"Okay." Jalie seems to not be all there as she enters Abigail's mind and places a thought. *Go inside.* It seems to Abigail that it's her own thought. While Jaile is able to manipulate minds, she cannot control them. She can only make suggestions. Most of the time it works, not all the time though.
"I placed a thought in her head, I could place more if it doesn't seem to work. But for now, it depends on whether she listens to *her* thoughts or not." She makes air quotes with her fingers when she says *her thoughts*.
"Oh god..." Jalie's ears lay down flat against her head. "Are you guys okay?" She turns toward Ren and Azumi as they come back in.
She nods at Jonathan. "Yeah, I really don't like the idea of drowning in sand."

I suppose I have to be on guard. Mostly my equipment are on their lowest stage of energy.
That's what Futaba's think about. Her brain already working hard on how she should act when the enemy approach them and she came empty handed. She had to be reliant on her sense instead or her brain on how to escaping later because it seems that the others already have their magical power which is enough for them to face the sandman. Futaba felt like she can't do anything useful than the other people with their magic. Futaba felt a slight despair when it seems like the darkness started to engulfed her. You are useless. the voice on her head lingers. It was just like a strong headache come to Futaba as fast as the strange noise came with the tick mist.
"Aaaargh!!!" Futaba shrieked. The voice keep mocking on her inside.
You are worthless. You are useless without the tools. You can't do anything. The voice keep rumbling.
"Stop it." Futaba felt the immense pain on her head. It was hurt. She covers her head with her arms before Turuilla came to hug her and the sand particles bombarded them. "P-please....Be safe..." Futaba was almost cried being covered by Turuilla's arm. She felt chill when Ren, Azumi and Jalie went outside to capture the unknown girl.

Everything seemed to happen so quickly, Turuilla holding onto the clearly distressed Futaba. "W-what's wrong? Hey-" Turuilla tried talking to Futaba. Ren and Azumi came back asking about a hiding place.
Think...think.
"Erm.." Turuilla looked around, trying to find something...anything they could use. It was then she spotted the stairs leading upstairs. "There's a bedroom up there!" She called out, walking to Jalie and entrusting the distressed Futaba to her. "Ren, Azumi, can you go up there to it? Cal and I couldn't explore the room fully but there was a window. Maybe..maybe we can find something useful in there or better- escape the window? I don't know." Turuilla took a shaky breath, rolling up her sleeves and going to a nearby bookshelf. Her , now green, eyes glanced to Jonathan.
"Well I don't have the items you need but...are you strong enough to move these-" With a huff, Turuilla began thrusting books from their place. The books tumbled onto the floor. When the shelf was half empty the woman threw her shoulder into a lone bookshelf, sliding the bookshelf infront of the door. Turuilla panted and inspected her work. How was she strong enough to move that shelf...? It was physically impossible!
Turuilla didn't spend too long thinking, instead rushing to move another shelf infront of the windows. As she hurried, however, she spotted her own reflection in the mirror, horror painted her expression and she couldn't help but freeze.Once more her eyes had changed color...when?? They were now emerald green. How. Why? That wasn't normal! It was...
Inhuman.
Turuilla felt as if she could cry, clearly some personal realization coming to her head. She didn't want to dwell on it, she didn't want to talk about the inner fear that was causing her to panic. Turuilla merely walked to another bookshelf, throwing books aside to try and move another shelf infront of the window. However because she was internally panicking, Turuilla could hardly move the shelf- her own frame shaking. She sniffed and cursed under her breath.

"Futaba? Is she...okay...? Dammit it all this is starting to get out of hand for everyone here..." growled Jonathan as he then hears Turuilla's suggestion of using bookshelves to block the door and windows "Sure, if they aren't bolted to the ground, then we can move them and use them as barricades...hope they're strong enough to keep things out though..."
Jonathan would be able to help push the bookshelves to the windows with Turuilla's help...but when trying to do another one though, she stopped and looked quite distressed...
"Turuilla, what's wrong? You looked very...troubled..." said Jonathan "Things are really getting out of hand here... Gahhhhhh! Even I am about to lose it under this intense pressure... No! I must preserve...if we all lost hope now, all is lost..."
Jonathan would try and move the bookshelves himself if he has no other help...but he will be worn out after a while...

With Jonathan coming to help her, Turuilla and him would be able to cover the windows that presented a danger to them. Turuilla was surprised she was able to do anything; her mind plagued by the image of her own reflection in the mirror. "Green eyes..." She said sadly, looking to Jonathan and going up to him. Obviously it was more important that she focus on getting upstairs; hiding with the others and discussing plan B. However she was fearful on multiple levels.
"What color are my eyes?" She inquired to Jonathan, practically shouting at him. Her emerald green eyes looked on the verge of tears but she insisted anyway. "They are green aren't they? Or maybe it's all a mind game...yes maybe maybe..." The woman was spiraling; talking to Jonathan yet also talking to herself to try and self sooth.
She was human! That was that! But then why were her eyes changing colors...? Why as she able to move more than a normal person? Was she even human at all?
Turuilla whimpered, the sound of sand continuing to batter the house. The low lullaby penetrated the walls.
Where do my sheep hide? Are they asleep? How selfish, those sheep. Flaunting their sleep

"They are...indeed green... I don't know why you ask that, but that's not important right now. You'll be fine, I promise we'll get through this together no matter what happens." said Jonathan
Jonathan tries his best to comfort Turuilla, but of course he wants to comfort both Futaba and Jalie who are even in more distress. He would then follow Turuilla upstairs with everyone else.
"Figuring out plan B...if only I can do more, but..." said Jonathan

Futaba gasped. Because of the pain lingers over her head she can no longer hold herself. Turuilla has moved her to be with Jalie. Futaba's body shaken and she felt on the ground with her hands propped to her body. It seemed like the sandman started to create the illusions over the sands that bombarded them. The sand particles started to roam around along with the tick mist. With her distressed, Futaba felt onto the darkness.
You killed her...
"No..." The mysterious voice keep lurking on her mind along with the sand's voice; Where do my sheep hide? Are they asleep? How selfish, those sheep. Flaunting their sleep Futaba tried to knock her sense up. Futaba now in a deep sleep mode, under the illusions because of the low lullaby.
Why don't you say something!?
It's your fault!
"It's my fault..." Futaba whimpered. "It's my fault that Mom..."
You killed me! said the sand's sound, with eerie echoed sound.
You are going to die! There's no meaning to your life! No one needs you!
"Nobody cares about me.... Argh!" Futaba shrieked because the sound she heard on her head made it like a big ache.
You are the reason that your mother died! You are the reason that she committed suicide! Do you think your mother truly loves you? What about the suicide note? It was all written with the reason... it was you!
Futaba covered her head, trying as much as she could, as hard as she could to break free the illusions, to conquer the voice, to beat her fear. She blocked the darkness. She stood up. "It was a total lie!" Futaba screamed to her own illusions. "It's because I couldn't face myself, or Mom's death... I'm going to trust my own eyes and my own heart to distinguish the truth from the lies. I have my friends... I have my life.. I have the reason to go on... I'll... I'll never forgive you!!" Futaba screamed to the illusions knocked her sense back. With a jolt, she opened her eyes to this kind of reality, when her friends going to save her. She woke up. She glance at Turuilla whom tried her best to cover up their place by moving the book shelves and with Jonathan helped her.
Something happened around Futaba. She felt a great power coming out of her body. It illuminates. With her strong beliefs, she could defeat the illusion which had to attack her weakness state. But it's no longer happened. She is strong enough now. She earned this kind of magical abilities to sense her surrounding with more of data even without her goggles. She can also do some magic to heal others. She nodded at the plan B ideas.
"I'm more than ready to defeat the illusions now!" Futaba yelled to everyone, hoping that it could motivate the others enough to grasp onto each other's back.
You killed her...

Everything was getting out of hand as the Sandman slowly arrived at his next victims' location. Azumi and Ren proceeded to go up to the bedroom, searching frantically for any semblance of something that may aid them in this fight for their lives. Book after book, closet after closet, they kept searching until Ren found something. The truth, hidden inside a drawer. You were no victim, but a monster, it said to Ren. Azumi sensed this and shook Ren rapidly in order for himself to snap out of the trance. It was too late. Azumi lost her hold on Ren and started to slowly dematerialize. She knew that Ren could not maintain her with whatever was affecting his mind right now. Even so, She kept shaking Ren and using every spell she could use on him in a desperate attempt to release him from the Sandman's grip.
And then, a dark blob formed beside the pair, shifting and turning until it formed into a shadowy Ren
Treasoner, A voice in his mind called out.
It seemed the clone was speaking through telepathy
i]Neither hero nor villain, but a monster nonetheless. You and your familiar thought you could escape your past, yet here we are. You ruined countless lives with your rebellion, your so called ability to think freely using reason. Now, your fears have been realized and you will pay for all you have done.[/i]
The voice laughed darkly. I remember now, Ren thought to himself. He was a treasoner. He was an abomination. He was ruthless, uncaring, cleverly manipulative. He did ruined peoples lives. But for what reason? He knew. It was because many people threatened to ruin his loved ones back. He joined them because of the pointless fighting between his earth and other planets. He fought to fight wars to end all wars and to minimize the killing done during the course of his career as one of them. He ruined lives because the people he ruined sought destructive objectives wrought by their own greed. He was a rebel, sure, but he was a rebel of justice. Of reason.
Azumi watched as the only thing she could do was stand there as she faded, her form becoming less tangible. As what was left of her head shed its last tears, she soon started reforming into a more physical state. Dumbfounded by this miracle, she stood in shock as Ren's shadowy clone dissolved into a fine dust, cursing all the while in defeat.
"Mom", Ren called out to her as he collapsed. Azumi caught him in time with magic
"Yes, dear?", She asked, tears spilling
"I'm sorry I remebered. Everything"
"It's okay darling", She paused and realized something,"Can you fight?"
"Yeah"
So, the two former treasoners walked out of the bedroom. Each materialized their weapons. a bow that had a small harp attached to it wielded by Azumi and a stunning pistol and staff wielded by Ren. As Ren commanded Azumi to sing, her voice echoed loudly and she played the song of hope. Ren used his staff to play something akin to a cello or other similar stringed instrument.
Our song of hope, she dances on the wind higher, oh higher
E'er our vows endure, and remain forever strong
Standing tall in the dark do we carry on
On wings of hope, you rise up through the night higher, oh higher
Carrying our song, cradled fast within your arms
That its chorus might ring for all!
Whatever spell Azumi had sung and Ren had played, it would hopefully shield them from the sandman's onslaught and amplify their current abilities if the spell had worked.
((Btw sorry if the video involves a character from the game dancing silly. I hope it doesn't detract from the seriousness of the situation. The song itself is pretty good and is from FFXIV called "Footfalls". Try it out if you got the time
))

Jonathan was dumbfounded and confused as to what's going on, first Futaba awakening to newer and stronger power as evidenced by holographic monitors surrounding her, and then now Ren and Azumi who are brandishing powerful weapons and creating a strong force field to protect everyone.
"What's going on? Where are everyone getting such incredible powers coming from? ...Well, I shouldn't complain, at least it does look like we do have a real shot at getting through this now..." said Jonathan "...Though I wish I could help more than just standing around doing nothing without any direction on how to proceed... And none of what I have, or have remembered, can really help us in this situation... If only I could..."
Then Jonathan's pendent moved a bit inside of his long coat, making him react and pull it out. He remembered he couldn't open it through physical means no matter how hard he tried...but then he realized if he can't open it through physical means...
"Wait...perhaps my magic will...?" mumbled Jonathan
Jonathan then proceeds to use his internal magic to manipulate the locket in order for it to open...but then all of a sudden an electrical spark shocked Jonathan that made him yelp in a bit of pain...
"Ughhhhhh...what was that...? That shock just came out of nowhere..." said Jonathan
Unbeknownst to Jonathan, again the pendent hides a very dark secret...a secret if revealed would lead him into the deep darkness of an actual living nightmare...
"...Tch...guess there's nothing I can really do in this situation, huh...?" said Jonathan as he watches on what happens next

"What in the world is happening?" Jalie was surrounded by basically chaos, especially compared to what she's used to. She shrugs and watches as everyone develops new or stronger powers. "Huh." She feels a bit useless, but they all seem to be doing fine.
Jalie walks over to Jonathan. "Do you know what's happening to them?" She asks quietly. I wish I knew what to do so I could be helping too, at least it seems like they've got everything under control though I guess. "Do you have new or extra strong powers too now?"

"I personally have no clue what's going on...other than what appears to be them powering up and getting newer abilities... As for me, no I haven't gotten any new powers...I haven't done anything that would've allowed me to re-tap into my true potential especially having lost all of my memories, and have now regain all but a certain few..." said Jonathan as he then takes out and looks at his locket "I wonder if this locket might hide something would allow me to remember the rest of my memories, but...when I tried opening it through physical means it won't open; and when I tried using magic to open it, it shocked me... I feel like this locket is trying to hide something dangerous from me, which might have caused that shock reaction...but... Perhaps it's probably for the best, but it still pains me not knowing what's inside of it... Anyway, I guess we'll just leave this up to those three. Let's stay calm and watch what happens."
"You lost your memories? I know it really isn't my place.. but I could help you remember them if you would like." Jalie offers. While she knows that he really doesn't have a reason to trust her or anything, she felt if he wants help she should offer it. "Oh.. if you think it's dangerous maybe you're right and you should keep it closed though."
She nods and watches the others, making sure they don't need help. "Yeah.."
She nods and watches the others, making sure they don't need help. "Yeah.."
While the others had been gaining new or stronger powers, Callisto had been upstairs in a trance. She suddenly snapped out of it, not knowing when or how she'd gone up there. Instead of dwelling on it, she raced downstairs to check on everybody. What she didn't know, was her powers were slowly, fully, returning to her.
"Is everybody okay?" Callisto called as she skipped the last few steps, "I'm sorry I...disappeared."
"Is everybody okay?" Callisto called as she skipped the last few steps, "I'm sorry I...disappeared."
"Well...this is quite...very conflicting... One side of me really wants me to know, but the other side doesn't let me know because it's very dangerous... Somehow...subconsciously...it's really telling me that it's very dangerous, and may actually be the main contributing factor as to why I'm here in this strange world... I just...I just don't know... I definitely need more time... But I do appreciate the offer though..." said Jonathan as Callisto was coming in with the group "Ah, Callisto, over here. Let Ren, Azumi, and Futaba handle this."
Turuilla looked to Futaba in surprise, and soon enough Ren and Azumi came down. They weren't freaking out like her...rather they looked empowered. Sure of themselves. How could she become like that...?
Turuilla walked over to the mirror looking at her eyes again. The woman always saw it as a bad thing- her eyes changing; not being human. Not fitting in. Yet every time she went on her new assignments for work the same thing would happen. Her eyes would change, and her parent-appointed co workers never seemed bothered. It wasn't normal!
How could she ever fit in like that?
"..."
But these people before here weren't normal. Infact being normal somewhat set her apart in this situation. Did she have animosity towards anyone here? No...infact she admired them for how beautiful and unique they all were.
Maybe she could come to accept herself like this too..."normal" or not.
Turuilla took a deep breath, Feeling the calm of self acceptance wash over her. The woman felt lighter and the sand outside, as a result became less threatening.
That's when it hit her. Turuilla seemed surprised. "Facing our fears...that's it. That's it ya'll!" Turuilla laughed lightly. "We have to face our fears and once we can do that, maybe this situation and this sandman become less threatening." Turuilla smiled to Futaba, Ren and Azumi before looking to Jonathan,Jalie and Cal. "Cal, Jalie, what do you fear? Jonathan...I think your locket has the answer to your escape too..."

"Cal, Jalie, what do you fear? Jonathan...I think your locket has the answer to your escape too..."
(( Hehe...you really want to know, huh...? Well...alright then... Don't say I didn't warn anyone and everyone involved 
))
"What do I fear...? Well...that's a good question... Well, the fact that I don't know all of my memories is pretty frightening...but... Knowing that I have missing memories still isn't the main cause...it's what is it is the main factor..." said Jonathan as he then looks at his locket "...And I think this locket holds the key to it all...the last bit of missing memories that's locked away... I'm...scared... Scared of whatever I find out about this locket is going to cause a lot of pain and problems for everyone involved...but if it's going to help us escape this world to get back home...then..."
Jonathan then focuses his mana again into the locket, trying to force it open. Once again the locket tries to shock Jonathan out into not forcing the locket open...but this time he manages to fight through the painful shocks as it constantly produces a lot of sparks that everyone can see... Jonathan does his best to keep his distance from everyone as the sparks continue to arc out all over the place in order to not let anyone be hit by a stray bolt. As Jonathan continues to fight the locket in order to force it open, the magical levels begin to constantly raise...light at first, but then even the most pure human can feel the strange magical sensations even by being somewhat close to Jonathan... Jonathan had to fight to fight the locket a little more than three minutes, each minute that went by the struggle and sparks get more and more intense...until suddenly it all stops and Jonathan lost his grip on the locket; even it's neck chain was destroyed in the aftermath... Jonathan's locket fell on the bed...as then a distinct click was heard as the cover slowly opens... Inside Jonathan's locket there was a picture...a picture of him, and someone else...a woman... The woman looked very beautiful with her blue hair, blue eyes, and wearing the most majestic dress as if she's a princess. The two were smiling happily in the picture.
When Jonathan slowly goes up to open locket to see what's inside...
"There's a picture in here... That's me on the left, and...who's this...? This woman...why is she--wait...hold on... This person...this woman... something about her looks so...familiar..." said Jonathan
It's like Jonathan's entire view went completely dark...nothing but the creepy black emptiness around him... The silence was both eerie and frightful...even outside Jonathan looked like he was frozen in time...soon having a creepy confused dour look on his face... Slowly the memories was starting to appear in his deep conscious mind, bits and pieces but it was more than enough for Jonathan to connect the dots...he knows this woman, she was his alchemy partner for many years even when starting out his alchemy career... It starts off when Jonathan first rescue her from a pack of monsters while out gathering ingredients during a class assignment; then the two decide to be alchemy partners with him act as a bodyguard while the woman enrolled into the academy; as time went by the duo meet all sorts of interesting people that affected the course of alchemy schooling years, eventually graduating and attending another academy as an additional assistant bodyguard, and then graduated from there too. Eventually the duo soon went their separate ways, but still keeps in contact with everyone now and then, even having a big reunion that he has planned which it was definitely the best and happiest day of their own lives...but it was then soon afterwards it took a very drastic and dark turn...
The last bit of memories that Jonathan would remember, he would then relive all of that very vividly like he was back in time...and during that time...
"******, we managed to stop the Genesis from moving, but... It's only a matter of time before it wakes up again to try and destroy both my world and the mana world... If it wakes up again...we won't be able to stop it...not on our own... We're both at our limits, and have very little supplies left in order to sustain ourselves...also that fight went on for nearly eight hours, non-stop... Heh...it reminded me so much that one when I had to fight all of those punis while taking Puniyo's place along with Raze and the Taro Brothers...of course the Genesis is way worse than all of that times one hundred...and it's just only one big enemy..." said Jonathan, chuckling at the end since he was trying to make a joke despite being in such a perilous situation that may spiral out of control soon...
Soon a woman appears magically besides Jonathan as she fells to her knees and was panting rather heavily...
"Yeah, I know you're tired too, ******... For you to manage to stick by me all of this time, even though you don't do any of the actual fighting yourself, you definitely went way beyond the call of duty...I hope I didn't rung you completely dry on your mana..." said Jonathan
"...I'll...be fine... I just...need to...rest..." said the woman
"You need more than just rest, ******..." said Jonathan as he then opens up his pouch to take out a powerful elixir for the woman to take and drink "Take it, and drink it. I won't take no for an answer..."
"But...isn't that your..." asked the woman
"I still got more, and even then I got other potions still that can help with the healing and mana regeneration. Just take it..." said Jonathan
"...I'm so sorry, Jonathan..." said the woman as she then slowly and weakly takes the elixir out of Jonathan's hands and drinks it
"Don't be." said Jonathan
As much as the two would've gotten a break from all of the fighting they had to go through...unfortunately the Genesis is starting to slowly wake up again...
"Ah, dammit it all! It's waking up a lot more sooner than I expected!" said Jonathan as he then thinks very deeply on what to do in this situation "Both of us are very tired, and no one can really come to our aid in this situation...everyone else is fighting their own battles to prevent both worlds from being overrun and destroyed...we're truly all alone out here with this guy... Everyone believes in us, we can't let everyone down... But...even with all of our efforts...we just can't put him down for good... It's like the both of the Mana Kings has said...the Genesis is truly unstoppable once it's activated...and even worse there's no absolute way to stop it... If that's the case, then I think there's only one way I can think up...naturally this will definitely kill me, but if it'll save ******, everyone else, and both our worlds...then it's a very small price to pay...even if it means that it'll make everyone else really sad in the end...especially..."
As the Genesis was recovering, even the woman can see how very desperate and despair the situation is...and though she couldn't read Jonathan's thoughts, she knew what was likely going to happen... But instead she has other plans...
"Jonathan, we have to act now before it fully recovers and moves again! Right now it's at it's most vulnerable!" cried the woman
"I know...and I think I know how we can put it down for good, but... You're not going to like this idea...I'm sure you know what I'm talking about..." said Jonathan
"...The forbidden final technique that costs the user's life..." said the woman
"...It had to be done... I'm so sorry for everyone back at home, but...if this could save everyone, then..." said Jonathan
"...I know..." said the woman
"But of course who I should be really sorry to is--" said Jonathan as he then slowly looks at the woman
The woman soon gets up and gently floats to hug Jonathan really snuggly.
"...I know...and I understand..." said the woman
"...I love you, ******..." said Jonathan
"And I love you back, Jonathan..." said the woman
Without saying or doing anything more, the two resolve themselves to their fates in one final and desperate act. Jonathan uses up not only his all of his mana energy but also life energy itself to power up and down one final attack before the Genesis could wake up...but doing the process of this final gambit, the woman had other plans in store, but in fact she had knew this was going to happen...as what Jonathan didn't know is that this technique actually sacrifices the mana's life instead of the partners... As the technique was implemented on it's final stages, Jonathan then notices something was very wrong, he didn't feel as much pain as he expected him to go through...and it was then that he sees the woman in front of him between both him and the Genesis...for the last time...
"******?! What are you doing?" asked Jonathan
"Saving both you and everyone else. I'm...so sorry, Jonathan... I held back this important piece of information because I knew if you know the full truth behind it that you'll had never attempted to use this technique..." said the woman
"You held back some important information about the technique?! What are you--" said Jonathan as he then caught on which made him realize in absolute horror "NO!! ******!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!"
"It's the only way... I wanted you and the others to live in a world full with peace and fun for the rest of your days...this was my destiny from the very beginning as both a pure mana and mana princess with the role as oracle..." said the woman
"NO!! No...please...no... What's a world where you're not in it? If you were to go this far...I'm going down with you, no matter what you say...!" said Jonathan angrily
"I'm afraid that's impossible...this technique requires a mana's soul to use..." said the woman as she then lets out a sigh "Let's keep this short...the longer we go, the more painful it's going to be for the both of us..."
"******!!" cried Jonathan
"Goodbye...Jonathan...my one true love..." said the woman
"******!! Au****!! Auro**!! AURORAAAAA!!" cried Jonathan
And at that point, the vision stops within Jonathan's mind...and with that he managed to regain all of his memories, all of his past experiences when it comes to his alchemist career...and even more important remembering the woman that he had loved dearly even if she was a mana and him a human... It was then that things then soon started to take a turn for the worse... Just as Ren, Azumi, and Futaba got better and more powerful...the exact opposite happened with Jonathan as then his mana started to flow out of control in a hazy red aura surrounding, causing reddish-black ice to form around him and encroaching the bedroom fast while also making the room colder really fast...
"A living nightmare? How interesting. How wonderful."
As things continue to develop, definitely spiraling out of control, Jonathan's body soon started to change... His long coat soon changed into armor...but the color is different from what he normally seen in; from blue shades to red shades...
"Aurora... Aurora... Auroraaaaaaa!!" cried Jonathan, getting even louder and louder
Soon, without any warning, Jonathan would brandish his magical sword...and proceeds to attack anyone on sight...! Futaba was first on his sights!
(( Sorry for the very long post, but I feel like I had to put in the middle part as context to the "living nightmare" that Jonathan is suffering from, and is the main cause of his memory loss; and as such it can be skipped over. And, yes, I was planning on having him to fight everyone at some point, but I didn't expect to force it this soon. ))
))"What do I fear...? Well...that's a good question... Well, the fact that I don't know all of my memories is pretty frightening...but... Knowing that I have missing memories still isn't the main cause...it's what is it is the main factor..." said Jonathan as he then looks at his locket "...And I think this locket holds the key to it all...the last bit of missing memories that's locked away... I'm...scared... Scared of whatever I find out about this locket is going to cause a lot of pain and problems for everyone involved...but if it's going to help us escape this world to get back home...then..."
Jonathan then focuses his mana again into the locket, trying to force it open. Once again the locket tries to shock Jonathan out into not forcing the locket open...but this time he manages to fight through the painful shocks as it constantly produces a lot of sparks that everyone can see... Jonathan does his best to keep his distance from everyone as the sparks continue to arc out all over the place in order to not let anyone be hit by a stray bolt. As Jonathan continues to fight the locket in order to force it open, the magical levels begin to constantly raise...light at first, but then even the most pure human can feel the strange magical sensations even by being somewhat close to Jonathan... Jonathan had to fight to fight the locket a little more than three minutes, each minute that went by the struggle and sparks get more and more intense...until suddenly it all stops and Jonathan lost his grip on the locket; even it's neck chain was destroyed in the aftermath... Jonathan's locket fell on the bed...as then a distinct click was heard as the cover slowly opens... Inside Jonathan's locket there was a picture...a picture of him, and someone else...a woman... The woman looked very beautiful with her blue hair, blue eyes, and wearing the most majestic dress as if she's a princess. The two were smiling happily in the picture.
When Jonathan slowly goes up to open locket to see what's inside...
"There's a picture in here... That's me on the left, and...who's this...? This woman...why is she--wait...hold on... This person...this woman... something about her looks so...familiar..." said Jonathan

[OOC: Wow this is getting more and more interesting~ ^^)
Just like her awakening power amidst the attack from the sandman that came from facing her fear about the death of her mother who left her suicide note over the dawn, Azumi and Ren also gained their truest power prune to the nightmare. It looks fascinating that Azumi and Ren casted protection to the people and their power symphonize about the new strong elements on them. "That's right, Turuilla! Face your fear, bravely!" Futaba shrieked about their condition that having possibility to win over the sandman's illusion. But, over the great achievement they had, they also got the worse installment from Jonathan. It seems like Jonathan's nightmare was turned the opposite gain from them.
Jonathan's appearance had changed to become more armory, his manner had gone to berserk. Futaba sensed an immense danger from Jonathan that she quickly cast protection to everyone, even though she was being the first target. She clicked this visible green-monitor that floating around her and pressed the button.
"Jonathan, wake up! Brace yourself! You are stronger than the sandman! Face your fear!!" Futaba said in hope that her voice could touch the deepest heart of the kind Jonathan.
Futaba cast protection for everybody

"Crud!" Ren cried out "He's frenzied!"
"Not if I refuse to let it happen!" Azumi smirked.
As Azumi went off to assist Futaba, Ren briefly approached Turuilla. The face that was slightly covered by the hood he wore smiled at her and told her, "We all have something to be afraid of. It's just a matter of how we deal with it". He then went off to assist Azumi and Futaba, the former singing another song.
"Today's performance is the song of tomorrow!!", Azumi smiled and bowed, "Try and outpower yours truly!"
And so she sang:
"For whom weeps the storm
Her tears on our skin
The days of our years gone
Our souls soaked in sin
These memories ache with the weight of tomorrow
Who fights?
Who flies?
Who falls?
Stand tall, my friend
May all of the dark lost inside you find light again
In time tumbling, turning, we seek amends
Eternal winds to the land descend
Our journey will never end"
This song is meant to calm Jonathan's madness. If it works, Azumi shall continue singing the song to ensure he calms down completely.
Ren, on the other hand is shooting at Jonathan with non-lethal concussive rounds from his trusty stunning pistol.
"Snap out of it!", Ren yelled at Jonathan. He knew words were not enough to soothe his rage, but it was worth a try.
"Not if I refuse to let it happen!" Azumi smirked.

Everyone calling out for Jonathan to face his fears and encouragement...unfortunately fell on dead ears... His mind was clouded with constant fears, overwhelming sadness, and worse of all...deep inescapable despair... Jonathan continues his attack, but then Fubata's quick thinking in casting protect managed to stop his attack on her as the magical sword was stuck and hang in mid-air.
"What?!" cried Jonathan very angrily
Then Azumi's turn came in with her song, and while it didn't ultimately calm Jonathan down, it did however stun him long enough for Ren to get as much pot shots on the stunned Jonathan.
"Gahhhhhh!!" screamed Jonathan
Ren's attack was proven to be actually more effective than anyone could realize as the shots actually disabled Jonathan that he slumps over while breathing very heavily. This then causes the reddish-black ice to stop forming and encroaching the entire room...but then something strange was also happening... A dark gassy shadow soon manifests over Jonathan, it was pretty creepy with it's glowing piercing yellow pupil-less eyes... It only appeared for about several seconds before disappearing...and then Jonathan was once again active and is on a rampage again... This time Jonathan set his sights on Ren who shot at him a couple of times...but this time something made his face looked both incredibly surprised and very confused...
"You?! Genesis?! No!! Impossible!! How could you be alive?!" cried Jonathan...as then suddenly his face as turned into pure uncontrollable rage... "You... YOU!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
Jonathan very easily mistakes Ren as the Genesis from who he battled, considering him as the biggest threat, he then proceeds to attack Ren with a powerful sword thrust while standing in place to fire an intense funnel of icy wind. The attack is actually more designed to destroy the entire bedroom and bookstore around them than to injure...his rage is preventing him from thinking straight, acting completely wild and doing random things... While soon likely being exposed to the elements outside, the strong icy winds would've frozen and batted away all the sand surrounding them...to everyone's surprise, Jonathan's rage is actually protecting them from falling into the sandman's tricks and traps... Jonathan's next attack...
"I'll kill you with my Cocytus Break!!" cried Jonathan in pure rage
Jonathan jumps up very high in the air before very quickly comes crashing down with his sword planted on the ground...which would then cause waves of reddish-black ice gushing out attacking everyone all around indiscriminately... Fortunately for everyone that since the entire bookstore would've destroyed, it gives everyone more room to dodge his attacks than being enclosed in a small space, such as the bedroom.
"What?!" cried Jonathan very angrily

((Sorry ya'll i've been pretty busy and not able to really keep up! Please continue on without Turuilla though and feel free to do whatever you'd like with the sandman. Let your creativity run wild! ))
