Nikola brought up a stronger light, so he could see better. He looked around trying to figure out what to do. Being in boat in the Underworld was not a great place to be.

Seven Aces squinted at the light, NO! I can't lose control right now, thought Seven Aces. He made it darker around him, and started to try and change his flying platform into something more Underworldly. The light platform transformed into a giant saddle, and the three headed demon dog of Hades appeared below Seven Aces. "Ah, a much more appropriate mount." Seven Aces said, very pleased, though the throbbing in the back of Raphael's head was getting worse. "So Nikola? How are you going to get out of this? Your literally on a boat ride down to oblivion, and you don't want to know where the River Styx ends." Seven Aces said happily as he dashed forward on Cerberus. "I can see a bend in the river, if you don't learn how to steer that boat you might as well be making your will right now! Oh, and make sure I'm in it, if you'd be so kind." Seven Aces said, as if he couldn't wait for Nikola to die.

Nikola had seen Seven Aces make it darker, as if the light bothered him. That gave him an idea. He drew in a deep breath and used every ounce of his power to bring out a blinding light. A sudden flash lit up the area around him, blinding him. He ducked his head, covering his eyes with his hands.

Seven Aces was blinded, he couldn't fend off that much light. "NO! No you fool!" Seven Aces said as he was forced to recede back into the darkest corner of Raphael's mind. Raphael started to come back, his skin getting back some color. Though, controlling the platform of light for that long had made the throbbing in his head critical. He blacked out as he fell from the back of Cerberus, and all the illusions fell, and Raphael hit the road, hard. Luckily it was grassy by the road, so he wasn't skidding across hard asphalt, but still, hitting anything at 85 miles an hour will hurt. Raphael was unconscious when he stopped rolling, and was in pretty bad shape, with cuts from head to toe, clothes ripped, and a few broken ribs, and a broken arm.

Nikola blinked as the illusions fell. He quickly jumped into the drivers seat and slammed on the brakes. He jumped out of the car and ran to Raphael. During all that, he had forgotten about Seven Aces, that he came out when it was dark. He shook his head, he should have known. He didn't know what to do for Raphael, he seemed to be beat up pretty bad.

Raphael didn't know what time it was, or where he was, but he knew that he was hurtin' pretty bad. His head was throbbing, his chest was hurting, and his arm was bent a weird way, and there was this laughing in the back of his head. Also there was just this little force stopping him from becoming conscious, but he could still think, it was weird. Welp, this sucks, thought Raphael. Now what? I hope Nikola can figure something out. Hmmm, I wonder if I can still control light, thought Raphael, but if I can't see, then how could I? Hmm, I'll give it a shot, he imagined a light form of himself standing up on him, he couldn't see what was going on, but he felt like it was working, or was that his imagination...

A shining light form of Raphael appeared above his chest, laughing and smiling. What the heck? WHere had that come from? Nikola looked around but he couldn't see any one who could have done it. He shook his head and turned back to Raphael. He seemed pretty beat up, his arm was definitly broken, probably a few broken ribs too. Nikola had no idea what he could do to help him, and he didn't think moving him would help at all, it would probably make his condition worse.

I hear somebody, thought Raphael, is it Nikola? Hmm, maybe I can get some words out if I make something else appear. Raphael willed the light somemore, and thought about angle wings on the light Raphael. He then put light shining around him, and then he slowly accended upwards toward heaven. Raphael had always wanted to be able to fly with wings, so that was always his favorite thing to imagine. Right after he made the Raphael fly way up, did he realise that, if Nikola was out there, he might take it the wrong way. Here's Raphael blacked out on the side of a road, and then this shining angel of him flies skyward. Crap...Nikola's gonna think I'm dead, thought Raphael. He hurried to break through the little force that was keeping him somewhat unconcious. How come so little a power can keep me down!? Thought Raphael.

Nikola saw the wings appear on the shining Raphael and it float up. He wondered about it for just a second before realization dawned on him. No! Raphael could not be dead! That couldn't happen!
"No! Raphael! This can't be! No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Nikola wimpered. His friends couldn't be dead, not after all this. Raphael couldn't die. Nikola couldn't lose another person that he cared about. A sob escaped his body, and he fell on his knees, clutching his arms around his stomach. The tears poured down, and he didn't even try to control the sobs wracking his body once more.

Hey! Nikola!, Raphael thought, crap. Stupid barrier. Wait a second, why is it raining in my mind? Hey! It starting to dissolve the barrier! I can see a light! Just have to wiggle here, poke through there, and...Ha ha! I'm free! Just have to get all this stuff off me! Raphael kept fighting in his mind. Ahh! Free! Weird, I'm falling, hey! I can see the ground! and there's my body! and there's Nikola! and there's the CRAP! GROUND!! Raphael's mind hit the ground...hard. "Owww......" moaned Raphael. "Why does everything hurt, and why are you crying?" Questioned, "and why does everything hurt!?" Groaned Raphael extra loud. "and should my arm bend that way?"....Raphael almost passed out again at looking at his arm.

"Raphael! You're alive! Thank God, you're alive! Wait a minute, if you're alive, than what was that angel thing? And no, your arm is not supposed to do that, and you hurt because you fell and skidded across the ground. And I was crying because I thought you were dead, but you're not," Nikola explained.

"Oh,....well that sucks," Said Raphael nonchalantly. "Ok...so do you know first aid? Because if I ain't goin' far if I don't get at least a cast for my arm. I'm pretty sure it's broken." Said Raphael, he was in so much pain that it all just kind of mushed together inside him. Also, if you don't know how to drive like a crazed maniac on crack, then we ain't gonna make it to Ireland. So...yeah...welp! First things first, I have to get off the ground!" Explained Raphael, he had had some worse things done to him before, not much worse, but worse so he could at least manage the pain. "So umm...yeah...well. Good luck with that Nikola!" Raphael said, almost jokingly, then he cringed because it hurt his ribs to laugh.

"What the heck, Raphael? You're hurt and still making jokes? Is there something wrong with you that I didn't know about until now? And no, I don't know first aid..." Nikola said. He sat on his knees, looking around helplessly. He had no idea what to do, and his shame showed on his face. He should know something to do, he should know something to help.

"Well, if I was hurt an not making jokes I would still be sad now wouldn't I? But now I feel mildly good." Raphael said with a little smile. "Ok, well, then let's at least get me into the car so we can get going." Raphael said, using his good arm to push himself up into a sitting position. "Well, that was a fun adventure right? To bad I missed out on most if it, oh and Nikola...sorry about that and all. I didn't know I would go all crazy in there. It's just the darkness, it...does things to me." Raphael said, looking down. "Well here, go get me some long sturdy sticks, so I can make a splint. And, once we get in the car, we can work on the whole crack driver thing. Ok?" Raphael said, carefully standing up, it hurt a lot more than Raphael was letting on, but if Nikola thought Raphael was morbidly wounded that would put a big halt in the journey to Ireland. Raphael waddled to the car, and got into the passenger side.

Nikola shook his head as Raphael waddled over to the car. He hurried off to find the sturdy sticks and went back to Raphael. He shook his head once again, but this time, he had a smile on his face.
"Raphael, my friend, you are forever full of surprises. Try not to let Seven Aces kill me again, please? I prefer to finish the trip with my good friend, not die on it. And I forgive you for everything, my friend. But please, never give me a stunt driving course without telling me, I've had so little driving experience, I'm not even comfortable with driving slowly," Nikola said.
