All of the Pieces in Place

-Reality-

Natalia tried to keep a brave face. They were running out of time.  They were going to need to try and hurry this up. The other angels were trying to keep it together. She didn’t know how much longer they could take. Baby Doll looked like she was about to faint. Izumi had to try and hold her up. So far only Max was the only back. He held onto her shoulder with all of his might. Still, it wasn’t enough. Natalia clicked her tongue.

She was going to have to try and make this work. There just needed to be more manpower. But first she had to try and get the others up.

“Are you still with me, Max?” Natalia asked.

“Yeah!” he said with a pant.

“You’re going to have to stay with me, okay?” the angel asked. Max opened his mouth to speak.

“Don’t talk. Just nod,” Natalia said. The man closed his mouth and nodded. Natalia cleared her throat.

“Good, just hang on!” she said. Max didn’t speak as he held on. It still wasn’t enough. It didn’t help that they were running out of time.

-Dreamscape-

Masayuki can’t stop moving. Maybe he can feel that time was running out too. The boy couldn’t focus on that right now. All that he had was Max and the angels guiding him. The blue mark on his hand seemed to be the only thing guide him. Still it isn’t enough.

It just now that he realized that he is not alone.

Don’t look back! Just keep going!

That little voice kept yelling out in his head. Masayuki’s eyes grew wide.

Max?

He’s going to kill you. You have to get out of here.

What are you talking about? Who’s trying to kill me? He felt a small hand grab onto his. Masayuki felt himself floating away. He didn’t get a chance to say anything. The blue on his hand started to glow. The boy looked at the hand holding his. Looked like he had no choice but to follow along to maybe find Baby Doll’s soul shard trapped in that place.

-Memories-

The children can tell that something is wrong. Masayuki isn’t supposed to be there in their timelines. If he doesn’t get to his world, they will all die. He isn’t the only threat to their world.

He can see where they their interloper is going. For now, he can’t touch Masayuki. But how long before that changed? The children are gearing up to fight back. But it’s not going to be enough. They are all going to need a higher power. However, they too realize that time is running out. The children are going to have act fast before everything crashes around them.

-Everywhere-

Reality, the dreamscape, and the memories. The screws just keep tightening as time ticks away. Something has to give.

It only takes one snap for such a thing to happen.
