Previous Chapter Next ChapterCoast of America
"Alright, that's everything!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she threw the last crate of supplies into the boat taht she had managed to find on the coast of America leading out to the Atlantic Ocean.
Eclipse just watched her load the boat with an uneasy expression. "Dads, are you sure you want yo do this? This is illegal in so many levels."
"Look, everyone else is either wallowing or drinking their problems away. I'm the only one trying to do something to get my brother back." She jumped into the boat and leaned on the railing. "I'm going, Treble needs my help. I'm supposed to be the element of loyalty, and I'm loyal to Treble. You can stay if you want to, but there's no way you can stop me."
"Figured I'd find you two out here." Rainbow and Eclipse turned to see X standing there with Synthesia behind him. His face was still covered by the shadow of his fedora, his crimsion eyes piercing into their souls. "You take that boat even a few miles towards that prison and you'll either be at war with the biggest crime organisation on the planet or be blown right out of the water." He warned in a dark tone.
"Why should I listen to you? You tried to kidnap me and the girls on several occasions and we're going to let them rape us! Not to mention the amount of times you tried to kill Treble!" Rainbow exclaimed as she jumped over the railimg and began walking up to X with a glare. "Go on, give me one good reason why I should listen to you of all people."
"Rainbow Dash, he's telling the truth." Synthesia reassured Rainbow by walkimg in front of X and placing a hand in her shoulder. "Look, I want nothing more than to lead a full scale assault on that island to get my don back, but it's impossible, there's too many dangerous outcomes. The only good one is that Treble is fee and everything is alright...but that won't happen." She placed both hands of Rainbows shoulders and looked at her with pleading eyes. "Please.,.dont try to save him, we can't do anything or we'll end up dead."
Rainbow just stared at Synthesia with disgust and anger. "How can you say that?! How can you stand next to this guy and tell me not to try and save someone important to me, to you, to everyone?!"
"Dash, calm down." Eclipse said softly as he walked up behind Rainbow and grabbed her hand.
"There is no chance of you surging this Rainbow Dash, there's nothing we can do." X affirmed while staying a distance away from the rainbow haired girl that would have punched him if he was close enough.
"But we have to do something! We can't just...we can't just...just..." Rainbow began to slur her words as she began to fall unconscious. Eclipse caught her in his arms before pulling a needle out of Rainbows back that used to be full of sedative.
"I'll get her home so she can rest and cool down, you guys mind helping me pack all these supplies back into my car?" Eclipse asked as he lay Rainbow down in the back seat of his car while wrapping a blanket around her. Synthesia and X nodded and began placing the small crates back into the car from the boat. As Eclipse passed X he stopped and whispered. "If Rainbow and Synthesia weren't here, I'd have blown your head off by now, you know that right?"
"I know, I'm surprised you haven't already. I have no further plans for you or your friends, so I'll just leave you all alone...for now."
Two days later, at the prison
Treble just say with has back against one if the walls of his cell as he carved another mark onto the counter he had made, showing how long he was in the cell for. Solid and Mist just watched him with interest, none of the inmates they had met were ever this quiet for so long before. They had tried many times to get Treble to say anything, but he had remained silent, deep in thought with the shadows covering his face, the only things visible were his dull eyes, the crimsion fading away as his hope grew thinner and thinner. 'They'll come for me...they'll help me...' He kept repeating again and again in his mind. 'They'll get me out of here..,Sunset and I will be happy...ill kill Electro...our baby will be born...everything...will...go...back...to...normal...'
Little I'd he know, while he was trapped, Electro was the one that was by Sunsets side as she cried. He would work his way up to win her heart, but he knew that she would never betray Treble...at least...if she still thought he was alive that is.
Treble just sighed and closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep on the cold hard floor. Realising that it was a bad idea he got onto the cell bed and threw the covers over himself.
"Damnit, Electro has gone too far this time." Mist said as he punched the wall. "Putting criminals like us away? I can understand that. A guy who seems so pure of heart? That is not ok!"
Solid shook his head and took a puff of his cigarette. "Quiet down Mist and let the kid sleep. It'll take time for him to adjust so keep your mouth shut."
Mist groaned and hit the wall one more time before sitting on his bed and looking at Treble with worry. "This cannot be good for his mental stability I'll tell you that...if he spends too much time in there he'll eventually snap. He's already marking the walls, he must be staring to lose hope..."
"I know, I said quiet down and let him get his rest, he won't be able to sleep,with us talking like this."
Treble ignored the two, shutting out everything around him. He had tried to enter the dreamscape like he did with Sunset back when they thought Adagio was dead, but she never went in with him. As he slept, he began to have a dream, a very, very strange dream.
He saw a red diamond slowly turning in a black abyss, it's red glow seeming it be filled with hate. He saw a silhouette behind it, with hair matching his style, but of unknown colour. When the figure grabbed the diamond its eyes glowed crimsion before the dream faded and Treble fell into a dreamless sleep.
