Meeting a Dear friend (Trinity/Gabriel Summer event)

Trinity had gotten ready to head out to the park as usual, her large rolling trunk was ready to go, she had packed snacks and books to read, she even had a few instruments to play if she wished to do that.. Everything was set, so with that she grabbed the handle of the Roller and pulled it to the door, opening it and stepping out to go to the nearby park where she always went.

As soon as she stepped through the door she felt something wasn't right.. in fact she knew something wasn't right... she wasn't on the same street as the one outside her house, and looking back the building behind her wasn't her home... But there was a park not to far off "We see..." she quietly as she headed off to the park.

Walking in she found it looked okay... though it was a strange place.. she found a bench and took a seat taking out one of her Giant Cookies she popped the edge of it into her mouth and started to nibble on it gently as she took out a book and started reading.

In her mind however a conversation was going on, in a Mental construct that looked like her room at home.

~~~~~

"Okaaaaay... what's going on here? where are we?" Nola said looking a bit worried.

"Unsure.. though it doesn't feel like one of those demon infested places... the air doesn't feel right..." Myrna spoke up looking at the group.

"Well where ever we are it's clear it's not Endy.. place is to.. clean feeling? and the plants are different..." Alister said as he thought on the current situation.

"how...do..we...get back?" Lilith asked as she stayed in the corner still clinging to the Plushy she had after all this time.

"Look I have no clue...." Yuuko said as she stood in the far corner of the room "but we should probably figure it out... we still have work to do..."

"even if it is alone" the group said all together as they came to the understanding a while ago that the group they worked with was falling apart, and were unwilling to listen... they had to try to do things alone if they could with just their little group

"For now though we need to stay calm.. we can think on all that later.. and if it comes to it.. and we are stuck here.. we need to make the most of it" Unison said as she walked into the room from the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back out in the real world.. Trinity continued to simply Nibble away at the edge of the cookie and reading as she has always done.

in the distance, there was a shadowy figure that was shifting about with purple and green energy. It was hard to tell what that apparition was, but if Trinity kept her eyes on it for a long period of time, it would start to take on the form that it was always meant to take. From the hair, the hands, the feet, and finally the glasses. With a small plop, Gabriel Gatsby would have fallen into this world, dusting himself off and looking around until he saw Trinity.


"Nola, oh god no....."

Running over to her, he would give her a great hug. It was soft and warm, almost longing for the affection of one of his comrades. As for Gabe's skin to the touch, it did feel a little cold.

"You shouldn't be here, this isn't a place for you. You should still be alive, you have to be. They need you..... "

Gabe looked angry and frustrated, looking around and wondering if there was a way to get Trinity back to her own world.

"Is this even her? Is this another one of my torments?!!"

How much more must he go through"

Trinity sat there nibbling on the edge of the cookie.. when something caught her eye she looked to it.. trying to figure out what it was.. and as it grew closer.. she continued to stare unblinking at it, and then he seen him.. and that voice... her nibbling slowed... then stopped as she recognized him, then when he spoke she dropped the cookie, before he ran over and hugged her silent tears running from her eyes as she felt him hug her and she gently hugged him back.. before her siblings stepped out of her.. each of them with their own bodies and they all hugged Gabe

"Gabriel..."
"Shotaro..."
"Gabe"
"We missed you.."
" A..are you okay?"
"hugs..."
"Where the hell were you...yo...yo bastard..."

The group hugged their lost friend. and slowly.. they all returned to Trinity till she was the only one hugging her.. the words he spoke finally fully registering after the shock of seeing him, and the upwelling of emotion was over.

"We do not know why We are here.. We walked out of our home.. and found ourselves here..but.. no one needs Us now.. Gabriel the group... after you disappeared.. We attempted to bring them together.. to lead them... they pushed Us out.. ignored Our advice.. in the end We were left alone.. most went with the other group that showed up.. that planned to kill rather than expose.. so We had to move alone even Our experience was ignored.." she said honestly as she hugged him like he was a life raft in a stormy sea.

"But.. We feel safe now.. you are here..." she said as she let out a little happy puff from her nose, Gabriel would know well that she was happy from that sound 'We are not a torment.. it is Us"

Gabe couldn't believe his ears. The platinum playhouse all fell apart as soon as he was missing? It bore hard onto his heart, skelker reaped the benefits and set those kids on the wrong path. The killing was wrong and not the way of handling their problems. "Even if invidia killed selenus, there was still something we had to hold on to. Our morality, wy we do this isn't based on revenge alone. The greatest revenge we could have gotten was showing the government's true colors to the world. Why would they follow skelter after all our accomplishments? Why would they reject you?"

Gabe was gone to his knees, truly sad about the news he was receiving.

"It is all my fault...I failed you..all of you..."

IT was a relief that Sosina managed to be here by accident, but he knew of the issues that could have come with her condition.

" you might be able to step in here due to your condition. Having all of those personalities and being closer to death than usual. This is not something I wanted for you, I wanted to find something to extend your life, the life you should have gotten. This is....I don't know. But I tried to escape their jail. The collars they have can shut off our powers. I didn't know how to get it off and in my struggle, I was gunned down. I'm dead. Or... it's proper to say that my existence is in between. But I don't know why I'm here. Ever since I came, I was tormented and challenged."

But that doesn't matter now.

"You can't stay here, I need to get you out of here."

Trinity continued to hug Gabe, following him to the ground when he fell to his knees, as he spoke she shook her head "No.. you didn't fail us.. we failed you... We should have helped you... We should have brought our weapon to aid you.. We tried.. the others stopped me.. We wanted to help you run.. to give them another target... to split their focus.." she said to him as she hugged to him.

She looked to Gabe as he spoke and she only continued to hug him, not letting go as she didn't want him to fade again, to go away.. to leave "We have no reason to go back.. If you are being challenged.. We will help you.. We failed to before... We will not fail again.." she said as she sat there "We don't know why they would give up on that.. but We no longer care.. We have nothing to go back for..." she said with an oddly happy sigh "Everything is here...."

" I appreciate what you said. It means a lot to me. But............You're wrong, and all of your personalities should of stopped you from saying that. Look at what you have to fight for. Your parents! Your dreams! You made other friends, right? There are people whoa re counting on you. The way that i became the leader of the platinum playhouse, I simply stepped up and did it. I believed in our cause, and as one of the original members, my will lives on through you. You can save Endymion, and I don't think you need to do it alone."

Gabe got up and looked at Nola with a stern face.



"Deceive them and steal your members back. Prove to those on skelters side that the aimless murder of the district leaders won't bring anyone back, and that death is the easy way to discount all of the responsibilities ones has in response to the atrocities they committed. The quickest exist with no apologies in between. Or make new allies, whatever it is you have to do. If I ever had a chance to be reborn in this world, i would want to be your friend again. I'm still fighting here, so why say that to me Nola? Because it's easier?"

Trinity listened to him, as he spoke she nodded slowly.. he was right.. she was the only one that knew of their original reason for doing all this.. the others? they didn't know.. they didn't understand... but at the same time they didn't seem to want to understand or learn.. at least not from her.. all because she couldn't fight.. because she could only heal.

"They don't stop us.. because they agree... but you are right..." she said as she sat there looking down at the ground, "It would be a hard task.. We are not as capable in battle as you were... the others brushed us aside as a mere healer...and I say that.." she then looked up at Gabe "Because.. you are fighting alone... No one should be alone.. and We can help..." she said her face still expressionless, but tears running down her cheeks.

"hold on."

Taking out his handkerchief, Gabe would try to wipe the tears away from the trinity's eyes and place them in her hand.

"You should hold on to this, in case this isn't a dream or anything. If not, don't forget what happened here. But still, I guess we are in a bind right. You said you would help but to be sure, I'm not even too sure why I'm still traversing through all these different trials. In a sense, I do want to go back even after realizing how impossible it is given my circumstances. However, preparing you to get back as the leader of the playhouse, might be the reason why you are here. Maybe not, maybe you are here to help me? I'm not so sure, what do you think?"

Looking around again, Gabe picked up Trinity and placed her on his head.

"How about a small stroll then while we figure this out. Fun fact, i never gave you a piggyback ride. I kind of wanted to for your concert, but it turned out that you was the performer, all three of you. Fun times right? I wrongly thought you to be mad instead of separate individuals, it's official, i was kind of a doucebag huh? I had a lot to work on, but you forgave me i hope.....also try not to fragment anymore, i don't want your lifespan taking on any more stress. "

Trinity let Gabe gently wipe the tears away, gently leaning into his hand a moment when he did as her eyes flashed to bright blue showing Nola was in charge of that motion, a smile on her face as she did so, but when he moved his hand away she seemed to follow it a moment as if reluctant to let him go away.. or scared he would just vanish, but as he placed the cloth in her hand, her eyes resumed their normal deeper blue color as Trinity was back in control once more and her expression returned to the expressionless mask the small girl always had.

Listening to him she nodded and her hand closed tightly around the Handkerchief, "We will not forget..." she promised him though as he asked her what she thought she took a moment to think on things.. making her the leader of the playhouse with how things were now was impossible, the others had simply ignored or written her off as the leader, choosing instead to go their own path but keeping the name, that would mean she would have to Rebuild the group....

Before she could answer though she was suddenly lifted up and placed on Gabe's shoulders, he would find she was incredibly light... probably a lot lighter then he thought she would be... but she was also fairly small so maybe that was it? Regardless she sat up there still thinking, but as he talked again she looked down at him, but as he insulted himself she shook her head, first slowly but then she sped up "No...no you were not.. We never thought you were mean.. you tried to take care of Us.. and We never had a reason to forgive you.. We were never was mad at you.." she said in that gentle whisper of a voice.

"We will try not to.. but We may have to accept some extra stress... as it is We will have to rebuild the Playhouse... Some are trying to continue with the name.. but they have no real leader.. they ignored requests and suggestions We gave them.. They think they understand things.. They do not seem to Understand the Objectives of the Playhouse... Objectives We had.. conflictions with... after We lost Selenus.. and then you..." she said as she leaned forward to hug his head.

"I mean I wouldn't blame you, you are trying to save the world. There is stress to it, make no mistake. I can't even begin to count the number of times that I had sleepless nights. However, even with that, I only thought about what would be best for the group. If you don't have the image of a leader, then you should become a shadow leader. Maybe people take it too personally that a small girl is leading the playhouse. If there is someone else that they would accept due to visual aspects alone, and that same person takes your council as important. You can still achieve your goals."

Thinking as he walked, Gabe still tried to resolve the situation even after his "separation" from that world.

"Playing along or making use of what you have, you should keep your intentions hidden until the very end. The reasoning is false, listening to you does have its merits. There are like five of you, and in addition to that, you are the one that keeps us alive in battle. The healer is the weakest? Don't make me laugh, you are one of the strongest assets that hold the team together. And you do even more than that, power can only take you so far, I've learned the hard way that brute force only take you so far. Without you, they will notice, even with the wild card on skelter's side."

Frogerrio and Brittany were too far gone.

"I wish I can come back, but I don't think I can. I have doubts if I'm even real. But still... I have to entrust my will to you, for the hope of a better future. There is no one else I can ask. But, you are the youngest. If you truly feel as if your health is deteriorating, you don't have to fight anymore. Your identity is safe and id rather you spend time with your parents and adoring fans. "

She shook her head as she continued to hug to him even as he carried her around on his shoulders "No... We must continue on.. We made a Promise... to you.. and Selenus.. We have to find someone important to him... We have to find those that are guilty and bring them into the light.. so that everyone else is safe.. We do not Think the others are capable of that dedication to the cause.. Of seeing it through with the resolve they will need.. one was found out and captured.. and another may be implicated, the implcated one was already falling apart.. Talking of how their lives may be over.. Rather then Steeling their resolve.. they simply fell apart.. the others came around them to comfort them with suggestions or platitudes of perhaps they would be safe.. not one promised protection... they promised aid if they were caught... after they had already left one who was caught.. empty words that rang hollow due to previous events.. " she said remembering their cause, and one of their members reactions to possibly being found out by association "We must stay in the dark to find the things there and throw them into the light" she said as she held on still not wanting to let go.

She listened to his counsel on what to do.. it made sense, pride may be blinding the others.. making them think they new better then some little kid, even at the time when she tried to tell the one that was scared of being found out to fight back rather then cower, they told her not to speak on things she knew nothing of, despite the fact none of them new nothing of the same topic.. out of all of them that remained she had fought the longest but yet she was brushed aside as 'just a child' "That path.. would require that their be a leader to use as a speaker.. however at the time none were leaders.. rather then the city they worried about the possibility of one being found out.. and while that is dangerous the best move would have been to go on the attack, as well as find a base to set up.. instead platitudes were given and promises of aid if they got caught.. not one other then Us tried to encourage they fight.. and when We did We were told we knew nothing of what I spoke of.. when they knew less of such things then I" she thought back once more "No leader is forthcoming... the Playhouse name is Usurped by people only concerned for their own safety..." she said as she held on.

"The so called Wildcard has thrown his hat in with Killers and Murderers.. because it sounded faster... or more fun... nether of these two groups sound any different then the Cadets... We will have to make a new group.. and recruit for it.." she then reached out and created a Semblance.. an empty one that had a randomized appearance but still looked to be a believable person wearing a mask "If no such leader will step up... We have taken steps to make one... even considering modeling them on you.. so We no longer feel lonely...and to act as Psychological warfare against our enemies... We are ready to do the Same with Selenus.. for everyone that falls.. We are ready to make a copy.." tears were running down her cheeks again though her expression never changed.

"We... We don't want to be alone anymore.. If any fall.. We will Keep their Memory alive.. and Fighting for the cause they died for... We will bring down the Cadets and the corrupt with an Army of Ghosts" the stern strong voice of Unison came out of Trinity as she took over suddenly "They have showed us there Fight... their way of battle... We will show them our WAR" she said with that determined voice, so different from any of the triplets.

"Trinity, if you do this, you have to understand what that means. To give your all for this cause, no matter how brave and wonderful the world would be at the end of all this, you have to understand that this is a thankless job. There would be no celebrations or people praising your name. All of it will not be circled around the people who made sacrifices to fight. If you truly believe that you can't salvage the playhouse or recruit new people for it, you are free to make a group that backs you. However, affiliation with the playhouse allows you not only resources but a good hiding spot, it's better to use something more established. "

Stopping for a while, Gabe would sigh.

"Don't fragment anymore. My personality is not something you would want, and silence was the most concerned about your wellbeing. The person that I want to make their own story for themselves is in unison. What would unison do and whatnot. I wasn't expecting to die, I was hoping to live to see everyone saved. Therefore, I did not pick a successor. But I don't know if that would have helped, someone with my blessing. "

Could things change?

"Do what you must, but no matter what, make sure you're at the end to see things through."

"We Understand.. Perhaps we will attempt to salvage the Playhouse... but it will be hard.. "But then again we never really shied away from hard work.. why stop now?""It's not like it was easy to begin with after all, just means we need to work harder, and smarter" Alister and Myrna changing in mid sentence, Trinity's eyes changing to Red, Green then Blue as they spoke.

"We do not plan to fragment if we can help it, We have much to do. We are also unsure if designating a new leader or replacement if we lost you would have helped... this group seemed very focused on their own problems rather then the problems of the city, but they were new, it was to be expected now that we look at it with hindsight" she said as she held on.

"Do not worry.. we plan to see this through, we have many things that must be done, for you, for Selenus, for ourselves, for the City, it would server no purpose to allow ourselves to fall before seeing them done" Unison said.
