Previously on Children of Omne, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne defeated the calamity. Fulfilling Parliament's will, will the Sergeant at arms take them home or does he have different plans?

Ronnie Anne's POV

I open my eyes, I can't see much, but I see a figure dragging us. It looks like a shadow, it is muttering something "Trust no one, Trust no one but him, Please, Please, Trust the Order, Trust the First God, Please, Please!" A door opens and I see light. Lincoln opens his eyes and we meet eyes. The shadow like thing grabs us by our throats and yells out us "TRUST NO ONE BUT EACH OTHER!" It then turns the room back into its original state, free of calamitous freaks and elemental creatures.

I see the sergeant at arms, waiting for us. He says "You did it kids! I am so proud of you. Let me get you to Parliament." He picks me and Lincoln up and says "Why do you two feel wet? I'm trying to say this as normal as possible." I look down and see blood dripping. I manage to mutter "blood" he starts yelling "Medic!" He yells into his radio. "We need a trauma team ASAP!" My eyes start to flutter as he lays us on the ground and says "OVER HERE!" Multiple doctors start to work on us. My eyes close.

My eyes flutter open. I look down and see my clothes stained with blood, but bandages on my wounds. I look around and see Lincoln, in the same condition as I am. I see a ghostly figure, that looks like a nurse. My eyes meet with her. She then yells "Sergeant at arms! One of them has awakened." He walks in and says "good!" Lincoln starts to open his eyes. He groans and looks at me. A smile appears on his face. Then he says "You look like heck." I reply "You aren't much better Lame-o."

I look at the at the sergeant at arms. I see a flash and the room turns from a modern hospital to an old primitive one, and the sergeant at arms, is dressed in an outfit a pilgrim might have worn. He says "Guilty! Burn the witch!" I blink, the room, and the sergeant at arms return to normal. He says "Alright you two, before we return back to your bodies, Parliament would like to give you a standing ovation. I say "What was that?" He replies "What was what?" I reply "Don't pretend you don't know what I am talking about." The sergeant at arms says "Can they stand?"

The nurse replies "Yes, but they will carry their injuries with them to their physical bodies. Their bodies will repair them, in 24 hours give or take. Whereas here, it would take months, maybe even a year." I yell "HEY ANSWER ME!" He replies concerned "You didn't ask a question." I reply "Yes I did, what happened with that light?" he says to the nurse, "Was there any hallucinogens in the medicine you used?"

The nurse quips "Of course not! I only use the finest of medical materials along with something someone suggested called energized protodermis" He replies "That person told you to use what?! Now I'm officially concerned. Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, get up. Now." The Nurse says "Uh, I don't know if that's a good idea." The Sergeant at Arms, says "I don't care, they need to get out of here. Who knows what will happen to them with that material in their bloodstream." The Nurse replies "Fine, but you need to keep them hooked up to their Hydration IV."

The Sergeant replies "That's Fine!" The Sergeant at arms drags us out of bed, and then brings us to a large chute. He pushes us with the IV into the chute, the strange liquid pushing us up, into a giant system for pipes. The Vacuum, fires us into the into a giant padded room, with several other chutes. We step out with our IV's still stuck in us. The Sergeant at Arms, comes through. He walks ahead and says "This way we need to get your out of is only one way out of this soul realm and that is in the Great Temple. But first, Parliament.

He leads us down several security checkpoints. I see one of the lunatics, being lead away into an elevator with a straight jacket." We walk into a door that leads is to what I assume is the Sergeant at Arms entry way, there are several different kind of advanced guns. He goes out a door us barely keeping up him. The floor is active as they are debating something unknown. He presses the door. The TV with the Parliament speaker turns on with the sergeant on the screen. The Prime Minister says "Sergeant At Arms is recognized by the chair, for what purpose do you wish to speak forth?" He replies "Mr. Prime Minister, I am fulfilling Parliaments will. I have here Lincoln Loud and Ronnie Anne Santiago, the two who have freed you from the Calamity, now calling himself Magatsu." The prime Minister replies, "Yes thank you, once this session is over, I wish to speak to rescuers privately. For now I would like Parliament to vote on the motion for a round of applause for our new friends and allies."

I scan the room and I see in a chair a weeping angel, it looks like the one that was hollow in the room back at the station. I blink and it looks back at. I yell "WEEPING ANGEL!" The prime minister looks directly at me and immediately says "Yes that is one of the members of the governing party. I will not have outbursts here. Not now. The MP is harmless, well at least here. It has no quarrel with and no incentive to try and send you back in time. Plus even if it tried, it wouldn't work. The question is on the motion, is there a sufficient period? There appears to be, the question is; will parliament give an applause to our visitors? Ayes will vote in the affirmative, while Nay's in the negative. the voting is now open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record on the motion the government voted yes, one voted no, the opposition votes no one voting yes. The motion is passed and parliament will give our guest a round of applause." The whole parliament starts clapping. The noise gets louder and louder. There is a flash.

My eyes adjust and the world has seemingly devolved to that of a courtroom. A female spirit is on its knees. The Prime Minister is now dressed in a Whig and dark robe instead of his usual suit says "look how the angel weeps! Look! Angel, why are you weeping? (I look at the weeping angel covering its eyes. when I blink the angel points at the spirit)You have been unanimously convicted of dark witchcraft. Wishing to have mercy to you, I sentence you to hang by the neck until you are dead, but will let your family live. May one day you be released from your contract and your soul released to heaven where the lord may have mercy on your soul. The crowd starts cheering "Guilty, Guilty, your fault, you killed them!" The prime minister bangs his Gavel "send in the next prisoners! How more and long must I end these lives before I break." The room flashes back and everyone is bent over in pain. I yell "what is going on!" The sergeant at arms says "a depressive episode, he blames himself for destroying something close to him in his childhood. Yet his psychopathology makes him blame others. I can't fight for much." The room flashes back.

The sergeant at arms is in a suit of armor this time. He says "My lord these people are accused of witchcraft. Just look at this device." Pointing to the IV. The Prime Minister says "Bailiff, these children are injured and are merely using them to help upright themselves. (He forces his hands to his hand before setting them down) Very well! Lincoln Loud you are accused of allowing a chain of events that led to the destruction of the alpha omniverse and causing the calamity to make us kill two dimensions. How do you plead?" I try and speak. He yells back "Women are not allowed to SPEAK IN COURT TO THE JUDGE! IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TELL YOUR HUSBAND AND LET THIS BE A WARNING TO YOU! Unless you wish to join him in his punishment." Lincoln speaks up and says before looking at me confused, "Not Gulity! Wait, husband?"

The judge replies "Very well! The evidence will be weighed." An unknown demon gets on the prosecutors desk and says "I submit exhibit A, they have a magical neo-arcane gauntlet devices in their arms. Prosecution rests." The judges says "Guilty!" Lincoln looks at me says "Run!" He lights an old looking grenade and the courtroom gasps. The judge yells "Bailiff stop them!l It goes off and releases foul smoke. I start coughing, but Lincoln starts pulling me out. We exit the court room door, and Lincoln grabs, lights and throws another grenade at Bailiff(formerly the sergeant at arms) It goes off releasing more smoke as we try and run through the hallways. I say to Lincoln "Where did you get those things?" He replies "Swiped some smoke grenades from the Sergeant at Arms' armor, but then they devolved into these. I don't how they changed back though." He continues, "The only way in and out of this place is the door leading out to the streets or the chutes and we have to get to that Great Temple he mentioned by using the streets or the chutes."

Yelling is heard. Someone yells "Sound the alarms!" Bells start chiming. People start rushing into the courtroom. There eyes glossy, and almost brain washed. Lincoln lights another grenade and throws it at them. Before detonating , the grenade evolves back to its old form before being upgraded further while a man yells, "May the First God have mercy on you!" And tries to slash us. The room flashes and everyone is doubled over in pain. Smoke starts to be released with the room flashing again. The man goes back into this old clothing with he starts choking on the smoke, Lincoln and I start running away from the front door. We run into a room trying to find a map. The room we run into is a room with cages with several spirits and citizens in them. They start crying, "I am not practicing witchcraft!" I look down the hall and see guards with the female prisoner we saw in the court. They are writing something in a book.

I can hear them saying, "Alright, the route to the religious section of Ga-Metru is boat 5," the sound of a bell sounds and they one of the guards says "Boat 5 is in, let's get you out of here and to the gallows." They open a door down the hall and push her through the door. The guard on the rear turns back and closes the door. Then I look at Lincoln and say "this must be the dungeon." A prisoner shackled to the wall. Says "Right you are ma'm. We have been here for days, some of us weeks. All the same charge; witchcraft." I reply to him, "We can get you out of here, we're trying to reach a place called the Great Temple." The prisoner says "Even if you did, that jailer Oskar Blokhin would hunt us down like Rahi and make hangings seem merciful to your eyes. (His face turns into a twisted grin.) In fact if I turn you in the court might have mercy on me, or maybe even a last meal. OSKAR, OSKAR, THE CRIMINALS ARE HERE!"

I turn around and hear a groan then a blood curdling yell "ALL OF THE DEVIL'S PAWNS MUST DIE!" Then we hear the sound of a giant step. Lincoln says "Feel like fighting?" I shake my head. He replies "Me neither, run!" We try and open the door to get out, but it is looked. The prisoner starts laughing and saying "it's protecting by the lord's magic, you can only go out if it's your court date or you're found innocent." Me and Lincoln run down the hall and see 3 doors making a crucifix-like hallway. A prisoner on the left side whispers to us, "Don't go this way he'll catch you. Go right." We run down the hall and try to get the door to the boats to open and it doesn't. The footsteps starts getting closer. Lincoln tells me, "Let's try the right."

We run down the hallway and we can see the shadow of a giant monster of a man. His eyes green, glowing like a cat or a snakes. The guard yells "The devil's servants must die. No survivors, no survivors." We open the door and then close it. We hear the guard open the door, he walks to the prisoner that ratted us out. The guard says to the prisoner "Where are they?" The prisoner says "They ran away, How am I supposed to know?" The guard replies "devil's minion lies." The prisoner replies "No, No, I am not lying, ask the others and they will give the same obvious answer" The guard opens the cell and then says "I will remove your snake tongue." The entrance door opens and we hear people walk in and I hear the PM's voice say "Guard Blokhin, what is the meaning of this!"

The guard replies, "Your honor, the devil's minion lies, says prisoner escapes, I have checked cells no prisoner escaped." The PM replies "He doesn't lie, two condemned prisoners have escaped. They may still be here." The guard says "I will find them and carry out their death sentences." The PM says "Do what you want with them, but keep them alive, I want them to know pain and suffering for the rest of their pathetic lives. Death would simply be a mercy, especially if they favor them so highly. Now as for you prisoner, you will be moved on the docket to next. I will expect a very high burden for the prosecution. Though if they meet, I will burn you at the stake you RAT!" The prisoner says "but but but!" The PM replies "They lit this inferno, let them burn with it. Guards, bring the next prisoner." I hear the sound of a cell opening an another prisoner saying "P- please. I don't know anything." The PM says "Then prove it in court. Let's see if you're more honest than the others."

First a sentient calamity, now depression. What will come next? Until then, PM, review, favorite, and follow. You are the true hero and your legend is now. What do you think of the new phrase?
