Eggy and rain followed the others into the astral plane. Doce1 felt no discomfort whatsoever; Eggy wasn't originally a being from their normal plane, but rather the Viscious and cold Asura Spirit World.<br/><br/>When they exited the astral plane, they had come to another location. All three Doce's were reunited and quickly formed a group that was segregated from the others.<br/><br/>"So, I don't get it," Frahlah whispered. "We were betrayed by this GM person?"<br/><br/>"I'm confused too," Rain said softly. "Was he our ally to start with? I never got that sort of feeling from him."<br/><br/>"Who knows?" Eggy sighed. "I thought he was a bad guy so I tried to team up with him for fun, but he ignored me. Then he started doing... helpful things?... I don't know really, but he was acting all buddy buddy. And now he's a bad guy after all?"<br/><br/>"His motivations seem rather unclear," Frahlah complained.<br/><br/>"But the point is that we're on opposite sides now," Rain mused.<br/><br/>Eggy nodded. "His motivations and character don't matter. I'm going to kill him because he disrespected me."<br/><br/>The trio looked around with a hint of confusion. They had suddenly noticed how quiet it was.<br/><br/>"Is it nap time?" Frahlah wondered aloud.<br/><br/>"These guys," Eggy growled.<br/><br/>About as soon as the complaints rose to her lips, JD and Rukia woke from a terrible nightmare. They seemed pretty shaken up, but Doce1 was unsympathetic.<br/><br/>"Serves you right," she lectured. Then, more loudly, "WAKE UP YOU SLEEPY FUCKS!" to rouse any others that had gone to sleep.<br/><br/>"We have to escape this place, track down some people, and prevent the end of the worlds. We just found out that we have one less ally and one more enemy. Is now really the time for this?"<br/><br/>"I don't know," Frahlah offered fairly. "It has been a while. I feel a bit sleepy."<br/><br/>"Sleepy? You'll have plenty of time to sleep when you cease to exist. So let's focus on the task at hand."<br/><br/>"If it's escaping from this place, why complicate things with combat or diplomacy? We came to this location from another through the astral plane. Is there any reason we can't just escape the same way? If there is some kind of barrier, I don't believe we can't break it with our combined strength."<br/><br/>"Breaking a barrier like that might be bad, though?" Frahlah wondered. "If it exists, it's probably defending this place. If they find out we broke it we'll become enemies. It will also leave these people open to attack."<br/><br/>"The lives of these people aren't important to me," Eggy said coldly. "Besides, their misguided mission is still to kill the Overseer, which is contrary to our mission. If they're open to attack, then I hope the Overseer's people will fight. With their manpower spread out, it will be easier to get close to him. These people will make a good decoy."<br/><br/>"It's fine if some of them die," Rain agreed, "since everything ceases to exist if our mission fails."<br/><br/>Eggy smirked and played the devil's advocate. "But what if someone you love is among the people who die here?"<br/><br/>Rain glanced at her with a calm expression. "Then perhaps they die, or perhaps they live. They will certainly die if we fail to prevent the end of the worlds. Rather, comparing a few people to everyone existing in fiction and reality... how disgusting would you have to be to make that choice? The sheer short-sightedness is beyond my comprehension." She lowered her head quietly. "Do what must be done. Mourn and celebrate when it's all over."<br/><br/>Doce1 seemed satisfied, and she gave a small chuckle. Of course, she still felt like they had tarried for too long in this place. "So, let's put our heads together and get out of here quickly, yeah? You've heard my idea, but I'll happily yield if someone else has a better one."
