It was so bright.

Purple, Orange, and a hint of a handsome Azure

All swirled together to create such a magnificent sight, it was beautiful. It didn't matter how cold it was, it was so much better than being down there again with all the noise and all the... screaming.

It had happened quite too suddenly, penguins sipping from their mugs and then... Gosh, he didn't know when the screaming started to happen, but Mint had seen that thing, wrapping itself around the penguin before it all to hell. He knew that he wasn't being paid enough to deal with this.

Deescalate the situation, try to get things back to normal... And then a thick black thing threw him out. He was sure done for it, expecting to feel the dull web-like pain of hitting a wall. Shutting his eyes as Mint's mind quickly pace through the idea of how he was going to pay for a hospital or if it was going to be instant as soon as the impact happened.

And yet that never came.

"PRISM MAGIC!! METAMORPHOSE!!"

It was warm the next moment, it was fine, it was okay. It felt familiar in a way but the fear of dying decided to settle right there as he held tightly onto those strong arms, glistening in the light that came from the person. His eyes glanced down, whoever this was, it was taller than and not a penguin.

"I'm sorry that I spoiled your grand entrance, but I will not forgive you for destroying such beautiful photos!!"

Mint wanted to protest, to be put down before this crazy seal did anything else. It was like music was playing around them, holding both a large sword made out of crystal and the penguin, the glowing seal jumped, and Mint was sure that he had seen some awesome kicks that could put anyone out in a second.

They were out of the establishment after the penguin with large tentacles threw them through the window. The rebound had shaken him enough, but the seal had enough momento to swiftly land with his heavy boots into the snow.

"Wait, wait! What the hell are you doing!"

"That precious dream that you turned to charcoal, I will make it shine again! I ask you to prepare yourself." The sword went first as he jumped to attack again, the glow getting brighter and brighter.

"I'm going to catch you! I just have to finish this!!"

Mint couldn't scream or at least didn't hear himself doing it as the seal threw him up into the sky. He went up long enough to see the seal twirling up before shouting something that just didn't make sense.

"I told you I was going to catch you."

It shone bright, and it kept getting brighter and brighter...

The loud sparkly explosion finished the attack, Mint was breathing heavily, looking at the seal and the sunset. And how warm and nice it was to be in those arms and how scary the whole thing was. So many things went through his mind, and yet he only spoke once.

"Yeah... You got me."
