*Appears completely beaten up* They let me live because they needed someone to write the story *Grumbling* Heartless assholes...
Pekiunai- Well she's still one of the Black Mage's commanders and she has to appear some where lol. But yes, things are speeding up soon~ Haha...wait i give a lot of plot twists? *Gasp*
EK12- Well you guessed right~ And thanks for the revive Q.Q
Q2- What do you like about Evan?
Clips: We're still continuing this? Sun: Fang already stated that. I'll go first then, that child Evan has potential that much i give him that but most importantly, he could unintentionally do Freud's job. That child was always there to lighten the mood, so quick to please, always there to help us...*Turns away* Clips: Yeah, yeah the sappy stuff. My reason is simple, he makes a great outlet for frustration. That damn thief dodges to well but Evan screams in fear as he runs that was music to my ears. Fang: *mumbling* Sadist. Clips: What was that? Fang: Nothing, lets move on.
Q3- What do you like about authoress?
Sun: Like? There's plenty of dislike but like...? Clips: Just want to beat her up *Grumble* Fang: Sadist and a meanie!*Sob* i work with these people everyday *more mock sobbing* Sun:I guess it would be the way she carries out this story...? I'm not quite sure. Clips: Well if she lets me hit Phantom a few hundred of times there would be one good point... Fang: Not happening, still need Phantom intact. Well guess that's the end of this interview~
Fluffy Sakura-chan- Haha i wasn't aware that i was throwing plot twists left and right but as long as it work~ Haha i guess the plot twists interest you and are to your liking?
Onto this new chapter~
The Black Mage cackled as he saw what the dream manipulator has done. It was a perfect punishment befitting of someone who had dared to touch his plans. But no matter a backup has been made, currently all the remaining Black Mage commanders have been sent out to various places, Naultius harbor, Rien, Ereve, Elluel, Aurora and Leafre. But the tyrant's true goal was,
Ereve.
The holy beast Shinsoo resides there and by obtaining the jewel on its forehead would the Black Mage obtain enough energy to pierce that accursed barrier which Alicia and Rhinne had made to keep him out. Also with the separate attacks on the specific locations which the heroes have attached themselves to, it would conceal his true goal.
Yes it was perfect! The black mage thought as he stood up, he himself would go to pick up the jewel that is required, this time failure is no option.

None of them could take this battle seriously. They couldn't even land a hit on the boy much less even attempt to snap him out of whatever had controlled him. Evan casted spell after spell aiming for the most vulnerable ones who did not defend properly and let their guard down. "EunWol what happened to Evan?" Freud asked as he dodged a lightning bolt and ducked behind a cabinet.
"I'm not sure what has happened but from what I know the dream manipulator has cast her spell on Evan, causing him to have nightmares and slowly breaking his will. After that did the dream manipulator came to control Evan in his broken state. I don't know exactly how though." EunWol stated as he hid behind a pillar, currently what everyone was doing was to scatter around until they had a suitable plan.
Von Leon and Valfor perked up at the name dream manipulator. "Wait her? This is not good." Von Leon said as he shrugged off a fireball and sliced another aiming for Valfor. As the lion was countering Valfor explained "Unlike any of the commanders, she truly has no physical abilities nor magical abilities. But in exchange she has the power to manipulate someone's dreams, if I'm not mistaken Von Leon and I both experienced being controlled though temporary. However there are requirements to her ability and it is actually very limited-" Valfor didn't say any further as he took flight to avoid a light spell that was targeted at him.
There was a girl's laughter that echoed in the hallway, the dream manipulator soon materialized with mist behind Evan and gave a creepy smile "Now now Valfor you can't tell them what my abilities are that's just no fun." The commander went to hug the boy and petted him on the head gently, her fingers went through Evan's hair doing so repeatedly as if he was a doll while whispering things into his ear, cackling quietly when Evan leaned into her touch. "Dear Human remember your desire. They will stop speaking mean things if you kill them alright?" Evan nodded his head as the dream manipulator snuggled up to the boy once more.
Phantom gritted his teeth as he shouted "Evan don't listen to her she's just controlling you!" Evan didn't seem to hear him as the brunette charged forward and swapped to Aran's polearm before swinging it at the thief, Phantom twisted left to dodge and gripped his cane tightly but did not use it, he couldn't. "Valfor what are her abilities?" Mercedes asked as Von Leon, Damien left to go after the dream manipulator. "Like I said it was limited," Valfor yelled as he dodged a spell, Luminous went to intercept Evan so that Valfor could finish what he was saying.
"There are requirements to do so. First of all her abilities are only limited to one person, she cannot enter the mind of two at the same time. Second of all she must have physical contact in order to cast a spell which keeps a person under her control after she breaks their wills with her powers. Thirdly, in order to use her powers, her target must be asleep." Valfor said briefly before taking off to chase the commander. The rest stood there at a standstill, what should they do now? They couldn't harm Evan even if it was for his own good.
Luminous felt Eclipse trying to take over, the dark mage soon emerged and gave a big smirk as he teleported where Evan was and gave a good hit to the brunette's head with his shining rod before kneeing the boy's stomach and kicked it for good measure, sending Evan sliding on the floor. The others gaped and what Eclipse had done. "Hey stop hitting Master!" Mir yelled as he went over to check Evan. "Heh, you guys couldn't do it and we need to do something. Besides I had been itching to do that since we came here." Eclipse snickered.
Evan pushed Mir back with Mercedes's crossbow guns as the brunette stood up. "Master don't you recognize me? Its me Mir!" Mir raised both his claws up to show that the dragon was not planning anything. Evan frowned he was muttering something under his breath which caused Mir's eyes to widen, in the end Afrien swooped in to prevent the shocked dragon from being sliced in half. Mir slumped beside Freud while sobbing "Master…I never said that…." the dragon cried as his claws covered his eyes.
"You said that you didn't need someone weak like me to be your 'Master'." Freud frowned as EunWol explained while parrying all of the shot arrows. "Freud, Evan was being fed bullshit in his nightmare! He believes that all the friends he couldn't save was his fault! The dream manipulator used that to break him!" Eclipse scoffed "Just like the kid to be done in by something like that." the dark mage then wrapped black chains around Evan as Phantom tried to knock the boy out.
Evan merely ducked before shattering the chains with Aran's polearm and swung in a circle causing Phantom to retreat backwards. Something appeared beside the thief causing Phantom to start in shock as the future version of him appeared by his side frowning. "Where were you anyway?" Phantom asked.
"There is a reason we are not here, this is your problem to face off. The rest of us went to make countermeasures against something, however I will give you a hint on this problem." Spirit Phantom then bent down to Phantom's ear and whispered "In the memories I gave you, there was something that Evan always cast to calm me down and help me concentrate. Use it." Spirit Phantom smirked before disappearing. Phantom thought hard as a piece of memory came into mind.
"Umm Mister Phantom could you please come out? Its been days and the maids as well as Gaston are worried about you." Evan said meekly as he knocked the door.
"Leave me be." Phantom growled in his room making Evan flinch, it sounded like a beast. Evan knew that the thief wasn't happy about Orchid but it wasn't healthy if he wasn't eating. Evan told Mir to stay outside as he went in, closing the door gently.
"I said to leave me be!" Evan wanted to run but used all his willpower to remain where he stood as glowing amethysts eyes glared at him in the pitch black room. "N-No! You haven't eaten in days Mister Phantom you'll be weak if you don't eat!" Evan took a step forward as Phantom went back while growling. "Your final warning, leave."
Evan didn't do so and slowly climbed onto Phantom's bed while gently wrapping the thief in a soft embrace causing Phantom to flinch at the sudden contact. "Please Mister Phantom, don't keep the pain in. You don't have to chase me away, I'll accept you so you can tell me what's wrong." Evan hummed something which calmed Phantom down, causing the thief to slowly become drowsy because of the lack of sleep.
"I know you're angry, I know you don't want to see Orchid but you can't let that hate consume you again. Didn't you tell me that Aria told you to stop your revenge? Didn't she tell you to live like the free bird you were?" Evan said softly as he hugged the thief tighter. Phantom relaxed as he heard Evan's comforting words. "You…really do seem like….Freud everyday….thank you Evan…" Evan smiled as he hummed again and slowly placed Phantom's head on a pillow while sitting cross legged beside the thief.
Eclipse had bound Evan to his chains but the brunette still managed to struggle free from the chains and Aran's grip, Mercedes shot her arrows to prevent Evan from moving but the brunette swapped to Luminous's shining rod and spun in around with one hand, deflecting away the arrows. Freud stood beside Mir to protect the dragon as Afrien blew gusts of wind towards Evan.
Evan just whispered a spell to prevent the wind from hindering him as he swapped to Aran's pole arm to deflect Aran who was using the blunt side of Maha to attack while Eclipse's chains wrapped around the brunette's feet to prevent movement. Evan used his wand and swung it around causing the chains to loosen up enough for him to jump up and away from the three of them. EunWol came and used his bare hands in an attempt to take away Evan's wand, Evan twisted to the side and used Luminous's spell to push the pirate back.
It was then did the brunette realize that Phantom was not moving and swapped target while changing to Aran's polearm as he leaped towards the thief. Phantom gave a smile but didn't do anything as the pole arm sunk into his left shoulder making the thief grit his teeth in pain. "Phantom!" Freud yelled as he tried to help the thief who glared at him to stay away. The other's watched as Phantom used his right hand to hold Evan's head and push him towards the thief's chest. Phantom whispered the same spell that calmed him down near Evan's ear.
The others stared with interest, Freud especially since the spell actually held an effect. The scholar had not heard of such a spell before. Phantom smiled since he knew the truth, this spell was actually unintentionally created when Evan hummed a song, the lyrics of the song was what formed the spell's incantation. Evan's shoulders slumped as he relaxed into Phantom's hold, what had he been doing for the past half an hour? The brunette stared in horror as he glanced at Phantom's shoulder which had a large gash on it and looked down at his hands which were gripping a pole-arm dripping with the thief's blood.
"What did I…..?" Evan tried to step away but all Phantom did was grip the boy harder as the thief's hand caressed Evan's hair gently. "Shh its fine, you were being controlled. None of us blames you." Evan sobbed as his hands gripped Phantom's suit "B-But it was because I listened to those words! I should have known and yet…!"
"Evan you're still a boy, no matter how much you try to act tough and mature, deep down you're still a young child. You get swayed easily if you are continuously told something and even more so if you believe its true." Freud's eyes turned elsewhere at this, if only the thief knew how much time the boy really had left. Evan still couldn't help it as he sobbed into the suit while mumbling apologies to Phantom.
"I'm sorry…! I'm so sorry…!" Phantom just rubbed the boy's back while the heroes stared at the scene with gentle eyes. The thief turned to see the hallway where Von Leon, Valfor and Damien had disappeared to, he really didn't expect the spell he spoke to break Evan out of the commander's control that easily since he had only spoken the first verse, had they done something?
There you happy now guys? *Turns to look at other heroes and Ex-commanders with the original script*
Phantom: Much better.
Freud: I'm glad that all is well now.
Fang: No actually you guys threatened and blackmail me to-
Phantom: WELL then look at the time! We best end this~
Fang: Hey wait I-
