The process

Rips POV…

Velvet and I were standing in the kitchen talking about the gem while she examines it really closely. She checks for scratches, chips, smudges trying to see if she can figure out exactly what this thing was.

Velvet~ So this is what you found? I'll admit it does look familiar but I can't fully recall what it is. There isn't a mark or anything that can help me identify this thing.

Rip~ So you can't help us?

Velvet~ I can't say that, I do have an idea of what it could be but I don't know for sure. Have you had any weird experiences with this?

Rip~ Just last night Twilight and I experienced some sort of lucid dream at least I think that's what it was. It only happens when we touch it and it wasn't like we had our own dream. We both ended up with the same dream. I'm sorry if I'm not much help by the way, I don't really understand everything that happened last night.

Velvet~ It's ok I wouldn't expect you to know and what you just told me helps me a lot believe it or not. Ok, to fully know what this is I need to test it myself. Rip, whatever you see, don't move my hand from this thing. Unless you hear or see some sort of indication from me telling you to help me then don't do anything that involves my hand coming off of this gem.

Rip~ Ok I understand, I wouldn't understand why you would go through with it but I'll trust you.

Velvet~ Here we go I guess.

Velvet places her hand on the gem and instantly loses control of her consciousness. I saw her standing there with little to no emotion being shown from her. It was almost as if she wasn't allowed to feel unless the gem gave her a reason to feel. I wanted to remove her hand from the gem right there and then but no matter what happened she told me I couldn't. I thought at least something minor was happening in her head because there was most likely a reason as to why she decided to go through with this so I left her alone. Minutes later Velvet got on both her knees and started to cry a little while breathing heavily she then began to bang on the kitchen counter multiple times using the hand that was free from the gem and started screaming.

Velvet~ AH!

Rip~ Ummmm… Velvet?

Velvet~ Help me… get me out of here!

At that point I knew she needed to get out of what she was experiencing. I pulled her hand right off the gem causing her to nearly blackout but at least she regained some of her consciousness. She also almost collapsed but thankfully I was there to stop her from doing so. It was a bit of a hassle but I managed to get her on the couch in her living room and got her a bottle of water to regain herself for a bit.

Rip~ That looked really rough, what happened?

Velvet~ I was chained, I was burned, I was cut, I was beat… I was tortured. Now I know what it is and honestly I wish you never found it.

Rip~ What is that thing?

Velvet~ It's a lucid stone. It's something that was used to torture our enemies long ago. It was before the Owls turned over a new leaf. I never understood why but I didn't think much of it at the time. These stones are really rare and anyone who had one also abused them. What was that doing in that boy's house?

Rip~ I don't know, I didn't even know what it was until you just told me. What are they supposed to do?

Velvet~ They're used to send important messages through lucid realms or mentally torture others. The thing is only three of these were ever discovered so it's not like everyone was using them. Only the ones who had money and power had one of these back then and only relatives were allowed to keep it if the current owner of it passed away.

Rip~ Then how did Flash have it? He's not an Owl or Rogue.

Velvet~ I don't know but all I can say is that Donny can't know about this. No matter what, you have to keep this a secret from everyone. This is a really dangerous artifact that you found and anyone could take it from you and use it for negative purposes. The stone is staying here with me and that's that.

Rip~ Wait! Can you tell me anything else about it?

Velvet~ Not much, all I can say now is I'm glad it's not in the wrong hands. Don't worry about this, you have more important things to think about anyway. All that should be in your mind is saving Dante. You go on and enjoy your day and remember to never tell a single soul about this. I'll talk to Twilight about it later tonight.

Rip~ *sigh* If it's really that dangerous then I'll keep it a secret.

Velvet~ Good, I'll be out of the house for the day. I have some important errands to run and I can't put them off any later. Tell Twilight I'll be back in a few hours.

Rip~ Alright I'll let her know and again I'm really sorry about what happened between you and I.

Velvet~ It's alright, just think before you react.

Velvet leaves and Rip heads to Twilight's room. When he got there she was still asleep but Rip knew he had to wake her up this time. Without hesitation he grabbed another pillow and began to hit Twilight with it, trying to wake her up.

Rip~ Wakey, wakey! No eggs and bakey!

Twilight~ Huh!? Oh hey, How long was I out?

Rip~ About four hours and we aren't going to tell Donny about the stone.

Twilight~ Wait, Stone? And why aren't we telling him?

Rip~ I had to tell your mother about what happened. She told me that we found something really, really dangerous and we can't have possession of it.

Twilight~ But why? That could have helped us find Dante.

Rip~ I know but your mother is an Owl and has more experience than we do. If she says we can't tell anyone about it then we have to keep it a secret. Whether we like it or not, everyone except Sunset and Rarity can't know about the stone.

Twilight~ Why do you keep calling it a stone?

Rip~ I'll explain on the way to the mall right now I've had enough this morning and I want to relax like I first intended to.

Twilight~ Fine, let's head to the mall. But this time I'll drive us there so you don't have to night travel us.

Rip~ Sounds like a plan, let's go.

Twilight~ Awesome.

Twilight and I leave the house and get in the car. While heading towards the mall I couldn't get over what I saw. I wanted to tell Twilight what happened but I didn't want to worry her so I kept quiet. I just didn't want her to know what her mother experienced in her lucid dream or realm which was way more of a nightmare.

Back with Rose…

Rose~ Finally I made it back to this boring city. Now I have to find that little girl's house and get that knife back. Luckily I know where she lives so it won't take long to find her. I swear if this knife isn't in this house I might just kill her a little sooner than expected. I've done way too much traveling for this damn knife to just not be in her possession. I might as well get going the sooner I find this knife the better. Also I have to make sure I don't get spotted by anyone. I'm still on the run here and I don't want to be annoyed by pathetic police officers. Even though I can kill them all if I wanted to it's just annoying wasting precious energy on them.

Rose knows she's close to Rarity's home because her neighborhood was on the outskirts of the city which was in her range to night travel. She appears in front of Rarity's home while remaining hidden and makes sure she has the right house and not just some random person's home. After verifying the house she quickly but quietly made her way inside without getting caught. She was able to verify that someone was in the house but didn't know who exactly. Even though it was risky she cautiously made her way up the stairs and walked over to one of the rooms. The room didn't turn out to be the room she was looking for but she did find two people sitting on a bed together engaged in a conversation.

Rarity~ We've told you multiple times we aren't mad at you. Yes we are a bit upset but it's nothing like being mad.

Sweetie Belle~ I know you're not mad at me. That isn't what I'm worried about. I'm worried about the fact that I caused him to be in the hospital. His own blood was all over me… all because of my carelessness. I could have killed him… imagine living with the fact that you almost killed someone especially if it's someone your sister is really close with. Tell me, would that let you sleep well at night?

Rarity~ No… it wouldn't…

Sweetie Belle~ I don't care about what he's been through… what I did to him was unforgivable… if only I wasn't so stubborn, this wouldn't have happened. In the end it didn't even matter because the police ended up taking it away from us which was the opposite of what you wanted… it's all my fault… and I don't know what I can do to fix this.

Rose can't believe what she hears and storms out of the house and relocates herself far from the house.

Rose~ Ugh! She didn't even have the knife! For Fuck sake now I have to somehow take it back from the police but there's over three police stations in the city it'll take forever to figure out which one has it. I need help, I need Rick. I'll call him and tell him to meet me at the top of the highest building. Also I guess I can take him to the forest after this is all done. He is an Owl now so it's not like he's an outsider. Might as well call him now before it's too late.

Rose calls Rick a couple times before he actually picks up.

Over the phone…

Rick~ Rose!?

Rose~ Yes this is me.

Rick~ Where the hell have you been!? I was captured by Dante and his dumb brother for a while but I managed to escape on my own.

Rose~ Yeah that's great, Rick I need you for something. Meet me on top of the highest building in the city. Don't be late and if you are, I'm killing you. You got that?

Rick~ Alright, alright I'll be there in ten minutes.

Rose~ Good

The phone call ends and Rose night travels to the top of the highest building in the city. Being there made her remember the night she took Dante away from his friends and his brother Donny. It nearly made her shed a tear or two but she tried to not let it get to her as she turned away to look at the city from a bird's eye view. Ten minutes finally passed and Rick appeared right next to her. He walks up behind her and Taps her shoulder, getting her attention.

Rick~ I'm here, what did you need me for?

Rose~ Sit down…

Rick~ Umm… ok. What's this about?

Rose~ Do you know what this place is?

Rick~ The highest point in the city obviously.

Rose~ It's not just that… It's the place where I took Dante away from everyone. That night I left the city along with him in my arms. That's why you haven't heard from me in a while. I've been hiding from everyone and I didn't know who to trust.

Rick~ Where are you going with this?

Rose~ I tried not to let it get to me… but that night was the last night he saw his brother and now he won't even remember him anymore…

Rick~ What are you talking about?

Rose~ I erased Dante's memories… each and every one was completely wiped from his mind. That also means he doesn't know who I am and I have to remind him that I'm his mother.

Rick~ Wait so he doesn't know who I am anymore?

Rose~ No he doesn't… and before I wiped his memories he told me that I failed as a mother. After everything I put him through he has the right to say what he said… he also said he truly hopes I get sent to hell and that… I can forget I ever had a son… because he was gonna forget he ever had a mother…

Rick~ Damn… that was more than deep. That was really personal if I do say so myself. Something like that isn't just randomly thought of.

Rose~ It hurts to know that I failed as a mother… but I also have goals, goals that I plan on achieving with my son. Whether he remembers me or not I want to have it all and let Dante be right by my side when we gather as many Rogues as possible to start and build our clan.

Rick~ Sounds like a really big goal and I want to be part of it.

Rose~ Does everything have to be about you?

Rick~ You of all people shouldn't be asking anyone that question. Anyway, are you gonna tell me what you want from me?

Rose~ Fine, Dante gave his knife to someone and they had it taken from them by the police. You're the Owl here so you can move around easier while staying hidden. I mean I can travel like an Owl but stealth isn't my cup of tea. I need you to check each and every police station in the city and find that knife. When you find it, head to this location and I'll take care of the rest.

Rick~ Sounds easy enough.

Rose~ Yeah it's easier said than done.

Rick~ Whatever, I'll have that knife brought to you by tomorrow night. You just go back home and relax.

Rose~ I was gonna do that anyway. I wish you good luck mostly because you're gonna need it.

Rick~ Wait! What does the knife look like?

Rose~ It's a large bowie knife that glows purple with Dante's name on it.

Rick~ Got it, but how do you expect to get home?

Rose~ I can get back, don't worry about me. Your job right now is to retrieve that knife and bring it to me so I can give it back to Dante. Like I said, good luck.

Rose leaves the scene and night travels away while Rick starts his search for Dante's knife. Rose thought she could Night travel back to the forest from where she was but faced a minor problem. She wasn't able to fully night travel back to her home, but she was only able to make it halfway. She didn't have any more energy in her so she had to walk the rest of the way there.

Rose~ *sigh* All this traveling is a pain in my ass. I have the power to kill millions but can't make my way back home whenever I want? This is just frustrating. Rick better find and bring that knife to me. He said by tomorrow night he can bring it to me so I'll give him until nine tomorrow night. Hopefully Dante is still asleep when I get there. I already know what's gonna happen if he wakes up and finds himself in a magical forest and he doesn't even remember where he is.

Back with Rip and Twilight…

We were at the mall together just walking around and talking about anything we possibly could.

Rip~ So where does this magic of friendship mostly come from?

Twilight~ To be quite honest I don't really know that much about it. I transferred over to Canterlot High long ago to be friends with the girls and understand the magic of friendship more but I haven't picked up much from it.

Rip~ Well what were you before you were transferred?

Twilight~ I was a loner pretty much. A loner who had one goal at the time and that was to understand exactly what was going on around Canterlot High and get into my dream school. Let's just say things didn't turn out so well in the end but I was forgiven.

Rip~ Can you tell me what happened?

Twilight~ *sigh* Remember when Dante lost control that day in the school cafeteria?

Rip~ Yeah everyone remembers that day. The entire place was destroyed.

Twilight~ Think of that but hungry for more magic.

Rip~ Wait so were you the same you or did you have a different form?

Twilight~ I had a different form of myself. For the longest it tore me mentally but I was able to make that power into my own. Now she doesn't exist.

Rip~ "She"?

Twilight~ Midnight Sparkle… She was the evil version of me. Now she's nothing more but a forgotten memory.

Rip~ Wow, why does everyone have their own power but me? We've known each other for how long? Yet I haven't found my own hidden abilities yet.

Twilight~ That's right, you may be an Owl but you never did figure out what your power is.

Rip~ Yeah it got to the point where I gave up on it.

Twilight~ Don't give up, have you tried to ask your parents? Surely they have abilities of their own right?

Rip~ I've tried but they always ignored me when I ask. It's weird though because I've never seen them use any of their power or abilities of any kind. They're always way too busy to just go around and do anything out of the ordinary.

Twilight~ Maybe they don't have powers and they've been lying to you.

Rip~ I wouldn't be surprised and I wouldn't take it to heart. What matters now is that I have half of Dante's power and I intend to save him with it.

Twilight~ Same, but it is hard trying to save him when we aren't even at the level we have to be if we want to save him. Still I don't know how long something like that will take.

Rip~ Dante was strong, hell he was even stronger than Donny when he was a killer Rogue. The only reason why he never use his true strength is because he didn't want Donny to think that he was gonna kill him.

Twilight~ Yeah, when it came to power Dante outclassed everyone, even my own mother at times and she's just as smart and strong as Rose or at least I think.

Rip~ They have experience together, no doubt they have almost the same strength and intelligence as well. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Rose beat Velvet one on one, eight times out of ten.

Twilight~ It does make a little sense.

Rip~ And it'll only make even more sense the more you think about it.

Maggie~ GUYS! WHAT'S UP!?

Rip~ MAGGIE!?

Twilight~ It's been a while since we've seen you. Where's your sister?

Maggie~ Standing right behind me, she can be really shy now. It's weird because I've never seen her like this.

Laura~ Yes you have, stop lying!

Maggie~ Stop standing behind me and say hello to our friends.

Laura~ Ugh!

Maggie grabs Laura by her arm and places her in front of us. I could tell Laura didn't want to talk to anyone at all so I didn't expect her to say anything much.

Laura~ Umm… hi…

Rip~ Hey, how are y'all doing?

Laura~ The same as usual… Where's Donny?

Twilight~ Oh umm he's in the hospital. Something really bad happened to him last night and he isn't in good condition to leave when he wants.

Maggie~ Awww poor thing, what happened to him?

Rip~ Let's just say he lost a lot of blood but he'll be ok.

Laura~ Do you know how long he'll be in there?

Twilight~ We wish we did but sadly we don't. I do expect him to be there for at least a month.

Rip~ Or he could heal like sunset did. Remember when sunset was in the hospital and she recovered faster than expected?

Twilight~ I remember, nobody could point out why though, not even the doctors could put their finger on it.

Laura~ Heh I think I know someone that can explain what happened.

Laura looked towards Maggie with a really smug look. I saw Maggie start to shake and she was avoiding eye contact with us. At that point I knew that she knew something about Sunset's recovery and I wanted answers.

Rip~ Maggie, you know something and I know you know something.

Maggie~ What are you talking about?

Rip~ Come on, nobody needs a highschool education to see that you're hiding something. You know something about Sunset's recovery and I want to know what it is.

Twilight~ Is this true? Have you been hiding something from us?

Maggie~ Uhhh…

Laura~ *sigh* It was only a matter of time.

Maggie~ That time would have been longer if you had just kept your mouth shut.

Laura~ I was the one who told you to tell them in the first place.

Twilight~ Tell us about what?

Laura~ Maggie can do more than just examine injuries. There's a reason why she wants to work in the medical field.

Rip~ What is that said reason? Just tell us already.

Maggie~ Well… I can't keep it to myself anymore… Long ago before Sunset was hospitalized I found out about something I had and never told anyone except Laura.

Rip~ What did you find out?

Maggie~ I can do more than just examine human and supernatural injuries with ez. I found out I can slowly heal anyone or anything I can touch. Dogs, cats, humans… Night Owls and Rogues. After confirming this I figured I should help Sunset so I snuck into the hospital and her room. I helped her by slowly healing her as the days went by. I can't tell you how I did it because to be honest I never had a plan. I just walked in and made sure nobody was around.

Rip~ Wait so you mean to tell us that you can fix any broken bone or torn organ you choose?

Maggie~ Headaches, joint and nerve pain, broken bones, anything at all. Of course it's a slow process. I'm still getting used to it so I need to practice in order to get better at it.

Twilight~ This is amazing! This means you could help Donny.

Maggie~ How bad is he hurt?

Twilight~ You have to see for yourself. We don't know how to explain it.

Maggie~ Can you take us there?

Rip~ Sure we can and I'm pretty sure we can go back now. We tried to visit him this morning but we couldn't get in. Everyone hold hands, I'll night travel us there.

Everyone held one another's hand as I concentrated on getting us to the hospital. It was really difficult at first because I had never night traveled with three other people before. In the end I managed to get everyone including myself inside the hospital but I was sorta tired from the amount of energy I used. I was at least able to stand up and walk but I couldn't run for the life of me.

Rip~ Wow, now I understand Dante's struggle. How does he do this with such ez?

Twilight~ I have no idea but I did know that this exact thing happened when he night traveled us all that one time.

Rip~ Maybe I shouldn't overestimate my capabilities.

Laura~ So where's Donny's room?

Rip~ Let's check in first then we can start heading towards his room. Before we go into his room I do want to warn you that what you're going to see can be a little graphic.

Maggie~ We've seen a lot of terrible things. Trust us when we say it's ok.

Rip~ Alright, let's go then.

We check in at the front desk then make our way towards Donny's room. It was a long walk but soon we made it to Donny's room and entered.

Maggie~ DONNY! YOU'RE OK!

Maggie gives Donny a big hug.

Donny~ Heh i'm glad to see you too, you as well Laura. What are you two doing here?

Laura~ Rip and Twilight told us about what happened to you and brought us here.

Twilight~ We were gonna visit earlier but we couldn't.

Donny~ They were examining my arms. They don't allow visitors during those times. They said my arms are in really bad condition and can take at least a month to start healing.

Laura~ It's that bad huh?

Donny~ The wounds are deep… I could feel the blade glide across the bone inside one of my arms. I just hope they can heal completely…

Rip~ Well I'm sure they will especially because Maggie could possibly help you.

Donny~ What are you talking about?

Maggie~ You see… There was a reason as to why Sunset was able to recover quicker than expected. I kept this a secret but… I slowly healed her on my own.

Donny~ You can heal others now?

Maggie~ Yes but I can't heal anyone in seconds for right now the process is slow because I need practice. We were hoping if it's ok that I help heal you while you're stuck here for the time being.

Donny~ Honestly I wouldn't mind but what if something happens?

Laura~ Trust me when I say nothing will happen. As slow as she may be right now I know that she knows what she's doing.

Twilight~ Don't forget we still have to find time to get back to training. If we're gonna do that efficiently then we need you to be back in action as soon as possible.

Rip~ Twilight and I can learn some minor things about ourselves no problem but we need you to help us push right through our limits.

Maggie~ Donny please, I promise you you'll be ok though the entire process. I just need you to give me a chance.

We all saw Donny contemplate on whether or not he should go through with the healing process. Donny looked at me, then at Twilight and Laura and lastly at Maggie. He then turned away and gazed at his arms. He tried to move them but the pain was too much to bear. Without any more hesitation he turned to Maggie and let her take the wheel on this one.

Donny~ Go for it, at least the pain in my arms will go away faster.

Maggie~ I'll get started right now just sit back and relax as I start the healing process. Also I need to have the wounds exposed in order for this to work to its fullest potential. You don't have to take off the bandages but it is recommended.

Donny~ I'll take them off but I don't want any of you to freak out when you see my arms.

Laura~ Wait, you mean nobody knows what they look like?

Donny~ Only Rarity and her sister know because they were there when it happened.

Rip~ I've seen a lot of terrible things growing up so a few wounds won't phase me.

Twilight~ It'll bother me a little but it won't completely scare me.

Donny~ Well if that's the case then Maggie, can you help me take these bandages off?

Maggie~ No problem.

Twilight, Laura, and I stood together as we watched Donny and Maggie take off the bandages wrapped around Donny's arms. For the first time we saw how bad his injuries really were… his arms were completely slashed… in fact I thought I saw some of his bones from where I was standing. From the way he described it, I thought it was really serious but not as serious as what we all saw. Maggie got up in complete shock and backed away from his bed a bit. Twilight was completely scared and stood behind me trying to hide and Laura was as tough as nails but still surprised.

Laura~ Damn… just… damn…

Maggie~ You said you could see the bone in one of your arms. They're completely slashed open…

Donny~ I'm guessing you're having second thoughts about this?

Maggie~ No, not at all. I know I can help you but this will take a lot longer than I thought. Sunset healed in months and nothing in her was torn. In your case you have two arms that are unusable right now. At least Sunset could still eat, drink water and walk around. There is one positive in this, your arms aren't all that bloody so that makes this a lot more clean than expected.

Rip~ So what's the plan?

Maggie~ Start the process and heal Donny. Besides, it's been a while since the three of us were in the same room together. We can also take the time to catch up. Actually that reminds me, Donny where have you been living all this time?

Donny~ Oh… Ummmmm… you see… I've been living nowhere actually. The city is my home because I spend almost all my time there so I choose to stay outside.

Rip~ Why though? You have a place with Laura and Maggie. Let's not forget Dante's old house. I remember they had a room for you. What happened to that?

Donny~ It's just… I don't want to talk about it… can we just start the healing process?

Maggie~ Yes, of course we can.

Laura~ I'll be here for her in case she needs anything. I'm sure you two have plans today.

Twilight~Yeah, we'll leave you to it. Come on Rip, let's go see what the others are up to.

Rip~ Alright, we have to head back to the mall though because that's where your car is.

Twilight~ Kinda figured that.

Rip~ Alright hold on tight.

Twilight grabs my hand as I night travel us to the mall parking lot right by the last place we left the car. When we got back in the car Twilight started it then proceeded to drive out of the parking lot and away from the mall heading towards one of our friends' houses. It was three hours past noon and we noticed we were close to Rainbow's house. We both decided to stop there and see what she was up to. After we stopped in front of her house and parked the car we walked up to her door and slightly knocked. A minute went by and we were let in the house after Rainbow answered.

Rip~ Sup Rainbow

Rainbow~ Hey Rip, hey Twilight.

Twilight~ Hi, what have you been up to today?

Rainbow~ I was gonna go to Rip's house so we could hang out together.

Rip~ I guess I surprised you then, heh.

Rainbow~ Yeah but enough about me what have you two been doing today?

Twilight~ Well we just came back from the hospital.

Rip~ We ran into Maggie and Laura at the mall and filled them in on the news about Donny. We had to take them there anyway after finding out about Maggie's secret. Even though it's not a secret anymore.

Rainbow~ What is it exactly?

Rip~ Apparently she's the reason why Sunset healed faster than we all expected.

Twilight~ Late at night she would sneak into the hospital, get past the front desk, and sneak into her room then slowly heal Sunset.

Rainbow~ How did you find out?

Twilight~ Laura I guess indirectly told us then kinda made Maggie confess. But other than the secret when we got there and walked them to his room they were happy to see him again.

Rainbow~ Well it's awesome that they're happy. It just surprises me because I thought they would have known about what happened by now after all he does live with them.

Rip~ Not exactly, apparently he doesn't live anywhere but on the streets. Nobody knows why, not even Maggie and Laura themselves.

Twilight~ And when we asked him why he told us he didn't want to talk about it.

Rainbow~ Maybe it's a really sensitive topic and he couldn't bring himself to talk about it? Normally that's the case for many scenarios like this one.

Rip~ Maybe but one thing is for sure I'm not gonna force him to talk about something he doesn't want to talk about. It's the respectful thing to do. Until then we can't make him speak, all we can do is wait.

Twilight~ You're right, we can't make him do something he doesn't want to do.

Rainbow~ I also agree, anyway since you guys are here do you wanna watch a movie?

Rip~ I'm down.

Twilight~ Same here, what movie are we gonna watch?

Rainbow~ I don't know, you two can choose. Come on, let's go.

The three of us sat in the living room together and picked out a movie to watch on Netflix. I can't recall what the movie was but I do know Twilight picked it out. Nothing else really happened with me or Twilight so that's pretty much it for my POV. I do want to let you know that I did suddenly get a feeling that something was a bit off but I didn't think much of it. I just wanted to relax and not worry about anything at that point in time.

Back with Rose…

Rose finally made it back home and found Dante was finally awake and sitting on a chair looking kinda lost. They both lock eye contact as Rose slowly approaches him and bends down on one knee.

Rose~ Hi! I'm Rose… I'm your mother.

Dante~ Ummm… hi Rose or… mom

Rose~ Do you remember what your name is?

Dante~ It starts with the letter D but I can't recall my full name.

Rose~ You're Donny but your family calls you Dante… Donny Dante Morris. Normally you're referred to as Dante regardless of who it is so it doesn't matter that much.

Dante~ Oh… where are we?

Rose~ A place where your safety is always guaranteed. That's not important though, you and I have a goal and I'm sure you will love what I have planned.

Dante~ What's the plan?

Rose~ I want to start an empire and take control of a certain city. I'm not gonna go into detail but just know I need your help.

Dante~ But why do you need me? Why not someone else?

Rose~ Because out of all the Rouges out there only you can be as strong as me. I haven't told you but you're what people like to call a Rogue Owl. Us Rogues we fight, take over, and most importantly… we kill… it's not only in your blood but in your mind. Just let your inner Rogue take over and make it into your own power. Do it the same way your own mother did long ago. So what do you say, are you in or out?

Dante~ Hmmm… kinda sounds dark but hell I barely even know how I am as a person. I'll do it, I just need to know how I can help.

Rose~ Like I just said, let your inner Rogue take the wheel. You're already a Rogue, you just need to wake up the darkness inside you and with that you don't have to worry about being too weak to do anything. You won't even bat an eye when someone threatens you, even if you were held at gunpoint. Do it for the future of the empire, and most importantly… do it for me.

Dante~ My inner Rouge… my inner Rouge…

Rose~ Set it free…

Dante collapses on his knees while enduring a sharp pain in the areas around his heart. His dark and sinister energy starts to course through each and every one of his veins. Soon Dante blacks out and lays flat on the ground with his dark aura emitting itself from his body. Rose walks up to his unconscious body and picks him up. She walked him to a large and soft bed-like platform and placed him there to rest. She sits down next to him and grabs his phone from his pocket. She manages to unlock his phone and takes a look at all of his past photos he took of his friends, his brother and the one he loved the most. Seeing the pictures of him with Donny pissed her off so much that she didn't hold back when she made the decision to reset Dante's phone, erasing everything in the process. She practically reset the entire phone but she didn't care even at the slightest. All she wanted was to spend the rest of her life with her son while living the way she wants him to live. Rose got up and walked out of her home then made her way out of the forest. Rose grabs her phone from her pocket to make an important call.

Over the phone…

Rose~ Hey, what's going on over there?

Rick~ I've checked all of the stations but one. The bad part about it is this one is the most secure station out of them all. I can get in but it will take a lot longer to get out along with the knife. That is if the knife is even there. Also I have to make sure I don't get caught.

Rose~ You said you would bring it back so I expect you to bring it back. Don't come anywhere near me without it or I will kill you.

Rick~ Ok damn, no need to threaten someone's life. It's broad daylight right now. I'll wait until night to break into this place and find this knife. I'll update you on how it goes for now just please be patient.

Rose~ Fine, just find that damn knife.

Rose ends the call and makes her way back inside her home. She sits down on one of the chairs looking at the pictures on her wall while talking to herself.

Rose~ I could start killing to pass the time but I want this to be a family business for right now… just be patient Rose… just be patient…
