"If I'm being completely honest, I don't know where I'm going either. I've just been going where everyone else is, fighting a few butt-heads and trying to make sure I'm not leaving people here that need help," Tolkalee shrugged. "And then I have to go home and fight a war."
“…your life’s a goddamn side quest and I’m jealous…” Brendon pouted a little. Sirius sighed at his comrade’s saying.
“Anyways, we’ll be heading down with you and the two…” Sirius was going to finish the sentence. “Didn’t you say you came here with two Knights?” He was confused. If Tolkalee was to turn around, Jameson would be there but Sam would not.
Tolkalee spun around and started looking around the arena. He did not want to lose sight of Sam. Not knowing where he was, was more stressful than having him right next to Tolkalee. He looked at Jameson. "Where did Sam go?"
Jameson wasn’t paying attention to Tolkalee as he had his back turned. His eyes widened, body frozen and hand shaking, he looked in the direction of the dark hallway.
“Quiet…” Jameson murmured, he saw something in the hallway… definitely not something he wanted to see.
Tolkalee turned and looked at the hallway but didn't see anything. "What?" he dropped his voice so that only the people around him could hear his question.
A figure slowly started to step out of the shadows, in one of his hands was a staff with a scythe in the other. The figure was silver haired, white eyed, black armored to the neck and pale skinned. Their lips were cracking like there was a drought but his body looked refreshed.
“He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He’s the boy with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, dear God won’t you please
Could you send someone here who will love me?”
The figure sang something in a soft voice before touching the ground with the staff, creating several shards of glass behind him.
“Who will love me for me…?”
He aimed the staff towards the group.
“Not for what I have done… or what I will become”
From the shards of glass, purple rays of energy blasted at the group. A shard, a ray, a person, everyone was aimed at and fired at once each.

“Other than these two, there are two other kids in the new generation; Jonathan and Declan, though you’ve probably met Jon” Sebastian said, still comforting Gavin like he did earlier.
Hinata smiled.
"Yes, I have met him. He's a good kid."
Sebastian smiled the faintest smile, clenching his fist.
“He is a good boy from the worst family… that pisses me off” he seemed to be annoyed by his thoughts.
Hinata placed her hand gently on Sebastian's shoulder.
"It does no good to grow angry at the past. All things happen for a reason."
Sebastian sighed.
“You’re right…” he accepted and looked down at Gavin. “There’s something telling me that we’ll be up for a fight soon, I don’t know why…” he channeled the thought. Right after he said that, The Clock Tower chimed.
Hinata looked up when the Clock Tower chimed.
"This can't be good…"
(Why do I feel a boss fight coming on?)
(Cough Cough)
Sebastian slowly pushed Gavin off him and stood up. He triggered something on his arms which created protection spheres around Evan and Gavin. He rolled both of them to the side.
“Just in case…” he explained, turning his machined arm to a giant blade the size of a small tree.
Hinata nodded. She didn't summon her Companion Swords, but they were ready for a fight.
From the depths of the dark hallway, a song can be heard. There was only a melody but no words were coming out. The melody came from a violin which a black armored-to-the-neck figure played. As they walked out of the shadows, they revealed the sinister golden eyes they had and the blonde hair they looked proud of. The figure stopped playing the violin… and looked at Hinata and Sebastian.
“Shhh… go to sleep…” the figure said in a low tone as thousands of golden syringes tied to strings appeared behind the figure and aimed for their heads.
(“Boss Battle” : The Hypnos Entity)
Tolkalee twisted out of the way of the purple ray coming at him. His dagger and short sword were in his hands. He looked at the figure as they came into the arena. All of the rage that he'd been keeping hidden and dormant started to show itself again. "Bad move buddy," his voice had gone low and almost sinister like.
Without anyone knowing, the rays that managed to miss was reflected by some mirror shards behind the group. One ray got a hit on Tolkalee’s right shoulder.
Sirius got a hit on his side, Zeros got one on his left shoulder, Brendon got one on his chest and Jameson got one from behind. They all got out their weapons; Sirius being a staff, Brendon being revolver, Jameson being a relic and Zeros… doesn’t really have a weapon, he just kinda growled at the figure.
Hinata quickly summoned Tatsuo and Katsuo. She fell into a fighting position.
Sebastian quickly turned his machined arm into a giant shield.
“Try not to get hit by those syringes…” he warned, rushing the figure with the shield he had. The figure’s eyes widened and smiled, merging the strings and syringes to a hand shape and grabbed Sebastian’s whole shield, tossing him to the wall. Some hundred syringes flew towards Hinata and her companion souls.
Tolkalee didn't react to the ray hitting him in the shoulder. His eye started glowing again, in fact it look like there were blue flames in his eye, and his necklace flickered dimly. He twisted his dagger slowly in his hand. "May I ask why you came in here to attack us?" His voice rang around the arena.
The entity seemed confused when Tolkalee asked that question. He didn’t know what to answer. He pressured his head with his two hands and knelt to the ground. Having done that, three corrupted Knights emerged from the ground; Ares, Moirai and Oliver. They all looked at the group with bloodlust visible in their eyes.
Tolkalee looked at the tree that had just come from the ground. "Dammit," he groaned.
Ares and Moirai looked thirsty for the Knights’ blood… but Oliver had a deadlock on Tolkalee. In an instance, the fight began. Moirai teleported to in front of Brendon and sent him flying towards Zeros. Ares appeared behind Jameson and took him by the collar, sending him towards Sirius. And Oliver walked to in front of Tolkalee.
The same black strings and needles came from Oliver’s arm and pointed towards Tolkalee, he gave Tolkalee a psychopathically twisted smile.
Hinata held her swords in front of her, trying to block the syringes.
"Good luck, thelas," he slipped into hie own tongue with the insult. "You weren't winning last time, you won't win this time."
Some of syringes got reflected by the swords. But some hit Hinata directly, mainly on her arm. The syringes were filled with some sort of tranquilizer and quickly affected Hinata, making her feel sleepy and nauseous.
Hinata blinked her eyes a few times, trying to shake the feeling off. She knew she couldn't die, but she had to keep herself awake.
Oliver corrupted form sent the needles towards Tolkalee… something was different about them though it wasn’t obvious yet, but something was definitely different about his ability.
Sebastian rushed from the wall he got sent to to attack the figure from behind. The figure saw this and sent some ten syringes towards Sebastian, all of which got direct hits on him… but Sebastian wasn’t affected by them at all. He got a hit on the figure’s back before jumping back to stand beside Hinata.
Tolkalee didn't let anything touch him. He easily slowed time and moved out of the needles way. Making sure he didn't step into other needles. "To slow," he taunted.
