"They have been gone for too long... i'm starting to get worried... i really hope they are ok" Skeppy had finished setting Bad's circle after about half an hour and Abby's after another hour or so. It has been almost seven hours now, Dream did his best to try and keep people from coming in, but he did have to knock out a few guys.

"They are taking too long, i'm going in" Dream said, jumping on his feet, immediately getting stopped by Skeppy "And what do you think to do once you're in? You'll just be a burden to them, let's wait a little longer. Have faith in her" Dream sighed, agreeing with him.

"If by an hour they aren't back then i'm going in"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They managed to hide in what looked like an abandoned shack just as the medallion's effect ran out. Angela took it back and started to refill it with her powers, it would take a while but they couldn't afford to go out with Drista being so vulnerable.

"Are you ok?" Drista asked, seeing her friend still in pain "I'll be fine, i... just need... to fill this again and then we can leave" she gasped out, feeling like her head start to hurt again.

"Y-you can rest a bit, we-"

"No, we need to get out... i don't.... know how much longer... i can handle this" she groaned, focusing hard on filling the magical object, managing to do so in another ten minutes.

"Ok listen... we... we-uhg..." she fell down on her knees, the pain was just too much, she couldn't hear anything, her ears were ringing and her vision went blurry, she could only vaguely see Drista call for her.

After about twenty minutes, the ringing went away, but the pain didn't.

"Drista... listen to me.... you... you need to go.... go to the portal... warn... Dream and tell.... tell... Skeppy.... to.... summon... them.... ba...ck..." she gasped out, soon falling to the ground, unconscious.

"Angela! Angela wake up!" needless to say she was beyond scared, she didn't know what to do, if either go and do what Angela told her to or wait for her to wake up. She didn't want to leave her friend alone in this state, so she hid her behind some wooden planks before heading out, remembering to put on the medallion.

"There she is!" one of the guards spotted her, so she started running, soon reaching the invisible building, phasing right through, she looked for the room with a portal, managing to find it. Drista was really hesitant on jumping in, since she couldn't see anything aside complete darkness inside it, but the shouts of the guards approaching gave her enough motive to move.

Total time spent in the void: 7 hours and 45 minutes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dream's and Skeppy's attention was drawn when they saw the portal lit up and someone come out of it. Dream immediately recognized who it was and went to hug her.

"Drista!" he hugged his sister tightly, a few tears escaping his eyes "You're here, you're safe now" he whispered, a large smile plastered on his face.

"Dream! Dream you need to help her! She's hurt!" she desperately said, pushing him out of the hug, her arms shaking, she was able to touch him only because the medallion apparently broke during her way back through the portal, but she was to shocked to notice.

"What do yo-" it's then that he noticed that Angela wasn't with her "Where is Angela?"

"She told me to go on, she's hurt!" Drista cried out, remembering what else she told her to say "She also said to summon back the others!"

Skeppy immediately sprouted into action, grabbing the book and starting to chant the words, the circles soon lit up, making the two demons re-appear, Abby looked pretty injured, but was overall fine.

"FUCKING FINALLY! WHAT THE FUCK TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG!?" she shouted angrily, clenching her burnt arm and glaring at Drista.

"Where is Angela? I need to have a few words with her about procrastination" she growled, not seeing her around.

"Wait, you mean she's still in there!? Alone?!" Dream shouted, worry soon flooding Bad's face once they heard that "What?! What do you mean she's still in there?" he desperately looked around, not seeing her friend anywhere, realization soon starting to hit him as well.

"W-we were h-hiding i-i-in a small s-shack a-and her h-head started hurting a-and then s-she f-fainted" she explained.

"No.... no no no no NO!" Bad tried to jump back in but fortunately got stopped by Skeppy "Let me go! We need to get her! She's out of time!!" he shouted, tears starting to spill from his eyes.

"I don't have the materials to make another summoning circle Bad! If you go in i won't be able to bring you back!" he shouted back, he too was very worried about Angela but they couldn't just mindlessly barge in and get her out, at least, not Bad and Abby.

"I'll go" Dream said, placing both his hands on his sister's shoulders "Listen Drista, stay with these people, they are friends and will protect you" she shakily nodded, he directed his gaze to Skeppy "If i'm not back in two... no, one hour, then run back to the king and warn him about what happened, i'm sure he will help us, even though he will be very pissed at me" Skeppy nodded "Be careful"

"Dream!" Bad called just as he was about to jump in "Ghosts can't stay in the void for more than 24 hours depending on how strong their regret is, if she's already hurt now that it has been almost 8 hours, i don't think she's gonna last another hour, so please.... please hurry" he begged, receiving a quick nod from him.

"Don't worry" he put on his mask, pulling out his netherite axe "I owe her mine and my sister's life, i'm definitely going to save her" and with that, he dived in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as he entered the void dimension it was clear that rescuing Angela wasn't gonna be an easy task, seeing that the room was straight up filled with guards. He managed to swiftly kill them all without much problem, since he was much stronger than them, but the problem remained that outside there were just far too many.

He needed to be fast, humans can't stay in the void for more than a day and the void didn't particularly like him very much, so if he got captured Angela would die and he would follow shortly after. He needed a plan, and fast. He could see the shack his sister described, it was probably less than a two minutes run away from where he was currently standing.

Going on ground was a nope, the streets were absolutely swarmed with guards.

"I guess i'll parkour my way over there" he put away his now bloody axe, leaning outside of the window and jumping on the roof below him, climbing up and over it, he had to stop several times in order to avoid getting seen but did manage to get there in the end, sliding through a hole in the wall, landing on a pile of hay.

"Angela? Angela are you here?" he called in a low voice, in order to avoid being heard from the guards just outside. He heard some shuffling coming from behind a pile of wooden planks. Dream quickly moved some aside, seeing her lay there, semi-conscious.

"Angela" he called again, bringing her blurry and confused gaze on him "D-dream? W-what... how...."

"Drista came back and warned us, don't worry, i'll get you out in no time" he assured, he tried to help her up, but his hands went right through. She did manage to stand in the end, but just barely, she wouldn't be able to run if they needed to escape the guards currently populating the streets. They needed another way out.

He suddenly remembered to have his emergency escape plan in his pocket, an ender pearl. They were pretty hard to obtain, in fact, he only had two, one used to escape Techno's dungeons, he wisely kept the second one in case of another emergency, deciding that it wasn't worth using it on Wilbur's dungeon, since he wasn't going to harm him anyway.

Now it was the time to use it. There was just one small problem, he needed to get a hold to her in order for them to teleport together.

"Angela, i can get us out, but i need you to take a physical form for us to teleport away, do you think you can do it?" he called, receiving a weak nod "Just... for a moment" she gasped out, feeling her head pulse, many voices starting to make their way in, all of them saying the same thing.

Die.

"Ok" he looked out of a small window, grabbing the pearl and aiming for the window from where he came from, it was a pretty far shot but he was sure to make it "When you're ready take my hand and try to hold it as long as you can" he instructed, receiving a weak nod from her.

She reached for his hand, phasing right through it, she tried several times until she finally succeed, Dream didn't waste his chance, throwing the pearl with all the strength he had, landing it inside the room, soon teleporting them in.

"Ahhh!" Angela fell to her knees, clenching her head with both hands, the voices in her head were screaming, they were so loud that she thought her head might actually burst open.

"Come on! We are almost out! Just hold on a little more!" Dream encouraged, he knew she'd have to jump in by herself since she was in no condition to hold a physical form long enough for him to carry her.

"It... hurts..." she panted out, her vision starting to blurry up again "I know it hurts but you have to bear it! We are almost there, just jump in!" they were literally less then ten feet from the portal, all she needed to do was stand up and jump.

The sound of fast footsteps approaching caught Dream's attention, he peeked down the stairway that led into the room, seeing a large fleet of guards make their way up, they looked pretty pissed and were all armed to the fucking teeth.

"Oh fuck!" he closed the door, blocking it, but it wouldn't hold them back for long, they needed to leave, now!

"Angela we need to leave! The guards are almost here! Come on!" he heard them banging on the door, soon managing to break in. Dream didn't lose time and went all out, swinging his axe wildly, cutting off several limbs and causing them to retreat a bit, giving them some time.

"Come on Angela! Don't you want to go back to that pink-assed king you love so much!?"

He was right, she did promise Techno she would come back.

"Come back to me...." he whispered, a few tears threatening to spill from his eyes. She hugged him back "I will"

She promised. She wanted, she needed to go back to him.

"I promise"

"I... promised" she clenched her teeth, ignoring the splitting pain in her head and dashed forwards with all the energy she had left, diving inside the portal "That's it!" Dream shouted, soon following after, giving the middle finger at the guards as he fell in.

They both were brought back in their dimension, when Dream opened his eyes again the first thing he saw was his sister kneel beside him, teary eyes and a large smile present on her face. When she noticed he was awake she hugged him tightly.

"You came back" she whispered, he smiled, hugging her back "I'm sorry for leaving you... i promise i won't do it anymore" he diverted his gaze to his right, seeing Angela lay there, she was unconscious but didn't seem hurt anywhere.

"Skeppy, do you have something that will allow us to carry her? I don't think she's gonna wake up any time soon" Skeppy nodded, pulling out some flowers of Veronica Persica, they seemed to be sewed into two gloves.

"Why didn't you give me those when i went in?!" he asked angrily "In the void every flower withers and die instantly, they would have been useless" he calmly explained, receiving a sigh of annoyance from him.

"Alright, let's head back, i've had enough of this city and the void dimension"
