Cross X Dream.

Chapter 27

Killer pointed his knife down at Horror and Dust, as the pitter patter of rain began to fall. A streak of lightning went across the sky, the loud bang moments later. Killer glanced other at Nightmare, who was sighing in relief.

"Are we going to go home?" Killer inquired still keeping a close eye on his two brothers.

Nightmare nodded, humming in agreement. "Yes. Since Ink told me that Cross left with Dream."

Ink shot a cheeky grin as he plopped down on the ground. "It's far too rainy." He complained.

"Well get out of the rain then." Error told him, as he was standing under a bit of rubble that shielded him from the rain. Ink got up then and stood next to Error

Nightmare saw Quertz who was stood in front of the wall of roses and thorns. "Are you alright?" Nightmare asked, as Quertz expression was extremely empty.

"Should I destroy this wall?"

"She's your sister." Nightmare replied simply giving a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

"And she was planning on killing you!" Horror yelled, getting a huge wack in the head from Dust.

Dust glared at Horror. "Shut up." He hissed, looking up at the tower where Lanny was standing. Horror followed his gaze, smirking happily.

They could still win.

The clanging of armour was soon heard and most people looked other to see who it was.

"Cross? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Dream in the carriage?" Killer questioned, pulling a slight frown.

Cross pointed his sword up at the castle. "She took Dream." He answered before running inside and looking for the stair case.

"Wait What!?" Everyone exclaimed.

Quertz violently jerked his hand, resulting in the walls of roses falling to the ground. And of course Lanny wasn't there. Nightmare turned to face Error and Ink.

"Could you two help us again?" Nightmare asked urgently.

"Of course!" Ink exclaimed grabbing hold off his paintbrush. "What do you need us to do?"

"Follow those soldiers and stop them from attacking innocent people." Nightmare instructed looking at how far the soldiers had then gone.

Ink grabbed Error's arm. "Were on it!" He announced before running off with Error, who had only just processed the request.

Quertz was stunned then as Killer then knocked Horror and Dust out. "Can't risk them interfering." He mumbled sadly, giving a sympathetic look at Quertz. "Right c'mon Night. We need to go and help." Killer told Nightmare.

"Of course we should. Since Lanny seems a lot more stronger than I previously thought." Nightmare agreed as he and Killer also went to go and locate the stairs.

Lanny smirked at the way how Quertz reacted and at how Error and Ink would probably die attempting to fight off the soldiers, that couldn't be killed. Another ring of thunder went other the cloudy dark grey clouds. The rumbling was surprisingly calm for her.

Dream on the other hand was terrified, flinching every time he heard the thunder. Feeling a few tears go down his face. He hated this. He hated feeling so weak, like he was always seen to be. Nightmare could hold his ground so, so well.

Why couldn't he?

Oh

Cause he was the younger Prince. Not needing to worry about fighting wars and maintaining peace with other nations like his brother. He just had to exist. Not many people knew about him anyway as he wasn't allowed to go to fancy parades or meet with other people, like his Mother.

Dream soon felt Lanny kick his back. "Stop crying." She commanded, as Dream's eyes were full of tears. "Come on. You should be smiling. You, I and your brother can rule with an iron fist." She crouched down, grabbing Dream's face.

Dream kicked at Lanny in the stomach, getting her away from him. Instantly protesting against the idea, but no one would listen... no one could hear what he had to say... no one cared.

Until earlier this year. When Cross appeared.

Listening to him and his problems. Helping Dream go outside and feel as though he was listened to.

And just as he thought that...

Cross bright red sword had cut Lanny in the back, and brutally forced her away, far away. Cross soon crouched down to Dream and picked him up, getting him on his feet. "You'll be okay now. I promise." Cross said sternly getting the cloth from Dream's mouth off of him.

Cross saw from the corner off his eye that Lanny had jumped up with her own flaring sword. This time not glowing purple, but glowing a bright maroon like colour. Reacting quickly throwing the weapon away and off of the building, Cross grabbed the blade and it was gone.

The golden bubble on his hand made sure of that.

Lanny was shocked at this. Since her sword was discarded so effortlessly by Cross. Cross shot a glare other at Lanny as he walked other to Dream. Cutting the ropes that were around his wrists, quickly as he also untied the cloth.

Nightmare and Killer soon also got onto the roof, Nightmare throwing a spell towards Lanny. Killer threw some throwing knives towards Lanny, getting both od her shoulders. Lanny just stood there taking both of the hits.

"I didn't want to do this." She spoke up looking at the four. "But. I'm kind of done with this now." A sudden sharp flare of purple dust soon appeared. It was like a sandstorm and threatened to blow everyone off of the roof.

When a tyrannical Rawr rang out, forcing everyone to try and cover their ears so that they wouldn't explode from the high pitched squeals. Some sort of purple ooze was erupting from the Queen of Mana. Soon becoming a tyrannical beast that then towered other the small group. Having horns and spikes going down her body, as this new form no longer looked like her human form.

Cross took hold of Dream. A bright glow emitted from both Dream's gemstone and the bubble on Cross hand. Dream also holding Cross tightly. The two of them had tightly shut their eyes, until they felt the wind die down.

However, when they opened their eyes, they couldn't see the other. When Cross and Dream looked other at Nightmare and Killer, they looked bewildered, confused, unsure of what to say.

"Something wrong?" Cross and Dream noticed that their voices seemed to merge to create a whole new voice.

"You two are one being..." Nightmare informed the two. "Your two souls in one body."

Cross and Dream took a look at their new self. Seeing as though what they were wearing was a cross between Cross' knight armour and Dream's prince outfit.

"What does that mean?" They questioned, still confused as then a Rawr was heard from behind them. "We'll have to figure that out later." They soon brought out Cross sword in their left hand and in their right hand a golden shield.

This was Wist. A new being. The being that was indeed going to put an end to the Evil Queen.

The beast's beady eyes glared down at the three people. Swiping a claw towards the group. Wist was quick to avoid it and the bright determined glow of the sword came crashing down on the hand of the beast.

They had this.

Their souls were determined to go home.

To explore the world together.

Only one thing in their way.

And they could handle it.

Together.
