The owl circled them, and Rand stared at the force field, before
saying.
"My name is Rand. What's yours?"
The owl screeched loudly, soaring up to the ceiling and diving
down. Strait through the force field. Rand jumped back, and
suddenly a sword forged in fire was in his hands, a Heron on the
hilt and blade.
"Blasted bird,"
He growled, and the blade flashed in his grip as he struck out with
Boar Waiting in the Rushes. There was a thump and a screech as the
owl fell to the ground. A smell of burnt feathers was in the
air.
"Nice to meet you too! Rose Velvet fits you, I hope you know."
Rand grinned, turning to Rose. He stopped as a groan rose from the
owl. Rand spun, and the "owl" was not an owl. The same big dark
eyes, glowing purple, were set in the face of a young girl, about
the age of seven.
"What'd you do that for! Now I'll have to wait for this to grow
back, thanks."
The girl gestured to her now missing arm, dripping blood. She
sighed, then glanced at Rose.
Zelda woke up in aching all over her body. She struggled to stand
up in her enclosure doing so she noticed Felix sobbing in the
corner of his cage "Felix!" She yelled.
Felix stopped sobbing alarmed to hear his sister's voice as she
thought that she was dead. He stood up and turned around "I'm okay
Blossom, where are we?" He managed to say through gritted teeth due
to the pain he was in.
"Thank you, Rand." Rose giggled. She also heard a groan from the
owl, and looked at it along with Rand. She saw its eyes turn black
to purple, as she saw the face set in the face of a little girl.
She was shocked to see her arm missing from her body, then watched
as the girl looked at her and said that they were alike. Rose
replied, "I don't know your powers or anything about you, so how
can we be alike?" Rose said confused.
Jackie and Sakura were facing terrible pain. It needed to stop. It
had to stop. The pain was too much for them. Their
cries grew louder. "M-make it stop!!" Sakura screamed in pain.
"Aghhhh!" Jackie yelled in anger and in pain.
"I don't know either! Agh!!" Sakura yelled to Zelda. Jackie
screamed louder than the group. Her pain was unbearable. She passed
out due to it. "Jackie!?" Sakura yelled worryingly in pain.
Felix looked around in horror to see everyone unconscious.
Suddenly, his vision went blurry but he could just make out a
glowing figure before fainting himself.
"No, no no! This can't be! None of you can be together, guards,
take them away! And place them all in secure cells, especially
those beasts." Boomed Boreas.
Leo was dragged from Rose's cell, "No! Rose..." he called out. He
was thrown into a cell with Stygian Iron walls, "Great, now what am
I supposed to do?" muttered Leo angrily.
Fog stayed in the same cell, but the walls turned to iron. He
sighed sadly and tugged on his chains, no use. Fog had to do
something about it, he needed to...No. He couldn't, it was too
risky. But it was his only choice. Fog shouted angrily and
transformed, breaking his chains and roaring angrily. He scratched
the walls but they wouldn't break. The heat made him feel sleepy,
so after a while he slumped down and fell asleep.
Burning. Itching. Pain. That's what Lin felt. Unbearable pain. She
was still in her silver cell, in constant agony. The small cell
walls left her unable to transform, and she wouldn't be able to
without the moon. "HELP! Please!" she called out, hoping that
someone could help her. "Please..." she whispered.
"Leo!" Rose cried, as he was dragged away. "Now everyone is gone.."
she sobbed. Sakura and Jackie's passed out bodies were in separate
cells, until they woke. Jackie rubbed her eyes. "W-where is
everyone?! No...Sakura..!" Jackie cried. Sakura woke up. She was
alone. "J-Jackie.." Sakura sobbed. Everyone was locked away from
each other.
Zelda woke up in more pain then before "Felix, Sakura, Jackie!" She
yelled at the top of her lungs. She started to sob as no one
answered.
Felix also woke up or so he thought. The same glowing figure was
stood in front of him except this time he recognised her "Morher!?"
He said alarmed he wanted to leap up and hug her but before he
could a void of darkness came crashing down behind. With a worried
expression she made a hand gesture and he woke up this time in his
cell, alone. "No!" He screamed. Once he was sat back in the gloom
of his cage sobbing he suddenly remembered the hand gesture he saw
his mother do, it was the sign for the Goddess Anarma -goddess of
all wild things- native to his home planet.
Jackie wept. She missed everyone. Especially Sakura. She put her
hands on her head as she crouched and sobbed. "I'm sorry,
Aaron..ever since you left, a lot of bad things have been
happening...I deserve it...I miss you...I want to see Sakura..I
want to see everyone!" Jackie sobbed, as the atmosphere turned blue
in her cell.
Desire was at most uncomfortable. Not truly in pain, but disliking
her situation. The walls were white and padded with no visible
door. Her chest and arms wrapped in a straightjacket. Her legs
chained together. Her face was hidden by a special mask that kept
her mouth locked shut. Her knife had been taken. Her owl was
missing, likely still in the forest or circling where they were
being held. Her chess pieces weren't accessable due to the
straightjacket. She had heard the others, but had been unable to do
a thing and chose to not even try anything either. Instead she
patiently meditated, taking care of Darling, waiting for something
to happen. She would not wait long, though. She would find a way
out herself for once in her time on the team. She would not play
the damsel-in-distress forever...

ꡖꡇo... Who am I?
Rose sang to herself while crying. Signing always calmed her, even
when she was locked in a basement all her life. Being locked in a
cage alone reminded her of this. Tears ran down her face. Sakura
sobbed for Jackie. She missed her beloved. She wanted to see her
and her friends, especially her dear sister...Jackie cried. She
missed Aaron, Sakura, and the others. She didn't know what to do
without them..Her cries grew louder.
In her meditative state, Desire could hear the others. The
combination of crying and singing from the others hurt their heart,
mostly on Darling's side than Desire's, but it inspired Desire to
find a way free, to fulfill the oath she had made. Carefully,
Desire began to twist, pop, and nearly dislocate her arms and
managed to free them from the straightjacket. She was then able to
remove the jacket entirely and laid it down near herself, just in
case its materials were required. Her hands roamed over her mask,
searching for an imperfection or a lock of some sort. Once she
found one, she analyzed it thoroughly and discovered it was a
standard key lock. Looking at her legs, she did the same thing,
discovering the same thing. She pulled out a knight piece and
managed to call it forth through humming the summon phrase harshly.
She managed to tell the knight what to do by using Morse code
against her mask. The knight easily broke the chains holding her
legs together and helped her stand up. With another round of Morse
code, the duo began to search the cell for a way out...
