It was after breakfast and everyone was about the cave. Dave was making sick beats on his laptop while Terezi listened. Rose and Kanaya were chatting at the table still, while John and Jade went to help Nepeta look for food. Karkat walked in from the back tunnels of the cave. "HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN GAMZEE?" he asked across the room. They all turned to look at him except Terezi who couldn't hear him with Dave's headphones on. "No We Haven't. Is Something Wrong?" Kanaya asked.

"YEAH I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE THIS MORNING AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE GOT TO."

"Well i'm sure everything will be fine Karkat. Just calm down." Rose told him.

""FINE." He said rolling his eyes. He went to the other side of the table and helped himself to some more food. "TEREZI." He called to her but she couldn't hear him. "HEY TEREZI!" he yelled to her. Dave took off one headphone and shook looked up at him questioning it. He just pointed to Karkat. "WH4T 1S 1T K4RKL3S?" she told him, now taking off the headphones completely. "WHY DID YOU TAKE SO LONG TO WAKE UP ON PROSPIT LAST NIGHT?" he was curious as he noticed she was gone for some time. Her face just turned into a paler look at hearing this. She didn't know what to say. "OH… 1TS NOTH1NG" she said to him blankly.

"BULLSHIT IT'S NOTHING, I CAN HEAR IT IN YOUR VOICE. NOW WHAT HAPPENED?" she turned to him now a bit angry.

"LOOK 1 W3NT TO A DR34M BUBBL3 FOR 4 L1TTL3 BUT NOTH1NG H4PP3N3D 4ND 1T W4S R34LLY W31RD OK?" she was practically yelling at him. He took it as a sign to back off "ALRIGHT." He just dropped it there. John, Jade, and Nepeta walked in not long after that, their decks full of fruit they collected. Nepeta was also dragging in a dead shellbeast she caught in the creek in the woods. They were all smiling and talking about. The Signless, who was writing to himself in a corner of the cave spoke up for the first time that morning. "What ever happened t9 that br0wn 6l99d, Tavr9s right?" they all just looked at each other, unsure of what to say. He noticed this. "S9mething happened didn't it?" they just exchanged looks. Kanaya decided to tell him what had happened "He Died In The Fight Yesterday." The Signless just looked at the ground wishing he didn't ask "9h…".

"And We Couldn't Bring Him Back but I Suppose He Is Ok" The Signless looked at her confused. "It Has To Do With Our Game Session. We Would Dream On Planets Called Prospit And Derse. Everyone Had A Dream Self On One Of Those Planets, Except Aradia Who Had None And Sollux Has Two. But There's A Rule Where If They Die You Can Revive Their Dream Self By Kissing Them Shortly After They Die." The Disciple looked up after she heard about that last part. "(=˙w˙=) OH YOU HAVE TO KISS THEM?" She said with a look of slight mischief, she was trying not to giggle. "Yes, And Then Their Dream Self Would Awaken And Fly Down To Be Their Main Self. It Worked With Tavros Because The Human's Planets Transported With Us And Now We All Dream On Them. Tavros Is Alive On Prospit But He Can Not Join Us. It Seems Prospit Is Too Far Away For Him To Fly Here."

"BASICALLY IT GOT TELEORTED INTO DEEP FUCKING SPACE AWAY FROM EVERYTHING. IF THE CONDESCE LEFT HERE RIGHT NOW SHE STILL WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MAKE THE TRIP IN HER NATURAL LIFE TIME." Karkat said as he was in between bites of food. Jade giggled at the food coming out of his mouth and he flipped her off. She just gave him the finger back and smiled at him. "S9 parts 9f y9ur game that caused all this telep9rted with y9u all?" The Signless asked trying to figure everything out. Most of them nodded. "S9 that means…"

"it means that other things are on this planet as well" a familiar yet strange voice said. Someone else was in the cave now. They all turned to see Davesprite floating there. "sup?" Dave greeted him. "Wh9 9r what is that?" The Signless asked, the other ancestors just stared at Davesprite blankly.

"that's davesprite. we each had these sprite guides that we could put stuff into and they would help us along our journey. dave put himself in since hes a time player and ccan make multiple hims." Jade told them. Davesprite now flew in the cave. "you guys were a bitch to find" he told them.

"how did you even find us or avoid being seen" Dave asked.

"I kept well hidden. i heard people talking about a resistance or something and that pink aliens were in it so i guessed it was you guys and I just searched from there" Jade's face then turned into a look of shock. She realized something. "wait if youre here… then what happened to jack? D:" suddenly everyone who knew that name had the same wave of fear go through them. "its fine" Davesprite told them. "i was fighting jack when the blast happened. i was trying to get back at… well you know…" Dave looked down at the thought "but we were both being pulled into this tunnel like thing. He tried to use his powers from bec to teleport away but it wouldn't work. he was stuck between two teleportations at once. he was literally teleported to oblivion." This was a relief to them. It was good to know Jack was no longer a threat to them. "Who+ is Jack?" The Dolorosa asked. "He was the main bad guy in our game. He was way too powerful from something else we did that messed up and was trying to kill us all. It seems he is no longer a threat though." Rose told her.

"davesprite do you know what happened to jadesprite?" Jade asked her.

"i know shes on this planet somewhere but she ran off crying. man that girls depressed." He told her. She just rolled her eyes and gave him a look of 'Yeah tell me about it'. Johns face then suddenly lit up. "hey rose, if the sprites are here do you think our parents are too?" he asked her. "I don't know John but we could check. Jade do you still have your Dutton goggles?" Rose asked her.

"yep right here" Jade told her and pulled them out.

"What are Tho+se?" The Dolorosa asked curiously.

"they're my special goggles, they let me see into eternity." Jade said as she put them on. They began to move and the objects inside the lenses spinned and shifted. She searched for a few seconds before they stopped and the look on her face changed. She went from smiling to leaving a rather emotionless look. "what'd you find jade?" John asked her, curious and excited to find his dad. She just took them off and had the same look "john rose im so sorry…" she said, her tone rather dull. They didn't know what she meant. Rose remembered she had her crystal ball with her. She took it out and looked for her parents with it. What she found was not what she was looking for. There was her mom and John's dad, a table between them and a broken bottle on the ground. Her mom and his dad were on the ground too and covered in blood, their blood. Standing by the scene was The Grand Highblood, wielding his special wooden club. It was much larger that the clubs the other subjugglators or Gamzee used and took two hands to wield. There was also blood on it, fresh blood, candy red and from their dead parents. Four other subjugglators were with him. "What should we do with the bodies sir?" the one asked. The Grand Highblood just looked down at his deed "burn them we don't need these things here anymore. I'M GOING TO GO PAINT MY WALL WITH A NEW COLOR." with that he walked off. The ball went black and everyone noticed Rose was clenching her other fist. "rose." John put a hand on her shoulder. "I should have gone looking for her. Why didn't I?" Rose was frustrated with herself.

"you couldn't have known she was here rose." John told her, trying to be strong for her.

"You went off looking for yours during the game and I didn't. I just sat by and did nothing." She was trying not to cry.

"you were busy helping us rose. you were putting your attention to solving problems which is what you do. Don't be so hard on yourself about it."

"For some reason despite all the danger I never thought she'd die. I always thought she was just a misplaced heroine and had something better in store for her."

"rose…" John didn't know what to say to her.

"I think I was just being manipulated by omnipotent beings."

"the dark gods?" John asked. Rose nodded.

"I thought they had something in store for me, a greater purpose. I never thought that they'd let something like this happen." John just kept his hand on her shoulder to try and comfort her. The Dolorosa tried to help as well. "And what do+ yo+u kno+w abo+ut these 'dark god+s'?"

"They are big tentacled horrific monsters that live far in the reaches of the furthest ring, why?"

"Perhaps these dark go+ds are no+t exactly being to+ be lo+o+ked up to+."

"Well that doesn't mean they're evil."

"They did allo+w yo+ur mo+ther to+ die tho+ugh, and yo+u left o+n a ho+stile alien planet."

"Well that's true" Rose said now questioning them herself.

"I wish there was a way I co+uld give yo+u a straight answer child but I can no+t." The Dolorosa said still trying to help Rose.

"Maybe there is." Rose said. She then took the magic cue ball out of her deck. Everyone knew what it was and what it could do. Rose was now questioning the horrorterrors herself and decided to ask the cue ball. She used her seer powers and gazed into it. She was a strange vision, she kept looking. Then it went black, and so did she. She entered the blackdeath trane of the woegothics. She had gone grimdark, she had gone off the deep end. Her skin was now ashen gray and she was surrounded by a black aura. He hair was white as snow and she looked rather angry. "LALONDE, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO?" Karkat scolded her "M'yl nik krip."

"…WHAT?" He asked her, unable to understand her.

"Mi'nk krilyp ugst ny'ght!" She was now pretty angry.

"GREAT, NOW WE CAN'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND HER." She just growled, mad at everything, and at that highblood bastard. She flew outside the cave and left. "rose wait!" John flew out after her. "EGBERT, LALONDE, GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE." But it was no use. They were off and well out of earshot of him. "GOG DAMN IT."

"Where did they g9?"

"where do you think?" The Psiionic replied. The Signless went silent for a little.

"9h g9g, they went after him didn't they?" The Psiionic just nodded. "We have to st9p them. He'll destr9y them. Every9ne prepare y9ur things, we need t9 m9ve." Everyone quick got ready to go rescue John and Rose. "Feferi, Kanaya, and Terezi, y9u all stay here and watch the cave. Where's the cl9wn 9ne, Gamzee?"

"HE'S BEEN MISSING SICNE THIS MORING, WE'LL FIND HIM LATER." The Signless nodded and everyone was already ready. They all ran out in a hurry.

In the air, Rose was flying off full throttle to the base of the subjugglators. John was chasing her and was catching up. Eventually he grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "rose!" he cried to her. They both stopped in mid air. "M'yll! Nik krip mu'us yllik…" she went on but John didn't understand her. "rose just listen to me!" she stopped talking. "rose i don't know what you're saying, and i know you're angry, and there's nothing I could do to stop you i guess." He looked up to see her with a look of stubborn on her face. "but then i'm coming with you." She was now looking surprised. "i'm here for you rose, through the best of times and the worst. if you're going to fight them then I'm taking them on with you." He held out his hand to her. She looked at it then back at him. She hugged him tightly, the warm feeling of his love penetrating the darkness that now embodied her. She gave him a quick kiss and continued hugging him. "Knryip." And he was hugging her back. "you're welcome." They both broke the hug and flew of together.

At the base, two subjugglators were standing guard outside. Suddenly the sky went dark, and it was raining. "Hey, is it just me or is it raining black?" The one asked the other. "Yeah I see it too." he responded. Neither of them had any idea what this was about. Then they saw the humans, the one now with darker skin and looking a bit more menacing. "Hey there are the humans, get them!" they both took out the clubs and went to attack. Rose blasted them back. Her now more powerful dark magic blasted them back through the stone walls. And inside the base as this went on, The Grand Highblood was contacting The Condesce. "have you made any advancements in our effort against the rebels?" she asked him.

"i have found and killed tow new humans ma'am. I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY WERE BUT THEY WON'T BE A MOTHERFUCKING PROBLEM NOW."

"well i suppose they are rather inferior. what of the rebels themselves though?"

"no new news on that front. BUT WE DO HAVE LEAD ON…" suddenly an alarm went off in the building. "what's going on?" she demanded.

"i'm not sure your highness. I'LL ADRESS IT AND RETURN TO YOU WHEN I CAN." He then ended the conversation and signaled the main entrance. "what's going on in there?" another subjugglator replied.

"Sir, it's the humans. They breached the entrance. They're…. AUGHHHH!" the transmission ended.

"COME IN! front desk come in." still no signal. The Grand Highblood just smiled to himself. He took his club and began to walk out. "well well. IT LOOKS LIKE THE WOOLBEASTS HAVE COME TO THE SLAUGHTER." And with that he left to the entrance. When he got there he saw the front wall had been mostly destroyed. There was a large hole and subjugglators were pouring out. He saw the two children down there with a mass of dead subjugglators around them. He noticed the dark aura of Rose and was gleeful at having a challenge for once. "cease attack." He told his troops, but they did not hear him. "I SAID HOLD THE MOTHERFUCKING ATTACK." This time they heard him and everyone stopped and turned to him. "they're mine." He stepped don the pile of rumble and approached them. he was standing about 6 feet across from them, his club resting on his shoulder. The other subjugglators were circled around but had given them plenty of room to fight. There were still bodies scattered about the sand. "SO WHAT THE MOTHERFUCK ARE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DOING HERE?" he asked them. "did this have something to do with the other two humans i killed?" he said with a mischievous smile. He noticed their fury increased at hearing this. "those were our parents." John told him. He was tightly gripping his Warhammer of Zillyhoo. The Grand Highblood just laughed at this. "SO THOSE THINGS WERE YOUR GUARDIANS? well now they're the paint on my walls." This really seemed to set them off. They were now ready to battle and were greatly infuriated. "NOW PREPARE YOUR MISERABLE LITTLE LIVES WRIGGLERS. for i'm about to put them to a motherfucking end." He moved his club down from his shoulders and prepared for combat. This was going to be an intense fight.

Hmm, thought it'd be longer but oh well. You now see what I meant. So that's one of the first canon moments, grimdark Rose. Also i'm probably going to add in Gam x Nep but not till later. I might not have the next chapter out till after holidays. But I hope you enjoyed this guys, thanks for reading :)
