"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.

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?"
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..."

[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.

"Oh, uh.. my fear..." My adoptive parents.. no. Feeling trapped. Jalie thinks. I'm afraid of them though.. right? So it should count? She tried to convince herself even though she knew it wasn't the right answer. "It's uh... my adoptive parents.." Jalie says this as if she's convincing herself.
"Jesus... this place is utter chaos.." She mutters while watching Jonathan. Jalie glances at the others to see if they know what's wrong, although she figured they wouldn't.
Jalie gracefully dodges his attacks. She sighs, I didn't want to have to do this.. but it looks like I have to. Jalie takes a deep breath before entering Jonathan's mind.
"Jonathan, you need to calm down. You're gonna hurt someone. Face your fears, I know you have it in you." She speaks to him in his mind. She keeps her voice soothing as the words float through his mind. While she does this she stays just aware enough of her surroundings to stay out of the way. "You're safe, but we need your help."

Camry woke up and was immediately alarmed. He was on a concrete road when he was just....wait where was he?! He didnt remember anything but this place, not even the guns he had on his hips. He stood up keeping both hands on his six-shooters and looked around...or as much as he could with all the fog. He spotted a bookstore and looked in the window and watched as a group of people seemed to be yelling at an attacking boy. Confused, he continued watching as the girl he was attacking easily escaped his blows. "These people... are they friends or hostiles?" He ducked under the window and leaned against the wall to avoid being seen. "Where am I?" 'Wasn't I doing something?" He thought. Confusion filled him as he leaned back against the wall.

She was watching Jonathan fight everyone, and she stepped back behind a bookshelf to dodge his attacks. Suddenly, a feeling of utter fear washed over her, along with nausea. Callisto felt weak and yet full of...power.
She stumbled over to Jalie and tapped her shoulder, "Jalie...I don't...I don't feel so good. I think something's happening to me..."
Suddenly Callisto fell, barely catching herself on the bookshelf behind her.

Jalie's attention turns toward Callisto and she helps catch her. "Oh god.. um okay.." She tries to think of what to do. She scoops up Callisto in her arms and carries her to a somewhat quieter, calmer area. Jalie sets her down and looks at her face for signs of... anything really. "I know you said you don't feel good but how do you feel? Like, what do you feel like?" Jalie looks at her with concern.
Jalie can sense Camry's presence. Despite her morals she enters his mind to warn him. "I'm Jalie, the one with the bunny ears. It's probably best not to hide right now, his attacks are sporadic and not very well thought out. Be careful, oh and don't hurt him, we're working on getting him to calm down. Also, sorry for entering your mind... I just wanted to warn you."

Camry nearly jumped out of his skin after hearing the voice in his head. He knew it may be dumb but he desperately thought in his head, "What can I do to help" in hopes of communicating with this jalie person.
(( I suppose I can write at least some response to Jalie's attempt at peering through Jonathan's mind as I wait for two particular people to respond. I hope she's prepared on what she's going to be seeing though... @Camry: You can jump in fine, but just be forewarned about the big battle taking place. @Kotomi: No problem, this is more or less within my control thanks to the big battle taking place. ))
As Jalie tries to communicate through Jonathan's mind by peering inside...she got way more than she'd bargained for hoping to free him from his confusion and rage... Inside Jonathan's mind, Jalie can see nothing but bright red all around, followed by his yells and screams as the battle rages on. Periodically, Jalie would be able to see instant flash snippets of Jonathan's memories of his past...but it only lasts for just a second as it was all but pandemonium with Jonathan's mind right now... As much as Jalie tries to calm Jonathan down through this method, it'll unfortunately prove to be ineffective, especially with Jonathan's current mana swelling strongly out of control...nor he'll be able to listen to anyone as he was too blinded by rage and fear to listen to anyone either inside or outside... The only way to stop him is to fight him back with everything they can...because Jonathan won't give no quarter in return thanks to his current situation...

((Mind if I drop in?))
After a rather intense nightmare that eventually had her tossing, turning and even groaning in her sleep, though that groaning did escalate into crying and screaming, Paramedic and Expectant Mother would awaken, breathing heavily as she sat up, her cheeks stained with tears. But...she wasn't in her room...But rather, she was in a hospital room. Which was empty. There was no ambient noises of keyboards clicking or nurses and doctors walking about. Or even hospital beds being pushed around. And all the electronics that were situated in the room...were all deactivated, shut off. Except for some of the flickering and dim lights. The windows...open. Blinds up. Just a bunch of...fog.
Ashley took a moment to let the reality of whatever was going on sink in. Slowly, she got out of the hospital bed, onto her feet. Then looked at herself in the nearby mirror. Turning to the side, she frowned as she remembered how pregnant she was. Thirty-nine weeks...a week shy of her due date. Longer if the baby in her belly decides to be stubborn. Sighing, she straightened out her dress before proceeding to leave the hospital room, only accompanied by the silence and flickering lights. To her dismay, the elevator wasn't even working. Reluctantly, she took the stairs and continued until she made it to the ground floor, at which point she was out of breath due to the fact that she was very pregnant. Stopping for a moment to catch her breath, she did hear quite a bit of commotion now going on outside. Quite a bit of shouting too. She definitely wasn't in Boston anymore though.
Slowly, she made her way outside, towards the sound of the commotion and the shouting.
