Power in Possibilities :167:

You frowned, glancing to Roby. "Banquet?" You really hoped there wasn't Kabuki spinning around the room this time.

The kid nodded, spinning the cup around. "Yup! Pre-tournament festivities include dining and delights. A banquet and firework's show. And you're invited of course."

You nodded, watching as the kid glanced up to the sky. Roby looked panicked. You couldn't help but chuckle at his shocked face.

"Shoot! I have to go finalize preparations. The banquet starts at dusk, the large building with the symbol of the Source Dragon of Life above the entrance is for your team. Good luck have fun, okay byeeee!!" He shouted, practically running away.

His uncle, seemed less enthusiastic, just dragging his feet as he followed behind the boy.

"Ah, I should be off too then. It was lovely to make your acquaintance Ninja, and wonderful to see you both again, Arin and Lloyd." Zant-Tanz bowed, waving as he turned to leave.

Spinning around you found the target. The building that was going to house you for however long this tournament was.

Of course, it was hidden behind a street blocked by crates and other various stalls. Nothing could be straight forward, could it?

Finally entering, you let your eyes adjust to the dim light. Sleeping mats were scattered along the floor, a sign pointing to a kitchen and bathroom next to the stairs. There was even a larger mat for Riyu.

On every mat, was a new Gi for all of you. Fancy embellishments and icons were elaborately scattered all over. Picking it up, you hummed. At least they got the color right. You had slowly shifted to a more purple shade of mauve ever since Sora joined, since her powers were much more pink than your own. And you definitely didn't want to be the Fuchsia Ninja. Ew.

You watched as everyone set their meager belongings down, and got settled. You took the short break to hurry up to the bathroom in case there was only one shower. (Though you could very quickly see there was 3 seperate rooms, thank the Master.)

Heading in, you stripped down quickly, hanging the new gi on the doorknob. Stepping in, you turned on the water, which quickly reached the right temperature.

Letting the water cascade down your back, you sighed. When was the last time you had a hot shower during a mission?

Shutting your eyes as shampoo rinsed onto your face, you felt the binds around your mind pull once more.

Well shit.

A purple fog surrounded your mind, pulling you into a vision.

"Y/n-" someone shouted, grabbing your shoulder tight.

Spinning around, you grabbed their face, pushing against it.

Lloyd stared back at you. His hair was shorter, eyes less vibrant. Instead of green, he wore a golden gi. He looked like the day you first met him. "Y/-" Before he could speak, your powers started to warp his face, stretching and tearing his skin. Black goo began to seep from the gaps in his flesh flowing down his throat.

He only stared back at you, his entire body trembling.

No.

You weren't going to do this again. You had survived, had beaten the Phantasm Cave.

If that happened you would save him.

Willing the vision.. or memory, away, you stared out at the void.
