[u][i][b]That's it, Crossbow's pissed![/b][/i][/u]
[b][i]Unknown building in the Dojo Woods, 2250 Hours[/i][/b]
[i]The room was dark as Crossbow woke, making it hard to see the multiple people surrounding him. But they were there, waiting for this moment. He tries to get out of the chair he's sitting on, except he cannot, and feels an immense pain in his shoulders and hands, his left shoulder feeling even more pain. Apparently whoever is the leader of these people drilled his hands and shoulders to the chair he is sitting in, and cannot move his arms. As he struggles to get off of the chair, one man, possibly the leader, walks up to Crossbow, taking Cross's hood off to reveal his bleached white skull.[/i]
???: Finally, we have gotten the Satan man!
[i]The people around him cheer as they light some large candles around him.[/i]
Cross: The... Satan man?
[i]The man backhands him, not causing any pain but annoying him greatly.[/i]
???: Satanists like you must be destroyed. You have caused multiple crimes to us, and we will defeat you, in the name of God and Justice!
[i]The men cheer once again, chanting "Burn him! Burn him! Burn him!" But to no avail, as Crossbow reaches an anger so foul that something inside him activates. Almost instantly he explodes into a black mass, it appears gaseous, but twitches occasionally as if it were a solid. The men, except for the leader, scatter. Even if the leader runs away it will not work as he is already consumed by the mass. When Crossbow returns to normal, the only remnants of the man are his bones. Crossbow rubs his left shoulder, the people split it when they drilled it. He holds his shoulder as he reaches down with his other hand, pressing the chest of the skeleton. The marrow from the bones flake off and go up his arm. When he lets go two white spots are on where his hands were drilled, and his split shoulder is healed. He leaves the building, running towards the Exiled base.[/i]

"Seems pretty empty so far."
-
Dammit. Keep looking. The more we find the better
-
[b]Royal walked to the other side of the room, looking around [/b]
-
*Crossbow opens up a door to another room, then goes inside* Hey, uh, Roy. You may wanna see this.
-
[b]Royal heads inside, looking around [/b]
-
*On the wall is a massive spread of cracks, all lit up with a pale white light. A handprint rests in the center, also glowing* This... This is new. I didn't see this when I left
-
"Okay, this is from Doctor Who. No doubt
-
Wait, what? No, it's not from Doctor Who. It's a memory fragment
-
"Doctor Who mate. You remember the season with the cracks in the walls?"
-
I know what you mean, Royal. However this isn't Doctor who stuff. I've... seen this many times before. It's made by smashing a skull on a wall, then inserting a memory via your hand.
-
"Huh So it's a memory fragment?"
-
Yeah. Least that's what I believe it is... *He slowly walks up to it, putting his hand on the handprint. Then his face goes blank as he stands there, hand on the wall*
-
[b]Royal walks up, putting his own hand on the crack [/b]
-
*Your mind goes blank the second you touch it. Then a vision appears in your mind. A hooded man drilled to a chair sits in the center of the room, a lot of robed people around him chanting "Burn him! Burn him!*
-
"So they're burning Crossbow."
-
*It seems as if it is going to play out this way, except Crossbow suddenly explodes into a black mass. The men all scatter and flee, but Royal, through the eyes of the leader, stays still, being devoured by it, getting it's flesh ripped apart by it*
-
[b]Royal was shocked, to say the least seeing Crossbow like that for the second time. A new power perhaps [/b]
-
*When he reverts to his normal form, he looks around, making sure no one is watching. He then crouches down, touching the now picked clean skeleton that was the leader's chest (Or Royal's, since he is seeing the leader through his eyes). When he does this the marrow begins to flake off, going up Crossbow's arm. He rolls up his sleeve to see a couple white spots on his arm and a white streak on his shoulder. He then quickly leaves the scene, leaving the leader alone. At least, for about ten minutes as time seems to speed up*
-
[b]Royal was shocked, speechless even [/b]
-
*After a moment a man walks into the building. It's Mortem, the man Mortar was concerned about* Oh, who were you there? You seem... Fresh.
-
"This is so wrong..."
-
*He doesn't hear as he snaps the skull off the neck. Royal's point of view spins around a lot as he is being held by Mortem into the back room*
-
"This is.. How does one says-"
-
*he is not heard as he is moved to the back room. Mortem says a something in a strange language, faces the face of the skull to the wall and smashes the skull into it, causing the vision to stop immediately. When Royal wakes up, he has a throbbing headache, like he's the one who hit the wall*
-
"Ugh...." [b]Royal placed a hand on his head, looking around [/b]
