"So. Do you know how to summon create?" Ink asked Kat with his usual enthusiasm. Comforting, but scary.
"I told you I don't know!" Kat said.
"I think I can help." Carey said.
"Woah. Who are you?" Kat asked. They were in a bit of a shock from what was going on, and Carey wasn't helping.
"Hold still." Carey said.
"What?! No! Who are you?!" Kat said frantically. Ink was also very confused considering he couldn't see Carey.
"Uhhh- Kat? Who are you talking too?!" Ink asked.
Despite Kat's efforts, Carey touched Kat dead in the fore head.
"What are you-" Kat stopped themselves.
"Do you remember now?" Carey asked.
"My head- dang..." Kat said with a hand on their head.
"Kat? Are you ok?" Ink asked.
"I can't use Create now..." Kat said to Ink.
"What? Why not?" Ink asked.
"Because Nightmare will know. If memory serves me right... which it hasn't been doing a very good job, Nightmare can sense whenever I can use Create because of how much power it uses." Kat told Ink.
"How do you know this?" Ink asked.
"Don't worry, I think I can handle it." Carey said.
"Press Create And I'll do the rest." Carey told Kat.
"Got it." Kat said.
"Seriously though- Who are you talking too?" Ink asked still confused.
Kat pulled up the Create button.
"I thought you said you couldn't do it. What about Nightmare?" Ink asked.
"I have everything covered." Kat said as they used the button.
"I'm back, old friend." Kat said.  But it wasn't Kat. 
"Hey old friend!  Let's see what you can do!" Ink said. 
Kat shook their head. 
"Huh?" Kat was confused. 
"Aren't you gonna create something?" Ink said as though the previous conversation didn't happen. 
"Yep..." Kat said still confused from earlier. 
"I can't.  The amount of energy that it takes get sent throughout the multiverse, Nightmare would know." Kat explained. 
"Well, lets have Nightmare pay us a little visit!" Ink said as though he was gonna get to see an old friend. 
"Are you 100 percent sure?" Kat asked Ink. 
"Why wouldn't I be?" Ink said with his scary amount of enthusiasm. 
"You asked for it..." Kat said disappointingly as they pressed the button.  They thought about an illusion, a shield, like the one that Casey helped them summon. 
"Ok I did... It..." Kat said showing Ink the shield.  He looked weirdly amazed.  Like a 4 year old figuring out they were going to Disney. 
"Woah!" Ink said.  He reached to touch it but the shield faced through his hand. 
"It's an illusion." Kat told Ink. 
"You can't Create anything physical yet?" Ink asked. 
"No?  At least according to Casey." Kat said. 
In that moment a blob of goop emerged, but then Kat realized it was Nightmare and his goons who teleported here. 
"Told you." Kat told Ink.  He didn't look to worried. 
"Hey kid! Where've you been? Boss has been going ballistic- oh." Killer said to Kat. 
"No use in not doing it now.  Use Create." Ink told Kat. 
"Not like it can do anything but ok." Kat said as they pressed the button. 
*You felt yourself get flung back. 
*You are falling. 
Kat found themselves falling into darkness. 
"What's happening?" Kat asked still falling.  They couldn't tell where their hands were it was so dark. 
"Hey Kat." Casey said falling with Kat. 
"Hey... What's happening?" Kat asked still falling along side Casey. 
*Casey didn't respond. 
"Cakes?" Kat asked. 
*Casey's face look twisted.
"We need to figure out what's going on so we can get out there and help Ink!" Kat said. 
"Oh... Ha Ha. Your not going anywhere." Casey said as they pressed Create.  Something smashed Kat into the ground that seemed as though it wasn't there. 
"What was that for?!" Kat asked.  Casey merely smiled and prepared another attack.  This time Kat dodged.  It looked like an oversized grappling hook.  Weird weapon choice. 
"I have to get out of here." Kat said quietly, looking for something.  Anything. 
"Well, looks like your a little too tied up too find an exit." Casey said.  They looked even more psychotic than Nightmare. 
*Illusion!
Kat pressed the button, they made a black sheet to cover themselves and give them time to think.  It was so dark that Casey couldn't see Kat. 
"Where are you? Don't think we're done playing~" Casey said. 
Kat recollected their thoughts while Casey was blindly picking random spots to hit hoping it was Kat. 
They're in an unknown area... Casey somehow got a physical form and can use the Create button, and they have no exits.  Wait... Casey can't get a physical form without using their body... That means that we're inside my head. Kat thought intently.  A grappling hook gripped the side of the sheet and pulled it off Kat. 
"Found you~" Casey said. 
*Casey gave you a twisted smile. 
"$h!t..." Kat said aloud, dodging Casey's swings. 
"Did you really think you could hide from me?! In your own head..." Casey said.  Didn't think they were this psychotic. 
"In my own head?" Kat asked.  Maybe they could get some info. 
"I know you want answers... and it's not like you're gonna escape or anything, so I might as well tell you, we're in your head.  Every second you spend here, is happening out there too! The longer I keep you here, the longer I'm in control.  I can create, escape.  Oh and Ink, the only person who can truly feel the power of Create in that useless world, he can finally create as much as he wants when we get rid of Nightmare and Error."  Casey said. 
"Ink's in on it?!" Kat asked surprised. 
"Oh, did I forget to mention that~ woops!"  Casey said, noticing Kat was losing hope. 
"Just face it.  You can't get out of here.  And that's ok! It's better when I'm there anyway! That stupid button won't be such a waste!" Casey giggled in a way that reminded them of muffet. 
*You fell to your knees. 
"Shh it's ok! You can rest now." Casey said lifting Kat's chin. 
"And you're never waking up." Casey said.  Kat felt themselves immobile. Turning to stone.  It started at their fingertips and worked their way up.  Kat didn't care.  They weren't getting out.  
*You felt tired. 
All Kat wanted to do was sleep.  And never wake up again.  They could forget about this world.  It's not like it's theirs anyway.  It's better that Casey's here.  They're doing what's best. 
Silence.
