My eyes flash as I tap into the raw mental energy that makes up the mindscape. A massive shockwave of energy bursts forth in an attack that should neutralize those defenses, unless, of course, Freak Boy resists.

The mental defenses go down, however... Freak Boy doesn't have complete control of his mind. The forces of the Army of Insanity still have their say in things.
Agression, a tall muscular biker looking Freak Boy with a shaved head and beard goatee combo, and Paranoia, an ahnorexically skinny and twitchy looking Freak Boy with Einstein looking hair, step out from an alleyway wielding strange looking weapons.
"Who're you?" Agression asks in a hostile tone.

I note that these manifestations are overly large and powerful. While they aren't malignant by any stretch of the imagination, they are certainly harmful. I do not wish to extract them, though I will need to lessen their power. Without answering I use one of my own mental abilities, pressing my will upon them to lock them down so that they cannot move.

Paranoia shrieks and starts screaming. "Hey, hey! Stalinist spies! Stalinist spies have invaded the psyche!!"
In a matter of seconds, the armies of Insanity begin arriving. Out of the two leading vehicles step Depression, Self Pity, Anxiety and Arrogance.
Depression is a large and round Freak Boy that seems to resemble the Kingpin, Self Pity is a sad looking Freak Boy in a white suit with a large stain on it. Anxiety is in a straight jacket but looks just like Freak Boy when he doesn't comb his hair, and Arrogance looks like Freak Boy with slicked back hair, an expensive suit and a flawless figure and strong chin with broad shoulders.
"Stalinist, surrender now and we won't harm you. Resist, however, and you WILL be attacked." Arrogance shouts, gesturing to the several nameless, faceless soldiers of Insanity aiming their weapons at him.

My eyes flash. I have identified the problem. Drawing my will about me, I lash out with a powerful, concussive force, striking at the insanity with all my might.

Unfortunately for Oneiroi, the forces of Insanity are numerous enough so that even with the nameless, faceless soldiers that he knocked back down, there are more than enough to take him out. However, just as the nuts is about to hit the fan, the Army of Sanity shows up.
Confidence is leading, this is a reasonably handsome and muscular looking Freak Boy with short and well kept hair.
"Protect the Psychologist, we need his help!" Confidence orders as Sanity's army shows up. He jumps down next to Oneiroi. "Hurry, you're in grave danger here. This turf belongs to Insanity."

"I will defeat the insanity here and now," I say grimly, building energy about me. I release it again, combining my powers over the mindscape with my own disabling psionic ability and unleashing it like a wave over the forces of Insanity.

"I do apologize, good Dr., but this case is more... severe than those you've dealt with. This war's been waged for ten years and as powerful as you are in his plain, the forces of Insanity control the Cerebellum, Frontal Lobe and the Medula Oblongatta(sp?) We need to get out of here for now, you seem to have attracted alot of attention." Logic says, appearing from nowhere and running the calculations through on an abbicus(sp?)
Logic was a brainy looking Freak Boy with oversized glasses and a chili bowl haircut. His glasses slid down his nose whnever he moved.
As Logic spoke, the forces of Insanity continued their onslaught. While their forces were not as numerous as previously, in this portion of Freak Boy's mind, it was not Freak Boy who ruled, but Insanity, meaning Oneiroi was met with resistance from the one who owned the mind, Insanity.

I feel the pressure from Freak Boy's mind.
"Very well, let us retreat for now. I can destroy it, but at the moment I am being resisted and will not be able to do so. I must leave before Freak Boy expels me from his mind. That would be... problematic.

"Right then, let's get you to safer ground." Confidence said. "Logic, what do you suggest?"
"Travel to the Right Brain, Insanity isn't dwelling there as much as other portions. Once there we can make it to our base of operations and brief the good doctor on what it is he needs to know." Logic said.
"Ok. Kindness, you lead the good Dr. Logic and I will act as a distraction until then."
"Right. Come back safe." Kindness, a kind faced and sweetly innocent looking Freak Boy, said as he took Oneiroi by the arm.
"I'm afraid I don't see the logic in sending me into a battlefield, I'm a thinker, not a fighter." Logic said to Confidence.
"Oh relax, Logic. I'm sure we'll do fine."
"Easy for you to say, You're full of confidence..."

I nod and follow Kindness.

"It's a good thing you showed up when you did. Insanity grabbed ahold of the Frontal Lobe about three days ago, which resulted in a mental breakdown." Kindness said, leading Oneiroi through a trench as explosions and gunshots sounded all around them.
"Ever since Freak Boy met Iris things have gone to--GET DOWN!!" Kindness shouted, pushing Oneiroi down as mortars flew by.

I comply, extending a barrier of mental energy to protect us.
"Iris? Who is Iris?"

"Iris Faust." Kindness said, handing Oneiroi a file with Freak Boy's thoughts and memories with her on it. "She's the girl Freak Boy is in love with - unfortunately she's also the operator of a top secret project of Red Infinity's, meaning they'd do anything to keep Freak Boy away from her and keep Iris loyal to the party.
"Freak Boy refused to let Red Infinity stand in the way. The ironic thing is that Iris is the daughter of two of Freak Boy's formerly most hated enemies. Lady Violet Zadung and Erika Faust. Erika and Freak Boy made peace with each other recently which has helped keep things stable in here. Ok, move."
Kindness began picking up the pace, rushing towards the Right Brain.

"I see. This is quite unsettling indeed," I say, scanning the memory.
"What are Iris's feelings?"
