It was getting worse.
Despite his best efforts, despite pouring through the library and asking the horsemen, the most he could get about Insanity was that Distortion seemed to cancel it out somehow, that their crystals had a way of filtering the corrupted Fear into that unknown energy, and that somehow Red had found a way to circumvent it and gain control. And right now that was what he wanted most.
Mort loathed going into the portal, but he felt compelled to despite the inherent risks of exposing himself to more Insanity. But he could do this. He did not have to go Home as the whispers continually told him. He had a home at school, with his ghoulfriend and best friend and Student Council and his friends. This was not him dipping his toes to try a new life. It was simply observing the virus at work.
He had several fragments of Insanity. He wondered if he could get more.

The battle began not with a roar, but a whimper. Jack damn those spines.
He could almost heard that horseman from before taunting him and scoffed, shaking himself out of his thinking stupor.

Electricity crackled form Thor as he rushed at the beast, swiping at the spikes shot at him as he grasped at the Insanity tendrils with a vengeance. Could he do this on his own to begin with?
I'm not weak.
Third year, secretary, beholder of Joy, Insanity, and Distortion's effects personally.
I am not weak, Jack damn it.

But what would Bells say if she knew you were doing this?
The thought gave Mort pause, and he growled as the creature slammed him back, clawing at what he could.
She won't know. Not unless I get results.
But guilt immediately pricked him at the thought of keeping more from her. The last time he had tried to keep her separate from Initiate business, it had started a fight where they didn't speak for a week. It hurt to think of even drawing parallels.
But what would hurt worse? Knowing that he did this, or knowing that he did it willingly?

The mist blurred his vision and chills crept up his spine, made the zomboil's head spin as the whispers grew in volume for a few moments. It was just like the haunted house again, gray and gray--but this time with no red to dispel the numbness in his fingers.
He dug Thor's metal fingers into his chest and the pain brought him back in time to raise an arm against the spines, gritting his teeth as he shot electricity in return fire.
Focus.

Focus, damn you.
Another bolt was flung at the creature, its howls like a chorus of many that hurt his ears with their pain. But at last the mist was starting to fade away, and the thing looked more solid.
He couldn't become this thing. It was weak and he was not.

Remembering how the horseman had done it, Mort snatched several shards of distortion crystals, his face almost scowling in concentration as he neared the creature.
Do not bend. Do not break.
You aren't one of them and never will be if you just focus.
He pressed them to its skin and watched as the thing began to shrink and fade in its death throes.

Nothing but more colorful shards were leftover.
Mort cursed his luck and picked up all but one, finding that their power overwhelmed him in a way that nearly threatened to . . . "shift" him again.
But undead were nothing if not persevering.
