There is a tug. A faint pull. Something familiar. Something from the distant past. From before the pain. . . Sucking in a sharp breath his eyes peek open as a foot connects with his side. [i]'Well, don't the seem excited. . .'[/i] There's no mistaking it. The excitement racing around the room is palpable. [i]'I'm not that weak yet though. What the heck are they thinking, getting all. . .'[/i] Finding breathing a little hard he sucks in a ragged breath after another kick removes the air from his lungs. They're all talking now, about something. Something special? A concoction maybe? Seishu remains strong, suppressing the shudder at the thought of more injections. This is not the most pain he's ever been in. That pain is reserved for the betrayal and brutal attack from his own blade. However he can feel it. He's taken more damage this time. Internally. But still he refuses to believe he will die. No, it's just. . . .Not. . . .Possible. . . .

The tug, he feels it again, and all of a sudden he feels a sickening, but comforting energy. The door to the room flies open behind him, he hears it smash into the wall, and the snarl that follows makes his heart skip a beat. [i]'I know that voice. . . .So feral, such passion. . . Enasi, I never knew'[/i] Despite the sarcasm he really is glad to feel his other half in the room, though from the flavor of the feelings coming of of him, Seishu sees his work cut out for him. One of them, the one who always jabs him, she flies across the room and the sound of her pain brings Seishu both comfort and sadness. [i]'I'm the one who loves with pain Enasi, not. . . .Not you. . .'[/i]

He wants to speak, to tell his love that everything is okay, that no matter what, he must not lose himself. However as he draws in long deep breaths, sucking up as much negative as he can, he can't seem to get his vice to work. His heart skips a beat once more, Enasi coming into view as he stalks closer to the female figure, but this time it's not a good skip. The anger, it's too strong, too much. He knows that this would break the man, that this fury is irrational, and he recognizes it immediately. [i]'That's. . . .My anger. That anger that was suppressed by the pain killers. The anger that had me lashing out and acting like I hated everyone and sent me into fits of fury at the smallest things. . .He's. . . He's tapping my own anger, in defense. . . .of me. . . .'[/i]

The minion pleas, her eyes filled with fear and tears as she looks up at her guardian, begging for him to spare her and to see reason. To understand why she did what she did and assuring him that the balance would return once the negative element was removed. [i]'Yeah, that'll work'[/i] With painful, slow movements, Seishu manages to get on to his stomach, drawing his limbs in to try and tuck them beneath him. At the door Harper and the gang take down those trying to flee, Jentou and Kaila pinning the largest to the wall by his throat with their flames dancing around their bodies. The mix of energies in the room is a bit confusing, but as he finally gets to his hands and knees Seishu can feel the true negatives around him giving him strength.

Once Finn and Starla have secured the largest one Kaila and Jentou both rush to Seishu's side, Jentou having to be held back from reaching out to the guardian. He looks hurt and confused at first, but a look from his brother carries all the meaning he needs to see to relax and watch. Only moments have passed, the rush seeming to be in slow motion through all the pain, but Seishu knows he needs to act quickly as he can. He needs to stop him, to pull it back, to take it all in. [i]'I can not let this fury consume him. . .Can't let him do something he'll regret'[/i] His second and his brother stand back and watch, pouring as much negative energy as they can towards the white haired male. Kaila recognized at once that Seishu was trying to act on his own, rather than waiting for help, and that doing so meant that doing it alone was important.

They have to stop Crios who tries to rush forward as well, cursing at them loudly and demanding to be let past, but by then Seishu is on his feet. Taking a long, deep breath, the Nightmare Guardian looks to his counterpart still looming over his underling. With an effort he manages to call out softly, “Enasi, don't. . .” Swallowing hard, he tries again, and gets a little more volume. “Don't. . . .Do that. That's not you. . .Remember? I'm. . .The master of. . .Of fear. . .” Rue hovers behind Crios, watching silently. Crios quits at the sound of Night's voice. Kaila and Jentou let out matching small whines as a very slight strained smile come to their master's lips. Against the wall by the door Starla and her sibling, along with the Naginata Duo, keep the prisoners in place to free Harper's hands should he need to do something about the Dream Guardian. As his second, the giant rodent needs to be at the ready to help the enraged man.

Another ragged breath. His red eyes focus on the man he loves and once more he pulls his voice from deep inside. “Enasi, my love, let her be. . .Come. . . Come over here and give. . . .Give me what I need, hmmmm? Ta-take care of this poor broken me. . . .I. . . . I need you. . .” Rasha curls around Harper's ankle, watching from his vantage point on the ground and sticking close to the strongest source of positive energy in the area not ready to murder. He lets out a kitty whine, praying that their guardian will see reason and stay his hand. The lashing tentacles of energy are frightening, but everyone stands strong, complete faith the ones they have been born to give their lives to, to guard, protect, love, and command them.
