The Children (Sanscest)

Chapter 6 - Lost

Entry 3 t's been 5 hours, nether skeleton has come back. Embarrassment of the incident is gone now. Hopes of the seeing Pj or Crescent is long gone. I expect that they are both dead.

Cherry looks at Palette, the kid woke up about ten minutes ago. He's trying to heal himself now but any hopes of that seem futile. He's slapping himself awake anytime he catches himself falling back to the dream world.

Cherry finds himself on the brink of darkness as exhaustion and a still full belly pulls him into the sleeping realm.

"How much longer do we have to wait?"

Palette yawns and shrugs. "Maybe we can just go to bed and they'll tell us how it went in the morning."

"You couldn't have said 5 hours ago?"

Cherry gets up then helps Palette up and they head to the bedroom hallway.

"Well maybe we should see how their battle is going. The sparing arena isn't too far."

"Just tell me where to go."

Palette tells Cherry and the two make their way to a door. The door leads them to a hallways and another door. The two go through the door and take a seat on the stands.

They see one section of the arena that is destroyed, even some of the ground is. The sky is speckled with stars but the moon let's them see the fight.

Pj sends string around Crescent's leg pulling him and sending him slamming into the stand.

Cherry is assuming it's Crescent because the guy has the same skull marking but now he has something from his back that look like tentacles.

Crescent jumps from the stand and sends knifes shooting at Pj from behind and in front.

Something else was different about Crescent too, his face looks like he had black streaks on his face, his aqua eyes gone.

"I think I'm going to feel sick." The hate was so nauseating, was Crescent really just trying to knock him out? The power coming off of him, it feels like he wants to kill Pj.

Pj shoots strings all around and Crescents soul gets tied into them.

Pj starts to pull the string but stops himself. He has the strings disappear and he looks toward Cherry and Palette.

"Let's call this a draw."

"After I kill you first." Crescent comes running at Pj and punches him in the face.

Pj gets pushed onto the ground by the force. Crescent grabs him with the tentacles and starts throwing punch after punch.

Cherry and Palette get up and teleport them down and Cherry somehow turns Crescent's soul blue and pushes him to a wall. Cherry puts a hand over his soul, he wouldn't be able to hold this for long.

Palette starts healing Pj who is out cold.

"Crescent, he's out cold you win. Calm down!" Cherry nearly yells.

Crescent glares at Pj with his empty sockets before his eyelights come into view.

He says quietly, "I...won..." Crescent goes limp, just in time as Cherry's power gives in and stops.

Cherry sits and holds his head. "Note to self, turning a soul blue takes a lot out of me. I need to work on it more."

"Cherry can you help take Pj inside?"

"Sure, stay with Dr. Octopus over here."

Cherry gets up then grabs Pj and goes inside.

Palette goes over to Crescent, healing him. "You'll be ok, I've got you."
