Hello!!

Ooooh, cool icy cover! I like those angular letters!

Hallooooo!
How're ya doing Shadow, and whoever else may be watching? :>

"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!"

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?!"

" ...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..

"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...

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"

"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.

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...."

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.

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..."

"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"

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....

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.

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

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.

//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...

(Hello! :D

Glad you like the letters today, Fluffy~

I'm doing good, my hand is cold though X'D How're you? :3

And hi Shadow! Thanks for getting the reposts! :D )

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.

WIND!)

( WIND!! I'm glad you're doing good even though it's windy, wind is coldddd

You're welcome! ^-^ )

( me and Lilly did some RPing over the week when we could to try and catch the boys up, we're going to post what we got and then I'll get on my reply)

(Ooooh, okey dokey!

Or, as my fingers wanted me to type...

Okry gokry.)

"Void's minions have gone berserk and are attacking people! There's a spell that neutralizes magic, so once you get in its range, you can't use any magic, and that's where Void's things are going crazy! How do you feel, are you able to help us or not?" Eater very quickly drops that information on Crimson and lets go of him, "Because I'm going out there to try and help, and I want someone more than Catch to keep an eye on me!"

Bubbles didn't seem noticed that the world changed, he just acted like this was normal and maybe it was, seen he was just a figment of imagination

However the snake did claim down now that he wasn't in Crimson dream, he looked up at Purity as she sighed, he float over to the rim of the pool and mimic her, resting his head and sighed " warmsss "

(Our boys, and then Pooty and Bubbles on the side too 'XD )

As it is now, Purity doesn't stop to even question why Bubbles is still with her, when he was originally an octopus crab from Crimson's dream.
She turns her head and her eyes over to Bubbles when he floats over and mimics her, and her troubled expression lightens up some. "Warm, huh...? Are you not scared anymore, Bubbles?" she asks, smiling faintly at him. //I guess... if Sunny's gone, the monster must be gone too? I'm not in the lighthouse anymore, I'm home... So I must be safe? I wonder what happened to Crimson, though...?//

The Nurses look very concerned and nervous but they were told to let Crimson go, so the one didn't protest anymore.
Dreamcatcher stood by the Nurses, he grimaced as Eater woke up Crimson, he didn't like how Eater was acting, even though this was an emergency, the Nightmares attitude was really starting to bug the Dreamer but it what Eater said last to stuck out to him...// does he not trust me?....was he wanting Crimson because he doesn't think I can keep him from going on a Frenzy?...// as he thought that, it hit him how silly it was...that a friend of the Dreamer that Nightmare now took over could stop a Nightmare from attack others, if he leaned anything in school and just life, he know that it was often do to a former friend of the Dreamer who turned who set the Nightmare into a Frenzy... Nightmare had a strong Instinct kill their former self loved ones.

Dreamcatcher looked down and placed his good hand on his bandaged one, knowing that with this overwhelming fear they face in the city and they you put people in there that Weaver was close to, it was asking for Eater to snap // he knows this, we all did... its why Eater dangerous out there, he could lose it, at least if he does he likely come after me or Purity first...that why he really wants Crimson isn't it? It because he knows he come after me first....//

Crimson grumpy look quickly shifted to concern taking in what the Nightmare was telling him, it wasn't good, he knew nothing about Soledormir Will ever was and this world he already knows doesn't have magic which suck to put it lightly in his mind, now there was some spell that neutralized Magic? It sounded like a trap to him, at least from his perspective and just recent experience... Crimson expression quickly changed to him getting frustrated as Eater finishes and makes his request.

He leaned back in his bed and closed his eye as he huffed " I feel like * he said a no, no word * " however it might have seem like he didn't want to go, the thought of people being killed by monsters hit to close to home...// I couldn't do anything back then but I'm not a whelp anymore...// all seriousness Came Upon Crimson as he open his eye " get me out of this dam bed "

Bubbles turned and look at Purity with that, he then look out at his new surroundings " itss brightsssss heressss " he lift his head up and tip his head " itsss muchsss lightssss, lightsss is warmsss" he look back to his friend and smille

Without making any comments on what Crimson said, Eater brings out one of his shackled chains to grab hold of and clamp down on his chicken, then gets to work quickly undoing the restraints on the red prince. "Before we go out there, I need you to swear to me that you're not going to kill Malice if we find him out there. I know that's going to sound absurd to you, but there's something about Malice I haven't told you yet that I need more time to explain--but in short, if Malice dies, we're all screwed," Eater says without even looking at Crimson, being too focused on his goal.

Crimson narrowed his eye at the Nightmares demands, his lip Curl as he asked in an almost growl " so Malice is behind this?...." what seem close to home was setting up to be repeated cycle of his past " I let him go last night..." a part of him regret that, exactly now, how many would die because he let the Nightmare king go? How many would keep dying if the monster keeps living? the red prince tipped his head slightly "...so tell me, I spared him once already and now look want happened....but his luck will run out..."

But why Crimson spared him returned with his last thought, Malice beg to be killed if he was going to lose his heart...something a Nightmare shouldn't have, the red prince had Nightmares beg to spar they but never had one ask to be killed...something changed, something was changing with Malice's and thought he hated it, Crimson could not kill a person... he still didn't want to believe that Malice was changing but Dreameater warning did at least add more reason in not to kill Malice, for now...

Crimson reluctantly said as he looked away " fine, you have my word as a king of Gemehstedy I won't kill Malice in /this / battle but you better give me a good explanation after... " he look Eater in the eyes

Dreamcatcher could since the roller coaster of emotions from Crimson, mostly anger and then rage when Malice was brought up, but as Crimson thought things over the Dreamer was a bit surprised that the red prince agreed, it seem to cool hid rage to , he was still mad but he couldn't since something was troubling him to. // I'll have to keep an eye on both of them but...// he couldn't help but notice some form of trust between the two, kinda like what he and Weaver used to have... Catch looked away as he rubbed the back of his neck, he knew the failure he was, how he let down Weaver, the prince just didn't know how to fix what had been done

//Well... Just like everyone else... There's just nothing I can do anymore until I wake up...// Purity thinks, but, she does try to perk up a little more. At least she's got Bubbles to keep her company and distract her, now. "Yeah... It is really nice here," she replies to the winged lindwyrm, lifting her own head up off the pool's rim now too, "This is my home, Bubbles! This is where I'm from!
... I should probably get out of the pool now..." she mumbles the last part to herself... then carefully stands up in the pool and steps out onto the grass, taking control of the water on her to make sure she doesn't get it everywhere. On top of this, she easily dries herself off by lifting any water in her fur or cloud mane, and simply puts it all back in the pool where it belongs.

... Then she goes the extra mile, taking her ribbons and fluffing up her cloud mane again... But, as she's doing this, she looks back over at Bubbles. "Do you wanna come on out too? I could show you around--maybe I could even try to help you learn how to use your legs?"

" homessss?" Bubbles repeats looking out towards the house

He then watched Purity get out of the water and dry herself off, he just floated there and kicked his paws " legsss! "

Dreameater actually stops undoing Crimson's restraints when the red prince starts with his ominous comments, and looks down at him as he does so, glaring Crimson right in the eye. He remains this way until Crimson finally agrees... and then he finishes what he was doing, fully freeing Crimson from his restraints. "Alright, let's not waste any time then, Crystal and Terra and everyone else are already out there, we're the last ones to go out and help," Eater quickly explains, not even bothering to help Crimson up or even stay by him--the moment the shapeshifter is free, Eater turns and starts walking back to the entrance. After telling Crimson that, he glances at the nurses and guard as he leaves. "Look, if anything else crazy happens with him out there, I will take full responsibility, and I will bring him back here immediately so you can tie him up again."
He doesn't once even glance over at Catch...

"Yes! Legs~" Purity repeats, holding out her ribbons to pick up Bubbles, if he so desires. "You wanna come here, Bubbles?"

The first thing Crimson does when he free was rub his bracelets, his wrists had been sore every since he woke up, it wasn't the first time he woke with them hurting, it happened a lot but now wasn't the time to fuss over it "what Crystal out there already?!" Crimson quickly pulled the plug and wires off himself after hearing that, he then got out of the bed, it felt good to stand and move freely again but he needed to get going But that when he noticed his close or more the lack of them

" WHAT THE HECK IS WITH YOU PEOPLE?!" The red prince toss up his hands looking down at his hospital gown ( CA USA kind, that are more like a rob ) " WEAR THE HECK ARE MY CLOTHES?!"he shouted pulling on the hospital gown

At this point the nurses were to spook to say much of anything, but one of them did nodded at Eater in a nervous way

Catch couldn't help but notice that Eater was ignoring him now, he wasn't liking this but what more could he do? He looked to Crimson as he yelled and grimaced " im sure they had their reasons, you were in a fight last night and were in pretty bad shape "

Crimson narrowed his eye at the Dreamer prince, there was something about Catch he didn't like and right now he didn't care for a reason " so tell me this, what would you know? You weren't there" he tipped his head up " what do you even do?"

When Purity ask if he wanted to come the little dragon snake wiggled in the water " Yesss!" He try to reach his paws up but of course he was still floating, the motion made him Bob and dunk his head in the water

Dreameater didn't look back when Crimson started freaking out about his clothes, he just kept walking off... up until Crimson started turning his attention towards Dreamcatcher. Even though he himself had just been ignoring Catch and not even being the nicest to him, Eater stops dead in his tracks as he listens to them both--as if a lightswitch has been flipped the opposite direction in his brain. He abruptly turns and marches right over to Crimson, strongly grabbing the red prince by his shoulder and turning him around to face him. "Don't you dare mess with him," the young Nightmare growls with a dark tone that matches his dark eyes, "That's /my brother,/ if you mess with him, you mess with me. I know you can make sure I don't do anything stupid if I end up going on a frenzy, and I'm going to try to make sure you don't lose yourself, but neither of us are trustworthy, and that's why I'm bringing Catch. He's going to keep an eye on both of us; but if you're going to go after him before you're even out in the fight, I might as well put you back in that bed right now. Get over yourself and watch it if you want to do something good for once, Crimson."

But Purity quickly and gently lifts him out of the water with her ribbons, so he wasn't underwater for long. "Yes, please~" she coos back to Bubbles, subtly trying to teach him some manners as she dries him the same way she did herself. //I'm still so happy that I was able to save Bubbles after what that monster did to him... He's such a happy little snake now!// she thinks, nuzzling his face after drying him off.

Crimson immediately tensed up getting pulled, he was ready for a fight, though he didn't do anything as the Nightmare threatened him but if this happened only a few weeks ago exactly a year ago Eater would have been a Deadman already and wouldn't even be given the chance to finish his lecture... which only meant that the red prince was at least listing but before Crimson could say anything Catch step forward and placed a hand on both Crimson and Eater shoulder

" guys, not now, Eaters right we can't afford to be at each other's throats right now, not with people depending on us " Dreamcatcher said as calm as possible and still hold the tone as this was important, he was trying his best to defuse the situation, they needed to work together on this

Crimson held his glare on the Nightmare for only a moment longer before breaking it away " fine, whatever, I was only asking a question anyways " he Mumble, it was like someone turned down a dial to a heater that was burning out of control, it was still hot but manageable now, the red prince then pulled himself away from both Catch and Eater grip, he headed towards the door as he continued to speak under his breath and rubbed his shoulder " I'll need to use my armor anyway, I'll work with what I got, let's just go "

Bubbles sneezes blowing bubbles out his nose and shook his head when he was picked up. He looked at Purity when she corrected him and repeats " yesss pleasesss?" He didn't know what please meant but it was something from the Dreamer so it must be warm.

Bubbles makes his giggling sound Beeing nuzzled, he did a little shiver after getting dry and puffed up, looking double his size and twice as fluffy

Dreameater stands there, glaring at Crimson even as Catch comes over, but once Catch puts his hands on both him and Crim, Eater seems to start easing up some. He lets Crimson go when the red prince pulls away, but Eater then just stands there, staring at Catch with a slightly confused look on his face. //... He wants me to calm down? ... What is that?...// Eater thinks, puzzled by the hint of emotion he can feel from Catch, but after just a moment more, he also gets distracted by the fact that his friend had used /both/ of his hands. "Hey, your bad arm, Catch, you don't need to use it."

"Mhm~" Purity hums when Bubbles repeats her, and she giggles seeing him sneeze, then even more when he puffs up. "Awww, you're so cute! But don't worry, being out here in the sun will get you warmed up real quick!" she cheerfully tell him as she walks over a ways, then carefully sets him down in the grass. "Now! ... We have to figure out how your legs work."

" for something like this it was" Catch just smile back, he had took his arm out of its sling while the two were challenging each other, his hand was still wrapped but at least he could move and do some things with it " I'll be fine, I know my limits with it, I won't be able to do anything crazy but maybe just the life-threatening things " he tested to try to ease things a little
Catch then pat the Nightmare shoulder " we should catch up right? It our jobs to keep Crimson out of trouble and he just took off"

Crimson hadn't gone far, he was walking down the hallway, though he wasn't going for the elevator but the stairway, the red prince rubbed his bracelets, he was much calmer now but something was still bugging him, he was irritated that it seemed like things got out of hand no sooner as it seemed like things were calming down, but was that really it? It felt like something else, maybe it was because of how rude he was, but that wasn't really his fault was it? Or maybe it was something else, something just felt off since waking up

" warmsss " he grin hearing that word which to him meant good, happy and well warm and it was a fun word to say to.

Bubbles flattens out when he touches the grass, his eyes widened, this was the first time he had been on something like this, it was weird but not in a bad way, he was more curious than anything.
The little snake dragon got distracted poking his nose through the grass " what'sss it'ssss? what'sss it'ssss? " he asked still poking the grass

The Nightmare tilts his head to the side as Catch smiles and playfully tries to tease, and he stares at him with a look of utter confusion. Nevertheless, a faint smirk creeps its way onto his lips... //Why am I not hungry anymore? But I know I'm hungry--why am I not hungry? I should be hungry? ... I shouldn't be hungry. But I should be! I'm not hungry?// he thinks, trying to wrap his Nightmare mind around this strange... thing that he's feeling, or perhaps not feeling, but another part of his brain gets hung up on something Catch said. //... Crim... Crim... Crimson... OH--//

With that, Eater suddenly seems to snap back to reality, and blinks as he straightens up, lightly grabs Catch's shoulder, and shakes him a couple times. "Hey, hey! We've gotta get going!" he blurts out before quickly turning to follow Crimson out the room.

Only shortly after, he catches up with the red prince, and notices him going for the stairs. "Hey, wouldn't the elevator be faster?" he asks, coming up right beside Crim and pointing at said elevator.

Catch made a goofy face and nodded, like yeah we need to go, he followed after the Nightmare out into the hallway

Crimson glanced over his shoulder and frowned " an elevator? What the heck are you talking about?"

" here it be faster " Catch speed up to get to the door first, he pushed the button and the door opened " think of it as a box that go's up and down without having to walk down a staircase " The Dreamer prince went inside first

Crimson stopped at the doorway and looked in, he made a face " it just a metal room? " he watch Eater and if he go in then he follow

"It's grass!" Purity explains, bending her neck down to watch Bubbles more closely as he explores, "It's a plant that grows on the ground."

After saying that, she starts thinking... and lays down on the ground as well, still close to Bubbles, with her legs tucked under herself again. She stretches her neck out flat, or as flat as she can, in front of herself, then stretches her wings out to her sides. //I know snakes have reaally long bodies, but it's hard to tell where their necks stops and their body starts--and then their tails--// she notes, studying Bubbles in a way, //Then Bubbles has his wyvern wings too, and his four little legs... So how is he supposed to move around? Snakes do that kind of wiggle, and I'm sure that uses muscles of some kind in their bodies, but then...//

"It's a metal room that moves! Hey, come on!" Eater somewhat repeats Catch as he quickly heads into the elevator, waiting close by the doors so he can push the button when Crimson comes in.

Bubbles tips his head as the Dreamer get down and try to mimic him, which he finds pretty funny. The snake dragon giggles and wanted to see what other silly things she do

Bubbles first started by tipping his head, he keep tuning until the top of his head was now on the grass, he keep tuning until he was in a cute pose upside-down " Iss grassss!"

Purity smiles again as Bubbles giggles at her, knowing she must look rather odd, but then, without even realizing it, she suddenly changes... Now she starts tipping her head just like Bubbles did, 'til even she has her head tipped upside down on the ground all cute. "Hee-hee~ You're so cute, Bubbles!" Purity giggles, not even noticing her change in size because she was already almost at eye level with Bubbles before, and she's so focused on him... But now, she's a snake dragon too, with four little forearm/legs, a pair of feathery wyvern wings, and a bird beak. She has some color differences from Bubbles, including her Dreamer patterns, and she has her Pearls as well.

Crimson eye the elevator suspiciously, he then step inside " what is it? Some kind of portal or something?"

Catch stood at the back, he was fidgeting with his bandage, just making sure it was going to fall off " I guess in a way, but it doesn't just poof you're there, it still has to move "

Crimson stood in the middle, he turn his head to examine the room, it didn't look like it had moving parts, other then the door and the metal didn't seen like anything special "huh"

With Crimson inside, Eater pushes the button to send them to the ground floor, then turns to the red prince, holding his arms out to the side. "It has begun..." the Nightmare says in an ominous tone, grinning at Crimson before heading over to one of the walls and leaning his back up against it.

Bubbles stairs an astonishment for moment as his friend changes forms" Isss longsss?" He flip upright and just counting to gawked at her, he didn't really know what he himself looked like others then he wasn't a crab octopus thing anymore "Isss longsss nowsss? "

"Is longs? ... Long?" Purity repeats, holding her head upright again (though she doesn't flip up as quickly as Bubbles does), and she quickly notices something... She can't hold her head up as high as she did before. "... Oh?" she blinks, then looks at her wings--"Oh!"--then she turns her neck around to look at her back--"Ohhhh!!"

With a grin, Purity looks back at Bubbles and exclaims, "Bubbles!! I have a form like you now!!"

Dreamcatcher just smirked at the two of them, seen Crimson have some naively was kind of a refreshing from what he just experienced and with Eater acting goofy the Dreamer prince know this was Weaver.

// there both so bipolar // Anna finally spoke her mind to Catch

The Dreamer glace up and then back to the others in the room // yeahhhhh, but with Eater I understand now, Weavers in their and they two are going back and forth for control.... I just feel bad for Weaver, I know most of what happened was Eater not him but Weaver being forced to be dragged though the mud.... I just wish there was something I could do to help more...// he then looked over at Crimson// I still don't know a lot about him, he looks younger maybe 16, 17? And yet he hunts Nightmares? And I get the feeling he doesn't do it with a group.... he has so much bitterness and hate // with that he remembered what else her sensed... and he looked at the Nightmare in hopes he might know.

Crimson jump and put hid hands out to balancing self as the elevator got started " W-WhAT THE HECK?! " he quickly stumbled over to the edge and grabbed a hold of the bar for dear life, he moved and turned so his back was pressed up against the wall as his hands were in both sides of him like vice grips on the bar, his Sapphire eye was wide with fear " WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?!"

As Eater stands there, leaning up against the wall, his face and even his posture quickly take on a look of exhaustion--he's likely feeling terribly drained after so suddenly going from one extreme emotion to being calm. A quiet sigh is his only remark on his condition though, and he does smirk while Crimson freaks out. "Now... We are descending, /to the ground floor.../" he dramatically announces, albeit in a quieter tone than before, "There is no escape... No turning back now..."

After this, he leans his head back and closes his eyes. Since his mind can't seem to sit still, he tries to spread his senses, and see how Purity's doing. Eater doesn't even mind when Morning Glory, being able to tell that her partner is a bit more under control now, flies over and carefully lands on his shoulder, where she lightly leans against the collar of his coat, up against his neck.

Bubbles pulled his head back as he said " Eesss?!" He would point at himself if he knew how to, the little snake dragon looked at himself and then to Purity then back to himself " ickysss " he made a face

"Yes! You!" Purity cheers, but then she gasps and looks rather hurt. "Icky? You don't like how you look? I--I know it's not like the form you had before, but... I honestly think you're a lot cuter now than you were before..." she kind of mumbles the last part.

Crimson head turns slowly to Eater as he Ominously announced what happing, the red prince was to spook by the elevator and its freaking way it felt as it moved. " I-is this thing safe? " he asked nervously.

" you be fine Crimson, if this wasn't safe it wouldn't be in a hospital " Catch replied given the dragon shapeshifter a reassuring smile, even though the red prince didn't seem to like the Dreamer, Catch still wanted to give the kid the benefit of the doubt, they really didn't know each other and thought he didn't want it to be an excuse but Crimson was corrupted and had a lot of problems, even now the Dreamer prince could since it, he was a mess of emotions both good and bad.

Crimson look to Catch when he said he be fine, it didn't seem to reassure him very much, he really didn't know much about Dreamcatcher and he didn't trust easily " can we just get there already?!"

" it only go's as fast as this but it's still faster then taking the stairs" Anna chime in

Catch just Crimson a sympathetic look before turning to his friend, not only could he see the exhausting but feel it to... // I really hope Weaver be ok out there... were going out to war but he been fighting one this whole time....// he knew he wouldn't be able to commence his friend not to go, so the only thing he could do is support him the best that he could but something else was on his mind to " hay Eater..." Catch started, it was odd for him, he wanted to ask Weaver but after what happened on the way to Crimson the Dreamer didn't know if saying his friend name would set the Nightmare back on guard, he wasn't even sure if what he be asking would do it anyway but he had to know " I can't since Purity anymore...do you know if she ok? " he asked worried about his other friend.

With this Crimson look to the Dreamer prince with a puzzled expression // since Purity? What happened to her? Did I miss something? //

ubbles little ears when back, he didn't mean to make his new friend upset, exactly after all that she did for him, he looked at himself and yeah, his body wasn't the same but maybe it wasn't so bad, it was better then what the scary monster did to him, Bubbles shrugs " itsss longsss, Isss weirdsss butsss notsss ickysss "

"Yeah?" Eater asks, then listens as Catch finishes his question. "Yeah I do, I actually was just wondering that myself," he answers with a small nod, his eyes still closed as he continues, "She's back in her own head now, and she seems safe enough. Actually, her corruption seems to have eased up, and she's happier now, to boot."

The Nightmare then pauses, opening one eye a little to look over at Crimson. "... Since I'm pretty sure you didn't know, Crim, Purity was attacked this morning by some big bad creature of Soledormir's called the Abyss--right Catch? Anyway, it tried to corrupt her and left her for dead, but me and Captain Boreas found her and brought her back here. She threw up her Light Eater, so she's not going to turn into a Nightmare, but she's been in a coma ever since. On the way here, I could sense that she was in your head... I guess Catch can, too. But! Aside from being in a coma, she seems mostly fine, if not better than earlier..."

Purity just watches Bubbles for a moment, but a faint smile returns to her beak with his reply. "... Alright, I'm glad it's not icky," she says.

After that, she looks herself over one more time, thinking about how to go about moving. "Well, let's see... You've got four little legs," she thinks out loud as she lifts herself up using her wyvern wings, curling her neck down to observe her own legs and wiggling her claws, "Except, really, these legs kinda are more like little arms... Or kinda like front legs? Like what some other lizards and dragons have, it's just your back legs are the same as your front legs, and they're not really far back enough to really be 'back legs'... I think... Hmm... Like... They almost are, but not quite?" Still looking down at her arms/legs, she claps her forepaws together as she thinks, then claps her back paws together.

" that a relief" the Dreamer prince gave a sigh and was going to leaned back to when Eater said her corruption had slowed " wait what?! that great!" He straightened up, now Catch was wondering how in the world did that but before he could ask any questions Dreameater was doing what he did best and that was info nuking people...

Crimson nervousness about the elevator quickly shifted to concern " what?" He breath out, his eye lock on the Nightmare.
Catch nodded " yeah... it was the same thing that attack me back that the Venatavis Temple and what corrupted Eira..." he slowly tightened his good hand thinking about the monsters and what it done, but he was unable to do anything against it last time.

Crimson was just trying to process that information when Eater drop more on him, not only did the nice chick get attacked by one of Soledormir top dogs but she was in his head?! " WHAT YOU MEAN SHE WAS IN MY HEAD?!" Crimson practically lep acrost the elevator to grab Eater " WHAT THE HECK?! " * he then shouted a few colorful words in panic and frustration * as he let go of Eater and put his hands on his head looking down, his mind spinning with a thousand thoughts, how did she get there? Is she OK? What did she see?...

Crimson turned his eye up at the Nightmare and asked " are you sure she alright?" It didn't matter how she got there, what matter was she was still alive

Dreameater snaps out of his exhaustion when Crimson practically leaps at him, and the prince's shouting paired with the sudden movement gets Eater to jump too. "Woah! Hey, calm down!" he tries to tell Crimson, holding out his arms for emphasis. "Yeah, I'm sure she's alright, I can sense her life aura up there still, she's alive, and she's even happy now. I know why you're freaking out though, I remember you told me not to go into your head because the Nightmares that have before died, and I was kinda freaking out too when I realized she was in your head, but she's fine. Just still in a coma."

Bubbles tips his head one way as Purity Rambles her thoughts, then tips his head the other way being curious, it wasn't until she claps her paws together that his eyes widened with this new finding...

"Popsss?" Bubbles wiggles and gives it a try himself, he took his little feet and parked his neck to look down at them, he focused, his paws move together slowly and gently touched each other, he Frowned at that, so he try it again. Bubbles bump his paws together and then spread them apart, he stuck his tongue out from the side of his beak and focus hard and CLAPS!

With the pop sound of his own clap Bubbles jumped with alarm and excitement, he turned his wide eyes to Purity " ISSS POPSSS! " he wiggled his paws out to her " ITSSS POPSSS! POPSSS! "

Crimson was taken deep breaths as Eater explains what he knew " s-he ok? " he nodded his head // I-I didn't kill anyone else... //the red prince then wobbled over to the nearest wall and put his hands on the railing and placed his forehead against the wall // why the heck was she in my head?... // his mind went back to something Eater said // that right... she doesn't have a light Eater now so that means she isn't cursed anymore....is that why she still alive? And she happy? What the heck?...//

Catch step forward when the red prince leap at his friend but the situation changed just as fast as it started, he didn't have to be able to since Crimson emotions to know he was struggling with himself but being able to feel them gave the Dreamer prince a better understanding, he could feel the relief in knowing Purity was safe but there was also frustration, but was that because she was in his head or something else? He was both mad and thankful but one thing he could tell was that Crimson didn't want to hurt anyone... even though he acted cruel there was something about him that he didn't want to cross a line

Purity looks up when she hears Bubbles clap too, and she grins at him and his discovery. "You clapped!" she cheers, then claps her four paws together more, "Clap, clap, clap~"

"Yeah, I don't think you did anything to her," Dreameater explains, watching as Crimson wobbles back over to the wall. He then crosses his arms again, and turns his eyes back towards where he can sense Purity, peacefully sleeping in her bed... "... I guess the doctors are taking really good care of her. Hopefully she'll be able to wake up soon..." he sighs...

Then his eyes widen as Eater realizes something, and he does yet another quick 180. "Wait a minute!" he blurts out in surprise, throwing his hands down by his sides and clenching his fists, "NO I DON'T!! I hope she DIES!! I hope I get to EAT HER and TEAR HER INTO PIECES!!"

Morning Glory yelps out a "Woah!" as her Nightmare partner suddenly reaches up, grabs her, and shoves her in one of his pockets. Then, with her out of the way, Dreameater whips around and points at Catch. "AND DON'T YOU SAY ANYTHING EITHER!!" he threatens, his eyes dark with anger.

Both Prince's were relief in knowing that Purity was safe and doing well besides still being in a coma but the calm would quickly shifted when the Nightmare started on his threats and renting...

"Hay! Don't treat Glory like that! " the Dreamer prince glare back at the Nightmare, clearly upset by Eater acting and threats

" Yeah! She been though enough! " Anna back her friend and partner, turning a bright orange color

Catch didn't back down this time, he looked Eater in the eyes " and no you won't hurt Purity, I gave my word and I plan on keeping it! You won't even get a chance to hurt her!" Catch points at Eater and was about to say more but he stopped, a burning hate filled the room and his head turned to were it was coming from...

~[ song: Halsey - Control - Acoustic Piano Cover Karaoke/Sing Alone ]~

Crimson had his back to the Dreamer and Nightmare, though his face could not be seen his anger radiated off him " you touch her and you die..." the red prince spoke with a chilling calmest, he let go of the arm rail and slowly turn, he keeps his head tipped down so the shadows covered half his face...

Catch eyes glace to railing seen that Crimson had gripe the them so tight that he bent them...// oh Snap! He ticked off! Great job Eater! // the Dreamer prince stepped in front of the Nightmare " Crimson calm dow-!" he grunted getting shoved against wall, he barely had time to recover and see what the red prince was doing because he moved so quickly.
Crimson had Eater by his throat pined up against the wall, he held the Nightmare in place with one hand "...I will tell you something /Nightmare/" He sneered, looking Eater right in his eyes as he said coldly " If you kill her, I will do to you far worse than anything you do to her....death won't come to you quickly...I will take my time...I will make it slow...it may take months, it may take years....you will wish for death but death will not find you, no one will save you from me....I will hunt you down and there no place in all the realms you be able to hide from me Nightmare...I will find you and when I do, I will enjoy every moment of your agony, until I'm finally bored of torturing you...then I will kill you..." the red prince threaten sinisterly, there was something dark in Crimson slit eye, like a part of him want this to happen, that he was holding himself back right now.

"You think I care!?" Eater snaps back at Anna and Catch both, and just like Catch, he was about to say more before he could sense Crimson's change in emotions...

It was at this point, Eater knew he made a terrible mistake, and wished he took the stairs.

His eyes wide with horror, Dreameater watches for only a moment before Crimson comes up and pins him by his throat against the wall. "Hnng--!" Eater grunts, and while he looks like he wants to struggle, to resist, he ends up being too afraid to even try... //I'M SORRY! OH MOOONS!! I MADE A HORRIBLE MISTAKE!! I'M GOING TO DIE!!!// Eater mentally screams, his gut twisting into knots and chills running down his spine, as he stares at Crimson's eye with his own unusual eyes...

Dreamcatcher watch with wide eyes, shock by what he was witnessing, Crimson was like a complete different person, a darker side then he really remembered of the prince but that was because Catch never experienced the red prince at the beginning nor did he truly understand his past but this, this hate, his rage against Nightmares was terrifying and for some unspoken reasons a part of him knew Crimson could do every bit of what he threatened...

Anna squeak getting knocked off when her partner got pushed, she shook herself and flash her colors with her attitude " Hay! Now you leave him alone! It not just Eater in there!" she flew closer to the dragon shapeshifter

Crimson ignored the Fairfin, he held his glare and his grip on the Nightmare, that was until Catch grabbed his arm " please, let him go! You kill him you kill Weaver to! Eater not that stupid to attack Purity or he have done it already " the Dreamer prince begged

Crimson narrowed his eye, he could feel something come over him, wanting him to calm down and for a moment his grip loosened but it didn't last long the red prince didn't want to calm down "SO TELL ME WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT HIM?! HE A FREAKING NIGHTMARE! HE WILL KILL! IT'S HIS NATURE!!" with his rebellious fit Crimson tightened his grip again as he bear his teeth, this wasn't really about Eater any more, the red prince was Furious, Crimson had been trying his best to control his anger, but so much lately had been building up and with Eater stupid choices of words and it coming from a Nightmare was the last draw...all he wanted to do right now was take his rage out on Dreameater, if the Nightmare lived or not he definitely didn't care but maybe a small part of him did, it would explain why the red prince hadn't already killed him...

" because I do... you can't kill Eater because you will kill Weaver to, please just let him go " Catch begs again,he had a feeling he wouldn't be able to stop Crimson if he really wanted to kill Eater but he wasn't letting go or giving up.

Crimson held Eater for a moment longer, not even seeing Dreameater odd eyes was going to change his mind, he only seen a Nightmare. even after the elevator door opened up to there destination, his lip twitch he wanted to stay mad but he wasn't, it was slowly draining out of him which was frustrating the red prince...he finally let go of Eater but tuned on Dreamcatcher, taking the hand that held the Nightmare Crimson grab Catch by the arm he was holding him with and pulled the Dreamer even closer so he was looking him dead in the eye "... your friend is /dead/" his words were full of bitterness but his truth

Catch would be lying if he said he wasn't scared right now, looking the red prince in the eye, there was so much anger so much pain, that in a way he felt bad for him " no, he not Crimson, Weaver alive "

" please Crimson listen to him, he telling the truth! " Anna try to help her partner out to.

Crimson lip Curl and he shoved the Dreamer back as he spat " your a fool Dreamcatcher! You all are!" He the pointed at the Dreamer prince " but you then most! anyone who bets on you will always find a losing hand..." he tipped his head slightly as he continued " so tell me, why do You make promises you know you have no way in fulfilling?... you don't have bad luck in the game but foolish ambitions and dreams ... your nothing but a bad bet Dreamcatcher and everyone knows it, even you...its why if this Nightmare were to go on a Frenzy you /will/ be the first to die by him and you all know it..." The red prince then turned and glare at Eater with his last statement, he then headed out the door, ones he made some distance he started rubbing his bracelets that had been hurting.

Catch stood there for a moment and took a few shaken deep breaths, what the red prince said hit hard, he knew there was some truth in his words or at least he agreed to some of them...but this wasn't about him, the Dreamer prince walked over to his friend and offered a hand " you alright buddy?"he asked genuinely concerned

" that was like staring a lion in the face, are you sure letting him out was a good idea?" Anna spoke her mind as she kept an eye on Crimson from the doorway, she didn't trust him at all, exactly after this.

Crimson was storming around looking for some clothes or at least... " FOR MOONS SAKE CAN I GET SOME PANTS?! "

//I can't breathe...!!// Eater grimaces, still trying to fight the urge to struggle, but when Crimson tightens his grip even more on his throat, Eater can't help but try to pry his hands away from his neck. //I'M GOING TO DIE!! OH, I'M SO STUPID!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THIS!! I MADE SUCH A TERRIBLE MISTAKE!!!// he thinks, squeezing his eyes shut...

He gasps, chokes, and takes deep breaths once Crimson finally releases him and lets him fall to the ground. The Nightmare stays quiet, rubbing his throat through his scarf with one hand, before he finally looks back up at Catch, "... I--I'm really stupid..." he admits, taking the prince's hand and shakily standing up, "I should've known better, but you know when you get ticked and you say things you don't mean...? Ugh..." He looks Catch in the eye and shakes his hand. "... I'm lucky you came with me."

After that, Eater lets go of Catch's hand and carefully takes Glory out of his pocket again, gently setting her back on his shoulder where she was before, and then he peeks around the corner at Crimson.

"Weaver? Are you ok?" Glory worriedly asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine..." the Nightmare sighs, though he's still thinking on what Anna said, and he turns to look at her after a moment. "Well... Hey, you know, what better way to keep me under control than by scaring the living daylights out of me, right...? I'm not gonna do or say anything stupid now..." he tries to tease in a playful way, but he's still clearly afraid after what happened, and though he tries to hold a faint smirk as he says it, that quickly vanishes too as he looks back to Catch. "... H-hey, stay close to me out there, alright?"

" yeah, I say so" Catch agree with the Nightmare what he was stupid, he gave him a sympathetic smirk " no, I get it, I could tell you were upset and you spouted threats before, it still isn't good but I wasn't going to let you hurt her, you were just blowing steam "

Catch looked out the door to, keep an eye on the red prince as his friend talks with his Fairfin.

Rihanna frowned as she keep watch to " hum, I think he could have gone about it a different way...He didn't even question if Weaver alive, he was just being a jerk and he lucky I didn't kick his butt!" She huffed

Catch came up and patted the Nightmare on the shoulder " that what I promis-..." he cut himself off, Crimson words still stunn like Venom, he watch Crimson//.... is everything I promised just dreams?...// he glace at his friend// no, Weaver alive because I did something, and he still alive because he fighting Eater every moment for our sake...I'm not going to give up ether// a soft smile came to the Dreamer prince face " your my brother, I'm going to make sure nothing happens to you " he smile change to a nervous one as he adds " Eater, just don't do anything else stupid okay? "

-

The guards were following Crimson around which did seem to concern him, he had finally got something to bring him something and he when over to one of the curtain rooms.
" we should probably get going now, I think it good we give him some space but he is our responsibility now" Dreamcatcher committed but there was still something he wanted to ask the Nightmare even though he guessed the answer " ... your better at sensing then I am, did something feel off to you?...I mean his rage was something else, but I don't know...there was like something else he was given off... I never quit felt something like that except...." he pause, it did feel familiar, it was a odd since of fear

Dreameater smirks faintly when Catch reaffirms his promise, but he grimaces again when he tells him not to do anything else. "I won't, I won't..." he mumbles, loosely crossing his arms before thinking about Catch's last questions. "... I mean... I guess so? I was busy panicking myself, but Crimson's corruption is a weird one... I should talk to you about that at some point, too, but you're right, we should get going," he says, then slowly starts making his way out of the elevator. He goes to withdraw his chain as well, but then remembers why he had it out in the first place, and frowns as he holds the chicken out in front of himself. //... I don't feel like eating now, but I should still try to at least finish this,// he reluctantly thinks, then tries his best to quickly finish his meal.

" alright " Dreamcatcher made a thinking face wondering what it was about Crimson corruption he wanted to talk about.
He followed the Nightmare out and glace over at him eating his chicken// I really hope that helps hold Eater hunger off...its going to have to // he turned and headed over to were Crimson was, the red prince had himself hidden behind one of the curtains

Catch stopped not sure if he should poke the bear or not, he could tell Crimson was slowly cooling down but still wasn't in a good mood, he cleared his throat before asking" hay Crimson, you just about ready?"

" yeah " was the red prince blunt reply, he moved the curtains to reveal himself, Crimson had common everyday human clothes on, blue jeans and a white t-shirt and still no shoes " I really hate this world's clothes.... im pretty sure this isn't meant for shapeshifter..." he Mumble under his breath as he was tucking in his shirt that looked a little on the big size for him, however it wasn't the size that bug him but the fact he couldn't feel magic in the material...
Crimson then glare at the four and Frowned as he snapped " well, let's get going! "

(Ok!! Now that the RP is huge, that's all of what we had for them so far X'DD )

(That all!
I'm going to work on my other reply now~)

(WOO!!

The RP has been supersized! X"D

Oooooh, that was a really fun read, though! /Spooky, but fun./)

//I hope you don't plan on shape-shifting out there,// is Eater's thoughts on the matter, and he flinches when Crimson snaps. He quickly starts heading towards the exit afterwards, and doesn't say anything as he eats, but he does get an idea of something... The Nightmare gets out both of his shackled chains again, using one to take off his hat and hold it upside down while the other reaches into his pocket dimension. He pulls out an unopened chocolate bar with that chain and nervously holds it out towards Crimson, perhaps as a peace offering to the Blood Sapphire...

Boreas scanned their environment as their little group of three rode through the ravaged Tomahawk district. However, the echoing bangs of gun fire immediately took most of his attention. “True that!” The Captain agreed with Jason’s comments, following his turn towards the sound.

Upon passing the smashed cars and catching sight of the ogre-like beast, Boreas immediately started brainstorming ways to deal with the situation… But of course, he smirked at Jason’s comments about the ‘dream team.’ The icy Elemental listened intently to the orange-haired boy’s plan, keeping his own thoughts on the side for later. “I can roll with that!” He added on his agreement to the strategy. But there wasn’t much time for anything else—as a car was already flying their way. Within that split second, he saw Jason lean his weight and try to dodge on his motorcycle… Boreas knew he didn’t have the kind of experience with these things to do something like that. So, he opted for plan B—ditch the bike and jump over it.

The Elemental in disguise angled his bike, so on the off chance it did get through, it’d go straight at their target as another possible distraction. Then he took a leap off the moving vehicle, and used a bit of his own flight capabilities to boost himself over the flying car. When he was at the peak of his jump, he took aim and sent some of his quickly forming ice magic ahead of Jason and Crystal. He visualized a tall, curved, slope up into a wall that he hoped would take shape in time to help redirect them--and have enough height that they wouldn't just slide up and over it.

Without even bothering to reload his gun as the two gremlins rapidly approach him, Terradream quickly picks up the car door with his wing claws and swings it horizontally, slamming it into the two when they get close. He lets go of the car door when he does so, however, and turns his attention back to the car itself, and all the monsters trying to get in... Terra goes to aim his empty gun at the monster that's almost inside the vehicle with the hope of using his magic to make a bullet, like Osiris said, but he notices right away how shaky and unsteady his claws are, so he doesn't try to shoot, not with the risk of possibly missing... So, instead he hops over, grabs the gremlin that's three-fourths of the way in, and tries to drag it out of the vehicle with all his might before he does anything else.

Sparky quickly moves out of the way when the monster goes to swat at him, and he keeps out of the way when it at first seems like his plan was successful, but then he continues trying to avoid the gremlin's attacks once they figure it out. "Aw dude, you guys are smart!" he... compliments the gremlins, before flying down and picking up some shards of broken glass from the car's windows, and then valiantly chucking them at both the monsters. "Haha! Fear the very dangerous shiny hazards!!" he exclaims, still trying to be extra careful of being potentially hit. Though, his eyes do dart over towards Terra. He knows how he is... and he tries to encourage his partner through telepathy, //Keep it up Terra!! Stay focused and collected!//

But in Terra's mind, the weight of the situation is setting in. Even though he's shot and killed two of the gremlins, slammed two of them with a car door, and is now hoping to pull the one out of the car to quickly shoot it at point blank range, that's what, five out of fifteen? Two of those likely aren't even dead, and one he's still trying to get to, while so many others are trying to break into the car... This isn't taking into consideration the gremlin that was going to jump up on top of the car, and Terra isn't even aware of the two that split off to climb the building... Even when the man who was pulled out of the car finally recovers some from the shock and, to the best of his ability, punches one of the gremlins in the back of the head, even if these gremlins aren't that hard to deal with individually, there's so many of them here, that Terra is sure... If he even manages to save anyone of the members of this family, he won't be able to save them all...

//If only I had my magic... I could've dealt with all of these gremlins right away,// Terradream woefully thinks to himself, //If only I were alive, I'd be able to save them, but there's just too many for me to deal with one at a time... It's hopeless... I'm sorry...//

When all hope seem lost Terra would hear the sound of thunder, however it was really many hoofs upon the cement....

A party of 9 Vanguard was on their way, 3 in which were Ryders as the other 6 were in their true forms.

A silver javelin Wiz through the air, it hit with such force the it spit one of the monsters in two that was going for Terra, the Warrior who toss it partner was in a charging position aiming to impel the other monsters.

The Warrior with a bow took aim and fired her bow at the monsters trying to get into the car from the side she was approaching from, no sooner as she let one arrow fly other was summon and was sent after the next target, she swiftly change their position, looping her leg around her partner wing and then lend off the side of her, she fired her bow and the arrow sing though the air, it zipped though the open car door and though the vehicle missing the passengers inside but not its target trying to get in from the other side...the bow Warrior moved with grace and speed as her partner moved along the battlefield, it was clear that these two were the ones in charge.

The last rider was a sword and shield use, the two were equally as skilled.

The 3 without rider did their far share, just because they were in their true forms didn't mean that they were helpless they were draf horse size with a lot of power behind them.

The female Vaseterm with Aaliyah, Theo and Eira flip her tail, she was as ready as she would be to go out there again

Qui push her lips and sassy " know it all " she usually did her best to know the end and out of things but that was one that frustrated her from time to time was the Vaseterm air to them about knowing stuff.

She frowned when they took the stairs, and really was questioning his heath " the stairs from the top floor?" She shook her head and toss her hands up, it was frustrating but maybe taking the long way could help give Blue some more time to get bis barrings.

Qui followed after Blue and pointed at the bottle " by what it says, you should drink about a quarter now and take it again in an hour, Suzano said it should help ease the swelling in your head "

('Tis a rather quiet day today)

The two gremlins who Terra hit with the car door were still alive, and had been getting out from underneath the door to charge towards the ghost again.
The one who he started trying to drag out had struggled to hang on to the car... But something about a third the size of a human didn't stand much of a chance against something as big as a Venatavis--even if Terra was a ghost.

The two Sparky was throwing glass at made hissing sounds as they were hit--but one had still continued trying to break into the car, while the other grabbed up a sheet of plastic broken off of said vehicle, and had started trying to use it to catch the ghostly Fairfin.

A couple of the little monsters managed to get into the car, and were aiming to attack the family inside, while there had been yet another one who had gotten on top of the car and was about to take a running leap at Terra, too...

But just as the situation was getting out of hand, the Vanguard arrived, and the group of Vaseterm took care of most of them--inside and outside of the car. Even if the little monsters had seen or heard them coming, they wouldn't have had the time to make any new plans or escape. The people in the car would have been saved with relatively few injuries as well.

The only two monsters left were the ones who'd climbed the building... They had gotten into the second level of the partially destroyed building, and were now making a last-ditch effort to push loose a large chunk of the wall--they would send it down on the car and possibly whoever was around it.

('Tis indeed...)

( it is, im not sure were Fade, Blood and Galaxy are but I'm sure they pop in some time ^-^ )

It wasn't looking good for the two on the bike, but when ice quickly form, Jason didn't waste any time, he gun it, his motorcycle follow the curve getting corrected."WHOOOOO! " he cheered victoriously, he was know after all for crashing.

The ogre monsters roared, it turns it sites on the one using magic as he seen as the bigger threat for the moment, the monster beat his chest and then charged grabbing another car and chucked it at the biker man.
With the distraction Jason gun it towards the car barrier " im going to make a quick stop, ill leave it to you to get to the people over there, I'm going to back the Admiral" he slow down and come to a quick stop to let Crystal off

There was vehicles as a barricade between the girl and the building the people took refuted in, they were held up in a small store, they had the Windows blocked by various things and people were firing from the Rooftop.

" clapsss?" Bubbles repeat and then dose it again looking at his paws as he claps, his eyes were bright with wonder, he likely theses legs

(Hi there! Today is finals so I am a bit busy but I'll be here x) I'll try to get a reply in when I can!

Hope everyone's doing alright!)

(Hey Fade! Oh boy, best of luck with finals!
I'm sure you'll do great! X)

Yeah, I'm doing pretty good!
...Or doog, because my fingers appear to be drunk today.

I would ask how you're doing too--but you're also busy, so I'll just leave it here and... Yeah. X'D)

( HI Fade!! Oh boy! Finals on a Sunday? O.o that rough! Best of luck to you! :D

I'm doing pretty good, just tired, and the same o, same o)

Dreamcatcher reassured the guards that they had Crimson covered before following after his friend and the red prince, he did wonder what happened to Victoria but he didn't have time to ask.

Crimson was moving at a brisk pace, he was a man on a mission and was still kinda grumpy " WHAT?!" He snapped at the Nightmare only glancing but what caught his eye needed a better look, what Eater was offering him the red prince knew it as a bribe or at least that's how he was taking it " trying to bribe me? " he rises a suspicious eyebrow

" maybe it help with you grumpiness, is that why your in a mood? When was the last time you ate something?" Anna chime in laying on her belly on top of Catch head, she had her head resting in her paws

Crimson quickly shot the Fairfin a look "No! I'm not in a mood!" He snapped placing a hand on his chest, but as he seen the looks on those around him the red prince realized he was making a scene " I-.... whatever!..." he looked down and suffered his hands in his pockets as the keep walking, but it wouldn't be long before he glace to see if Eater was still holding the candy

The Mare gave a sympathetic look, she wasn't going to start scolding the girl, this wasn't the place or time, her fear was enough to prove she made a poor choice, now if only the Mare could get the filly out so it wouldn't be her last " I know dear, I can't use my magic here ether, there a spell that keeping us from using magic and only those Osiris gave special items are unaffected by the spell" she try her best to explain " we need you get you out of the spell and then you can use magic again "

Nora and her siblings and the other Vanguard had cleared out the monsters for now.
Nora wiped her paw on the roof of a car and nodded at the job well done, one of her head noticed her comrade on her knees and was curious so she hop down from the car and trotted over

When the bike shifted course and didn’t crash, Crystal had to kind of do a double take to really see what caused it. She felt grateful upon seeing the ice, making a mental note to give Boreas a good ‘thank you’ later, if they lived to do so.

As the monster roared and grabbed another car to throw, the girls eyes widened when she looked and saw said Elemental was the target. She was about to say something, but Jason beat her to it.

The second Crystal heard this upcoming stop was her opening to get off the motorcycle, she took it, quickly getting off once they were steady and removing her helmet. Her face was a little ghostly, between everything going on around them, and nearly crashing, it shook her up, but she glanced over at the building where the people were hiding and soon nodded to Jason. “O-okay, I’ll see what I can do..” she said, giving the boy one last look before darting over to the barricade of vehicles to look for a way through to the building.

(Hi Galaxy! How're you doing? :>)

(Hey Fluffy! I'm doing okay, about to finally go get some fooood~

Hope you guys are all doing alright too ^^)

(I'm finally back! I ended up taking longer this time because clothes shopping XD

I see Fade popped in! And Galaxy too! Hello, both of you! ^-^ )

(Yus! Food is goooooood!

Yeah! I'm doing pretty good. I gotta take the dog out again soon, though. XD)

(Glad to see you're doing okay at least, Galaxy~ :3 You enjoy your foooooood~)

(Oh and best of luck with those finals, Fade!!!)

Dreameater flinches again and pulls his chain back when Crimson shouts, and stops eating the last of his chicken, staring with wide eyes at the prince. He stays quiet when Anna and him go back and forth, and he still says nothing when he continues following the red prince, but he does slowly extend his chain with the chocolate towards Crimson when he looks back at him.

Glory lightly pats the Nightmare on his shoulder to try and help him relax, though he's not paying much attention to her.

(I LIVE! I took a little nap!

Hi everyone! X3
It good to see you Galaxy! )

//Anna! // Dreamcatcher frowned with what his Fairfin said, he was really hoping that she wouldn't set Crimson off again, he was relieved when the red prince started to mellow out
" just take it Crimson " Catch encouraged the shapeshifter and gave a nervous smile

Crimson glace over at the Dreamer prince when he said that and then over to Dreameater, he didn't say anything but held out his hand to take the chocolate

Boreas brought himself to a safe landing, but kept moving forward. He glanced to Jason and Crystal's safe arrival at the barricade out of the corner of his eye before keeping all his attention on the hulking beast in front of him. Seeing it lob another car his way, the icy Elemental kicked off and flew low to the ground, increasing his speed to zip right underneath it.
"Listen, I get you didn't like that--but is there really a reason to do something so 'auto-rocious?'" He commented--whether anyone heard it or not.

He suddenly slowed to a stop and dropped to the ground, just standing there and watching as the ogre quickly approached. Then he fired a couple of blasts of ice, aiming the first at one of the creature's arms (the primary car-lobbing one, preferably), then one at one of its legs...

Overall, he was aiming to keep its attention until his distraction comrade returned, while also testing the waters to see what the monster would do...

Terradream tried to ignore the thunderous hooves apporaching him until he got the gremlin out of the car and on the ground, where he quickly shot it in the head. He grimcaced, feeling the shot use his magic, which to him felt like recoil that sends a light tingly feeling through his hand, up his arm, and to his head. //I'm gonna need more of those bullets, or just come back to life soon,// he thinks to himself, knowing the cost of using his magic with the gun now. Then he looks up and sees the Vaseterm sweeping through the gremlin monsters, and he feels relieved seeing how the odds are now in his favor. Before he knows it, all the gremlins have been killed, and the family in the car has been saved.

And for a moment, Terra just stands there, looking around to make sure there can't be any gremlins left, and not realizing how shaky he is. //... Is... Is that it? That was over so fast...// he ponders, quickly going to reload his gun.

Sparky, alas, had been successfully caught by the gremlin, but with it dead now, he's on the ground with nothing to hold him down. He dramatically lifts the plastic over his head and declares, "YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME, VILE CREATURE! FOR I AM A GHOoooOooOOoooOOOOOoooST!!" ... And then he realizes what's going on. "Oh! Hello, Vaseterm people!" he then cheers, still holding his hands up in the air. After this, he flies over to Terra to try and help his partner out. "Hey Terra! I think we did it!"

"Is--Are there a-anymore?" Terra asks, looking between his Fairfin and the Vanguard, then looking around the buildings nearby in case any other monsters emerge or show themselves.

( I am thinking

Eira stopped what she was doing and stared at Aaliyah when the Vaseterm had responded to her negative comments with 'Don't sound so bleak.' It surprised her, and it made her reflect on herself for once. "I... guess I'm not going to improve anything with that attitude, am I?" she murmured, rubbing her arm awkwardly and managing an apologetic smile. She was going to make a proper apology when the monster screeches snapped her on alert. The shiftress gave Aaliyah a nod. "Distraction works fine. Let's get moving." Eira rushed over to the Vaseterm and gripped her mane, swinging up onto Aaliyah's back and holding on tight, preparing herself mentally for the next encounter.

( Hello Fade!! :D )

Rahab dipped his head in confirmation of what the male Vaseterm informed him. "They'd better move quick. Things will get worse before they get better," he muttered ominously with another glance to the dark clouds. The griffin gazed to the city below, eagle eyes investigating the situation below. He could see Vaseterm reinforcements and vehicles spreading out on the streets - reinforcements, finally. "Air forces next," he said with his fingers crossed.
Rahab swung around and darted towards a collection of shadowy winged monsters, barreling into the crowd and taking out two with his talons and claws.
