"I would certainly prefer to know exactly what is happening."
// Makes sense. I guess.
"All right. Here goes... I'm going to add in a little commentary while you're seeing things. Hope you don't mind."
Empathy raises one hand up a little as two orbs of his color scheme appear in the palm. Ezekiel's vision would slowly fade to black as the vision starts.
Umbra steps on the portal device in the old world, which seems just as vibrant as it used to.
Then the vision freezes. Jet-black gashes appear in the living canvas and slowly expand, devouring it.
"It started when Umbra's portal machine went on the fritz. I don't know why it did in the first place, but what happened was it opened a portal to its own world. This... Somehow tore a huge hole in the fabric of space-time. The paradox pretty much deleted the entire world and ejected everyone out."
The vision cuts to an endless, dark void with everyone from the old 'town' floating in it- Enigmas, Elterevean, and Ezvrael included, for some reason. They still glow in the darkness, but they don't seem to produce any light.
Suddenly, multiple things start happening. Some of the figures floating in the void begin to change or disappear. The survivors' bodies change to become what they currently are while the others start to slowly fade or disintegrate.
"After we all got evicted, we... Well, we just floated. I don't know how, but eventually things started changing. Maybe something found us and decided we didn't belong. I don't think we'll ever know. The ones who survived still had memories of their old lives, and according to what Umbra experienced, they became dreams."
Four of the Enigmas- Empathy, Apathy, Order, and Chaos- begin to dissolve, some of the colored particles flying into Umbra's body. The unconscious Umbreon suddenly fizzles as if he were on a static screen, his body suddenly becoming the white Anomaly.
"That's how Umbra got his Anomaly body- he's a culmination of the five of us. His Anomaly form, as most people seem to be calling it, inherited my Spear preference and Apathy's cryomancy. Order's the one who gave him those eye things. And Chaos... Well... Actually, I don't know what he got from Chaos."
Superego remains unchanged, still dissolving.
...But then something starts happening. His body starts reforming and shifting in color from a pinkish-purple to solid black. A crystalline purple shard bursts from his shoulder as a similarly-colored outline surrounds his body.
"And then... That happened. Even though we never technically existed, Superego couldn't truly comprehend death, or total destruction. Once he came face-to-face with it, he went insane from trying to hold on to life. He ended up succeeding and became... That."
The void fades to white as the vision ends.
Ezekiel, Umbra, and Empathy are still in the infirmary when they return to reality.
"So, yeah... That's the best I can explain it..."
"...Okay, then. So that means my dreams were memories?"
"Yes."
"And the other people who had dreams like mine are actually from the old world?"
"Yep."
"And you're actually a part of me?"
"Mm-hm."
"...What."
"I know it's a lot to take in, but we've got bigger problems on our hands. If Superego is in this world, which he is, then we're in trouble."
