Eira looked at Fiona and gave a nod of thanks, and put a hand on the Elemental's arm for a moment. "O-Okay, let's go...!"

Rahab didn't need to be told twice. He lurched forward, kicking as hard as he could to launch himself into the air and start flying up. There was the constant nervewracking anticipation of something attacking his heels as they fled, but he couldn't spare a glance to see if it'd happen because he was focused on navigating over the nearby buildings.

Terradream just sits there and holds on as Rahab takes off. As it is right now, he's the only one making sure Crimson doesn't fall off of Rahab's back, which becomes slightly more noticeable to him as they're going through the air. It's already hard enough with his hands still being fuzzy and numb, but to hold on to the red king a little better, he stretches one of his ribbons out of his sleeve to wrap around Crimson too. Unfortunately, as long as Terra is holding on to Crimson, that armor is practically eating his magic, and while it is hurting Terra, he's still too shaken by everything to react much right off the bat, aside from a rather painful grimace...

But Sparky (who's been trying his best to fly alongside Terra and Rahab both) notices how Terra's hands, even arms now have a bit of red static around them, and how he can almost visibly see the light draining from his form... At the same time, making Eira and especially Fiona panic even more, or causing a bigger scene on Rahab's back, isn't a very nice thought either. Sure, Sparky isn't even fully sure what's happening to Terra either, but it looks like his magic is draining to /somewhere,/ and Crimson already has some kind of really freaky armor that he's never seen before... "Yo, Eira, Fiona, could either of you help keep a hold of our red friend? Make sure he doesn't fall off?" Sparky asks, flying over Terra's shoulder briefly to see them, still keeping his rather fierce orangey color despite his rather calm tone of voice.

Glory makes a sad little noise when she hears Crimson's quiet remark, and she in turn quietly tries to tell him, "Not your dad, Crimson... Your friends... I know, you must feel really sick, but it'll be ok... You'll be ok..."

The red king had been feeling sick and he was to a point that the pain was just num now, like he was use to it or to tried to feel things right anymore, he broke his staring at the Griffin to look at the Fairfin he was holding, he knew the Griffin wasn't his dad but he couldn't remember him as a friend ether, he looked to the other figures now, the Raven hair, he knew her didn't he? Or someone with long black hair, there was something troubling about her wasn't there? She needed help finding her brother? after starting for a moment trying to remember he then moved on to looked at the brunette woman, she didn't look familiar at all but there was something about her that keep his gaze a little longer, did he know her? But who was she? The red king couldn't place her so he moved on for now, rolling his head he spotted a ghost, he blink a few times at that, it had to be his vision, which now that he questioned it, it still wasn't right, then again nothing was.

Crimson suddenly choked and wheezed, he had been pulling magic from Terra and didn't realize it, his body was Starving and desperate for magic and the ghost was almost like Pure magic, but the kind of magic clashed with the toxins of the dark magic still in his system, but the other reason why The red king was reacting that way was even though his body needed magic, Crimson himself refused to feed off of people so he was also trying to subconsciously reject it, but overall he was just feeling more sick.

The ice wall erupted in a magic substance similar to Black acid, burning and rapidly decomposing all that it touched... the Seeker slid Forward and lower its head, the fins alone its back began to give off a Eerie glow...

Not everyone in the group would see the on coming attack, it wouldn't be coming from directly from the monster but from traps the Seeker place in advance, activated with his call repulsive tumors place in idea locations on structures open up to into turrets that shot dark magic at the group trying to get away, at least the Seeker wasn't trying to shot to kill, no, he was ordered to keep this group alive
But not only were the group being fired at but also the black birds took flight and now was going after the Griffin and his passengers

Fiona nearly didn't grab onto Rahab in time as he leaped into the air. However, thanks to a reflexive response to Eira placing a hand on her arm, the Elemental grabbed onto the griffin shiftress as well, which resulted in the two of them ensuring that neither was knocked off.

She anxiously checked the ice wall as they left. After blinking hard a few times, she turned her attention to the others, /really/ wanting to ask if Eira and everyone else was okay. Though, before she could, Sparky gave his request.

The Elemental was quick to respond, "RIGHT! Of course!!" She immediately reached out and grabbed hold of the red king with one hand. Everything was moving so fast, she couldn't even comprehend the fact that Terra was holding on too--even less what was happening to his arms...

...But things still weren't done happening, as now things started being shot at them, and the black birds started following them. Fiona had been trying to pay more attention to Crimson and the group at the time, until in the corner of her eye she saw something very dark blasting uncomfortably close by them.
"AH!! WE'RE BEING SHOT AT!!" She shouted a warning, instinctively wanting to whip out her sword, but she had to force herself to stop and think... That wouldn't help much with keeping Crimson on board...

" it's a trap " Jason blurted out with a hand to his chinn, he then took that hand and gested forward snapping his fingers as he declares " or Dudes! it's a trap, trap! One of those were you all know it's a trap but by knowing you already have fallen into the trap! " his enthusiasm quickly fadeds with what and he stands holding his pointer finger " dude, that means we already been Bamboozled... unless if that's what her real plan is, for us to think that" he goes back to holding his chinn and doing a big think face " dude, getting in the mind of a villain is hard "

Edgar made some beeping noises and bobb as Jason did his big thinking. The little drone mimicked his movements with its tiny robotic limbs.

The Orange hair shapeshifter look over at Crystal, it really looked like one way was the only way they could go " Scarlett one of Soledormir cursed weapons we don't know a whole lot about her, just that the few records we have she's known as bloodlust Scarlet and the blade that Legend says can cut through anything, she blood bound to C man and with what I can tell of you and him, your the one who she go after " Jason felt he didn't need to bring up that Sol had already try to have Crystal killed earlier, he was just letting everyone know what little he knew about the foe they were likely to face.

The light from the sparkle misst help light the room to the clothing shop, the power must had gone out or somebody turned it off... clothing of all colors were scattered everywhere and shelves toppled over, with the casting of lights mannequins and there shadows could become easy jump scares, which got Edgar at least ones, he didn't stray too far from the group after that. Banners hung from the ceiling, Sinister marking your written on them in blood and a light flicker off in the back of the room, and other writings we're on the wall with the Same disturbing way, this place would make a easy place for a trap.

To add on to the Sinister atmosphere a sudden dripping sound coming from deeper in the room

Crystal looked to Boreas when he spoke, and she had to agree that it was a little odd that they ended up finding Scarlet’s blood of all things.

She then shifted her gaze over at Jason as he piped in and talked. The girl thought about the mind of villains for a moment as well.. To her they all seemed to want the same thing, to gain more than they deserve and ruin lives. But that was the big picture. As for what they were facing now, she had no idea what to expect, just that it probably wouldn’t be pleasant.

While she listened, Crystal looked down when Jason mentioned she was most likely the swords main target.. She thought back to earlier when she said she’d willingly be bait for Scarlet, and now here they were, in the worst most perfect situation to be just that. “..Whatever is going to happen will happen, and either way it seems like you two are right that there’s no way around it.”

Crystal turned back to the disturbing shop, obviously forcing this next part out, “We have to face it.. Just, while being really careful..”

Boreas nodded his head in agreement with Jason's comments about getting into a villain's mind. He never liked that part of the job.
Then he listened as the orange haired boy continued to explain what he knew.
Lastly, he turned his attention to the human girl as she spoke very courageously about the whole situation. "We'll keep you guarded and work with what we know. I doubt any of us are new to improvisation." The icy Elemental muttered, a lighthearted hint to his tone. He didn't even like what they were walking into... But he wanted to give some form of encouragement with the dire circumstance.

He knew he had some information of his own to add as well, "I may be Captain Obvious, but we should watch for sentient blood puddles... That would be her.
...More obvious than that, stay sanitary around the blood. I know ice works against her as well, so keep your cool."

After unsuccessfully checking one more time for any other options where they could go, Boreas took up the mantle of leading the charge. He cautiously stepped into the ransacked clothing store. Watching his footing, he pushing away some of the ripped cloth on the floor as he went. Then he moved the mist around the room further ahead, checking for webs...
Which soon revealed that the entire room was surrounded by the threads--strewn through the windows and walls.
//...If I didn't know any better, I'd say this was set up as an arena...//

The Vanguard mares followed, hanging more towards the back of the group, but keeping watchful eyes over their surroundings and what was ahead.

The Nightmare breathes out a loud, frustrated sigh before Catch goes to wipe his face again, and this time, he doesn't move. For a moment, he sits there quietly, trying his hardest to think... but he does start to feel something else. Not just Catch's familiar feelings of friendship, or even the traces of pain that he's feeling seeing Weaver like this, but something more sinister, something evil... Whatever it is he's feeling, he doesn't like it in the slightest, and it shows in his expression, and in his tiny spines that start to grind against each other without him realizing it. "Mmmm... Catch, not Catch..." he growls quietly, but he seems to ease up a bit when Catch also perks up.

Then, it's right back to listening to what Catch says, and trying really hard to think on what words he's saying. Thankfully for Weaver, Catch is already doing more to repeat himself, and then he demonstrates shapeshifting, that helps him a lot. "Hu... Man..." he quietly tries to repeat it out loud himself, "Humaan... Fooorm, human form... Shift...? ... Have... Human form, I have..."

Shortly after saying that, the Nightmare shapeshifts to his human form, lying there on his belly with his head turned to the side to face Catch. In the state he's in, he's not suppressing his darkness at all, leaving poor Dreamweaver in a rather disfigured look, with claws and an armored chest with vents and openings in it, the skin on his face paler than a sheet, with black veins spread across it... At the very least, his mouth isn't ripped open, as he isn't trying to eat anyone, but it looks like it wouldn't take much for it to rip, with how chapped and flaky his lips and the skin around it appears...

Weaver can't see his own face, though, and right now he tries to lift his head up to look at Catch, like he had been in his true form. Granted, that's much, much harder now than it was before, and Weaver realizes that too, blowing a raspberry before dropping his head down. But! He did a thing, and he thought some more, so he did something good, right? His lips peel back in an eerily toothy grin as he tries to roll onto his back, where he looks at his friend and declares, "Brother, I'm human form!"

Dreamcatcher nodded his head and repeated with a warm smile" yes, a human form " he then watched as his friend shifted forms, it was then the dark moon blood Realized that ether how much the Nightmare had been suppressing his nightmarish form as a human or that the Frenzy made his appearance worse, maybe it was both? But Catch did his best to not grimaced or show his sorrow, he needed to keep focused on the positive, which Weaver helped with that by him doing his best at being himself

" that you are! " Catch went to give his brother a ribbon fist bump and rise his chain " oh... I forgot about that..." he didn't want that to damper the mood so he took his hoof and lightly bump Weaver hand with it " Great job brother! "
[.... that one thing I never understood, why a human? The weakness species in all the realms... there nothing special about them except their fantasy about themselves being special so why do so many species mimic them? Lower themselves to a lesser level ]

Anna was finally able to land on her partner, she sat on top of his head, when Catch rise his chain she knew how much that bug him and she could tell her was trying to push that aside and keep things light hearted, she patted Catch to encourage him, she then followed and support Weaver by clapping " YAY! you did it Weaver! " The Fairfin noticed her partner getting distracted again and she patted his head again " I wish we knew how it worked to shift you back to red again, Eira got you to do it a few times, I just wished we knew what it was so you wouldn't have to deal with Cataclysm any more"

[ THAT CAN ONLY SILENCE ME FOR SO LONG! BUT IM STILL HERE CATCHER! I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE! IN YOUR MIND, DEVOURING YOUR HEART AND POISONING YOUR SOUL, YOU ALL THINK JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HEAR ME THAT I SIT AND DO NOTHING! NO CATCHER, IM NOT LIKE YOU! IM NOT SOME STUPID DAMSEL WHO GETS LOCK UP AND JUST WAITS FOR OTHERS! ] the red Nightmare yelled, he then just as quickly shifted back to his more creepy way he had been speaking earlier [...no...no, I have been thinking, a lot of it, something that you lack...but you have given me time and I have learned a lot..so I should thank you for being completely oblivious ]

Dreamcatcher flinched and hiss, he placed a Chain to his head like he would have his hand/ ribbon, the red Nightmare yelling hurt his head, even after Cataclysm tone down his voice his ears still felt like they were ringing.

Weaver lies there on the ground as Catch bumps his hand with his hoof. His grin fades ever so slightly when he can feel something colder and unpleasant from his friend's emotions, but he tries to smile again while Catch is trying to be optimistic. "Brother Catch, great," he says, taking a moment to flex his fingers on the hand that Dreamcatcher bumped. He feels like there's something he could do, or wants to do with his hand... but when he holds his hand up in front of himself to try and think a bit more, he gets distracted when he sees his disfigured claws...

After a moment though of trying to make a thumbs-up with his hand, he can feel more of the sinister presence from Catch radiating anger and malice, and he immediately grimaces. "Catch..." Weaver growls, now trying to get himself off his back, grabbing on to Catch's front leg that's closest to him and trying to pull himself up. He wobbles a little bit, but he's too determined to let that sway him much, as he partially puts his weight on his friend. "Catch, Catch, I'm Weaver," he says, anger carried in his own tone as he pats Dreamcatcher's shoulder and tries to look up at him, "I'm Weaver, you're Catch, not..."

The Nightmare has to pause for a moment, squeezing his eyes shut and putting his other hand over his face as he tries to remember. His mind and his thoughts are all fuzzy, like an image that's trying to fade in through the static, it's slowly coming together, but it's difficult to see it as it is now... Didn't that girl voice just say something, the thing he needs to say now? "Cata... Cataclysm..." he mutters, then growls quietly. What're the words he's looking for? He doesn't like this evil that he feels alongside Catch's good, friendly emotions, but how did he describe this before? "Cataclysm... He...! He will... dead--not you, brother, you... Catch, you... need... Dreamer form, not... Not... Stupid, monster form, need Dreamer form shift. Cataclysm stupid gone."

(Hiya Fade! :D I ditto Fluffy!)

Jason had given the small group a big grin and a thumbs up, sure he was nervous they were going up against something that was made from Soledormir himself so of course they were heading into a boss fight, but he looked at his party members and was confidence in them, they were a good group, there was the Admiral, a skilled warrior with loads of experience behind him who knew how to be cool to, they worked well together already. Then there was Freckles, the girl that got pulled into the game and now was a player in a world she didn't belong was still the healer he would have wanted on his team, she was kind, polite but courageous, she had her fears but for others she was brave and that what Jason liked.
There was also Edgar his trusty little little robot drone who was going at support with his medical care or analyzing systems, and the 3 Vanguard to, two were stuck in there horse form but were still well armor and trained, the 3rd stayed in her human form, she favorite a sword and fire magic, they all at the ready. " we got this " the orange hair boy said as he prepped his gear, he knew Scarlett was at least weak to ice, he just wished he was able to find out more, Scarlett was the first of Soledormir cursed weapons he seen first hand but he had read and heard stories about them, Devastating weapons with unnatural powers.

With Boreas in the lead, Crystal behind and Vanguard after that Jason took the rear.

Jason keep Alert watching there surroundings, as they Adventure deeper into the clothing store, it was creepy and something definitely wasn't feeling right about this place, his mind was wondering what was going to happen next, was some kind of monster going to show up? Or would was the trap some kind of spell? Would they be turned into frogs or bunny's? That would be better then a death Curse...

his thoughts got interrupted when he thought he head someone over the radio, he placed a hand to his ear " say again, I didn't get all that " It was a woman voice, then again most of the Vanguard were women but as he listened he couldn't make any sense out of it.

The mare swivel their ears there had been some chatter off on the radios but they didn't hear anyone call just now, then again Jason was the one with gadgets and more frequencies on his radio, but When one of them turned to ask Jason she noticed him just standing there looking down in an odd way " sir Jason?" She asked feeling something was off.

Suddenly without warning Jason rises his crossbow and pointed it at Crystal, there was a slight hesitation as he started at the human girl his eyes had a red haze over them and then he fired...

Edgar made a startling robot sound as a warning when Jason turned his weapon on Crystal.

Eira quickly grabbed onto Crimson when Sparky suggested it, especially when the abomination burst through the ice wall and the place began to shake from hidden traps, since Rahab flapped his wings a little more in urgency. "Yeah... It's time to really move now!" she said nervously, looking back at the monster and considering if she could spare one hand for defense.

Rahab cawed in warning and dipped and swooped to avoid the projectiles flying at them. "If someone could save my tail feathers so we can fly, that'd be great," he called out somewhat sarcastically, but with urgency in his tone. His eagle eyes scanned the city below rapidly in search of more traps, as well as anything that could help save them.

Dreamcatcher stopped rubbing his forehead and just held his chain there when Weaver stood up and did his best to speak, he could feel more of Weaver emotions finally, his dislike and frustration, but despite his own problems Weaver was still being Weaver and was doing his best to look after his friends, that brought a soft smile to the dark moon blood faces " well figured something out to get him out of me, just like will figured some way to get Eater out of you to "

Catch then made sure that he keep his wing holding on to his friends shoulder, he didn't want Eater to go back into a Frenzy and make Weaver go though that again.

Anna puffed putting her hands on her hips " grrr! Why does these forms easier to shift to then your normal ones?" She then stands up and looks to Weaver, even though he looks more monstrous now she still knows it him and treats him that way " that right! One day Cataclysm and Eater will be gone and Cat will be back to red and Weaver be back to purple!"

With Fiona and Eira both trying to hold on to Crimson now, Spakry flies back to Terra's side and briefly tries to hold on to his shoulder while Rahab dives through the air. //Terra! Eira and Fiona are holding on to Crimson now, let go of him and hold on to Rahab!// he tries to tell his partner.

"... Wh--what...?" Terradream whispers, still staring down with wide eyes.

//Dude, you gotta let go of Crimson! Just try and hold on to Rahab, alright!?// Sparky repeats.

This time, Terradream does let go of Crimson, and holds on to Rahab's feathers as tight as he can with both his hands, even though the one in particular that he was holding on to Crimson with, is so dim, it's barely visible aside from the occasional red static...

//Terra, how do you feel?// Sparky then asks his Dreamer, already figuring Terra's in bad shape, but he wants to know if Terra can even answer him himself....

"... E-everything h-hurts..." Terra whispers again, his voice carrying his pain as he tries to turn his head to look around at the things attacking them, "B-but I--I need to do something, or--or we're all going t-to die, Sparky--"

//Terra, you know you're not in good shape, just do your best to hold on, ok? Maybe you can help hold on to Fiona and Eira too with your ribbons? Can you do that?// Sparky suggests, knowing that Terra likely wouldn't be able to do anything to stop the attacking enemies, but any help at all is good help in his mind.

The Fairfin watches as Terradream takes his ghostly ribbons and tries to wrap them around the two girls, but that doesn't change the fact that things are stacked against this little group. After a moment of thinking, with his eyes and nose scrunched up with determination, he shouts, "I'll try to draw some of them away!" He lets go of Terra's shoulder, glows as bright an orange as he can, and goes to fly right at some of the birds, doing his best impression of Fiona's battle cry.

Crystal had gone very silent, following Boreas into the shop when he led the way even though her body didn’t want to move at the thought of having to go any further..

Much like everyone else, she scanned the surroundings too, watching for anything that might lead to trouble while carefully maneuvering around the objects Boreas moved away. Looking back and forth she noted the threads and how they seemed to shut them in even more, which only aided to her internal hurricane of fear and worry.

The girl didn’t pay any mind to Jason talking at first, it sounded like the other times he spoke to that radio thing he mentioned, but the following questioning tone one of the mares had made Crystal look back at the boy. For a brief moment she didn’t understand, but seeing Jason’s demeanor caused something to very quickly click into place and now starring at the arrow pointed at her, the girl’s face went incredibly pale..

In the couple seconds of hesitation Jason showed, Crystal knew she needed to move, but if she moved, it was a good chance Boreas might get hit because she was right next to him. “D..down..!” she managed to squeak out before dropping, also doing the sensible thing and attempting to pull the Elemental with her.

(Hey Galaxy! ^v^

How're you doing?)

(I love how Crystal is so sweet but also so smart X3 )

(Ah and yeah, Hi Galaxy! ^-^ )

(Hello guys!
I'm alright, been up and going basically all day, cleaning and doing more kitchen stuff, but I'm good. ^^ Definitely getting tired and ready for a shower though~

Also haha sometimes. She's smart sometimes xD

(Good to see you're doing good! I bet, if you've had a long, busy day working, I bet a shower--or sleep--will be nice X3

Sometimes?~ I think you sell her short~ XD

I got distracted and forgot to finish writing this noooooo!!)

The purple Nightmare huffs and looks back up at Catch when he feels more of the warm, fuzzy emotions from his friend, and he pats his shoulder again. "Great! Great, good, Catch! Yes!" he cheers with something of a smirk. "You, me, shift Drea... We... /We'll/ shift to Dreamer form, be good! Not stupid monster form!"

But, getting up and moving around more also helps him realize more of how much abuse Eater put his body through, as he's starting to feel some aches and pains from when he ran head first into the solid wall that is Rage... and when the bird rammed him into a machine... and when it dragged him across a building... "... Ouch..." Weaver mumbles shortly after his hopeful little comments, leaning a bit more against Catch's side, letting his arms rest at his sides, looking down again, and smushing the brim of his hat down. At the same time though, the pain is still rather dull at the moment, and... "... I feel... Sleep? I feel like sleep...? No, no... I feel like... I feel like drugs. Sleep drugs... From... From... Doctorrrrr..."

With the movement and sounds on top of everything else going on with the sickly red king, Crimson felt like he needed to throw up again, he moaned " I-I got to puke "
Thankfully Glory had been doing her best in comforting him and being a good distraction so the red king likely could hold it a little longer.

The Seeker traps Continued to fire at the Griffin and his party, they were scattered though out this vicinity
And had to bring Rahab down soon or he get out of the area the Seeker had set up.

The birds on the other claw wasn't limited to being stuck on buildings or other architecture, they flew freely and could pursue their target but when Sparky yelled and came at them the group of birds split to stay away from the Fairfin, still needing to pursue their prey but also keep away from the Menacing light one part of the mob of birds turning their attention to Sparky as the others made a mad dash to catch up with the Griffin.
However a hand full of birds did not give chase, the ones who seem the less interested stay behind but ones Sparky separated for his heroic Act these birds took interest in that, half of them then took off as well though they had no interest in going after the Griffin like the others, they only were going after the Fairfin...

Out of the even smaller group of birds that stay behind one Raven flew down and landed on a still standing light post

(Sorry my post is taking so long! *Very big thonk.* XD

Glad you're doing good, Galaxy! It sounds like you've had a super productive day! I hope you can get a nice shower and some good rest tonight. ^-^

I agree with Lilly--Crystal's a very smart bean. X3)

Upon entering the building, Boreas was starting to hear something as well. Like Jason, he also wondered if it were someone over the radio, but it didn't sound right. Something about it brought a light fog to his mind...

There wasn't enough fog to stop him from glancing back at the commotion beginning behind them, just in time for Edgar's robotic warning. The Captain's eyes widened just a little at the sight of Jason pointing his weapon at Crystal--that much of a reaction being rare from him--but with the human girl's quick actions, he also managed to duck to avoid the shot.

"Well, he's not himself..." Boreas breathed. He quickly, but gently grabbed Crystal and hovered backwards to give them as much space as he dared, and to get them back on their feet. The icy Elemental stood ready to move in a moment's notice. He had experienced situations like these, though this one was far different in multiple ways... Yet, knowing there was a lot of mystery surrounding Scarlet, and the fact that his own mind wasn't fully alert told him his hunch was entirely too plausible. "Scarlet's controlling him!"
...He just wasn't sure how it had happened, or what they should do to stop it.

Fiona so badly wanted to do something to help keep Rahab and their group safe... But what?! She couldn't think of anything!!
She was panting hard. She definitely couldn't use Shockwave's magic no matter how much she wished she could. She didn't have anything long-range to stop any of the turrets firing at them, WHAT THE HECK COULD SHE DO?!

But then she suddenly felt something wrap around her. The Elemental very briefly glanced to the source--Terra, then caught a glimpse of a bright orange light flying off, screaming at the /many birds following them that Fiona hadn't noticed until now./ "SPARKY!!?" She called, having another panic-induced moment as she watched him go. She wanted to fly after him, but she couldn't do that, either...
Fiona forced her attention back to those around her. //AAUGH!! COME ON!! WE HAVE TO DO THIS!!//

So, she took a deep breath, and looked to her griffin shiftress friend, having only one thing in mind she could do to help, "EIRA!!" She tried and failed to not shout, "I CAN HOLD ONTO CRIMSON!! TRY USING YOUR MAGIC OR... OR SOMETHING!!"
Thus, she focused on that very thing she could do... Also turning to watch out for any birds who might get too close.

The other thing she knew she could do: punch the evil birds.

Eira was holding onto Rahab's feathers as best she could, with Crimson's arm in the other hand, just trying to keep everyone together. But she gasped when she caught the flash of orange light fly towards the swarm of birds. "Sparky, wait!!" The shiftress leaned forward as if to go after him, but froze, knowing from habit what repercussions there could be. But with Fiona's shouting, and Eira's concern for her friends, she knew she couldn't do nothing. "Rahab, keep going! Get them to safety!" she shouted as she pushed Crimson closer to Fiona, making sure the Elemental had a good grip on him. Eira looked out towards the ravens, held her breath, then leaped. For a second, she hung in the air, the sound of her heart pounding deep in her chest, and then she let the cold swirl inside take over. Blue magic flashed as her body shifted into a griffin, snow swirling wildly until her icy dark feathers and glowing blue ribs came into view. Frost crackled along her feathers, and her clouded breath puffed out. With extended wings Eira thrust herself forward, carrying her momentum onwards and careening into the swarm of ravens that were chasing Sparky. "Stay away from my friends!" she shrieked, voice almost echoing in the throat of this mystified form.

Rahab frowned when he heard Crimson groaning about needing to puke. "Don't you dare, not on my plumage! Wait ten more seconds, swallow it if you have to!" He flew even faster, despite the fact that every pump and every heartbeat was making his vision swim more as all the action kept the poison flowing inside. But the griffin jerked his head back when Eira leaped off to defend Sparky. "Eira, no! I'm not leaving you behind!" He hesitated, feeling the strong pull to go back and help his sister. He couldn't abandon her, especially when he left her behind for years, when she suffered for four years alone. He had to be the good brother.

Evil Jason smirked when Boreas called out what Scarlett had done, the Vanguards quickly went into action but Jason was quicker, he slammed down a flash Bang * snap!* a bright light illuminated the dark room for a instant and with a poof he was gone....

The Vaseterm winning in pain, their eyes more to adjusted to the dem lighting " tck! Form up! " one of them called out to her team mates, but everything was spotty with blur of lights.

It was during the effects of flash Bang that smaller round balls were being toss out, they more scattered and * pop* releasing smoke in the room but not only that... but boss music began to play from them...

~{Song: One-Winged Angel - Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX}~

With the cover of the smoke and his blaring music several bolts fire and impaled the ceiling above his Target, the bolts were the same that he used to blow up things...just the difference was they were on a timer instead of set for go on impact, a small red light flashed and beeping increased with speed as the time was counted down to 0 and then they exploded!

Dreamcatcher watch his friend with slightly musement, Weaver was trying his best to be himself even after everything.

When his friend said 'Ouch' the dark moon blood could start feeling the pain that was coming back to his friend " yeah, Eater took you for a rough ride..."he grimaced at that, Catch wonder if there was anything he could do to help? He couldn't heal but he could dull pain.

Then Weaver try to explain how he was feeling and that got a Snicker snort out of Catch " yeahhhhh, I know your not drugs Weaver, but you do sound like you need sleep " Catch patted his friend shoulder, then lowered his front half so he was laying down " how about you climb on my back so you can rest on are way, I don't want to rush you but Glory and Crimson are still out there and in trouble "

Catch looked up and asked " Anna have you gotten an update from Glory?"
" no not yet but I'll see if I can reach her " the Tiger Fairfin focus on her friend [ Glory? Glory are you there? We need an update, Were trying to get over to you!]

The Nightmare stands there for a bit longer, smirking faintly again when his friend snorts, but he almost slumps forward when Catch lowers himself down. "Yeah, I can..." Weaver starts to mumble, but then pauses when Catch mentions Glory and Crimson. He said more names, didn't he? Weaver recognizes how those words sound, and then, "trouble...?" "... Catch, uhh... Girly...? No, Glory... Glory and Crim..." he asks, louder than a mumble now as he pulls himself onto Dreamcatcher's back and narrows his eyes, "Catch, what... What happened? Crimson trouble... Crimson, Glory, trouble?"
What even was he doing before Catch tried to wipe his mouth the first time? He can't remember... It's like he blacked out, almost, his body aches likes he's been hurt, but he can't remember why, and then what was he doing before? He feels like there's something he should know about Crimson and Glory being in trouble, but it's just not quite there yet...

Because Terra had been using his ribbons to hold on to both Fiona and Eira, when Eira threw herself off of Rahab, Terra turned his head when he felt a tug on his ribbon, but since this was the ribbon he had also been holding on to Crimson with--that was being drained by Crimson--he watches as the end of his ribbon wrapped around Eira fizzles and disappears with a crackle of red static... He grimaces and winces from the pain of losing his ribbon, as well as the pain and numbness he still feels in his arms and hands, but what can he do? Eira's already gone... //She's going to die...// Terra thinks, tightening his grip around Fiona with his remaining ribbon, but when he looks over at Fiona, he finally realizes that the woman he's wrapped his ribbon around looks /nothing/ like Fiona. She has long, brown, normal hair, no armor, and she's not blue--but she screams like Fiona? And she has Shockwave... At this point, Terra doesn't have a freaking clue what's happening anymore, he's not sure if he's seeing things or not after seeing those four statue creatures earlier, he just hopes that this woman is actually Fiona...

Sparky plows right into one of the evil birds, but does it at an angle so he can use his momentum to keep himself going, flying up and around to try and lure the birds chasing him away from Rahab and the others. Then he notices Eira coming after him too, and for once, he feels a tad bit concerned. "Yo, Eira! I was just gonna lure these guys away from you guys! Don't forget there's things shooting at you too!!"

Morning Glory makes a sad little purr when Crimson moans about being sick, but she still does her best to comfort him. "Just a little longer, Crimson... Just stay with me a little longer..." Her ears perk up when she gets a call from Rihanna, and this also makes her realize that she hasn't updated anyone on the situation, and she calls back to her Fairfin friend first, saying: //Anna! We're getting away from the monster! Rahab, and Eira, and Fiona, and Terra, and Sparky--they came! They came and they're helping us get away from the monster! It's trying to shoot us down, and there's birds after us, but--but we're getting away! We're getting away, Anna!//

Afterwards, she tries to reach out to Crystal and Boreas as well, to update them both, saying, //We're getting away from the monster! We've got help from some of the others, Fiona, Terra, Sparky, Eira, and Rahab! There's still bad things after us, but it's not just me and Crimson now! We're trying to fly away!//

Sparky was right there was still things shooting at them, some of them they could see as others were just like the wires and were hidden from normal site and all it would take is a slight hesitation and they Hite their target, a hesitation like Rahab just made...

The birds zip around Sparky and Eira, Sparky's touch would burn the birds and they knew it, they moved like a bait ball ( swarm of fish) zooming this way and that, they were definitely up to something trying to keep away from him and yet surround the Fairfin, a red static would form around the birds when they got close to surrounding the Fairfin but Sparky was fast and small making it difficult.

There was so much noise, people were yelling, people he knew? something was happening, happening to his friends? That what the small Bellezza said, what Glory said... Crimson look towards the sun... even though it was hidden behind the clouds, he still knew were it was but how? he actually didn't know this world's solar cycle and yet as he stared...
the red king remember something like this, the archdemon coming after him, after his friends, his dad came to save them, but this Griffin wasn't his father, but these people, he knew them still or he thought he did... when Fiona yelled and the Raven hair jumped off he called out " Rita! " reaching hand out

~{ song: Peter Milinkovic - Sun }~

The clouds swirled and ripped open as if they had be call to, The sun light broke though the clouds with a red glow. Crimson bracelets glow as a White Fire ignited acrost is arm, the red king spoke in a long forgotten tongue and the white flames turned red, Order magic discharged from the king in red sparkles, an ancient spell that radiated hope and would bless those who were of the light.

For this moment the Fairfin gained what had been missing from them and became Blessed Fairfin, creatures of pure order Magic.

Terra would feel a warm comforting feeling wash over him as the magic surround the ghost Dreamer, his hand and ribbon would glow with a new red energy and return to him...

Fiona would also feel this same warm comforting magic, one that inspired hope and with that the endurance to press on and perhaps something more...

Eira and Rahab both would be surrounded by the same red light, something dormant would be awoken by a oath that had been made long ago...

The hidden shots would be made visible within the red light and slowd as if time moved definitely for evil creatures, that includes the birds to, there movement slowly down dramatically within the red glow of the light.

"Wait--" Fiona started, tensing up when she watched Eira jump off of Rahab's back, "--EIRA, WAIT!!!" The Elemental shrieked in alarm, having expected the griffin shiftress to stay on Rahab's back and use her magic long-distance. Her panicked mind would've been absolutely filled to the brim with anxious thoughts about her two friends, the threats around all of them that she couldn't defend against, and questions of 'NOW WHAT?!'

At least... Up until a sudden light hit them. She looked back to Crimson when she heard him speaking a language she didn't recognize, the red sparkles and flames catching her eyes. "What--?"

She suddenly felt a spark of hope she hadn't felt a moment ago... She felt like she could keep going, even though she had just been too exhausted to do much earlier... But she couldn't focus on that right then--they were surrounded by /lots of bad stuff./ The Elemental made sure Crimson and herself were both secure on Rahab's back, then she pulled Shockwave out with one hand.

The dark projectiles being shot at them were now moving in slow-motion... There were still a lot of them. She definitely couldn't defend against all of them, especially those from underneath, but she was going to give it her best shot. "WE'RE NOT GOING DOWN YET!!"
