Welcome to Dra Aht (Speed Event)

[Evelyn Amtrum]

Eve is content to let things play out as they are! It was nice to see her mother's face, even though it wasn't actually her. The truth was what it was, a hint of a smile on her lips as she gave a small nod but otherwise didn't interfere.

[Zack Asiv]

Val's attack would cause the Kraken to raise an arm to block debris and light from his face, not expecting the attack to the floor. His face taking on a slight grimace as he is dropped through a new hole in the floor. Val is able to reach Lucky and pull her towards the way the Kraken came in. They can hear it though, something metal and sharp piercing into the floor behind them.

Avice, Mathew, Eve, and Cleon are suddenly ejected into a black void, and all appear in Mathew's new front yard. Avice is outside her home in the new Sudeki Compound. Event end for them. Pass.

Drake is able to dodge some of the attacks but he gets hit by more than one, his right side is pretty much just TV static at this point, while he is sure the blast of fire to the head followed by the explosion is the reason he is bleeding. He however can still see a large battle raging, his future self is not doing so hot. Bleeding pretty bad, multiple wounds, but he knows the smile he wears. It's empty, fake. In all this time he has found no allies, no friends, no one who cares about him. He is about to die alone, and hated by everyone.

[Avice Locke]

Avice practically blinked and it was over she looked around about as if expecting this to be another trick but as her senses came to focus she realized she was back outside. Fresh air filled her senses. However.. she missed her chance to speak with Mathew and realizes Drake is still in there!

She sat in the dirt cross-legged and placed palms on her knees. She wouldn't move from there until he too was in view. She would probably after some time plan to peek in with Leon and see if the bloke died. She began to hear her heart in her head as her pulse ran a bit rampant waiting on the result.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Once they were in the yard Mathew holstered the gun and took stock of who was with him. Namely Eve and Cleon. The former was to be expected, the latter a pleasant surprise.

"Honestly, I was half thinking you were a benevolent ghoul. I'm glad I was mistaken." He'd say giving Cleon a clap on the shoulder before motioning to the house. "Welcome home, Evelyn. Make us some hot chocolate. I think we have a lot to talk about."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

Well, everything seemed normal enough aside from the jarring drop and move back home. She grinned and inhaled the fresh, familiar air.

"Best thing I've heard all day." She nodded and would head towards the house with a nod, the smile fading a little with her back to Cleon and her father.

There was definitely plenty to talk about.

[Drake]

Drake honestly didn't register the damage he had taken. Rather he watched in silence as the would he future him was meeting his end... he wondered to himself if this was really the path he wanted for himself. The death of the Dragons vs his own happiness... that was what he was seeing. Did... did he want the Dragons dead that badly?

...

Yes. If this was the price he had to pay he would pay it a thousand times over. In this moment he knew exactly why the future Drake was being hunted. Because to kill a Dragon one had to be a Dragon... or something worse. And Drake would become that something worse, and he too would need to meet his end. Just as this version of himself needed too as well.

Drake would focus the last of his energy. Activating his Seikatsugan letting the power flow through him. He would cut his hand letting the blood seep out. He would form a spear. Next a layer of white hole energy would cover it and sharpen. Then he would call throw the spear right for the heart of future Drake.

"Hey!"

He would call out to get the Slayer's attention.

"I release you."

He would say. Hoping that he was the one to deliver the final blow. Only he could forgive the Slayer for his sins.

[Valerian Blackburn]

Yep. That sounds like 'keep running', to Val.

And so he does, booking it as fast as his legs will carry him, dragging Lucky along if she's unable to keep up on her own!

[Lucille "Lucky" O'Donnovan]

Lucky didn't protest Val to keep running. Not knowing what this place could entail she wasn't looking to wait for the next monster to come at them.

[Zack Asiv]

Drake catches the attention of his future self and impale's him, holding him upright from the spear sticking out of the ground behind him. Drake finds himself still injured, but standing near Avice in the Sudeki Compound. Passed.

Val and Lucky run for a good minute before finding themselves in a field of crystals. They are dark and cloudy, difficult to see through. But there is no Kraken here.

[Drake]

Drake, injured would look at Avice.

"Bitch."

He would say... only Avice might note it was a little bit softer than normal... then Drake would collapse onto the ground and pass out.

[Valerian Blackburn]

Victory.

Val slows down, panting!

"Phew. We lost him."

He looks around.

"Maybe this is... not a lot better."

[Lucille "Lucky" O'Donnovan]

Something in her body got super excited. Like a treasure was just found as she entered the mythical Cave of Wonders! However, she felt like Aladdin and none of it begged to be touched. With all the weird things happening here and the last time she touched something caused her to almost piss herself she just looked at the crystals with her maw wide open like a newborn bird begging to be fed.

[Zack Asiv]

The crystals would all slowly begin to 'activate' or glow. As within the cloud would shift and amass into shapes, resembling people. Finally they would resemble bandits, frozen in place. Flashes of images from her mind of attackers. Until finally her parents would appear within a couple of the crystals near each other.

[Lucille "Lucky" O'Donnovan]

She shut her mouth and threw up her hands. "I am twenty-seven years old! I am a hard working woman who is not afraid of dirt and fire, you think I have trauma that I've not come to terms with and accepted!" she walked to the middle of the frozen figures to the face of her parents.

"My only want in life is to give an equal chance to those without a chance in the world." she faced one of the thuggish images of her memories. "Try again..." she said it with bitter sweet satisfaction.

[Avice Locke]

She slung him the best she could. In her grasp. He had a thin frame it wasnt too bad. They would make their exit with getting them both a little help
