~Chris~

Chris stopped chasing around the rodent and faced Ri'Rin. "Hey! What's so funny, staff-chick!" He asked, his brows furrowed behind the sunglasses.

~???~

"You shall become one with our hatred." The man said, suddenly beside Hannah, his fist having laid a strong blow to her gut.

"!?" Hannah felt no time to react, only pain, as she doubled over, forming a defensive maneuver to stay on her feet. Wobbling, her eyes forced fixture upon the unknown figure's own, both filled with bewilderment and fear.

"What... w-w-was..." She stammered, attempting to breathe, but to no avail. She reached for her spear with a trembling gesture, picking it up and just pushing herself towards one strike.

The man caught the tip of the spear in his bare palm. He threw the strike to the ground then kicked Hannah in the chest.

When the kick connected, Hannah felt the ground beneath her, her thoughts formulating the current occurrences. What just happened? I was part of a militia... even feared... and this guy... just took me down with two hits! ...Ugh, sleepy... Her next thought loomed as she closed her eyes. Why did he...

The man suddenly floated in the air as an ominous aura surrounded him With a sudden pulse, Hannah was in what seemed to be the world from the dreams, and the world was seeming to condense around her, into a smaller and smaller space, effectively crushing her.

"So what happened to your friend?" Ri'rin asked. "I wanted to ask her something"

~Hannah~

"AH!" Hannah shook as she found herself unable to inhale. "Damn, what is this!? What are you doing!?" The woman looked about frantically. This is so familiar... is my dream trying my crush me!?

~???~

The world around her seemed to implode into utter darkness.

For a moment, all was black, then the real world came back into focus, the man, walking away.

"Revel in your hatred of the world before you die, then you will become part of us." He said as he was walking away.

~Chris~

"I dunno..." Chris said, almost defiantly.

"Uh..." Hannah groaned, her eyes filtering in and out. "H-help..." She closed her eyes, passing out.

"Sounds like you're trying to cover for her or something." Tobias said to Chris, taking a guess from his tone of voice.

"Hey, when I say I dunno, I mean, I don't know. Lay off it, old guy!" Chris said.

"Geez, I'm not THAT much older than you." Tobias said, rolling his eyes and sighing. "Ri'Rin, I hope you don't have to ask this guy any questions."

"Ugh... Where am I?" Hannah emerged from the ground, her eyes slowly focusing on the area. The world seemed... not at all what it was...

Purple mist consumed the air, layering the sky and seas.

She felt nothing inside.

Land was below and above the woman. She couldn't...

"My God... anyone! HELP!" Everyone seemed lifeless.

"It's just like that dream..."

Chris suddenly felt cold. "You shut up, ya old farty-pants!" He shouted at Tobias. He pulled out the Sutra with the cover of the report and threw it at Tobias' head. He then turned and ran. What is this feeling?

~~~

Nearby, a familiar body was on the ground, surrounded by the mist.

"Huh? Who the?" Hannah recovered from the slight fear, and stepped towards the figure.

"Chris...? What is... what is going on here!?" Hannah, suddenly flooded with rage, slammed her fist into the ground. "Is this... is this the heretic's... my world? What is going on!!!?"

"Nope." Ri'rin said, raising her staff. "We can have ca little fun." She slammed her staff down, it shattered into many crystal butterflies. "Scatter." She said and the butterflies did just so.

~Chris~

Chris ran outside the forest and got a good view of the battle. "... Wow..." He said, seeing the battle. An airship suddenly crashed at one part of the carnage, completely in flames. Despite the bombing run in Costa Del Sol, Baron's army was not winning a decisive victory.

Then Chris saw Hannah.

"... HANNAH!" Chris said, running over to her. "Hey! Are you alright!? What happened to you!?"

Hannah wasn't in the least stirred by the noise. "So, that girl... quite the place to nap hmm?" A voice was overheard.

"Huh?" Chris turned around, pulling out his knife, his sunglasses slightly askew. "Why are you?" He asked, holding it up in case of a fight.

"Why am I what?" The woman's moogle ears twitched, her eyes focused. "You mean why am I here? Heh, simply put, just to actually come here with a warning..."

"Who the hell are you?" Chris asked. "What did you do to Hannah?"

"Nothing. That man... he attacked your friend, not I." The woman peered at the girl. "This will last awhile..." She sighed.

"... She's in the dream..." Chris said to himself. He held her for a moment. "Can I go there too?"

"You just expect me to just... smack you and immediately you'll have the dream?" The woman raised a brow, unsure.

"I don't know... It's just a place... I feel like... I hafta go back there." Chris said. "Wait... How do you know about the dream?"

"Well, I've been here awhile, learned some things..."

"A while...?"

"Oh I'm not a hundred or anything. Just... it's a long story."

"..." Chris turned back to Hannah. "Please... Just wake up... Please..."

"You can't. I heard you were fighting... so why are you worried about her?"

"Do you need a reason to to care about someone?" Chris asked.

"Well, yes, actually you DO." The woman slapped her forehead. "I mean if someone prodded you with a sword, I wouldn't be so caring towards them."

"Maybe you just need a reason NOT to."

"Touche. I wouldn't begin caring for everyone."

"... Hannah..." Chris said. "Please... Get out of there..." He closed his eyes. There's a place I need to go to...

The woman continued to glance. "Can't do anything. Sorry."

Chris placed his forehead on Hannah's. "Please..." He said, before passing out.

~~~

Inside the dream, the Chris opened his eyes. They were almond colored.

"I want out..."

"... You're here..." Chris spoke in an unfamiliar, raspy voice. He looked at Hannah's eyes. "Green?"

Hannah turned around, both eyes staring at him. Chris now saw the other eye was a luscious amber. "Chris? What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to help you... You're hurt." Chris said, standing. He looked at Hannah. She was pale and skinny, compared to the real world. "... It's odd... This feels like the longest I've ever been here..." He said.

"You're... telling me... I really hate this place... I'm on the verge of insanity... If we don't find a way out, I'm gonna..."

"We'll get out..." Chris said, sitting down. "What happened to you? ... Your eyes are pretty."

"Ugh, never mind that Chris! What happened to me!?" Hannah glanced down. "To be honest, I don't know what the hell happened. Someone attacked me, and the next thing I know, I was here..."

****

~MEW~

"Well, frankly, the heretic's power amuses me. Heh, heh, heh... well I suppose I can only wait." Hooded once again, the figure sat down, yawned, and took a quick cat nap.

~Tobias~

"What the hell!?" Tobias shouted after getting hit in the head with the book thrown at him. He knelt over and picked it up, glancing over it. 'Wait! This is...' Tobias flipped through some of the pages, looking at the paragraphs of words and a few illustrations. 'No... this isn't the Report. But it has the cover of it...'

Tobias shut the book and put it in his bag. "I'm going after him, Ri'Rin!" He said before running off in the direction Chris had gone. When he approached he noticed the moogle-eared and hooded woman nearby, taking a nap. 'With those big ears she probably already heard me.' He thought as he knelt next to Chris' body.

'Hmph! Don't know what happened to'em and I don't care!' Tobias thought as he started to rummage through Chris' things for the true Heretic Report...

"Find what your after?" Ri'rin said as she leisurely walked up to them. "Hey there she is!" She said silently.

~MEW~

"Should you be a little more quiet when snooping around for others belongings?" The moogle eared woman, flicked her ears, though her eyes were still closed gently. She yawned once.

~Chris~

"Well... We gotta get out of here somehow... This place is creepy..."

~Hannah~

"You're telling me. It's not like I wanted to come back here..." Hannah kicked the floor with a deep sigh. "I just want to get back home..."

"Me too..." Chris looked around for a moment. "What do you suppose this place is anyway?" He asked. "Why is it so... Real?"

"It acts as a premonition, simply put." Hannah took a few steps forward. "This world... well, would it be one? I mean you and I have both had them." She clearly admitted. "I wouldn't doubt if it's... well the end of the world or something. Like maybe some alternate universe. Who knows... Maybe if I jump off something here, maybe I'll wake up..." She randomly thought aloud the last sentence.

"... That feels like it would just kill ya... But I got a feelin... Hannah... Ya think we can make sure this doesn't happen?"

Hannah lowered her head for a mere moment. Her eyes were focused on the floor beneath her. "I can't guarantee you anything. I told you and I'll tell you again, I don't want anything to do with this, okay? Not with you, not with that asshole back there... no one!"

"Asshole? You mean that strange woman?" He asked. He then shook his head. "Do we even have a choice?"

"Clearly, I do." Hannah responded casually. "If the world suddenly ends up like this... well I can get used to it." She shrugged, walking on.

"Really?" Chris asked. His stomach grumbled. "What's this hunger... And thirst... Urg..."

"Heh, at least you know what it's called! What, never felt that before? Trust me, the captain starved us for three days at a time, very often... And me? Ha, he doubled those days."

But even then, I couldn't last an eternity without food...

"Feels worse than when I didn't eat for a month..."

And now he shows off. Great. Hannah rolled her eyes and moved towards a small ledge. If this is only a dream... I could just... jump off this... In a dream you can't die... so why am I being so chicken? Hannah could hear her former captain's laughter in her head.

Chris collapsed. "...Don't do it... Nff..." He mumbled as he passed out.

Hannah turned for a moment to see Chris collapse, but did not heed his mumbles, or respond to the sudden action. Instead, she took one step forward, only to tremble back and fall onto her derriere.

"Go ahead... laugh at me..." Hannah cursed herself as she closed her eyes. "Maybe a nap would do me some good... probably will restore whatever confidence I did have..." She lied back, her eyes slowly closing as they focused on the deadened sky. "I hate it here..." She muttered before falling asleep.

~~~

~Chris~

Chris opened his eyes just as Tobias was reaching for his bag. He quickly got up, then kicked the older man in the stomach. "What the hell!?" He quickly checked his bag. Everything was there and in it's place.

~Hannah~

Hannah, meanwhile, groaned, hearing the sudden exclamation. She opened her eyes, but not before rubbing them, and sat up quietly, watching the two act out. With a scoot back, she took the chance to back away from the two. Gotta make sure they're not noticing... She thought, barely inching her way away backwards.

~Tobias~

"Hey, that's what I said... when you threw that book at me a minute ago." Tobias said, leaning forward and clenching his stomach after being kicked. He recovered and put on his knuckles and pulled out the Ninja Sutra with the Heretic Report cover on it.

"Give me the actual book about Heretics. I know this one's not it even though the cover is labeled 'Heretic Report'. You must have it if you were able to swap covers. Hand if over now and I will spare you and your little girlfriend a harsh beating." Tobias threatened, putting his fists up.
