A/N: I HAVE RETURNED FROM THE GRAVE.

(I'll respond to all your comments sometime soon, don't worry!)

I've been away from writing for some time, so forgive me if I don't get back into the swing of things quite yet. :)

Scourge

The feeling was unsettling to her.

For the past day or so, she hadn't been able to feel Blue's presence in her mind.

In the real world, Maelstrom was talking to one of his associates, and she was called to accompany them for some reason, but she wasn't exactly focusing on their conversation.

"Well, the strategy worked out, didn't it?"

"Yes, but it cost us so much of our funds - bribing and assassinating people to keep things quiet was very... expensive, Maelstrom."

Apparently the associate was the person in power on the inside of the space center who had single-handedly kept all the evidence of the killings secret, but Scourge didn't care about the "how," "why," or "who" - she only cared about why her vessel had disappeared from her BRAIN.

"No worries! We have no need for funds anymore - after all, we have the means to do anything. I could have the entire world if I wished."

"... I guess you're right, sir."

Power-hungry fool, Scourge thought to herself, thinking he can harness the power of hundreds of alien symbiotes.

He's gone mad- no, wait, he probably did that before I got here.

He created a cult-sorta thing, for crying out loud.

Scourge licked her teeth, but for once, food was not the only thing she was thinking about.

Blue... where the f**k did you GO??

Blue

She was walking through an environment that kept changing every few minutes.

It was getting intensely CONFUSING.

Since Purple was nowhere to be seen, Blue was venturing through Scourge's subconscious by herself - which seemed to be a fruitless endeavor.

The environment kept changing, and there was also a tiny, teensy little detail - the fact that Blue didn't know where she was going.

"Did I come here for nothing?" Blue muttered only to herself.

There was no one else to talk to, not even Scourge.

Blue sat down on a tile floor that soon changed into the wet, mossy ground of a forest with a storm raging above.

"Purple?" Blue questioned. "Any ideas? Any brilliant plans?"

Nothing but the sound of rain and thunder answered her.

As the forest changed into a rumbling volcano raining ash upon a barren land below, Blue sighed unhappily.

"At this point, I kinda wish I died instead."

Red

Red looked around the Navigation room at Pink, Black, and the other unknown people who had decided to offer suggestions or listen in to the discussion.
