Emma stopped running. Kaok and Remus would see her now, standing behind the mirror; she was not entirely in the reflection, more in the in-between, the silver of glass itself. Her left arm hung useless at her side and her dress and skin were sliced to ribbons, but something in her eyes remained as strong as ever.
But she was scared.
Her right arm pressed against the surface in front of her as she looked for a way out. She was speaking, but Remus and Kaok would hear nothing, only see the movement of her lips.
I'm not dead! It's not me! Please, I'm not dead! I'M NOT DEAD!

"Somebody or something went to great lengths to make it seem like Emma is dead. Whoever it was, they wanted to throw us off the trail." Remus said and stood up.
The Imperator looked around, studying the room. His gaze never reached the mirror, however.

Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to california with an aching in my heart.
Kaok stood as well after a moment, ignoring the blood that she'd got on her knees when she'd knelt, and picked up and sheathed her sword. The thought of her friend lying on the floor dead, even when it was a fake, still bothered her... but the real Emma was in danger somewhere. Her eyes darted around the room as well, trying to pick up clues.
And then she saw the sort-of reflection of the Enchantress in the mirror. The brief flashes of someone in the metal shine of her sword... and now this? She stared at it momentarily, trying to discern if she was seeing things or not. It'd been known to happen.
"Remus." The Faun pointed at the image.Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.

Emma closed her eyes, willing herself to be seen with every fiber of her being. The image in the mirror was clearer now, and the terror in Emma's eyes was plain as day.
The clicking noises behind her kept growing louder, and she tried to raise her broken arm. A flash of white-hot pain jumped up her arm and she cried out in agony. She was getting more and more lightheaded by the minute, especially from the effort it took to try and get the Faun and Emperor to see her.

Remus turned to look at he mirror. "Holy s**t!"
The Imperator frantically looked over the mirror, trying to find a way to reach Emma.

She's not dead, but she looks hurt.
"Emma, can you hear us?" They couldn't pick up what she'd been saying, but maybe it was just a one-way sort of mirror sound-wise.Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Emma nodded frantically, pushing against the glass with every ounce of power she had left (which wasn't much). Her hand seemed to move through it as if through thick syrup, the tips of her fingers emerging on the other side.
She was looking more and more scared.
Something was coming up behind her. She knew it. But she had no chance of stopping it.

"How do you get through?"
But it didn't appear as though Emma was able to, so she decided to change her question.
"How do we get through?"Someone told me theres a girl out there

Remus decided to act, as it seemed like there wasn't much time to just ask questions. The Imperator reached forward, trying to grab a hold of Emma's hand. Remus didn't know if this was a good idea or not, but he wasn't about to let Emma be spirited away into whatever realm she was trapped in.

Emma made a valiant effort and succeeded in reaching entirely through the mirror and grasping Remus' hand tightly. He would feel her hand trembling within his.
Shadowy appendages reached out of the corners of the mirror, changing even as they were looked at. Claws, pincers, blades, tentacles, talons, all taking hold of Emma at once. She stifled a sob of defeat, looking at Remus with desperation.
They pulled her back. She was still clutching Remus' hand as she was dragged back into the depths of the mirror. Pulling him with her.

Kaok hoped desperately that she would not be left behind - sitting helplessly in a room whilst her love and her best friend fought of monsters inside a mirror was not on her agenda today.
She grabbed onto Remus' other arm as he was slowly pulled in.Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Remus pulled back with all his strength, but the monster was stronger. The Imperator found himself being pulled through the mirror. He grasped Kaok's arm tightly as she took it.
"Pull, Kaok! Pull!" Remus yelled, hoping their combined strength would be enough.

Emma's hand slipped from Remus grasp, but a clawed hand that had been digging into her shoulder grabbed Remus, pulling both him and Kaok through completely.
The enchantress had no time to scream before the blackness flowed over her entirely, pulling her back into darkness.

She had certainly tried before they were pulled in, but there wasn't enough friction on the ground with all of the blood. If it weren't for her firm grip on Remus' arm, she would have slipped and fallen.
But now they were through the mirror, and the thing had swallowed Emma. Kaok unsheathed her sword in nearly the blink of an eye, staring at the mass of black and ready to do battle - if it were tangible.Someone told me theres a girl out there

And here we go.
Gameplay:
Each player has 100 HP. Enemies, NPCs will have varying HP. Keep that in mind before you go attacking one of the main enemies.
Each player must keep a record of their HP OOC.
Battle
When confronted by an enemy, each player will roll 1 100 sided die.
If you win a battle, no HP is lost and the enemy will lose HP depending on your roll.
If you lose a battle, subtract your roll from that of the enemies. This will determine how much HP you lost.
For example:
Emma rolls a 67
George Bush rolls a 48
67
-48
=19
George Bush loses 19 HP.
If you lose all your HP,you are "knocked out"(As this is outside of Battledome) and you will not be able to fight for the next battle. If your HP falls below 20, you are injured. If it falls below 10, and you are in critical condition. Players in critical condition cannot fight and they must use a health item to get back in fighting condition.
When a character is revived after being "knocked out" they will start at 50 HP.
If all online party members get knocked out, the mission is a failure so take care of your team mates!
If a player rolls a 99 or 100, the enemy is automatically dead. (However, some enemies, such as vehicles, bosses and robots ignore this rule.)
If a player rolls a 2 or a 1, their attack fails and they lose 1 turn to attack.
Roll Modifiers
The condition you are in may affect how you roll.
Injured: -5
Critical Condition: Cannot roll until healed.
Fleeing a battle:
If you want to flee, post it OCC.
Roll 1 100 sided die. If you roll over a ten, then you have successfully fled the battle. If you fail to flee, you must wait until your next turn to try again.
There are no special attacks. There are no items. It's just you and the skills at your disposal.
The world will not end if you fail. Millions of lives are not at stake.
Only one life. Only Emma's life.
