ish I knew, lass. Apparently, I jus' have dat' effect on people," Farrin replied with a smirk. Theatrics. Psychological warfare by means of brimming confidence. Call it what you want, but Farrin was just buying time as a few dots lined up in the space between his ears. Exhausted as he was, taking pen to paper and connecting those dots was simple enough.

This Lila knew him. Or, well, she knew of him. Knew that "people" were chasing him. Many at that, which at the top of the list, of course, was Ouroboros. Maybe she knew something about them? He had gone quite some time without any leads. Add that item to the number of reasons he needed to succeed here, and it was clear he needed to focus up. Not an easy task when the enemy was moving at speeds not unlike his own. 

The world rumbled below their feet. Farrin took a step back, temporal warning flaring his mind, but his footing shifted and shuddered. He stumbled, face flushed with crackling electric heat. Any closer and he would blister, if not burn outright, but as the whip inched by, Farrin darted forward. Then the whip came around again, and this time, it caught him on the side, and the time-turning student flew. His waist-cape flapped, and the boy spun, crashing into a trio of lesser thugs armed with knives and one with a quirk that left him clawed. 

Tanned leather and putridity. Like cooked meat but wrong. Farrin looked down to find the source of the assaulting odor. His ribs. The suit ate some of the damage but not all of it. The electric current seared his side black. "Shite. Okay, I felt dat' one," he coughed up. One of the thugs shook the confusion away. Realization dawned on him, and he picked himself up. Farrin lunged upward, throwing his fist into the man's jaw. The heel of his boot his one of the thugs still on the ground, then he dug the toe into the side of the other's head. Robbed of consciousness, he turned back to Lila, who was facing the others. Farrin leaped into the air and threw his fist forward in a punch aimed at the woman's jaw. 

---

tldr: Farrin contemplates Lila's knowledge of him, dodges her first attack, but is caught by a second, which knocks him into three other thugs. His side is burned, and he's hurting, but he manages to knock the three thugs out, then jumps back toward Lila, trying to punch her in the jaw.

[Marlene Lovechild]

'She talks too much... BREAK HER JAW!'

'Yes she does... But no, I will not...'

Marlene gritted her teeth a little, her expression getting more than a little annoyed as she listened to the villain girl's long tirade. Maybe she was buying for time or something? That was often a ploy. She was wrong about Zenkai, in his current form. Machines weren't just electronics. He was like a mechanical clock. That little sparkling whip would not do much against him. The rest of the swarm could, though. They were weak, but there was a lot of them... In a confined space... If she were to just let it all out... they'd all be cinders in a blink of an eye...

'DO IT. Your boyfriend would survive. Probably...'

Marlene did not deign the voice with an answer. But she did get an idea from it. It was risky... to let go of the leash, and hold it at the very last moment. But the alternative was to beat up all those people... And probably hurt or even kill a whole lot of them. When the electrical whip came for her, she simply stepped back behind Zen, letting him protect her with his toughness and bigness. Instead, she faced the horde coming at them, with all sort of weak quirks they were being armed with. She took a deep breath, her mouth starting to glow again, only much, much brighter. These guys have seen what happened last time she decided to spit into the corner of the room. This time, it threatened to be... worse.

"YOUR EXISTENCE ANNOYS ME." - Marlene declared, her voice booming much louder than what her little frame suggested. Enough to outboom the screams and noises of battle and, possibly, bring everything to a halt. It had a deep, demonic-possession-like reverb to it. Her head slowly turned as even her eyes started glowing. Without her pupils visible, it would look to everyone she saw straight in the eyes. Fumes of heat rolled off of her, to those closest feeling like standing close to a furnace. 

"IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIVES... BE SOMEWHERE ELSE!"

___________________

TLDR: Marlene lets Zen shield her from the electric sword lady and hides behind him. She then lets the beast inside her come forth, just barely holding it back, in an attempt to scare the mooks off!

✧ THE NIGHTMARE COMETH ✧

These smartass kids were getting on her nerves, pissing her off more and more with each passing second. The anger and frustration she felt directly translated into her attacks as Lila did nothing to hold back, not even the fact that they weren't pro heroes could save them from her wrath. After she had successfully lashed out at Farrin she turned towards Marlene, immediately proven wrong as the hero student took cover behind Zenkai and he didn't take the damage Lila had expected. ''Hiding behind a shield? Must be nice to have such a useful tool at your disposal!'' She spat, waiting for her opportunity to circle around Zenkai so she could get to Marlene. Seeing her underlings approach from behind she grinned. Perhaps she didn't have to after all.

''Lila-sama is right, we can win!'' What little confidence the group of underlings had was immediately crushed when Marlene turned to face them and her mouth started glowing, stopping them dead in their tracks. By the time she started speaking, booming voice filling the whole police station, several of them were shaking and had already dropped their weapons. ''W-We're sorry!! Don't kill us!'' They whimpered, retreating with little regard for what Lila or their boss would think. ''You guys!'' Lila called out with more desperation than she liked to admit. ''Who the hell are you people?'' Even she was feeling intimidated by Marlene's scary display. Luckily for her she just had to defeat Marlene and Zenkai and then... Huh? When Lila turned to look in the direction where Farrin had been moments prior all she saw was more downed gang members. Had that boy really managed to beat them all despite his injury?

Searing pain was the next thing she felt as Farrin landed a punch square on her jaw, then her vision went blurry. Unable to keep ahold of her sword she dropped it, causing the electricity coursing through it to fade into thin air as she went flying and tumbling to the side of the room. ''You're all... Freaks...'' She muttered, too weak to get back up.

Just as everything seemed to be winding down, just as The Purple Madness seemed to have run out of combatants, the ground shook again. Then, distorted voices coming from the basement, almost like a broken record player.

''It was...''

''It was...''

''One...''

''One...''

''Eyed...''

''What a sight...''

In the blink of an eye the dance floor collapsed in on itself and a giant purple monster emerged. Looming over the group of hero hopefuls, this one-eyed, one horned monster slowly turned to look at Zenkai and Marlene. ''Who dares wake me from my slumber?'' Just like Marlene's intimidation voice, his too was booming. Spit dripped from his maw as he barred his fangs. ''That voice, it was yours wasn't it?'' He honed in on Marlene, using his left hand to manifest a giant purple scythe of what looked to be pure flames. ''You will pay! I'll add you all to the pile of bodies, ripe for the final sacrifice!'' He swung his scythe at Marlene and Zenkai, attempting to burn and cut them down then and there, leaving no room for negotiation.

Pure Purple Madness

TL;DR:
Lila tries to kill Marlene after she got a hit in on Farrin, but can't get past Zenkai. Marlene's intimidation tactic manages to scare off the weaker gang members and even causes Lila to hesitate leaving her open to Farrin's punch, taking her out of commission. Just when the fight seems won the boss awakes and comes through the collapsing dance floor. He's a giant one-eyed one horned purple people eater and he immediately tries to attack Marlene and Zenkai because of her booming voice which woke him up.

o celebration. No hesitation. Even for the wielder of the hourglass, there simply wasn't any time for that. Farrin felt his fist connect and experienced the minute shift in Lila's weight with the blow. A ripple became a wave. Her head must have been spinning, pounding, whirling with concussion as she was then sent flying and crashed into the other side of the station-turned-club. A well-earned victory, but one that did not last. 

A giant. A miasmatic beast that exuded threat more than it needed to speak it. And yet, it honed in on Marlene for her earlier declaration. Farrin placed a hand on his neck's right side, then leaned into it for a satisfying crack. "Jaysus, I really need ta' get that 1-800-BAD-GUYS number n' shut da' whole op down," he sighed. There were always more. The golden rule of heroism vs villainy, "Thou shalt deal wit' more bullshite e'ery goddamn time."

Zenkai was clearly one of those affected by the phenomena that had taken the city. That much had been obvious from the start. Whatever the chance, he wasn't the quickest to react like this. He could certainly take hits from that electro-whip but against something this size? Would he and the girl, even with her firepower, be able to hold the thing back? 

"Hit it!" He shouted before having moved. 

In a heartbeat, he flew. Farrin kicked off the ground and sped into the scythe. As he closed the distance, Farrin fired a few stun rounds into the monster, and when all that distance was destroyed, he latched onto the weapon's snath (handle). He slowed the swing, pushed back with all he had, and diverted the angle of attack to the best of his ability. 

Farrin couldn't stop the attack, but throwing it off mark, the swing swept him off his feet and sent Farrin flying again. He crashed into another of the station's far walls. Small cracks and fissures split across the walls like a spiderweb. Every nerve and muscle fiber felt aflame. It wasn't a direct hit, the blade landing nowhere near Farrin, but the force behind the blow rode straight through him as he was flung away. Farrin dropped from the small crater left in the wall and onto the floor. 

"Sonuvabitch," he coughed up. He didn't get up immediately this time.  

---

tldr: Farrin told the others to attack, then shot a few shock rounds at the monster while closing in on it. When he closed in entirely, he grabbed onto the scythe, applying as much force as possible to cut the swing short of reaching Marlene and Zenkai. He is then sent flying and is firmly planted in one of the walls before collapsing onto the floor. He's now trying to recover.

[Marlene Lovechild]

Marlene took a deep breath, vapors coming out of her mouth, as though she was cooling down a big, hot volcano inside of her. 

Seeing that these fools decided to run and flee, helped that a lot. There was no reason to unleash whatever destructive power was stored deep inside of her. Or so she thought. Until the floor broke. And a big demon-thing appeared in front of her. Looming over them, being intimidating. Pointing at her. Targeting her. Talking about how they were going to be sacrifices. It made Marlene feel scared. And then ... it made her feel angry. The furnace inside of her wanted to fight. Her mouth started to glow again. The stranger, Farrin, did his best to divert the scythe from her and Zenkai, getting hurt in the process.

'He's hurting your friend. DO IT. FIRE!

She did. A beam of crimson red energy striking across the room, aimed at the monster's face. Marlene tried to keep a hold of it, but it was much harder this time. The blast was at least four times stronger. It blew everything in the room up, and maybe even knocked down some of the nonsupporting walls. Dust, debris, and fire flooding Marlene's vision. She too was flung across the room and slammed against the wall. Good thing this new body of hers was every bit as durable, if not more. But she felt something going down one of her nostrils. Blood. Her blood. Such a curious thing.

Coughing a bit from all the smoke and dust, she got up, and called into the rubble. 

"Zen? Farrin?"

She sounded worried.

[Fanthes]

✧ THE NIGHTMARE COMETH ✧

The stun rounds Farrin fired easily hit the giant Boss, but he didn't seem all too affected by them. A couple of them even bounced off his thick skin. What it did do, was draw attention from the monster, as the giant let out a low growl and turned his eye to look at Farrin. Gripping his scythe tighter, the Boss tried to struggle for control against Farrin's attempt to divert the attack, but ultimately couldn't match his accelerated push, causing the scythe swing to narrowly miss Marlene and Zenkai. The blade of the scythe buried itself deeply into the floor, the space around the cut immediately corroding on impact like a hot knife cutting through butter. The floor around the blade sizzled as the Boss looked back at Marlene, just in time to eat her crimson beam.

The impact was destructive, perhaps even more so because of the confined space. Walls, furniture, everything that got caught in the radius of the blast melted or crumbled away, which was only exacerbated when the Boss, who took the beam head on was sent flying backwards. The whole building shook as his massive corpus flew into the far back wall, wrecking even more of the already ruined police station. The Boss groaned, his loud breathing had slowed down but despite the massive blow Marlene dealt he still got back up onto his feet. Much like the students he took a moment to get his bearings before slowly walking back over towards his scythe.

Meanwhile, just outside the police station, the hero students would be able to hear voices arguing.

''We're wastin' time here! The students are riskin' it all for us!''

''I agree! Is it not at times like this when heroes shine their brightest?''

The voices belonged to a man and a woman, and were followed by fast approaching footsteps and a third voice calling out.

''Apparel, Captain- wait!''

Leaping through the hole in the wall a pro hero wearing her signature red dress soared through the air, spinning a chain whip that she was winding up, before letting go and lashing the Boss right in the eye, causing him to stagger back and slow down. ''Serves ya right, ya big bastard!!'' The foulmouthed hero wore her iconic dress, but had lost her recognizable red devil horns and auric cross eyes in the quirk swap. Instead, her current quirk bore a strong resemblance to that of Sadako, UAU's Student Counselor's quirk. After hitting the boss once she grinned and looked over at Farrin, immediately rushing over to help him back up. ''Up ya go! Ya all right? Think ya can go for another round with that thing?'' She wanted to check in and make sure he was okay, but Myling had told them there were multiple students present.

Just as the Boss villain opened his eye, a buff hero with a black handlebar mustache longer than his wide shoulders snatched the scythe up with one hand. ''We'll be confiscating this, good sir!'' He took the scythe and chucked it backwards out of the station, much to the dismay of the third guy him and Apparel had been arguing with, as he screamed and dove for cover. ''Fear not brave students, for we are here! Apparel and Captain Charisma will be aiding you in this battle!'' Apparel rushed over to Marlene's side next. ''Can ya stand? Ah heard a few badass students were out here fightin' the good fight, was that ya three?'' Her gaze wandered as she noticed a door further in the back. ''Does that lead ta the hostages? Oi, Captain! Can ya an' the students handle this big lug? Ah'll check on the civis!'' She called out to her colleague who gave a simple thumbs up, but accidentally flexed his arms so hard it ripped his sleeves clean off his uniform. ''Leave it to us, Apparel! Isn't that right, young heroes?!'' He looked at the hero students, trying to hype them up.

Manifesting a blue battle standard out of thin air, Captain Charisma slammed it into the ground with gusto. The banner glowed and as if he had opened the portal into another world, a tiny marching band made up of cutesy cats marched on through, letting their adorable little song fill the station as they slowly took shape. Eventually once the whole band was gathered they split into groups of three, all choosing one of the hero students to rally around and comfort. As if placed under some kind of spell, all three students would be able to feel their pain grow numb, and the energy they had spent fighting the Purple Madness return to them like they hadn't just been fighting nonstop.

''That's it! We sing, we dance, we fight for justice!!'' Captain Charisma posed dramatically. ''Show this foul villain what you're made of young heroes!''

Pure Purple Madness

TL;DR: Farrin successfully diverts the scythe attack from Marlene and Zenkai. Marlene's beam does significant damage to the Boss and the surroundings, but the Boss isn't done yet. Reinforcements show up as pro heroes Apparel and Captain Charisma join the fight. Apparel checks in on Farrin and Marlene to make sure they're okay, while Captain Charisma confiscates the Boss's scythe. Apparel is planning to make a dash for the backrooms to free the hostages, while Captain Charisma uses his quirk to restore any energy the students have lost while fighting the Purple Madness gang.

T

he authorities would not be pleased with the damage done to the police station. Even with a view dotted by stars and framed with blurriness, Farrin saw more of the roof crumbling above. If that was Zenkai's quirk Marlene now possessed, it was starting to run rampant. Silt caked over the black of his hero outfit cracks webbed out across a chunk of the ceiling above, and then it collapsed. 

"C'mon now, give us a break," he coughed up, raising his hands. 

A flat field of temporal deceleration formed a few feet above his palms and caught the falling stone. Rolling over, he saw the giant beast lumbering back toward its scythe. "S'all gone bleedin' arseways, hasn't it?" he muttered to himself. A few pokes from his stun rounds and then that massive red mollywhopping from Marlene, and the fecker was back up and on the go. Farrin needed to take the offense, a serious offense, but any move from this thing sent him flying. 

Then he heard it—the battle cries of the heroes outside as they entered the half-ruined police station-made club. A woman in red rushed over and offered her hand. A bloody Valkyrie, for all he could tell. He hadn't recognized yet many of Japan's top heroes aside from the few he really studied, but the woman exuded confidence, anger, and care in equal measure. Telltale marks of a hero. 

"Aye, lass, I think so. Room jus' needs ta' stop spinnin' so much," he answered, half-jokingly. 

That's when the litter of marching band kittens came about. The kitty brigade charged up the boy's inner battery, warded away three days' worth of taxed stamina, and the damage he suffered against the monstrosity as well. It wasn't entirely gone, but it diminished greatly. 

"Oh yeah, I can certainly do somethin' like this," Farrin followed up, a smirk growing across his face. 

He had been exhausted the entire fight, but the lad was strong-- like incredibly and deceptively strong for his size. The crackle of emerald power encircled his body as time turned up, full acceleration. Yup, it was time to take the offensive. 

"Le's see yuh' get back up from this!" He shouted

Farrin leaped above the beast and formed a field around a foot-sized patch of air. The field swiftly dissipated, but the effects remained for a split second. At that time, the air, which was brought to near-stillness, acted like a solid he could kick off right toward the back of the monster's head. The emerald sparks concentrated around Farrin's leg, and he delivered a kick with force enough to crumble a small building. Knocking it forward would throw it right into the line of fire of Marlene, Zen, and the other heroes.

"... I'm... alright..."

Marlene felt dizzy after releasing all that energy, which toppled the scythe demon. At the same time, she felt the burning inside, unsatisfied. It wanted to blow up the whole station. Leave it a crater, consequences and civilian casualties be damned. It was this close to happening, too. The realization hit Marlene like a truck. She could have killed a whole lot of people, there... 'How does Zen live with this thing... inside...' - she thought, looking over herself, putting a hand over where the burning was felt.

Zen was still nearby, probably, having shrugged most of the stress like an uncaring metal glacier. 

She knew the feeling all too well. Not ever being winded, distressed, or afraid. Not feeling any of the emotions she had right now. It was one hell of a joyride, so far. 

The fight was over, though. Actual, registered and certified heroes showed up to take over. They certainly sounded like them, brazen, brash, and loud, and calling each other silly names. The cats were lovely though. Marlene realized she had not petted a cat before. And never felt it like this. A cat was warm, cute, and very soft. She smiled, absentmindedly petting a black cat in front of her.

"I wonder if I can keep this one..."

The call to arms from the newly-arrived heroes made the quiet joy from her face disappear, replaced by a frown. She felt the heat inside of her chest rise again. This time, she did not let it out as a red burst of destructive power from her mouth. Instead, Marlene cracked her knuckles.

"Alright. Zen, help me out with this."


And so Marlene joined in on the beating up of the scytheless demon.

✧ THE NIGHTMARE COMETH ✧

The odds had been stacked against the students from the beginning. Outnumbered and some with their powers shuffled around, there was no way anyone expected them to beat, let alone survive the nightmare.

But they did.

Proving their worth in combat, risking it all to save not just the kidnapped civilians, but Tokyo at large, Farrin and Marlene came together to send the Boss of the Purple Madness packing all at once. Farrin's attack landed without issue and it only made the monster more vulnerable to any follow-up techniques the others had. Once the dust settled the one-eyed, one horned, giant, purple people eater was gone and in its place there was an unconscious, scrawny man no older than the students he had fought. ''Unfortunately young lady, that one is just a manifestation of my quirk, but I can recommend you some good cat shelters!'' Captain Charisma gave Marlene a thumbs up while he picked the villain boss up by the collar of his suit. ''That was a righteous performance you put on, to be young again.'' Captain Charisma mused, taking the time to praise the students on their accomplishment while Apparel secured the hostages.

''Did ya get the big bastard?'' Apparel asked, coming back out of the basement.

''All done here, these young heroes made short work of that scoundrel. How are the civilians?''

''There's 44 of 'em, Ah think that's all of 'em accounted for.'' If the students wanted to stay and help with the clean up they were free to do so, but Apparel wasn't going to hold them against their will either. ''Just ta warn ya, it's a crazy scene down there. Some of the people that were kidnapped are students too.'' Meaning, some of their friends could be among them.

The basement itself had an eerie air to it. Civilians had been shoved into holding cells while the hallway floor and walls was painted with a green light mural, resembling the green light that had put everyone to sleep at the start of the Dream World disaster. At the end of the hallway, there was a single sacrificial altar that had yet to be used. ''They're asleep an' they might stay that way for a while until Starlin' Soul wakes them up. Ah figure the least we can do is make sure they wake up somewhere nicer than this.''

If either of the students stayed to help out, they would learn that among the kidnapped were plenty of students. Freja Helt being one of them.

With all the villains of the Purple Madness captured and the civilians accounted for everything slowly began to wind down. The nightmare wasn't over yet, but Farrin, Marlene and Zenkai had scored a massive win for hero society here today.

''Ya must be exhausted so Ah won't keep ya! Get some rest, ya earned it. Ah'll reach out later ta ya all later an' get a more detailed report.'' Apparel grinned, leaving them with a few parting words. ''Oh! An' if Ah got my quirk back next time, don't be scared when Ah've grown hella devil horns! Normally Ah have mutant features!''

Pure Purple Madness

TL;DR:
The Boss of the Purple Madness is defeated and captured alongside his underlings. The civilians are all accounted for too. Apparel tells the students she's going to ask for a more detailed report later, but tells them to focus on resting first. Victory for the heroes! The End!

OOC: Welcome to Dream World Part 2! First of all thank you for signing up!! I'm so excited to tell this story with you all! Remember you have to post at least ONCE per round, but you can skip one round if you have to. A second skip will result in no tokens being given. There are going to be 8 - 10 rounds total and I will announce when we have reached the halfway point, as well as when we're nearing the end in our designated Dream World discord channel.

Remember to include a TL;DR at the end of your post! <3

Additionally, if you want to plan a cool character moment ahead of time, like making a heroic sacrifice or setting up a team attack, but want to keep it a surprise to the other people in the thread until it happens, feel free to sneak into my DMs so we can plan out the details! This is not mandatory, but I want to make sure every character shines and looks their best during this thread!

This thread has concluded! Make sure to turn it in before the end of the season.

here was something profoundly wrong with this. No, not the nightmare that continued to consume their waking world, but something about this hero, Apparel. Now that Farrin had a moment to breathe and think, he felt a knot form in his stomach. The thugs were down and out, the pro heroes restraining them, yet Farrin's gaze lingered on this woman. This was backwards. 

"Eh, whatever," he shrugged, turning to his peers. "I'm headin' down there ta' help out," he let them know before making for the stairwell. 

Some people just had that odd familiarity about them. Farrin felt it from Zen when they first met too, like he already knew the lad, or now in this case lass, even though their paths certainly hadn't crossed. Not in this time anyway. Eventually, you just had to accept you didn't have all the answers, but in one time or another, he had known this woman... even if their ages were swapped between here and there.

Downstairs delivered on the "crazy scene." Apparel mentioned. Full cult vibes. Odium in all respects, like the place was haunted by miasmic evil. It was enough to choke on. 

"Freja!" Farrin called out on catching sight of his friend. The time turner sprinted over to her side, but it was clear she was still caught in whatever the hell this all was. "Feckin' hell, c'mon, time ta' wake on up." He knew it wasn't that simple. Nobody was waking up yet. Not that Farrin knew of, at least. Not until Apparel mentioned Starling Soul. 

"We need ta' get 'em ta' her, asap."

He was speaking for the entirety of the group, but especially for his friend. She needed to become a hero, even without a quirk. To show the world it could be done. That was a worthy goal, and one he wouldn't let her fail.
