Garret climbed the stairs to the 11th floor, out of breath he raced over to Ako and Tansy, shouting. "Ako!! Tansy!!" He crouched next to them, hands on his knees he looked up at them. "Did you guys meet our little-" He stopped mid-sentence as he heard Charles' voice loud and clear in his ears. He stared into the open door at the darkness.

"Polite warning: Please hold on tightly." A-0079 leaps over the guard rail and plumets toward the bottom of the stairwell. Just before it lands, it's jets ignite to slow their fall. It hits the ground with a clang, then proceeds to run at an inhuman speed down the corridor.
It comes to a spark inducing halt as he stops right behind Tansy, Ako and Garret. It drops to a knee to allow Annie to get off. A few beeps and a click come from inside it's chasis. "Severe warning: high concentration of F-particles present within the foundry. Alert: Charles Ray has activited the F-series security drones. Extreme caution advised."

Ako raises the cannon in answer to Garret's question. "Yeah, we met it. It should be coming with Annie now." Sure enough the two appeared soon after he made his prediction.
Something the robot said bothered him. "What are F-particles?"

"Yes yes." He said quickly, he wasn't exactly second guessing it now, everything felt like a blur.. "Do you remember which direction you were going?" Elliot paused as he looked at the surrounding area again.. "Oh.." He mumbled as he noticed how many streets they were near, "Well then.."

Tansy staired into the darkness. She smiled somewhat as she looked towards the others. "Anyone got a light?" She asked softly as she began to walk into the darkness.
"Uhh..." She paused."I came from that way." She pointed to her left. "I'm pretty sure anyways." She bit onto her bottom lip and looked around. She was sure that was the way she had come from... And she didn't remeber making to any turns... If she could just think back....

A-0079 stands and looks to Ako, "Information relay: Princess Gidget discovered the existence of F-particles during the construction of the F-series security drones. Charles Ray's power is to produce and manipulate what she has designated as "Fear Particles." The particles multiply rapidly and manifest themselves into an individuals worst fears. The heat and pressure that occurs when his power is used are in fact F-particles. The F-drones work in tandem with his power as support, like a relay antenna, allowing him to cover a larger area with F-particles."

Tansy paused just a few feet inside the room, at the edge of the light. Her white wings were the only thing of her that could been seen clearly. "So in other words, he just got a hellva lot stronger." Tansy frowned. "Great. I hope you all can come to grips with your worst fears, or else this is going to be more painful then we first though. But no matter what, we will save Gidget. I'm noit leaving here without her." She looked forwards oncemore. She still couldn't see well, but her eyes wer already starting to make the adjustment to the light. She turned back to the room and plunged into the darkness.

Within the darkness Tansy can see a single figure. It is dark, yet it stands out amongst the pitch black behind it. It opens it's arms and whispers in her mind. The voice is dark and terrible, nothing that would ever be heard on this plane of existence.
"Have you decided to come back?"

Tasny rasied a single brow. "Come back?" She paused for a few seconds. "I'm pretty sure I just got here." She laughed softly. "Sorry Charles. Keeping me in darkness isn't going towork. I've got my team behind me." She smiled brightly.

The figure tilts it's head curiously, "Team...there is only you and I here." The figure slowly raises it's fragile hand to point behind her, pointing to nothing, to darkness. "Why did you call me Charles? Don't you remember me? I brought you here only a few months ago."Soon there is only his voice that is heard, all else is silent.
Outside of the foundry the others can hear Tansy speaking, but the conversation is only going in one direction. A-0079's speaker clicks. This time, though, it is not his monotone static voice. It is quiet, weak, and struggling.
"You can't give up...if you surrender you'll die."
There is a loud buzz then another click, "Informative statement: Princess Gidget no longer has the means to force her will. She is now silent."

Tansy felt her level of confusion rise. "Wait? What?" She stopped compeletly and looked around her. She could see anyone, but that didn't mean the others weren't there. She turned back to where the voice had come from. "If you're not charles... Then who are you?"

"You poor confused child. Coming back to life must have been a terrible strain. What with having to hide yourself from everyone...from your sister. But there's no need to worry about that anymore."
The figure disappears in the blink of an eye, only to be right at her toes in the next blink. She can now see the figure for what it is. It is as tall as she is, and adorned in a grand black cloak with a hood covering it's face. The fragile and bony hands of the thing slowly brings it's hand to the brim of the hood, "Soon we will be one again." The hood is pulled down slowly. The creatures feature's match that of Tansy, like she is looking into a mirror. That is until it's flesh begins to rot, the lips pulling back to reveal decayed and blackened teeth. It's hair falls out leaving only minuscule strands behind. It's eyes burst into flames as black and heavily molted wings burst from behind it. The flames subside and the creature speaks in it's whispers, this time hinting of Tansy's angelic voice, "I am that which you must embrace, Death."

((Have I ever mentioned how AWESOME you are? Lol.))
Tansy's eyes widened as she watched herself rot away into almost nothing. She gasped as she stumbled backwardssomewhat at the site. She paused and shook her head. It wasn't real. "No... You're not real....You're not real..." She chanted softly to herself until she clamed her nerves. "It won't be that easy to scare me." She pushed off the ground and flew into the air. "Come on out Charles. I'm tried of your games!" She hovered in the air.

After hearing what the robot had to say, Ako followed Tansy into the dark room. The darkness was frightening enough to him, but not for the lack of light. What it might conceal is what really got to Ako, the things that went bump in the dark. He started charging up the cannon, ready to fire it at the first thing he saw.
What if that thing is Gidget? A voice tickled in the back of his mind. Ako shook his head to try and clear the thought, but it hung on. It wasn't the thought of his friends being hurt that truly scared, him, it was the thought of being helpless, or worse, being the one causing them pain.
"Gidget? Where are you?" He asked the darkness, hoping she was still able to answer. Maybe if he had an idea where she was, he could avoid her when something attacked.

(( 3nodding ))
The demon disappears again with the beat of it's wings. It reappears in front of her, keeping time with her wing beats. It gently wraps it takes Tansy's hand gently and places it against it's dead flesh. A centipede crawls out from it's nostril and crawls along her hand before skittering back into the cloak. The touch of the creature is cold and dry. It coos to her softly, "Do not be afraid child. The more you fight it the harder it will be to let go once you have taken your position. I am what your future holds for you. You are the next Angel of Death. Wouldn't you want to comfort people as they pass on from their old lives into the next? To hold a crying child with these HANDS!"
The face becomes twisted as the bone shift into a maddened sneer. It reaches it's rotten hands toward Tansy's neck, shouting over and over again, each time overlapping the last, "You are the immortal child of Samael! You are death!"
Ako hears crying coming from his left. It is very familiar, although he had never actually heard her cry before. Gidget whimpers, "Ako...? Ako, help me...I can't see anything. I can't move. AH! What've they done to me?!"
