Lucas darted into Evelyn's ship, Evelyn close behind him. Theresa's voice greeted them.
"My dad's going to kill me," he groaned, watching Obsidian behind them, a maniacal grin on his face. He shuttered and Theresa hummed.
"What's wrong, Captain Evelyn?" she asked and Lucas snorted.
"Captain?" he asked, amused. Evelyn tilted her head in his direction.
"Yes, Captain, I can fly well, Lucas...Do not underestimate me," she retorted and turned her face up to the ceiling of the ship.
"Obsidian is destroying the Outpost, we need to MOVE!" she ordered, running to her seat. Lucas fit himself into the co-pilot one, wondering if he should help. Evelyn pressed a few levers and they were in the air in seconds.
"We're going to follow Mina, she must be going to Earth, it's the closest place she can refuel!" Evelyn told him and Theresa and they both hummed in response. With a sudden, jerky movement, the ship started to bolt in the direction of Earth.

@stagfire (obsidian uses they-them pronouns and the horror uses it-its.)

"Haha..." Obsidian had already transformed into the Horror, as its evergrowing tendrils started to destroy the entire outpost. The souls that made it up was screaming in pain, as they were trying to escape the Horror's grasps, but to no avail.
Already in its true form, the Horror had already destroyed the entire outpost until it was nothing but floating space rubble. It cackled very loudly, until it transformed back into Obsidian.
"This is just an example of my power." They spoke to themselves.

Mina eventually saw the familar glowing light next to Earth.
"Hey," she said to the group, "I'll be heading to this location. Hope I can see you there." She sent them a marker of the location she was about to head.

Eventually, she headed into a landing point on Earth, and quickly left her ship, falling unconscious in the progress from the stress.

"Ahem," Claire continued. "We'll have to cut this segment short, so stay tuned next for Kelsi's space travel segment after this break!" She turned off her microphones, before flopping on the floor and sighing.
"At this point I'm desperate for others."

"Where did Andros go?" Kite asked, as they saw her ship headed nearby.

"Nowhere," Andros responded. "I never went everywhere." She smirked. "Do you think we should land here? It's a cold planet, but not that cold enough."

"Room temperature?" Claire dumbfoundedly asked as she grabbed her black fur jacket.

"Sure." Andros replied to Claire's remark. "Let's just land."

Eventually, Andros, Claire, and Kite landed on the planet. It was barely snowing, but there was already a layer of snow.

Kite looked around and started to create a large snowball, and then a medium one, followed by a tiny one. "I missed making snowpeople. We couldn't do it back then because we were all busy with out work."

@nightmaremoon12 (Yeah, I forgot. I'll keep that in mind next time.)

Evelyn and Lucas rushed after Mina and Evelyn picked her up.
"We must take her somewhere cooler," Evelyn told Lucas and he nodded, sighing.
"I'm supposed to represent my heroic manliness by carrying her," he said, joking. Evelyn snorted.
"You're disgusting," she laughed and he started to dart to the outpost where the spot it connected to Earth and a med station. A moment later, Mina was whisked away and Evelyn shook out her arms.
"She's getting worse," she murmured and Lucas touched her shoulder, a small, comforting touch while he turned up the radio, disappointed as the commercials rained on.
"Fever?" he asked, sitting down with a sigh.
"Yes. She should recover thouhg, she is strong," Evelyn replied, still standing.

Mina uncomfortably shifted in place. She could see visions of the Horror destroying planets, places, everything. Her mind was getting a bit tense, but she tried to calm down. It's as if the Horror was giving her some sickness.

"Poor little soul..." A familiar voice came out of nowhere. "Clearly someone the likes of you can't stand everything destroyed right in front of your eyes." Of course. It was the Horror, but how did it get in her mind?

"My mind has an exit, how did you even get here in the first place?"

"Because I'm a fusion of countless amounts of poor souls. They're the embodiment of non-existence and surreality, such as your own mind." It hissed out. "And clearly you're stubborn."

"What are you going to do, torture my mind and emotions?" Mina rolled her eyes. "Been there, done that."

The Horror remained silent for a moment.

"Exactly. And to put it shortly, get your own mind!" She exclaimed, before opening her eyes to reveal to herself that she was in a new location.
The walls were this pleasant sky blue color. There was a potted plant near the door, and she could hear the breeze of air conditioning blowing gently across the room she was in. And to top it all off, she was in a comfortable bed.
Grasping onto her head, she felt the warmth sensation of a headache. It was best if she was to sleep it off.

~

Okibi's ashes began to combust, as the fire started to swirl around in a pillar, before transforming back into her humanoid form.
"Ack..." She mumbled. "At least it wasn't like last time..." She shook her head, before looking beneath her. With a menacing smile on her face, she picked it up. The Solar Sword was in her hands again.
"Clearly, I earned it." She laughed. The sword's warmth was like her recovery. The heat emitting from it made her feel more revitalized than ever. It was clearly a reward for her to enjoy.

Lucas watched Evelyn walk away, their conversation abandoned.
"Where are you going?" he asked, throwing his hands into the air. He quickly followed Evelyn and stopped behind her, peeking over her shoulder.
"She was talking," Evelyn responded before he could ask his question.
"And..?" he asked, scratching his head in confusion.
"The Horror was in her head," Evelyn explained, rubbing her elbow.
"It has a strange fixation with her," he muttered.
"Indeed," Evelyn responded.
"How long will she stay asleep?" he asked and Evelyn remained faced forward.
"A couple of hours," she replied and turned, strutting down the hallway again, Lucas close behind.

-

Clarissa woke up, delirious as she was crashing down into a planet. She looked around in confusion, her eyes widening as she realized she was, well, crashing down into a planet. With a sudden movement, a tree whipped her in the back, causing her to fall unconscious once more.

@stagfire @neko-sama

Okibi stared happily at the sword at her grasps. Clearly she wasn't willing to lose them again.
Eventually, she had heard the sound of arrows flying in the air. One of them had nearly hit her head.
Turning around with a burning glare on her face, Okibi clutched onto her sword and noticed some strange archer-like creatures with a gem for their face.

"Magems..." She mumbled, before running up to one of them and, with the sword pumping with fire, quickly flew up to a Magem and cracked its face, before its entire physical form crumbled into bits.

"Relic discovered." One of them said. "New objective: Retrieve the sword from the phoenix." The Magems then shifted their form to be more of a sleek warrior style, with blade-like arms. They then lunged towards Okibi with an arm up, acting like a sword.

"So you're just going to taunt my mind until you succeed in possessing me?" Mina asked after a long boring conversation with Obsidian.

"You don't understand how being a lost soul is like." Obisidan interjected. "I started out as a lonely soul filled with the impurity I had before I died. Nobody knew who I was, and I was forgotten by those who even did." In Mina's subconscious, they started to form their former living self.
"All I am to you and yourself is the Grim Reaper. With these tortured souls following you, it's a shame that I have to face their pain and lose my mind."

"At this point, shouldn't you be killing me right now?" Mina asked. Obsidian was acting very weirdly.

Obsidian laughed at the response. "My 'dream' self is different than my soul self. In fact, that's my dead body that's destroying everything. I'm the dream self, the one who's still... sane. It's a shame that I can't bring myself to stop fighting, and yet..." Obsidian lowered their head. "I feel myself flickering in and out of existence. Soon enough..." Their body began to flicker between their living self and Horror form, "glitching out" in the process. "I'll be gone..."
A sinister grin formed on Obisidan's face, and their voice started to distort. "And so will all of you."

Mina couldn't open her eyes. She wondered what would happen if her dream self got a fatal hit. Would she be unable to sleep? The question makes her fear for her life.
In her dream self, she grabbed out her daggers and began to throw them towards the Horror.
"I'm not buying your tragic backstory, it's still your fault that you're destroying the outposts, taking over planets, and endangering innocent lives!" She exclaimed. The Horror took the hits, and their tendrils simply were sliced off clean, and simply multiplied. Mina could barely hear herself in the yelling of the countless amounts of souls screaming in pain. "Dream self or not, you placed this on yourself!" She wasn't willing to let any more lives die because of the Horror.

~

Claire, Kite, and Andros were already finished with building a ton of snow people. They were already impatient with the relic holders. At this point, they would rather just walk up to the person and forcibly drag them to join us.
Eventually, Claire felt a snowball hit her face. Turning around, she could see Kite waving at the distance. With a determined look on her face, she grabbed a snowball and threw it at Kite at full force. It then turned into an all-out snowball fight while the group passes the time.

@nightmaremoon12 (Sorry for the absence, I've been too tired to get on EC)

Clarissa woke, groggy.
"I need a paycheck for this," she groaned, hearing arrows whizzing through the air. She limped over to the commotion, spying the Phoenix again, wielding the Solar Sword in her hand to fight off the Magems. She screamed and one turned to her as she launched her body at it, tackling it to the ground.

-

Evelyn settled her head down, her hair falling in front of her face. She concentrated for a moment, her dark vision blinking back and forth before she exhaled, falling half-asleep. She opened her eyes, pushing her hands out for the surroundings. Evelyn froze, hearing Mina and the Horror's voices. She darted over to them.
"Hello, Mina," she started, hearing the Horror turn to her.

hashtagnight • 9 September 2017 at 3:31 AM

@stagfire No worries!

Mina froze in place as she saw Evelyn appear. The Horror used that chance to swing its arms at her, forcing her to get slammed on the empty ground.

"You know..." The Horror grinned. "I've always wondered what would happen to a living self if they're dream self got killed." It then turned to Evelyn, until a pillar of souls surrounded them and transformed into Obsidian.
"Would you like me to test my theory?" They tapped their scythe into the ground, before a crack emerged and rapidly made its way to Evelyn and the unconscious Mina.

Mina had woken up immediately. Using her speed, she had grabbed Evelyn and moved her out of the way, leaving a trail of water bubbles.
"Here's a hypothesis for you: You're going to leave our dreams instead of bother us constantly!" She grabbed out her throwing daggers and threw an wave of them to Obsidian.

~

Okibi destroyed the last Magem with a burst of fire, shattering its form completely. She had taken a glare at Clarissa, before her wings flapped and she took off into a different part of the planet.
"Looks like this is a Magem colony... I need to get one of their ships if I wanna get the heck out of here." She mumbled to herself.

stagfire • 9 September 2017 at 12:02 PM

@nightmaremoon12 I'm glad!

Evelyn swung her katana from her back against the ground. A small crack appeared and the earthquake the Obsidian had sent reverberated for a moment before rushing back towards the Obsidian. Evelyn pushed Mina towards the exit (if there is one) and collapsed onto the floor of the hospital room, gasping for air.

-

Clarissa darted after the drifting Phoenix, knowing she had to get to a ship as well.
"There are some smugglers over here, maybe I can trick them into getting a ship..." she thought, skidding to a stop in front of a Magem.

hashtagnight • 9 September 2017 at 10:53 PM

@stagfire

Mina opened her eyes from the dream. She woke up in a cold sweat, and she could feel her heart pumping rapidly. She was in the floor next to her bed. It seems as if she fell off while she had that nightmare.
Turning to Evelyn, she ran after her, grabbing her hand and absconding from the scene.

"Don't try to run away from me." Obsidian whispered in Mina's subconsciousness. "That dream made me affixed to your head. You literally can't flee from me."

~

Okibi made it into the Magem colony. It had a geometric shape to it, and there were guards surrounding every nook and cranny of the place.
She had eventually shifted into fire itself, and quickly made her way into a nearby ship. It too was surrounded by guards, yet Okibi didn't really care.
She then turned into a large burst of fire, and turned into a phoenix. After making a loud caw, Okibi set the area ablaze until the nearby Magems were all shattered. Shifting back into her human form, Okibi ran up to the ship and began to head into the captain's room. There were a bunch of commands that were all in a different language than she could comprehend.
Taking a deep breath, she slammed her hands into all of the buttons, until she found the one that lets the ship fly into the air.

stagfire • 10 September 2017 at 4:43 PM

@nightmaremoon12

Evelyn clasped Mina's hand as they panted, crouching outside of the room.
"Are. You. Okay?" Evelyn asked, concerned. She shook her head, trying to keep the eerie hiss of the Obsidian from staying in her head.

-

Clarissa bowed to the smugglers as they grinned, greedy. She ran her fingers over the ship before letting out a roar. She quickly transformed, slamming her wings and tail into the Magems, causing them to disintegrate. She took back her pouch of money, sighing before transforming once more, a deadly rattle shaking her body. She gasped for air, panting on the forest floor, before clambering into the ship.
"Destination. Almost Earth," she announced, the engines whirring to a start.
