His brother was drain that Catch was tossing emotions into and getting little back in return, but he was getting some, Dreamcatcher understood Weaver frustration and it added to his own, but because he knew the depth of it, it wasn't weighing him down as much as if it was just pure irritation over petty things, he needed to have control over himself and look on the brighter things, just like the hope Weaver had // your doing amazing to, with everything you been forced to go through...//Catch had a lot to think about, he didn't believe Weaver own him for anything, he was just happy he saved his brother and could at least do something now // don't worry about paying me back for anything, I'm just glad your alive. // but he understood that was the only way his brother could experience himself right now to so he didn't want to take that away to so he added with a teasing tone // but~ if you really want to pay me back, when this is all over how about we go back to our old hideout and work on it more? We got a few new members we need places for, who knows just how big those ruins really are, we didn't even know about the hidden wall...// it felt like forever since they last were back there, the Dreamer prince missed those days but even back then when he had his fog of fear and worries, but he still had hope, hope that now seem to flicker bright one moment only to fade then next, but he still had hope// but your right, we made it this far, well keep figuring things out as we go! // The Dreamer prince continue to hobble along, the streets were pretty still , with only the distant sounds of the chaos still continuing throughout the city, though as they would travel deeper the more quiet and desolated the city would become, even the black birds were less and less.

Dreamweaver stays quiet, listening to Catch again and having a faint, but still forced smile. Yes... even now, he is still going through so much; even though he hasn't been showing it, his body is still aching after the blows Eater took earlier, and his nose is still broken. At least it's not bleeding as much now as it was before, but the Nightmare does carefully wipe some more of the blood away with his glove. //You know what, that sounds like a good idea,// he says in reply to Catch's comments about the hideout, //Yeah, I'm still kinda curious about that place! To think, the Kings of old used to gather around there 'n stuff... I bet it's a lot bigger than what we were able to clear out, and maybe there's even stuff that we missed!//
Weaver then pauses before continuing, //... Honestly, it'd even just be nice to go back home after all of this... Hey, speaking of home...// he drops his smile again, //Are you still connected with my parents? If you are, this is another thing you could do later, but... Could you call them for me? See how they're doing after... Everything...?//

... After saying that telepathically, Weaver's expression becomes one more of exhaustion. "... Moons, I wish I could feel more..." he mumbles under his breath, then takes a breath. "But, hey... at least I can think now."

Terradream stays quiet, keeping his thoughts to himself as an invisible voice starts talking to them. He glances at the cat too, but his thoughts on it are: //The cat's not moving its mouth, it can't be the cat, can it? And what was that thud, like something just fell down? I... No, of course it's the cat, why wouldn't it be at this point? Fiona and everyone else has been seeing things better and I can't see things right, so it's either the cat like what they're saying, or there /is/ something invisible here... I'm just not going to say anything...//

"Yeah, what they said!" is all Sparky simply says, referring to Eira and Fiona. He glances down once at Terra, but he also holds onto his thoughts for now.

The way Crimson responded to her question is starting to make Glory nervous again. "Yeah.... Yeah, I'm talking to you, Crimson," the little Fairfin quietly answers him, "But, you don't sound right, and your eye is green instead of blue now... How do you feel?"

The red king had a feeling she was but it was still an odd feeling know someone was talking to him but
the tiny Bellezza other questions puzzled him more "...green?" He repeats slowly with a questioning tone, he didn't know what green was or blue for that matter, but even more concerning was his eye? He didn't have eyes did he? But he could see in a way...but now that things have calm down and he could focus more, Crimson helmet distorted colors, things did seem different then before, he didn't see colors but now things had hues, pigment and saturation of color.... the Red king stared for a moment taken in the sensation, before hesitantly saying"... n-no... I believe Something is wrong....I...don't know why everything is...so beautiful..." he wondered out loud, then the red king pondered did this have to do with him having eyes? But he knew he didn't have eyes, he shouldn't have a body and yet he felt something, he felt himself breathing and an odd discomfort, both from his bleeding injuries and his body reacting to the whiplash of polar opposite magic in his system, he didn't pay these pain to much mind as pain and discomfort were normal for him and nothing could be done so this feeling how ever odd wasn't concerning to him but the fact he could see colors was and that the tiny Bellezza could see and speak to him, that got him to wonder what did he look like? Though the red king had a disturbing suspicion ".... I.... I believe something is very wrong...." he whispered with uneasiness

" medical help?! "The mysterious voice sounded startled" GRAAHHH! have you all been like that since you came in?! " he rushed though his desk, papers went up along with other odds and ends " My apologies! I'm being a terrible receptionist! This isn't my full-time position..." after digging though some things, a floating medkit came into view and was rises up high " found it!"
Then he remembered the other question that had be asked, the mysterious voice then realized that he was invisible " MY APOLOGIES! " suddenly with a glittering of light similar to when a Fairfins comes out of invisibly, then suddenly a cowering slender dragon appeared holding the first aid kit. He was tall very tall, 37 foot kind of tall, a giraffe of a dragon.

The dragon was both sleek and fluffy, with a mixture of fur, feathers and sleek scales, he was mostly black and with bits white that appeared to have a skeleton type pattern on him, including his face marks that resembled a skull, he had hues of red here and there and four big feathery wings. His head was adorned with a large feathery crest and two big horns were unique in shape as there was a hallowed scallops along side of them, in between his horns however was an equally unusual thing, a red and black Giant floating gemstone. The giraffe dragon had his head lower to a level he could see the group better with but not so low he put himself in danger, but from here they could see his heterochromia eyes, his right was both spilt Blue and green as his left was both red and purple " I am Death! Please to meet you!" He then did a little wiggle and ruffled the feathers on his crest, a greeting of the Bellezza but no one in the group would know this, except one right now...

Death then took the first aid kit in one of his long ribbon, he lifted his head and back out from behind his desk to come around to help the unfortunate group, he gracefully walked around the desk, a group of cats gathered and was following him now.

Death stop and lower his head again, as he held up first aid kit like an eager kid " I rarely ever treat anyone other then cat! " he then set down the kit and opened it, looking over the components inside, he first pulled out defibrillator, he took both his ribbons and held each panel up looking to the small group before him " anyone in need of these? " from his abilities it was hard to judge, some appeared to be on deaths door or maybe they were already dead but that couldn't be right, right?

With the voice's first declaration, Fiona cast a glance over the group one more time. From Eira in front of them, to Rahab, Glory, Crimson, and Sparky, and finally to Terra--most all of them were a mess in one way or another. She had her own worries for all of them, but hoped they were in the right place for help. They had to be.

The Elemental looked back, noticing the floating first-aid kit. "...Okay, you're not the cat." She muttered. Her eyes widened as the enormous dragon faded into view, and then she just stared as he lowered himself to look at them and tell them his name. Fiona had never seen a dragon like him before... But his name made her snap back to reality very quickly.
"Death?!"

/That/ was not a name or a thing she wanted to think about right then--they weren't dead, right?! /No, they couldn't be!!/
...He was about to help them, so she shook all the questions she had in her mind and focused on what they needed.
"It's great to meet you, Death." She forced a smile.

...She didn't really know what a defibrillator was, but she shook her head, "I... Don't think so...? We've had a run in with some /really nasty/ dark stuff. He's been hit by it the worst." The Elemental started to explain, nodding her head towards Crimson.

Eira and Rahab stared as well, confused and a bit appalled by this very friendly voice appearing into the form of a very tall dragon with a lot of spooky design going on. Eira looked into the medical kit that Death had presented, finding that and the dragon's aesthetic a bit contradictory... But the offer was appreciated. "No, thank you... But if you have something to help with darkness, Crimson could use it immediately," she said with a gesture to the red king. She also pointed to Fiona and Rahab, saying, "They need treatment for venom, too, if you have it that is... Is there a doctor here?" She glanced about the sea of cats.

Jason was about to switch gears to back into combat when Boreas came in just the nick of time, distracting the orange hair boy, or more or less getting Evil Jason back on track, because what evil villain doesn't monologue?!

Getting back into the role of his idea of a villain " HA! THAT IS WHAT YOU THINK INCREDIBLE ICE MAN! " he dramatic spout out making a swing motion with his arm " BUT I /DOOM SHIELD/ WILL STOP YOUR GOODY TO SHOES WAYS! "
Jason or what he calling himself now, Doom Shield then go into his monologue " You see first I will use my flash poper to lave you blind and helpless and then I will free my death blade to be your DOOM! " as he spoke he pulled out the small flash bomb to show them before he went to toss them and do what he said.

The mannequin body rises up in an unhealthy way if it were a person, Scarlets had gotten to her feet, the mannequin body lead to one side with the head hanging backwards. Scarlets wasn't holding on to Crystal any more however the girl wouldn't need that connection to know that her malice intentions, she didn't just hate Crystal she despise her, and wanted to sacrifice the girl in belief it would save her master.
The mannequin body shuffle forward, but she stopped, she knew Boreas and the Vanguard were over in their, she believed she could kill Crystal herself but even with the Seeker help in setting all this up, even giving her the strength to possess both the mannequin and control Jason, many if her spell had work on Boreas but much to her disappointment she wasn't able to manipulate both males.

Scarlets had to rethink her plans, she could use the birds....

Edgar spin around when Crystal was coming, by the look of her the little drone knew enough that she just seen some things

With Boreas successfully distracting Jason, the first mare uses this opportunity to make her way over towards Crystal's direction.

Boreas paused as Doom Shield started his monologue again. //Usually I'm called much worse...// Even he was getting a little distracted by Jason's cartoon villain-esque display.

He got his fuzzy mind back on track rather quickly, as Jason stated his plans loudly for everyone to hear--more bright lights... Boreas knew he needed to act quickly, and he did still have those clothes from earlier.

Momentarily dropping his weapon, the Elemental grasped the shirt he had in both hands, and made a lunge to catch the flash bombs Jason tossed. Then he quickly balled up the cloth and chucked it behind him--if the fabric wouldn't stop the flash enough, not looking at it certainly would. "Not today, Doom Shield!"

With Jason announcing his plan, the mare stuck in her true form uses this as an opporunity--having gotten up on her feet as quick as she could after being freed, she makes the risky move of squeezing her eyes shut and blindly charging toward Jason. She's hoping that, in the brief moment of the flash bomb, she can plow into him and knock him over, creating an even bigger opportunity for everyone. Except Jason.

The other Vaseterm quickly closes her eyes and covers her face with her arm too, considering maybe once the light has subsided, she can see how she can support Boreas and the other mare from there.

When she came upon Edgar, Crystal slowed down for a moment, “Follow me back this way, you need to stay away from her..” she mumbled, taking a glance backwards.

Seeing that the mannequin had stopped moving was almost scarier than if it had followed, and this left the girl a bit confused. Crystal faltered for a second and tried to catch her breath, eyes lingering on the damaged figure. ‘She’s been trapped by them before, she must not want to get closer to the others..’ This only caused her to wonder what it was Scarlet was capable of that meant she didn’t need to go after her to get what she wanted..

But she didn’t dwell on it too long, soon turning back and noticing the mare who seemed to be heading in this direction. Crystal quickly continued forward and made her way over to her, unaware of how shaken she looked and sounded. “I- I found her..” was all she said.

(I'm trying to think on my post for the mare with Crystal! And then I'll do Terra, Sparky, and Glory~

How is everyone? :3 )

"You found her?" The mare repeats, and noticing how shaken Crystal is, she stands tall and reassures her, "I'm here to help, you don't have to face her alone now. You did good in finding her yourself, though. Where is she now? Still over there?"

(Alrighty!

I'm doing pretty good! It's nice n' chilly out. -v-

How about you?)

(Yeeee! It's chilly over here too! I'm thoroughly enjoying it~ XD

I'm doing goood! It's good to be back RPing again! X3 )

(October weather is nice. :>

Yeeeee, it is great to be back! I'm excited. X3)

( HELLO! )

Morning Glory quietly listens to the Red prince, and comes to a conclusion. //... I don't think this is Crimson... He's not making sense at all if he were...// The little Fairfin frowns as she says, "Yeah, I agree, there is something very wrong here... You don't sound like my friend Crimson anymore..." Then she pauses, thinking for a moment on what's more important: his physical injuries, or his mental state? No one's going to be able to help Crimson's mind if he ends up dying here... "Mmm, I don't think you'd be able to help me take that helmet off, huh," Glory says, then hears Death's offer for help. "Excuse me, but my friends are both right, I think Crimson and Rahab here have it the worst," she explains, pointing to the Prince's wounds, "Crimson's got some really bad injuries and is bleeding really bad, here, here, and here, see? He needs professional help, and fast! But there's still hooks impaled in him, whoever works on him will need to be careful!"

Terra still remains quiet, but his shoulders slump a little when Death gives his name. //... This is it... It's all over...// he thinks, partially accepting that this is where everyone dies... But...
Just a little while ago... Didn't he feel a spark of hope? Doesn't this place itself feel warm and comforting? Why is he still so hopeless? Does he have no faith?
... Or is it more likely that he's been lying to himself for so long, telling himself that he's fine, and trying to make himself believe it, that experiencing what it's actually like to genuinely feel better... Even for just a moment... Is slowly making him realize that he's not fine?
And yet, he's still trying to fight it. //No, no, just shut up, you're thinking too much,// he tells himself as he stares down at the floor, //You're fine compared to everyone else, I'm fine, I'm fine, but everyone else is going to... Going to...//

Sparky finally flies over to his partner, and hovers in front of him. "... How're you doing, Terra?" he asks in whisper.

(HELLOOO!!!)

(HOI!!)

( hmmm, things are going to seem a bit odd with Jason, Crystal and Boreas interaction with my post as they are a little behind time wise, so if my post seems odd that why. I'll do my best to explain things and I think after the battle we can catch them up pretty quickly)

// it's something I thought about off and on... we know almost nothing about the kings were supposed to get the keys of...that it's hard to imagine that we were actually in one of their stronghold.... I wonder why we just haven't found more about them other then thought visions? // the Dreamer prince commented. He then thought about what his brother requested, Catch's ears dropped getting reminded that he failed to keep his promises to Weaver in letting his parents know what happened a year ago... that there son lost the battle against Nightmares syndrome ... this was one of the many regrets that had been weighing down Dreamcatcher but, but he was giving a a second chance, and with this call Catch could be the bringer of good news, that Weaver was still alive and doing his best in the circumstance he was in, with this Catch ears perk up a little as he looks over his shoulder at his brother// yes, I /will/ call and let your family know, it be one of the first things I do when this is over // this got Catch to think about the others and their family's, when was the last time they all header from them? So he added as he looks forward again// I think I'll try to get a hold of everyone family and let them know what going on, if they haven't already themselves.... it's the least I can do for them //

Catch ears twitchde and pind back, he glace over his shoulder feeling the emptiness in his friend as well, it was very draining and yet Weaver still did his best to stay positive even when he couldn't feel, so to keep a lighter mood Catch teased" yeahhhhh, that a very good thing, I can hold a conversation with you now, otherwise I be bored with just Anna to talk to"

" Hay! What the supposed to me?!" The tiger Fairfin flew up and in front of her partner, with a disapprove expression with her hands on her hips.

(Hello! I’m here now ^^

Also~ Speaking of Crystal, Boreas, and Jason’s interactions, what is the order we’re going in? With the addition of Scarlet and the Mare coming to check on my girl, I got a tad lost for some reason and just wanna be sure so I don’t mess anything up ‘xD)

(Hey Galaxy! Good to see you! :D

It's ok! I don't blame you 'XD

Let's see, I believe it's Shadow's turn for Jason and Scarlett both now, so it'll be, uhhhhh...

Jason -> Boreas -> two mares -> Jason
for that interaction, and then,
Scarlett -> Crystal -> mare -> Scarlett

Also, how're you doing? Are you feeling better after last time? I'm hoping all that dizzyness you were having last time has gone away? :3 )

(Hey Galaxy! Good to see ya! ^v^

...I second Lilly. XD)

Dreamweaver stays quiet for a moment on Dreamcatcher's back, even as Catch makes his new promise and accepts his favor. Without a heart, he can't feel thankful, even though he knows he should, so what he's feeling doesn't change from the emptiness he was experiencing earlier... But, for his brother's sake, he at least tries to put on a smile again afterwards, and pretends to be thankful. "Yeah... you need someone else to talk to other than /girls/ all the time, huh?" he likewise teases, speaking to Catch while peeking around to smirk at Anna, "Hey, I don't blame you, sure, Anna's great and all, but you need some bro time, don't ya?" the Nightmare snickers, then pats Catch on his good shoulder. "... I would say, I really appreciate you going to do that for me, but you know how I am right now... I'll have to pay you back with lots of 'thank you's' later. Maybe some chocolate, hey?"

Shortly after that, Weaver does start to look more at their surroundings, and it really sets in how quiet it is here. "I'm guessing we're getting closer to the heart of where Malice did his thing, huh? There certainly isn't anything around here, I can't even sense much..." he thinks out loud, then rambles a little bit, "You know, Nightmare eyes are weird, you can see the glowing outlines of people through walls, and you can kinda... /feel/ a person's presence if you're close enough. Hey, you can't see that yet, right? Well, probably not in your true form like this, but... I hope you haven't yet, it's weird." He then pauses a moment, narrowing his eyes, looking ahead,
and then leaning forward to point a direction out as he says, "I'm think I can kinda sense Malice over there, kind of ahead of us but also off to the side a little, that way..."

(It’s good to see y'all too! :>

Lol, thanks Lilly! That helps so much XD

And I'm doing alright, I didn't sleep all that well last night so I'm feeling a bit -bleh- today, but overall I have been feeling better and most of the dizziness I was going though has thankfully gone away. I still have the normal dizzy I get, but I’m more used to this level of it and can manage way better :3

Having looked up through the comments, I’m glad to see y’all are doing good too!)

".. uhhh, yes, I believe we do! "Death looks between those talking and asking their questions on medical staff and equipment and then he thinks outloud " I should have called them first?... but..." the spooky Bellezza then looked to the ones they pointed at who needed help and a look of worry was on him...

Deaths Bellezza gift was he could see the current outcome of somethings death... he could tell this by odd colored Ravens that would follow the individual depending on what color meant how the person we're going to die and how many birds meant how close this fate was to become a reality... looking over the group was disturbing as all of them had red birds around them which meant murder... Rahab had the most birds but Death knew there wasn't enough for him to just die right here but he did need help to keep the numbers from growing to the amount that meant he would die here.

Death sat down his first aid kit " im not sure what all in there that could help you all but I'll call for help! " he then walked a big Circle back to his desk, he poke at some buttons with a claw and then pick up a phone with a ribbon " help! This is D at the front desk, could I get some help up here please?, a group of 9 just came in, 3 are deceased already but 2 of them are uh... are uh, spirits, and I'm not sure what to do about that..." he then listened and nodded his head a few times before continuing " ok, I can see about that... uh? The others? Oh yes! There 5 that are still alive yes, and are in need of medical attention and two are ready bad off, one of them has the 3rd dead person though... and the 9th that we should get security for.... I don't know what it is but it's something evil... ok,I'll make sure to wash my hands, can you come quickly, they keep starting at me and I d-don't know what to do... thank you... ok, bye " Death then hang up the phone and took a deep breath before looking back to the group and forced a smile " help will be here shortly! "

With what Glory answered the red king with got him thinking, earlier she said these people were his 'friends' but now she said he didn't sound like her friend... the red king looked to his hand, he moved that earlier? he knew he did but he didn't have hands and yet now he did... as the red king fingers slowly move it bother him, he knew this hand and who it belongs to "... I-I... I'm sorry but I am not your friend....this has never happened before... I-.... I don't understand what has happened but am I in possession of your friends body?... " he did his best to explain as he looked back to the tiny Bellezza, he was greatly Disturbed and confused by all of this. The red king wanted to know for sure, if this was the boys body, he focus on his hand and it slowly reached towards his face to wear he could feel the helmet, if this was indeed the boys then he knew how it worked, Crimson armor would only be remove by himself or someone he trusted....

However The red king stopped and then fell silent as Glory spoke to the male Bellezza, he knew Death was of the moon and so his ability would favor the Supernatural and as Death spoke to someone else it confirm that....The question was 3 were dead... the red king knew Terra and Sparky were spirits, and the other appeared to be in the living so did that mean him or the boy?... it was a thought he didn't like to dwell on what on, he already knew the answer didn't he? And yet nothing made sense, it never did...lost in the darkness of chaos.

(OF COURSE! No problem Galaxy! ^-^

Aww, I get that :/ I've had more than a couple days in the past few weeks where I've had trouble getting to sleep, but at least the last couple days have been better. I definitely feel that though 'XS
And I'm glad the dizziness is going away, that still sounds really bad for you to have that for so long, though ;~; I hope it goes away and never comes back!)

( that good that you're feeling a bit better Galaxy :)
I hope you feel feeling better ^-^
I'm working on my post now! )

"Calling help would be great!" Fiona loudly reaffirmed the obvious, watching Death circle back to his desk and start the call... //Okay, okay, we're getting there...//
Though, as she listened to him speak, she blinked.
It took a moment for her mind to function, in fact, she didn't even really take anything in until a particular part, ".../Th-three deceased...!?/" She knew Terra and Sparky were the only ones who were ghosts... //THREE DECEASED!?! Nine of us...?! NOBODY ELSE SHOULD BE DEAD!//
When she looked back and quickly re-counted their group, all of them were still upright, and there were seven of them.
"W-wait, wait, there are seven of us...! Right...?"

A part of her wondered if she counted wrong, while another part of her was far too panicked to think that much--WHY WERE THERE /THREE/ PEOPLE WHO WERE DEAD?

(Ahhh, sorry to hear you haven't been able to sleep well, Galaxy. :s
Though, it's good that throughout the day you've felt better. I hope you can get some better rest in the coming days, and that your dizziness will go away, too!)

Eira also reacted with a confused frown as she overheard Death's call for assistance. //Three dead?... That's not so encouraging... I assume he means Terra, Sparky, and.... Glory? Considering her unique situation... But all of us need help regardless. I hope they show up soon...//
The shiftress hesitantly approached the first aid kit where it lay and sifted through it with a claw. "Uhm... Is anyone bleeding? Do you need anything wrapped up, or...?" She glanced back at the crowd.

In standing so long, Rahab was beginning to sway on his feet, and he begrudgingly sat down, looking kinda miserable and really really wanting a nap.

With the Red King's words, he's confirmed Glory's suspicions. //So there is someone else in control of Crimson right now... Oh dear...// she thinks, still with a frown, //But... He doesn't seem... evil...? He seems just as confused and upset by this as I am, but that doesn't change the fact that I have no idea what kind of condition actual Crimson is in... I hope he's ok...//
"I don't know what's going on either, uh... Sir, but we're going to have to work together to figure this out, for Crimson's sake, and yours," the Fairfin answers him, having a worried, but optimistic tone to her voice. When she hears Death, it makes her wonder even more... //... Is the third dead person whoever's in control of Crimson now? I guess that could work, if he's a spirit? ... But how did he get in Crim in the first place? I'm gonna have to tell Weaver about this... And everyone else needs to know too.//
Morning Glory then listens as Eira speaks up. "Well, like I just said to Death, Crim--uh... Crimson's bleeding bad and he's still got some hooks in him (she doesn't realize that not everyone can see them), but I think he needs more professional help, I don't know about anyone else." Having said that, Glory goes back up to the Red King's head and looks over his helmet some. "Mmm, sorry, I hope you don't mind if I try to figure out how to take this helmet off? That way we'd be able to see you better, and, I guess you could see us better too..."

"... H-huh...?! Me--y-yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine..." Terra jumps and stutters. Even his voice sounds like he's straining, trying to hold back from snapping... "But wh-what about everyone else? S-Sparky, what do I do? What can I do? I--I have to do something, e-everyone's going to die--I gotta--I've got to d-do something, what do I do...?!"

"Woah now," Sparky replies, his yellowy fur turning a bit more of a tense orange as he holds his hands up in front of Terra, "To start off, you're going to need to calm down, take a deep breath--"

"I already told you, I'm f-fine, I'm /fine,/ I'm cool, I... I have everything u-under control," Terra says, unknowingly tightening his hands into fists, his whole body shaking, "But I--I need to b-be doing something, Sparky, I can't just sit here while everyone dies, I-I can't do that, n-not again...!"

" WHAT?! you can't do that! " Doom shield shouted as incredible Iceman miraculously didn't fall for his trap! The flash bomb went off but it's effect were diluted thanks to Boreas quick thinking.

Jas- I mean, Doom shield went to pull out other another Gadget for a follow up, but he let out a loud 'oof' when the mare plowed into him, knocking him into the ground

Scarlett was not going to venture beyond her Arena, she had an advantage there, and she wasn't about to give that up especially since her previous plans did not go accordingly, she lost Crimson which was her greatest frustration and now she only had control over one of the males instead of both.

There were more troublesome females here then she wanted but out of all of them it was Crystal who she wanted to kill, in her mind it was the human girl fault that Crimson fell back into his sickness and turned away from her.

The bloody mannequin turned away from were the girl ran off to, there was to many in that direction that would make her plans more difficult, oh how she long to only have Crimson listed to her, to trust her fully and do all that she ask, things would be far different if that was the case, he would be a true king by now and she be his weapon of mayhem, all the death they could bring, all the life's they could steal... but no, her she was without Crimson and thought the strings were being tugged hard on him, he had a greater resistance then before and it was all the human girl fault! But not for long, Scarlett believe she was blessed with an opportunity to free Crimson and right everything that had been going wrong....

However the blood sword needed help, without her host welding her Scarlett ability were limited, even after the great honor ones help ( the Seeker). time was short so she made her way back to the bloody bag that hanged, there she was going to offer a tribute for blessing of Soledormirs...

But as she was about to perform her evil ritual something happened to Crimson... ( remember were I said they were a bit behind? This is were Crim pop with red light )
No one could hear the scream of the blood sword as she was not telepathically connected to anyone at the moment, but she was still linked with Crimson and he to her, and just then as Rahab flew away from the Seeker and Eira and Sparky were in danger the red king cast his blessing on them, that same order and light went into her.

Scarlet fell to the ground and began to thrash, she glow with a red light but it had a different presents to it then the Sinister red lights that were normally associated with chaos, thankfully no one was able to hear her voice as this was happening to her.

" hay! Two against one? that not far! " Anna snapped back, she then buzzed around the brothers as she pouted "Fine I'll call Glory then! She talk to me "

Dreamcatcher smirked and shook his head, they both knew this was for fun so he didn't press the matter, but calling Glory was a good idea " you know were just testing you Anna, but given and getting an update would be great, we need to do better in keeping informed "

The tiger Fairfin still wasn't happy but she got over it Farley quickly, they were still on the job and it was her task to communicate// hay Glory? How are things over there? //

" thanks Anna" As Rihanna did that Catch continued and Then followed where Weaver directed, he grimaced was his brother explained his Nightmare since ".... It hard to explain but I think I kinda know what you're going through... I only felt? Seen? It a few times, when I'm in that dark form at night and at my worst.... I don't even think about it though, everything in my head is so chaotic and yet feels natural.... I know it's not, but it can be a struggle to control myself...." Catch sighed thinking about it more " that form is a curse .... in the day I have my mind but I'm reminded that Cataclysm is still in me and at night, even though I don't hear him, it then I think I feel the Nightmare instincts the strongest but there something else at play and I think it my Vaseterm blood that also makes me cuckoo... but I shouldn't complain, I'm still me and as long as I stay like this it almost like I don't have Nightmare syndrome..." he try to focus a smile, there was far more important and pressing things to worry about.

The empty city streets eventually change to an abandoned lot that had been used long ago as a train station, the ground was still muddy and wet from the rain earlier.

"I did do that." Boreas stated in response to Doom Shield's shout--not full of snark... Just matter of fact-ly.
Maybe he was getting a little too into playing along... Or maybe it was his mind fog making him loopy...?

He almost didn't brace himself for what the Shield of Doom would pull out next... But thankfully, the mare in her true form plowed him over. Boreas had a second more to think, which was enough for him to formulate something of another idea.
This was an opportunity, and they needed to not pass it up.

The icy Elemental rushed for their adversary, and tried pinning him down. He grabbed Jason's arms and used his metal prosthetic and his very cold ice magic in his other hand to make it more difficult to move, then he planted one foot in the center of the orange-haired boy's back to try holding him down further.
...He was absolutely not a heavyweight, but it wouldn't be a cakewalk to pry him off.
"NEED SOME HELP WITH THIS!" He called loudly, glancing to each of the mares.

Crystal nods at first, trying to process the Mares words, “Yes, she’s.. she’s still back that way,” the girl halfheartedly gestures the way she came, “I was worried she’d follow me but I guess with everyone here she doesn’t want to take that chance-“ Crystal attempts to take a breath, but it does little good with everything feeling like it was racing and her head clouded in fear.

After a short second of silence, completely oblivious to what Scarlet’s going through at the moment, the girl looks towards the hall again finally and says, “I’m not exactly sure what to do next..”

"Yeah, c'mon, you know Strawberry head here does still need his big sister, too," Weaver teases, but lets Anna call his own Fairfin. He turns his attention back to Catch, and frowns slightly at what his brother says. "... Yeah, I get that... I've felt that before too, being back in my body but with it being all... messed up." He looks down at his hands for a moment. "I've felt it a lot, actually, something feels natural to Eater, but when I think about it, it's weird, or straight-up evil and disgusting... Sometimes I'm not even able to think about it though, some things just are so natural to Eater, it goes over my head too.
... Like... Eating a raw, whole chicken. Being able to sit and think about that now... That was /really gross,// he says, grimacing slightly at that. He tries not to think on it too much though--he doesn't want to make himself sick on his brother's back. "But h-hey... It is great that we're both still ourselves, but it doesn't change the fact that it's still something serious. Yeah, it's almost like you don't even have Nightmare Syndrome right now, but you still do have it, and Catty sounds like he's only going to get worse and worse. He needs to be dealt with--you need to be taken care of! ... But, at the same time, we also can't panic or freak out too much right now, because we can't do anything right this very second... Hey, be thankful for the good things, but don't try to sweep your problems under a rug and forget about them... I guess that's what I'm trying to say."

While he's still looking down, his eyes do wander away from his hands and study the muddy ground a bit, and eventually he notices... "... Hey, hey, are those tracks over there?" Weaver asks, instinctively going to slide off of Catch's back--but then he swiftly remembers how important it is to make sure that Catch still has a hold of him, so as he's about to slide off, his eyes widen--"WAIT!!" he yelps, frantically reaching out and holding onto Dreamcatcher's wing as he slides off, but after a few seconds of him holding on to Catch for dear life, he remembers... "... Wait, you still got your ribbons on me, so I uh... I should be fine, right...?"

The mare with Crystal narrows her eyes and nods her head. "Take a moment to catch your breath, you did good to escape from her trap," she says, then glances down the hall where Crystal was running from. "We can't let her get away, and we need some way to trap or contain her. Unfortunately, I am unable to use my magic at the moment still, and being stuck in my true form is very inconvenient now... Nevertheless, I will do what I can to protect you." She pauses. "What did she use against you? When we go back there, what should I expect to see?"

After the other mare plows over Ja-I mean Doom Shield, she recovers from that momentum as soon as she's able, and then hearing Boreas' request, she swiftly comes back over. "I suppose I can sit on him, sir, I think I ought to be able to keep him down," she says, carefully trying to manuever around Doom Shield and Incredible Ice Man both.

The other one, in her human form, quickly comes over too, carrying the rope she had cut off of her team mate earlier. "I believe we can try to salvage this to tie him up!"

The spooked Bellezza looked to Fiona and then over to Terradream and Sparky, the two ghost it him had a red glow to them, just like the birds, meaning these two had been murder... he wondered what happened, it wasn't normal for spirits to still be with the living and by what he was seeing from this group, he wondered what had happened to all of them, they didn't seem well in both physically and mentally. He pondered if he should say something to the ghosts buy seen they hadn't spoken to him he wasn't going to be rude and butt in, so he gave a worry glace before turning his head back to the long weird brunette hair woman " y-es?... you didn't know?" He Mumble and taped his front clows together now questioning himself if he spoken about something he shouldn't have.

The spooked Bellezza then looked over to the one they called Crimson, he was the puzzling one and who Death was concerned about, even though his Twisted armor hid most things from others, it couldn't hid him from a Bellezza site...he was troubled by him as there was many things Death since from this individual, he had many red birds around him meaning murder was his fate as it was now and yet Death was puzzled and Disturbed because by what he knew of his ability this person was already dead... the red prince had a red glow to him just like the two spirits that were in the same room, this red glow meant his death was by murder...." i-im not exactly sure what can be done for your friend here, ... I'm sorry but one of them is already dead..." the spooky Bellezza lower his head " I-I don't know if this helps but...the other one still seems to be alive but uhmm his fate is not looking good..." he was nervous about adding the next part but surely they had to know already? But if not it wouldn't be good to not tell them " there a great evil that rest inside him..." he took his paws after afterwards in a calming manner " please, just stay calm though, I called for help and they should be on their way! "

His fluffy ears pind back seen as the big Griffin was about to collapse " I-EEEEE! " Death quickly left his desk and went over to were the Chairs were located and pulled off some of the pillows, if people were going to pass out before the Medics could get there the least he could do is make them comfortable.
" here! You can use these! " he offered them with his ribbons and then made a goofy nervous face as he added to try and lighten the mood " uhmm, you know to rest on or...w- ell we're not against pillow fights here as long as you clean up after... b-ut you guys look like you just need rest! I was just joking about the pillow fights you know to not make it feel so grim....you know? I'm not sure what you all been though but you guys are in one of the safest places in the realms "

" .... uh... y-es, I will do what I can to help...." the red king replied to the tiny Bellezza, he didn't like any of this, he had hoped that perhaps this was a dream like that earlier with the female Dreamer but he also knew it wasn't, everything was different, he could feel and touched things, he was seeing colors, smells and tastes were familiar and yet foreign Sensations, but now he knew these did not belong to him and he felt like he should apologize ".... I'm sorry.... please forgive me for this... it was not my wish to have done this to your friend....I never wanted this...."

He gose quite around as Glory speaks to the others, his mind drift to try to collect what it can even though he knows he will end up forgetting things, one thing he more sure on by what is being said is that he is dead.... the red king had wonder that and after what had just happened moments ago with the Arch demon suffered memories, he knew that monster or at least the monster knew him //... I didn't just simply die did I?....but I been here, we both have....so am I somehow not dead and yet am? And what does that mean for him?...// he Focused on the boy, he could still feel him just like in the dream but the demon was there to...

The red king snapped back into reality when Glory comes into view " y-es?!... pardon, I'm Sorry... I.. " he pause realizing her question " ... you wish to take his helmet off?" The helmet hid his surprise tone, he stared at her for a moment, would that be ok? Maybe it could help them out " u-hmm sure... I have not done this myself but... I do know how his armor functions...." the red king took breath between speaking, moving was a difficult task, even though he wasn't fully aware of the situation of the injury to his chest and shoulder, it still took it toll, it made it harder to breathe and to move, then again moving was foreign to him anyway and yet he could do it.

".... this armor will only let those he trust remove it.... if the armor knows it is a friend it should let them remove it...however I do not have any memory of someone but one person who has....but he is not here..." the red king wasted sure who could remove the armor that was present, the individual here said that they were friends but none of these people were in lighthouses, with this being of Crimson there was only one he trusted that deeply, it was the human girl. " ... I do not see the human girl he has fond memories of...he holds great trust with her... "
slowly his hands moved to Crimson helmet, they were shaken and clumsy, especially his right hand that had the hook in his shoulder".... there is other way... I do not know if it knows I am not him or not...." but he was struggling with this task of just holding onto something.
Though The invisible rods were still there, Crimson armor actually help in revealing that something was there, the armor had been trying to crystallize and cover the opening but the bolts keep cutting it, causing a constant effect in those areas of breaking and mending.

" unhand me you good doers! I AM DOOM SHIELD! I WILL BE YOUR DOOM!" Doom shield try to resist against his adversary Incredible Iceman, he still have a chance, that was until he seen the sidekick two-ton Bessie coming his way " DON'T YOU DARE! I HAVE RIGHT OF A VILLAIN YOU KNOW! "

-

Scarlet melted and the mannequin she cursed crumbled. She was puddle of glowing bubbling goo.

Fiona did her best to help Rahab keep stable as he sat down, "Ah! Uh--! Hang on just a little longer, Rahab...!" She tried to encourage him some between her panicked thoughts.

Then she whipped her attention back, trying /very hard/ to understand what was going on. Just like with her physical condition, her mental state was rather haywire. What Death was telling them was almost unbelievable news at that time, but... He seemed to know what he was talking about and she REALLY wanted to understand if it would help!

"One of them is--No... No, no no...!" The Elemental repeated, her eyes widening and a horribly dismayed look quickly following. "...But the other... The other is alive... That has to be Crimson, he HAS to be okay--but who's..." She paused, looking over to the red king, "There's... /Someone else/ in Crimson...?! And... A great evil... Nine... People...?"

She just started quietly mumbling what Death had said in repetition as she tried understanding everything. At the same time, however, there was a lot going on right then with everyone. Crimson, Terra and Sparky, Rahab...

Fiona kind of just found herself... Not knowing what to think. Her mind was blanking out and she couldn't keep track of anything. Whether it was due to everything going on or the poison in her coupled with sheer exhaustion was up for debate... It was likely both.

The Mares calmness and reassurance helped to lessen some of Crystals anxiety, at least enough for her to gather her thoughts a bit better.

“R-right, thank you,” she mumbled, thinking on what was asked, “Well, she.. used a mannequin to attack me, and there was a circle of more mannequins surrounding a hanging bloody bag of sorts..” the girl made a face just thinking about it, “It’s darker back there, and between that and Scarlet I didn’t get much else..”

As Doom Shield struggled, Boreas had a harder time restraining him, "Both!" He kept his response to the mares as concise as possible, carefully shifting to the side and holding Doom Shield's wrists together so the one in her humanoid form could tie their foe.

Once she did that, he planned to move completely out of the way so the one in her true form could pin him down completely. There likely wasn't any way he'd escape being partially sat on... But Boreas didn't want to take any chances.

Eira was quickly becoming overwhelmed by everything that was being said, but questions would just lead to more questions if she kept asking. But she she did know that panicking wouldn't help, so the least she could do is try to direct everyone's thoughts forward, one step at a time. "Umm, if it's alright, can we have a moment to sit down and tak about everything once everyone is stable? There's a lot we need to learn, what's happening, how Crimson is, where we are.... But my first priority right now is helping whoever needs help, "dead" or not," she said with a steady nod. "We can rest all we need and have tea, or hot chocolate, or whatever else," she said, trying to be encouraging.

Rahab was getting kinda loopy at this point, after flying around all day, fighting, getting poisoned, getting cut in combat, and overall just stressing about everything. He looked down at the pillows that Death rushed to him, their masses blurred but definitely sounding cozy, yet he shook his head and said, "Not yet. Can't rest till... till I've finished my job. I have to get them to safety... It's not safe yet..." He leaned forward, partially because his balance was a little off center, and squinted at Death. He was trying to read his gaze and murmured subtly. "Death isn't supposed to be a dragon... That doesn't make sense."
