"ARGH!"
"GAH!"
"AHH!" Charlie began grabbing his head in pain.
"Charlie-san! What's wrong?!" Miyagi yelled as he ran to his side.
"I...I can...SEE it...!"
Just then, the Limiter Eater noticed a black mass walking towards him.
"The vital signs of many Pandora are becoming extremely unstable!" yelled Young back at West Genetics. "This situation is degenerating!"
"Shut down the Nova dummies at once!" yelled someone behind him and Elgar.
"Father Marco!"
"I'm in charge as of right now! There's no time in waiting for Seiga Heavy Industries to deal with this! Shut the dummies down! NOW!"
"Yes, Father!" Reaching for the computer, Young began typing in the command to shut down the—
*ERROR*
"WHAT?!" Young typed in the command again.
*ERROR*
"ARGH!"
*ERROR*
"FUCK! I can't get the dummies to stop! The command keeps getting rejected!"
"RAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" The dummy Nova let out a defiant roar.
"SOMEBODY SHUT THOSE THINGS DOWN! NOW!"
"WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE?!"
"Calm down, everyone!" demanded Dr. Aoi. "We're still confirming the situation right now. Once the Stigmatic material has entered the state of resonance, it'll ignore any external signal...RIGHT, Director Seiga?"
"Wait!" Director Seiga whispered in the hopes that no one else would notice. "You...You already knew?"
"Who knows? After all, with such a complex phenomenon, it would be impossible to know EVERYTHING...well, I suppose you still don't know much about this...just like me—or rather, just like everybody else. I mean, our knowledge is so shallow."
The Vikings soon began noticing black mass appearing before them.
"It looks like black mass!" said Christopher. "Is it going to attack us?!"
"Hold on! I'm analyzing it right now!" Franklin attempted to analyze the black mass. "AHA! It's made of real matter!"
"So...does that make it our enemies...?!" asked Osaka.
"GAH!" Charlie suddenly began grabbing his head in pain.
"Hold on! Stay focused, Charlie!" shouted Rocky. "It's just like back then...these things are undermining our minds...and using the resonance of our Stigmata..."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE~de arima—"
*BAM*
But Ra's got kicked in the face and knocked back.
"RA'S!" exclaimed Satellite. Suddenly, he grabbed the back on his neck in pain and started screaming in agony. "AAHHHHH! WHAT'S GOING ON!? MY STIGMATA...IT'S REACTING STRANGELY!"
"Satellite!" Ra's tried to get up, only to see his brother before standing before him. "Impossible~de arimasu! My brother is DEAD! So...how can he standing right in front of me~de arimasu?!"
"WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?!" As the Pandora punk slowly opened his eyes, he suddenly widened them.
"I will not let you replace me..."
"A-A-A-Aoi...Kazuya...!?"
"...Big brother!" exclaimed Kazuha in shock. "Are you...Are you saying you see my brother...?" She looked around...but couldn't see anything but the black mass.
"I have watched over my little sister since the day she was born...and now YOU are trying to replace me...? I'LL KILL YOU!"
*SMACK*
Kazuya knocked the Untouchable King to the ground.
"Lite-senpai! Are you okay?" Kazuha rushed to his unnofficial Pandora partner's side.
"Ugh! I'm fine, but—*GASP*" Trying to recover, Satellite discovered Kazuya standing before him.
"Get lost! You will NEVER replace me in her heart..." Kazuha pointed his sword at the Pandora's punk neck...and prepared to slit his throat "NEVER!"
"ACCEL-TEMPEST!" Satellite quickly rushed back behind the black mass imposter to close in for the kill. "I'M NOT YOUR FUCKING REPLACEMENT! AND YOU'RE NOT RE—"
*SLASH*
But Kazuya moved quickly...and the Pandora punk's right arm and leg got sliced off.
Team 1 also got their asses kicked by the black mass illusions...and only Tommy watched as he tried to endure his OWN pain.
"Everyone keeps having hallucinations—they keep seeing what no one ELSE can! Things they HATE! Things they FEAR! Their worst experiences materialized right in front of them..." thought the Silent Confidant. Suddenly, he saw a figure with a familiar smiling standing over him. "But...But why...why are YOU the one who appeared before me...WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU

Thank you once again for reading!
I am DREADFULLY sorry about the rushing, but next month, I hope to slow down when I return to an old story. Until then...
