Jacob looked around confused to find himself in the secondary mind space and then a familiar face came into view.

"Luni? Is that really you?" he exclaimed and rushed forward but before he could do anything Luni raised a hand and gave him a sad smile.

"You can't touch me, this is just a dream." he said softly and Jacob stopped, his face falling.

"He....he said he r... Ripped you apart" he whispered, looking at the floor as he tried to stop himself tearing up.

Luni sighed "Unfortunately he was telling the truth but let's not dwell on that. The reason you're here is because you almost completely depleted all of your energy."

Jacob winced as Luni fixed him with a glare. "I couldn't think of any other way to stall him. I managed to get information out of him too."

"Although that's true the price you've paid for it is heavy indeed. In fact you're incredibly lucky to be alive right now." Luni said in a disapproving tone.

There was a moment of silence as Jacob looked down at the floor, his mind racing.

"Preston is planning something big. I'm not sure what but when you wake up you have to stop him." Luni said after a while, his face serious.

"How are you even here? How do you know this?" Jacob asked, looking up at Luni with a confused expression.

"I used a lot of my energy to get you to safety and I'm guessing that because you used nearly all of your own, that the left over parts of my own were absorbed enough for this conversation to take place. This is a one time thing though."

Jacob closed his eyes as his shoulders shook, trying to hold back his sorrow at knowing he'd never be able to talk to Luni again after this.

"I'm sorry, for everything." he murmured "I shouldn't have brought him to you and Unwin. Neither of you should have died. It's all my fault."

Small sobs broke from his lips as he sank to the floor, holding his hands over his face. Luni looked down at him with tears running down his own face.

"he would have gotten round to it eventually, neither me or Unwin blame you in the slightest. In fact if you weren't there I doubt either of us would have been motivated enough to fight so hard against him. We knew we had to protect you and so we gave it our all."

Jacob took a few breaths and said "You can't really mean that, I've been nothing but horrible to you and Unwin for as long as I can remember. You shouldn't have given up your lives for me."

Luni took a seat next to Jacob with a sigh. "Look at it this way, if the situation had been reversed and it was Unwin laying on the bed, injured and exhausted, what would you have done when Preston made an appearance?"

Jacob went silent as he thought about that. While he and Unwin never saw eye to eye he doubted whether he would have been able to just stand by and let Preston do what he did best. Unwin was an asshole but Jacob had never wanted him dead.

Luni had a knowing expression on his face when Jacob eventually opened his eyes to look at him. "See? So don't blame yourself for that fuckos actions."

"wait, you said something about Preston planning something big, how do you know that?" Jacob asked.

Luni scowled "He now has a large amount of energy due to him absorbing mine, with all that energy he can do things he couldn't before. With his new found power and the fact you're still alive, I'm guessing he's realised what he can do. When you wake up you have to try and stop him. Whatever he's planning will more than likely cause massive problems for everyone, including poor Thomas."

Jacob struggled to take in everything that was said but when he had, a determined expression appeared on his face. "I'll put a stop to his plan if it's the last thing I do."

Luni rolled his eyes "That's probably not the best way to phrase it Jakey boy."

Jacob groaned at the nickname but said "look at it this way, if I stop him then that's great but if I die in the process then I get to see you and Unwin again."

Luni raised an eyebrow at that. "That does not mean you should throw yourself into the situation with no regard for your safety."

The surrounding area began to blur slightly and Luni's voice became echoey. "You're waking up. Promise you'll think before you act."

Jacob grinned as Luni glared at him "I will think before I act. I always do."

"that doesn't comfort me."Luni said as he began to fade and things began to get dark.

"Goodbye Luni." Jacob said softly and then everything went black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Logan and Patton were still wrapped up in each other's arms, holding each other tightly like there was a possibility one of them would vanish at any second.

Neither of them noticed when Deciet twitched slightly and began to wake up. Not until Deciet hissed out "Son of a bitch!"

Logan pulled away from Patton and spun round to see Deciet trying to sit up, his hand clapped over his eye.

"D... Deciet? You're awake!" he exclaimed and rushed over.

"ugh, yeah I'm awake, what the hell happened to my eye?" Deciet groaned.

"Well, P...Preston stabbed you before Virgil blasted him away from you and I healed it as best I could but although I stopped the bleeding I couldn't fix your eye completely." Logan explained as Deciet ran a finger over his face with a wince.

"Where's Virgil?" Deciet asked, worry evident in his tone.

"He went to go help Roman with Thomas. Preston stabbed one of the walls in the emotion room and Thomas went unresponsive. I've only just managed to get Patton to come out of his shocked state."

Deciets good eye flitted over to Patton who he noticed looked very pale and shaky. "Where's Preston?" he asked, remembering the weird dream he'd had with Luni in it.

Logan shifted nervously. "well, uh, we don't exactly know. He kind of vanished."

"damn it." Deciet muttered under his breath and he pushed himself to his feet, ignoring the protests of Logan.

"Deciet! You shouldn't be getting up just yet, you need to rest. I can't just stand by and..mmph."

Deciet grinned at Logan who was glaring at him with a hand clamped over his mouth. "First things first Logan, you can call me Jacob, you've earned that at this point. Secondly as you can see I've had plenty of rest to have my energy restored enough that I can still use my abilities. Thirdly I'm not sitting around waiting for Preston to get the jump on me."

Patton had managed to get to his feet and opened his mouth to say something but Deciet just waved his other hand so both Logan and Patton had their hands clamped over their mouths.

"I'm going to go find Preston and put a stop to whatever he's planning. You two are welcome to go get the other two and try to help but I'm not waiting. He must be stopped."

Deciet walked out of the room, waving his hand so Logan and Patton could speak again but not listening to their cries for him to come back. He had a job to do and nothing but death would stop him now.

I've managed to find my motivation again and hopefully I can keep getting chapters out. I did end up having a bit of a breakdown yesterday but I'm hoping to use that to help me write more.

Also if you follow my One-shots you probably know I said I'd write more fluff but I'm not really in the mood for fluff so expect some angst and stuff when I get round to finishing anything.
