Safety in numbers #9

It was as if the ocean itself was decaying before their very eyes. There were many sharp and plastic items floating amongst the murky water. Many of the ocean creatures had vanished from view, and the few that remained were twisted and mutated into horrible creatures. But that wasn’t the worst of it. A Black and oily substance dripped from the pillars and into the sea, draining the colors and life from anything it touches. And it was steadily growing closer to them, threatening the safety of their platform.

“I don’t like the looks of that stuff.”

Bass let out a hiss as his tail instinctively wrapped around Rosie. Despite never seeing something like this before, he was feeling an odd sense of familiarity about the sludge in the water and the vibe of the corrupted Mindscape.

“I..think we should probably go somewhere else..”

Rosie whispered as she gripped onto Bass’s tail. She was trying so hard to remain calm- but it didn’t seem to be working as she could feel the shakiness in her legs and arms.

Balan And Lance exchanged glances with each other. It was Obvious that this Mindscape has grown to be too dangerous for Rosie to be here. But the thought of Fiona still being trapped inside somewhere made the maestro and Negati master linger. A Solution had popped into Lance's mind, but he felt reluctant to share it. With a Quiet sigh he made his suggestion.

“Balan, Since I am unable to Leave these two By themselves, I’ll take them somewhere safer, The next stage. You should be free to find Fiona Quickly and meet us there with just you.”

“Are You sure about this?”

Balan said as he was rather hesitant to leave Lance alone with Rosie and Bass again. A cold feeling slipped through his spine as he recalled in his mind what happened the last time they were separated. He didn’t want to place the child in any more unnecessary danger and he wasn’t positive Lance could protect her from this threat.

“It’s a much better plan than waiting for that sludge to get to us.”

Bass interjected into the conversation and motioned with his head at the ever approaching slime heading their way. Balan let out a nervous sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair and down the back of his neck.

“Alright, but try to be careful as well.”

Balan gave a defeat sigh as he agreed to go and search for Fiona. Lance gave a court nod before using his tendrils to place Rosie onto Bass’s Back. He didn’t want to leave the fate of The Mindscaper to Balan; But now wasn’t the time to be possessive.

Deep down Lance felt solely responsible for the states of one's Mindscape inside Wonderworld. Balan was good with assisting with figuring out how to deal with their problems, while he was good in giving a sense of comfort amongst the storms of life.

Personally, if it were up to him he would let them stay inside the Wonderworld forever.. but that’s not his place. He may not always get along with Balan, but he knew that it was both of their purposes to help people get on a better path in life. He knew he could at least trust Balan with getting Fiona To safety.

Just as Balan was about to head off, A Sudden Loud B-A-N-G stopped him in his tracks. His golden iris slitted as he looked down to a smoldering bullet hole was inches away from his heels.

"Oh, don't go just yet! You haven't seen the best part."

A sinister sounding voice said to the group. Immediately Everyone's attention shifted to the direction of the voice. Standing on a platform above them stood the Man with the Long brown trenchcoat and rusty red hair.

"TOBIAS..!"

The sight of This man alone caused Bass's Fur to stand up and a bitter snarl to escape from his throat. His tail coiled tighter around Rosie as the child buried her face into his side shaking, not even daring to look in Tobias's direction.

Balan and Lance got into a Defensive position in front of Their guests, eyeing the man suspiciously.

"So you're that 'Tobias' Character I've heard so much about."

Balan said with a not so nice glint in his eyes. Usually he isn't the type to judge based upon first impressions- but the fact he causes so much fear in young Rosie alone didn't help. Not to mention the fact this unscrupulous Character just tried to shoot him.

Tobias gave a small smirk before brushing the hair out of his eyes.

" Why yes~ that's me."

" So you're also responsible for this Childs Terror."

Lance said with a sharp tongue. He didn't like Tobias. He didn't like how he came into wonderworld without his or Balan’s knowledge. He didn’t like the eerie negative aura about him. And he especially didn't like the look in his eyes..

Tobias gave a small laugh before raising his eyebrow to the maestros, seemingly amused by how irritated he's made them by barely doing anything.

" Well, it is said one should play with the toys given to them."

"What-"

Balan was flabbergasted by this man's words. The way he spoke and acted had already rubbed him the wrong way- but that phrase alone made an unusual fury bubble up inside him. No living being should be treated as an object- to be toyed with for one's own entertainment!

"Ohh~ Don't be upset! I am always willing to share my things with whoever wishes to join in our little game."

Tobias cooed as he saw How fired up Balan was getting. Lovely! He's certainly going to make this game all the more entertaining. With a snap of his fingers, two Being stepped forward beside Tobias.

The Masked wolf being from the last stage, and a new Beast. It was a warped and twisted version of the missing residents of this stage. This being also had on a mask, but it resembled the face of a dolphin. Its single visible iris locked onto Lance and balan as it seemingly judged them internally.

" In doing so, I've made many new friends. 'The little diver' and 'resilient farmer' were all too glad to join the game. Why, they were absolutely ecstatic to hear you will also be playing with us."

Tobias mused as he gestured to both the beings standing beside him. He looked even more pleased as He saw the Absolute looks of horror and shock find their way onto the maestros' faces.

"No…."

Balan was completely choked up as he nearly stumbled backwards. How could anyone.. why would anyone… Do something like this.. something so Horrible!? He couldn't even begin to wrap his head around this new development. He clutched his mouth and felt sick to his stomach from this disturbing revelation.

"You Wretched Soul..!"

Lance, on the other hand, was downright livid. He spat at Tobias as his Tendrils flared violently. He was not only upset at the abominations before him, but at himself for once again being too late to save those he held dear. This.. Cruel human had crossed a line that he should've never even known of. And he was fixing to pay dearly for this treasonous act towards humanity AND wonderworld.

"Oh my~"

Tobias whistled as he saw how the Negati maestro was practically ready to kill him right then and there. Quite the temper on that one. He should probably deal with this now rather than later.

"Well then, I think the boys are ready to play. Drown em for me, love."

He tapped on the shoulder of the dolphin creature before it nodded to him, before Turning its attention to the group.

It gave a Loud roar before leaping off the platform and changing its shape. Soon, it had changed into its original negati boss form; Anjellica.

But just as before with Barktholomew, Anjellica was acting completely out of control and feral, being sure to destroy any and all forms of escape to keep the group trapped on the platform before her. Tobias smirked as he watched the scene from a safe distance. It was now time for The fearless heroes to face the wrath of the sea.

"Now then, let's get things started."

Safety in numbers #8

“Woah~! Everything is so pretty!”

Rosie marveled as she skipped across the sandy floor of the underwater stage. Seems like the change of scenery was exactly what she needed to distract her from the situation she was in. The tims and negati hopped around her as she began to touch and feel her way through the stage.

“uck..” But unlike his Master; Bass wasn't having a great time. Even an energy-based feline didn’t seem to like being surrounded by water. It was a blessing that they could all breathe in this place of watery horrors…

“ So you were going to explain about you and Young Rosie’s Relationship with this Tobais fellow, Were you not?”

Lance said as he raised a brow at Bass’s seasickness. Unlike Balan who was keeping a close eye on Rosie, He wanted to cut to the chase immediately. The lack of power and control of his own domain was irritating him greatly.

Bass Glanced back at Lance and Balan before motioning with his tail for them to walk closer to him. He’d rather not set off His master again with what they were talking about. Once the two drew near enough he gave a quiet sigh before beginning the Tale of Tobias

“ It’s safe to Say That It’s Tobais’s Fault we’re even in this wacky World. I may not know all the details, but For as Far as The others can remember, Tobias has been the main center for all of their and Masters strife.”

His tail gently swayed as he looked at Rosie splashing happily in the water as he continued speaking.

“ He’s a Heartless soul who only wishes to cause harm- Just for the fun of it. I’ve seen him make terrible things… it doesn’t matter if your Animal, robot, or even human. If you Catch his interest, he will put you through countless experiments and try to figure out how you TICK. Anyone who would dare to hurt a Kind Hearted Girl like the Master is truly Wicked.”

His Fur spiked and his claws flexed slightly the more he talked about Tobais and how he was. It was obvious how much he hated this Man by the way his quiet voice slipped into a hiss the longer he spoke.

“ I makes my Coils Boil just to even think of how many times he’s Poisioned or Tortured her.”

“he WHAT-“

Both Lance and Balan Said in unison with two very different expressions… but both looked displeased by what they just heard.

“You heard me.”

Bass barely turned his head to look back at them.

“But- She’s only a child-“

Balan Started in disbelief before Bass immediately cut him off and stared back at him with slits in his optics.

“ Do you really think it matters to a Madman what you are? As long as you entertain him and his whims, he’ll Do anything .”

Balan took a step back from the feline instinctively as he could feel the negative energy from the Core itself flare up and around Bass’s frame. It was Obvious now that Lance was the One who could keep Bass stable rather than himself.

He was housing a lot of bitterness in his core. But oddly enough.. it never consumed him. It just… Blended with his energy and dispurst naturally.

“ You couldn’t even begin to imagine the horrors and pain my Master has faced. That’s why we protect her so fiercely. That’s why we must escape. ”

Bass stated coldly as he shifted his attention from Balan To Lance.

Lance was Watching Rosie with a thoughtful expression. The Way she was Acting… so carefree and Happy.. was so strange. If he hadn’t seen her slip into her Panic Attacks himself or Seeing the terror in her eyes when she heard that Persons name, he would’ve had a hard time believing what Bass had told them.

The Young girl before them who was beaming from ear to ear because she found a sparkly seashell had experienced a Hell that No Man- let alone a Child should bear. How was she so Happy despite being in so much pain…?

“ Hey Bass! Come look! There’s a bunch of pretty coral I found!”

Rosie giggled, blissfully unaware of what the other three were talking about… or maybe she was aware. There was no telling what she was thinking.

“ Coming~!”

The feline gave a cheerful Purr as he trotted off to go look at the dead coral his master found that was impressive enough for her to call him over. He didn’t really care about it as much as she did, but if it makes his master happy he will admire whatever it was for as long as she liked. Her smile was like a rare and precious gem after all.

“And just like that..”

“ His whole demeanor changed…”

Balan and Lance were dumbfounded by how quickly Bass changed his attitude at the snap of a finger. After saying something like that and then could so easily snap into a calm and affectionate manner towards Rosie was truly a feat to behold.

“Even so, I think we shouldn’t take his words- Or this ‘Tobias’- Lightly.”

Lance rubbed his temples as he spoke. This whole situation seemed to spiral more and more out of control the more information he’s told.

“ Your right. I must admit that what Bass has said really worries me… With How He was described… Do you believe that Tobias is one of the ‘faded situations’?”

Balan Looked to Lance with an uncertain expression.

There were very few times where they’ve experienced a visitor who was too far gone to have even Wonderworld Help them.. it was always Heartbreaking for The Maestro to have to send away someone who just simply couldn’t be helped..

But this would have to be the first time where Not only the other Visitors were affected- But the Wonderworld itself. To be able to tamper with a world that was beyond your own was nothing to Sneeze at.

“ I wouldn’t expect you of all people to come up with such a negative solution, but I wouldn't rule it out.”

Lance Raised his brow to Balan before crossing his arms. He wouldn’t admit it out loud but he too was feeling particularly uneasy about the situation.

The out of control Negati boss, the twisted Mindscape, the Crystals Balan had mentioned, the gunfire, and now these Warnings Of ‘Tobias’. And if these things happen to be connected- Things could take a turn for the worst.

And another thing. Balan May not realize it as clearly as he does, but If Wonderworld itself could be tampered with- It's not as far-fetched that whatever was happening could also possibly affect them as well. If his suspicions are correct; They’re going to need to deal with this threat immediately.

“Hey Clowns! What are you doing? Come over here!”

The sound of Bass's Snarky tone broke Lance out of his thoughts. The Feline was watching from in front of a pair of cracked Pillars as Rosie walked with the Tim’s and Negati up ahead.

Balan and Lance glanced at each other before following after. Rosie had stopped in front of what appeared to be a stairway made of.. Water bubbles? She stood there curiously before turning to her travel companions.

“ How are we supposed to get across..?”

“Ugh… I really hope we’re not supposed to SWIM in those things.”

Bass grimaced and coiled his tail around his Paws. Water was so… icky.

“ It’s not as tricky as it seems!”

Balan gave a bright grin and Approached the bubble stairway. With a Flair he spun into the bubble and moved fluidly through the water as if he were gliding through a cloud before popping out of it like a Jack in the box and moving onto the next bubble, until he reached the other side.

“With just a spin and a hop, you’ll make it to the top~!”

He gave a singsong hum and did a little spin. He couldn’t help himself! Being Perky and playful is just what makes him a positivity maestro after all.

“ That was so neat-! but.. Um.. I dunno if I’d be able to do that though- I’m not that great at swimming haha…”

Rosie nervously rubbed her arm and glanced down to the negati looking in between her legs. Don’t get her wrong- was very impressed with Balan’s antics, but didn’t believe she had half the amount of skill to pull something like that off- Or let alone have the confidence to attempt it.

“ You don’t have to be afraid ‘minou’ , All you must do is simply try your best. And if you fall, I’ll be here to catch you.”

Lance stated softly as he placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. She flinched at his touch slightly, but tried to remain calm about it.

The gentle look in the Negati master's eyes along with the encouraging chirps and squeaks from the Tim’s and Negati helped ease her nerves. Odd how someone who could seem a little scary at first could have such a kinda aura about him.

“o…. Mmmhm..Okay.. I’ll do my best.”

She gave a shy Nod to him and gently rubbed the edges of her kitty hoodie before approaching the water Bubbles. She glanced over to Bass who was looking at her with confidence in her abilities, and then up to Balan who was giving a thumbs up from the top.

Giving a deep inhale, she got a running start before jump into the bubble and holding her breath. Rosie may not be a great swimmer, but she was a good diver. After going around it for a moment She dove through the bubble and popped out, gasping for air before diving into the other- and repeating the process till she reached the top.

As she popped out the last bubble, Balan was quick to catch her in his arms. He was grinning ear to ear as he spun her around a little before setting her down on soil ground.

“That was Marvelous my dear! I Knew you could do it!”

He beamed proudly.

“Aaaa..”

Rosie her cheeks and ears burning as she pulled the hoodie over her face shyly, not being used to all those positive reinforcement from other beings. Balan only gave a little Humm as he looked at her. She really was an adorable visitor.

“As if there was any doubt. My Master is amazing.”

Bass scoffed proudly as his tail dusted the ground. Lance rolled his eyes before he approached Bass, a Mischievous glint in his eye.

“ Then I suppose you wish to follow in her footsteps. You may go ahead of me.”

Lance Said, Giving a small pleased smile when Bass Glanced back at him with Widened eyes with small pupils.

Lance Knew Bass despised the water, but he didn’t feel bad about teasing him about it. He was Still leeching off of him and had such a bad attitude towards him and Balan that he didn’t mind messing with him a little.

“Or Perhaps, Are you afraid~?”

“I AM NOT- I just.. uh..”

Bass Hissed At Lance as his fur stood up. But boy he really didn’t want to get wet… But with this Negati master teasing him.. his master was going to misunderstand..

“Common kitty! You can do it! It’s okay!”

Rosie called from on top the platform. Yep. She definitely misunderstood. The Feline couldn’t disobey his master's calling... So with a quick look of disgust to Lance and his smug face, he reluctantly went through the water stairway and climbed onto the platform.

Even though he was strictly an energy being at the moment, he was still somehow drenched. And he hated it. He Glared down at Lance while Rosie gently patted him and told him he was such a good boy.

It didn’t take Lance to go through the stairway as he was quite pleased with himself. Balan smiled to the group and walked to the edge of the platform and pointed forward to the path.

“ Shall we get going then my brave adventurers?”

He asked with a grin.

But his smile faltered slightly as he saw the once happy and calm faces twisted into looked of distraught and horror. Rosie clinged onto Bass and the feline looked on with a distasteful frown. Even Lance was looking disturbed. Quickly Balan turned to see where they were all looking- and nearly stumbled back.

The remaining parts of the Mindscape had already twisted into something truly horrible. The once clear and beautiful ocean had become the picture image of a polluted and dead watsland of water..

Safety in numbers: Queen For A Day

“You.. Did this all for me..?”

Rosie couldn’t believe the words she was hearing. Balan And Lance stood infront of her with smiles on their faces as the entirety of Tim Island was decorated with streamers and lights, Almost looking as colorfully illuminated as the theatre itself.

“ Of course! An Orange birdy told us that it just so happens to be your special day; So there was Obviously no other option than to celebrate!”

Balan Chimed as he spun around and threw a little confetti from nowhere over her. Rosie couldn’t help but let a goofy grin slip onto her face. She was always so used to spending her birthday with her guardians in secret, not usually doing a whole big party. So the fact The two Maestros worked with her guardians to make Everything was so cute and sparkly for her- She couldn’t help but feel happy!

“ I don’t usually indulge in such things, but Today I’ll make an exception.”

Lance stated in his usual Serious tone, but Rosie could see the small smile make its way onto his face aswell when he finished speaking. She’s Proven to him that despite everything, She hasn’t given into negativity and bitterness- And for that alone she deserves the world. A simple party to celebrate her birthday is the least he could do. And he knows Balan would wholeheartedly agree.

“ So be a great cheer little one, for today you are The Maestro of the day. Whatever you wish shall be so!”

Balan playfully draped his arm over Lances shoulder and pulled him close with a grin. It was always such a grandiose occasion to celebrate ones birthday, and he was always happy to oblige. Not to mention it was one of the rare occasions Lance also joined in on the festivities- So today was to be one to behold!

“ You Really mean it?”

She said with a bright sparkle in her eyes, hardly believing what she was hearing. Balan gave a pleased humm while Lance nodded in agreement.

“ Absolutely. Your guardians Call you ‘Princess’, But today you shall be known as ‘Queen.’”

They Both Gave a bow to her as Negati and Tim alike began to run up to her with squeaks and Chirps. They seemed happy to be around their new ‘Queen’ As they bounced around her with much cheer. Rosie grinned as she held the pink kitty tim from when she first arrived in her arms. It felt so nice to be appreciated.. she couldn’t help but let a few tears of joy roll down her face as she began to laugh.

Balan and Lance were pleasantly surprised when they heard her laugh.. it was the first time they’ve ever heard her laugh. Balan’s Gaze softened as he watched the girl in her moment of bliss. This was why he loved it here.. even those whose been through or going through one of the worst times in their lives.. they can still find some joy within the Wonderworld.

Lance now understood why her Guardians protect her so fiercely.. that smile... that laugh... The Sound and visual of her finally embracing the purity of her youth. She’s been through so much.. Yet those two things alone would make anyone want to protect her with their very soul.. He’s happy to have finally seen her experience such wonderful feelings.. and he was there to see and hear it himself.

“Let’s all Have fun together~! 💕”

Rosie Beamed as she turned to the two with a practically new glow about her, smiling brightly. Her smile was so infectious that they couldn’t help but smile aswell. They nodded to her and lead her to where the others awaited her, Guardians and residents alike.

And for the rest of the day, Rosie would spend some of the happiest moments of any birthday she’s ever had together laughing, dancing, and playing with the wonderful maestros and co. in the magical Wonderworld.
