"Sure, I never got a chance to visit Voidco while I was alive. Okay, well, I did have a chance... but I didn't go. Are we sure we want to bring Medi though? She doesn't seem to be in the best of shape."
Sponge looked at her worriedly, it seemed the pain he experienced in death had made the young heir even more concerned for others then he already was.

Hypnos speaks up. "Look, she's homeless and there's not a lot of options for her right now. Besides, we can't just leave her here to be forgotten."
"Hypnos has a point. If needed, I have an empty lantern she can stay in for a while. It might keep her safe in case anything happens." Theta pulls out his lantern.

"Alright, let's get on our way then. If she wants to go, I mean."

"I...I'll go..."
She transforms into a incredibly tiny soul and enters the lantern. It barely even produces any light...

"Alright, lead the way."
Sponge starts autofollowing the two Seths.

Hypnos watches her enter the lantern. "...can I hold onto her?"
Theta, noticing how much he seems to be attached to her, carefully hands the lantern over.
"keep her safe. she seems quite weak."
Hypnos holds the lantern tight, keeping her close to him.
"Okay, let's get the fuck moving already." Raphael begins walking down the steps back down to street level.
Sponge and the rest bros, with Medi in tow, follow behind him, all the way back to the docks.

... Wait. Where did the group go?

The group reaches the docks and begins loading themselves into the boat. Hypnos is still holding onto Medi quite tightly. He doesn't want her to disappear. Not after so much shit had happened to her bubblemates and their bubble.
Theta smiles as he pats the side of the boat with his hand. He's taken quite a few trips up and downstream with this baby. So many memories of the long cold nights spent fishing in solitude... until he would catch something, or someone.
So many times he's would up finding poor lost souls at the bottom of the river with his fishing rod. Each with their own stories to tell.
He still remembers the day when he caught Alpha Seth, the only live catch he's ever found.
"Hey Tostada, you can marry your boat later, we have a fountain to turn back on!" Raphael hops in with Sponge.
"It's not tostada, it's tha- theta!" Theta snaps at the elder edgemaster.
"Whatever, let's go."
And with that, the 4 and a half of them shove off and depart from Necropolis.
The chainsaw has been placed in the back once more to propel the boat forwards at a faster pace.
The mist almost seems thinner than usual. Instead of the usual mauve blanket across everything, it almost looks like there is a sky above them.
Many skies actually.
They clearly should not be visible here.
"I don't like this one fucking bit. When are we gonna catch a break around here?"
"when we make it safe to rest again." Theta is standing front and center as the boat carries them forwards.
"And when will that be? In a day? an hour? 500 years? I don't see how we can do anything about the shit that's going down around here." Raphael looks up at the patchwork sky, only just barely obscured by the mist.
"We have to try. There's no other option..." Hypnos looks out at the almost visible horizon before returning his gaze to the lantern.
Raphael closes his eyes for a moment, and then opens them again, still blank, but filled with light. "...you're right. We're not the only one's at risk from this shit. I wouldn't doubt it if all the spirits in this realm were in danger at this point. We don't have anything left to lose, but ourselves."
"Let's hope we don't have to pay the Ultimate Price to become Saviors of the Dreaming Dead..." Hypnos continues to hold Medi close.

It's almost strange how Medi has managed to hold on to herself, despite her incompleteness. What's keeping her from disappearing completely?
Whatever it was, it seemed to be an incredibly strong feeling.
You could barely hear her voice as she starts to sing another song.
"Somewhere over the rainbow..."

Sponge quietly waits, although if you looked at him you would notice that light was bending behind him. It was almost as if 8.9" (diagonally across) hole had appeared behind him. It didn't seem to effect anything, but it was certainly noticeable.

The hole fades, the light returning to normal.

A boat is passing by, a cloaked reaper at the helm. His scythe is completely recognizable as Ark's scythe. Ark nods to the other boat as it makes it's way down the river styx.
In his passenger seat is an old man with a very worn down look about him. He is in a tattered robe and looks very solemn...

"Hey, I know that guy. Hi Omega, how are you doing?"
Sponge seem strangely happy to see the man who killed him.

Omega lifts his head and looks to Sponge. His eyes are blind and he doesn't really stare so much at Sponge, and rather through him.
Ark nods to Theta. "Take care kid. That business out there only got much worse..."

"Oh.. He's.. he's blind? What happened to him? He looks so... broken... for a man that had me completely at his mercy. And, you know, stabbed me with multiple copies of the same sword until I died."
