Fandom Disaster in the Dreamscape

[themagnoliaofutah]

The Attorney idly fidgeted with her badly bitten fingernails. This whole situation seemed somehow terrifyingly familiar to her- with a group of people she didn't know all that well, trying to figure out a mystery that might be beyond human comprehension.

A part of her toyed with the terrifying possibility that the darkness from the Manor- or the twins her shell Not-Damien- she didn't know what that thing was- could have something to do with all this. She glanced at the other Dreamscapers, and took some solace in the fact that they had better leadership. These newcomers, they scared her- but at least she wouldn't be as alone this time.

She said nothing about the Entity, however. There was plenty of evil in the world- it probably wasn't what she thought it to be, and who would believe her anyway?

"That would be alright," Princess Luna says to Reed, "I don't find much of a need to be too formal in this realm. If you ask me, overformalities during this task would hinder me just a bit. I may be an Alicorn, but you should treat me the way you treat any other pony while we are here."

"How do I treat any other pony?"

"With respect and the values of friendship."

"Doesn't sound too hard. What do you think guys?"

"I have no objections to that. Oh, where are my manners? I am Hikaru."
"Name's Katsuo."

"I suppose we should thank Dream Hunter Rem for her efforts as well."

"Alpha and Beta too."

Rem's pets that accompanied her, a kitten and a puppy, meowed and barked happily in response.

"It was nothing. Besides, I let that Nightmare Dopant guy escape..." Rem laughs sheepishly.

"It's OK, Rem, accidents... happen," Katsuo scratches his head.

"Though, I have to wonder," Hikaru ponders, "this phenomenon - is the Nightmare Dopant a part of it, was he there by chance, or was he taking advantage of the situation?"

"Maybe this Nightmare Dopant guy is the big bad the Dreamscapers have been trying to find."

"If what you say is true, he is a much bigger threat than even Eternal. Speaking of, the memories that the Nightmare Dopant manifested in our shared nightmare - the Accel Memory and the Xtreme Memory. Those are things we have never seen before, are they not?"

"While that isn't a wise conclusion to jump to immediately, young one, it is at least a lead," Luna says to the Commander, "we'll see what Nemurin has to say about it."

"This Nemurin must be real important."

"If he's using other people's memories in your nightmare, then maybe, if we can track down whose memories are whose, we can figure out just how broad his reach is... if that makes sense, I don't know." Seemingly embarrassed by her sudden burst of verbosity, she fell silent again.

"I do not believe that is how it would work. There is no point in using the memories of one pony to instill nightmares in another. For fear to truly work, it must come from within."

"Someone's dreamt of those dumb duds before?" Katsuo groaned.

"Someone who's seen them and likely knows how they would work. And I highly doubt the Nightmare Dopant would dare cross that someone," Hikaru adds, "do you think I..."

"Let's just focus on finding that damn Dopant first, alright?"

"Wait, do you guys have Dopants for pretty much everything?" the Commander asks, "birds, T-Rexes, goddamn Nazca lines... and now nightmares."

"We faced the Liar Dopant last week, if it helps."

"The Puppeteer Dopant the week before put Katsuo in quite the scare."

"IT DID NOT."

"I think I ran out of words," the Commander shakes his head.

She simply looked down. "Sorry." See? Stupid ideas like that? At least you can't prove your idiocy if you keep your mouth shut.

After the events of the last nightmare, Luigi had hung in the back quietly, his hands stuffed inside of his overalls as he looked around. He listened to Luna's little exposition dump in complete silence, though a nervous look had taken over his face the more she'd said. A demon who was forcing itself into people's dreams, forcing them to have nightmares? Who would do such a thing?

"D-do we-a have any leads...?" Luigi asked nervously.

Crow​

 

[Crow]

"To tell the truth, I am unsure if this is a lead or a dead end," Luna says to Luigi, "I suppose we all should at least know what this 'Nightmare Dopant' looks like. Rem, Hikaru, Katsuo, is it alright if I extract some memories from your mind."

"If it's important, sure!" Rem says.

"Anything to dig into the Nightmare Dopant would be appreciated," Hikaru said.

"I don't think I've got a reason to trust you guys that much yet..." Katsuo crosses his arms.

Luna's eyes and horns glowed with a night blue aura as smoke emerged from the ears of Rem and Hikaru's ears, this smoke being absorbed into Luna's horn before it projected what appeared to be a 3-dimensional holographic image, a pretty big one reaching a little above two and a half metres. At first glance, it looked no different than the real deal!

"I believe this is the Nightmare Dopant that appeared in Hikaru and Katsuo's dream. Whether it is the nightmare bringer, is merely working with the nightmare bringer or is unrelated is unclear."

The Commander phased his hand in and out of the hologram. "Definitely has a look that fits the name."

Uriah had met up with the others in her usual state: Very, very tattered. Beyond Catra and Giffany's troubles, she also needed to save Rex from his fear of being replaced, Double Trouble from a major identity crisis, and Cheewoo from a bizarre, indescribable nightmare brought on by one hickory seed too many. "Those poor people have been having the worst troubles." She mused. "Were it not for my finding you, I most likely would have been roaming all throughout the night."

In truth, she was left drowsy, listening to the briefing with an uninterested expression. Unintentionally or not, however, the Commander brought her out of it was a very special name. "Yuchino? Did you say...Yuchino?" Her ears fell flat. She'd tried so hard to find that child through he dreams, but the poor girl must've strayed too far across the multiverse for even her magic to reach! She stepped straight towards the Commander, her brilliant red eyes turning pale. "Where has she been?! Do you know if she is safe?!"

The mention of that sweet little girl motivated the kitsune to pay attention throughout the meeting. Luna produced the image of some kind of white cloaked figure, with at least three heads accented with golden faces. "Regardless of where it stands in the nightmare hierarchy, we must stop it before it reaches Yuchino!"

"It seems... theatrical." Its gilded appearance reminded her of that house- opulent and gilded on the surface, with darkness swarming within.
Its mask, specifically, reminded her unpleasantly of the Actor- it was odd, he hadn't crossed her mind in quite some time. She didn't know why. He had been at the party- if what she heard was true, he had only staged his death, was out there somewhere with everyone else. She wondered if anyone was looking for her- the detective, maybe, or the family she barely remembered.
It isn't fair, is it? How they abandoned you.
No. It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair at all.

"Told ya. It's not like we're in their Pony World or something." Reed turned to Woz as he received her response in which he raised his head.

"Very well, I shall keep that in mind." Woz simply nodded as the topic soon shifted into finding the Nightmare Dopant. However, in the process, some dragon looking guy asked about Yuchino, which made Sougo rub his chin.

"Yuchino...Yuchino...Where have I heard that name before? Hmm..." Sougo pondered for a while, soon snapping his fingers. "Oh! You mean Smartypaw!" Sougo recalled in a lightbulb moment. "As far as I know, she's probably fine with her little pet, Pookybear." He told the blue clad kitsune, "Do you know her actual self?" He asked, curious.

"More than likely, m'lord." Woz answered, "I'd assume that there's a parental relationship between the two."

"Hmm...Then it's probably a bad idea that we let her stay as Smartypaw, huh?" Sougo asked his equerry, who simply shrugged.

"That is up to the kitsune's perception, m'lord."

"I feel like I'm missing a lot of context with this Yuchino-Smartypaw thing." Reed expressed his confusion to the two Rider, soon shrugging as soon as the Nightmare Dopant has been materialized. "Pfft--! It looks like someone's failed attempt at a spooky OC, ha ha ha!" Reed chuckled a bit, finding the Dopant to be hilarious looking.

"I...Don't think it's funny?" Sougo raised a brow at Reed as he soon faced the others. "Is it possible that we'll find it at someone else's dream?" He asked, wondering if they should expand the search.

 

[Crow]

"Looks more monster of the week if you ask me," the Commander says. When Uriah appeared and asked about Yuchino, he simply says, "you see, Yuchino actually-"

"We're here."

"We are? All I see is a giant tree thing."

And he was right - right before them was a floral, mossy being exceeding the size of the tallest skyscrapers.

"He's more related to mushrooms, so they say," Luna responds, "hello, Giore, I brought some guests, mind if I bring them in?"

Luna began to cast a teleportation spell, transporting everyone to a grassy field skirted by thick forests Right before them was a wooden house.

"Any reason you didn't warp us right in?"

"That would be impolite," Luna knocks on the door before entering, her horn glowing as the door opened. That was when a white, red-marked spider hanging on a thread swiftly descended to greet our guests.

"Keekee!"

"Not the best time, Franklin," Luna asks the spider, "where is your Master?"

"Present, Princess Luna," a gothic lolita-clad figure approaches the door, speaking in a cold voice.

"Silence Dogood, has Nemurin returned yet?" Luna asks.

"Negative."

"Then we shall wait just a bit longer."


"What happened to ASAP?" Katsuo asked as everyone sat around the cloud-based living room, waiting.

"Even if we want to, there are many reasons we cannot rush this without our leader. Additional help was meant to boost our overall power over our enemies. So, I would prefer it if she were here before we engage the Nightmare Dopant - and any associates he might have."

"Screw this, I'm gonna go take it on myself. You're coming right, Hikaru?"

"You can go," Silence retorts, "but at the risk of being lost in this realm for a long time. Lots of people can map out their own dreams, but few know how to navigate the parts outside it."

"So uh... Uriah, about the whole Yuchino-Smartypaw thing they brought up, in the end, it-"

Before he could continue, the door was being banged very heavily.

"You guys don't have a doorbell?"

"Woah...It's like a fantasy world thing!" Sougo said in awe of the giant tree, soon being teleported where he assumes to be near the giant tree, with a house under the shade of some trees. As Luna opened the door they were greeted by a red and white spider hanging on a dreamcatcher of sorts, followed by a black clad child like figure, whom Luna asked about their leader, Nemurin. This peaked the curiousity of Sougo, turning to Reed. "Who's this Nemurin person?"

"You want the long version or the short version?" Reed asked back

"Uh...The short one, please."

"I have no idea." Reed simply shrugged, "All we actually know of her background is that she's the leader of the gang and that she has been living in the Dreamscape for who knows how long." He answered truthfully. "It's said that she's all powerful in the Dreamscape. Other than that, I have no idea."

"Huh..." Sougo simply nodded, and soon enough, the gang were led inside. Immediately, one half of the AU W expressed their concern about the speed of their progress, only to be stopped with Silence, the gothic loli's warnings about getting lost. "I hate to say this, but she's right, Katsuo-kun." Sougo says, "We don't know much about this world...No, this realm? Whatever this is, we don't know much about how to navigate through it."

Meanwhile, Woz takes a seat near the kitchen area of the living space, eyeing the inactive members of the Dreamscapers.

"Hey, what's the deal with all the newcomers?" One of the blonde girls in blue, clad in a child like Warden's outfit complete with a blue cap, her hair tied up in buns and have an eye patch on her right eye speaks up, noticing the sudden increase in numbers. "You guys didn't recruit without Nemurin's permission, did you?"

"Hah, says the kid who recruited the tardy guy!" Reed chuckled at Caroline, "Or is it half the kid? Anyway, my point still stands. It's only fair that we get to recruit peeps in order to make our jobs a tad bit easier...Or so he says." Reed turned to the Commander, whom they haven't really gotten a name out of. "In anycase, I'm just waiting for the go ahead from the chief but I think they're gonna stick."

"If that's the case, then it would be best to get acquainted." The other girl in blue says, clad in a similar outfit except her hair's done in a braid and her eye patch covers the right eye soon turning to one of newcomers, particularly Hikaru. "Hello, I am Justine." She simply greeted, holding her clipboard. "The girl right next to me is my twin sister."

"Hey, I'm Caroline." The rude sounding one introduced herself next. Before any further inquiries can be added, someone knocked on the door. Hard.

"Should we answer it?" Sougo asks, standing up and approaching the door, opening it slightly and peeking through the opening.

More people suddenly came through the door alongside the previous party- likely recruitees that the pony princess, Luna, and the team that went alongside her, were able to retrieve from the Nightmares. Ino looked at them arriving from his spot on the table alongside Caroline and Justine, his expression neutral for a moment, as with one last bite- he gulped the last bit of his cereal. He did, however, choke a bit as Reed said that they both recruited the 'tardy guy.' As a little blush of embarrassment appeared on his face. It was him they were talking about, wasn't it...?

"I'm sorry." He said to almost no one, and more in a way that seemed to be simply an apologize overall for him being a nuisance. He may only have some mildly superhuman traits and knows how to use a sword and gun...But that was it. He knew was a nuisance, or at the very least, not very useful.

Still, he had to introduce himself. It was only fair. "I'm Inokura Nanabi. You can call me Ino if you don't mind nicknames. It's generally what I go by." He replied simply, offering a weak little smile to the newcomer. "I may not be very useful right now, but I hope we can be good companions while we're here." Nice, short, and polite. That was more then enough right now. "I'm friends with Caroline-san and Justine-san. So be nice to them, alright?"

As the door knocked hard and cut Ino out of any other questions he may have had, he simply got himself up in reaction, but, soon stood quiet- simply staring at it, his hand going over his sniper rifle just in case.

"Fine, I guess we do have to deal whoever's hitting the door anyways," Katsuo crosses his arms.

"Nah, we're just uh... we're not joining you guys officially. We're uh... helping! Yeah, that's the word. Not that this is a good time to partake in whatever trial you guys have," the Commander then introduces himself, "my name is- geez, that's some serious knocking. You guys have a doorbell right?"

"We do indeed. I imagine whoever is on the other side is too distressed to notice," Luna adds.

"- riiiiight. Anyways, where was I? Ah yes, I'm generally used to being called Commander."

Sougo would see someone through the door, and hear something too! He would not fully see what was going on. This someone knocked on the door vigorously.

"Come on... come on... I already lost you once, I'm not going to lose you again!"

Whoever was on the door appeared to be a young girl of sorts. Clad in some kind of sailor uniform. Sougo couldn't see her face but he could tell she's nearly tearing up in concern. She appears to be looking for someone. Sougo knew they couldn't help much but maybe the Dreamscapers know something. Thus...

"Uh..." Sougo opened the door, "Can I help you?"

Meanwhile, inside...

"Huh, desperate to not reveal you name huh? Cool, cool. I can respect that." Reed chuckles to himself. "I bet your close friends just call you Commander and stuff." He says to the Commander, leaning further back.

"That is entirely correct." Woz answers, "Although some of his troops did hint on a romantic relationship with the commander in question."

"Woah, seriously?!" Reed stared at the commander with wide eyes. "I didn't know you swing that way..."

"...His troops were all women." Woz sighs, pinching the center of his nose.

"Oh." Reed glanced back at Woz with a disappointed stare.

"Honestly, let me finish before you make assumptions." Woz reprimanded the gamer calmly. "That reminds me. Your name..."

"Oh right, it's Reed." Reed introduces himself. "Reed Boiyo, professional Gamer/Apocalypse Survivor!" He chuckled at his made up profession.

 

[Crow]

"We're not that romantically involved... maybe, I think," the Commander scratches his head, "Apocalypse Survivor? What kind of apocalypse?"

Meanwhile.

"Is this the right place?"

The girl's despair-filled face looked towards Sougo. But more importantly, something- or someone- was held by her hands. A very familiar face, had it not been covered with blood. The body was veiled by blood and had dagger handles jutting out. Even the faces of her cute cloud-like accessories were panting from exhaustion, no longer sporting their usual smile.

"Hack... hack... I've returned... hack..."

"Nemurin?" Luna exclaimed as she turned towards the bloodcaked Nemurin, the latter seeming to have difficulty moving. She dashed beside Sougo.

"Let's get you inside first. Questions can wait," Luna then looks towards the pinkette, "and thank you as well. I do not know what would happen to Nemurin if it weren't for you bringing her."

"I don't want to find out either," the girl replies, carrying Nemurin to her room, with Luna following closely behind.

"For someone to defeat her like that... who could be that powerful?" Rem ponders.

"Outer Gods maybe?" Silence suggests. "Though her sanity is still intact, so I doubt she had the misfortune of bumping into one. It can't be Bill Cipher, since he has been felled a good while ago..."

Louise turned deathly pale, hesitantly walking toward the wounded girl. She pulled a small roll of faded bandages from her pocket, an empathetic sadness in her eyes.
She gestured to the others. "Someone get a wet cloth. We'll need to wipe this blood away... maybe alcohol too." She was no doctor, but she had bandaged herself up enough times to manage- being dead by no means meant that her injuries were lessened.
She looked Nemurin in the eyes, seeming to silently ask, Who did this to you?

"Yuchino...Yuchino...Where have I heard that name before? Hmm..." Sougo pondered for a while, soon snapping his fingers. "Oh! You mean Smartypaw!" Sougo recalled in a lightbulb moment. "As far as I know, she's probably fine with her little pet, Pookybear." He told the blue clad kitsune, "Do you know her actual self?" He asked, curious.

At first, Uriah wondered if she had come off as crazy. Despite her unique name, Yuchino was still one child of many millions, and she was no social butterfly. The little girl preferred to stay in the shadows at all times, what were the chances that someone knew her? Maybe she was just overreacting.

Oh, wait, Sougo just all but stated that something had happened to her, something drastic enough to change her whole identity.

With her hackles raised and her ears flat, Uriah approached Sougo, demanding further explanation. "Did I know her?! I was looking after her for a great portion of my journeys! She has wandered astray from me, worrying me sick! And now, you are telling me that she has undergone a complete transmogrification?!"

"Hmm...Then it's probably a bad idea that we let her stay as Smartypaw, huh?" Sougo asked his equerry, who simply shrugged.

"AND YOU LET HER STAY THAT WAY?!" The kitsune bared her mighty teeth. These people...these people! "WERE YOU NOT MADE AWARE THAT SHE HAS PARENTS WHO ARE DEEPLY WORRIED ABOUT HER!?"

"I feel like I'm missing a lot of context with this Yuchino-Smartypaw thing."

Next, she stared Reed down with intensely glowing eyes. "Yuchino is a lost child, plain and simple. She was expelled from her home world by a ruthless beast, as was I. Though I vowed to escort her home, I ended up losing track of her! AND NOW I HAVE ONLY JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT SHE HAS BEEN FORCED TO TAKE ON A WHOLE OTHER IDENTITY!"

"Looks more monster of the week if you ask me," the Commander says. When Uriah appeared and asked about Yuchino, he simply says, "you see, Yuchino actually-"

Uriah lowered her head. "Tell me."

Sadly, they did not get time to talk about it. Throughout the whole trek to some old house, she kept her muzzle pressed shut, telling herself stories about just what could have caused Yuchino to become this "Smartypaw" character. "It must be a curse. But magic tends to have different rules across the multiverse. Suppose I couldn't lift the curse myself? Well, not that I would have qualms about digging my teeth into whoever did it!"

"So uh... Uriah, about the whole Yuchino-Smartypaw thing they brought up, in the end, it-"

Before he could continue, the door was being banged very heavily.

"You guys don't have a doorbell?"

Alas, before the real story could be told, they were interrupted again! "Oh, for the heavens' sake!" Uriah wailed, her tails thumping across the floor.

When the new guest was revealed, however, Uriah dropped the selfishness. "Oh, my gods! Nemurin, will she be all right? I do recall some healing spells!"

Sougo fell silent when he saw the bloodied girl she was carrying, eyes widening as he staggered back. Something must've happened to them...They've been attacked.

"Holy crap, Chief!" Reed stood up as Luna revealed that Nemurin's been injured in battle. Her wounds look severe, as if she's been stabbed multiple times by a dagger that's sticking out of her. What could've done this to her? Regardless, she needs to be healed, stat. He turned to the twins with a rather serious look on his face. "Lavenza, can you go help out? We might need all the healers we can get by the looks of her condition."

"Got it." "Understood." The Twins nodded, following Nemurin alongside some of the Dreamscapers who wanted to help.

"Dammit...Maybe one of us should've went with Nemurin after all..." Reed clicked his tongue, crossing his arms as if he's disappointed in himself, sitting back down. "Whatever it is, let's hope that it didn't follow them to our headquarters."

"Show me the future..." Sougo mumbled, staring outside as he took out the Zi-O II Riderwatch and holding it tight. He closed his eyes, trying to activate his precognition ability. He wants to know whether or not they are followed by looking a few moments into the future. If they are, there should be signs pointing to someone else's arrival.

At the room where Nemurin was brought in, the Twins would clear out the bed of anything that could be a hazard, even removing the blanket in order for the leader to be placed down.

At Louise's instructions, Justine went back to the living room in order to grab a bottle of alcohol while Caroline took out a blue handkerchief from her inside pocket, dousing it with water from the sink near the living room. Once they've returned, they handed both of the requested items to Louise, although standing by in order to cast their healing spells.

 

[themagnoliaofutah]

The District Attorney began to gently wipe the blood away, her hand trembling as she considered what might've caused this. The cloth turned pink, then red from all the blood soaking into it . She suppressed a shudder.
Once she had cleaned up as much blood as she could (which was most of it), she dabbed a little alcohol onto the wounds, carefully making the way to where the dagger was still embedded. Once she reached the dagger, she hesitated. Taking it out the wrong way could cause Nemurin to bleed out, but leaving it in could cause an infection.
"...how should we remove this?"

Izuru was watching these events go down from an elevated position. Since the events with Woz, Izuru had decided to take a back seat to the other Dreamscapers and their escapades. He'd stepped out of the limelight and observed how the others dealt with things. He even got to see the real Zi-O, who was pretty underwhelming for a Demon King. When Nemurin had been brought in, he could sense residue from whatever had attacked her. It smelled of blood, chaos and deception. Nemurin was an amicable person and supposedly a great leader. Though Izuru had only met her a handful of times and didn't really recognize her as his boss. Even he was concerned for the small girl in his own special way. V stood next to the injured girl, running a diagnostic on the hurt Nemurin. The concern on her face was a sad sight. Everyone was scrambling and doing what they could.

What they could...

Izuru thought of something and looked at his hand. He and Nemurin were both practically deities in terms of power and soul composition. Perhaps he could use his powers on her. Yet he couldn't bring himself to do naught but clench his fist and shake. To use the power he inherited from the divine to heal Nemurin. Would it not be fully admitting that he himself simply gave up and took the easy way out? Izuru cherished what fragments of humanity he had left. He'd sacrificed that very same humanity for the power to do what he had to. Yet now he missed being human. Closing his eyes, he tried to think of something to do. White light shone through his retinas. Looking in front of him, he saw a figure in white. Blond hair and hetero-chromatic eyes. He gestured to the girl laying injured on the bed and looked at Izuru with a smile on his face. Blinking, everything was as it was. Izuru looked around for the person he saw and his breathing became unsteady. When he stabilized, he recalled something he heard once. "Sometimes its not about saving everyone...its about saving those you can" whispered Izuru as he got up and held his hand toward Nemurin. They needed to try anything they could at this point. Izuru holding back helped no one.

"Salvation" said Izuru as he focused the divine healing spell on Nemurin.

Nemurin was being bandaged and her wounds treated, all while she rested on her bed.

As the Salvation was performed, three identical daggers would slip out of the healing wounds.

Well then.

That's one problem out of the way.

"Who makes throwing knives this fancy? No point if you're just going to lose them," the Commander says, picking one up.

The blood that remained on her skin just peeled off as a result of the healing spell.

"NEMURIN!"

The pinkette began to smile - first time she did in her limited time interacting with anyone here. She prepared to hug Nemurin, before Luna created a temporary barrier between her and Nemurin.

"She looks fine now, but let us refrain from anything to vigorous until we know that she can handle it."

"My bad..."

"Thank you for leading me back here... Snow White..." Nemurin says, placing her hands on the pinkette. From her mannerisms, Nemurin still seemed a bit weakened and lacking in energy, but her cloud-like accessories were smiling, even if they were sleeping soundly as opposed to being wide awake as they usually would.

"Ah, so you are her," Luna turns to Snow White, "Nemurin has told me stories about you."

You're certainly a lot less happy than she described. Is everything alright?

"Well, it has been a long while since we met. Time changes people," Snow White replied - but to what exactly?

Luna covered her mouth with her hooves. "I didn't say that out loud, did I?"


Fortunately, Sougo would not be able to see anyone barging in in the near future - not a sign. No one came in or out of the house.

Louise backed off, staying at a respectful distance. They don't need your help. In fact, you probably just hindered them. If she died, it would've been your fault, wouldn't it? Just like everything else. If you hadn't gone to that party-
Shut up.
She slipped silently past the others, exiting the house. Some fresh air would do her good, maybe give her space to think. She did have the presence of mind to grab her fire poker on the way out- just in case she ran into any trouble.

"Thank goodness..." Sougo sighs aloud, seeing that the future doesn't involve their little hideout being attacked. He turned around, seeing that Nemurin is finally up and about alongside the pink clad girl he let in. She as introduced as Snow White, an acquaintance of Nemurin.

"This could be a hint from her assailant." Woz says, snatching the knife from the Commander's hands. "They definitely did not like your organization going around snooping in Nightmares and is most likely attempting to inhibit the progress of her investigation." He deduced, handing the knife to Sougo, who proceeded to examine it for any insignia of some kind.

"If Woz is right, then the Beast you're all after definitely has some strong allies." Sougo tells the other Dreamscapers, fiddling with the knife after examining it. "I think it's best if we try and capture them so we can learn more about our enemy."
