"I'm sure it will be fine if you stay. We're just wary, and a bit stressed." Jalie glances back at the new person when she speaks. "I'm Jalie, by the way." His presence is odd. I don't think he's human... She looks back at Camry.

"I don't know, he hasn't answered yet. We might have to. Although, we'll have to be careful; He's in the middle of the room, on the floor I think. He's not really moving around either." Jalie gives Futaba a worried look. "His mind seems to be somewhat panicked."

((Sorry guys, school caught up with me))
Camry still couldn't move . It was like he could sense the people around but his mind was elsewhere. "Jalie, I can't move....need...help...please..." He thought desperately. He tried to summon the power of the gods but his body refused. "Jalie, you gotta do something, plea..." He wasn't even able to finish the thought before his entire body shut down, and slumped fully to the ground.

A yokai, he’s only ran into a few of those and none like Azumi. Her senses are sharp. He had not told anyone but Jonathan he’s from the afterlife. He wondered if it would be good idea to drop his disguise.

Sirius glanced worriedly in Ashley’s direction his shoulder’s slumped. He sighed, Two already know, it would be better if he’s honest. “I’m not noble at all, I do things because I want to. Not because some predestined God or human declares it so,” sirius red eyes seemed to glow. “I really don’t want you, to think differently of me,” he said that more to Ashley than anyone else. “I offended the Christian God by turning against him. I accepted his existence, but I would not bend my knee. I have committed atrocious acts as well as supposed noble deeds.

“Technically, I suppose I’m still immortal.” Not the type I want though, his mind supplied. “As long as no one casts light magic on me.”

Sirius released his human disguise, revealing his true image of a humanoid peacock. “I guess you could say I am a yokai as well, depending on your views. I thank you all for your kindness.”

Sirius’s chuckled at the crow’s actions. “Do forgive them.”

He turned his attention to Julie and futaba. “Perhaps I can help. Do you know if that room has a window?” If the situation is unknown, I would rather not open a door. Especially because of…” he didn’t finish speaking.

Meanwhile, Jonathan was getting close to the hospital...when suddenly he stopped and looked at a building covered all over in vines... He took a more different route in order to get back to base, so he managed to bump into this new area and building on his way back.

"A building covered in vines, huh? Hmmmmm..." said Jonathan

Jonathan then lightly sniffs the air...for some really strange reason... It was then that he notices something as he then smiles...

"Hey, little buddy. Hang here for a second." said Jonathan

Jonathan plants his shield on the ground standing face up as he then let his crow ally resting on it. Afterwards, Jonathan decided to head on into the building, cutting through some vines in order to make his way in. Nothing was happening inside at first, and then all of a sudden some glass breaking sounds was heard, followed by grunts and other sounds. This kept going for about ten minutes until it was all but silent... Soon afterwards, Jonathan came out as he then brushes himself off of all the dirt and vines.

"I'm glad I didn't take you inside with me...quite some crazy stuff was happening in there...especially the vines... But at least I got even more good stuff, and in fact one important ingredient in order to do my alchemy synthesis in the first place...some high-grade fertilizer... Now I definitely got everything I needed to really help out. It's definitely time to head back." said Jonathan

The crow then flies on over and perches on Jonathan's shoulder armor blade again as he then plants his runeblade back inside his shield and lifts everything up with one hand before putting it on his back all in one quick and very smooth motion. Jonathan then proceeds to make his way all the way to the hospital, arriving about 15 minutes after a slight detour.

"Heya, guys! I'm back~!!" said Jonathan with a smile and small tune...as he then notices Sirius and his new form... "Uhhhhhh...what the... A human...and a peacock...? What the hell is going on here?"

((It's alright, it happens, I completely get it.))

"Oh my god!" Jalie tries to open the door but it's locked. "I don't know if the room has a window." She sighs. "The one time I don't have a wire or bobby pin." She mutters. "I don't like the idea of breaking the door down, it could hurt him. But it might be the only choice we have."

Jalie doesn't seem fazed or surprised by Sirius's revelation. I figured as much.

She stares at the door for a second, before her eyes light up with an idea. Jalie crouches and looks at the crack, it's not a big space, but it's enough for her to squeeze through as a rabbit. "I'll unlock it from the inside."

Suddenly the air around her glitters as if small fireflies are flying around her. She turns into a small rabbit and squeezes herself underneath the door. A few seconds later she opens it for everyone else, back in her human form. She turns and kneels next to Camry.

Camry woke up... somewhere familiar. He sat up and realized he was on the sidewalk in New York. "Does that mean we got out? If not, why am I here?" He mused. "Camry, are you ok??" A little girl asks. He looks over and can't believe his eyes. He knew her and she was...dead. Abby was just as he remembered he on the day it happened. She wore a sleeveless pink shirt, white golf shorts, and her favorite hair bow. She was the sister of his best friend Jake. They were returning home from...the park, right? "If I'm back at that time, it means I'm 8 and she's 6." He thought. "Yeah, I'm fine." Camry replied, getting up. Abby ran ahead of him, forcing him to chase after her. "Hey, wait up!" He shouted. She looked around and laughed before running straight into a man in a business suit and falling down. Camry finally caught up and apologized for her. "I'm sorry sir, she's very clumsy." He said, smirking at her. She stuck out her tongue. The man laughed but kept his eyes on her. It's fine, young man, and may I say that she is such a delicious....pretty looking girl..." All the alarm bells went off in Camry's head. "We should get going now" he said quickly, grabbing Abby's hand. Before he could take one step, however, he felt a hand on his shoulder. "I don't think so..." the man growled. Camry felt himself lifted in the air and thrown like he was nothing. His head slammed on the pavement and he struggled to stand. Abby screamed as the man bit into her neck. "NO! STOP IT! Camry screamed, climbing to his feet. He rushed the man but just as he reached them, they simply vanished in a black cloud of smoke. Camry dropped to his knees. He had failed his friend and couldn't protect her. How could he help those other people? Then, the nightmare restarted, forcing him to relive it again.

The moment Jalie opened the door Sirius panicked. In his panic a shield wrapped around Ashley. His expression quickly morphed between rage and an unsettling calm. His tail unfolded displaying the grey with purple hues, greens and designs. The designs seemed to shift and morph with his emotional state. He walked over to the room, his tail slowly folding up.

Sirius’s eyes searched the room, his eyes landed on the table. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. A shield doesn’t protect from gas. His heart pounded. “If anything happens to that woman and her child. You will meet the captain I am not anymore.” Sirius moved his hand quickly summoning two dark purple ethereal love birds.

The love birds flew quickly in front of Ashley. They moved at an incredible sped in front of her, creating a contained vortex of wind to waft away the possibility of anything coming toward her.

Jalie ignores Sirius as she watches the scene unfold in Camry's head. Her expression turns to that of shock and horror and she watches as it restarts. It plays over again. "He's having a... nightmare of some sort. It's a memory, something he went through in the past. It just keeps replaying."

Her eyes close and Jalie looks almost as if she's in a trance. She forces the scene to stop and she appears in front of Camry. "Hey, it wasn't your fault. You were a child, don't blame yourself." She speaks to Camry, in his mind, in a soft, calming tone. She waits, at this point she can see and hear all of his thoughts.

Sirius took a deep breath and stepped back. He let his emotions over run him. “Purification would be best and an analysis should be done.” Those two didn’t seem to be effected. He over reacted. Sirius glanced down. “What ever it is don’t touch anything with out some sort of protection.”

The shield faded around Ashley and the love birds ceased their actions. He probably scared and stressed that woman out. He isn’t needed near this room. Sirius walked away. He should give them space.

Sirius trailed from the group down a different hallway. He found a vacant room with an open door at the end entered it, and closed it. The love birds remained behind, softly cooing at Ashley. They perched high up.

He hears what Jalie says but doesn't believe it. "No, it was my fault, everyone said so. Everyone blamed me. They locked me away for her disappearance. I'm worthless, I'm nothing, I couldn't protect her. Now I use what I do to cover my pain. I'm a failure... I can't help you, I can't help anyone..." He sobs.

"Purification? Wait, don't touch what?" Jalie opens her eyes again and looks confused for a second before she returns her attention back to Camry. She closes her eyes again.

"But you can help us. You already have helped us. It really isn't your fault. He was much stronger than you... Did.. did they really lock you up for that? You were only a child!" Jalie walks over to him in this dream-like state and pats him gently on the back. "If you don't mind me asking, what is it that you do?"

"Yes, they thought I did something to her...even my friend didn't believe me.." He says quietly. "As for what I do... I'm a mercenary, mostly taking out people who treated others wrongly. It's easy to get away with it, considering my age and, well, size." He decided he trusted her, she had been nice and caring, and a slew of his memories formed. His mother tracing through time, her dying as she help him as a baby, the vampire killing Abby, him being pushed around in a cell, him healing a sick child...then everthing changed. Jalie disappeared and everyone in the nightmare place lay dead before him. He heard cold laughter as he whispered out, "Jalie...Jonathan.... guys.....please...don't leave me..."

Jalie groans in frustration and a bit of pain. She ignores it and pushes her way back to the front of his mind. I'm here. I won't leave you. She started to think to herself, trying to come up with ways to help. She didn't want to make him forget memories if it was unneeded. "What do you want me to do?" Jalie figured it might be best if he made the decision, or gave her an idea of what she needed to do to help.

"Please, just get me out....how ever you can" he begged Jalie. If someone could, she could, or at least she hoped so. Then he had an idea. "Jalie, leave me here. Go back out and look in my jacket...it's gonna be a lot of stuff but try to find a green potion. If you do, pour it in my mouth. Its a pain serum so it may just wake my up." Then he thought, "Or kill me," wincing when he realized Jalie probably heard.

As the scene unfolds, Jonathan was hoping to get some answers as to what's going on...but not being able to do so, he instead tries to see what's going on through his own eyes, seeing Camry on the floor with Jalie close by doing her thing... As he was hoping to ask was going on, instead all he heard was Camry's recent words...

"A green potion in his jacket... Hold on..." said Jonathan as he heads to the lobby area and closes his eyes, manifesting his magical power again "Echo..."

Jonathan sends out a single blue pulse which acts as a locating sonar to detect certain objects of whatever he chooses more easily. He would soon locate Camry's Jacket to look all over to find the green potion for him to drink as he quickly rushes on back to give it to him.

"I got the green potion, Camry. Hang in there, I'm giving it to you now." said Jonathan "I hope this works..."

Camry could tell when someone poured the potion in his mouth because the pain was devastating. He screamed in his dream and felt like his body was on fire. He could feel thst it wss to much and if he didnt heal soon, his body would turn to ash. He opened his eyes to see Jonathan holding a now empty potion bottle and Jalie kneeling beside him. "Need healing potion....in jacket...Jonathan, please...." He sputtered, hoping his friendo would understand. He didn't have long.

Jalie winces a little and lays her ears flat against her head when she hears Camry scream in his dream. She moves quickly to go through his jacket, pulling out various potions. "What color?" She asks, slightly panicked. She didn't know what potions were what.

Camry could feel himself blacking out..."Pur...ple" he choked out.

Jalie quickly opens the purple potion and pours it into Camry's mouth.

"Thanks..." He smiles at Jalie and Jonathan before bursting into flames. His body quickly turned to ashes and a sign of a Phoenix appeared. His body quickly grew into a baby, toddler, and eventually, his 15 year old body. He looked at the ground. "That tends to happen if I take opposite potions at the same time." He couldn't look them in the eyes... especially Jalie. He must seem so weak now....
