"Z sighed as he ran into a janitor's closet propped open which closed and locked behind him... "oh god... OH GOD..." He tossed the canisters aside which caused one to go off and start to fill the room... stupid number code locks. Great ><
!Kane looked to her. "The only way I could help is by holding their souls... in essence they'll still be in this plane of existence, but they will have no part in this physical spectrum any longer."

She nodded, running a hand through her hair. "You are already a better man then he is." She gave Erebus a small smile. "As well as myself." There was already hints of her slipping sanity. Shadows danced near her, cooing with whatever manipulated words they held. "I would very much like to get out of here for a while." Hikari shifted slowly and aimed to get out of the bed. Her first few steps were slow, but she did lose balance and fell against a wall hard. "God dammit," she whispered.

!Rose blinked. "Explain?" Fully please?
Lianne rose an eyebrow. "Z?" Oh dear. she walked over to the door and managed to get it open in a few seconds.

-Erebus pulled one of her arms over his shoulders, helping her maintain her balance easily- I do not know of any safe place in Darkmoor... -He moved to the balcony, and Erebus took the shadows from the room they had just departed with him. An orb of shadows wrapped around him and Hikari, blocking out !Armok's tainted darkness and their warped whispers- Do you have any place in mind?

Hikari thought for a moment. "...yes." She gave him a small smile. Instantly they shadow stepped just into the entrance to the tomb with Armok's lost daughter and wife. The shadows there were much calmer and more peaceful. Her mind instantly calmed, making it much easier for her to think. Yet, she still found herself leaning against Erebus. "He will not harm us here."

-Erebus stared around him in a revered silence. The shadows here... were so pure, so potent, unlike the tainted shade surrounding most of the world- ... -He moves Hikari to a beautiful black marble bench, then stares at the tomb of his oldest sister, and of Armok's first wife- I... I did not think my father was capable of creating a place like this. What... what turned him away from the man that built this? -He ran a hand over the face of the girl that would have been his sister, then noticed the bloodstains and smears. The blood smelled of his father... and not, at the same time. Odd, but not truly that uncommon in a world so strange as this-

!Kane did so... "When a soul is separated from the body it stays in this plane of existence until it is taken to it's final place of judgment. They live as ghosts, sort to speak... That's why when I accidentally killed you I was just able to put you back in your body... no harm done... Actually I think you were well rested..." He continued. "I could remove their souls and confine them to this base... since the body is not damaged no harm would come to us of the future... and when the time is right... just put the souls back and nothing will happen."
Z staggered through the door and to the ground... coughing a little... and looking a little... yeah... "Oh CRAAAAAP" O.O

Lianne had to cover her mouth to stifle her laughter.
!Rose listened as he spoke. "You could. But then we have risks of pissing them off when they do get their bodies back or something going wrong." She sighed. "And I can see some vindictive nature in a few of them already." So yeah. !Rose wouldn't put it past her past self to inflict some damage just to make the woman angry at this point.

Hikari looked around. This was the first time she was actually here as well. It was her future self that allowed her to remember where. She shifted to sit as comfortably as possible, but that was a hard feat. "I tried to find that answer. I am afraid that it is costing me my sanity. Perhaps that is why I lost it all in the future." Her eyes closed as she took in the calmness of the shadows. She could just breathe here. "In my time, Armok is a leader, a warrior. He's something I once longed to be and I admire him for being so strong."

That is not what my "father" is today. -Erebus studied the tribute to the slain Shadow Clan traitors as well- This diseased creature in his stead is not worth admiration or trust. He's killed many under flag of truce, slain entire cities for imagined slander. -He sighed, then looked to Hikari- I can keep him out of your head, but only if you let me in yours. I feel as if you truly are my mother... a Magoiyan legacy, I would presume. -He smiled faintly, then knelt in front of her- Let me be your anchor, so that we may change the flow of this river.

!Kane shrugged it off. "It was but a simple suggestion, Rose... right now even the outlandish is something to consider with time dwindling away dangerously low. I've already talked with !Hawk and was waiting to bring it by you about a rescue attempt of Hikari. If we are not taking that direction then I ask of you what our direction is."
Z sighed "Not funny ><. I took the bullet for our future child and our loving relationship. And frankly I like to be able to walk, you know... That !Rose is a crazy mutha." He walked down the hall with her.

Hikari smiled as she watched him. It definitely reminded her of the Armok she knew and trusted. But there was more to this boy and the attachment she felt from him just grew in her. There was a strong bond. When he knelt, she felt honored, perhaps a bit scared. "I not only hold my memories but those of the mother you know. This darkness claws at me." Her eyes closed for a second and then she smiled. Hikari instantly pulled him into a hug, a tight one. "Let's set sail...my son."

"I don't know what our direction is right now !Kane." She sighed once more. "All of my plans are ruined at this point. I don't know if Hikari wants to be rescued. I can't get in her head. She has to contact me at this point. None of us can get into !Armok's operations without being noticed to speak with her either." Which made things increasingly difficult.
"It's the funniest thing ever and you know it." She kissed his cheek.

-Erebus closed his glistening eyes... The first hug in twenty two long, hard years of life. Damn- ... -He hugged her back, then stood, all business once more. The tears were gone, and in their stead was a burning flame, white hot- The talons of his putrid hatred will not taint your essence any more than they already have. What he has done to you... I will kill him for it. Your Resistance perhaps will not have me, but I wouldn't have them either. Nonetheless, I stand against him. -Hikari feels him move through her mind adroitly... he had, after all, been trained by !Nikita, and had further educated himself to keep !Hikari out of his mind. Hikari's own mental barriers, exhausted and damaged, were bolstered from within, as well as new barriers erected. Clever barriers, hidden and unnoticed, even as mental assaults rammed into them and would fail. Oh yes, Erebus was good- Do your... friends... need to hear from you? Do you have a report to give them, that I may carry in your stead? !Armok will finish bathing soon.

Hikari could feel him inside, but there was much she could do with her weakened mind. She allowed him free access, but only piece by piece. Her eyes closed tightly, fear rising again at the thought of going back. "I want....to know if Celena is okay." He was perhaps too good. The memories from both her present and future selves of each rape and torture was now being read. She fought to keep him out, but her body was far too tired. "Stop, please. Don't go in too far or I fear I could lose you to the same rage he holds." Hikari bit her lip, tears slipping down her cheeks.

Z looked around... Kinda blushing over the kiss "Don't make me bust out in "Christmas Don't Be Late." Because I will." He smiled and kissed her back. They continued walked to where she was going originally.
!Kane half smiled. "I guess that makes Sora's ability that much more important... if we could return to the point Hikari decided to stay we could make it so she returns with us and make damn sure that sun gets turned back on. I was there retrieving !Hikari's soul... when Hikari didn't come back with us... I was absolutely dumbstruck..." He fidgeted with his hood. "Right now, Rose... the only unacceptable action is inaction..."

-Erebus smiled faintly, lips tight. Fury danced across his face, with concern and hatred of !Armok- I am not the same caliber of beast as my father is, Hikari. I could not do what he has done... to anyone. Killing a man, woman, or child is not pleasant, but is sometimes necessary. What he does... is never necessary. -He shivered, then composed himself- I presume your daughter is kept at the base called 'Zero.' I will go there. !Armok knows better than to track me... he loses his men every time he tries. If they can't be converted to become part of my Legion, they are found in pieces. -Erebus smiled wickedly at Hikari, then pulled off a bracelet. It was an old bracelet, perhaps iron, of a snake eating its own tail. He slid it onto Hikari's wrist- This will mute his darkness and keep it from mixing with your own. Show me this base, and I will go there.

"Take me with you." Hikari was quickly finding staying there was a bad idea. "I don't want to risk them harming you. You are my child as well." She stood slowly, her body shaking. Hikari bit her lip. Her eyes looked distant. This was a nice chance to get away from reality, but it would not last. She looked at the bracelet, her fingers tracing it. After a second, she snapped back into reality.

She smiled at the blush and shook her head some. "Please don't."
!Rose looked back at !Kane once more. "I honestly don't see the logic in staying. !Armok will figure out its not her. And then where are we? Nowhere." She sighed. "I miss the sun, honestly." Oddly enough. As much as !Rose hated going outside during the day back when they did have the sun, she sure as hell missed it now. "I know, !Kane"
