Abyss sighed.

"You scientist types are always the same... Telepathy it is."

He walked toward her, putting a hand on her forehead.

"This might sting a little, kay?"
Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

"Wait!" Athena's sword flashed through the air and landed between Neo/Abyss's hand and Cath's forehead. "How do we know that you're not going to do anything strange to her mind?"

Abyss groaned.

"Devil help me, These morons don't understand that I wanna go back home and sleeeppp," he muttered.

She flinched slightly. As a scientist, she was fascinated by the process. As a resistance operative and enemy of the demons, she was less sure. She hoped she wouldn't regret this.

"My mind is destroyed enough as it is, Athena," Cath said with a laugh. "Abyss, do I have your word that this is safe and pretty much harmless?"

What if she reemerged a vegetable? She had a technological back up of all her memories hidden safely. Because Professor Caerthynna Elysium had all but written the book on brains. If she had the paper to actually write a book, of course. But then again, Abyss had stood against the demons earlier... perhaps there was a reason why they weren't all dead yet. She closed her eyes, and waited. She was still nervous.

"I'm not the demon of mind manipulation or the demon of forgetfulness. I'm the demon of fire and lightning. My telepathy isn't even strong enough to manipulate one memory, let alone destroy your mind. This is completely safe."

He reached out again.

Athena's sword hung there for a moment longer before returning. Athena maintained a death grip on her blade, Cath might have agreed, but she wasn't convinced that this was going to be safe, not at all. As much as she didn't want to hurt Neo, Abyss deserved to be cast into his own oblivion.

Her hand trembled as Neo/Abyss reached closer to Cath's forehead. She was tempted to stop the procedure again, but that would only make it worse.

Cath let go of all emotion, and waited. She could be patient when she wanted to be. After all, she had waited a decade to avenge Professor Kauri, and could wait even longer if she needed to. Her hands trembled slightly, curled into fists by her sides.

She swallowed. Making brief eye contact with Athena, she raised her eyebrows, and curled her lip into a smile. She was not used to smiling. Everything was quiet, and she closed her eyes.
It was never meant to be.

Athena gave a forced smile back. The grip on her sword tightened even more, until her knuckles turned white and her palms started sweating. She watched Neo/Abyss's hand get closer and closer...

The scenes flashed through. Blood. Death. Rebirth. The scenes all showed a battlefield, and a being rising from the piles of dead bodies. The being staggered up, and the demon left its body. Every scene showed the same thing, over and over again. 164 times in total.

Abyss took his hand off her forehead.

"Is that enough?"
Is it
wickedness?

weakness?

Cath looked at him and nodded. She lifted her bow, and notched an arrow. She would do it right here and now, pulling back the bow string, aiming right for the perfect artery, a poison for a painless death-

"Wait," She froze. "I want to talk to Neo first."

"... as you wish."

His eyes flickered back into a pale blue.

"Man, that was a weird experience! Eugh. Being possessed does NOT feel good!"

Some relief flooded through Cath, but she still held the arrow in position. "Do you know what's happening? What Abyss wants me to do?" She looked at him intently, and continued in a small voice. "I don't know if I can... even if it frees you."

Neo looked at her and grinned.

"You don't have to do anything if you don't want, Cath. I'm not forcing you. You're all grown up. You can make your own choices, can't you?"

"Then I don't care. I want Neo back."

Before she could think twice, she let the arrow go, and it buried itself in Neo's neck. The reaction in the room was instant. Four pairs of eyes looked at Neo, and then her. Cerberus padded over, bonking his nose on her leg.

She fell to her knees, watching Neo with concern. He would be dead in three minutes. Even though she knew Abyss wasn't lying, she was still terrified.

"Abyss," she said, calling out to the demon. "Are you working with the Dark Lady? Do you really want us all... dead?" She had to know why he had helped them.

"The dark lady? I don't know who that is. I am the only dark being I serve."

"And as for why I helped you? That sentimental sap I'm stuck inside was practically begging me to help you guys. He really cares."

"Your lives don't mean much to me, anyways."

Nox took Cath's instructions to heart. Once she was certain that Cath and Athena had everything under control she left the room to restock her supplies. She really only needed medical supplies, she was living off of scraps for the longest time. She tries to ignore the three people. It pained her to leave them behind, but Nox took comfort in the fact that they would be safe under the careful watch of Cath's medical bot.

She passes by one of the bathrooms and pauses. Slowly she enters and lifts down the collar of her shirt to inspect her chest. Despite feeling like the wound had ripped open yesterday, it appeared to be perfectly normal today. What had happened? She shakes her head, deciding that this was something she would have to think about later.

After restocking she makes her way back to the room, pausing by the doorway, but not actually entering the room. Based on what she was hearing, she should give them their space. She rests against the wall next to the doorway and tries to ignore them, as to not eavesdrop. It was difficult not to, she didn't trust Abyss, and she was certain Cath and Athena felt the same. But they could handle it, although it still made Nox feel better being able to be close... Just in case.

Athena didn't have time to squeeze her eyes shut before the arrow buried itself into Neo/Abyss's neck. And now that she had seen, she couldn't close her eyes or look away. She was frozen in place, the memories rushing back in a drowning cascade. The blood, the knife, the crying... And this time, it was all happening to Neo. She knew that technically, this was saving Neo. Abyss would be gone, and she would have Neo back. Technically, this was a good thing. But she just couldn't bring herself to believe it. Her brain no longer listened to logic, it was running purely on an extreme hodgepodge of emotions. Anger, guilt, sadness, confusion, worry all mixing together to form a tornado rampaging in her mind.

Abyss evaporated. That was really the best word for it. One minute he was there and the next he was gone, a shadowy smoke disappearing back to the Underlands.

"Neo? Are you there?" I missed you. Come back to us. Please don't tell me I made the worst decision of my life. But she could bring herself to say the rest; the words caught in her throat.

She became intensely aware of the colors of the wall, the hardness of the ground. All the little things ingraining themselves in her brain. The guilt, that would forever churn in her stomach. Neo's fingers twitched imperceptibly.

Neo lay there for a few seconds, not moving, not breathing, and by every regard dead.

Then he got up, gasping for breath. He quickly took a bottle out of a pocket and drank it.

"Lord almighty, it feels GREAT to have my own body for myself!"

He turned to Cath, grinning.

"I'm A-okay, Cath! No need to worry!"

Athena was ready to pass out. The emotions were still bubbling and boiling, barely calmed by the fact that Neo was alive. And back. That didn't seem to have registered in her brain, nothing was registering in her brain. She was rooted to the spot, staring with unseeing eyes at the scene playing out in front of her.
