“Being…brought to near death a lot…doesn’t make it…any easier to deal with! Your…lucky your…a demon…” David said, shambling faster.

David nodded"You don't need to worry about that. For now, head into the city. We'll let you know when you're friend is capable of returning," A soldier said in response.
"Yeah..." Belial said as the gate to the city slowly began to open, making the ground around them violently rumble.David nodded
“Thank you.” he said gratefully to the soldiers.
He turned to Belial
“well now that Kiara going to get treated we can handle your business! Let’s go find Rory!” David said. He wasn’t sure what would happen when they found Rory, but knew that it was important to Belial.
“I wonder…if she’s changed…from the last time we spoke. Does she…still want to destroy everything?” David thought to himself. If she still planned on destroying the world, he was unsure what to do.
(You've had Rory murder kids, I expect the worst lol)(What kind of monster do you guys take me for lol.)
"Don't ask me," Belial responded, shrugging.“How did all these people get here?”David said, somewhat taken aback by the amount of people present.
“with how many hazards are in the water, it seems like only the toughest dreamers would be able to actually make this journey.”
Eventually, approximately 3 months later, the lava rose. During this time, the lot of them had taken the opportunity and waiting period as a chance to grow stronger by training and sparring with each other. The lava touched and recolored the crystal, signifying it was their cue to go ahead and head to Muspelheim.The lot of them all battled against the clones that Verndari had created of them. It appeared as though they were naturally getting stronger, allowing them to gain an edge, however small, over their clones. However, they were all holding off on unleashing their full power again just in case the clones could also utilize their full power as well. Instead, Yamato and Zonolo fought through their clones, inching their way toward Verndari.
"Mira! Boros! Cover us!" Zonolo said, inching his way closer alongside Yamato.
Mira and Boros nodded, exerting more power to overwhelm the clones more. Once they were close enough, Verndari attempted to roar and blow them back, but Yamato had transformed once more, leaping onto Zonolo's hand as he threw her toward Verndari before being blown back: a fastball special. The hybrid Yamato used her kanabo, launching a powerful swing as she went through the guardian. Verndari roared in pain, and as he was stunned, Mira and Boros exerted their full power, blitzing their duplicates. Zonolo then lept up toward Verndari, igniting his body as he had against Yamato and unleashing a powerful blast of heat that combusted on it to keep it stunned. As this happened, Yamato swung her kanabo once more, black and red lightning surrounding it as she slammed it down on Verndari. The guardian was shattered into pieces, and Yamato reverted to normal.
Boros turned his eye, charging up a powerful blast of energy. Verndari was reforming.
"COLLAPSING STAR ROAR CANNON!" Boros said, firing a massive blast that incinerated the rocks Verndari was using to regenerate. The Summoning Dream then reverted to his regular state.
"Alright, let's keep moving then..." Zonolo said, his flaming tattoos disappearing.
The crew then walked onward, into the area the guardian of the door was preventing them from entering. As they entered the cavernous area, they noticed something along the ground: lava. They then headed in the direction of where the lava was flowing from. There, they saw a glowing blue crystal chained in the center of the cave.
"There's the gateway to Muspelheim," Mira said.
"So, uh, how do we use it to make it there?" Zonolo asked.
"The lava levels rise, and reach the crystal...." Mira explained, "When that happens, the crystal glows red and gives the lava an effect similar to the water that took us to Hvolfi. Raising the lava levels artificially won't accelerate the process, as the lava is enchanted to respond to the crystal."
"Interesting..." Zonolo said, "So now we wait. Then, we're off to Muspelheim..."
((Lmao))(Midas you just had to jinx it with not expecting to see anything interesting. Yah just HAD to make me do it.)
Suddenly, someone screamed out. "****, let me go! I'm completely fine!" One of those soldiers was tying up a civilian. "Sorry sir, standard procedure. You'll get your treatment." The man continued to scream and flail around, punching the soldier in his armored face only to have his hand shatter on impact.
"This is what we always tell em'..." The man screamed out in pain as the soldier proceeded to knock him out with a mere slap, knocking out a few teeth. "These ******* plagues man." The soldier said, carrying the man off.
"Dude, I slapped him. Wasn't even trying to hurt him." The soldier said, chuckling a bit. "Not like it wasn't warranted. I was assaulted, guy tried to punch me!"((Lmao))
David grimaced.
“Ay!” David said walking up to the soldiers
“i know you guys are trying to treat the virus, but you don’t gotta treat the man so harshly! I dont think knocking his teeth out was part of the ‘treatment’ he needed” David said, a bit pissed at what he had just witnessed.
“Yeah…after all the trouble it took to get here, I was expecting something…different.” David said, disappointment in his voice. They had gotten what they came their for, Kiara was getting treated, but David couldn’t help but be a bit disappointed that it wasn’t some kinda paradise. A hidden oasis In the chaos that was the dream world.Belial was also thinking a similar thing to King Tiger at the time. Belial didn't particularly care about good or evil unless it involved the people that he cared about, he never really did. But...
"Should I... care more?" Why should he have to care more? What even was the meaning of life? Everything was going to die anyway, you may as well save the people you care about.
"Yeah..." Belial said, reassuring himself. "I'm doing this because I care about Kiara, not for some sort of good or evil. I get stronger to protect my loved ones, and I fight to protect my loved ones. Whether it's good or not has nothing to do with me..." He thought.
"Just like when I tried to take that flower... Whether it's good or not isn't my problem." He thought once more as he and King Tiger explored the streets of Emerald City in search of Rory.
"City of Dreams my ass..." Belial said after they had walked around a while. It wasn't in total chaos, but it wasn't completely in order either. There wasn't any real paradise or whatever here, if anything, it was the average city that just happened to be way more advanced, but it didn't allow those advancements to be accessed by the general public, forcing the poor to fend for themselves.
"This place is a complete mess..."
