Trial of Perseverance

'The Trial of Perseverance'

You nodded at him, your eyes set with justice.

'Let's begin.'

And everything went to black.

*Copper's POV*

As soon as the he said that the Brave and Y/N fell over. Rust rushed forward, his hand hovering over his hilt while Gold stood straight up, his eyelights disappearing.

"Calm yourselves. She's perfectly fine."

Copper looked up at the Patience lady, curious. Rust spun on his heel, marching straight towards her.

"What did you do to her?" She raised an eyebrow at the directness.

"Are you in a position to speak to me that way, soldier?" Rust looked a little miffed at her, but before a full argument could break out Kindness hopped over. She slumped over onto the table her head in her arms as she studied the bitties.

"It's fiiiiine Kia. They're just worried!"

"That doesn't give them the right to talk back to a superior." Kindness rolled her eyes before turning her attention back to the bitties.

"She'll be fine, cuties-" A screech left the Braves mouth as he began to wrestle with the air. He rolled incessantly, screams leaving his mouth. You were laying stock still, your face worried and scared.

"what was that?" Gold was quiet, his voice barely above a whisper, yet it was loud in each of his brother's ears compared to the screaming coming from the braves fanged mouth.

"Oh. His nightmare started! Yay! I was wondering, it was starting to get boring."

"What's happening to them?" Cobalt spoke up next, his eyes tearing themselves away from the pair, instead trying to find solace in Kindness. She looked down at them, sympathy growing in her eyes.

'I temporarily erase their memories and set them in their worst nightmares. Whoever wakes up first loses. Simple as that.' Perseverance spoke up next, his eyes clenched close as he jerked his head slightly. 'I'm keeping an eye on them in their nightmares,' he chuffed, close to some sort of laughter, it's actually rather interesting their fears. It's so simple, I'm surprised more Justice aren't scared of that either.'

A sudden whimper came from Y/N, making Copper glance over at her worriedly. His attention was drawn back to Perseverance as he began to insanely laugh.

Copper looked back at his family, before looking over at Y/N.

She would be able to do it.

He believed in her.

Y/N's POV

Your eyes sprang open. Your sight was clouded by blue, bubbles drifting by lazily. You were underwater, you could feel currents of it streaming past you, despite being fully submerged. You could smell the salt deep within the waters, somehow breathing perfectly fine despite the circumstances.

Then you could hear.

Your eyes sprang open as your head swung around, as if on an axis. You couldn't see them, but you could hear them. Laughter, voices, music. There were people in the water around you.

This was fine. Everything would be fine you just had to get out of the water.

You moved to swim but your legs found resistance. Peering down into the darkness you saw your legs chained, the metal drifting down, down, down into the darkness.

Stop freaking. Get control of your emotions. If you don't-

You could already feel charging in you, electricity pumping through your veins, dying to leave your fingertips. Screams of laughter echoed through your empty brain as you whimpered. You curled in on yourself, as if the physical position would actually keep you together.
