Crystal couldn’t help but wonder about how bad things were from Boreas’ single statement, but she kept her questions to herself for now.

After landing and being set down, she watched Jason walk their way and listened to what he had to say too. After the explanation, Crystal briefly looked to the group who would come along to help and gave a slight dip of her head to be polite.

The girl then turned to Boreas when he spoke to her about contacting Fairfins. “No, I’ve never tried before,” she started, “But I had planned on asking.. How do you do it?”

" gotcha " Jason replied with a nodded. He smirked catching on to what Crystal and Boreas were talking about " that Awesome! You're link with a Fairfin, that cool! That some good news exactly now that the radios to the Palace are down right now " Jason did what he tens to do and ramble
He called Edgar back to his bike and he headed over to it, after getting the little drone into place, he looked back at the small group that had formed but his eyes landed on Crystal, he still had concerns for her, a monster just try to kill her and Jason gusse it was more then her being a key hunter but if he leaned anything from his sister was don't judge a girl by their appearance, Crystal had already proved she was a tougher cookies and what she look like and he if he was in her shoes, he knew if they was something going after someone he care about he to would want to save them to " alright, let's load up and head out, we got a red prince to fine " he said, he gestured that Crystal could hop on his bike again or she could go with Boreas.

" we are ready to assist in any way we can " one of the Mares stated, there were two without riders if Boreas and Crystal both wanted a ride.

"It takes a lot of concentration. You have to focus your thoughts on talking with her. Without a Fairfin with us, you have to be the one to establish the connection." Boreas explained.

The Elemental raised an eyebrow when Jason mentioned that the Palace radios were down. //Something doesn't want us organizing our efforts.//

With Jason preparing to head out, Boreas approached one of the mares, "A ride would be great assistance, if you would." he asked in a polite, business-like manner. There was a lot that still needed to be spoken about, but they needed to get moving, first.

Fiona was just about as antsy as Rahab as they waited... Surprisingly, a little less outward about it, though. The internal back and forths of 'getting out there VS safety' were definitely coming back in, however. She smiled faintly at Eira's encouraging words, "...Yeah... This'll be worth it for our us, and other people too." There was still uncertainty, but she tried to remember to have faith in their group.

When the Vaseterm medic returned, she was relatively unphased by Rahab's impatience. "It will go quickest if you work with me." She responded simply, "Now, if you'll show me the area of injection..."
The medic started with extracting some of the poison from each of them--which wasn't the easiest at least for Fiona, as she'd been bitten on her nose... The Elemental squeezed her eyes shut and made an odd expression, having something pressed up against the injury and some of the poison sucked out. Then the Vaseterm would have injected each of them with the antidote, which Fiona also would have squeaked at when poked. It wouldn't cure them, but it was likely these things could both assist in keeping their symptoms under control until a true antidote could be made.

//...That was /weird./// Fiona thought, rubbing her nose a little.

Rahab twitched and grumbled thw whole way through the poison extraction, clearly not comfortable and wishing he could be on the move. But he still complied, knowing that doing so would probably make things quicker.

Eira waited on them patiently, but she couldn't help but feel a nervousness rising up, and she kept casting glances back at the exit. //I really hope everything is going okay... I don't feel great, and it's making me worry more for everyone...//
She glanced to the nurse as she finished the extractions and antidoting. "Is that all we're needed for?" she queried, checking if there was anything else before they'd all rush off.

Dreamcatcher had been peeking from behind his pillar, seen Eater fog for the first time and how he mercilessly tore into the bird and killed it, it all was a terrifying reminder that Dreameater was indeed a Nightmare...The hair rises on the back of Catch neck and his very spine felt like it was crawling, seen Eater like this was frightening for anyone, especially a Dreamer but even the Nightmare he experienced told him to run, flee, for this was something to powerful to go up against.

The dark moon blood duck behind his hiding place with the explosion and intense Heat, he had reached up and grabbed Anna to Shield her // it's getting really hot in here... // he wasn't sure how much he could actually tolerate he knew it was a lot more in this form but really didn't want to test it out ether, but most of all he worried about Rihanna, he might be able to take the heat in his dark form but Anna, Ann couldn't, this thoughts went back to the forest fire he almost lost her in and Catch wasn't going to let that happen again.

Catch looked for a way out, it was getting harder to make out things with the smoke and fire that was going wild but he could make out a door across the way, he just had to get there and hope it wasn't a dead end... // Anna hold on, I'm going to make a ran for it, we can't go up against Eater here, we'll both die and I won't let that happen//

// Alright, I'll keep an eye on him for you // Anna replied back

Catch didn't waste any time and got in a running position, the world seem to stop as he focus on his breathing, he needed to go fast, Eater was in his true form as he himself was not, 4 legs always beat 2 and though he was fast, in this form he wasn't as fast, he had big wings and thicker armor that slowed him down, he glace at his right hand, should he even consider shifting to his true form? What choices did he have?

// here we go!//Dreamcatcher bolted for the door, in mid run he shifted with a cloud of darkness to his true form, his front leg instantly stung but he had to push though it, in an instant he was to the door but he didn't stop, Catch tucked his head and ram the door with his left shoulder, the door smashed apart, be he didn't stop running

An unearthly roar followed by the sound of chains echoes from behind Catch as Dreameater leaps off of the bird and chases after him, having the alluring taste of his brother's fear filling his senses and driving his frenzy even more. His chains he has stretched before him as if to reach out and grab Catch, the dark fog pours out of his chest as he charges full speed after the prince, and a hiss escapes his chest as he readies himself to blast his prey with fire...

Morning Glory scoots back out of the way again so Crimson can keep going, and lightly pats his cheek again to try and comfort him. When Boreas gets back to her again, she quickly replies back with, //Thank you, please hurry...//
After this, she notices how Crimson slows to a stop and how he's coughing pretty bad. "Y-you're gonna be ok..." she mutters to him quietly, but then she also notices what Crimson is looking at, the shade in the distance, and the red king's reaction to it too... "... N... No, Crimson, please! Not again, please, please don't do any of that evil magic again, I don't want you to lose yourself again! Please!!" she starts to beg and cry once more.

Crimson was having a staring contest with the shade, Glory's pleading help hold the voice of reason in his mind, that he didn't want to fall into that trap again, though he didn't remember fully what happened, using dark magic would only lead to worse things.

unlike Crimson, the Shade hadn't moved because it was frightened, but seen the red monster hadn't moved, the Shade stepped backwards before turning tail and running.
The red king stood there for a moment, trying to collect himself, his very body seem to lash out with his choice, he was hungry, he wanted power! Crimson placed a hand to his forehead and screamed with frustration and then continued to cough. The red king felt even more sick as if his body was trying to punish him.

Crimson placed his arm across his stomach, as he went back to holding himself with his other against the wall, he didn't say anything as he stumbled into the closet Alleyway from there he immediately undid his helmet, it hiss stabilizing the pressure, he didn't care, he dropped his helmet and fell to his knees as he vomited... it was not like humans vomited, this was what Crystalgem dragons do

This actually wasn't a bad thing, not in same ways, because what he was throwing up what's a concentrated dark magic his body had absorbed and hadn't changed into energy yet, he still had some in his system that was changed into energy but at least now he got some of it out.

(Ok, I think that's all the reposts, let me know if I missed anyone! :3

I think it'll be a slow day today though, and that's alright~)

(Hello!

I’m gonna go ahead and post my reply just in case I get busy later~)

“Okay, I’ll try to give it my best go and see if I can talk to her too once we get going,” Crystal replied after listening to Boreas explain.

When Jason called out that they should start moving, she looked over and nodded her agreement. And because it was something she was at least a little familiar with, Crystal took his offer too, walking over and taking up the seat space behind him on the bike again.

(HELLO!! sorry I am very late but I am home now ^-^

Hi Lilly and Galaxy and Fluffy and Fade! :D )

Light from windows was at the end of a hallway that was lined with doors, Dreamcatcher didn't even bother to think to check any of these because he didn't want to find himself in a smaller room with a Nightmare out for blood so that only left the window but could they make it in time?

The hallway didn't give enough room for the dark moon blood to use his wings as a boost of speed, if anything they were in the way, on top of that his right front leg was in pain and he wasn't sure how much longer he be able to keep running on it like this. Then there was just what he knew Eater could do, he had all 4 legs and the reach of his chains and any Shadow hunter would know the sound of a Pyro charging up for shoot just like what was going on behind him... it wasn't looking good for Catch and Anna but maybe if they could make it outside they could have a chance.

// Anna! Get to my back and take a shot at Eater, we need to slow him down! But I need you to get to my chest after, I'm going to make a jump out the window!// Catch tells his partner, as he runs down the hall a spot on his back between his shoulder blades glowed with a ring, from the glow formed a Twisted looking Mini Ballista, just like the other things Catch summon in this form it was a mixture of light and darkness but nonetheless it was still similar to what made back in school, Catch just never thought he have to use it against his own brother...

Rihanna didn't waste any time she got into Position, usually light shards were suspended around the Ballista but they were dark now. She didn't pay that any attention, Anna put her paws around the handles and ready the traeger's as she focused her own magic the shards started to glow and gain a bit of light into them, in the couch a bolt formed of blueish light, when she seen the Nightmare bust though the door she let out a Battle Cry and fired!

The Fairfin bolt shot out and followed behind it was the 4 shards, Anna didn't even keep watch, she did what her partner said and quickly made her way to the front of him. It was good timing as Catch just made it to the window, in full run he jumped and shifted back to his human, he grabbed Rihanna and talked into a ball as he crashed through the window, from there he let gravity take him for a second before opening his wings and giving them a powerful pump to get as much distance from the window as he could

(Hey there, Shadow! :D)

( HI Galaxy! :D

It good to see you! How you doing? :3 )

(Good to see you too!

This week was kinda busy again, but its all good stuff for the most part ^^

How are you?)

(Halloooooo, Shadow, Galaxy, and Lilly! I'm finally here! Glad to hear that even though things have been busy, you've had a lot of good stuff this week, Galaxy! ^v^

And eeee, Anna! It's great to see her on another cover!)

"There's one more thing..." The nurse answered Eira's question, quickly picking up a wet, disinfected cloth, cleaning their wounds, and lastly bandaging them up. "That's all. Do be cautious out there. We'll study the toxins and get back to you with treatments when we can."

"Thanks a bunch for the help!" Fiona quickly said as the nurse gathered up her equipment to rush off again. Once the Vaseterm had left, the Elemental looked to Eira and Rahab.
"...Okay, now we can get moving." Although she may have tried to hide it, her own anxiousness was reflected in her tone as she looked between her two teammates, "Let's get out there and find Crimson and the others!"

( that good that it was all good stuff Galaxy ^-^ busy week can be crazy but good ones are pretty good x3

I passed out ":D
It's been pretty crazy over here to with work and life, I haven't been able to get good sleep the past few days but am trying to do the best I can ^-^ Lilly convinced me to take a day off of both my jobs so Wednesday I'll be having a true day off x3
But other then been busy I'm looking forward to RPing now that I'm awake xD )

( HI Fluffy!! It's good to see you to!! :D )

Jason nodded his head and helped the human girl get in her set behind him, like he had before.
The Orange hair boy then looked over at Boreas and the Vanguard " alright! Let's go save a prince!" He fired up his motorcycle and then started off, heading in the Direction Christina had mentioned something bad was at.

The Vanguard had waited for Boreas to get on one of them, as soon as Jason gave the word the lady's were off following behind him.

(I'm finally here for real now too! Good to see you Galaxy, good to hear you're doing good! ^-^

And hey Fluffy and Shadow both! :3

Glad to hear you are actually taking Wednesday off, that makes me happy, you really need it Shadow <3

I'll get working on my posts now!)

Dreameater lets out a shriek as the shot from Anna explodes into light, momentarily blinding him, and then the shards form a tripwire and cause him to stumble. Of course, even with needing to snap the tripwire, it only slows him down enough for Catch to get out the window and get a little bit of distance, because he doesn't need his eyes to follow life auras... It isn't long before Dreameater likewise plows through the window, leaping as far as he can while still reaching out to grab Catch out of the air.

Glory had stayed in her spot in Crimson's helmet while he took it off and dropped it, but she quickly pokes her head up over the edge to see what he's doing. "Ohh..." she whispers, seeing the state the red king is in, and weakly flutters over to land on his shoulder. "Breathe, Crimson... Maybe you can take a moment to breathe, I'll... I'll keep an eye out, I'll watch your back..." she sweetly tells him, rubbing his shoulder gently before turning her head up to look above and behind Crimson. She notices a couple of the evil-looking birds from earlier, although they're not flying in from the direction she and Crimson both just came from, they seem to be flying in from elsewhere... Either way, the little Forgotten puffs up what fur she still has at them. //I... I don't like those birds, those things that Crimson can't see...//

//Well, this is something I've never done before... But energy conservation is key.// Boreas thought to himself, making sure he wouldn't just fall off once they started moving. He kept a keen eye out as they started the journey, watching for anything suspicious... As well as eyeing the odd birds in the sky, most of whom were heading in the same direction...

The icy Elemental lifted his hand to his earpiece, "Hey, Commander Carrot-top, strange weather we're having, hm?" He referred to the birds.
"...Should also mention, I was told your hunch about Scarlet was right. And she's not alone. But Crimson's running from them."

(WHAT DOES IT MEAAAAANNNN??)

(*Takes T and chucks it at the window*)

(eue)

Time

Now that they were on the move, Crystal did as she said she would and tried to get through to Glory. She didn’t know what she should say, but she did want to reassure that help was coming..

Watching the surroundings as they went by, she tried her best to calm her thoughts and focus solely on mentally connecting and talking to the little forgotten, and after a moment she attempted it. //Glory.. Hello? It’s Crystal..// She started, hoping she was doing this right, //I wanted to let you know we’re on our way to you now.. And we have a little bit of backup too.//

(I still love Crystal, she's so sweet X3 )

(Me too! X3)

Even though Dreamcatcher had a fear of falling, right now he was more afraid of Dreameater killing him and Anna.
The window he jumped from was only a few stories high,The dark moons blood didn't have a lot of time to adjust to everything going on, how high the window was or the fact he could try to fly, though Catch hadn't actually fly before, he glided and fell but hadn't try to gain altitude before but he had gotten pretty good at crashing.
Catch made it a bit farther out, he tucked into a roll when he hit the ground and got back on his feet to start running // Anna! Get up out of his reach!// he told his partner as he let her go but he let out a surprise Yelp when something grabbed him. Catch flap his wings and thrashed to try and get away, he needed to get away or Eater would catch up to him in no time

Rage the Forsaken Lord seized the odd looking Nightmare by the back of his neck. He held white haired Nightmare in front of him " huh? You have wings but your not Revenge " Rage made a puzzled look " you not quite like the white haired wing clown ether..."

"HAY YOU LET HIM GO! " Rihanna shouted at the tall man and buzz

( when you think you're post is a lot bigger but it's not ':D
Sorry that took so long, had some family stuff going on
I should be mostly free now * knock on wood* )

(That's quite alright Shadow! :3 )

The freakish sounds of a Nightmare's roar ring out as Dreameater doesn't slow down in his pursuit. He's choking on some of his fire that he had been preparing to unleash, but was hit before he could fully shoot it at his target, but he doesn't even seem to care. Sure, Catch has some extra distance and earlier slowed down the Nightmare for a brief moment, but Dreameater's not going to sit there while his prey is being held by some other creature... If anything, it only spurs him on more, he doesn't care about nor recognize the thing that has Catch pinned...

After getting what would come up out of him Crimson just nodded and took deep shaking breaths, he was still hunched over and looking down at his vomit, it was a pitch black substance that boiled like hot water, the pungent smell wreaked but the longer the red king stared at it his body ached, craving the dark magic however when the thought creep in his mind that he should absorb it again or even go as far as eating it, Crimson shook his head and forced himself to get up, he needed to think on other things, so he did just that...

The red king then stumbled further into the alleyway, darkness was more comforting to him in the past and right now Crimson wasn't feeling well, he felt awful and scared but unlike the past he didn't feel alone, he had Glory with him and somewhere he knew Crystal was out there, he just hoped she was alright, that his vision wasn't true, that she and the others were dead or turned into monsters.

" h-ow far is the closest person... your linked to?..." Crimson asked struggling between breaths, he spotted what he was looking for, though it wasn't exactly idea, but it would work in the field... amongst the things in the alleyway like trash cans was a bowl someone had left out for Stray animals, the bowl had collected Rainwater and looked fairly clean.

Crimson placed a hand on the wall as he let himself drop down to his knees again, everything felt like it took more effort but this was something Crimson knew he needed to do, he reached up and carefully picked the little forgotten off his shoulder and held her in his hands "... she did get on you..." he Mumble as his lip twitch a little.

The red king doesn't say more and takes one hand and dips it in the water and bring it to the Forgotten and poor it over her, he then does his best to try and get off the remains of the blood sword, this is what he wanted to do, it was what a friend would do right? He felt it would be something Crystal would do.as he scrubbed Glory Crimson whispered ".... im sorry..."

Jason looks up seen the birds flying over head, he answers back " Yo! That a lot of birds going towards the danger zone, I'm not no expert but experience has taught me evil things are drawn to evil things, no way those are normal birds "

// I got a bad feeling about this // the orange hair boy thinks, this whole thing with Crimson wasn't feeling right and knowing Scarlett is in fact involved only made his suspicions more " we should be ready for anything, Scarlett Is one of Sol cursed weapons and he got plenty of evil Goons to do his dirty work " he said knowing that everyone should already know this but he just wanted them to be ready.

Morning Glory glances down and goes to rub Crimson's shoulder again when he speaks up, but she stops when she loosely picks up on Crystal's call. //Crystal? Is that...// she starts to reply, perking her ears and antenna up to try to catch the rest of the message better, and then she smiles faintly. //Oh, I'm so glad, thank you so much Crystal, Crimson--he's really sick, he needs help so bad, we got away from the monsters and he needs a moment to breathe, but we both need to hurry... The... the evil things, they'll come to find him, I'm sure of it...! But... But I'll stay with him, I'll do my best to help him, I will...//

She gets slightly sidetracked when she remembers that Crimson also asked her something, and she holds on tight to his shoulder while he gets up and moves around. "Fiona's still rather close... Captain Boreas and Crystal are on their way... I just got a call back from Crystal, she says they're on their way, and... and she has some back up too...!"

Glory makes a cute, but weak, little squeak when Crimson picks her up, but she doesn't resist. "'She...?'" Glory quietly repeats, losing her small smile, but she doesn't say more when Crimson starts to bathe her. She rubs against his hand, then hugs his fingers when he apologizes. "... I'm just scared for you... I don't want to lose you... I don't want to lose anyone else, even... even if you're not Weaver... I don't want to see anyone else suffer like he is... You're a nice person deep down... you know that...? ... And I don't want to lose you..."

Boreas listened to Jason through his earpiece, still scanning the area around them as he spoke. The strangest thing was, the streets that were previously filled with the sounds and tension of monsterous warfare were now rather silent. There were no signs of any of the previous shadow monsters they had been fighting anywhere...

"Ready for anything is right... There's something awfully suspicious about all of this." The Captain mumbled back, "What about your news?"

The quickest thing that comes to Terra's mind to use as a weapon is the gun he put back in his pocket--not to shoot the bird, no, this time he takes it back out and slams it over the bird's head as it tries to flee from Sparky. He grimaces after that, the black blood on the gun finalizing that his and Sparky's suspicions were correct, but that doesn't help much. "... Ugh..." he quietly mutters, squinting at the bird for a moment and hoping it's dead before glancing around for something to wipe off the gun.

"... You did what you needed to," Sparky tries to encourage his partner some, hopping away from the dead bird now.

"I know..." Terra mutters again, testing to see if he can wipe the gun on the edge of his ghostly jacket. Since the material isn't truly physical, the blood doesn't stick, and the jacket more or less pushes it off of the gun.

Sparky watches Terra for a moment, then asks, "How about we try to go after that one that got away now? Try to find where it went? It sure seemed like it was in a hurry to get somewhere."

Terradream glances at Sparky and nods his head. "Yeah, it did... I doubt we'll find anything, birds don't really leave trails, but I guess..." he stops himself abruptly--he was going to say there's nothing left for him here, but... "... Wh-where do you think Fiona and Alex are? I-I haven't seen them yet... I h-haven't seen anyone yet..." he says, his tone and voice carrying his worry.

Sparky frowns at first, but still tries to keep optimistic. "I know, I know, it's a huge city, they could be anywhere, but I'm sure they're at least together. We can keep an eye out for them too as we follow the bird, right? ... If you wanna go get your stuff, I can make sure this bird is dead for good?"

Terradream gives another nod, puts the gun carefully back in his pocket, and rubs his arms before he turns to leave. He's mentally arguing with himself something fierce... //... I... I can't worry about them right now... A steady mind makes for a steady aim... But... But I can't just act like everything's fine, they both could be out there with countless monsters...! They could be dead! Or something could've happened again--Fiona's corruption could be taking over her...! ... No, but, I need to focus, I need to focus, I... I have to just pretend that everything's fine... I have to... No, I can't, that's stupid and delusional...! But I can't be panicking either, I /have/ to be calm... I wish we could've at least gone together... I... I wish I had even considered trying to link her up with Sparky... Why haven't I thought of that until now...? Now, it's... It's too late...//

(... I need to stop neglecting working on my green bean.

Also, Shadow's gone off to bed, so I'm thinking this is where we call it a night 'XD Hopefully next time will be better, though this was still fun! Although although, we'll have to cancel the next RP next weekend because Shadow has to work, unless we come up with other plans. Me or her will be sure to let you guys know what the plans are and if any changes are made :3 )

(Yus. You made a very good, but very oof post. ;w;

Alrighty! That sounds like a plan!

Goodnight everyone! It's been fun!)
