Gordon blinked, realizing that it had been incredibly blurry and neigh-impossible to see. He put his glasses back on as quickly as possible, to clear his vision in case something nasty came along to try and dismember everyone.
This time, Quingenti's body seemed warp. The darkness that made up his form cracked and bent backwards in a manner that seemed physically impossible, as the section of his body that was being targeted by the scythe stretched out of the way. The needles that made up his right arm lashed forward, towards the air around the scythe.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up.""Whatever that is, I think it's getting worse!" Hope shouted, drawing his boomerang and summoning a fireball around his left hand.
"Yup. That tasted purple."It was at this point Mason found the cause of the disturbance.
"What the fuck?"
"I'm...fine, I think," Dr. Langley replied, massaging her throat with one hand as she slowly rose to her feet; faint bruise marks could be seen on her neck, mute testament to the force which had nearly throttled her to death a short while earlier, though these were slowly beginning to fade from sight as though they had never existed in the first place. Even so, the red-headed scientist continued to breath with a bit of difficulty, as though whatever damage this attack had inflicted upon her windpipe had not fully been healed just yet.
"Anyway, the transmitter has been destroyed," she continued a moment later. "Without it, we can't be tracked by Washington, so we should be in the clear for now; give me fifteen minutes, and we'll get on our way."
With these words, she strode into the bus and sat down within the large, comfortable confines of the driver's seat; within seconds she had nodded off, and the faint sound of her snores could be heard if one listened hard enough.
Ravage watched her enter, then turned to regard Jack and the others. So, they had attained the Key without his assistance; worrisome, to say the least. He glanced into the bus once more, fixing his gaze on the sleeping scientist and purring to himself in silent contemplation. Was it her, then?
With a wet splortch, the juvenile leviathan was torn in half widthwise; the creature gave out a weak burble and fell limp as it died, its body dissolving into a caustic black gel within Megatron's hands.
FINE THEN, that distorted, flanging voice spat into Bolas' mind. I'LL LET YOU GO FOR NOW, INSECT. BUT REMEMBER...
Something hot and burning shot out of the dark to slam into the Elder Dragon's chest, searing some manner of brand painfully into the scales and flesh of his right breast.
...I HAVE MY EYES ON YOU. I DO NOT FORGET, WORM, AND I NEVER FORGIVE.
With those words, the darkness dispersed, and Bolas would find himself back in the clearing with the others once more.
The Danse Macabre CodexRey stood a bit away from the others, visor flicked back, staring out into the woods. He wasn't giggling or rocking himself this time, just staring in complete silence.
Easing back into life one step at a timeThe Doctor stands over Rey. He would touch Rey's shoulder but the Doctor doesn't want to stain him with blood. "You OK buddy?"
To Be Updated when I'm not LazyYou wouldn't be worth my time nor attention if you did, the dragon thought to himself, now looking about the clearing next to the spinnerbus. "What have I missed?"

How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?"I don't want anyone else to fall up the stairs, Mike. Tried to stop it for Gordon, didn't know how I could stop it for anyone else. It's not nice up here. It's not nice up here at all, but you're on your way up already..."
Easing back into life one step at a time"Rey... Remember what we've all gone through in our lives. You know our histories better than anyone."
To Be Updated when I'm not Lazy"This place isn't like those places. Can't describe. Nothing is what it is."
Easing back into life one step at a time"Rey. I've fought through the Time War. Gordon had to fight the Combine. We've all fought through hell and back Rey."
To Be Updated when I'm not LazyRey shook his head, turning, gritting his teeth, looking like he was trying to find words. "No...those things...Mike...NOT Mike...worse things, worse things." He shook his head hard, smacking himself in the temple hard. "Trying to come down, trying to come down..."
Easing back into life one step at a time"Rey... You see the blood right? I didn't kill all these people. I only killed the Daleks and the Time Lords... and that was for the universe."
To Be Updated when I'm not LazyI fear for the sanity of my cohorts... at least for those who were not obviously insane to start with.
Rey shook his head hard, looking up at the Doctor, wincing. "Don't follow me."
Easing back into life one step at a time"Rey! Don't you dare kill yourself buddy. You promise me that!"
To Be Updated when I'm not Lazy"Hang in there, Jack."
Spriggan gave the samurai the thumbs up.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"Rey shook his head firmly. "No. Not up the stairs." He turned, heading for the bus, muttering as he went. "Not up the stairs, don't follow up the...up the stars..."
Easing back into life one step at a time"OK seriously Rey you just lost me. Restart that sentence please?"
To Be Updated when I'm not LazyRey turned, grabbing the Doctor by the shirt, almost yelling at him. "I fell up the stairs! You're coming up the stairs, everyone is coming upstairs, DON'T FOLLOW ME!"
Easing back into life one step at a timeBack in the Common Room, Sigma's insane laughter could be heard.
The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the groundThe Doctor sees no blood get on Rey. "It doesn't stain you... It doesn't stain you... I'm innocent.... I'm innocent. I'm not a killer."
You are no better than the Master dear Doctor. The Doctor shudders. "I'm not... I'm not..."
To Be Updated when I'm not Lazy"Look, Doctor," says Galen. "You cannot stay clean and yet survive in this universe in which we exist; everybody does something bad some time or the other. True goodness is found in the ability to recognize your failings and correct them."
The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground"I understand this. But... I used guns... I've killed many species. I'm not a hero... What separates me from the Master? Or Saren?"
To Be Updated when I'm not Lazy
Bolas said nothing to the shadows, enjoying the sounds of what he assumed to be anger at the reversal of the 'punishment' planned. The dragon stood stock-still, mouth hanging slightly open in that toothy draconic grin.
