papago’s soundwaves no longer resembled that of unsynchronized chords ; it was nothing but unnatural silence.
belle had chased after the monster that took her precious baby, had screamed so hard her voice cracked and the soreness was now settling in her throat. the ghost touch of eous’ little paws barely gracing her fingers remained in her senses as tears streamed from her eyes whilst looking down at the hands that had failed to grab him in time. the frantic energy that had driven her moments before finally broke under the weight of what had happened as she collapsed to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably on her lonesome.
from behind the monitor, wise had been just as helpless.
he could only watch in stunned horror at the image reflected back to him of his sister being entirely vulnerable and so utterly broken that it felt like a knife had twisted itself in his chest. he had tried to do what he could — as soon as eous had been grabbed, he had forced an override to try and temporarily take control of the bangboo to aid in helping him escape, but the connection failed under overwhelming interference after only a few seconds, yet that had been more than enough for the ethereal to take their companion away. the last thing wise saw before the feed faded into darkness was eous reaching out with tiny, trembling paws towards belle . . .
. . . and the agonizing sensation of true terror.
unsettling quietness engulfed them all for what felt like centuries, however life was slowly resurfacing after the confrontation, which prompted their ai assistant to break through in order to get both of their attention. “ master, i strongly advice immediate withdrawal. current survival projections have fallen below — ”
“ track it. ”
belle voice interrupted. her voice was perfectly calm, a complete 180 of how distressed she had been prior. it was enough to reel back her brother to reality as he could already tell exactly what was going through his sister’s mind and the turmoil bubbling deep within their cores. he didn’t want to be the one to initiate — he had to the responsible one — but he wouldn’t hesitate the second he notices belle was fully on board.
“ recovering the signal is currently impossible, master, ” fairy replied. “ i recommend that you — ”
“ then find where it went. ” the proxy stood from where she had knelt, her body stiff and erect. the faint stains from her tears evaporated from her cheeks while an arm raised to wipe at any remaining traces of her weakness. “ any miniscule thing you can track on that thing is better than nothing. ”
“ master — ”
“ now. ”
the ai fell silent, almost as if waiting for the second assistant to say something in protest, but the decision had already been made for him. wise removed himself from the HDD and, like being in trance, he retrieved his pistol from its containment before summoning all of his energy into latching onto the leash that wrapped itself around the shared etheric other, pyrois. he hurled the entity towards his location without necessary permission, yanking him straight from belle’s side, yet the other did not complain for destruction is what they were born from, and there was an undeniable air between both siblings that simply could not be ignored.
in an instant, the order had been placed through telepathic communication — pyrois absorbed wise into the void before making haste towards papago to join belle’s side in pursuit of the creature who dared take their most precious treasure. common sense had entirely left from belle for her to question where pyrois had disappeared to, yet the years spent relying on one another had long since made thought unnecessary for her to immediately understand the situation. her fingers settled around the grip of her own weapon, eyes dull with a strange sort of sharpness to them as she stared blankly ahead and waited for fairy to assert her request.
pyrois reappeared promptly besides her in record time, the impact from his speed sending violent shockwaves that crumbled any surrounding building and streets in the way. belle did not react ; she merely stood laser focused on nothing ahead just as her brother stepped forward from the black hole the etheric other brought forth. he accepted his position besides his sister without either of them acknowledging each other but body language was enough to exchange their exact sentiments. several long seconds passed before wise extended one hand with belle responding by lowering her own without looking. their fingers interlocked instinctively, and their unspoken pact has been sealed.
if they were going to descend into hell, they would do so side by side.
“ i have reconstructed the spatial distortion left by the fissure, ” fairy’s voice reached through their communicators. “ residual ether signatures remain detectable though they are unstable. in other words . . . ” the ai’s voice trailed. “ . . . trajectory confirmed. ”
their implants materialized a glowing route across both of their visions, winding deeper into the darkest reaches of papago hollow. it wasn’t stable, just as fairy had mentioned, but it was enough to zone in on that fucker who decided to mess with the wrong people. belle took the first step, wise matched her, and pyrois followed closed behind — everyone exhibiting the air of predatory impulse.
there would be no negotiations, no warnings, no survivors.

;-- random but . . . if joyous ain't with us anymore, do ya'll think this is what became of him ?
if he became corrupted, the hound kinda of makes sense to be what is left of him when you really think about it ( and delulu yourself ). this thing can teleport around with ease, can track people down, knows exactly when and where to be. kinda like a certain grandfather of proxies has done so when traversing through the divine maze, no ?
the instincts remain, that amazing ability of navigation lingers within that thing even after death which is how it makes the hound that much of a dangerous entity ( ignore the fact that it can be killed i think idk i havent gotten that far kek ). joyous was one, if not, the best at what he was known for and this creature is the most feared within the divine maze. and don't you think it's kinda crazy too that it went for eous that carried a connection to the labyrinth carrot hmm ?
and idk the hound has a cloak too and sorta same color scheme as joyous but honestly im just reaching here so don't take this dumb theory to heart

"At least if you carry me, you don't have to run!"
She helped the proxy in as much as she could before Belle stood up straight, genuinely concerned but still a little peeved. But when Belle took her arm again inside Random Play, she smirked and walked along with her like nothing had happened prior.
"Yeah let's get to your car and head out soon, I'm starving!"
Nicole smiled as she playfully tugged the proxy's arm, getting to the back door a little faster. She opened it, not afraid to do nearly anything in this familiar setting, walking into the back parking lot with Belle. She seemed a lot more eager to go now that she wasn't fearing for their safety.
❝ but running is good for the heart or something like that. ❞
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡 as she allowed nicole to pull her along & through random play before reaching the outside once again. the moment her eyes landed on her stumpy little van, a wave of relief washed over her because, for a moment, she was afraid her brother might’ve taken it for a ride somewhere, & belle was not in the mood to be taking public transit after her dumb stunt back there ⸻ but maybe with the tension on her legs that cause them to wobble a bit was an indicator that perhaps it was best to have someone else do the driving.
. . .
nah.
𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭, belle then unlocked the driver’s door before glancing sideways towards the pink haired girl with amusement dancing in her still exhausted eyes as a click of her tongue hinted at slight teasing.
❝ you are riding shotgun, right .ᐣ.ᐣ or are you gonna treat me like a peasant driving miss princess around from the backseat .ᐣ.ᐣ ❞
𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞 & opened that door instead, giving a comical bow & an exaggerated gesture to usher nicole into slipping inside as she held the door open for her.
❝ after you, milady. we shall go on a journey to find the most greasiest, unhealthy food possible to satisfy your hunger. ❞
;-- imagine if papago extracted the broken memories of shunguang . . . like wouldn't that make it near impossible to transverse through incomplete, erasure of information ? would it be able to replicate empty spaces and turn them into like the backrooms where it builds what it believes goes in a certain sectors but it isn't quite right ? or would it be complete patches of nothing that stretches for miles until the next segment is formulated ? ughhhh i love papago bro
;-- in my lore, shepherd is like the adopted proxy broker father figure of belle and wise who assisted them back when they were teens and starting off their proxy business. he hated their asses but grew fond of them throughout the years. he still won't admit to it tho but he is very proud of them and how far they've come.
bonus: this man has hired assassins to get rid of people who were hot on phaethon's tracks at some point, but neither sibling knows about it. he don't play around.
;-- so i tried the new mode out finally and uhhhhh
yeah eous you're gonna have to wait for a bit buddy ummm idk make friends with the doggy. tame him. make him your bitch. ride on his back and rule the hollow. i believe in you.

There was a surgical grace to their work. It required minute precision whether through blunt force trauma, piercing bullets or the howling damnation of a blade forged from the Sun of Helios. Compared to the more wild, agitated state of the Ethereals losing their footing, the group of warriors braving Scamall Hollow's dominion were making their declaration. It made the rampant noise seethe with another branch of awareness, as if those eyes the abyss were gradually honing upon them as more of etheric 'children' were slain.
Lighter registered the smoky wisps of shadow that immediately drew back towards their liege. It quickly made him snap to attention as the scorpion like tail of it outlying foe found itself cracked and crushed in the Outlaw's grip. The situation found itself quickly surveyed, pinpoint details captured from Pyrois' positioning, Belle's recognition as the demand of gunfire led to their opponent's agony and a central moment of being stunned. Even now, a tinge of the Other's recognition rings in his ear, as if it smoothed beyond normal hearing and communicates into his natural melody.
Time to move.
"On it!"
A familiar, clattering, rail track echoed as he naturally harmonized further with the intensity of his W-Engine. More of that white noise cleared and it led to a dangerous, heightened clarity as Lighter's shadow fell upon that exposed Ethereal like a blight. It hardly had time to register the coronet of heat focused above, as for a fleeting second that Red Scarf burned viscerally, having like a smoking mantle around the Champion's neck as his gauntlet was fed a fresh shot of Etheric power and song. It was the urgency in Phaethon's call that prompted a higher level of aggression as the now skybound Champion descended, a meteoric fist positioned true.
Those golden spikes seamlessly catalyzed the power into a flaming crown, and the impact, the raw nature of that hit was enough to make their opposition not even feel it. It was a quick but destructive death, the raw nature of pyrotechnics and raw strength leading to it being explosively driven into a grave. Raw waves of dust expand outward as the cobblestone street seized by this particular Hollow was caved in. The body was treated like a drill, pure momentum forcing it through the ground and out of the opposing side of the construct, leading the fading chromatics to simply fall off to the storm belt.
There was nothing left but a gaping hole left as the proof of the aftermath, a gaping, searing remnant being silently stitched together by the haunting melodies of Scamall as Lighter's figure found itself appearing out from the surrounding haze. The whirling stir of his gauntlet began to calm, familiar gears smoothing back into place as the sharp look remains behind his shades.
Even after something so ridiculous, that composure remains, a Champion's readiness now at Phaethon's beck and call.
"Did cleaning out the 'house' rid of the distortion noise for your pathmaking? ..Troublesome as it is to say it, it almost feels like these damn things are protective about any secrets involving Helios here." It leaves him contemplative as the howling winds wash over the surroundings again.
"But it also shows we're on track for finding answers that you've been looking for."
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐢𝐫, dust & pulverized ether. having witnessed the outer ring’s champion in action multiple times, belle’s immediate reaction after sending her order was to instinctively cling onto pyrois to avoid her much frail body from being flung around like a ragdoll as it had done so in the past ⸻ even way back when she used to pilot eous, & the poor bangboo would desperately hang onto whatever rigged surface he can get his little knob hands on. of course, it was of no surprise that the etheric other would have her covered on that front as well as they would hold her closer to avoid that same conclusion while he stood there, taking the brunt force of the shockwave as though it was merely a gust of wind.
𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 & 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝, pyrois carefully kneeled down to allow his master to regain her footing upon ( almost ) solid ground. the proxy swiped at her sleeves to try & remove any debris that may have fallen on her before turning her attention towards lighter who appeared just as cool as she saw him back when he took down an entire gang all by himself. all that was needed was the casting of the setting sun to peer from behind him to give him that unearthly glow, & she could swear he’d fit the perfect role of a superhero emerging from the depths of darkness to bring back the light.
& his half naked self would also do wonders, but she digressed.
❝ i think you sent that thing through all circles of hell. i swear, every time you fight, you just keep getting stronger. ❞
𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬 as belle rested the base of her weapon against her shoulder as she looked between both combatants with a sense of pride & comfort in knowing she was in capable hands. pyrois said nothing as they crossed their arms though the earlier ‘compliment’ hadn’t been ignored entirely by his current leash holder, which prompted the young woman to raise her eyebrows knowingly.
𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, allowing her to hone in on the hollow exhaling as though they had just relieved it from parasites upsetting its ‘stomach’ but only for a fleeting moment. scamall’s song crept back to surface momentarily ⸻ the silence hadn’t lasted long enough, & those golden irises resurfaced to accommodate the new data streaming through.
surreal - alice madness returns
❝ you punched a pretty big hole through the blockage surrounding the flow. we got a clear route now but not a safe one. ❞
but when has anything involving phaethon ever been?
𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧, bringing her rifle back in active position facing down. for a moment, the name helios echoed memories that have suddenly been far too vivid as of late, memories she would much rather hide in the deepest corners of her mind. yes, she wanted to find answers ⸻ both her & wise did ⸻ but she was . . . scared . . . scared of the truths that stalked her waking & sleeping moments. but she was grateful that she had a companion nearby who understood a large chunk of what she was dealing with instead of someone who only knew face value details.
she wanted to ask why he would care this much to have come all the way to roscalifer & to scamall hollow of all places, but that conversation would be best saved for another time when it was easier on the heart.
belle readjusted her focus across the vast space of etheric minefield with pyrois standing ready in wait as he could already tell which path they were going to have to take by instincts alone : not a safe route indeed.
❝ alright, so platforms are out of the question up ahead. we’re going to need to grind our way to the other side & unless you’re a certain blue hedgehog, we’re gonna need to depend on pyrois for this one. ❞
