Thundering skies, people’s screams, fire, a being in the middle of it all, and then she woke up. Here again, back at square one.
“There has to be something in this place I’m not getting.”
“Other than like, everything?” Vivian turned her head and saw herself sitting nearby on some rubble, Vivian grinned at her and waved.
“Good to see me again, so. How do you plan to figure out what’ll happen to Alex and save him?”
“Through you, that’s already dealt with.”
“Elaborate because you sound arrogant here.”
“If you’re so relaxed then it means we fixed this, somehow some way and if you tell me too much then it means something will mess up. Like time stuff.”
“Wow. You really put that together, how naive are you? What makes you think I’m from the future huh? I mean I told you about our boyfriend, wouldn’t that make me disappear.”
“You could’ve just said I’m wrong.”
“Ahem. You’re wrong and Alex is gonna die, that better?”
“I won’t let that happen.”
“The world’s not giving you a choice, neither is this. These colors, this power, this lifestyle. It’s all in your future, until the end.” Vivian rubbed her chin and sat down on a chunk of destroyed statue and began to think, in her own mind was the only time she had to really think. To really figure stuff out, it’s clear the Collar can read her thoughts but from what she experienced last time. It can only read what she’s thinking when she’s not here but when she’s here, whatever she says is what it gets off of her mind. So she’d sit there, she’d be quiet, if this wasn’t her then what else could she really get from it.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlRiEc8aRc
“What's the matter, feeling sinking in?”
“It’s gon’ be alright.”
“Yeah… It’ll be alright..”
“You’re- what?”
“It's gon' be alright.” Vivian took a deep breath recalling what her father always said whenever things seemed hopeless or problematic, he sucked it up and pushed forward. So that’s what she’ll do. Onwards till the end. Standing up she’d look around and walk towards the edge looking over it as she looked back at herself.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK13DHe2r2x
“This may not be the life I chose or deserved but it’s my life now and I’ll deal with it, so you sit back and watch me. I’m gonna do it all better than you.” Stepping back Vivian jumped off and fell down into the light. She could feel the winds rushing against her face and soon he snapped awake, taking deep and heavy breaths she looked around trying to gather her bearings. Still on the Zeppelin, only issue being it seems they’ve stopped? Looking around she saw that she was currently being carried on her Father’s back throughout some kind of forest, it was beautiful.
“Alright. We’re coming up on the location of the resistance entrance, it’s a lot to do but it’s something that’ll need to be done. Now listen, we don’t have a lot of time. Once that portal is opened it’ll be closed for two weeks. Unable to be opened from our side, if you don’t make it. We won’t be coming back for you unless the High Council demands it.” Anderson looked back at everyone, he’d never had a nice gaze but this was cold. This wasn’t just some threat, this was serious.
“...Hm?” Stingray looked towards Mina and began staring at her, for some odd reason he felt an immense attraction pulling his gaze towards her.
“Huh? Oh hello, I am Mina. I’m a Metallico whose purpose is to support the Omoths in their journey.” And just like that it left.
“Danger sense, Ashley! Your six!” Stingray shouted out as Ashely zipped out of the way just barely evading a katana strike, jumping back and holding the rat girl on her shoulder she’d see the person nearby her. Two clicks and nobody moved.
“Red Eyes.”

“Stingray.”
“I’m sure you know what pointing your guns at me entails right?” Stingray’s eyes began burning bright as his suit started to construct over him. Towering him over everyone else as he looked down at Red Eyes.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgxdqEnkbS
“Do you really want to get in the way of my contract?”
“You’re outnumbered, A smart mercenary would know what to do against this situation and that’s run.” Skoberi says, looking at him holding a constructed sword while looking at Red Eyes.
“Plus are you even sure you’re winning this? Dude we wacked you with just three of us before but now ya have all our attention and then some, so be smart and just skedoddle on somewhere man. We’ve got work to do.” Ratchet stomped past Ashely and grabbed the girl off her shoulders before hoisting her up and throwing her at Red Eyes.
“AND TAKE YA RAT! YOU MAKE ME BABYSIT HER AGAIN AND I’LL CLEAN YA CLOCK FOR GOOD!” She took a deep breath before glaring him down.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTezmQ8nUX
“Now shoo.”
“I’ve got a job to do and-”
“I’ll be the one doing it Red Eyes.” Everyone turned to face a giant creature standing in the woods. Walking over he’d stand above them all and begin to scan them one by one looking at the entire team trying to spot-93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PfgKFDdNN
“The wielder of the Chaos Artifact. The Collar Of Chaos.”
“It’s actually a scarf but-” Alex put his hands up.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQmE8pQkpb
“Nope my bad I’ll shut up.”
“Do you even know the danger you create with every breath you take? The threat to all life you and you alone pose?” The creature spoke looking down at them all. Looking up at it Logan stayed between it and his kids, Ratchet nearby with her mask on and her bat at the ready. Mina stood between Alex and Vivian and their new assailant.
“Not good…” Anderson stepped in front of Vivian.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS7fFH8hzI
“We need to keep him away from Vivian, if they get too close she’ll have to defend herself and if she loses it. We’ll be fighting a two front battle.”
“I’m not a liability.” Vivian had a bit of anger from the way she was being talked about, she had this under control… She has to have this under control. She has too…
“Let me fight.”
“Get out of my head!”
“What do you think I can do? Move out or something?”
“Ideally I’d love that! All the powers and none of the dealing with you.”
“Then I guess I should just leave everyone here to perish.”
