Harry Potter and the Goblet of Sauce Cookie

Under Pressure - Queen

Aquilas continued to shoot down every Shadow that went her way. With quick, agile movements, she was able to fire at the Shadows in the distance as well as hit the ones that went near her with her pistol. Not a bullet was wasted; every single one she fired hit the target fatally. As she continued shooting, she saw Prem charging towards the Shadows, then it came to her that he was probably recollecting the arrows he'd fired already. Running towards Prem whilst continuing to shoot down Shadows in her way, Aquilas shouted through the battle. "Hey Prem, need some help?" Aquilas charged through the enemies, grabbing the arrows she found lying on the ground with quick swipes, all the while still firing at the enemies. When her cartridge became empty once again, she'd blasted a lot of Shadows already, and had collected about 70 arrows. "Catch," Aquilas yelled, throwing the arrows to Prem. Prem caught them all. Aquilas replaced her cartridge once again. Deep inside she was starting to worry that her ammo might run out, while there were still quite a lot of enemies out there. Her last resort was the dagger that she had brought with her, and she hoped she'd be able to fight with it well. She had a feeling she would. Aquilas was thankful she wasn't alone in fighting the Shadows, and that her companions were excellent in battle as well. Adrenaline soared through her body as she blasted away the Shadows, and she saw that not too far from her was a Reaper, readying its bow. A feeling of dread went through her as she saw the Reaper preparing to shoot.

When Iyana took out her weapon and made eye contact with the rest of the group, Aquilas took that as a cue to pull out her own weapon. Long range will do for now, as the Shadows are still quite distant, Aquilas thought. She also wasn't sure if she should really engage them in melee combat, since she wasn't sure yet if she could fight them that way. She needed to gauge the skills of the Shadows at least. Loading her pistol, she got ready for action. Wait until they get nearer, she thought. She couldn't risk a blind fire, the bullets were too valuable. She needed to save them. She needed to be absolutely sure she'd hit the enemy before she shot, so she wouldn't waste the special bullets. "Be careful. Only fight with the weapons given or prepared by Joshua and Alita. Shoot or strike to kill. And as we're always told, don't die." She heard Tamsin say, and Aquilas nodded in agreement. Here we go, Aquilas thought. She aimed at a Shadow, and pulling the trigger, she fired. The bullet hit the Shadow's head, and the instant it hit the Shadow exploded and got pulverized; what was left were fine dark ashes. She moved around and aimed, hitting her targets with seemingly expert marksmanship. Aquilas didn't know it herself, but it seemed like her body moved on its own, like her entire body was programmed for fighting like this. By the time her pistol needed to be reloaded, she'd shot down at least a dozen of Shadows. Her eyes darkened as she saw there were hundreds more coming, possibly even thousands. Thousands of Shadows and only seven of them. Great. As she pocketed her leather bag to get more ammo, she looked to see how the others were doing. She could see Tamsin swinging her bat at the Shadows, hitting three of them sharply with one huge swing. Prem was also doing great, taking down the Shadows with his every arrow, and she could see Hesh shooting down the enemies down, one of his bullets narrowly missing Tamsin. A little far but not so much as Aquilas could still see her, was Iyana slashing and stabbing at the enemies with her knife. The others were doing so well, and the thought pumped her up even more. Aquilas aimed her pistol again and shot at the Shadows, keeping close watch on her companions, just in case anyone was hurt or injured, but so far everyone was doing fine, like each and everyone of them were natural warriors. Aquilas thought she'd probably been a warrior in her world, as well, but she wasn't that sure. The memories she had regained through the "coffee" she drank earlier didn't give away much about her past. Then she remembered Tamsin's words: "Your memories will be contained in yellow crystals throughout the rift, and they'll react when you're near. Shadows and the rest feed on the crystals, so we have to gather them before they're consumed." Since there are a lot of Shadows on that area, chances are there must be memory crystals nearby. And if Aquilas somehow found hers, she'd be one step closer to getting out of the Rift. The thought gave her a boost of energy, as she was eager to kill the Shadows and be able to find their yellow memory crystals before the Shadows consumed them.

HUEHUEHUE

So, after watching the Harry Potter movie series for the nth time, it came to me: If I were to conjure a Patronus Charm, what would be the memory I'd use? For those who don't know, the Patronus Charm is a charm that when casted, serves as a protector or shield of positive energy. To successfully conjure the said charm one must think of the happiest memory they have (the happier the memory, the more powerful the charm). I think my happiest memory is that of when I'm with my friends and family, remembering the moments I've spent with them. So what's your happiest memory?

"We're going to find your, umm, our memories. . .Btw I dont think we have been introduced yet, cuz I was dozed off. ." Aquilas turned and saw a guy who looked like he was about her age, his face twitching. Aquilas realized that aside from the angel, Joshua, he was pretty much the only other guy in the Rift with them. "My name is Prem, all I can tell you about me is I'm a gold in archery. . . Can I have your name. .? " He continued. Oh, that's right, Prem, Aquilas remembered. She took note that he was very much skilled in archery. He would be a helpful companion, especially if they were to battle. "My name is Aquilas. Nice to meet you." Aquilas said, nodding in his direction. Suddenly, as they walked, she stopped in her tracks. A shiver ran down her spine as she saw an army over the horizon, moving closer and closer to them, a skeleton holding a bow in the lead. She stood there, her fingers inside her leather bag, grasping her pistol. Her eyes darted to the others. It seemed that the girl named Iyana had taken notice, but nobody else was getting ready to fight nor bringing out their weapons. She took a deep breath, her grip on the pistol tightening, ready to pull it out in case.

Talking to someone made Aquilas feel a little better. At least she knew how she got in there, in what they call the Rift, and had at least an explanation. What the reason was, though, why she was brought there, she didn't know and she was determined to find out. Judging by Tamsin's story, the Rift seemed like a pretty dangerous place, and whoever brought her in there was no friend. Aquilas listened as Tamsin continued with her story. So the one that brought them there was a Jaeger named Aero. Aquilas wasn't entirely sure but it felt like she heard that name before. How strange, she thought, how that she could remember, while the rest of her memory was still scattered somewhere in the Rift. And finding them seemed almost impossible, if not totally impossible, which meant that getting out of there was almost impossible as well. Aquilas cringed at the thought. She willed herself not to panic. This wasn't the perfect time to let her claustrophobia take over her. If she wanted to get out of there, she needed to be strong. ". . .Sorry to drop so much on you, but you two got bitch slapped into the middle of all this after we got our explanations." Tamsin said, and offered a hand with a smile. Aquilas smiled back and took her hand. At least she wasn't alone in this near-impossible, perilous journey. "It's not your fault," Aquilas replied. "Bag boy is Hesh, Skull-cap's name is Prem. The younger girl is Iyana, Misaki is the woman in armor, and Alice is the one over there. I'm Tamsin, by the way. Do you recall your name?" Aquilas's eyes wandered over their companions as Tasmin said their names. "I'm Aquilas." She answered, looking at Tamsin. "Nice meeting you, Tamsin, even though the situation we're in isn't really that nice. And also, thank you for the enlightenment." Aquilas smiled, then stared at the horizon, the never-ending white space of the Rift as they continued to walk farther away from the coffee shop. As they walked, Aquilas called out, "Hey guys, where are we headed? Surely we're not just walking out here with no absolute destination, right?"

I love all of them, especially the first one. What did you use to draw?

I think she'll most likely just stay as Ai, and she'll live a normal life, a life she was deprived of because she was connected to the Organization.

Aquilas stared down her cup at the black swirling liquid inside it. She wasn't sure if she should really drink this, given that she was in the middle of nowhere with a couple of strangers who apparently had weapons, and looking outside didn't help one bit. Not too far from the coffee shop was filled with debris, like something from the sky crashed into it. Only there wasn't any sky. Anything beyond the horizon was white. Nothing. White emptiness. She wasn't even sure if she could trust these strangers. What if what she was about to drink was some sort of poison or drug? What if these people were behind her amnesia? Her being stuck in a coffee shop in the middle of a never ending white space? Or what if they were just like her? Woke up in the middle of nowhere with a couple of strangers, not remembering anything else but their names? Either way, Aquilas needed an explanation. She looked at the strangers. None of them introduced themselves to her yet. Well, she hadn't introduced herself to them either. She thought maybe it would be best to get to know these people, perhaps accompany them. They looked like they were about to go on an adventure. Well, even if she didn't want to go with them, she would have no choice since they looked like they were the only people around there. She stared down her coffee cup as she processed all this. Finally, she decided. "I guess it's worth a try." Aquilas gulped down her drink. The next thing she saw was darkness. Then yellow spots were dancing in her sight. The world around her swirled as her head started to throb again, this time much worse than before. She had to hold on the counter top to prevent herself from falling as the coffee shop around her spun around, yellow and white spots dancing in her vision. She closed her eyes, the throbbing in her head now faster. It was as though it was audible, and as it grew louder and louder in her ears she saw a vision. A few seconds later, her eyes opened. The throbbing was now gone, and the coffee shop had stopped spinning. She felt tears in her eyes and she realized she was breaking in cold sweat at what she'd seen. Her body was trembling, but she managed to set the coffee cup down and stand up. "What was that?" She asked, rubbing her eyes. It took a couple of moments for her to regain her balance, and she was told to pick some weapons. She touched a dagger's hilt hesitantly, intrigued by its yellow sheen. She unsheathed it, running her thumb down the sharp blade. She returned it to its sheath then put it in her pocket. She also picked up a pistol and a couple of cartridge, and put it in a black leather bag she just realized she had. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second, trying to get her mind around what she saw. She felt that there was more to it than that, but the more she tried to remember, the more it slipped away, like water in cupped hands. She saw the others getting up and getting ready to leave the shop, and she followed behind, a little bit far. At the corner of her eye she saw a girl with long black curls held back by a head band, her deep violet eyes behind her glasses seemingly pensive. She looked deep in thought, and a piece of cloth was tied to her arm. Aquilas guessed that a knife was tied to the girl's arm, because she used to do that as well. They went outside, into the whiteness that extended beyond the horizon, possibly going on forever.

The first thing that Aquilas noticed as she regained consciousness was that her head throbbed painfully. She slowly opened her eyes, finding herself sitting on a chair, apparently inside a place that looked like a coffee shop. Weird. She also noticed she wasn't alone. She saw someone, with what---silver hair? Speaking to some people huddled around the place. She felt it was best to keep quiet for now. Aquilas tried to focus on his words, but her throbbing head made it hard to concentrate. She caught some words, like Aero and Rift and recovering memories, but none of them added up nor made sense. Wait. . .memories? That was when she realized that aside from her name, she remembered nothing else. She took a deep breath, and opened her eyes, and heard the silver-haired guy say something about the strength of ego being the way out of the Rift. As she sat there, dazed, she saw a black-haired girl walk over somewhere, and caught a glimpse of some bullets. Her eyes widened. Apparently, whoever these people were, they had weapons. Nobody else had seemed to notice she was already conscious. By her side, near the left, there was a counter top where she saw two cups, and she grabbed one and peeked inside. It contained black, swirling liquid. How strange. She put it back on the counter. She needed to know what in the world was happening and where in the world she was. And she figured the only way to find out was to ask the people around her, even though it seemed dangerous, considering the fact that these people had weapons. She had no choice. She took a deep breath, the throbbing in her head growing weaker. "Ready when you guys are." She heard the black-haired girl say. Near her, Aquilas saw a girl with short blue hair tied back in a ponytail. She tugged at the girl's shirt, and once their eyes met, she asked, "Where am I?"
