"No sign of Stormwave for a few hours..." Flux muttered as she scanned the streets below with worried eyes.

In the four hours since the two electrical heroines had gone to confront their known hypnotic enemy, that notably quick witted fox had already rushed off into what she assumed was a proper fight. Aster may have felt some concern over the fate of her friend yet could temper this well by understanding the track record the vixen touted. How many times had things gone all the better because of the impulsive, younger heroine's habit of taking the fight far too rashly? While it didn't always work in their favor, sometimes even needing the shocking sheep to step in and help out, it wasn't that often that Stormwave was in a battle too far above her level.

"Huh?" she turned quickly as a pebble was knocked loose a few paces behind, followed by a creak of rubber and clicking of... something. "Who is..."

And Flux had to squint for a brief moment as something surreal stood before her. Something that couldn't be, shouldn't be, but seemed to stand in contrast to what she expected.

"Stormwave?... is that you?" she stammered faintly while taking one step back. "Why are you with Dream? And... what are you wearing?"

The fox and dragon had never really been the pink kind. Not in bodysuits, not in hair colors, and especially not in the 'lit up glowing contacts' that they seemed to have put in at some point. The full body outfits defied the look of any mind controller they'd ever seen in the vast city of Horizon while still looking particularly uniform. Something about those masks that covered up their mouths just made them look less like people and more like some sort of...

Weapon?

"Attack." the slaves heard inaudibly, whispered only into their minds.

"Yes, Goddess."

The next seconds were a flurry of glossy activity; punches and kicks flying from every angle at the mentally overwhelmed sheep. Aster could only just barely keep up with two determined attackers and would likely have been beaten quite quickly if they weren't moving so stiffly and robotically. Dream's cross felt like something she'd expected before, even more the axe kick from the top. Sure, she couldn't quite avoid the shoulder slam from the quick vixen to her side but her arms were strong enough to catch the weight of a falling fox. Aster was, after all, a bit more solidly built than her lithe former-friend.

"Good thing I... nnf... know you." Flux slipped to one side and jumped, powerful leg into the spine of her induced-traitor of an ally. "You're a little slower than us-"

Then Dream caught her in the cheek with an elbow that sent her reeling. Stormwave wasted no time wrapping her arms about the sheep's own without any recognition of pain. Determined attackers could ignore a lot. Enslaved ones were even worse.

"You will serve the Goddess, Aster." Stormy's monotonous words carried no emotion, merely the raw concept of obedience. "Stare at Nightmare."

"Hold her still, Volt."

"Volt... Nightmare?" Aster tried to look away as the thoughts cascaded over her in a wave of pure confusion yet couldn't avoid the explosion of pink and white spirals. As quickly as they caught her attention, they captured her eyes and echoed across her vision. Only two words could escape her lips, the same ones now coming through her mind.

"Obey Zaide...."
