"Morning." May said smiling slightly. "We have a long day ahead of us. So you should get up and dressed so we can head out." she added.

Red Star listened to his partner before sighing. "You should have woken me up and rested a bit." He said after finishing dressing himself.

May smiled, "I'm fine, I wasn't tired so I didn't want to bother waking you up when I wouldn't be able to fall asleep anyways." May said calmly.

"That doesn't matter... Why do we make plans if you just do whatever you want based on how you feel?" Red Star asked calmly. "It sucks even more when we're in a fight and I suggest a plan of attack and you just ignore it or shoot it down." He added with a sigh. "We're partners... How about you listen once in a while? Or follow the plan? Anything that doesn't disregard what we both decide or what I have to say."

May crossed her arms. "I listen to you a lot more than your giving me credit for Red. I did that last night because incase I freeze up again, you will be more awake and rested allowing for you to help me. I know that things here are made to go against me and scare me off and thats why it's important for you to be at your best or how else is your useless partner going to be brought out of her trance!" May exclaimed before heading out of the cave. "Let's just set off..." She said with annoyance in her voice.

"NO! We're not done talking yet!" Red Star said as he followed her out and grabbed her arm. "I'm always ready and won't let anything happen to you. Seriously... You're so stubborn you won't even admit how stubborn you are half the time." He continued. "I get it. We're in your mind. But even when we're out you... I swear... You're barely listening to me now." He couldn't gather his thoughts properly. But he felt getting past some of their little problems now would help them when they were faced with bigger problems later.

May just stopped and stared at him raising an eyebrow as if to say go on.

"We need to listen to each other. Communicate. Talk whatever." Red Star said letting go of her arm. "Seriously. One of us is gonna end up dead if we don't. And by thatI mean I'm gonna end up dying having to save your ass because you don't listen to me 90% of the time." He said remaining serious.

May just nodded and turned. She grabbed a branch low enough to the ground and began climbing a tree. She did break off the lowest branches first after she climbed them. She needed time away from him to think. What he said hurt and was definitely exaggerated but it hurt none the less. She kept climbing until she reached the highest branch she could climb to without risking hurting herself.

"And there ya go!" Red Star shouted up to her. He sighed and sat at the base of the tree. She couldn't just talk or say what she thought. Still he upset her. But better her be mad now then end up hating him later for telling her what he thought.

One of us is gonna end up dead if we don't. And by thatI mean I'm gonna end up dying having to save your ass because you don't listen to me 90% of the time

"If he thinks so lowly of me, why does he stick around. He deserves a better partner than me. One that he doesn't have to save doesn't he?" May muttered to herself.
"Yes he does, maybe you should use just a mere everyday weapon to fight the madness. Send him out of your soul. Let him live his life with a partner like he deserves." Something said. May looked around and on the end of the branch was none other than Cheshire Cat.

"How can I trust you... You are known for being manipulative." May said looking at him. "That's in other versions of the story.. This is your story, your soul created me honestly. I wouldn't lie to you Mayy" Cheshire said. May contemplated it a bit but ended up trusting him, not recognize the madness wave lengths he was somehow hiding from her. "What did you say about a mere everyday weapon?" May asked curiously. Right then an intricate blade appeared before her.

"The Vorpal Blade, an anti-madness wavelength blade. Made by your soul for you." May grabbed the blade and swung it around a bit "Now time to go give your partner a push out of your soul, or should I say soon to be ex-partner. He is right about everything and that's why he will be better off without you." May nodded and placed the blade under her belt. She began climbing down the branches and jumped down landing in front of Red Star, Cheshire Cat staying in the branches above only his eyes and smile barely visible.

"Red Star. We need to talk." May said simply staring directly at him, madness inside her slowly becoming off-balanced due to the blade resting on her hip under her belt..


(I hope this doesn't make it seem to focus on her too much)

(Red Star is literally made to be the support type. Sure he's strong on his own, but his goal is to make May the best Meister. He's her support. Her rock. lol So it's fine if it's a little more about her XD)

Red Star simply stared at May. He was a little confused about this. Why did she suddenly wanna talk? And... "Hey May... Where'd you get that?" He asked pointing out the blade. Of course, he'd notice it since she didn't have it before. "What's going on?"

"You don't need to stick along anymore.you deserve a better than me, I'm fine on my own. Now you won't have to save me anymore. I want you to enjoy your life with a partner that's good for you." May said as she began mentally pushing him out of her soul. "Our partnership is over. Oh and as for my new weapon, I got it from Cheshire Cat. He's going to help me through this." May said Cheshire Cat appearing next to her. Red would be able to sense the madness from his body but May couldn't. It was being blocked from her, same with the weapons madness.

"What?" Red Star asked with a slight chuckle thinking May was joking. "Wait... No... May you can't be serious." He said to her before seeing the Cheshire Cat. Then things began to make a bit of sense. "You're listening to this creepy little fucker?" Red asked letting his anger show a bit. "He and that stupid blade are practically leaking madness. I don't know what's going on, but do you really think those things are on your side?" Red Grit his teeth clenching his fist. He wasn't gonna be pushed out so easily. "If you really wanna get rid of me you're gonna need to do a lot better than this."

"Red, these are creations within my mind. There is no madness and this is going to happen. I'm done being your partner. You think so lowly of me anyways so what's the point. Just get out of my soul. I don't need you anymore." May exclaimed giving him another mental push out of her soul.

Red Star remained refusing to leave May's soul. "Think lowly of you? You think that I think lowly of you?" He asked as he stepped closer to her. "You don't know what I think. In fact. You're so far off mark that it's funny. Now if you wanna trust these things and throw me away like a broken sword then I beg you to try. But I'm not gonna leave with out a fight. And I won't hold back." He said and he got into a fighting stance. "I have no problems beating what I really think about you into that hard head of your's. So come on. I've got a few things to teach you anyway."

(ITS ABOUT! TO GO!
DOOWWWWN!!!!!!)

May rolled her eyes scoffing. "Red. I'm not casting you away. I'm allowing you to go and get a partner who can keep up with you. Come after me and I will ignore you time after time. I don't care about what happens to me as long as you get out of my soul and begin a new partnership." May said simply before turning. "Lead the way Cheshire." May said as the two began walking away.

Red just looked at May. "Pft... Allowing? Allowing?! If I wanted a new partner... If I ever thought even for a second that there was someone who was as great as you or had the same amount of potential we would have never been partners in the first place. You're just quitting. Looking for a way out instead of facing me and talking about what we need to talk about." Red Star said following May. "You're just being a coward. What? You can face down hundreds of evil nutjob bastards, but you can talk to your partner without freaking out or trying to walk away?"

"I'm not freaking out Red." May said calmly. "You are. I'm staying calm but here you are following me." May said still being manipulated by madness. "I don't want to hurt you anymore. I was the cause of pain for you. I just want to defeat my madness myself Red. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you..." May added looking away from him. Cheshire cringed at this, real emotions like that would make him lose his manipulation over her. Especially if Red Star was smart enough to get the knife away from her. That would cause the queen to be angry... "Come along May! We must hurry to defeat your madness."Cheshire purred in a manipulative voice.

Red Star grit his teeth. Before they could leave or anything though his hand was wrapped around the creepy looking cat's throat. "You honestly think I'll let you do as you please don't you?" He asked in a serious somewhat angered tone. "Tell me why..." He hesitated a moment. The madness... So much... He shook his head. "Tell me why she can't feel it?"
