Notes: Think we're in agreement of who's going with which team: 1. Kakushin, Rurushu and Chester 2. Ikiru and Hisan 3. Hino and Marzzi 4. Ari, Mizetto and probably the grand-papa's. 5. Hada, Labari, Zuura and I think, Mujihi?
Zuura was excited for this, it had been too many weeks since these nightmares first started, and finally those who were so agitated and sleep-deprived could finally get some justice. All the clan were worshipping the God of Night more than they already did, and Gensho didn't really want the popularity, but couldn't hide his own happiness over the Mun clans chances to fix things. It made Zuura giggle to think how far his funny family had come. From dangers people, taking bad jobs and doing whatever they could to cause trouble, to then almost dying out, to then being revived. And now, the Mun clan was known all around as saviours, respected by the rulers of both Angels and Demons, home to many Humans, Angels and Demons who all got along to prove how an alliance might be possible, and were now on the front line for stopping a global issue. Once again Zuura's little clan was going to be able to strut it's stuff in front of the world and earn a good name, he felt like a proud father. A proud father who was certainly not going to miss out on the fun. Yume had given the orders of preparation whilst she gain the cooperation of the Saints, and Zuura had the entire clan working towards getting it done. The biggest room Zuura could think of would work well for the kind of place Yume wanted. It was big enough to fit all those going into the Dream world in it, and since it was underground, it was pretty shut off and quiet. So the day was spent moving everything out of the hall, tables and chairs were taken out or stacked, comfier chairs were moved in, along with beds or materials for the dreamers to lie on. Once the room was perfect, albeit a little big, Zuura got back up to the surface in time for all those who'd volunteered to be involved to come together. They'd expect the Saints to come along soon too, and it have been a bit hard creating them their own room, in the end, the kitchen had to be converted into this separate room, since it was both shut off and close enough to Yume for her magic to be easier on her. Zuura didn't like all the fuss they were causing, but he was the one who'd recommended them, so Zuura kept his pout hidden. The leader took the stairs up to the surface, smiling to the others. "Room is ready, set, go, everyone!" Zuura announced with a smile. "We all set on teams? And whose am I on?" He asked, not knowing such a crucial piece of information that Zuura's selective hearing had probabl chosen to ignore up until now.

Yume glanced around the area, secretly glad that they made things easier for her, alongside making sure she had her own area to work, meeting the conditions set so far. There were a few last moment things to set out though, like who was on which team. Yume had looked into everyone willing to help by going in, and who got on well with whom for better chances, keeping in mind everything else included, now it wasn't an easy task so to speak, making sure it was all set, but she was confident with the teams, and she could always send them back if need be. Walking so she was next to Zuura, smirking slightly at his enthusiasm, despite the dangers of it, Yume looked to everyone. "Right, we have five teams, so remember who is on which, and make sure your sleeping near them, it will make connections easier for me. Team one, Kings, and Chester, you will probably be who Mitasu aims most for, considering your positions, so be extra careful. Team two, Ikiru and Hisan, yours will probably be the hardest to keep in control for reasons you know, so if you start to slip away, you need to give me a signal if you can. Team three, Hino and the Bastard Saint... Good luck in there. Team four, Ari, Mizetto and I believe Takeo, Okashi opting out to keep an eye on some kids I believe. I know you guys have had a bad run in with Mitasu already, don't let that deter you from the objective, in there, she will be in charge of things, don't screw up, it may cost you. And team five, Zuura, this would be you, Labari, Hada and Mujihi... Play nice together in there okay? I don't want to have to pull you out and knock sense into you." That was all the teams, Yume knew which ones would need more looking out for then the others, and had taken all aspects into consideration, but with that said, Yume gave one more look to the other, nodding slightly. "You have ten minuets to say anything needing to be said or done, before we start, so make yourselves comfortable, you be a while." Walking off to her own closed off section, Yume looked to Gensho, signalling him over.

Akvan had known his options ever since Yume said how tough it would be to allow him into the dream world with his extreme energy levels. So he'd sit out the fight on Mitasu, that is, until it came to actually locating her. It didn't upset Akvan so much that he couldn't help in the dreams, but that he'd have to watch the sleeping bodies of those he loved as they faced very dangerous situations. Though, he planned on sending them as much help as he could, since Solaris was getting easier and easier to use again now. He'd made sure the others got enough sleep, first visiting his sisters and giving them an older brother's talk. Labari took it well enough, Hada had tackled Akvan to the ground and held his arms painfully until he admitted that Hada was strong enough to defend herself without her stupid older brother fretting for no reason. So after that great success, Akvan had returned back home to Chester, making sure she got some rest at least. He'd certainly not been subtle with his fears for her, wondering if it was worth asking Chester to sit it out like he was. But he knew she'd never do that, and so let the topic alone. And Akvan had remained quiet until they'd all gathered outside the hall, listening to Yume announce the teams. It was good and bad. Chester would have Kakushin and Rurushu to protect her, but also be in the most danger. Hada and Labari? They had Zuura and Mujihi, and would likely get the least attention from the sheer power and size of their group. He swallowed down the fears of what might happen in there, simply holding onto Chester's hand tight as they all went down into the hall. Finally, Akvan couldn't contain his urge anymore. "W-will you be alright in there Chester?" He asked quietly, looking towards her without any intention on trying to hide his concerns right now.

Chester was prepared for what was to come, and she had her brothers, so she knew they would keep her safe, if not them, then she knew Akvan would do what he can. That didn't mean she wasn't terrified for what was to come, she's seen the power of Mitasu, what she can do. But Chester was adamant about helping, so it didn't deter her from the decision. Smiling softly to Akvan as he finally showed his concern, Chester held his hands tighter before leaning up to kiss him lightly. "I'll be fine Akvan, I have my brothers, and you watching over me. Besides, I have a very compelling reason to return alive don't I?" Chuckling slightly, Chester hoped she could help his concerns for her, Chester wasn't completely helpless, and she needing him at his best, considering how much he will be helping the others. "Seriously though, I'll be fine. Sure I'm scared, I'm sure many are, but this needs to be done, I want to help." It was sweet of him to worry though, and Chester leant up to give him a longer, lingering kiss this time, before moving back and smiling to him. "When this is all over, me and you will get some proper rest and spend a few days lazing around yeah?"

Post by Kakushin on Jul 13, 2015 22:41:34 GMT
Notes: Hane is NPC, because even though I remembered him at last, I can't be bothered to make a separate reply xD
Kakushin almost couldn't believe it when he was told that Yume had agreed. Whilst Kaku had been one to encourage Gensho to try and win over the crazy lady, he'd never really believed it to be possible. This was the same Yume, right? The one Kakushin had considered an old friend, very old considering he tried not to have too much to do with her when every visit was marked with pranks and pain. But he was glad to hear she was helping, perhaps in this giving state, Kakushin could try and talk to Yume again like they used to as young Guardians, before Yume became a true hermit. But that would be a maybe for now, since all everyone needed to think about was preparing themselves for the fights ahead. Kakushin had arrived in good time, Hane by his side as usual, even with the guard's new freedom in life. He watched Ru and Chester come along as well, giving his partner an embrace and quick kiss. "You ready for this?" He asked, knowing that if Ru was the other half of Kaku, then he'd have been doing nothing but fretting over the nightmares until now. Kakushin feared a lot, his race was already tiny in numbers, and these nightmares were a real problem. Plus, the never leaving, Peace Guardian side of Kakushin hated the panic the nightmares were making around here, so now was the chance to finally strike back hard. "His majesty didn't even sleep last night, it was worse than trying to get that Demon son of yours to sleep." Hane commented up to Rurushu, with an otherwise un-phased expression on his face. Kakushin smiled to Hane, "I used to go years without sleep, one night was nothing." He replied, following everyone else down and walking behind Chester and Akvan. Naturally the little guy was worried for his wife, it was likewise for everyone. Even Kaku was worried for Rurushu, but at least he'd be in the dream with his other half to be there to protect them. But Chester put it in a good way, and Kakushin smiled, "We'll all come back just fine. Sure we'll have the biggest fight going on, but we've also got a Hane." Kakushin stated, chuckling as Hane rolled his eyes, trying not to look flattered by the King's faith in him.

Rurushu wanted nothing more then to stop these nightmares for existing, having watched many die from them, knowing there was little they could do to help. And he couldn't be more grateful when Yume finally agreed to do just that, even with the conditions, which in his book was completely understandable. Looking to Kaku, Ru gave him a smile. "Course I am, these nightmares aren't getting rid of themselves. Are you?" Ru was curious though, as to how they started, seeing as this Mitasu had remained dormant for years according to Tenshi, and something must have awoken her, but what is what he was trying to figure out. Ru had also opted out of sleep last night, but after yeas with the outlaws, he was definitely use to it, even if he was acting like a hypocrite and giving Kaku a look for not doing sleeping, despite knowing his other could handle it. Stopping as Akvan and his sister did, Ru gave both a small smile, understanding the situation perfectly, he was worried for Kaku, as well as his sister, but at least he was with both of them so he could protect them, where as Akvan opted to stay behind due to his power. "Yeah, we'll be fine, nothing to worry about, it not like we cant take it. We've all been in worse situations before..." Rurushu didn't really want to bring the past up, but he knew just thinking on it may help the nerves a little, seeing how it was true, and they were still here.

Post by Ikiru Sonzai-Suru on Jul 14, 2015 20:56:38 GMT
The hard decision that Ikiru faced on whether to go into the dream world or not. He was unstable, and in there, where the magic his sister used to keep Ikiru from going savage would be weakened, who knew what side Ikiru would end up on. But Yume told him it was possible to keep the Kyuban blood back, so long as Ikiru's team was small enough. So the Angel had agreed to go in, seeing it as a duty of the Guardian of Life to go and stop these nightmares, plus Ikiru had the perfect person for his partner in there. And Ikiru would have picked no other, Hisan was his chosen one as always, and knew in there, Ikiru didn't need to worry too much about his Kyuban blood. Not after the talk he and Hisan had about the whole situation. Ikiru was waiting outside like the others, smiling and talking to the rest of the teams until he spotted Hisan join. The Angel was over to the Demons side quickly, giving him a hug. "Guess we get to be on a team together again Hissy! Just like old times, huh?" Ikiru said with a huge smile. He was excited for this fight to start, the first opportunity for the Angel to show off with Hisan, and Ikiru was looking forward to it. Letting Hisan go, Ikiru poked him teasingly, "Are you nervous? Are you Hissy? Not that you need to worry cutie, I'll look after you." Ikiru jested, following everyone down as they all moved.

Hisan was not happy to be here, and wanted things over before they began. He wouldn't even be here if he hadn't heard that Yume was in charge of this operation, he had heard about the Angel, and knew if he refused to help Ikiru, then it would be her hunting him down, now he didn't fear much, but she was definitely an exception, and he hated that, despite never meeting her before. Growling slightly, Hisan glared over to Ikiru before pushing him away, he was in no mood to be dealing with this tonight. "Yeah, yeah whatever." Hisan scoffed, before folding his arms, of course he wasn't nervous, there wasn't anything to be nervous about, except if he let Ikiru be in charge of keeping him safe, then he would be. But as that wasn't a problem, as it wasn't going to happen, Hisan was perfectly fine, just wanted to get things over and done with as soon as possible. "Ikiru, I suggest shutting up before I leave you alone in there. I'm in no mood to be dealing with your happiness..." This really couldn't end soon enough for him, and it has only just begun... Remind him why he agreed to go into these dreams with only Ikiru?

Post by Hada on Jul 14, 2015 21:23:04 GMT
The Human girl was itching for action, finally a chance to get some sleep, and kick the ass of the bastard causing these nightmares too. Hada couldn't wait to start these nightmares, naturally being on the first to volunteer for them. She'd got what sleep she could, but Hada had never been a child that could rest easily. Ask Akvan, but it was impossible to get Hada to sleep when she was too pumped to close her eyes and relax. So Hada had spent the night training up, sharpening her sword and eating all she could. Who knew when the next meal might be, and Hada found the dream concept too confusing to realise she didn't really need to have a midnight feast. After swallowing that down, she had a nap for a few hours before waking up at dawn. She hated Akvan for being all scared about her going whilst he stayed, Hada blamed it on that fact that her brother was upset that he couldn't go kick ass like she was going to. A quick tussle soon forced the fear out of Akvan, and got Hada warmed up for the visit to the dream world. Waiting next to Labari, Hada could hardly keep still. "Sleep well sis? I sure as hell couldn't, who could when somethin' this excitin' is about to happen." Hada asked. She almost exclaimed happily when Yume announced the sisters were on Zuura's team, it was often they got to fight with the leader and Hada always wanted to see Zuura's crazy fighting style. She wasn't so pleased about their other partner. Hada didn't care how long Mujihi had been in the clan now, she still hated that bitch for all she'd done. A huff and glare was all Mujihi got, as Hada marched down to the hall like everyone else.

Labari managed to fall asleep easy the night before, knowing they were now tackling the Nightmare problem, and she wanted to be in her best condition when in the dreams, she worried for the others though, she knew most didn't sleep as they were too hyped for this, and part of her believed it to go south for them later on, seeing how most hadn't slept for days. Looking to her team though, Labari knew things would work out okay, they were all strong, and all ready for this. Sighing slightly, Labari gave a smile. "Sure did, made sure I was fully prepared for today..." Looking to the others, Labari briefly wondered why Mujihi was on their team, it being an unlikely pairing, but she wouldn't complain, because despite Mujihi's nature and the things she did... She had proven to them she could help, and Labari knew there was something more going on in her head as to why she stuck around. "What about you both? I sure as hell know that sleep hasn't been easy for most. Hada being a prime example." She didn't blame her sister though, Hada had always been like this, why would she change now?

Zuura didn't really mind whose team he'd be on. He'd even offered to keep the Saints company in theirs, but it wouldn't be the best idea. He was the leader of a clan that readily accepted Angels and Demons, and Zuura himself was an offspring of both. Although the latter wasn't publicly known, Zuura wouldn't risk the company of the Saints in the Dream land. But he was thrilled to be with his two shining stars, and Mujihi, whose hobbies weren't too far off Zuura's. Three ladies close to Zuura's heart, and he'd keep them safe, though perhaps let them get some wounds, blood was pretty cool after all. Zuura nodded to Yume, waiting for his team-mates before following her down. "Heh, I didn't get any beddy-byes, too busy making comfy beds for everyone in here. Plus I thought, we're kinda sleeping as we fight right? Can't be that bad to miss out a nap." Zuura replied, before pointing the others to their area. He practically dove onto his bed, rolling around like a dog to try and get comfy like Yume ordered. Finally settled, Zuura sighed, "Oh boy, our clan gets to do all the fun stuff, huh? Well, I'll see you three in there, try not to get too many boo-boos, m'kay?"

Mujihi wasn't a fan of many in the Clan, Zuura, Rurushu and Nanari being the exceptions, the two latter for a reason, and Zuura because he wasn't like the others with things, but that's not hard to tell. So most of the time she stuck to herself, only turning up when it was needed, otherwise staying out of everyone's way, not that she minded. Most like Hada still didn't really trust her, again something she wasn't really bothered about, Mujihi didn't care for all that. But Hada always seemed to get under her skin, so why the others paired her up with this team was beyond her, its not like they needed the help, even if Mujihi did offer her help just because she wanted to meet the woman who created pain in such a way, hoping to find her secrets. Smirking to Hada as she got a scowl, all Mujihi did was give a slight nod at things, before heading to her own bed and lying down, facing away from the others. "Even if someone does get hurt, you will enjoy the sight of blood and I will get a small power boost from your pain. So it wont be all that bad." Closing her eyes, Mujihi made sure she was comfortable, ignoring the rest around her, she would have to spend too much time with them in the Dream, so why put up with it now too.

Post by Jasper Misiah on Jul 15, 2015 21:51:53 GMT
Whilst rest wasn't really directed towards those not going into the dream world, Jasper still got a bit of his share. It was brought to a quick end by persistent nightmares. He should have never touched Yume's hand, having his curse flare up had reminded Jazz about it. It was hard to forget about a permanent curse, but Jasper always tried, just to get away from the awful nightmares. So last night had been a reminder to Jasper about it all, and even without Mitasu's influence, Jasper felt horrid about it. He'd spent the rest of the night just composing himself into the right mindset to keep the other's morale up, up earlier to get them ready as well. Only Marzzi and Hino were going, but Jasper felt like he could rely on them to get the job done. They'd known each other a while, and had a bond beyond being both Saints and comrades. The Saints got to the clan in good time, there early so they could get used to the slow increase in others around them. The Demons and Angels gathering around. Jasper knew he'd behave so long as they all did, but his hand remained over his sword, just in case. Once Yume had ordered them into their groups, Jasper lead the other two down, after being pointed to the team's separate room. It was a kitchen, not the nicest place, but Jasper couldn't complain. It was well within their conditions, so they'd be fine. Jasper gave the room a little look around, before turning to face Hino and Marzzi with a smile. "I know I don't need to ask if you two are ready. This is the kind of mission the Saints were made for. You'll do our race proud, I'm sure." Jasper said to them. "That said, Hino, try to stop Marzzi from getting himself killed in there, alright? Repairs aren't full complete to the base yet." Leaving the two to get ready, Jasper noticed the Human woman they'd requested to be around with them. Nanari, as Jasper had been told. Well respected by a lot of people, and an incredible healer. Whilst her opinion on Angels and Demons was the opposite of the Saint, Jasper felt like she could be trusted. So he bowed his head to her, "You must be Nanari, I'm Jasper, leader of the Saints. As I see it, you'll be keeping me and my men company during this event?"

Nanari had seen too much involving everyone here to really worry for them properly. Sure, she was terrified for their safety, and sure she didn't want anyone hurt, but for years she has watched each triumph over the enemy, years of watching them come out on top for her to truly show concern, she had faith in all, and she had faith they would be fine. It was everyone else she feared for, seeing as this enemy could harm without them knowing really, killing them in their sleep, at least it wasn't exactly painful in a sense, despite the wounds on their bodies, she had tended to them, dead, or somehow alive. And she had spent far too many nights awake watching over those she cared for, making sure they remained fine throughout the night, those she allowed herself one night of rest before today, she was both watching over the Saints, and any who get injured, alongside the help of Burea and Tulus. Speaking of which, Tulus pointed over to the kitchen in which Nanari headed over to greet the other. Now, she understood and respected the Saints dislike of the other races, and wouldn't hold it against them, and she was ever so grateful for them helping, but she hoped afterwards they wouldn't cause problems, because she didn't want out of one battle, just to head into war. Looking to Jasper, Nanari gave a smile, before holding her hand out to shake. "Pleasure to meet you. And that I shall be, alongside healing those I need to. So if I happen to disappear for a moment, that's what I will be doing, but I will return, and leave my trusted friend Tulus here in my place until I return." Nanari knew Jaspers conditions asked for someone Human he could trust, but as she was doing this and healing, she hoped Tulus could take her place for those moments, instead of someone else who would be less understanding.

Marzzi felt stocked to the teeth in weapons. All strapped around his belt or in his boots or hidden in his cloak. They weren't just for the dreams, but for Marzzi's protection. Despite knowing no one in this clan was going to dare try something on the Saints today, Marzzi was never one to trust those who sided with Angels and Demons. If a fight broke out, now or after the nightmares, then Marzzi wanted to be ready. Plus, he wanted his babies near him, they were a great use should things go south in the dream world, which the confident Saint didn't think was possible. Doing as promised like a loyal dog, Marzzi didn't growl or bite at any of the others as they all gathered outside, he simply remained silently behind Jasper. But nothing stopped Marzzi's deathly glare towards Yume when she called him a bastard. But the gorilla still didn't lose his cool, only snorted a little and grinned. That was right, the more Yume became hated by Marzzi, the better the feeling when he finally got to gut the bitch. So he encouraged her, encouraged Yume in his mind to keep being a bitch. Marzzi's heavy feet stomped behind Jasper, looking towards Yume one last time as the others went into the kitchen. "Oi bitch, don't try anything funny in there. You mess with me, and I'll promise you, you won't last another night. Got it? Even if I die, I've got the others to promise me that they'd do it for me." Marzzi growled, before storming into the kitchen. It was tiny, at least for the huge Marzzi, so he wasn't so pleased with their room. Fortunately, Jasper spoke up to distract Marzzi from his agitation. Marzzi smiled down to Jasper, of course the kid worried for him and Hino. But his faith in them, as much as Marzzi was a cruel and grumpy guy, he still felt honoured to get that faith. Chuckling to Jasper, Marzzi shoved Hino a bit, "Small fry needs to be watching his own ass in there, most like I'll be the one saving it after all." Marzzi replied, turning to head towards his bed and make final checks on his weapons.
