Eternal was happy her brother took charge. He doesn't usually make friends on his own often, so she was glad he was now.
Snowflake was nice, but quiet. She said her ears were always cold, so she wore a blue crocheted hat with a yellow star on it, and a pastel yellow sun necklace. She wore some sort of tail ornaments, which was jet black on the center but a pastel yellow on the outside of the circle, exploding from it like sun flares.
Major was talkative and kind, and tried to help even when he knew he couldn't. He usually succeeded in perking Eternal up, at the very least. He was mauve-colored, an eye patch covering his left eye, and a pirate's cutlass slung across his back in a black sheath. He had on a black glove, which looked painful to wear, but Major didn't let on. He smiled with every step, a sort of light in the damp dark of the dungeon.
Mythical was talkative as well, and had more opinions than brain cells. She was a stereotypical dumb blonde, but pink. She filled the silence... Though some would prefer the silence. She wore a pink flower crown, and a pink skirt. She had ribbons tied around her tail. She kept on hitting on Victory, which he nor Eternal appreciated. She usually left out common sense in what she said. Nevertheless, she could be fun when in the right mindset.
Legit had obviously never touched the colors pallet to change colors, but had a variety of stupid and funny clothes. At the present, he wore glasses with eyes that dangled down from springs attached to them, and cartoony gloves on his feet(?). He got every detail of our boring two days in the cellar from his friend, Infinity. They were good friends, and had been for a long time. Eternal was happy someone had reasons to smile.
Eternal loved her brother,  and supported him always,  in everything he did...  Usually.
But this plan of his...  It was too forthright,  needed more planning,  less "winging it", and more ethics than "those jerks deserve it".
Eternal didn't want to act like the jerks they were going to "teach a lesson to".
That phrase made her think of phantoms.
At least use a euphemism, right?
Eternal's paws ached from wandering aimlessly around the sludge-stained hallways, searching for a lead on Commander.
She was sick of hearing the same fake giggles and "Oh,  you're so funny!" lines from Mythical.
She was bored of Legit's jokes.
She was tired of Major's attempts to cheer her up.
"I don't want to be a hero...," she mumbled to no one in particular,  "I want to go home."
She felt many pairs of eyes fix on her. For once,  she didn't cover up her whine.
"I just want to go home!" she wined,  louder this time. She missed getting useless jam-a-grams, longed for the constant buzz of Jamaa.
Victory opened his mouth, no doubt to reassure her, but he didn't find the words in time.
"Oh, so you do?" a cruel voice mocked behind them. "Do you want to run home to your mommy?"
Eternal was too scared to turn around and identify the owner of the voice.
It was a phantom,  and that was all she needed to know.
"Run!" yelled Snowflake, darting past her.
She listened. And so did the others.
Also phantoms. They decided to run,  too.
Much to Eternal's dismay.
