Sylanwood, Barcemanca: The Streets, Time: 11:30 PM
**************************************
On the calming night of Barcemanca, our gang was traversing through the street once more. They were moving at a normal pace since nothing was after them right now.
"So like how's Sugar? I haven't heard of him in a while..." Morenica then thought for a bit before a cog turned in her head, "Don't tell me! He's hiding from me because he broke The Shi again! The katana took so much of my time to repair it!" She was ready to give him a piece of her mind if she had to fix The Shi for the third time.
Bada was wincing at the fact that she didn't know the truth, "He...He's fine." Bada was reticent about this so Morenci doesn't have to know about it.
"Uh huh, right." Morenci was skeptical about this, she needed to make extra sure that Sugar didn't break The Shi.
Bada sighed in tiredness, the coffee candy was about to wear off, "No, he didn't break The Shi, from what I heard." This causes Morenci to ease up and calm down.
"Thanks the lord, I thought I would have to repair that nightmare ever again..." Morenica wiped the sweat off her brows, the amount of time she took out of her day to fix it. It was purgatory for her.
"So, these two are your assistance?" Morenica stated, raising an eyebrow on James and Mianne.
"Yes, this is their first mission today. So, they are involved in this investigation as well." Bada noticed that Mianne was growing tired as well, it seemed the coffee candy was wearing off on her.
"We are almost there, don't give up now," Bada stated, he was going to drag them back if he had to. 'Huh, where did that come from?' Bada thought to himself, he didn't realize that the effect of Sugar was rubbing off him.
"Mianne...! Are you good?" James was rubbing his eyes, eyebags started showing on his expression.
"Yes! I...think." Mianne's eye bag started showing as well with Dyssorath looking concerned for her, letting out an alerting growl. "Oh, jeez. This is how Ezra felt huh?" Mianne started to feel drowsy now, the candy could only last for a bit.
"Ay, we're about to get out of here," Morenica stated, that she had been here for a year so she could remember how long it took her to walk out of town.
"Ah...that's nice..." Mianne was rubbing her eyes, she was gonna resting like a baby once they went back to the Abyssal Keep.
As they were about to reach to entrance, Bada stopped for a bit with his hand extended to block the way.
"What's up, Mr.Bada?" James was curious about why are they stopping right now.
"Something is approaching," Bada stated, he turned off his visor so that any paranormal activity wouldn't interrupt his vision.
Bada could see an army of knights approaching them in the formation line. They were wearing masks with many expressions with gray robes over their head.
They stopped as they faced against our heroes. They seem to be curious as they tilt their head.
Bada was tired and didn't want to deal with this at all, "Alright, what's your gimmick? It's midnight and you lots appear out of nowhere." If they don't give him the answer immediately, he will send them into the stratosphere.
The red angry mask knight decided to step in, "We are The Last Gleamers. I am Guro, and we are here to purge the beast so-called 'The False Hydra.'"
He seems to be larger than anyone, almost standing in 7th feet tall with a red stole around his dirty steel armor. He was holding a giant rapier that was sharp like a nail.
"Ah shit, it's my fucking landlord." Morenica cursed under her breath, they were probably after her money as well.
Guro noticed Morenci was with them, maybe this could be a good time to ask for rent money. "Ah, Morenica. Your rent is due and we request for it, now." He aggressively gestured his hand asking for money.
"No way, assface! I am about to be a billionaire so kiss your bum if you gonna leach off me!" Morenica laughed, she gonna be way richer than any landlord combined.
"You're making this difficult, Morenica. You shall face the consequences if you persist." Guro doesn't care, he will get his money no matter what.
"Oi, Bada. Mind if I pummel these guys in?" Morenica asked, gently placing down two of the suitcases that would make her a billionaire. She spins her finger around, wielding a serrated cleaver blade.
Bada was groaning, he felt like a parent right now. "Fine! Do whatever you want..." Bada slumps onto a crate, he should've done this mission during the evening.
James looked over to Mianne who was grabbing his shoulder to support herself. "Can you fight, Mianne?" He was concerned even though he was very fatigued.
"I...think..." Mianne was trying to stand still before she slumped into James's back in drowsiness, "Noooo...." She whined as James decided to settle her down to the walls.
"Angel, go help them for a bit..." Mianne's last word before she dozed off as her guardian came out to help.
"I have arrived- why is it so dark in here?" Angel stated, looking around at her environment. "I was in her mind and it was bright to the brim..." She muttered before facing against the enemies.
Bada flicks a coffee candy to James, "James, you should eat that...I need to tap out for this one." Bada decided to watch them so The False Hydra wouldn't eat them in their sleep.
James caught it, "Thank you, Mr.Bada!" James upwrapped and quickly munched on it. He felt a sudden burst of energy course through his body before he breathed in.
"Alright, time to do this!" James pulled out his ThunderBird runes as he spun his halberd around. He smirked as he swiftly opened the lid and inserted it in.
"T-T-T-THUNDERBIRD!"

???, James's Mind, Time: None
**************************************
"Oh, Rico...I don't think we could ever be together..." An anthropomorphic sheep was talking with someone, they were over the bridge.
"Nico, It doesn't matter... let's run away together." An anthropomorphic wolf was holding her hand before a pause icon came on the screen.
TB and SP were watching a movie together before SP pause it, "This shit fucking stink." SP stated, crossing his arms.
"Yeah, I got to admit. A sequel to this one is Hot Garbage, I think we should stop it here." TB was eating the cooked buffalo wing, he winced at how spicy it was.
"Where did you even get that?" SP raises an eyebrow as he takes some of the wing as well.
"Ay, we in young master's mind! Anything is possible if we imagine hard enough." TB added more black pepper onto his wing, eating it at the same time.
Suddenly, an organ music starts playing. It was intense and more upbeat than the last one with yellow light alerting the room.
"Ay, the alarm going crazy," TB commented, not knowing that it was intentional.
"It's your alarm, dumbass! Young master need your help!" SP slapped the back of TB's head, causing him to wince.
"Oh! Ay, ay, ay! Party time, motherfucker!" TB danced for a bit before ffront-flippingto the entrance and transforming into his Eldritch Form, crashing into the door before gently opening it.
SP was rubbing his face, "Be patient, Swampy. Just wait a little longer before another person shows up and be able to handle him." He wanted to throw TB out of the window, he just wanted him out of his life.
