The entire landscape created by the amalgamation of Dumah and Carmille was completely erradicated. However, the theatre created from Fizzy's mind still remained... What remained was an open stage in the middle of the vast desert.

But the stage wasn't empty, there were two more actors on it. One one side was Kotsu, on the other Fizzy Roy. Both sustaining heavy wounds from the battle. Being the Harbinger, a dream monster created from the sandlands was what kept Fizzy alive, yet one could see each wound on his body, particularly the slice on his neck which while not fatal it left a large wound on it. On its side Kotsu, even for a vampire with a regeneration passive ability, his body was beyond wounded, receiving the heavy attacks of the Harbinger, it was slowly healing yet the rate wasn't fast enough to cover all his wounds inmediatly. Also, both's appearances wasn't their sandlands' aspect, instead they looked as they usually look in the physical world

The first to speak was Fizzy Roy.... "Ha..ha.... Vampire.... Taking on the sandlands power wasn't enough huh?... I should had done the dirty work myself from the beginning..... But ... now I'll end you... This theatre still exists and no one can interfere in the play"

The man injected himself with a stimulant pack and on its right arm he produced a energy blade. The blade was able to cut down vampires, as well Fizzy's weapons were equipped with ammo made to deal with these creatures. Sure a single attack won't end the creature however after a few hits, the vampire should go down.

Kotsu was panting while blood trickled down his hair and down one of his eyes, blinding him as he was smiling at Fizzy. "I'm glad you're alive. I wanna beat the shit out of you personally." Kotsu picked up his last healing vial from his belt and downed the contents to feel his bodies wounds slowly healing. He could feel his speed coming back to him. He pulled out a blood pack and sunk his teeth into that as well, draining the contents to return to his original strength while Fritz Roy checked his arsenal and prepared himself.

"And depending on your actions, I might not rip out your heart for all the innocent people you've killed. You're a monster, a murderer, and a piece of shit. If your sister ever knew who you really were, I'm sure she'd be disgusted despite loving you." Kotsu snorted. "Hell, you're more of a monster than me or Carmille. You're more of a monster than Dumah with a higher body count. And most importantly," Kotsu pointed to himself. "I won't let you ever hurt anyone I care about ever again!" Kotsu's eyes glowed red, as he curled his fingers toward himself with a confident smirk. "En garde, Baby Back Bitch."

"Hmph talking with a vampire was useless.... You understand how fragile a human life is... but you can't feel the pain from it. I really don't like vampires, but the only reason why I'm killing you is because that will ensure my sister's treatment.... I'm sorry here, but your life is infinitely less valuable than her's"

And then a flash of intense light followed, Fizzy was now at the left side of Kotsu brandishing his blade against the vampire's head. As he talked he threw a flash grenade to launch a surprise attack on the creature.

Kotsu being blinded in one eye from his own bloodshed had given him the advantage he needed in this regard, as the light faded, Kotsu switched his eyes. The one that was adjusted to the current lighting helped him despite the stinging of the blood entering his eye. Using his lightning fast reflexes, he quickly grabbed Fizzy by his arm and judo throws him away forward and away from him, using his whips to toss him further, creating more distance, but strangely, not injuring him with his whips.

"I don't know pain...? What the hell do you know about me!?" Kotsu said, a fury in his eyes like never before but he quickly calms himself down and composed himself. "What's the point of fighting like a coward with shitty tactics like that? Fight me like a man, you pathetic coward!" Kotsu said to Fizzy, getting into a combat stance. "Fight me with your hands, you pussy. Stop hiding behind weapons already. I'm gonna beat your ass into submission, but I ain't gonna kill you. I'm not gonna hurt Sam like that." Kotsu said, spitting some of the blood that trickled from his skull out of his mouth.

Fizzy produced a large magnum and fired several rounds against the vampire.

"I'm going to kill you. Do you think I want to play with your stupid rules? This is not a game"

He continues firing with lethal ammo for the vampire. Some of his shots were aimed at the ground instead, triggering a small explosion hoping to make the vampire lose his balance

Kotsu summoned his whips, twirling them around in circular motions, and proceeded to catch the bullets in his whips. He would catch what ones he could as he moved away from the explosive rounds on the floor, maintaining his concentration on catching them and paying attention to Fritz Roy. After a reprieve where Fritz Roy would need to reload, Kotsu would launch the bullets back at Fizzy.

"Your cheap tricks are just that. I've fought in your body, I've been in your mind. I have you to thank for knowing how you fight and what your capabilities are. I've not turned on the Maniacles, so if you kill me, you'll be hunted down as a traitor. Don't do this, don't ruin your life, you fucking moron. All you do is talk about how stupid something is, but you're the stupidest person here, you fucking fool!"

The explosive rounds however would trigger as soon as they impacted, these which were caught by the whips exploded as well. Smoke was produced in front of Kotsu's face and machinegun fire followed as Fritz changed to a different weapon instead if waiting time reloading.

Between Kotsu's legs a explosive landed ready to explode

As he used two of his whips to catch any machinegun fire for cover, Kotsu seen the faint glow of an explosive at his feet, and proceeded to push himself further away to the edge of the stage to give himself more room as well. He summoned electricity on two of his whips and fire on the two he was using to protect himself. Kotsu produced his new bowie knife and aimed for Fritz Roy's torso where he could gauge his body to be by following the machine gun fire. He began to rethink not killing Fritz Roy as he did this, but heard in his head himself think in a strange voice.

I could dash and twist the blade, disembowel him and be done with it...

Kotsu using the smoke screen to further his advantage decided to use one electricity whip to launch forward toward one of Fritz Roy's legs, and the other electricity whip to veer off to the right and flank him if he tried to avoid any of the other two assaults headed in his direction aiming to grab his legs and short circuit them.

Fizzy expected that moment. He disassembled his legs, separating his body from them, being ejected into the air. He produced one again his energy blade, held it with both hands and taking advantage of the ejection, he landed it upon Kotsu's chest. Fizzy smirked as he could feel the blade piercing flesh and blood gushing afterwards.

Severe damage but not enough to kill the vampire, he freed a hand to produce a gun and aimed at Kotsu's face.

"This is it..."

He pressed the trigger.

Kotsu's face flashed with anger as his veins began to flex in his skull. Kotsu had enough after feeling a blade plunge into his heart from his former comrade. His restraint had unshackled itself from his mind as he recognized Fritz Roy as a cognitive traitor. Kotsu threw a heavy haymaker into Fritz Roy's face as he felt the burning in his chest scream to remind him of the betrayal he suffered. The tearing of the energy blade made Kotsu become dizzy with anger. Voices began to shout in his ears as the horns came back to Kotsu's skull, becoming a more physical manifestation once more.

Kotsu's eyes became a pitch black, as he opened both of them and one of his tentacles shot out to catch Fritz Roy. Kotsu collapsible whip blades extended with blood barbed spikes jutting out from the metal slits offering further blood manipulation. He struck into Fizzy's right arm with the two electricity infused whips and two fire wrapped around his left, four whips digging into Fritz Roy, drawing blood.

"I've played nice long enough. I'm not going to be bullied. I'm not weak. NOT ANYMORE!" Kotsu screamed as he effortlessly
used the blood spikes to start the blood chainsaw on Fritz Roy's left arm. He ripped his right arm off after it was gouged to bits, laughing at his screams. He tossed him across the stage. "GET UP, YOU PATHETIC MEAT SACK! IT'S TIME TO LEARN YOUR PLACE!"

Fizzy landed violently at the other side of the stage, he abandoned his legs and now his right arm was completely torn apart, blood flowing from it. Due to the stimulat he felt no pain, yet the loss of blood, wounds, and fatigue made his body feel heavy and weakened.
He raised his left arm with difficulty and fired against the vampire before finally collapsing and losing consciousness, following this the stage finally shattered revealing the vast sandlands

Kotsu dodged with effortless ease, panting, angry, and staring hatedly at Fritz Roy while howling his victory, he walked over to Fritz Roy's collapsed body and stared down at him. As he sat there heavily panting, he eventually went to having red eyes, and less anger. Staring calmly down at Fritz Roy as if debating what take as his reward.

He settled on the energy blade and took it off of Fritz Roy's body before walking back to the rest of the group. His anger clear as he walks past the twins to settle away from the group. "Joe's, please heal him and restrain him, if possible. I wanna punch him in the face when he gets back, and then Sam can have a word with him." His back bleeding heavily from the chest wound, still wasn't closing for now. Kotsu stared at his new toy. "He'll get this back when he's less of a shit bag."

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
FINAL ACT
END
 
The twins had wanted to jump in, to get Kotsu's back. They... couldn't care what happened to Fizzy. After all, he had threatened to kill them on Denton's orders, and had just attempted to kill a friend. They were afraid that he had enough experience dealing with vampires that he might be able to get the upper hand on Kotsu... but when the battle finally ended, they let both let out a breath they hadn't realized they'd been holding.

They nodded at Kotsu's order. "You've got it." 01 said. The two rushed over to Fizzy. There... wasn't much to restrain. His right arm looked quite messed up, and in the fight, it appeared he had detached his own legs. 01 leaned down and fed him a healing vial, hoisting him over his shoulder, while 02 gathered his prosthetic limbs. May as well keep them for the time being. Who knows, if they get too far away, they might just end up going back on Fizzy. They couldn't allow that to happen.

They then followed behind Kotsu, wanting to make sure that he was alright... and then noticed that it was still there. The translucent red pyramid barrier, the mass of different environments hidden behind it. They... had been pretty sure that once they'd left the Sandlands into someone else's memories, that the pyramid would disappear, be lost forever... but despite the Sandland's illogical rules, despite the ever changing landscape... it was still there. A bright red landmark in the barren desert.

Kotsu held his chest as he breathed a bit laboringly and blood came out of his chest and back. Kotsu pocketed his new toy, and felt for his supplies. It had been restocked, even his bowie knife returned to him that he had thrown during his battle with Fritz Roy. His wound was slowly healing but it still hurt like a bastard. "Thank you, both of you. I'm sorry I had to behave like that." Kotsu said, apologizing to the twins for his aggressive display on a teammate.
 
The twins looked over at Kotsu as he spoke. "Don't worry about it. It was you or him, and frankly, we're glad it was him." 02 said, 01 nodding in agreement.

"It's not as if this guy didn't threaten to kill us. Left nasty holes in our ears, remember?" 01 asked. Granted, it was during a foray in the Sandlands, so no permanent damage, but still. Had he shot them then and there, they wouldn't be waking up in their bodies.
 
Kotsu sighed a deep sigh, as his bleeding stopped, and the wound was sitting there closing finally. Staring off into the distance at the pyramid, Kotsu didn't look toward either Joe.

"What should I do?" Kotsu asked them. "If I report him for attacking me, he loses his life and potentially his sister's life if they deem Fritz as a traitor to the Maniacles. That's if I appeal in the right areas too. But I don't want her to be harmed, she's innocent in this, and I don't want to see Sam lose him either." Kotsu turned back around to face the twins, his eyes looked blank. "Should I make him suffer a fate worse than death, or should I help him?"
 
The two looked at Kotsu and just gave a shrug. "...Don't know." They said in unison. 01 glanced at the unconscious body of Fizzy and sighed.

"...On one hand, he definitely deserves it. Unless he has evidence that you're a traitor, he has no right to kill you. Even if you were a traitor... well... we definitely don't abide by the Maniacles having you killed. What he's done... is despicable. There's no way around that." 02 said.

"On the other hand, we don't want the Maniacles to kill him either. Frankly they shouldn't have the right to kill others with impunity. They shouldn't have the right to do many of the things that they do." 01 said, looking off to the pyramid. "...I mean, they shouldn't have made us, they shouldn't be doing the experiments that they're doing. It's... disgusting." He said, his facial features distorted with disgust.

Off in the distance, behind the barrier... they could hear the distant sounds of explosions. "What the hell...?" The two asked in unison.
 
Kotsu cocked his eyebrow. "I just got to stop bleeding. I swear... I'll catch a break when I'm dead though. Might as well go check it out, yeah?" Kotsu said, smiling his usual smile before heading to check out the noise solo.
 
The twins looked at Kotsu and then quickly reached out, grabbing his shoulders before he could get too far. "Whoa, hold your horses, buddy. We should probably get input from the others before we go charging in willy nilly." 01 said. If someone was using explosives... or something was causing noises akin to explosions, it probably wasn't smart to have an injured vampire, and a set of clones who were weighed down with prosthetic limbs and an unconscious man's body to go investigate whoever or whatever was causing it.
 
"Well, if you're telling me I can catch a break finally, I'll take it." Kotsu says, going to walk to the others who were behind them before stopping. "Think they'll judge me for defending myself?" Kotsu asked the twins without looking back.
 
A fragment pinged off of Sam's armor as she looked at the plushy like it was retarded. "Of all things, in this body, after getting impaled three consecutive times, do you really- Fizzy, what the hell!"

Sam dropped down to the stage next to Fizzy. "God, I hate this place."
 
Yellow and blue owl breath out a tired sigh.

"Well that was a mess." Blue owl says, "I vote we take a break."

""Blue owl, look." yellow Owl points to Fizzroy, about him glittered shiny little crystals.

"Memory shards..."

"tend to Kotsu Yellow, I'll get our memories."

Yellow owl floats over to kotsu manifesting an ice pack. "You okay? I know dumb question." She puts the ice on his wounds, she new he would regenerate just fine but after everything she just wanted an excuse to be close to him.

Blue owl picks up a memory shard, all of them see a vision of her memory flash through their minds.

***
The emergence of blue Owl.
Cova lies in her captures bed, he was snoring loudly. She could';t sleep, even after a month it still hurt when he. She had stopped crying about it, stopped praying to her god, stopped calling for her father. Life had been a harsh teacher but by now she had learned her lesson.

Her prince wasnt coming, no one would save her, he'd wake up and use her again and the only one that could stop him was her, and she would. She slips out of bed and walks to the entrance of his room, two armed guards stood at the entrance.

Her eyes glow, she had learned to go into her own mind when he came to lay with her. Just escape into her own La-la land and wait out the horror, they she had represented, learned, grew strong. Now for the first time she breaks her promise to her father and casts mental magic with the intent to harm. The two guards collapse drooling from the mouth. She calmly opens the door and picks up their guns and walks back inside the room.

"Husband? Husband, wake up."

Her capture opens his eyes and stares up at her. "Shut up bitch I'm trying to sleep or do you want more of my sword?"

*bang!*

Cova shoots him in the leg, he gasps shooting up in pain and receives another bullet to the other leg, then both arms. Cova only thirteen kicks him off the bed and unloads a clip into his nether regions shooting his dick to literal pieces.

He calls out to his God who was her God, and the idea that they worshiped the same God angers her so much she beats him, beats him savagely with the but of the gun. Beats him till his teeth pop out of his mouth and his nose caves in.

By now more guards were coming, Cova knew she would not survive and honestly, her vengeance did not grant her soul any peace. But it was okay, this thirteen year old girl was tired of living anyway.

She doesn't kill her capture but leaves him mutilated and turns to face her death summoning her mental magic for one last battle.

The Memory ends.

***

The group finds it's self back in the sand lands, the vast desert stretches before them. "Thats depressing." Bickles says. "Sorry blue owl.)

Blue owl shrugs. "It happens."

"Well we are all alive at least all fifteen of us."

"yep!" Yellow owl says, "All fourteen of us, wait...Aria, Vivian, Kotsu, Sam, Fizzypop, Denton, Khepri, Joe and joe, Quinten, Blue owl, me, Clayton...we should have thirteen. uh...we're over by two?"

They spin to the two strangers standing in the center of them.

“Stupid feet, I knew I should have raffled those shoes off that dyin’ ole man,” a feline-liked being pouted. He paid little to no attention to the group that surrounded him not out of deliberate ignorance but rather out of sheer unawareness. It was something that the last town called him out on, something about being too stupid to pass up an opportunity to steal from him.

Well, truth be told, that ended splendidly - for himself, that is. The no-good thieves would do well to learn a thing or two to rob an old man (all 30 something years) such as himself. Aside from the sounds of wind crackling from heaved sand, there was an eerie silence that ended with his aloud thought. The platinum blonde raised his head, a cat-like smirk curling over his lips. “Ne, didn’t think you guys would notice so soon~”

He giggled, immediately forgetting about his scorching feet. “Guess y’know what they say about snoozin’~ -- Name’s Acacius. I’m the uh -- guardian of these parts! Yeah th’as it! Make sure all the lovely ladies are taken care of~” Acacius made well sure to glance at the females in the group and offer a swift wink.

Truth be told, that was probably the worst excuse he could come up with. Guardian of these parts-- bah! Did he even know where he was? All he knew was that he wanted a quickie and be done with it. Couldn’t do it in the major kingdoms considering they were well aware of his face and name, so he had to resort to lurking extreme terrains hoping to come across a crowd. Sure it was hell to bare but seeing how compliant his victims -- err, one nighters were, it wasn’t too too bad. He got what he wanted and they don’t remember a thing.


“So, so, so so! What can I do for you lovely folk this fine day~?”
 
"Who the fuck?" Bickle asks.

"CAN I STAB HIM?" Khepri asks wide eyed, she runs up to the stranger, "can I stab you?"

"Are you a mental mage?" Blue owl asks. "How, why are you here?"

"More importantly, can I stab you?"

Bickle pulls away his ill got girls friend. "never mind her she's still a little drunk. Names Bickle, this is my er girl friend. And these!" He gestures to the others.

"Are my fearless soldiers!"

"you're soldiers?" Blue owl raises a brow.

"well the god did ask me to bring you here, right? right?"
 
Kotsu stared at the feline creature in the distance and summoned his whip blades from his arms. "I've been hungry, and if you're a guardian, that sounds like you could be a good snack." Kotsu began to drool.
 
The feline rose an amused eyebrow at the enthusiastic female, arching his back so he was at her height. “Only if you promise to make it hurt~” Acacius purred in Khepri’s direction. When she was pulled away, he pursed his lips, standing upright again, a pinky finger to the tip of his ear.


“Now now now~ One at a time~ I heard something about being hungry -- I absolutely am! Maybe we can discuss this over food?” His attention smoothly swiveled to the blue owl, taking a moment to process the question. For a moment, his expression read confusion. “Nononono! I am a fate caster, not a mental mage~ Those things are terrifying~ I can assure you, I -- as well as this very place -- is about as real as can be. It would explain how we can feel everything INCLUDING starvation, yes? Or is that just me? Perhaps you lovely lads and ladies know of a nearby inn where we can settle~?”

His ears twitched at the sympathy of hunger pangs.

Then they pulled back at the words, pivoting to face the hungry individual. "Now, now, there's no need to be starting anything! You wouldn't want to create a mess out here, would you?" Crap, he eats guardians? Good going, Aca! It's not like you can take it all back now!
 
Kotsu glared down Acacius with his eyes turning completely red and his fangs becoming elongated. "Vampires need blood. And stay away from my Owls. I'll kill you." Kotsu smiled in a twisted way before retracting his blades and his face going back to normal. "But you aren't a guardian. I smell fear. No guardian fears something. And you have lack of knowledge in regards to this place."

Kotsu stared down Acacius. "So who are you, and why are you lying?" He asked with his arms crossed.
 
Vampire...?

Acacius swallowed hard at the word, taking a second to loosen up so that the saliva could unlodge itself from his adam's apple. "I wasn't going to do anything. The owl asked a simple question, that's it! Scout's honor..." His expression furrowed more. This kid was good. Two minutes and he already snuffed out his lie. But competence? He was sure as hell he was in the sandlands scorching his feet as they sat and conversed like merry men.

"I already told you who I am," Acacius snipped. He rested his eyes on Kotsus' arms, trying to unimagine the red eyes and elongated fangs. "And-- I'm not lying! We are genuinely in the middle of a desert, burning.



Well. I am, at least"
 
The twins looked at the new arrival. "...You're a cat." They said in unison in matter of fact voices. They knew that they shouldn't be that surprised about something like that, but... still.

The two then pointed at the red pyramid. "Were you the one causing those explosions earlier?" 01 asked. Had this been the thing that barrier tried to keep inside... or outside...? But it didn't look like the cat had explosives on him or anything. Of course, here, they could pull their weapons out at will. He was beginning to tire of carrying Fizzy around... and with very little care, he tossed him to the ground like a sack of potatoes. He landed on sand at least...

The twins then looked down at the cat as he said that they were all really in a desert. "...No, we're really not though." 02 said.
 
Kotsu sighed. "You're useless and afraid. That makes me disappointed. You're in the Sandlands." Kotsu didn't explain further as he felt there was no point to explain himself to a civilian. He watched 01 toss Fizzy and chuckled a bit. "Still owe him a punch to the face when he wakes up." Kotsu cracked his neck. "Yo Feline guy, meet the twins. They'll also fuck your shit up if you step out of line. Actually, all of us will. We're trained soldiers."
 
Aria
Aria picked up the unconscious Fizzy and slung him over her shoulder like another sack of potatoes. She then approached the newcomer and examined him from a closer distance. She raised her notepad and showed it to the feline man.

Animal ears!

She flipped the notepad to the next page.

Are you being experimented too?

Or

Are you some kind of manifestation?
 
Acacius' ears pulled at the two new faces and their blatant observation. "I'm a nekomimi, thank you very much. I am FAR more desirable than some old grouchy house pet." Huffing, he crossed his arms, following one of the twin's fingers at the pyramid.



"Eh? No, I came from over there!" He extended a clawed finger of his own in the opposite directions, suppressing a scoff at the mention of explosions. Someone clearly wasn't doing something right if they were THAT obvious.

Acacius internally winced at the pummel of their companion onto the sand, peering at the three of them. "Wait a second. What do you mean we're not really in a desert?" The vampire warned (if that's what he's supposed to call it) the cat of stepping out of line. "Sure thing, sparkles. Remind me again- who was it that drew their weapon out of sheer hunger~?"


He watched the female approach him, squinting to read her notepad. It took him a solid 45 seconds to grasp what it said before looking at her with a fresh wave of confusion. "Experiment? Manifestation? No, no dear I am.. uh.."
 
01 rolled his eyes at the question. "You haven't noticed the crazy stuff floating above us? Or that you can do this?" He asked as he got to his knees and began digging through the sand... and before too long, he was holding a perfectly healthy and alive kitten, despite it having been completely and utterly buried in sand. Soon enough, he pulled out another one, and another one... soon enough there were a bunch of mewling kittens surrounding the clone. "You're in the Sandlands, it's essentially the world's collective unconscious." He said, rising to his feet.

02 glanced over at the translucent red pyramid and the strange landscapes that were hidden beneath it. "Alright, so it wasn't you then." He said quietly. It didn't take long for another explosion to ring out from the pyramid, some smoke rising up from the treetops behind the sandy beach.
 
Clayton looks the cat person up and down. Didn't look like no guardian to him. This guy didn't even look like he could take a punch from his frail grandmother. Yes, Clayton's grandma who had been dead for about 250 years.

Clayton considered aiming his tank gun at the cat, but it probably wasn't necessary. He cracked his knuckles.

"I suggest you be straight with us or its gonna be bad. We're with Maniacles. Maniacles doesn't play nice. Who are you?"
 
Kotsu grimaced as he was called 'sparkles'. His eyes turning red again, but only the pupils. He heard what Clayton said and agreed in a way. "Call me 'Sparkles' again Pussy Cat, and the only thing that'll be sparklin' is your teeth down your throat and your blood spatterin' the sand." Kotsu's eyes remained red now, his chest wound had sealed itself up and he was becoming less exhausted. His horns began to form as incorporeal with the wailing screams of his previous victims as he stayed silent and watched Acacius.
 
Sam took one look at Acacius and walked away. "Nope." She started collecting the iron she'd yanked out of the nightmare into a pile. Drawing in the air with fire, courtesy of Hephaestus, she spelled out ΕΡΓΑΣΤΗΡΙ (workshop) in a circle. The circle flashed into a ball of fire that turned into a doorway.

Through the doorway was a relatively bare room. Large, but devoid of furniture or anything else besides a glowing forge in one corner. Chucking the metal in, Sam decided she'd figure out what to do with the space later.
