"Keep moving, Emily. Or I might just go back and choose another of your friends to help." I say, enjoying the sight of Emily panic. "It's a shame, really. I know you won't do a thing I say until your friends are involved. So to help me with that, I brought a couple here in advance." I said the last bit as we rounded a corner, just in time for Emily to see Uno and LS#8 being shoved into a cell.

"You dirty little LIAR!! YOU SAID THAT THEY'D BE SAFE IF I CAME WITH YOU!"

"Oh, but they are! They're probably more safe here then your friends back on Earth are."

"WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT!" She was yelling so loudly that the walls started to shake. I noticed this.

"Now now, no need to shout." I continue walking but Emily was furious. She charged at me, but I moved out of the way just before impact. Emily banged right into the wall and passed out. I heard Josh and Tommy scream out cries as she looked more and more dazed. I say something before she passes out.

"What an idiot." Heh. She acted as she thought I couldn't see her in the super reflective walls. Such idiotic behaviour. "Max, Ross, you two put her in the cell upstairs near my office. I cannot afford to waste time with trivial things like waiting for her to wake up."

"Yes Mam." The two said in sync.

"Ugh. What are you freaks doing with her?! Put her down you wierdos!" LS#8, Tommy, said.

"Why do you care to know?" Ross asked, genuinely not knowing why one would care about another willingly, just like they were meant to after the brainwashings.

"Because I care about her!"

"Why?" Max asked, also not understanding his affection for Emily.

"W-what do you mean why? I love her! L. O. V. E."

"What are you two doing!" I butted in, knowing that if I let them continue to talk, Max and Ross would start to understand emotion again, and feel hatred towards me.

"N-nothing Mam!" They said in sync once more, and continued to take Emily in the direction of my office. Once the two were out of ear shot I turned around to LS#8.

"I bet you think you're real clever, don't cha?" I said to him, anger clearly showing on my face as he started to back up to the wall of the cell.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about lady!"

"Well, you may be right on that one. There's no way you're competent enough to know how to get my guards to rebel. The best person with a shot at that is Uno, and look at him." It's quite hilarious to be honest. All the memories coming back, flooding in to the point where he's curled up in a ball, crying in the corner. LS... Tommy, looks like he wanted to say something, but stayed quite. "A wise decision." I turn and walk towards my office, and I decide to ignore the murmur I heard from behind me.

I. Can't think.

Straight. So much.

"---- -----... -osh, you OK?" Words. Someone talking. Head still hurts. A bit "JOSH!"

"Y-yes?"

"Oh thank god. Mate, what happened?"

"I... Don't know."

"W-what? How can you not know what caused you to just... Shut down like that?"

"...You know those times when you think you dreamed something, but then a time comes later when you live those moments."

"Or is it you reliving them?"

"Well, whatever it is, those moments usually are OK, aren't they?"

"I guess..."

"Now, think of the worst nightmare you've ever had, and how it'd be re-living those moments. The fear you felt when first having it? The cold sweat beads you felt on your head when you woke up? They'd now be a reality."

"That'd be... Terrifying..."

"Now imagine the worst place to ever be. Imagine how it'd be tailored to your every fear."

"...That'd.. be... even worse..."

"That's what this place was like for me. That is what U.H (Unicorn Homeworld) is like for me. They know my every fear and every weakness and play me, and everyone else here, to their advantage. When here, you're nothing but a pawn on a chess board. One wrong move and you're useless to those above you, and you'll be thrown away like a piece of chewed up gum."
