The phone in Sally's hands lay silent for a moment as she waited for a response before abruptly coming to life as a text was sent in return.
Yeah? What's up, kiddo?

Squad 1 - Nightmare??? - Ellie
Ellie barely kept the tears from her eyes as she hugged Jenni tighter.
"I love you too, baby."
She stayed like that for a time, just cradling Jenni in her arms. Then Sam came out of his own door, sat down, and curled up. Crying.
Slowly, she shifted Jenni over to one side, and stood, effortlessly hefting her daughter with one arm, making sure to be gentle. She strode over to Sam, knelt down carefully, and scooped him up with her other arm.
"You too, Sammy. I love you all. And I won't see you hurt like this."
She hugged both Sam and Jenni to her body, and turned to Mason as he also came out of Sam's door.
"We need to get the hell out of here, once Lily comes back with Shane. I'll carry everyone if I have to, but we aren't staying in this... nightmare."
What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

There was a moment before another text appeared on Sally's screen. "Figured this would come up sooner or later. So, shoot. What's on your mind?"
???
"Oh, I don't know about that. I don't know about that at all. That I don't."
A wisp of fog rolled in at the end of the hall before dissipating as quickly as it came. In its' place stood the innkeeper, just as shifty and unnerving as ever. And yet, something about him seemed ever so slightly more menacing. "I must say, I am disappointed. That I am. I would've figured you'd be staying here 'till doomsday, that I did. After all, everything was specifically tailored to your specifications, that it was. It would be a shame for you all to leave so soon. That it would. Surely there's something that can be done to make your stay more, shall we say, accommodating? Surely there is."

Iuvem (and possibly Vivian) vs War
The various duplicates were slung aside, broken to pieces in the course of Iuvem's charge through...until the last one, which managed to hold the line and grapple with Iuvem. War / Elim let out a cruel chuckle, and leaned forward as he pointed at his forehead. "Figures you outworlders are dumb as bricks! When it comes to my shadow armors, I can alter their composure and capacities."
He then started clapping and his shadow began spawning more of them again - it was clear what kind of War Elim preferred to wage; one of attrition.
However he outright dismissed Vivian as just a defective normal human flying around in something that "did not belong to her".
Shane - Nightmare / Squad 1
He barely heard Lily, his hands quivering in their place by his shoulders. The dark doppelganger started toward Lily with a dark grin on his face, "Maybe you need another loss to really appreciate what's going on here..." Raising his gun, the doppelganger Shane loaded a bullet. The click and roll of the barrel was loud, almost supernaturally so.
And then the Doppelganger Shane was left with a shocked look on his face as his hand and most of his forearm landed far away from him.
The real Shane, eyes almost glowing blue and streaming tears, but with a furious look on his face, stood there, hand transformed and displaying claws. The eviscerated limb of the doppelganger spilled not blood but what looked like grey mist.
Shane clenched his free hand and took a step forward, "You can fuck with my mind..." The Doppelganger was scared now, the ground dissipating from its former configuration.
"You can mess with my perception of reality..."
The Doppelganger sputtered, no longer even resembling Shane, "W-We shattered your puny cortex! Nothing resembling thought should—-"
"You can fucking dredge up every single move I've ever made..."
The Doppelganger was outright kicked into one of the walls, the whole room now just a grey empty room, no further mist visible.
"But when you threatened Lily, you made me realize something. By just quivering there, and letting you mess with me, Lily was put in danger. And I hate having my friends put in danger cuz of me. So you know what? I'm done playing your games!"
The Doppelganger scrambled for the exit, and then stopped, frozen down to the blood in a casing of ice.
Shane turned and smiled at Lily, "Let's go, babe."

Mason - Squad 1
"Absolutely one thousand percent agreed." Mason nodded as he stepped out of the room and sighed, tilting his head to the side and cracking his neck, groaning. "I just wanna...get the hell out of here. O Ut of this dimension. Away from EVERYTHING. As much dimensional space as I possibly, humanly can."
The fog rolled in and the Innkeeper was there, and Mason was exasperated. He didn't know his deal or his situation still...but he still would tread lightly. He reached a hand down and gripped the switch on the gauntlet, ready to flip it should the need arise.
"There's no god damn way we're staying here. We're grabbing out friends and we're leaving." He barked. "And you're not gonna stop us. I sure as hell won't let you."

Lily/Jenni – ??? (Squad 1)
Lily closed her eyes, pursed her lips, and nodded grimly.
“Alright.”
A voice from behind the door made her falter, though. It was the slimy, unsettling voice of their so-called "host." Motioning for Shane to make pause behind her, she pressed her ear up to the surface of the door—only to nod in satisfaction shortly after, position herself in front of it in her combat stance, and rear back her hand.
“Stand back.”
Jenni flinched from her slumber as Shane's door was catapulted into the opposite room, but soon settled back down after registering the fact she was still in Ellie's arms. Lily—shaking her hand free of the sting from the impact—stepped through, immediately sending a glare towards the Innkeeper and crossing her arms.
“That's it. All of us. You failed. Let us go, and that'll be that. We've had enough.”
A distant, morbid cackling from Mother's room caused her hairs to stick up on end, though.
“We're... satisfied with our service...” she ground out.

So, I don't know what to decide because either way, it does scare me. On one hand, I am scared that if I do, something could go wrong and that there may be nothing left of my personality. But if I don't, I will outlive you and my other immortal friends at this point. I'm just so scared and I don't know what to do.

...Hold on a sec.
A couple minutes passed without so much as a single text. Not even a ring. Until a familiar pair of heavy footsteps came in from around the corner. Armada walked into the classroom, dressed in her usual pair of overalls and white undershirt. "Sorry for the wait kiddo, but I kinda figured this is something we should talk about in person." She pulled up a chair and sat beside her, brushing aside her short red hair as she did so.
"Now look, kiddo. I know how ya feel, really, I do. Back when I was starting out, I was scared shitless. Course, I didn't have a choice, not really. It was either upload my brainwaves into some hunk of metal or kick the bucket. Even still, I was thinking pretty much the same thing you are. 'Even if all my memories transfer over, is it still gonna be me'? 'Course, everything thing turned out alright, sex change aside. But there wasn't any way of knowing that for sure, was there?"
She slumped back in her chair, trying to blow away a stray strand of hair even though she was incapable of doing so. "But you know what scares me now?" She then looked at Sally, straight into her eyes. Her gaze was firm, yet her eyes almost seemed on the verge of misting over. And the only reason they didn't was that they literally could not do so. "Losing you. Seeing you grow old while I'm still sitting pretty? That's what hurts. Honestly, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to keep on going knowing you're not gonna be with me, ya' know? And that's what really gets to me."
She took a deep breath, or at least gave a good imitation. "But hey, that doesn't matter. What matters is what you wanna do. Whatever you think is best, whenever you wanna do it, I'll be with ya every step of the way. Because you're my daughter. And no matter what you decide, it's your choice to make."
???
"Are you now?" The Innkeeper shook his head as if he were dealing with a petulant child, chuckling as though he were revelling what was to come next. "Well then, I suppose there's not much I can do, is there? But I don't think I'm the one you need to be worried about here."
Suddenly the door to Mother's room began to rattle and shake, deeps moans and cackles coming from it as though something or someone was eager to break through. And the Innkeeper seemed all too willing to let it.
"That I don't."

Up on Melancholy hill.
Mason - Squad 1
Mason mused to himself, silently, that this little session had gotten everyone quite bonded. So when he saw the Mothers door rattling, shaking, laughing, he didn't want to run for his own sake, but to get Jenni within 3 planets distance away from that thing. And then to keep going, just to be safe.
He looked over his shoulder. Lily was capable of moving. So was Shane, Sam and Jenni were still down but Ellie told him she could carry them if needed. So, he looked back to the door, back to the Innkeeper and kept his hand on the switch on his driver.
"Guys?" He asked aloud. "This may be the least heroic thing I've suggested, but given the current circumstances...I say..."
He flipped his switch twice as electricity coursed through his body, lightning him up in a bright yellow manner and he turned to the others, ready to grab whoever needed grabbing.
"Run."

Ultimate Hope, Absolute Insanity
Squad 4 - Vs War/Elim
Chaos Mode Iuvem gritted his teeth when got blocked by a War Armor duplicate. Do not patronize me, shadow-borne evil! , he yelled furiously.
Damn it! He keeps making more duplicates...he also can change the composure of these constructs too?! I need to go past these duplicates and eradicate this vile villain...before the Chaos Mode will fully drive me insane!, he thought, analyzing the current situation.
I first need to get rid of duplicates first..., by sacrifying the lower part of his body (which quickly regenerated shortly after), Iuvem created a Chaos Stormnote , and directed it towards the duplicate he was grappling with and the others.
After making sure the duplicates were destroyed by the storm, Iuvem would waste no time and instantly locked on Elim. By extending his right arm towards him, the golem started using his gravitational pull on Elim, forcefully pulling the living shadow towards him.
You might know everything I'm going to do...but that's not going to help you, since I KNOW EVERYTHING YOU'RE GOING TO DO! STRANGE, ISN'T IT?

Suddenly a yellow ball of light appeared in front of all three Squads. Like the first, it was glowing and bright, warm and welcoming as it shined with radiance. And somehow they knew that all they had to do was touch it and they'd be homefree.
Hopefully it would be as simple as it sounded.

The orb.
It shined so warm and bright compared to the dim and rot of this awful, cancerous world. Mason could only assume it was the beacon that they'd need to get them home. HE was of sound mind and body...for now. He'd wait for everyone else to get out first, just to be on the safe side. IN the mean time, he kept a close eye on the Innkeeper, keeping a fist clenched as if he dared him to move, or the Mother's door to open.
After this, he was gonna have a lot to rethink about his life.
He didn't have time to die after all.
He finally figured out what to do with the Earth chip.

Squad 1
Sam just nodded. At least he knew.
And with a crazy innkeeper to deal with and the exit on hand, a strange chill covered the air, as Sam slapped himself into shape.
Later, he'll fall apart, now, they have to leave in one piece.
The moment they made a move, he would use his snow to obscure it and trip the man.
Good luck with the monster, jackass

Squad 3-The Return
Once the group returned to reality Martin woke, through he still seemed a bit out of it from his display of power earlier he at least managed to stay on his feet without support. "Okay, so we all agree that no one has to tell Mahvash anything right?" he looked to his squad with the desperate look of a condemned man. "As my squad and closest personal friends we can just pretend we went sightseeing in heaven and nothing strange happened?"
Squad 4- The Escape
Clay's mind was filled with static and pain, but the moment that orb of light appeared he managed a whistle and gripped onto the horse as it galloped for freedom. "Much as I dislike running from a fight I don't like our odds against more of these bastards, lets get while the get is still good," that and he was worrying about the wounded person in their group. The others could probably still make it well enough.
Once they entered into the university again he absorbed the mechanical horse back into his belt and took up Evelynn in his arms, looking at the others in the room. "Need someone to take her, I ain't," his legs began to shake as the blood loss from his third eye and the various other wounds began to catch up to him. "I ain't got much more move in me, if you catch my meaning."
Be better, because what is the harm in trying?
Breath of the Sun
Squad 1 - Nightmare - Ellie
Ellie prepared to make a break for it, only for a beacon to show up and light the way. She could feel the familiar energies of Saint Univeristy, including Bozo's drunken stench, emanating from it.
"Let's go home. Now." She said, firmly, and charged into the light, still carrying Jenni and Sam. Her wings were outstretched and her back was to the Innkeeper, assuring she'd take the brunt of it if he - or whatever was behind the door - tried to attack them.
Squad 3 - Heaven > Saint University - Mikael
As they found themselves once more on Earth, Mikael rolled his neck. His self-inflicted wound had already almost healed, leaving only a fading mark, which would soon be gone with hardly a scar.
I'm growing stronger. He thought to himself. One day I'll surpass Martin, fires of creation and all. Heavens be damned.
He clenched his fist. Then he raised his head and smiled at Martin's proclamation. "Oh no, I'm telling Mahvash the moment she gets here. Getting you in trouble with your girlfriend is too good to pass up. And speaking of girlfriends-"
Almost as if on cue, another portal deposited more of their class. But it wasn't Martin's girlfriend that came out. Instead Ellie, wings spread, popped into existence, carrying Wren in one arm and Sam in the other.
Ellie almost collapsed the moment they were through, gently lowering Jenni and Sam to the ground. As she rose, Mikael grabbed her arms and pulled her close, the two demons meeting in a passionate kiss.
"You okay babe?" Mikael asked, pulling away. Ellie smiled.
"Yeah. Shit happened, but everyone's... okay. That thing inside of Wren is gone. And Wren's real name is Jenni."
"Huh. That's... something. Sounds a lot more intense than what we went through." He pointed a thumb towards his squadmate. "Martin threw himself into the Fires of Creation to absorb the power of some primordial Love Goddess. So that's a thing now."
"...we totally need to tell Mavvie."
"Oh, definitely."
They shared a laugh, and kissed again.
What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

Jenni – Squad 1 (Saint University)
“...Where...?” Jenni groaned, awakening from the dimensional displacement and looking a little queasy as she peeled herself away from the demoness' grasp and staggered off to the side.
A few dry heaves later, and she sat back, rubbing her temples as she adjusted to the fact Mother was gone.
For good.
Or at least, was a dimension apart. And had no interest in her anymore.
Jenni felt like she could cry with relief.
And so, after deliberation, she did.
Even though the creature had ruined her body, Jenni was free. She could live again now. She had a real family here. Her memories were hazy, but she knew it.
She would live without her, and she'd enjoy it.
Lily – Squad 1 (Saint University)
Lily was oddly quiet as she stepped through.
Her arms were wrapped around herself protectively, and she seemed anxious. Guarded. Still cut up and bruised, but it seemed like she was unsure of their safety. Like she couldn't quite believe they'd made it out.
She only faintly smiled at the reunion of the demons, then shut her eyes.
She didn't meditate.
She focused on alleviating her panic.
And standing there, shaking, was all she could do.

Mason - Squad 1
Mason heard the rest of his crew go through and assumed it would be fine for him to leave. So, he glared at the Innkeeper one final time.
He heard the Mother trying to desperately get out.
So, with a small amount of satisfaction, before he fell into the warming light of the orb, he turned back to the Innkeeper...and flipped him the double bird.
He fell through, and was back in the classroom.
He stood there for a moment, before he took a very, very, very deep breath...and turned his transformation off.
"Good job guys. Great bonding experience." He said, not looking at them just yet, taking a deep breath and he could feel the heavy bags under his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and grumbled.
"I feel a lot closer to all of ya'll for suffering like that. Good job. Great job. Love you all."

Squad 1
Sam could barely move as things ended this time. It was surreal, sometimes, how they were so close to death and insanity they could get sometimes, and then it suddenly ends.
"If it's the same to you, I could really use a drink" He muttered, not even bothering to hide how shaken he was. "I guess there are some people that need a check up, and probably an important talk or two, so, class over?" He needed to make a few calls later, but for now, he had to make sure the others are OK.
For some reason, he feels he has to explain what he went through there. Who knows what the others would have to say.
I.W
Ryuu was looking at his own body, taking note of his injuries, as he tried to figure out what happened. Sally was physically fine, so whatever happened must have been on his head. But that doesn't explain the beating.
Did he do that to himself? The kind of hits revealed that.
Of course, whatever that was, brought some fears to light, so of course it punched him in the face.
Sally was having an important talk, as he tried to give some privacy and support from the distance.
What is he supposed to do?

She wouldn't have immediately spit out all of that water if she'd known the rest were back. Damnable arcane teleportation...
Mahvash stared a bit, dripping brine or water. Smelled like brine. Flowed. Alot of it was clear but very phlegm-y. "Yes, I didn't visit the Isle of Gratook." She rolled up her jacket after peeling it off, doing nothing about the loud squelches.
"So," she plopped the thing on a desk as appropriately as one could manage. "What up?" Look with century eyes... With our backs to the arch And the wreck of our kind We will stare straight ahead For the rest of our lives
Squad 4-Vivian-Take Me Home, Country Road
As the warm, glowing orb popped into existence, Viv felt a huge sense of relief...followed by shame and disgust at herself. She was going to run. She already knew that, was flying towards the ball as the thought crossed her mind. Running. Running from a fight because you're not strong enough. Not good enough. You're a weak link, Viv. Even Ev and the Robo-cowboy had done more than her in that fight. And why? Because you weren't prepared. You weren't ready. You never have been.
As she landed on the other side of the portal, her thoughts were momentarily halted by the sight of Clay and Ev, both looking as if they were near death. Calling up her Suit, she leaped aboard and effortlessly scooped both of them up and a quick blast of her jets, they were at the infirmary before the echoes died away. Even as they flew, however, her feelings returned. Not good enough. Not strong enough. I need to really start working. Sacrificing. Breaking eggs. Her gaze dropped to the unconscious Clay's hi-tech belt, then to Evelyn's forehead. Better than them. I have to be.

"I love you, mom. Thank you."
Even if the choice still wasn't going to be easy, it was comfort to have her mother's support and while a serious talk, she decided it was something that needed to be talked about. She decided this would something she would need to bring up with Ryuu and rest of The Iridium Wonders. It would be be best to tell her boyfriend and friends of the issue in full.

King among Xanas
Squad 3-Back in class
He had hoped that Mahvash would remain absent from the class until he could make it home in order to explain things. But given that his team was quite dedicated to making life difficult because of a misunderstanding it was probably important to drop this before someone else did. Of course it would be too much to ask that they act to his personal wishes about a subject that was personal to him, and it did hurt a little that they seemed to push against his obvious discomfort with broaching this subject in a much more public setting, but there was little he could do at this point.
"Well, Bozo kind of scattered us around different multiverses by accident. A lot of stuff happened, and I might...well remember how I told you I would probably end up dying young?" he smiled at her, his body glowing with a faint energy for a moment before fading. "That is kind of...I mean its pretty unlikely at this point."

Jumping Bean (3)
Hearing the tramping of boots coming towards her, Jumping Bean quickly blustered "Wait! That's an unauthorized teleportation node! It has to be confiscated and investigated first—"
And then she slapped her hand on the thing, and was thankfully teleported back to class, sighing in resignation. "An audit could come at any moment. Any moment, I tell you," she said sadly, looking down at her suddenly very interesting shoes.
Perry (4)
Perry was just reacting to the blood all over her (yet it did not belong to her), when the the orb appeared. She dived for it after Vivian.
The impact of what she did hit her hard after she landed and she just—
—stared at her bloodied hands, throwing Geistcutter down in disgust.
The blade silently shrunk down as if cowering.
And then—
—Perry started sobbing quietly.
It was not the howling terror when she had seen the shadowy werewolf get "killed." It was not the tragedy of losing members of her werewolf family that wracked her body.
It was the anguish of one who had seen—and done—too much. Perry wordlessly curled up on her side and covered her face with her hands.

I wear the skin of the Elder Things, having come unto my own.
"Hey! Let go of me, please!"
"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Sally sat there trying to figure it out. She looked at the other Sally as well as she could. The other one had no metal limbs yet the same capabilities given the wings. Yet this one acted like there was no life to her and didn't even have emotions. A thought came to Sally and when it happened, she started to tear up.
"You finally figured it out, haven't you?"
[pink:"No, there is no way I will end like you!"]] She was crying now and kept reaching desperately for the orb.
"But, if you don't take that chance, you'll outlive them all and you wouldn't want to lose this all now, would you? Though, losing yourself wouldn't be good for anyone then, would it?"
"Stop it!" Sally deployed her wrist beams to get the other Sally's grasp off of her. As the other Sally recoiled, Sally touched the orb and was out of there.
Mist -> Classroom
Sally made it back and held her knees close to her chest. She needed to calm down after that. She pulled out her phone and sent a text:
Mom, can we talk about something? It's something that has been troubling me.
