It was weird, since he was resting on a bed, hours ago. When he looked up, he saw fire right next to him.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZMWVWGL.png[/img] Xaizor: What...? Flames...? [i]Xaizor got up and looked around. In actuality, flames and destruction were they only thing that could be seen in a ray of vision.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/0A4VIEH.png[/img] Xaizor: W-What happened?! Why is everything destroyed?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/iDnx3oc.png[/img] Xaizor: This is bad... I've got to find the others...!! [i]He ran around in the destroyed and burning city, screaming the names of his sister and friends. But the more he ran, the fewer his hope of someone being alive seemed true.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/vBu3sm4.png[/img] Xaizor: Marina!! Rayla!! Lucent!! Tiane!! Someone!! Where are you guys?! Marina: ... Xaizor...? [i]Suddenly, when he looked, Marina was right there. However, she was completely filled in blood and too weak. She was about to fall, but he ran and grabbed her before she could.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ybEVz8e.png[/img] Xaizor: H-Hey, are you alright?! What the hell happened here?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/vaunmvP.png[/img] Marina: ... W-Why... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZMWVWGL.png[/img] Xaizor: Hold on! I'll take you somewhere safe, Marina! Please, just wait- [img]https://i.imgur.com/heMtpFv.png[/img] Marina: W-Why... did you... kill us... Xai... zor... [i]Her body fell limp and Marina died in his hand. However, what she said has shocked him.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ybEVz8e.png[/img] Xaizor: Wait... did she say... that I...?! [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORNTbg3DjvA]Lament[/url] [i]When he looked, his hands were filled with blood. Ever dripping, as the corpses of his friends began to show one by one among the boulders.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZloBkCh.png[/img] Xaizor: N-No... y-you're lying... I... i didn't do it...!! I didn't...!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/eHeA6sE.png[/img] Xaizor: It's a lie... tell me this is a lie...!! Please... I... I...!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/tU390g6.png[/img] Xaizor: AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!! [i]In his last scream, the flames took over everything. As he cried, the blazes engulfed him as well. He disappeared into them, with his voice echoing around the city's remnants.[/i] [/hider] [hider=Nightmare: Is that me? If so, then who am I?] [i]Marina woke up at the ground. When she looked, she was outside the school. And in front of the gate, there was someone.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/MZy8PIf.png[/img] Marina: Xaizor? Is school already going to start? [i]However, he seemed to have ignored her. Marina got angry, but soon the rest of her friends appeared. All of them began talking with each other, as if she wasn't there at all.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/vxiyQ0o.png[/img] Marina: Umm, excuse me? Hello? Everyone, I am here, can you all hear me? [i]Suddenly, a barrier pulled her away. The group stopped talking and looked at another Marina coming from another direction.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/4E4FHgD.png[/img] Marina?: Good morning, everyone. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jqyoftR.png[/img] Marina: Wait, another me? What is this?! Hey! [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7aS3CV9wZw]Id -Sorrow-[/url] [i]No matter how hard she called, no one looked at her. They were all with the other "her". And the world kept erasing further and further, as she grew distant from the group.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/kHFM33k.png[/img] Marina: Please wait!! I-I am right here!! Xaizor, everyone...!! Agh!! [i]Hands of darkness grabbed her legs and began to pull her away. Marina fought with everything she could, but her strength didn't seem enough to allow her to break free from their grasp.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7xeWUYi.png[/img] Marina: S-Someone, save me!! Please!! I-I do not wish to go away!! Please!! [i]But the last thing she saw that "her". "She" looked directly at Marina and smiled eerily.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/2uqEXaj.png[/img] Marina?: You are no longer needed here. I am "you". The better "you". [img]https://i.imgur.com/vaunmvP.png[/img] Marina: What are you saying?! L-Let me go!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/UnP1btY.png[/img] Marina?: Vanish into the darkness... [img]https://i.imgur.com/heMtpFv.png[/img] Marina: No... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! [i]The hands grabbed the rest of Marina's body as the world finally vanished to her. Everything she began to held dear was suddenly lost.[/i] [/hider] [img]https://i.imgur.com/vBu3sm4.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/jqyoftR.png[/img] Xaizor and Marina: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! [i]Both of them woke up at the same time, screaming in equality. After that, only the birds were chirping as the sun radiated their room. Fast steps could be heard and soon the door of their room opened.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/mnb5AdD.png[/img] Jin: What happened?! Are you two alright?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/DEL0dJO.png[/img] Marina: S-Sorry... I... just had a nightmare... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ybEVz8e.png[/img] Xaizor: Me too... it was... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ql2g79h.png[/img] Jin: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ngTQBQn.png[/img] Jin: Wait here. I'll bring you guys breakfast and see with Reimu if you can skip school today. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Qx0nvMp.png[/img] Xaizor: I-It's fine. We sorta need to go to school anyways. [img]https://i.imgur.com/crDQ8CB.png[/img] Marina: Y-Yes. It will be fine, Mister Jin. [img]https://i.imgur.com/9JgZltw.png[/img] Jin: ... Alright, I won't insist. But just to be sure, I'm taking you two today. [i]They nodded in agreement. Jin went downstairs as they looked at each other, the nightmares haunting their minds.[/i] [b][i][u]Location: Spring Zone - Intermezzo Manor[/u][/i][/b] [hider=Nightmare: The Blue Reaper is Dead] [i]Rain fell upon him as he slowly got up. When he saw the whole manor was destroyed.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/M1d5nMl.png[/img] Auror: What the hell... what the hell?! [i]He ran inside, only to see the ruin his house became. Corpses were everywhere and the only thing left was blood in the floor. However, maids and butlers didn't worry Auror. He screamed for someone else.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/zZURtMk.png[/img] Auror: Dad?! Vivi?! Where are you?! Answer me!! [i]Auror went to the most obvious room in the house where they could be: Magnus' study room. Once he opened the door, there they were, dead like the rest.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kw5zURb.png[/img] Auror: No... no, this can't be happening! This can't be! I wouldn't let this happen! [i]However, there was one more corpse in the room. One that Auror couldn't believe.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/M1d5nMl.png[/img] Auror: Y-You're joking... no, that can't be... I'm... [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftvUhPINNyE]Nobody Knows[/url] [i]It was him. Dead. Something Auror dreaded and avoided the most happened. He was dead, right in front of his eyes. His mind began to spiral.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ciEjqb3.png[/img] Auror: Haha... hahahaha... this is... a joke, right? I can't have died. No, no, I can't. I... [img]https://i.imgur.com/QZND1Zn.png[/img] Auror: I... died. I'm dead! How? How in the hell?! I'm... I'm the Blue Reaper!! The most feared assassin in this city!! How... HOW DID I DIE?! [i]Suddenly, a hole of darkness rose under Auror and he started to sink in slowly.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kw5zURb.png[/img] Auror: I'm... I'm... dead... no... this can't be... I... I... [img]https://i.imgur.com/zZURtMk.png[/img] Auror: I CAN'T BE DEAD!!! I CAN'T!!! [/hider] [img]https://i.imgur.com/M1d5nMl.png[/img] Auror: !!! [i]Auror woke up at last. Everything was back to normal. He immediately put his hand in his heart as it began to beat fast.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/QZND1Zn.png[/img] Auror: A... nightmare. Shit... that was so... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kw5zURb.png[/img] Auror: ... I can't die. I won't die. Not until I do what I must. [b][i][u]Location: World Crossers Guild - Heather's Temporary Room[/u][/i][/b] [hider=Nightmare: Psychics, Lab Rats until the Very End] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] Welcome to Despair Academy [i]Lilina woke up and she saw herself into a room different from yesterday. Was this still the Guild? The elevation seemed higher than usual.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/A5qNxbR.png[/img] Lilina: W-Where am I... what is this place...? [i]The door ahead of her suddenly opened and someone came in. However, it wasn't a member of the Guild. It was a soldier, like the ones she fought yesterday.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/2aE5L4i.png[/img] Lilina: S-Soldiers?! Wait, then this isn't the Guild! This is... [i]The rest of the lights went on and Lilina saw herself into a capsule. Alongside her, a lot of other Psychic users, men and women, were encapsuled too. They were all prisoners... lab rats.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/zNnIU7v.png[/img] Lilina: N-No... how did I get caught?! How did they get them all?! [i]Suddenly, a soldier pressed a button and a discharge of energy was sent on all of them. Lilina felt pain as the electrical surge was strong.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/EU8lSR8.png[/img] Lilina: AAAAAAH!!! STOP THIS!!! IT HURTS!!! [i]They stopped it once, but returned to do it once more. And stopped again. And done it once more. It was a repeated loop of shocks being given by the soldiers as her screams and the others all screamed as well, each on their locked capsule.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/uGULka9.png[/img] Lilina: (It hurts... it hurts!! I... I...) [/hider] [img]https://i.imgur.com/H25BZPw.png[/img] Lilina: STOOOOOP!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ab0hoaZ.png[/img] Heather: AAAAAAH!! [i]Her scream woke her mother up. They shared the room for the night, as Lilina wasn't permitted to leave.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/1xkB4lt.png[/img] Heather: Lilina, what happened?! Why did you scream like that?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/b7F2Hy2.png[/img] Lilina: S-Sorry, I... had a nightmare. It wasn't my intention. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ba0kAhS.png[/img] Heather: I-I see... wow, I haven't heard you scream like this ever since you were just a young girl. [img]https://i.imgur.com/gKZUJln.png[/img] Lilina: Haha... is that so... [b][i][u]Location: Summer Area - Forbidden Forest[/u][/i][/b] [hider=Nightmare: History Repeats Itself] [i]Screams and roars suddenly woke him up. The smell of flaming leaves impregnated the area. When Fuindor opened his eyes, the forest he once lived was in blazes.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/2PbGt0F.png[/img] Fuindor: W-What... what's going on?! [i]He ran towards the blazes, but there was nothing there. Suddenly, he felt someone pushing him down.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/x7izBtV.png[/img] Fuindor: Ugh!! W-What the- [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yRymToA7bw]Die in Battle[/url] [i]Once he blinked, the entirety of the beastkin tribe was pinned down by human hunters, just as he was. All of them were armed, ready to shoot at them.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/oRnzqvY.png[/img] Fuindor: No... this can't be...!! [i]The hunters began shooting the rest of his friends. One by one, beastkin were dying, as their true extinction began.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/YTgKA5M.png[/img] Fuindor: Stop!! Please!! Don't kill them!! We don't want to fight you!! We want to- [i]But the hunter holding Fuindor pointed his gun at the kitsune's head. Once the gun was loaded, he locked his aim and smiled at Fuindor.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/2PbGt0F.png[/img] Fuindor: This... I can't... I won't...!! [/hider] [img]https://i.imgur.com/y1Aw25K.png[/img] Fuindor: GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU HUMAN!! [i]However, he was alone in the area. There was no one there.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/2PbGt0F.png[/img] Fuindor: A bad dream...? But... could this dream be...?
