As pain shot through Ferondir, Dark Zeph breathed in deeply- consuming the pain and strife that was lingering around him- as well as enjoying the flurry of magic that the spell released (because apparently that's how binding rune spells work in Ferondir's world).
He had slightly let his guard down while satiating his desire for chaos- but after a short moment, he sensed a presence in his wake.
Guzore.
Dark Zeph turned quickly, just in time to see Guzore's Megaton hammer just inches away from him.
As the hammer became not even an inch away from his body, deep red and purple distortion flared to life- a shield materializing around that area.
The large hammer slowed upon making contact with the shield, still passing through it- however Dark Zeph reacted just in time. After a short moment, a wave of energy launched the hammer backwards- away from Zeph.

Dark Zeph turned, now irritated by Guzore's feeble attempt at an attack.
You ignorant, disposable, rock. He said, nearly provoked, and slowly marching infront of Guzore.
He pulled his own arm backwards, apparently readying it for an attack.
Tsk Tsk... Next time, you should try and finish what you started. He said, scolding Guzore for his incompetence.
Ashes to ashes, rocks... to dust. He said calmly, as plates of darkness formed around his arm, oscillating as a high velocity, creating a drill of dark energy.

He laughed, though it was barely audible over the consistent grinding noise.
After a few moments, Zeph pulled his arm away, letting the drill fizzle away.
He observed Guzore's current state, signifying the results with a ...Eh..
He concentrated on his subject, tapping into Guzore's mind.
...

...
what the... He scoffed at the image that he was presented with, flicking his wrist- which caused Guzore to be flung into the corner and, against his will, sit there in time-out.
Energy shackles slithered out of the floor, and quickly attached, and binded themselves, to Guzore's arms.
WHO DO YOU EVEN THINK YOU ARE?!?!?!?! Cassie shouted angrily, which caused Zeph to snap his gaze towards her.
You were never like this, and then you had to go and turn your back on us.... We're your friends you idiot! Zeph smirked, enjoying the frustration and angst she'd built up- like a flood gate.
Friends. Friends? He chuckled slightly, slowly making his way over to her.
Cassie, Cassie, Cassie. Poor, oblivious, Cassie. Zeph said, tauntingly, circling around her, like a shark- close to her, but not making contact.
You were never friends, you were- He spoke slowly and clearly, and then whispered to her.
-A game. A test.
You are nothing. He concluded, with a false, dry, empathy.
Zephyrus... Why won't you come back? Cassie said, filled with sadness and other emotions.
Zeph stopped circling her, snickering.
suddenly, he was directly in front of Cassie, his cold, amused eyes observing her current state.
Zeph's gone? Oh, Cassie. He never left.
Don't you get it, or have you forgotten?
I am Zeph. The real Zeph. He took note of her reaction, as a look of realization spread grimly across his face.
You clueless idiot. It's true, isn't it? Zeph said, followed by a dark laugh.
Oh, this is spec-tacular.
Zeph leaned in close to Cassie, staring right into her eyes.
you love him. He said, taunting her, knowing how seeing the face of someone she cared for, twisted in this way would torture her behind this facade.
You've grown to care for him, and you don't even know why. You just haven't figured out what's so...familiar. Zeph said, still softly.
Well- guess what? He whispered, lingering inches front of her face.
He might have loved you, too. A sinister, pleased grin masqueraded upon his face as a fake, empathetic frown for a period of time.
Too bad I'm making him kill the only person he loves. Zeph said, gently wiping away a cold tear from her cheek, no longer making any effort to disguise the obscure darkness in his amusement.
He knew the pain seeing such a twisted familiarity would cause her, and Zeph somewhere deep down.
Meanwhile, during that.
Shia layed unconcious, on the cold, hard, ground.
Shia... Shia.... A voice echoed around her mind.
Shia...Shia...
It's time to wake up, Shia...
...
Shia! At that, Shia regained conciousness, with a start.
Though something wasn't quite right.
She could feel something- caught in her throat.

[invective~directive]

(Okay, portal told me what it is and stuff so DON'T JUDGE ME IF IT DISTURBS YOU ALRIGHT)

Shiallia - Tower - Some people

Shia blinked open her eyes, vision blurry and unfocused. She tried to breathe, but there was something in her throat. She coughed, feeling something come out of her mouth, and pulled some sort of bandage from her mouth in an attempt to get it out of her. She pulled it for some time, panicking and pulling faster and faster until the end finally fell onto the ground in front of her. She coughed some more, sitting shakily on the ground, and looked around her, head spinning. Her soul felt really... Weird. "Fer... Ferondir?" She had no idea want to think about anything right now, so she didn't try to talk to him. She tried and failed to stand, stumbling against the wall and lowering herself back to the ground.

[portal2lbp2]

(Zeph is still doing things with everyone else in this, but as has been established, he can do multiple things at once.)
Hey- Hey Shia, don't try to stand. Here, let me help. 'Ferondir' said grabbing her arm, and gently helping her up.
He carefully steadied her, checking twice to make sure she was okay.
Shia? What happened?? A-Are you okay? He said worriedly, getting distracted by her eyes.
I- 'Ferondir' started, speaking softly, meaningfully, as he unintentionally inched his head closer to Shia's.
I don't know what I'd do if something had actually h-happened to you. He smiled weakly, his hand still resting on Shia's arm- his eyes, still locked with hers.

[invective~directive]

Shiallia - Tower - Them people over there

Shia tried to pull away, but she got really dizzy, and almost fell over. "What the... What're you doing... What?" She squinted at him, looking exhausted and confused. "Didn't I like... Stab you a minute ago?" She closed her eyes, frowning. "I... I'm... Tired, I... I think?" She waved her hand at him. "No, what... Go away," she mumbled.

[portal2lbp2]

"Didn't I like... Stab you a minute ago?" Shia said, dazed and confused.
'Ferodir' reached his arm around her to steady her from swaying. His form pulsated, as an eery, dark, laugh resonated quietly around them.
W-what? No, Shia you're just disorientated. Maybe you should get some rest.
No, what... Go away, Shia said, weakly.
Are you...sure? Ferondir whispered, charmingly- inching closer to Shia.
S-Shia... It's time I told you. I- I really, r-really like you. Don't you like me too?

[invective~directive]

Shiallia - Tower - Ehhhh I can't remember

Shia looked at him weird. "What? I dunno... What are you... Stop. You're being weird, I... I want to be alone right now, I need to think about things..." She stepped back, leaning against the wall. "Please... Leave me alone." I'm so dizzy... She closed her eyes and slid into a sitting position. "I just... I need to think... About... Uh, something. I can't remember..."

[AzuniCatto]

Sapphire, after regaining herself, saw Shia on the ground, and Ferondir walking towards her in an interesting way. Then she saw Ferondir on the ground a distance away. Before she could think of any clever plan, she yelled, "Shiallia! There are two Ferondirs! One isn't real!" She braced herself for physical punishment from Zeph.

[portal2lbp2]

I can't remember... Shia finished.
A quiet, yet still dark an eerie laugh reverberated around the room again.
...two Ferondirs...isn't real! Sapphires voice was heard faintly, as if it was very distant- just barely audible to Shia.
'Ferondir' let go of Shia, stepping backwards- now with a very un-Ferondir like grin on his face.
Alli, Alli, Alli. 'Ferondir' said, as he rotated on his heel. Though, once he had faced Shia he was someone different.
Thought you'd seen the last of me? Said the grey haired boy, now in Ferondir's place.
He was almost like Shia remembered, though his skin and clothes were heavily charred and burnt.
I'm not fond of the hair color anymore-A bit too.. not purple. He said, striding closer to Shia.
Miss me? Ren said, almost suppressing his laugh at Shia's own expression.
Meanwhile with Sapphire.
A cloud of dark fog rolled in around Sapphire, as a low rumbling could faintly be heard, and felt, around her.
Suddenly, a darker spot in the fog turned into Zeph, who was now standing, impatiently, in front of Sapphire.
Really? Bracing yourself for pain? That's your problem- He started, now stepping quite close to her.
...If you think you can prepare yourself for what I'm going to do...well, heh- you lack creativity.
At that, the fog that was surrounding them rolled back, revealing a damp, dark, echo of the boat from the past.
Recognize this, Sapphire? Yes? You should.
A distant scream echoed around the room, as the noise and commotion that usually accompanied pirate ships faded into existence.
Waves could be heard against the ship, and pirates were apparently working on the deck above them.
I know how much you enjoy ships. Zeph said, in a manner that suggested this wasn't even the surprise yet.
Bzzt!
Suddenly, a bright green flash of energy erupted around the room, as a Zora flew backwards, smashing a barrel on impact as she hit the wall.
Amethyst.

Amethyst? Amethyst? A-Amethyst?

Past Sapphire's said, as she ran to her sisters side. Desperately, she grabbed Amethyst. Right when her hand made contact with Amethysts shoulder, the world around them distorted, rewinding. The water retracting through the hole in the ship- Amethyst flying backwards through the air, and Gill's energy blast from his sword zapped to its origin.
Bzzt! The green light flashed around the room again, illuminating the cold water on the floor.
Zeph smirked, proud of his work.
I thought you'd like this. HmHm.
Don't let anyone tell you I don't like a good game, however.
Here's the deal- you stop your sister from dying, you get out.
Oh- I almost didn't mention. Every time the events restart- He started to say, until a crack could be heard, which seemingly caused a large red mark on Sapphire's arm, as if something fast had hit it.
Until then...
He smirked, one final time- As he raised his arms, causing black smoke to circle around him.
Enjoy. The smoke was completely around him then. As quick as it was there, it disappeared, Zeph with it.

Amethyst? Amethyst? A-Amethyst?
