she wasn't moving to come out yet, "I want to help" but as she spoke, if it wasn't her terrified expression, her voice gave away how afraid she was.
She might have been too scared too move, scared of the monsters, but also the chimeras too.
01 Mar, 2021, 6:43 am
" ...you would want to come back to this place even though you know he will try to kill you?..." Sunny was Surprised by even the Suggestion, he knew she could, she was a Dreamer after all, this was natural for them wasn't it? But why she questioned if she could or didn't even know that?
However with what Purity says last got him concerned "...I will try...but " he didn't want to admit it but he was honest "....I can't even guarantee if I'll remember you or any of this for long....my memory are like ice flowing on the ocean, I can tell parts of me have been melting into the ocean....as other times I feel the ocean has been freezing and fusing to me... " he stopped at this and really think about it, how much of him was left? What was really him? "...I don't want to forget...." he thinks out loud, his voice carring his sorrow
Bubbles started to calm down a little, he still couldn't help but be nervous, he didn't know were the monster was other than he was the Boogeyman out there somewhere...
Though they were taking about it, little would they know that /this / dream was coming to an end.
Sunny words "...I don't want to forget...." would be the last the Purity would hear before this dream shattered like glass followed by a bright light.... the sub conscience of Crimson mind was gone and Purity would find herself back in her own dream ones again...

Dreamcatcher felt bad how Eater treated the nurses, she was only doing her job and doing what she thought was best " well do are best to look after him ma'am, but we need all the help we can for this "
" no! Please! No!"Crimson bobbled and moaned sounding more panic getting shook, his eyelids fluttered partially open showing his eye rolled back, it wasn't long before he took a sharp breath waking up, a look of fear was on his face as he took deep breath, the pupil in his eye was slit for moment before he was fully aware of what was happening " w-hat The heck Eater?!" He was going to snap more at the Nightmare but why Eater was waking him up grabbed his attention " WHAT?!"
Out of reflect Crimson trying to site up but had forgotten he was kinda tied to the bed, so instead he did what Crim does best " WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE CITY UNDER ATTACK?!"

"I already said I would like to try," Purity first replies to Sunny's comments about coming back, though her smile quickly fades to a rather heartbroken, pitiful frown as he continues. She wants nothing more than to hug him... "Sunny--" she was going to call out to him, to try and give him some reassurance, but his name was all she could get out before everything shattered. "AH!" she yelps, flinching as she squeezes her eyes shut and braces herself... but then, nothing more seems to happen. She slowly squints her eyes open...
... And realizes that now she's in a pool out in a familiar yard, in the warm and bright afternoon sun, with an equally familiar house before her. "I'm... home...?" the Dreamer thinks out loud, then glances back to her side--Bubbles is still here with her in the pool, but...
//... Sunny's gone...// Purity realizes, not even questioning it. This isn't like the other times when Sunny suddenly went quiet, there's a very different feeling in the air now, as if some unseen presence that she never realized she could even feel has disappeared, and now that it's gone, she notices that it was even there in the first place.
Now... She feels alone again.
Purity breathes out a sigh, and rests her head on the rim of the pool...

"RIght! We gotta move!" Fiona agreed, hurrying through the doorway she'd broken open earlier. Once she was down below, she tried to send the people up by telling them this; "Hey! We need to get you all outta here, now!
...I know you just had a really bad experience with crazy things and flying, but you're /kinda/ gonna have to fly with my friend--the giant black bird--up top..."
Though, it was only then that she realized that the people couldn’t understand her, and she couldn’t understand what they were saying either, so…
She tried to tell them to go up in a different way—a weird game of charades.
After a bit of pointing and rapid, uninjured arm-waving, she managed to get the idea across and usher the people to the roof. The two who Alex had thrown into the building earlier had found their way to the top as well, thanks to the other rescued civilians witnessing the event.
Fiona followed the group to the top, “Okay, so we’ve actually got five people… We just need to get them on your back!” Using a few more odd, persuasive gestures, and a live example of ‘you should probably hold on,’ the Elemental tried getting everyone onto Alex’s back.
