(Ignore the previous comment, that was an accident) (Also, sorry I've been gone for a while if anyone even noticed XD)

Connie leaped and thrust her sword into the chest of an oncoming shadow, doubting that it would even do much good. She was terrified and was trying not to think of what could be happening to Mina and Icy down in the trees, yet somehow she felt empowered and vigorous in all this fighting. It was as though the whole world was moving in slow motion, muted, and all she could pay attention to was the fact that they had to win, they had to win, they had to win, even though she didn't know what that meant.

In the distance, she saw Mina running out of the woods and rejoining the fight. She knew Mina was probably aggravated right now, but she had to talk to her.

"Mina!" She called, racing downhill and shoving people out of her way.

"Look, I'm sorry for how everyone's been treating you about the whole Crown thing. I think everyone's just really stressed and wants to make sure you do a good job, which of course is crazy because obviously, you will, but, anyway-" She panted. "Mina, do you think this is the final battle? Because of it sure as hell feels like we're heading there, and all I want to be sure is that I do all I can for the Resistance." Mina looked at her strangely.

"I'm not trying to be selfish at all, or say I should play a bigger role, because who cares when it comes to battle? ALl I'm saying is, there was a prophecy, and it was proclaimed that I'm supposed to help save the heart of Kyngdom. Nothing special, maybe. But I need your help." Mina still looked confused, and Connie could tell Mina was still annoyed with her.

"Mina, please. You've always been such a strong leader, someone to look up to, from the moment I joined the Resistance. All I ask is that you help your colleague, and I hope your friend, retrieve the (wait does catastrophe have the shield or the sword again? Sorry, blanking XD) and save Kyngdom because that's what I saw. Please?" Mina looked at her wistfully.

"Please?" Connie begged.

Waiting for Mina to answer :)

What was I doing then? 

I had run through the terrain, scrambling. Someone yelled my name--a voice that sounded so familiar...someone I hadn't seen in a very long time. A voice like mine.

It had hit me in a moment.

I had begun to turn.  

But she had been farther away. And there was someone close to me. Someone with a sword. Someone who looked li--

No. WHY!? No. No!

Mina came nearly out of nowhere. The hoofbeats announced her arrival, but I had been so used to hoofbeats all ready. Anwen says something, and then Mina is there in an instant.

"YO BLONDIE!"

No. No, no no no no no.

Did she really do that?

Yes. She did.

Then Mina became a cat in my eyes, pacing perfectly, perfectly sure of every step. Her eyes showed a perfectly controlled predator.

And she was swallowed in Catastrophe's shadow.

Hoi, me again. I'm not entiiirely sure what to write next...so...can I have some help with filling in the blanks? I'm not sure what should happen after Icy's POV of what happened. 

I find Ronan in the midst of the chaos and give him the decoy. It won't be long before Catastrophe chases after him. But I'm glad Ronan decided to do this, so I told him the truth. That I have the Crown. 

But only him, because he was risking himself as bait anyway.

I was to leave, but conceal myself within the battle. Master Nova, with much of her energy spent, cast her last concealment spell--I turned into a human.

The pebble still safely tucked away somewhere on me, she reminded me I was on the brink of only 9 hours left. I still had time. Plenty of it, to be honest. 

I took the form of a girl with light skin and flaming red hair. Don't know where all that red came from, but I don't care.

Catastrophe, although he's smart and survived, would take a while to discover who had the Crown.  

Pain. Darkness. Pain.

I feel detached, a small thread holding me to the pain. I know that if I could only snap that thread, I would be in calm. The pain would end.

A door opens in front of me, a shining beacon in the darkness. It opens, and inside I see light. I know, without knowing why, that if I go through that door all will be well. I can not hurt anymore. I will be free.

I move towards it, willing myself towards that safe haven. Grasping the doorway, I prepare to be free.

I stop, something is blocking the entrance. I push against it, but I feel it wrap around me and cacoon me in a tight grip.

No. I think. Please. Let me go. I don't want to fight anymore. I just want to be free.

I struggle against the force, but it is relentless. The doorway vanishes, and I moan. My last chance of reprieve from the pain.

The darkness slowly lightens, and I feel the grip loosen. What was happening?

~~~~

My eyes snap open. All around me I hear the sounds of battle.

Then I remember. Catastrophe was going to get the Crown. We had to stop him.

I surge forward, then scream in agony. The movement brought pain so intense I thought I was going to die. It flared up my back, igniting old wounds into a fiery action. My arms are useless, and I am blocked by twisted metal.

Black spots dance in front of my eyes, and I try frantically to blink them away.

A fuzzy cloth feels like it is being placed over my concience, and everything once more decends into darkness. 

I look around at the fighting Resistance. So many are dead, countless others wounded. 

But it breaks me when I see a familiar face.

"Sprocket!" I yell.

She's slumped over metal from a destroyed cart, and isn't currently awake.  

"Oh, snap out of it. We can't lose you now," I whisper, gently tapping her cheek. "Sprocket."

Then I see a piece of meta wedged in her collarbone. I grab it and win a sharp inhale, quickly pull it out.

She gasps and coughs, wide eyed, looking around. "Mina?"

"How did you know?" I ask. I look different, after all.

"Voice," she replies, before her head slumps back down. "Sorry I'm not being much help."

"You've helped plenty, and now we need to treat these wounds," I say. "I'll get Quill, okay?"

She nods and I get up before she grasps my hand. "Mina."

I turn back around. "Hm?"

She smiles. "Thanks."

I smile back. "Anything for a comrade."

I head off to get Quill. 

Whoops, posted under CB name. I meant Mina. XD

Has anyone seen Moonshadow?  I think she may be missing.
