"Hm so this is where you disappeared off to, didn't think you were still alive after rotting in my prison for almost 3 sweeps. I'm actually quite surprised to see you here with this lot," The Condesce's bored face said otherwise.

"Well BITCHTITS when you see an opportunity, YOU MOTHERFUCKING TAKE IT."

"Still crude as ever," The Condesce gave him a disgusted look, "Don't move now or else."

A few guards got closer to Gamzee and the Capricorn growled at them while holding Tavros closer to himself.

"Or else what? You'd KILL YOUR OWN MOTHERFUCKING SON!?"

"I have no son, just a daughter."

"Well guess what GO RIGHT AHEAD. I am no motherfucking father. I'M NOT FRIENDS WITH THESE PEASANT BLOODS. They have nothing to do with me SO WHY SHOULD I MOTHERFUCKING CARE."

Her Imperious Condescension just glared before waving her hand towards him. The guards that weren't surrounding the group rushed forwards towards The Grand Highblood and he easily smacked them away. A few guards pointed their weapons closer to the kids and the elder Capricorn began to run through as many as he could, smacking them away like a charging bull.

The adults took this chance to break free and get the other guards away from the others. All but The Handmaid who went straight for The Condesce. The two clashed, trident blocking two wands and sparks flew.

"I am going to kill you this time," The Handmaid's eyes burned with fury.

"That's my line bitch and I'm not going to let you get away a third time. I'll make sure you'll be counting woolbeast for the rest of your life," The Condesce pushed back and the powerful match began.

"Kill evveryone but the mutant and bring him here!" Dualscar ordered.

"NO STOP! STOP THIS!" Feferi screamed and struggled in Eridan's hold.

"Eridan, get her out of here," Dualscar ordered.

"No Eridan we have to help them! We can't let it come to this! We have to stop this!" Feferi cried. Eridan stayed silent as he pulled her out, he didn't even look back.

A guard grabbed Karkat by the hair and pulled him up, "All this mess for a disgusting lowblooded mutant."

"Your face will be a mess if you don't put him down!" John threatened.

The guard just laughed, "And what can a puny human like you do?"

His answer was John's hammer to his face. Karkat was let go and John caught him, "John you have to leave now."

"You think I can leave you like this? Forget it I'm not going to listen to your fucking arguments so shut up until we're all safe again," John demanded. In a situation like this, they could really use the help.

"Everyone this way!" The Summoner called. He was by a large broken window, beckoning everyone to escape through there.

"AA, my dad!" Sollux called. He felt utterly useless being stuck in that chair and being defended by Aradia and Dave.

"I'll get him. Dave get Sollux out of here," Aradia flew up and Dave nodded.

"No my dad! Him firth't!"

"She can get him by herself, she' strong. Sorry this is going to hurt," Dave immediately hoisted Sollux out of his chair causing the Gemini to wince and gasp in pain before flying towards the broken window.

Gamzee and Tavros were standing back to back and were surrounded by a bunch of guards. Everyone else was busy with their own groups so there were stuck on their own. Well that was until The Grand Highblood ran and bowled half of them over. He then proceed to pick up Tavros and chuck the boy through the air before the little Taurus or Gamzee could do anything about it.

"HEY SHITBLOOD, HEADS UP."

The Summoner turned to see Tavros fly towards him and he almost dropped the frightened troll instead of catching him upon impact.

"P-Pops?" Gamzee gave his father a confused glance before fending off other attackers.

"Your turn," The Grand Highblood picked Gamzee up and tossed him at The Summoner as well. Instead of being caught, Gamzee just toppled The Summoner over instead.

"Dad! Gamzee! Are you alright?" Tavros asked worriedly as he swung his lance around.

"Fucking hell Highblood you do not play catch with kids!" The Summoner grumbled as he got up, "Tavros take him and get out of here call as many creatures as you can to get ready and get us out of here I'll stay back to make sure no one follows you and the rest gets out."

"Uh o-okay," Tavros helped Gamzee up and climbed out the window. The two took a few seconds to scan the crazy fight and watch The Highblood smack some more guards around before running of towards the beach.

John attempted to just fly Karkat over to the window but a few guards grabbed their legs and pulled them down making them fight. Aradia managed to pull The Psiionic away from the battle between The Condesce and Handmaid. The Dolorosa and Jade helped the wounded troll out as Aradia went back to her mother.

"Kanaya where are you going?" The Dolorosa asked when she saw Kanaya head in a different direction with Rose.

"Don't worry mother just go! I have to get the matriorb!" Kanaya pulled out her lipstick and changed it into a chainsaw. A couple of guards that were approaching to stop them stood before her and stepped back once she revved her weapon.

Karkat was distracted from watching Kanaya cut a row of guards in half when another one came up to his side and attempted to knock him out.

"I don't think so!" Nepeta jumped in and clawed at the guard's arm causing him to drop his weapon, "You're not going to get to my brother unless you get through me first!"

Her eyes were narrow and constricted showing the animalistic feral in her gaze.

A guard flew above them and Equius appeared at her side, knuckles covered in colours, "We must make haste to the exit. We will not be able to keep this up for much longer."

A few more guards fell around them from being shot down by Darkleer's mighty bow, but more continued to come. Their amount was endless and in a few minutes they could be taken over.

The scourge family plus Zylpha seemed to be faring better than them. They were slowly inching closer to the exit as they fought. Back to Kanaya, she had successfully gotten to the lobby desk and she hopped behind it while Rose protected her. When she came up again the matriorb was in her hands. The Condesce saw it from the corner of her eye and she managed to redirect a blast from The Handmaid towards Kanaya. It didn't get far though. Aradia levitated a couch to intercept the attack just as it was redirected.

"Do you think you can win just because your daughter joins in?" The Condesce chuckled.

"Mother we must leave now," Aradia exclaimed, "I'll stop everyone like before, but you must leave."

"Oh I don't glubbing think so. Dualscar!"

Upon hearing his name the elder Aquarius pulled out a strange looking device. It was palm size and looked like some strange black cubed object. Once he turned it on, it made a strange whirring noise.

"Wh-what's going on?" Aradia panickly looked herself over. Her wings and her red outfit disappeared and her normal clothes were back.

"Ah what the hell?" John cried in surprise when his blue pajamas were replaced with ordinary clothes as well. He raised his hands towards the guards and nothing happened, "I-I can't do the windy thing."

He ducked when the guards attacked but they were quickly blasted away. Rose from beside the exit had sniped them from there with one of her wands. Her yellow hooded outfit was replaced with her dark dress as well, "John hurry get over here! That strange device is blocking our powers!"

"Oh crap this is bad! I can't fly either!"

Karkat looked around, they were too far from the exit but they were near the stairs. That gave him an idea, "You guys just go ahead! We'll go this way!"

Karkat pointed at the stairs and Rose nodded. Karkat led Equius, Nepeta and John up the stairs. It would be easier to get to the roof and escape on one of the dragon's or Zylpha's lusus. Rose escaped with Kanaya and the scourge family made it to the exit as well.

"Mother everyone has left, we must go!" Aradia pulled on her mother's arm.

"Don't think I will let you get away!" The Condesce charged forward with her trident but The Grand Highblood caught her mid lunge. He picked up the trident, lifting up the Condesce along with it and threw her across the room right into Dualscar.

"This party is motherfucking over," when the large troll turned to the ladies, they just stared back at him, "GET OUT MOTHERFUCKING BITCHTITS. YOU WANT TO GET CULLED ON THE SPOT!?"

The Handmaid took a step back and pulled Aradia close when he yelled at them. Once he was done she looked around and flew out the broken window with her daughter.

"Now I can finally go all out," tThe Grand Highblood cracked his knuckles and a large fanged grin grew on his face.

"Pops don't fight! Come with us!" Gamzee called from the window. A guard chucked a spear at the window and Gamzee dodged before chucking one of his clubs at the guy's face hard, "Pops come on!"

The Grand Highblood chuckled, "Guess it's time to change."

"We're here!" Nepeta slammed the door of the roof open and ran out. Equius and John followed after, the two were helping Karkat for his ankle began to hurt too much from all the strain he was putting on it. The Leo ran over to the edge of the roof and looked down. At the beach were some water creatures with everyone else riding on them, a few were still escaping towards the beach like Gamzee and his father. Above were Mindfang and Redglare riding on their dragon. Jade and Dave appeared to have lost their clothes with special powers as well. Also near them were a few dead lusus that looked like they belonged to the imperial guards. Eridan was riding his lusus with Feferi near them.

"Eridan's on our side again!" Nepeta cheered.

"Jump you guys!" Terezi called, Nepeta looked straight down and saw the scourge sisters below. Dragonmom and Zylpha's lusus were waiting with them. It would be awkward for the dragon to fly and catch them from the side of the building like that because its wings were wide so it waited on the ground.

"Is Zylpha with you!?"Vriska asked.

"No! I thought she was with you!" Nepeta became worried. Vriska cursed to herself.

"There's no time! She can take care of herself or she went and hid. You guys have to jump now!"

"Just jump Nepeta!" Karkat called. The roof door burst open again and guards ran through.

"But Zlypha!"

"Equius!" Karkat yelled at the Sagittarius. The strong troll nodded, picked Nepeta up and jumped off. Karkat and John were going to jump next but a chain suddenly wrapped around Karkat's leg.

"Karkat!" John panicked and crouched down but Karkat pulled him up.

"Jump!"

"No Karkat I'm not leavmrph!?" Karkat pulled John into a quick kiss before pushing the boy off the edge. John was too confused to cry out afterwards.

"Where's Karkat!?" Nepeta asked frantically.

"He . . . up top . . . still caught," John let out breathlessly. He didn't realize how out of breath he was.

"Shit get on!" Terezi called and the rest filed onto Dragonmom while Vriska got onto Zylpha's lusus. They all flew up over the roof to find all the guards that weren't wounded or dead, surrounding Karkat who was kneeling and wrapped up in a chain.

"Get out of here!" Karkat called to them.

"No Karkat! Terezi we have to save him," John urged the troll, "Quick we just gotta- Watch out!"

A beam of energy almost hit them, it barely grazed the dragon who growled at the attacker. Dualscar readied his gun again.

"We can't I'm sorry," Terezi with great regret and clenched fists led Dragonmom towards the sea.

"NO! Terezi no! Turn around! We have to get Karkat! Terezi! Terezi Stop!"

"DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING TURN AROUND!" Karkat yelled. He looked to the side to see Vriska still hovering there with wide and shocked eyes, "VRISKA GET OUT OF HERE!"

She just continued to stare, not at him or the guards but the one holding the chain wrapped around Karkat that had batons stuck to the ends. The capturer looked back up at her with impassive eyes. She held no emotion; there was no grin, smile, frown, fear, anger, sadness, nothing. It was a completely emotionless face. The Condesce walked over to the capturer and put a hand on her shoulder as she looked up at the Scorpio with a grin.

Dualscar fired another beam at Vriska. The nightingale dodged and squawked, it was about to dive down and tackle something or someone but Zylpha whistled. It was a quick and long whistle, one that gym teachers would do to shut up their class. The nightingale stared at Zylpha for a second before flying off, following Terezi.

"What the hell are you doing you stupid bird? Turn around no! Where are you going! Fuck! What the hell!?" Vriska screamed and hit the bird but it never faltered and continued to fly.

"I knew you were not one to trust fucking bitch," Karkat growled when she tugged on the chains.

"It's alright, I never liked you either."
