"LET US OUT!" Second screamed at nothing in particular.
"Sec, it's worthless," Dark sighed. "We're not going anywhere for a while."
"Mother of Alan, when I get out of here, Orchid's gonna wish she was never born!"
"She will when Purple shows up and beats her ass."
"True."
Dark sighed, staring out the small cell window. "I hope Purple's alright."
"I'm sure he's fine." Second reassured.
"What makes you think that? Something could've been forced onto him and he needs us!" Dark exclaimed.
"True. But he'll get out of it! Just like we'll get out of here!"
"You're sure?"
"I'm sure we'll get out of here alive."
"I hope you're right about that.."
After escaping the void, Purple found a hooded cape and used that to stay hidden while he searched for the others.
They could be in visions, or in a cell, but who knew?
Orchid did, but he wouldn't get their location out of her even if it saved her life.
So he was on his own, trying to figure out where the others were without being detected.
It was going the way Purple expected.
Last minute hiding spots that barely saved his life.
The cloak concealed his identity, thankfully, but they would still question why a teenager was hiding in a giant building in the middle of the ocean.
Which, in his situation, was to stop a crazed woman from bringing back her dead husband and ending the world.
Yeah, that was not going to happen.
Or maybe it would.
Only time would tell.
And holy shit, Purple didn't have a lot.
Making sure nobody was in the area, Purple bolted for another corridor and checked for any other guards.
God, the guards seemed to be fewer than there were earlier.
Maybe they were all guarding Orchid and were aware of intruders.
"Where is everyone?" He asked himself, clearly confused by the lack of security. "Surely there should be double the normal amount of guards with Orchid's entire plan and all, so where is-"
"SOMEONE LET US OUT NOW!"
A familiar scream cut off Purple's question.
"Second?"
The quiet halls allowed Purple to hear much more clearly, giving him clear hear of Second's screams a few hallways down.
So that's what happened to them.
"Why didn't they get their own fantasies forced on them?" Purple asked.
Maybe they did and they got out of it.
Pushing his thoughts aside, Purple ran to where Second was screaming.
A cell up towards where the outside world was.
Thank Alan.
"Sec!"
"Wait, Purple?! How did you-"
"Long story I don't have a lot of time to explain. For now, we've gotta get out of here!"
"Why?! What about the others?!"
"Purple's lost his entire family…don't make him watch the deaths of the only people he has left…"
"They're…"
Second stared at him for a moment, knowing what happened. "Oh…"
"It's not important right now. Let's just defeat Orchid and get the hell outta here."
"Right."
Purple quickly unlocked the door via the lever outside(God, how stupid were they?), and ran for the stairway outside.
"Are we sure this isn't a dead end?" Second asked over the loud wind blowing.
"It can't be! If anything, it'll just be something like a sky dome! Like their old one!" Dark answered back.
"He makes a point."
"True. Anyway, let's just stop Orchid and get the others back, okay?"
"Right!"
Purple led the way outside as the wind increased. Amidst everything, Purple took note of the dull laser machine…whatever the hell it was, blasting a gray energy beam into the sky.
"Quick, hide!" Second pushed the other two behind a few stacked crates.
"Think that's what's causing the whole gray death thing?" Dark asked.
"Then how did Night Shade use it as an energy beam on the others?" Purple asked.
"He what?!" Dark whispered.
"Long story, we'll explain later. But we've gotta stop it before it does any more damage."
"Right, sorry."
Second crept towards Orchid, hoping to tackle her and fight her off while Dark and Purple tried to stop the laser.
It…was not a good plan.
Orchid had for sure proved she had much more strength and speed build-up when it came to attacking, and she shut down Second's strategy within seconds.
Dark and Purple, having powers and being used to fighting people off, weren't easy to take out.
Both of them attacked Orchid while Second decided to take out the laser.
Swapping roles was not the idea, but Second didn't want to get his ass beat, despite having his own powers.
God damn it, why wouldn't they just unlock already?!
"Second's only major emotions in that moment were rage and fear, which activated his powers."
"When Dark killed you guys…"
"Purple seems to be under an intense amount of fear and stress…"
"Wait a minute…"
Did their powers feed off strong emotions?
"Damn it Chosen, why didn't you elaborate this kind of shit before Night Shade killed you?!" He snapped to himself, slamming his fist into the machine.
For a brief moment, the space under his palm turned a bright neon green.
"What the fuck…"
"SECOND LOOK OUT!"
Purple screamed, catching Second out of his thoughts. He jumped out of the way, blasting a green fireball at Orchid.
"What the…"
"Holy shit! Nice work, Sec!" Dark exclaimed.
Second gave a brief smile.
Holy shit, that was cool.
Orchid snarled. "Get back here, you little shit!" She snapped before Purple cut her off by tossing her to the ground.
"Get away from my friends!" He shouted.
Orchid turned on him, tossing him in return. "Buzz off, brat."
That sent Purple's anger boiling.
"Get. Away. From my friends!" He shouted, tossing another barrage of fireballs at the older woman.
Orchid dodged each other, tossing Dark and Second aside and moving with such speed Purple didn't even see it coming.
"Purple, get away from the ledge!" Dark shouted.
Purple would've fallen if not for him remembering he had levitation abilities, sending Orchid flying over the edge as he flew above the ledge.
"Nice work, kid!" Dark said happily.
Purple landed back on the ground and ran for the other two. "You guys okay?"
"Yeah, we're alright." Dark answered.
"Good."
"That asshole's gonna pay," Dark sneered. "That bastard killed my best friend!"
"Relax, Dark. We'll think of something." Purple reassured.
"How do you know?! King's dead because of her! Doesn't that make you upset?!"
"Of course it makes me upset! What do you think she made me watch?!" Purple snapped. "She forced me to watch him and the others die! Wouldn't it hurt to see the people you love the most die in front of you?!" Purple's eyes shimmered with tears.
Dark backed down. "I'm sorry, Purple…"
Purple sighed. "I know. Let's just stop Orchid and get this over with."
"And how are you gonna do that?"
The trio looked up to see Orchid flying in the dull sky, an evil smirk plastered on her face and pink fireballs resting in her palms.
Purple returned that very smirk that told Dark and Second that he had an idea.
"Why don't we make a deal, mom?"
