Danni could join? Does it recognize him? And… well, Danni wasn't going to say no. Everyone else was freaking out and honestly, Danni thought this was the coolest thing in the world now that he didn't want to fight Dorian for abandoning him for other people. Danni stared at the Entity and he could feel the edges of himself blurring as he touched the Entity's hand, a grin on his face, and turned to face the rest of the stadium. [color=E948FC]“Don't worry! Ain't no where Dee goes t'at I can't get ‘im back.”[/color] Danni promised, eyes tearing up as Beanie's power warmed him from the inside out. The feeling as he ignited, his form and edges fading away, until only a blazing orb remained and the Entity held it for a beat. The hand closed as streams of fire streaked down its arm and faded into the ink darkness between the stars. The pinpricks of light in its body shifted and moved as the Entity froze and a single bust of light appeared in its chest. A sun, bright and boiling, burst to life where its heart should be. Dorian felt the familiar presence of Danni's soul with him. He'd possessed him so many times before, it was like second nature. The instant Danni had fully formed inside the being Dorian came rushing towards him, wrapping his arms around him and pulling him into a tight squeeze. [Color=CC99FF]”Oh may god oh my god oh my god! Danni I messed up!!! Billy and I were ‘avin’ dis epic wizard battle and I ‘ad ‘im on t'e ropes! T'en ‘e tried to Jinx me and I asked ‘im [i]very[/i] nicely to drop it and ‘e wouldn't so I tried to possess ‘im and well…”[/color] Dorian motioned to everything around him. [Color=CC99FF]”’e's not respondin’ well to the connection so far, t'ere's anot'er presence ‘ere but its like its a part of ‘im, yet suffocatin’. T'en Leah was all ‘Do you recognize us?’ And I wanted to joke around and say ‘noooooo’ but now everyone's all serious and t'e fights ‘alted and I don 't know what to do!”[/color] There was a beat of silence as Dorian took into his breath. Looking back towards Billy's curled up body and then towards Danni. He'd had a thought that had been stewing in his mind, something crazy and daring but that could only be done with this immense surge of power he was feeling coming from Billy. Dorian leaned in and whispered something to Danni, a secret only he could know, one he wasn't allowed to share with anyone else. He pulled away and gave him a look of resolve. [Color=CC99FF]”What do you t'ink?”[/color] If Danni had a tail, it'd be wagging faster than a helicopter blade. He laughed, a strange thing to do in this soup mess, and he wasn't really certain where he started and the other began. Dee's possessed him so many times but this was something else. Dee wasn't just with him - he was him and he was Dee and they were… Danni brushed against something quieter and withdrawn. He was curled in on themselves, lost in the space between [i]everything[/i], and Danni couldn't help but see how easy it would be to sink into the waves of emotions and sensations that surrounded him. Danni laughed again as Dorian whispered in his ear. [color=E948FC] “I love it. T'ey'll love it!”[/color] If Danni let his mind drift a little, he could see it all. The stadium outside and Leah taking advantage of the confusion and concern to throw a cheap shot (Give t'em ‘ell, girlie!) and he realized he could reach them all. Here and now, there was no limit and Danni marveled at what they'd become. [hr][hr] The Entity, frozen for a heartbeat as their mind whirled with the new addition, shifted as it rose further into the air. It seemed surprised as it turned its gaze back to the field and its laughter echoed through the minds of all in attendance, soft, affectionate, and light. [i]“And I've been here… Oh! I've been here the whole time!!”[/i] The Entity didn't have a face, but its surprise and happiness at the revelation lingered in the minds it touched. [i]“Well then, we suppose the only way out is through and the only way to begin is by beginning, so without further ado…”[/i] The Entity touched down and gathered in on itself before launching itself in the air with a swirl. A pulse of magic rushed across the ground, up the stands, and out beyond the stadium and flickers of starlight followed behind it. It touched down again and took a bow. [i]“Thank you, thank you! No need for applause! We do this because we love it and we look damn good doing it.”[/i] The sun in the Entity's chest glowed brightly for a moment before going out. [i]“Farewell for now and remember w-”[/i] The Entity exploded in a kaleidoscope of colors. Wispy vapors brilliant in the colors filled the stadium and enveloped the audience, the teams, and everything in between. Where the entity stood, two silhouettes formed slowly - shadows against the brilliant light. And in between it all, Danni pulled on the last of the fading power and [i]ran[/i]. The vapors took his shape next to April, Sabine, Leah, Andy, and Percy out in the stands and hugged them. All of his fondness and affection, all his determination and pride, his deep trust for his friends and teammates poured out of him even if he couldn't form words in this shattered state. In a flash of vapors, Percy reappeared on the field with a reassuring presence at the back of his mind that he was loved too - the gentle ruffling of the hair - and the moment passed, the vapors rushing back into the silhouettes and Wiccan's body and Dorian and Danni snapped back into focus. Danni blinked once, twice, and immediately clapped his hand over his mouth, slumped against the wall, and heaved.
