"Damn!" Buff said. "Are you sure we're safe? Are you sure he can't follow us into the other world?" "I believe we're safe. "Chamomile responded. "Look." O'Riley raised his other arm and made both hands into fists. Soon, a massive windstorm overtook the area, getting more and more powerful each second. Before they knew it, trees started to uproot and fly away. Still the ferocity grew. "It's totally quiet in here." Sulfur remarked. "That would make sense." Chamomile responded. "Only visible light can pass back and forth between in here and out there." Buff continued staring at O'Riley for a few moments, then suddenly tackled the other four, knocking them all to the ground. "Close your eyes!" he yelled, still on top of them all. "What the fuck!" Canary yelped. "Stay down and keep your eyes closed!" Buff yelled, his enormous voice echoing through the silence of Yellowhaus. "Visible light! Don't you get it? He could mind control or even kill us with his power. Pulses of hypnotic light! He could have shut our hearts down in a blink! He could have made us do anything!" Suddenly, violent pulses of light began to flicker from outside, barely perceptible by the five, their eyes tightly shut. "Damn that O'Riley!" Chamomile yelled. "Have to opaque the windows! Have to get to the control panel!" "Keep down!" Sulfur yelled. "Shield your eyes! If you can see the light even a little, he could get through!" "Damn!" Chamomile yelled. "I'm over here!" the five heard a voice say from within the room. "On the table! It's me, Colonia the Sword, from Libertine Wave. I have eye protection on. Tell me where to go and I can close the windows. "Shit." Chamomile muttered. "Okay Colonia! You're right by it! Just get off the table away from the sound of my voice!" "Got it!" Colonia yelled. "Now--" Chamomile began. "What if he's under O'Riley's control? How can we trust him?" Buff yelled. "We have no choice, Buff." Chamomile answered. "Now Colonia, walk forward and to the right. You should feel the counter there. Okay?" "Okay." "Now, move to the right along the counter and you'll feel a dome shape." "Got it." Colonia answered after a few seconds. "Okay, that's it." Chamomile said. "Feel for a ring. It's on the upper left of the panel. Just pull on the ring. It's the only ring there." The intensity of the pulsing light increased. A few tense moments passed. "I can't find it!" Colonia yelled. -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
