"Calm yourselves. We cannot harm you here." says the black lion, who stands now, moving over to the group. Pride sits, staring intently at Escy. "My name is Glory. I am Pride's mind and will."
Explicit reaches out to touch Pride, who then roars at her, forcing her to back away.
"The darkness separated us. Pride and I were one, and then we were severed. I am his mind, and all that I command, he will do." Glory says, sitting beside Pride. "But there is something tugging at him. His dedication to you is fascinating. My own mind has been taken by him, yet the body still resists to some degree. I have to bring him to see you, or he will be difficult to control.
"So you're using me to give you full control over Pride? That's horrifying!" Explicit yells to the black lion, fury growing in her eyes.
Pride grins a bit at Glory's command, and Glory finishes their visit with a few final words. "And now he has been sated. Farewell, Explicit." The two of them head back off into the forest.
"Pride!" Explicit shouts to Pride, moving forward a few steps. Pride stops, and starts to turn his head to look back, but then moves forward, following Glory.

Escy smiles at Rad, and then takes a second to give him a hug. She pulls away and points her clawshot, trying to look cool. She continues to smile at Rad as the claw shoots out and attaches to a tree, pulling her away. Unfortunately, her splendor attempt fails and she ends up getting stuck in the vines hanging from the tree, sighing and blushing with embarasment as somepony comes to help her out.
(You know, assuming you guys aren't just going to leave me there. ._.)
Explicit leads the group back to the temple to find that resting on the steps are Pride and Glory, both still very much darkened. Pride rises first, his eyes steady on Explicit. Glory simply watches, as if observing.

*Rad keeps up* Whoa. Slow down! What do you mean I'm important?
"I mean, like, you're, erm..." Explicit says, fumbling with her words. "You're important to me. I mean to this thing we're doing. And me, and I mean it's not because I like you, I think there's-" Escy cuts herself off as she realizes she just said she likes Rad.

((Explicit, since I'm sure she meant that for me))
((Personal convo between the two, sorry Jenz!))
Explicit sits on the branch and pats the branch in front of her. "I think you're important. Or, like, if you're not important, I think I'm making you important. Does that make sense?" Escy asks, knowing she makes no sense at all because she doesn't even understand herself right now. Escy motions to the next tree over before clawshotting her way over, sitting on the branch of that tree, nearly falling off as she lands.

((Quite... But, hey, being unconscious is fun!))
(
)Explicit watches as Farsight floats around his body, which Nameless is attempting to pick up. She gives the un named pony a strange look before continuing. Somehow, he seems to be connected to all of this in ways neither of them can possibly understand right now. She shakes the last bit of tiredness off. It seems to be less fatiguing to go into her dreamer mode now.
Escy heads off towards the temple. "Whoever you are, I'll explain everything as best I can when we get back to the temple. Rad, Zappy, Jenzy, -" Explicit cuts herself off, glancing over to Nameless. "and Nameless, follow me back. We're almost half way through this."
Explicit has her staff follow and she equips her clawshot, using it to reach high up into a tree. She looks at Rad down below and beckons him up to her, watching as the party prepares and begins to follow below.

"We should go back to the temple." Escy says, gathering her staff and clawshot. She sighs, drooping as she waits from everyone else to gather their things for the trek back to the temple. She needed a minute to rest.

<Page 50. Makes me feel so good inside. And she didn't necessarily bleed, it was just a transition and an adjective. For example, if somebody is bleeding tears from their eyes, they're crying. It's just a way for us creative types to be dark without having dark intentions, even though it was intended for a dark use in this case.>
Explicit moves over to Rad and sits beside him, not really sure about what's happening anymore. She can only hope that this is some horrid dream she's going to wake up from. She can see a transparent Farsight floating around the area the circular barrier was once placed. She shrugs it off as being another nonsense thing in a world full of just that. She pats Rad's back.
"He wasn't real. The colt in your pictures is much older than a foal, and my Gael is, too. It's just a trick they pulled on us to make us stumble, and it worked. We need to stay focused, though. Pride is still out here, and they have him. Unlike what we just experienced, though, he's very real." Escy says, pressing herself against Rad, moreso from being tired than from a romantic attraction to him. Though, honestly, there are ample amounts of both right now.

(Just to clarifiy, he only spoke that one line, so the loud screeching didn't last that long. Also, I think it's adorable how completely oblivious Jenzy always is. I don't know if it's intended, but if it is, you're the best at pulling it off. Ever.)
Explicit rushes over to Farsight to check on him, seeing that he's pretty much blacked out. Escy turns, everything starting to go into a blur. New creatures, fighting her loved ones, being kept from her pet, a constant evil tugging, mental duress, physical strain, everypony rushing around inside her head -
In her head.
Cease. . .
And just like that, everything goes completely still. Explicits eyes turn black, two tiny dots rotating around each other where her iris should be - one blue, one red. She point her hoof at the two foals.
Purify. . .
Not corrupted? False creatures?
Decist. . .
And so the fake foals fall to the ground, curling into physical balls to match their black circling aura, and slowly turning to mist, floating away. Explicits eyes go from black to red, small lines of blood dripping from her eyes, which slowly turn to tears as her physical and mental manifestations re-align themselves. Everything is so chaotic when her mind goes blank, when she steps into her deep zone.
And then she opens her eyes.
Greeted by the faces of her best friend Caramel Glaze and her daughter Gael hovering over her, huge smiles on their faces. They begin to cheer, calling for the doctor, but Explicit's eyes close before she can see much more. All she can hear now is her daughter's voice.
"Keep fighting, Mommy!"
When she opens her eyes once more, she's back in the world before, inside of her dream, though she doesn't know it. She stands, and as she does, everything unpauses. All is the same as before, only now the foals have been reduced to small black crystal orbs, the size of marbles.

(Yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes, no, no, yes. Lets continue. )
Explicit is knocked back as Zappy randomly pops out of nowhere, leaving a torn spot in her vest where her pocket once was. She had forgotten about the quill, and didn't realize the translocator would teleport ponies directly on top of it. That could have been bad.
Two of the beams head towards Artereyu and Veinix, but they hit the dark energy wall, causing it to flicker on and off. The two foals seem to flicker as well, having to use up most of their energy to hold the wall intact to protect the sibling monsters. The next two beams strike at Gael and Spark themselves, causing a direct impact. Gael cannot hold the barrier any longer and she releases it. She seems remarkably weakened, whereas Spark quickly moves to protect her.
A sharp screech emerges from Spark's mouth, so high pitched only the strongest of sense can decipher it. ["uoy lliw terger taht maerd reklaw"]
Spark Seems to be charging an attack, and several small balls of dark energy form and move to rotate around his head. Each pulses every so often.

"Insect." Artereyu says aloud as he sees the sudden mole claw looking thing burst from the ground. He emits his darkness again, extending the circle that the foals are protecting rather than knocking it back into the smaller circle.
Veinix turns to watch and makes a low, almost growling sound. "She's becoming strong. Those around her are becoming stronger because of it. We should end them now." she says, noticing the strange pony in armor that's causing the very essence of the area to tilt.
"You know we cannot. It would be displeased." Artereyu responds as he flies away with his sister.
Explicit keeps her eyes on Gael now, wondering how she can overcome the challenge set before her without harming Gael.

Rogue Sparks follows Rad's movement and then pulls dark, misty hands around him, but fails to grab him. The leocorns seem much more on guard now that somebody has managed to get past both them and the foals.
"How cute." Artereyu spins once, and a horrifying aura spills from the ends of its organic pipes, forcing Rad away.
Veinix watches as the pegasus is thrown back with the rest of the group, but lands unharmed. "Order, order, order, young pegasus. A time and place for everything. Pride, Glory, with us."
Pride and the other leocorn, apparently named Glory, follows after the two unknown creatures, who jet off into the air and fly overhead. Explicit turns to watch them fly overhead, and she rushes after them, finding herself stopped by a black barrier. She turns again to see Gael is holding the barrier in place, and Sparks is floating protectively in front of her.
(How exactly does one float protectively?)

"Atrocities?" Artereyu asks in astonishment.
Veinix quickly picks up after her brother. "Can't you see they're far more beautiful now than ever?"
"Besides, we didn't make them. We just control them." Artereyu says with a cocky laugh.
Explicit gets up and wipes the tears out of her face. She picks up her staff and rushes towards the two in the back. Pride and the other Leocorn move closer slightly, as if defending the two. However, their efforts were not needed, as Gael forces a black aura into Explicit that knocks her away. Clearly there's no getting to the others without somehow dealing with them first.
"Gael. . ." Escy says very low. For years she's taken care of Gael, her adopted daughter. She's fought against giants, corrupt creatures from whatever world that hosts them and she's even overcome her own fears. In the end, though, it seems the ones she holds the closest to her heart are the things she fears most...
"Gael, I'm sorry." she says simply as she throws down her staff and clawshot. "I know you'd want me to do this, for the better, but I can't bring myself to do it." her voice sinks even lower. "I'm too afraid."

Explicit steps forward hesitantly. She reaches out with a hoof. "Gael..?" and she immediately retracts herself as Gael and Spark open their eyes, filled with blackness, seemingly dripping and evaporating at the same time. Her heart fills with terror.
"Ah, the flies are here, dear sister." Artereyu says from the distance.
Veinix laughs aloud, a shrill sound erupting from her non-existent throat. "Just in time, dear brother, I was beginning to grow weary without a meal."
"Sister, you know we can't eat them." Artereyu responds plainly.
Veinix simply lets out a loud "Hmph!".
Explicit begins to step towards Gael again. Gael begins to float down to her as well. Explicit presses her hoof against Gael's head, and then cries. "I knew it. I didn't want to know it, but I did. Why would they do something so cruel. . ." Escy falls to the ground, continuing to cry. "She's empty. Pride is empty. They took my family..."

The clearing is full of strange creatures. Two in the far distance, along the other edge of the forest. Two in front of them, and two more floating seemingly on nothing.
The two in the far distance were the most hideous of the group. Both were identical, aside from one being blue and the other being red. What looked like fleshy pipes, shaped like a cross with a beating heart dead in the center of them. Atop the cross shape was a decayed looking head. Those two seem to be the leaders, and their aura is almost enough to choke you.
The two in front of them, standing tall and proud, almost as if guarding the two before, are large leocorns. The one on the left is easily recognizable as Pride, aside from the black, soulless eyes. The other leocorn is an identical twin, except completely black.
The two orbs floating before the party are hard to make out at first, but when everybody realizes that they're foals, the wave of darkness over the group seems to intensify. The two foals before the group are Gaelic Karkadann and Rogue Spark, Explicit's daughter and Rad's son.

"I see a clearing ahead. I think the voices are coming from there." Explicit shouts to to the party, waiting for them to start that way before she goes herself. She's quickly growing uncomfortable with the feeling in her gut. Whatever is in that clearing, it feels like it's hurting her just by existing.

Explicit blinks and looks around, searching for the source of the voices. "They sound evil, almost parasitic. I have a bad taste on my tongue after hearing their voices." she looks around, but to no avail.

Two voices can be heard throughout forest, seemingly from nowhere.
"Oooh, what's this Veinix? Some flies, caught in our webs of death?"comes a shadowy male voice, seemingly from everywhere.
Another voice followed shortly after, this one female. "Of course, Artereyu, flies fall into our trap every day."
"Ah, but these flies have a spider amongst them." Came the voice of the one referred to as Artereyu.
A short hissing laughter, followed by the one called Veinix speaking. "Spiders are not friends with flies, brother."
"And yet the weaver of dreams guides the flies into the web." Artereyu speaks.
A final, short linen from Veinix. "But not into her own of self-convinced lies, but our web of decay."

"I can feel them, Rad. It's like I know them, but I don't know who they are. They won't get out of my head, the feelings won't go away." she says, wiping the tears away. "We have to beat them. I want them to go away."
Explicit slowly regains her composure, getting up as the others near, and continuing down the path, this time making sure to stay close to Rad. She feels more calm near the pegasus for whatever reason.
(I'm gonna roll a d6 to see how many smaller fights we're going to have until the boss fight, and then I'm taking 1 away for the fight we just finished.
