Possession Spreads

"Possession Spreads" is a Season 1 September 22, 2014 thread which occurs directly after "Demon or Witch." It leads directly into "Vox's Death."

=== Part 1 ===
Hemlock: My dragon is back. I can only fervently hope you have received my earlier message. I will continue to try and contact you.
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: Thank you for letting me know! It is good to hear your dragon is back! More updates are always welcome.
Hemlock: I will have to assume my earlier message was not received, due to my rather unreliable dragon [and by that i mean the tumblr messaging system and the fact that my internet's wobbly at the moment]. A resend is soon to come.
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: You’re probably right! Dragons can be annoyingly unreliable sometime!
Kierra Starlord: I don’t really feel like I belong in the battle of the grounded dungeon, like, I have a position, but I don’t interact with anyone, I don’t ever know what’s going in, I try to talk to people, but end up deleting the message cause I feel like what I’m talking about has nothing to do with the RP.. I’ve never RPed before, so I’m in very uncharted waters..
Vox Arnason: None of us could have prepared for this.
For many years, we lived content with our prison domain. With the Warden being stern, but never cruel, we found comfort in our shared sadness we wrought on the world. The instigation of a father’s demise, and the possession of a mighty dragon… we were in full control.
That is… until Tree fell, and thus, the dungeon fell with her.
The rebels were thrown into a fight that they had no experience with. Leaders beginning to rise from the depths of the Grounded Dungeon, leading their people to freedom. Many lives were put into jeopardy. Friendships put to the ultimate test, all in the name of bringing down the tyranny of the Warden.
There is something that bonds us. Our inexperience in such guerilla tactics gives us a sense of unity. We NEED one another. Not that we don’t possess our own strengths, but because collectively, we hold a power stronger than anything that will hold us from our ultimate goal.
Fear not your ignorance in war.
Embrace your innocence. Hold on to it.
In the end, it’s all we have left.
Kierra Starlord: This is beautiful.

=== Part 3 ===
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: Three people, treepelta113, quickyslippy, and wearedragonsonberk are possessed by the malevolent being. Kiritheblue is trying to resist that possessed control. Tree is threatening to attack. Everyone else is standing defiantly against the Tyrant-Warden and proclaiming that our defenses are firm.
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: #battle of the grounded dungeon#god damn it guys stop getting possessed lmfao#we need to start unpossessing people
- via hiccup-the-seasick-viking We have tried charms and spells! We have tried resistance! Sometimes good comments and friendship and peace have worked! But I am open to suggestions from my council!!! After all, I’m a little busy here trying to keep up with Tree!
Seasick: Have we even considered what could be possessing Tree? Is another dragon? A human? Once we know WHO or WHAT is possessing her, then we can figure out what to use to save her.
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: We’ve been trying to find it but thus far have not seen this Tyrant by our own eyes! Our best guess is that it is in the lowest lairs of the Grounded Dungeon. We do have war plans to reach it eventually - hopefully sooner rather than later.
Seasick: We need to draw the Tyrant out then… should we give our alphas another shot? Use them in an attempt to draw the tyrant out? Once we see the Tyrant, then we can make further plans to rescue Tree.
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: UNLEASH ALL THE DRAGONS NOW KIRITHEBLUE OUR VIKING NINJA IS ABOUT TO DIE!
Seasick: I SHALL UNLEASH THE MIGHTY DRAGON FURIOUS!
SAVE OUR COMRADE AND ALL OTHERS IN DANGER!!!!!!!!!!
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: FURIOUS IS RELEASED!

What can Tree give you? We can give you a great cause to fight for. We can give you companionship and freedom.
Be released from the possession! Be free!
Emily: RELEASE THEM.
Emily: Tree, you may have armies and armadas and Changewings, but we have something you don’t

Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: LUNGES SWORD WITH ALL ANGER STRAIGHT AT TREE’S NECK.
Akkey Black: NO KING! ‘TIS STILL TREE! INJURE BUT DO NOT KILL, IF YOU MUST!
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: I CANNOT ABIDE YOU HARMING MY FRIENDS TYRANT! * STILL RAINS DOWN HEAVY BLOWS THAT WOULD KILL IF HIT * LET THIS END NOW!
QuickySlippy: *Runs and tackles the king to keep the warden from being killed*
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: * falls to the ground, face in dirt, stunned! *
Toshioka Kiri: *shocked at everything*
*in a fit of madness, runs up and aims a snap and axe kick at Tree’s head in attempt to knock her out*
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: A LOT OF IMPORTANT THINGS HAVE HAPPENED AND WE SORT OF LEFT ON A CLIFF HANGER OH MY ODIN.
The Tyrant-Warden returned with her three captives all under possession – she, quickyslippy, wearedragonsonberk, and kiritheblue, all threatening the Rebels of the Grounded Dungeon.  The rebels come to arms and urge their possessed comrades to return to their side and snap out of this mind control.  However, both wearedragonsonberk and quickyslippy appear incapable of combatting the control placed over them. They advance antagonistically against the members of the Grounded Dungeon Rebellion while the Tyrant-Warden above them demands that King Haddock bow down to her. King Haddock resolutely refuses to bow.
Hiccup-the-seasick-viking unleashes the dragon Furious desperately to try to assist matters and lbigreyhound13 suggests the rebels use more enchantments against Tree while tensions worsen between the Tyrant-Warden and the Viking Ninja kiritheblue. The Viking Ninja manages to step out and get freed from the possession, declaring “I… will… NOT BOW DOWN!!! NOW LET GO OF ME! I am a Viking Ninja!  I am a procurer of tea!  I am ME! I believe in narrative catharsis!  Sometimes we need sad headcanons!  And we still stand tall! I won’t let you control me!  Not now, not EVER!!”
However, once the Tyrant-Warden realized that the Viking Ninja had broken free, she pulled her claws up to kiritheblue’s throat and threatened to kill her. King Haddock, frantically, began running toward the Viking Ninja in a brave rescue attempt, Chief Akkey charging right behind. At that moment, wehavedragosonberk becomes lucid, freeing from the possession, and dives at Tree’s feet, clawing at her, in an attempt to save kiritheblue.
However, Tree lunges right at wehavedragonsonberk and wounds her severely along the ribcage. The Viking Ninja runs in to try to carry wehavedragonsonberk away to safety, picking her up to carry her to a healer. King Haddock, meanwhile, in a rage, swings his sword Endeavor at the Warden in an attempt to end her life. But quickyslippy jumps in and tackles Haddock to the ground before his sword lands a hit. King Haddock crashes to the ground, dazed, face-first.
At this moment, the Whispering Death and the Dragon Whisperer swoop in for back-up.

*blinks*
What.
Okay.
*blinks again*
*then hopes to Odin that the others are there to take care of this and promptly passes out*
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: * stands up slowly in a complete daze, earlier rage forgotten upon hearing these incredibly unexpected words *
* gapes *
* gestures, mutely, for handcuffs *
* finally finds the voice to speak *
We… accept your surrender, Warden. But do not think that this means you can trick us. We will be watching you extremely, extremely closely with multiple guards every hour of the day. We will keep you in an area at the periphery of our base, from where you cannot see our main going-ons.
Rest for now. We will talk later.
Akkey Black: THE WARDEN HAS SURRENDERED.
Tend to injured! Report to Commander Starfire for healing. Whilst the King meets with his soldiers for our next steps. Many issues must still be resolved.
Grey Bergman: *comes flying in on her Night Fury, Shadow* Are you okay?!
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: Odin.  I… I… think so. I think I’m okay.
But did you just hear what the Warden said?
Surrender.
How hard did I hit my head? I can hardly believe this.
Come on. Let’s place the Warden on Sky and fly her to her new place of residence. 
Grey Bergman: I know! I can’t believe it either. But I don’t know, Haddock. This has to be some kind of trick. We need to keep a close eye on the Warden and make sure she doesn’t try anything funny.
Commander StarFire: Bring me the wounded. I shall tend to her.  But the rest is in the Gods hands.
Gareth Ragnar Haddock the Second: That is the best you can do. And we appreciate it greatly.
