Prince of Heart- One more. One more until Game Over. I can't wait.

Eridan very suddenly came to, light breaking into his sockets as his very quick transition from the Derse moon to wherever the hell he'd been teleported to. He let out a scream, his saviour letting their arms slide back from around him and then letting him fall to the ground, fidgeting in pain and heavily breathing as he attempted to find out where he was. He felt someone's hands wrap around his side, keeping him still as he panicked, as another voice shouted his name and the patter of steps running towards him. He heard someone slide to a stop, and place their hands on his shoulders and rolling him onto his back.

"ERIDAN!" he heard Karkat's familiar voice shout at him.

"Eridan?" Kanaya also questioned from further away.

Eridan opened his eyes, the first sight being that of his Moirail Karkat, as well as his newfound human friend from Derse Roxy. Karkat was a sight for sore eyes, his eyes giving off slight concern for Eridan with his mouth slightly open, whilst Roxy narrowed her eyes at the Prince before letting go of him and sitting back, putting her palms to her eyes and rubbing them. Karkat pulled Eridan up, his bones creaking and groaning in pain from his previous encounter with Aranea, and he got a better view of the area he was in. The area was lush with forest, almost so dense that trees nearly blocked out the skyline, along with various water sources around the trees that combined to make the air quite musty and moist, the heat not helping Eridan in his pain. He saw Kanaya standing a fairs way away from him, surrounded by many different coloured bottles of liquid and to one side another girl that Eridan didn't recognise, her outfit completely red as well as with red eyes, a crown, pitch-black hair, strangely metallic skin, and a trident held in her right hand.

"What are you two idiots doing here?" the strange human asked, narrowing her eyes and snarling at them.

"janey?" Roxy asked, forming a frown and standing up. "janey omg is that really you?"

"Yes Roxy it is indeed me."

"like, are you sure? you look a lot more…" the Rogue looked the Maid up and down, "metallic than usual."

"Yes, so it seems," Jane confirmed. "That is a side effect of her Imperious Condescension's fabulous influence," Jane then whispered, "trademark pending."

"oh janey cmon! thats bs youre better than that!"

"I really am not."

"UM, FUCKING *EXCUSE* ME," Karkat interrupted, banging his fist in the dirt to emit a thudding sound and garnering the attention of Jane and Roxy, "IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T REALISED, ERIDAN IS ACTUALLY SERIOUSLY FUCKING HURT."

"kar its fine just a flesh wwound," Eridan claimed, rubbing his legs.

"OH REALLY NOW? WELL STAND UP THEN ASSHOLE."

Eridan crossed his arms and pouted, "I wwould prefer not to."

"YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. YOU, METAL FUCKWIT!" Karkat pointed to Jane. "YOU NEED TO HEAL HIM LIKE YOU DID TO ME."

"I'm afraid I am not allowed to unless ordered by her Imperious Condescension or Jade," she jumped off her rock and approached Eridan and his carer. "How did this even happen?"

"id rather not talk about it," Eridan said looking away.

"eridans crazy girlfriend tried hittin up english and she went batshit on him after he killed jake outta jealousy," Roxy explained.

"I'm sorry, what?" Jane asked spitefully, narrowing her eyes at Eridan. "You killed Jake? He was going to be my king, you imbecile!"

"wait king?" Roxy questioned, standing up. "janey him and dirk literally JUST broke tf up hol off a bit and wait for the wonds to heal before makin your move."

"Wait Eridan," Kanaya said, drinking from one of her potions, "You Killed Someone? Because You Were Jealous?"

Eridan avoided her eye contact. "i wwasnt thinkin. besides he looked like he wwas actually tryin to steal my matesprit. but…" Eridan had been trying not to tear up, but eventually burst out sobbing into his lap, his Red-blooded Moirail beside him patting his back and rubbing his knee softly.

Roxy sighed, "turns out she was tryna steal jake or somethin and ended up slammin him bc he foiled her evil alien plans by killin jakey. she uh also told eridan she never loved him and that's when i had to teleport him here."

"Oh." Kanaya let go of the potion and walked over to the rest of the group. "I… I Am Sorry Eridan. I Suppose I Would Have Done The Same Thing In Your Position However Inexcusable It Is."

"Wait just one moment," Jane said, "someone is trying to use Jake? For what purpose?"

Roxy shrugged, "no clue never said."

Jane sighed, before turning away and floating up into the air. "Wait here. I'll deal with this." And with that she accelerated off the planet into the unknown, leaving just the group alone.

"Can You Walk Eridan?" Kanaya asked, crouching down beside him.

"my legs are real numb kan but maybe."

"DON'T WORRY DUDE, I GOT YOU." Karkat said, pulling Eridan up and wrapping Eridan's arm around his shoulder, but not before Eridan whimpered and screamed out in pain as he stood on his right leg specifically. "IT'S OKAY DUDE, REALLY. I'VE GOT YOU."

Eridan took a few hurried breaths before nodding. "okay kar okay."

"where can we even go?" Roxy asked, standing up with Kanaya.

"I'm Not Sure But… Maybe… Do You Know Where Rose Might Be?"

"i dunno im afraid."

"Hmm. Maybe We Can Check In On Her House? That Does Seem To Be A Theme With Where Kar And I Were Teleported."

"oh shit uh well i could try. was hers the light glowy one the lava one or the black gooey one?"

"The Light One."

"aye aye captain but im still gettin used to these teleportin powers."

Roxy moved over to Kanaya, wrapping her arms around the Sylph's slender waist, and making the Sylph elicit a small surprised grunt. "I Sure Hope Rose Does Not See Me In The Arms Of Her Human Guardian Figure From Another Universe."

Roxy giggled, before the two teleported away, leaving Eridan and Karkat on their own. "SO DUDE, WHERE DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD GO?"

Eridan sighed, "kar i dont evven knoww. maybe wwe sh-"

Before Eridan could finish, he heard the distinctive noise of someone teleporting into the area, and turned to face the familiar scowl and growl of the Witch of Space, Jade. She made several fiery green spirals around her, and pointed at the Prince first.

"you! ive got a god damn bone to pick with you!" Her hand drifted to the Knight. "ill deal with you later!" She floated across to the pair, kicking Karkat away and grabbing Eridan's arm, before teleporting Eridan away for the hundredth fucking time.
