As I started to regain consciousness, I felt my head throbbing. "Ahh.... Fuucckk...!" I cursed. "Hey... You shouldn't move very much, Tini..." I heard someone say as I tried to sit up. I felt arms wrap around me; someone was steading me. "Stooppp..." I groaned out. I felt a cold rag or gauze being wrapped on my head wound. "Psstt...! Eriiii!" I kept hearing so many voices that I couldn't place to faces or names. I started to sink back into darkness...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tried to contact Eri, but he was bound to the cage bars! "What should I do?! Jessie isn't here with me or anyone else in the cage! U-Uwahh...!!!" I said aloud. Not that anyone can see or hear me at the moment , but I tried to break the bars by swinging the cage. "Come on...!" I said, grunting. I felt the people slip around the cage as I swung it. Some of the people were wondering why the cage was swinging; most others were just holding onto each other. "Got it!" I exclaimed as I let go and leaned back from the bars. In a big crash, the bars broke from the cage once they hit the stone walls. "We can get out!" I exclaimed. "Oh... Right... The only person in this cage that can see me isn't awake..." I said. I teared up a bit. "I shouldn't be u-upset about this!" I said in between a hiccup. I went to the opening of the cage that I made. Then I jumped out of it, and ontop of different cages, making them swing and crash until I reached the bottom. "So the little girl made it." I heard someone say. I turned around and saw that dark version of Rainia Darling. "How can you see me?" I asked. She just chuckled. "I can only see a blurred image of you with my new powers. But I can hear you quite clearly." She said. I started to walk towards her as she backed away. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." She said. "But you aren't me. So I should do it." I said, getting closer to her. "Stay back!" She yelled. I sensed a bit of uncertainity in her voice. "No. Rainia, please, remember who you are!" I said, picking up my speed. "No!" She yelled as she cast a spell at me. I started to jog to her, as a black shadow pushed me down. "W-What was that?!" I asked, panicking. Rainia laughed. "That my dear... That is a very special weapon of mine that I use in dire circumstances." I glarred at her. She grinds as she turned to the cages. "Isn't this remarkable?! All these people up in cages like birds!" She started, going to a button. "Now let's see if these birds can fly~!" She laughed out, pressing the button. On an instant I saw every cage tilt and dump the people out of them. "Are you insane?!" I heard Eri ask. "You'll kill your own school mates like this!" He said. "That's the point!" She laughed back at him. I wanted to help them so badly, but what could I do?! I'm not real enough to lift up a body! So what do I do?! "Suki!" I heard Tina yell as she was using her water powers to not fall to her doom. She rode a wave over to me, and then got down from it. "Tina! Are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah I'm fine! But what in the hell is Rainia's problem?!" She asked. I shrugged. "I don't know, but we need to think of a plan! Veronica and her goons are Rainia's bodyguards now, so we should probably get rid of them first!" I suggested. She nodded as more of her friends came to her. "Tina, I think we should be able to take out the succubus first." "But we could use Veronica's fascination with Tina to our advantage as well." I heard a man say. I kept watching them all argue until I picked up a pan and hit one of the sirens over the head with it. Once the pan rang for a bit, they all stopped arguing. They started to fight together. Tina was helped by her sister, and Jessie was helping Eri out. I went back to Rainia and saw another girl there. "Rainia please go back to being yourself!" She shouted as a spell was cast out of her wand. That Dark Rainia kept smiling as nothing worked. "Vanilla, you're such an idiot if you thi-" I cut her off by starting to go inside of her mind. "Stop!" She yelled as I fully went into her mind. The place was dark and corrupted the more I explored it. I couldn't seem to find Rainia in the mess, so I just sat there in the darkness, all alone. "This is really depressing~..." I said, trying to cheer myself up. I then heard some crying and saw a dark white light. I went up to it, and when I did, I was greeted to a little Rainia. "Hello~!" I said. She moved away from me and whispered a soft "hey". "Do you want to get out of here?" I asked her. She nodded. I smiled. "Then think happy thoughts." I said as I traded places with her. "Now go! There's not much time!" I said. She nodded and took off running. I stayed behind, watching her as she was getting brighter, and I was getting darker...

I must have fell asleep since I felt so groggy when Jessie woke me up...

(Jester's POV)
As soon as Dark Rainia was gone, I ran to find Suki. I needed to know that she was okay! "Oh no... Suki!" I said, running up to her body and shaking her awake. "Suki wake up!" I said. "Nnnghhh.... I'm... Up..." She said, coughing. "Suki, Rainia's back to normal." I said. She nodded. "She should... Be... Since I... Saved her..." I blinked, and then realized what Suki had done. "Suki, why did you do it?!" I said. "Why did you have to be the one to do it?!" I asked frustrated. I sensed a crowd around us, but I could care less! "Jester, Suki was the only one who could do it. She is a fragment of the mind too, so she had to be the one to drive the darkness out of Rainia... Even if-" "NO! I don't want to hear it Eriol!" I yelled, tears stinging my eyes. Suki looked at me confused. "Jessie... It's okay..." She said. "It's not okay Suki! It will never be okay! Please, just stay here with me and everyone else!" I said, some tears falling down my face. "Jessie... I... can't... Stay... Any... More..." She said, coughing and shaking. "I... Have... To... Go..." I heard her say as she started to disappear. "Suki please, don't leave me here alone! I need you! You need to stay!" I said, fully crying now as I hugged her tightly. "Jessie..." She said, weakily hugging me back. "Suki, you were so close to being real!" I cried out. "But... I'm... Not... Real... I'm... Only... A... Figment... Of... Your... Illusions..." She said. I could completely see through her now... "No you aren't!" I said, hugging her tighter and tighter until she wasn't there anymore. "SUKIII!!!!!!" I yelled out as more tears flowed out. I started to make myself sick by how much I was crying. Eriol had to use his magic to take me back to our dorm. He sat me down on his large bed and wrapped a blanket around me. He then got me some warm milk and sat next to me drinking his tea. I put my head on his shoulder and started to softly cry again. He noticed this as I felt him pet my hair, trying to calm me down. I blushes a bit as I got silent, to tired to cry anymore. I drank the milk then set the cup down, laying down curled up in a ball under the covers. Eriol changed into his pjs then got into bed himself. He then got under the covers and hugged me. I felt a little better once he did this, but not much...
