| Masaru shot up from where he was laying down and looked around. "I knew it. This is just his illusion." He sighed in annoyance and scowled. "At least I won't be trapped in this stupid weak body for forever." He spoke aloud, not bothering to keep hushed. He was still trapped in the dream as Scarecrow had not broken him out of it yet. |
 |
| Sky...pick him up with some defert and cray him to there base. |
| ..... :'( |
| Suzutsuki showed a surprised expression as she looked toward him. "Eh... Are you okay? A-and what do you mean by illusion?" She asked him in curiosity. Her voice showed that she was slightly worried. Her expression of surprise was easilly recognizable. |

| Masaru's actual body was stiff and rigid, with his gear made him slightly difficult to carry but still quite possible. "Fine. And I mean this is an illusion." Masaru stated once more as if it were common sense. "You, yourself, are an illusion. This building is an illusion. And my current body is an illusion as well. This entire world is an illusion." |
|
| She tapped her sword on his head as she wore a serious expression. "Baka... What are you saying? This is not an illusion, this is all real. Nothing over here is an illusion." She told him with confidence on her voice. She was about to say something more until someone knocked on the door. Suzutsuki went to open the door to reveal Akira, holding a violin case and with her cold and serious expression. "It's night already. Is your friend going to stay over or something?" She questioned calmly. Suzutsuki looked toward Masaru. "S-sure! I'll let him stay, but, Akira, why are you with your violin?" Suzutsuki questioned her excitedly. "Because I was going to play alone." Akira told her in a calm tone. "Then, can we go to see you?" Suzutsuki asked in a excited tone. Akira nodded softly. |

| "Ow! Just because this is an illusion doesn't mean you can whack me over the head!" Masaru retorted with an annoyed look on his face. He huffed and crossed his arms before averting his face. He then looked over to the door when Akira knocked and listened to their conversation. "You play the violin?" He questioned, still scowling from when he was whacked over the head. |
|
| As the figure faded away Kuu got a glimpse of her face and more images flashed in her mind. She remembered a dark room almost devoid of light. She remembered being alone for a long, long time. She remembered the experiments, the zombies released into the white room and how terrifying it was. And she remembered her friend. The one before her who brought light into the hell she'd been enduring for so long. "A... kira..." she whispered to herself. She could feel small fragments of the memories she'd lost slowly returning, the haze lifting on the clouded parts and the twisted, incoherent parts forming consistency. She was still far from regaining a sane state of mind and she could still feel the grasp of somnolence though and she still had trouble talking but for the first time in a very, very long time she felt like she had a clear goal in mind. She had to find Akira... |
| Suzutsuki looked toward him with a excited expression. "Yeah, she does. And it is very good. When we went to Germany, she played, and everyone went insane." She told him in excitment. She was happy that she would be able to see her sister playing the violin. It was rare for her to have such oportunity since Akira rarely played for someone. She usually trained in her room. Akira turned herself away from them and walked toward her room, which wasn't on the top floor. Instead, it was a big room close to the lab. Unlike Suzutsuki's room, her room had nothing but researches and jobs. Most of them were so complicated that not even Suzutsuki was able to understand. Suzutsuki walked right behind her and pulled Masaru to go with her. "You must see it. You'll find it impressive." She told him as she positioned him beside her. |

| Masaru's sweat dropped slightly at Suzutsuki's excitement for her violin playing. "I... see..." He said cautiously. He didn't quite understand why she was so ecstatic for being able to listen to her sister play. Masaru allowed himself to be dragged into Akira's room and he looked around the room. "Interesting..." He said to himself. |
|
| As they got in the room, Akira quickly oppened the violin case and picked it up. Suzutsuki sat on the bed and looked with a anxiety. She wanted to see her sister play once more. She wanted to see if her style had changed. Akira's serious and cold expression did not changed. She tested some notes before she finally began playing. A sorrowful, sad and cold song. A song that showed her personality. A song that was strong and fierce, but cold and calm. The music flowed in the air, as if it was waves of wind. Her skills were majestic. Breathtaking, even, but Suzutsuki's expression showed slight disappointment, even though she had a smile. |

| Masaru was slightly cautious sitting next to an anxious Suzutsuki. He calmly listened to Akira's style and though she was skilled at it he could tell that Suzutsuki was disappointed with its tone. He closed his eyes calmly and listened to it, sighing softly after a bit of it and losing himself to thoughts. |
|
| Togheter with Masaru, Suzutsuki slowly lost herself to the world of thoughts. However, when they were both thinking, the sound changed lightly, becoming more slow and slowly ending. The music stopped and the world around came back to normal, losing the air of sorrow and peace around the room. Akira's expression were the same, not even a little changed. She placed the violin back in the case and looked toward Masaru and Suzutsuki. "It's still... not perfected..." She told them calmly. Suzutsuki nodded with a smile. "It was very good, though. Keep it up, Nee-chan, and you will have a bright future in the music." Akria simply nodded softly. |
| Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; - Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto III. |
| "It's near impossible to become perfect at any one thing, but you are highly skilled at playing it, I will admit." Masaru said calmly as he kept his eyes closed. This Akira was quite strange compared to the other one. The other one was much more childish and made cute expressions. Wait... Stop thinking about that! He mentally shouted at himself, managing to suppress a slight blush at the thoughts. |
|
| Akira showed a soft smile as she looked toward the violin. "I want to... Master it..." She said it more to herself rather than to them. As she averted her face away from the violin, her expressions came back to a cold and serious one. Usually, Akira would play two songs in sequence, but she was afraid of failing again. She didn't wanted to see her sister disappointed and for that, she would stop playing for now. "Ma-kun." She said emotionlessly as she looked toward him. "Ma-kun, is good with a sword?" She questioned Suzutsuki though her eyes were fixed on Masaru. Suzutsuki nodded excitedly. "Yes, he is. He is actually very good though he still needs to train a lot." She commented as she looked toward Masaru too. However, Akira simply closed her eyes and averted her face from him. "How long are you going to stay here, in this world?" She questioned Masaru with a cold and serious expression. Suzutsuki, once again, found herself lost in the conversation. |
| Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; - Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto III. |
| "Well, then master it. It's near impossible, not impossible." Masaru commented. His eye then twitched from the nickname again. He scowled and averted his face from the both of then however once more it didn't look that intimidating on a child. "I see. You are aware of it then?" He questioned. "I am not sure. I don't know how to go back. Whenever the illusion falls or is cancelled, then I will leave." |
|
| Akira once more looked toward him. "I don't get it. Why did the me from there fell for you. You're so stubborn." She commented with a cold and serious expression. She turned herself away from him and looked toward the window of her room. Suzutsuki tried to calm down the situation but before she could say anything she was interupted by her sister. "Su-chan. Go out, please. I need to talk with Ma-kun." She told her sister in a quite serious tone. Suzutsuki nodded and left the room, but kept her ears on the door to hear the confusion she couldn't understand. Akira kept her eyes on the window. "You lost, huh? You're really weak when it comes to that..." She commented without looking at him. |

| "It doesn't matter. My subordinate was in danger, I saved her. I knew what would happen and didn't even try resisting." Masaru told her. "And you're as stubborn as I am, baka." He told her. "Also, if you're going to call someone weak at least look them in the face." He said somewhat coldly, scowling at her however this time the scowl was somewhat intimidating. |
|
| Akira turned herself to look at him finally. Her pupils were slightly changed, delivering a purple glitter. "Don't fail again... I won't help you if you do so. Be careful, I don't want the other Akira to be forgotten. If I appear there... Understand me... If you meet me, pardon me." She told him as she looked directly in his eyes, making the illusion around disappear and vanish. She looked at him coldly and patted him in the head as if he was the real kid. "Face him, kill him. Do whatever you find necessary to keep the Akira you love with you. And if you come back to this world. I won't help you again." She told him. She slowly vanished and the dream where they were in, ended. Masaru would now wake up. |

| She could feel her... it was faint and very, very far away but she could definitely feel her presence... she couldn't explain it but ever since her mind began to clear she could 'feel' where people were. When she closed her eye's she could sense the ever present pulse of thought echoing around her. These many small ones are are the squatters, stable and meek, nothing noteworthy about them. These two distorted ones are Ken and Ren, chaotic and without rhythm, she felt a strange comfort in them. This strong one was Scarecrow, loud and like a beating heart, it had a strange sense a familiarity in it. This melodic one was Skyfall, like a windchime, it calmed the soul. And one in the distance, far above ground and even farther still into the sky, shining like a star, was the one she sought... the Blood Dreamer. She opened her eye's and walked back to the tent Skyfall was, a faint blood red light still illuminating her already deep crimson eye's. |
| Scarecrow could sense a new presence. Something completely new. A new sound, echoing through the world of time. Shocking and surprising, yet calm and chaotic. He was close to where he had last sensed Kuu. He arrived at the exact moment as Skyfall, who was also surprised for having sensed the Blood Dreamer. He nodded to her with a calm expression. "So, anything hapenned?" He questioned Skyfall with a calm tone. Skyfall shook her head with a smile. When they noticed Kuu, Skyfall wored a calm and soft smile as she looked at Kuu. "I see you found what you searched for, Kuu-chan." She told her calmly overlooking her. Scarecrow nodded, with a expression that showed slight frustration but was still calm as ever. "I saw her too. Powerful as ever... that girl." He commented more to himself rather to them. |

| Star*watching them* |
| ..... :'( |
| "Its still... not enough... my mind is... still coulded," Kuu said as she took a seat on a cot in the tent. She felt light headed... nothing felt real to her, like she was in a dream, but she knew she was awake. She looked up to Scarecrow and stared directly at him, her eye's much more clear than they were before and dared to draw him into their crimson depths, "I can... feel her... above. In the... sky. Or perhaps a... building?" she said to him, "Its also... faint, yet... strong at the same... time". Ken and Ren were acting strangely as well as both of them were strangely quiet and looked somewhat uneasy, occasionally putting a hand to their heads as if in pain. Kuu's spell seemed to be wearing off somehow... |
| Scarecrow looked at her intently. He was also surprised that her eyes were also red like his. He looked directly into her eyes and sent her into the realm that they shared, the white world. He looked at her with a light and soft smile. "You see, her eyes are not like ours. Instead of red, they have different eyes. She, in particular, has a special set of eyes and strange hair. Her pupils are purple, while the outside part of the eyes is completely dark and black. They're just like yours... Beatiful and misterious..." He stated, reffering about Akira, as he looked in her eyes with a smile. However, his expressions changed when he noticed what he had said. Showing a more complex expression. "S-sorry... Don't mind what I say." He told her as he chuckled lightly. "Well, we all sense her as you can see." He told her, pointing to the sky of the white world, where the shining starlight could be seen. "It's been a lot more active lately. It's difusing some of our worlds and even talking with us at some point. But we never knew if it was really her. That time on your nightmare was when we saw her and identified her for the first time." He explained her calmly still with his smile. He then closed himself to her and gently brushed her head. "That aside, how are you?" He asked seriously but with a kind smile. Skyfall, noticing that Ren and Ken were regaining their minds. Closed herself to them and looked them directly in the eye. "You're not going to leave your princess behind, are you?" She questioned with a worried expression. Her expressions were cute and embarrassing enough to make anyone respond to her with a instant confirmation. Skyfall was a beatiful young girl, but her serene and calm attitude made her look much more mature than her appearence showed to. |

| "The fog clouding my mind is beginning to lift... yet much remains unclear to me about my past" Kuu explained as she shyly fixed her hair and began to stride back and forth within the world of endless white, "More and more of my power seems to be returning... but its returning too fast. I cannot control all of it... I still haven't found... my 'own' world". Her eye's drifted to the shining light in the sky and she almost seemed to be entranced at times, "... I am... so very tired," she told him while still staring at the shining light, "Its been so long since I've slept soundly... and I can still feel them. The nightmares are still there...". Meanwhile Ken and Ren stared at Skyfall in confusion, "Prin... cess?" Ken and Ren replied with confusion and struggling to form the word. |
| Scarecrow looked at her with a calm smile. "Yet you're driving yourself into not sleeping. You should try to sleep now. Don't worry about the nightmares. If they are there, then she is also there." He told her, pointing to the shining light. He then wored a slightly more serious expression. "So, Horsenman, when are you going to present yourself to the girl?" He questioned to the world around him. Then, a man with an armor that covered his entire body appeared from the world's white background. The man was a tall one, and was accompanied by a small girl carrying a hammer. "You always end our fun, don't you, Scary-kun." The small, cute girl said, approaching him slowly. Aside her, was the man with a heavy armor and silent composure. He looked at Kuu with an interested expression. "So that's number two, the other traitor?" He asked Scarecrow carrying a blank tone. Scarecrow's serious expression turned slightly more intimidating. "She's not a traitor. She simply followed Blood Dreamer into what she thought was more correct." He retorted with an annoyed tone. The girl looked slightly worried as she looked at both of the warriors facing each other. "Guys, can we please keep it calm? We don't to frighten the girl, right, Horseman?" She asked with a cute smile. The man in the armor, Horseman, kept his eyes on Kuu but took them out of her after he was corrected by his follower. "Okay, Hammerfell. But if this girl betrays us again, I swear I will kill her." Scarecrow scowled at him. "Betray you, or the Overmind?" He questioned with a more intimidating tone. Horseman simply stood quiet. Scarecrow then averted his glare to Hammerfell, the cute little girl beside Horseman. She carried a heavy hammer that seemed to be powerful and strong. The hammer had infection all over it and seemed to be very old. "I-I've just followed him. He said he wanted to meet the new girl so I came with him to... You know, ensure you two won't fight again. That would worry Raven." She told Scarecrow, noticing his intimidating glare. Scarecrow turned himself toward Kuu with a slightly more serious expression. "So, Kuu. Meet two other Numbers. This little girl here carrying a hammer, is Hammerfell. She's the Number 4 as you already know. And this guy here is Horseman, number 5." She told her, presenting both. "Hey there, sister! So, shall we go smack some heads after you get to know more about yourself?" She asked enthusiatically, wearing a cute smile on her face. Horseman kept himself quiet as he averted his face from her. Skyfall looked directly in their eyes and took them to turbulence. The world where there was only thunder and light. This was only to keep them locked there until Kuu came back. She wasn't sure on how to make them go back to hypnosis, so she simply wanted them to keep quiet until Kuu came back from the realm of dreams. |

| "Horseman... Hammerfell..." Kuu repeated, both names ringing familiar in her mind and responded with a faint smile, "I'm sorry... I can't seem to remember much about you two. I am also sorry that I cannot join you in such a past time, little one, this body of mine is far too frail for such activities," Kuu said showing a rare display of humor. Her smile and bright mood, however, soon twisted into one distorted in pain as she fell to her knees gripping the sides of her head. The pure white world the four of them stood in began to turn into a deep, blood red and from them rose the hideous deformed creatures from Kuu's nightmares. The world wasn't real, none of it was, but the pain she felt was very real... and so would theirs be. Kuu's power were returning... she couldn't control it and none of them could escape her world of flesh and blood. |
| Scarecrow showed a gentle smile when she joked. However his smile quickly changed to a more pained expression and so did the expressions of Hammerfell and Horseman. Scarecrow was able to look around as everyone also fell to the ground. The hideous monstrosity had a familiar yet fearfull resemblance for him. The light that shined brightly in the sky slowly vanished as Scarecrow looked upward. However the vanishing of the star only meant the apparence of someone both expected and unexpected, Blood Dreamer. Maybe it was because that was Kuu's nightmare, but Blood Dreamer wasn't able to stop the nightmare for all of them. She flied down to Kuu's side and embraced her, waiting for the end just like the last time. The nightmare could have a resemblance to a memory that Kuu would retrieve now. The loss, Blood Dreamer and Kuu parting ways because of losing the battle against the Overmind. This was just like when they had fought against it. Akira would embrace Kuu, meaning the last time they would see each other. (I'm on my cellphone so its really hard to write here) |

| Danny talks to Skyfall with his mine"Sis she may be recovering her memory..she seams to be in love with the leader of the death watch I think." |
| ..... :'( |
| As Kuu's power ran rampant more memories began flooding into her mind. She remembered the source of her nightmares... When Kuu was created she was unstable in many ways, the stength of her power would constantly fluctuate sometimes it was as strong as the Firsts and other times they would vanish completely. The Overmind then decided to conduct an experiment in an attempt to stabilize her mind. The experiment worked and she walked out from the experiment almost as strong as Akira... but there was a side effect. Her mind now needed to maintain a certain amount of activity or else it would shut down... permanently. If she remained either asleep or unconscious for more than half an hour she would die. Thus began Kuu's decent into madness as night after night she'd need to hook herself up to a machine that would shock her with electricity every time she began to slink into the oblivion of sleep. Kuu eventually went to Akira with a request, "Curse me, my dearest friend. Please... curse me with endless nightmares terrifying enough to wake me from any slumber, no matter how deep they it may be. Until the day I can kill the one who gifted me with this wretched life...". |
| Blood Dreamer was reluctant in doing her request. She knew that if Kuu was cursed by her, she would have painful and horrible nightmares for as long as she would live. However, she aided Kuu, cursing her with the most powerful nightmares and illusions so that she would never sleep. But Blood Dreamer did not stopped at that, she went to the Overmind and tried to convince it to help and heal Kuu, even if they had to sacrifice her power. The Overmind rejected Blood Dreamer's ideia forever, never even giving ears to her. Months after such happening, Blood Dreamer, having enough of seeing her best friend in pain, went against the Overmind, releasing its bound from it and freeing not only herself but Kuu too. After that, Blood Dreamer changed her name to Akira and named Kuu. However, she had no ideia on how to save her friend. She went to the only one she knew, NEOH, who offered Akira a proposal. They would get Akira as a member of the NEOH and a weapon, in order to offer the cure to Kuu. The cure eventually failed and Akira got captured and locked away. Her memories were erased and so she became a puppet to the NEOH's CEO, Kawazuma. Kawazuma and his assistent, who was called Kanako, ruled the NEOH with an iron fist, they had seen enough potential in Akira and used her to create the virus that now runs across the street. However, Kawazuma had no intentions in doing this for the greater good, differing from his subordinates, so they mutined against him and threw him down. His assistant, the man who was greatly kind to Akira, became the new CEO and adopted Akira as his daughter. Nobody knew where Kuu was by that time, since they had only captured Akira. Akira became emotionless after having lost her memories, something Kanako tried desperatly to cure in her, but failed many times. Those were the memories that Kuu could see, even though they were not hers. She had Akira's memories, something tha Akira trusted to her, something that Akira cared deeply for. She wanted her friend to be saved from her eternal pain. She wanted to heal her most treasured friend, but was unable and for that, she held enourmous sorrowness in her heart. |

| Memories flashed through Kuu's mind. Memories of her past, memories of suffering, but most of all memories that did not belong to her. As she saw Akira's past she could feel only regret. Regret at her powerlessness. If only she had been stronger, strong enough to defeat the Overmind, then none of this would have happened. Akira would not have had to go through so much and maybe, just maybe, the two could have found their own place in this nightmarish world of violence. If she were alone Kuu would most likely have given into despair and let her powers run rampant but thanks to Akira's support hopelessness turned into determination. She concentrated, sturggled with all her might to contain her powers trying to grab a hold of it. And when she finally did grasp it she it tightly so that she would never lose control of it again. She stood up, the imaginary world of her still blood red and tainted with the horrors of her twisted mind, and with single swipe of the her hand the whole world returned to its pure white state, freeing Scarecrow and the other two from its grips. She had regain another portion of her power as well as her memories. She was close awakening. |
| The image of Akira that resided inside the nightmare also vanished with it, but in a slower pace. It could be noticed that Akira was smiling brightly before disappearing into the whiteness of the world. Sacrecrow, who was confused, got up slowly to see Kuu standing up with her hand to her side. He had assumed that she was the one who stoped the nightmare."What happened?" He questioned in a calm but surprised tone, looking at her with a serious expression, that showed slight worry. He could feel that she was more powerful than before, but he couldn't assume what had happened in the dream just because of that. Horseman quickly got up and started to yell accusations that Kuu had betrayed them and that she needed to be dealt with, but was quickly silenced by a heavy blow on his stomach, dealt by the handle of the hammer that Hammerfell carried with her. Hammerfell smiled wryly at Kuu and looked at Horseman with an intimidating glare. The girl could be small, but the hammer she carried made her look scary enough to draw Horseman back. |

| "More memories..." Kuu began with a tint of sorrow in her voice, "More power... its all coming back to me. Is it because of your influence perhaps?" she asks vaguely, the question was directed at Akira who she knew wasn't there anymore. She simply wanted to talk to her... even if she couldn't hear her. Even if she didn't know her anymore. "I'm sorry... I could not control it. My power was too much to handle... I had forgotten how to control it. But its all right now... its all right," she said, more to herself than the others. |
| Hammerfell smiled at Kuu's statement. "It's all right, I also had trouble in dominating my powers. Oh, did you knew that Scarecrow also had some?" She told her, holding a smile on her face. "The more powerful we are, the harder it is to control these powers. But... could you please explain us why where such nightmares inside your head?" Hammerfell questioned with a more serious tone, but still showing a smile Scarecrow nodded in agreement. "She's right, the more power you have, the harder it is to dominate them. However, I think you will greatly succeed from now on." He told her with a calm expression before he heard Hammerfell's question. He was also curious about that, but decided to keep quiet about it. Horseman simply stood quiet rubbing his belly as he looked at them. He heard the question and also became interested in her answer. |

| Tatsu dropped down into the Sewers. He'd heard rumors that the Deathwatch base was somewhere in these god forsaken shit holes, but he'd never ventured down. He walked through the sewer system, hoping his luck would help him find the base. God this place stinks, he thought to himself. "Speaking of which what the hell am I going to do when I find their base? It's not like their going to welcome me with open arms." Tatsu checked his gloves. I have to be ready to go at any moment, he thought. |

| Tatsu stopped. This is ridiculous. I've been going in circles. I suppose I should have asked for directions first, he thought. He climbed the ladder that led up and out a manhole into the streets. |
| My Anaconda dont want none unless you've got a brain, class, and aren't acting like a total hoe.~ |
| Kuu paused for a moment to gather her thoughts and slowly began to explain the mystery behind her nightmares, "The nightmares are a gift... a gift from the Blood Dreamer, my dearest friend," she explained with a look of peace, "a gift of suffering so that I may never rest for if I sleep for too long I may never wake up again. Perhaps I'll fall comatose... or perhaps I'll simply die. The horrors are my nightmares given form, born from my own power and projected onto this imaginary world". She was beginning to grasp just what she was capable of with her newly recollected powers... and it frightened her. |
| Scarecrow looked lightly pleased as he looked toward her. "Ah, so this is your world. I've heard of it but I never thought someone would actually have this power. Your 'world' is a world where you show others your pain. It's a world where it reflects anything you have lived in your life or the other. While mine are based on a memories, yours are up to you to do whatever you want with either yours or other's memories." He explained as he looked toward the white world. His tone showed surprise and light excitment. He never thought that Kuu would be number two. He just wanted someone to play with. Hammerfell showed a slight surprised expression. "She knew the Blood Dreamer up person? Doesn't that mean that she is... The number two?" She questioned Scarecrow, who nodded calmly. "Wow... I never thought that this little girl would be number two. I know that Blood Dreamer was small too, but she is... smaller than her." She said with a surprised expression. She slightly bowed her head. "Welcome, Number two. Glad to be working aside you." She told her, showing a lightly more serious tone. Horseman kept himself quiet as he looked at them. His expression showed nothing at all. |

| Kuu blushed slightly at the warm welcome she'd received from Hammerfell couldn't help but avert her eye's bashfully, ".... Xie xie," she said quietly. Surrounded by the other three she felt, for the first time in quite a long time that, that she was around people who could accept her. The feeling, however, was short lived as she recalled her past objective... her current objective, and the motivation for her too keep on living: Kill the Overmind. Her thirst for their blood was why she chose suffering over the sweet release of death. She had to kill the Overmind, only then could she truly be at peace. Her first objective though was to find her, dear, dear friend and wake her up from her lovely little dream. Without more help she stood no chance at defeating the Overmind and the numbers who still stood loyal to him... like the two standing in front of her. |
| Scarecrow looked toward Kuu with a calm expression. "So, you're going after them, aren't you? The Overmind and their servants?" He questioned her seriously. He was doubtful about her being able to defeat them alone, so he was going to offer his help for her, so that she could defeat them. The Overmind... the biggest threat that he had ever seen. A biological monster created by the ASC with the objective of defeating the undead hordes. In the end, it failed as many other projects they tried. Hammerfell kept her serious expression as she raised her head. "I sure hope she does. Maybe she can do it, don't you think, Horseman?" She asked him as she turned herself toward him Horseman finally got up and looked toward Kuu. "If she does, she'll be considered a hero. But if she doesn't, then what will happen? She'll just become one more puppet of the Overmind. We should keep our heads down, Hammer. The Overmind won't like another mutiny, you saw what she did to Blood Dreamer." He told them in a serious tone. His eyes were focused on Kuu as he analysed her. |

| "I can't afford to waste any time..." Kuu said bluntly shaking her head, "I'm so... very, very tired. So long as the Overmind lives I cannot rest in peace... I need to finish what I started. I WILL finish what I started. With or without your help...". She turned her back to them and faced Scarecrow, looking him straight in the eye's, "Your going to help though... aren't you?" she asked giving him a smile filled with cold cold determination. The meek personality she had developed when her memories were erased was slowly being overwritten, returning to what it once was: full of hatred and charming malice, with love for only her dearest friend. |
| Scarecrow's eyes shone a red glitter. "Of course I am, Master..." He told her as he bowed his head slightly. "However, we're not alone. We have to find others. There are others who have also been released from their bounds with the Overmind. We need to find them before we do anything. Those would be Mind Reaver, Chaos Line and Slimer." Scarecrow told her as he turned his back on Hammerfell and Horseman. "So, are you really going to help the Overmind?" He questioned only to recieve two nods. "Fine then..." He said as he looked toward Kuu. Horseman also turned his back to them and disappeared from the dream. However, Hammerfell stood. She went to talk with Kuu. The smile on her face was slightly happy and excited. "Until we meet again, Two. I wish you luck on defeating the Overmind and capturing Blood Dreamer back. Once you're ready, we shall be waiting." She told Kuu with a excited smile as she started to disappear. She vanished as she smiled happily. |

| Tatsu dropped down into the manhole, waiting on the others. |
| My Anaconda dont want none unless you've got a brain, class, and aren't acting like a total hoe.~ |
| Masaru landed in the sewers with Chi still on his back. He looked back to Ray and Chris who just jumped down the manhole like he did. |
|
| "Masaru-sama. Can I sleep?" She asked from his back. |
| "You can rest, Chi. But when we get back we're going to speak about why you shouldn't stick you neck out pointlessly like that." Masaru told her. |
|
| She looked down. "Ok...." She mumbled. |
| Tatsu followed behind Masaru and everyone else as they went deeper into the sewers. |

| As Kuu returned to the real world somnolence washed over her once again and she nearly collapsed on the spot but she bit her lip hard enough to draw blood and fought through it. She turned to Scarecrow, who was now under her spell and gave him a smile. A smile calm smile... so terribly calm... there was no warmth to be seen in it. The soft smile gave her a cruel bewitching beauty that seemed so out of place on her childish figure. She knew that Scarecrow would have helped her out if she'd asked but now... now he had no choice. She couldn't risk him changing his mind at the last second and turning against her so she made took the safest route. Kuu then looked to Ken and Ren, who were sat on the ground and appeared to be sleeping peacefully. She clapped her hands once, loudly, and the two of them were freed from Skyfalls world. "There are... some people... coming" she tells them before they could speak, "Go... and meet them...". They nod silently in response, they were quiet for now but she knew it wouldn't be long until they returned to how they once were. She found herself missing their strange behavior for some odd reason. ... ... ... "The air down here so damn thick," Alicia said as she dropped into the sewers, sealing the manhole cover back up on her way down. "Now I know we're gonna need all the help we can get here but I swear someone better not have nicked our ride while we're down here". For some reason Alicia felt strange, on edge. She was unconsciously clenching her fists and she couldn't help but look behind her every couple of steps. |
| "Remember, I'm just showing you where I last saw her. I believe they went into a deeper part of the Sewers, which is even more dangerous." Masaru reminded them as they walked. "If you can, I suggest you try to find your runaway comrade and retreat afterwards. You shouldn't engage in a fight with Scarecrow or any of his kin for that matter." "Don't worry, Skully. We'll be fine. Unless Sweetheart turns on us accidentally, then we're fucked." Ray shrugged, still smirking. It sounded like a joke even though it was a serious matter. If they tricked Alicia into turning on them then they really were in trouble, especially in such close quarters. "Also, girl." Masaru referred to Alicia. "Calm yourself. If someone were to be following us at the moment, I'd be aware of it. No one's approaching, yet." He told her. "Cautiousness can be advantageous, however there is quite a thin line between that and Paranoia, which can end you in an instant." |
