Chapter 31. Devil's Torture Chamber

I had no idea what was going down next but I didn't want to be here. "Nico, your sort this out, I'll go find the others with JJ." I said to Nico with a nod, she nodded as well.

"I was going to suggest the same thing. Now go." She said before I went and grabbed JJ and we were off.

"Where would they be?" JJ asked me and I thought about it.

"If I had to guess somewhere to do with the Gibb church." I said to him before we all went to church. In a way I guess. I saw some church followers but it was just easier to try and find them but there was no one there. I saw that they weren't there.

"There not here, so where are else could they be?" JJ asked me, I saw that guy from earlier again.

"It's ok, I'm going to take you to your friends." He said to me before he held me and JJ. I was then back at the Hostel.

"I'm Tandy, this is Ty. We're just tagging along to prevent a dimensional cataclysm." Tandy said to us once we got back.

"And we know how it feels to lose someone you love." Ty said to us before we all started talking over each other.

"The only thing stopping us from rescuing Alex was that we couldn't get back. We're back." Nico said to us, everyone was here apart from Molly.

"What about Molly? We don't even know is she's safe back at the church." Gert said to us, I'd go back and I know that JJ would as well,

"Pretty sure the Church is safer than a dimension of our nightmares." Chase said to us, Molly could be safe as long as they weren't doing things to her.

"Alex needs us now, so if you don't wanna help, then...Ty will take you back." Nico said to us, I looked at her and she knew I wanted to go back.

"No, no, no, it doesn't work that way." Tandy said to us, so where we stuck here.

"What she means is, there's a cost. I couldn't just jump right now anyway, not after dragging us all here." Ty said to her, we had no choice but to stay.

"We're here. I say we keep going." Chase said to us all.

"Fine. But if anyone tries to mindwipe me again, I'm out." Gert said to us all.

"I'm sorry what are your powers again?" Tandy asked us and I looked at her.

"Me and my brother have telekinesis, we can also create illusions that seem really to other people." I said to her with a smile, I then looked at Chase.

"Oh, uh, I got these supercool bionic prosthetic gauntlets called Fistigons. That aren't here." Chase said to them with a smile, he was so proud of them.

"I am physically linked to a dinosaur who is also not here." Gert said to her with a smile.

"Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool. At least three of you guys has some firepower." Tandy said while looking at Karolina, JJ and I.

"Uh, extraterrestrial abilities and serum generated abilities, don't work in here, so uh, They're..." Nico said while looking at us.

"Powerless. As usual. Let's go." Karolina said to all of us.

"I'll wait here just in case Alex manages to find a way through. And so I can train without these goddamn powers." I said to them getting a nod from Nico. JJ and I then went upstairs to fight. Well to practice on it more and after we did, we managed to shift into Alex's nightmare. This wasn't going to be an easy fight. I saw that everyone was gathered in another building it was time to head in. We managed to find Ty and he took us to the others. The magician was there but he was dead.

"That sounds terrible." Chase said to us.

"You can say that again." I said to him before Quinton vanished.

"Where the hell is he? Where'd he go?" Ty asked but he was gone, maybe he went back to Alex. He then kept appearing and disappearing, we were all fighting him as good as we could. Before Nico was fighting on her own.

"Look out! Ty, get back!" Gert shouted before Ty was launched against the wall.

"Ty, hey." Tandy said before going over to him. It wasn't long until the same happened to me. I put my hand to my head.

"Hey, your okay. It's nothing." Someone said to me.

"Who are you?" I asked him, I felt like he was familiar.

"Y/n, don't play with me. It's JJ your brother." He said to me, but I didn't know who he was. I saw someone with purple hair look at me.

"Y/n, you can't be forgetting to." She said to me. But I was I take it. I saw Quinton take ahold of Karolina. I saw Nico looked destroyed already.

"Tandy, a dagger." Nico said before she got a dagger. "Let go of her!" Nico shouted before stabbing him and he was gone.

"That was so bad-ass." Karolina said back to her. I just wanted to go home. "Let's go! This place will never let us go. I'm sorry." Nico said before we started running. "Come on, we're free!" Nico shouted.

"Go, go, go!" Ty shouted before we made it into the hallway.

"How did that door get unlocked?" Nico asked us, I had no idea.

"It's almost like someone's let us out." Gert said to us, maybe Alex did.

"And where are the soldiers?" Karolina asked us all.

"They just vanished." I said to her.

"No, I-I'm thinking no murderous Dark Dimension soldiers is a good thing. Let's just find Alex and get the hell out of here." Nico said before we took off again calling for him. "Alex!" Nico said once we'd found him. "Are you okay?" She asked him.

"Now I am." He said to us all, that was good.

"Um...Alex. Do you remember us?" Gert asked him, he better had.

"Course I remember you guys. But...I don't remember them. Should I know them?" Alex asked us, while looking at Ty and Tandy.

"No. No, no, no. We just came along to help." Tandy said to him.

"Where are the guards?" Nico asked him.

"I was just kind of escaping on my own, but I appreciate the backup. It's gonna be hard to get out of this building alive, and it's a hike back up to the mansion." Alex said to us, but it would only take us a matter of seconds.

"Actually, I think I got you." Ty said to us all.

"You remember?" Tandy asked him.

"Sort of." He replied to her.

"Not super reassuring." Chase said to him.

"So you have a better idea, right?" He asked Chase, he didn't.

"No, no. I'm cool with the hoodie thing." Chase said to him with a smile.

"Everybody hold hands." Ty said and we all did.

"Wait." Tandy said before we taken back to the mansion. I saw her look at Alex. "We gotta go back." She said to us, I was confused.

"What are you talking about?" Nico asked her.

"Is some thing wrong?" I asked her confusedly.

"Him. I saw his hopes, they weren't good." She said to him, what if he was still the son.

"Look, I don't know what you think you saw, okay, but I just spent months locked up in a soul-sucking hellhole, so- -" Alex started saying but she cut him off.

"No. No, no, no. What I saw was- -" Tandy started she was really spooked.

"Alex can be a little...standoffish." Chase said to her, but that wasn't the issue.

"No, if Tandy says he's a problem, he is." Ty said to us, this wasn't Alex.

"Let's just hear her out." Karolina said to us all.

"I agree." I said to them.

"No, we're not sending him back. We all just almost died getting him out." Nico said to us all.

"Maybe you saw some Dark Dimension version of me. Okay? Minds...kind of get broken over there. Now that I'm back, I'm fine. Okay? Trust me. It's not like...it's not like I played a One With Nothing Card and then got Mind Flayered, okay? If I did that, then you'd have to send me on back there. It's a Magic: The Gathering reference. You guys don't...you two haven't played. Missing out." He said to us all, that was definitely an Alex thing.

"It's definitely Wilder. We're good." Chase said to him, maybe we were lucky this time.

"What's been happening since I've been gone?" Alex asked us, a lot had.

"It's a thin place. The dark worlds seeping through." Ty said to us, I know who this had to do with.

"Yeah, it's Morgan. She knew we were over there. Which means...she probably knows we're back." Nico said before I heard a phone beep.

"Good news. We were only gone for eight hours. I have no idea how time works over there, but at least Molly hasn't been alone for the last six months." Gert said to us, we could still get to her.

"Um, Tandy and I should go, you know, make sure these poppies aren't showing up outside of L.A. too." Ty said to us, I then walked upstairs. I wanted to change before going to say goodbye. To Ty and Tandy. I managed to catch them before they left.

"So...what do we do know." Chase said to us, wasn't it obvious.

"We find Molly. And then...we save the world." Nico said to us, that would be easier said than done. This was going to impossible.
