Part 1: Forlorn
The top room of the hospital seemed safe enough. It was rather clean, with lights still working and all the beds placed in a certain order. Everyone lay on top of each bed, with only one window on the side which pointed outside, with a ground that was not only far away, it was unseeable. A Tv hung on a wall close to the roof and opposite of the window was a plain wooden door. The room was very quiet until Fey managed to wake up.

"W-what?" She asked. "Where are-" She quickly took a look around and stood on her feet in a flash. "Everyone wake up." She said. "We have a problem on our hands."

Zapor yawned. "Good morning,..bedroom?" Zapor looked around at the scene. "...Something tells me we didn't have a sleepover"

Zak woke up after. "Ungh...What happened?"'

Uisu's face appeared from the multicolored folds of her robe. "I'm up! Wait, what?"

"I'll say.." Saren grumbled as he tossed an empty bottle on the ground. "I'm out of whiskey.."

Leah groaned as she got out of her bed, looking around the dingy room. "Where are we?"

The TV suddenly turned on showing a girl in black fedora looking over the group. She was a purple furred cat and the resemblance between her and Echo was uncanny. It was clear that this was Echo's sister. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen!" She called out. "Welcome to a very fun game we're playing today. On our list we have an assortment of prizes for you to reap today! My name is Delta Radon and welcome to fight or flight!"

"Where's Echo?" Fey asked.

"Oh, I would worry less about my sister and more about some...other people, namely yourself." Delta laughed. "The game is really simple. You have one hour to escape this hospital, without cheating mind you. We've prevented certain spells and abilities throughout the hospital so if your wondering, it's because of that. After two hours they will be fully working again. Now you may be wondering about the time limit. We don't intend to kill you..." The screen changed to a beat up Neo hanging from chains in a dark room, a large saw was only a couple of feet away from him. "You see, in one hour, that saw is going to cut through your friend and leave quite a mess on the ground. The moment I catch any of you cheating, or I decide that this is no longer fun, I'll pull the cord and let that saw fly, oh the anticipation is killing me!"

Fey was extremely worried upon seeing this. Leah gasped and looked around for her staff which she grabbed off the wall beside her bed.

"Your weapons are fully working, and you will be able to use them against anything you see as an enemy. They won't do any good on the floor or walls however." Delta giggled. "Also we've drugged you all with enough hallucinogens to kill a fully grown horse and/or a Mobian so if you feel a little queasy that's just the acidics burning through you organs. Anywho there are traps all over the building and I'll be coming in every couple of minutes to check on you. Bye bye!" The screen turned off and she disappeared. A clock counting down from an hour appeared in its place.

Saren sighed. "Yeah, I'm calling shenanigans on the saw killing her. She's too valuable to that jerkoff who originally hired me without revealing who their associates were before calling me traitor and trying to off me."

Zapor moaned. "Ugh, now thats three things suck in less than 8 minutes. Grapejuice cat wants to saw Neo,I can't heal, and Echo's still missing." Zapor picked up his guns.

"You are correct Saren we can't kill Echo, that's why we're killing Neo instead." Delta said over the intercom. "And you wonder why our father fired, your clearly not that bright."

"And she can hear everything we're saying." Leah noted. "Great..."

"Ok, lets just get out of this room so we can get Neo, hit Grape Juice, and then save Echo." Zapor said as he walked to the door.

"You know, I would take offense to that but the execution was poor and we all know that if I wasn't that bright I'd have been offered a long time ago." Saren responded, he couldn't help but try to get the last word in.

"Is everyone awake?" Fey asked. "Or seeing anything odd?"

Zak looked at the group. Everyone looked the same, except for a small face, which was shrouded in darkness near a dark corner. He shook the feeling out his head. "...All good."

"I'm alive.. So no complaints here."

(Was trying to wait for the others but I think we should move on for now. -Neo)

"I'm all good here too." Leah noted, although she was unsure of herself.

"Alright," Fey said. "Let's move." She approached the door and slowly pushed it open into a very dark hallway, with broken benches, wilted plants, and several other doors, when attempting to open them most would be locked but there were a few exceptions. Fey stepped out into e dark. "Everything looks okay out here... I think."

Saren yawned, reaching around to see if his scythe was still on him.

Uisu looked around. No hallucinogens affecting her quite yet. "Well, we better get started!"

Fey pulled her sword from it's sheath. "I don't get it. I don't really feel that different, maybe a little groggy but I feel fine and I don't see any traps." She took another look around. "I don't see any stairs though..."

Leah conjured up an orb of fire to light up the area, it was clear though that her fire spells had been tampered with as only a dim light was produced from it. "Maybe their in one of the doorways?"

Zapor tried peeking through one of the windows on the door. "Uh..not in this one.."

"A hallway with no stairs..." Fey thought aloud. "There's always the elevator shaft."

"If there's even one of those around." Leah noted. "It's probably in a room too."

"This is getting booooooo-ring!" Delta's voice echoed through the intercom.

"Well if you didn't hide the stairs from us we would know where to go." Fey called back angrily.

Delta gave a very loud groan in annoyance. "It's in one of the rooms...just like, open one of the doors. I promise there's nothing else in the room except stairs. I didn't place any traps on the first floor."

"Ok, I'm gonna trust you, because something I saw once told me to trust grapes." Zapor said as a comeback. He then opened the door, but then almost lost all color in his fur.

"What is it?" Zak asked him.

"P-p-...pupeets!" Zapor yelled then hid behind Zak, though when Zak looked in the room, there wasn't any puppets.

Saren sighed, looking at zapor and shaking his head before entering the room. "The sooner we find Neo the sooner we can blow this joint back to hell where it came from."

Fey looked into the room. "Okay, drugs are working then..." She noted, then opened the next door which actually had stairs. "Stairs over here." She called, and descended into a new hallway which was filled with very creepy looking statues. They were almost like demonic versions of her friends. She noticed Zero and Apollo looking statues that appeared to be laughing Neo and Echo statues that were screaming and Fate and Celia statues which were crying. There was also what appeared to be a statue on that ground that had been smashed.

"Wow, someone's really into statue making." Lexi said following Fey, with Zak behind her carrying Zapor, who is still frieghtend by the puppets.

"I wonder what the smashed statue was..." Uisu took a closer look at the fragments. She briefly saw an image of a pitch-black echidna in her mind. Shuddering, she waved it aside as an illusion and stood back up.

The fragments were jagged and sharp, but judging from the powder on the ground, it was broken recently. It's also very easy to put the pieces together to get a small piece. It was very strange looking. It looked similar to Kala's heels on her shoes, but it also could have been part of a blade like from a sword or dagger, the rest of the pieces are too broken to tell who exactly it was.

"Oh aren't these just breath-taking?" Delta asked. "Litterally!"

Upon turning back away from the broken statue, the group noticed that the other statues had changed, they had moved closer to the group, all of them with their hands up trying to grab the necks of Knights.

"Statues that move..." Fey noted. "Like the mannequins from when Neo met Echo."

"Yep, the day where everything was set into motion and we all became enemies." Delta giggled. "We took the old idea our Dad did and sort of changed it to fit specific items. Like these statues! 'Course if your other friend was still around her statue would be up to..."

"Who was it?" Leah asked.

"Think about the one who's missing! She's been here this whole time. If only your memories hadn't been altered by Tallis..." Delta sighed.

Saren sighed, taking a swig of whiskey. "Fear toxin.. What's ne-...." Whatever Saren was going to say was cut off by silence.

Saren dropped his whiskey flask, whatever he saw must've horrified him to the core.

"The one who's missing? Not really specific, Grape Juice." Zapor muttered, now with his normal composture

Silence echoed from the room now.

"Oh so now she wants to shut up." Leah noted staring at the statues. "Guys I think we need to move on before anything happens."

Saren nods. "Aye aye."

"Zapor, master of comebacks." Zapor told himself as he moved foward.

"The one who is missing..." Fey whispered as she quickly grabbed the railing of the stairs and descended deeper into the hospital.

The next floor was very different from the rest. It was like a completely different building. In this new floor it was completely barren, nothing between here and the next flight of stairs. However Zapor and Saren might recognize this room as the same floor where they once battled Aero after he had taken several police families hostage.

"Hm. Room seems familiar." Zapor said.

Lexi shrugged at his comment. "At least there isn't any traps in this room." She walked foward.

"Well, I really don't get any of this nostalgia trip, but I'm sure it would be kinda creepy if I did. I wonder what berry smoothie wants with me?" Uisu wondered, walking into the room.

Immediatly upon walking furthur into the room, a portal opened in front of Lexi and out of it stepped Aero.

"Aero!....wait, this doesn't count as cheating right? Grape Juice has Neo in a saw." Zapor asked.

"That would certainly be a problem." Aero noted, a hint of spite dripping from his words. "If we didn't have other problems at this very moment."

"Hey, no fair that's cheating." Delta noted. "You're not allowed to bring friends into the hospital with you!"

"But you didn't say that when you gave us the rules." Fey said. "So we didn't listen."

There was silence on the other end before Delta responded back. "She's not wrong..." She said in an almost whisper. "But I'm a villain so I don't have to play by the rules! Say goodbye to Neo!"

Aero very quickly pulled his sword ready. "We need to hurry." He turned to the elevator.

"Wait a second." Leah said. "No, I'm not buying it."

"The hell are you talking about?" Aero asked.

"You're not real." Leah told him. "You don't have any magic energy."

"He had magic energy to begin with?" Zapor asked.

"I wouldn't know. Berry smoothie, you're not very good at this manipulation stuff." Uisu said to the disembodied voice.

"Every mobian has at least a minute amount of magical energy in them, not always enough to produce magic spells but enough that a wizard skilled in the mana sense could be able to detect them. Aero Facade, you always have a large amount of magic energy in you, so why is it that I can detect none of it?" Leah asked.

"I don't know, maybe Delta made your mana sense weak or something." Aero noted. "Look it doesn't matter, I'm here to help you."

"So you can betray us?" Leah asked. "No, I'm not buying it. I don't trust this guy."

"What do the rest of you think?" Fey asked.

"In all honesty I thought he was some cool dude with a sword, but he has a point. Our powers aren't exactly working." Zapor said.

"Plus, what would he gain if he did betray us? We get betrayed, Neo gets sliced, Delta laughs like a crazy person. I don't see how he would betray us, seeing that he...helped us in some points." Zak added.

"...Wait a minute." Uisu muttered, walking up to Aero. She thought back to the tournament. "Yeah, I remember you! If you really are who you say you are, tell me my name!"

"It's not like we have a choice, we're probably gonna need his help." Saren explained in a moment of clarity.

"Your name is Uisu." Aero told her. "But your real name is Platinum."

"Then we'll come with you." Fey noted.

"Fine, whatever." Leah sighed. "But I'm telling you all he's going to betray us."

"We need to hurry." Aero said, rushing to the stairs.

"Why don't you just use your portals?" Fey asked earnestly.

"I can't take us to a location I don't know." Aero told them. "So we'll just have to hurry."

The group descended even furthur down where they now were in a normal looking room with lots of corridors. It was also filled with what appeared to be walking pale people in dark hoods. Zapor would have recalled this from his date with Echo.

A blush grew on Zapor's face, part of his fur turning red to white. "How does Grape Juice know..about this?"
