"We have to do something!" Six yelled over the noise. The ground was growing harder to stand on the longer they waited.

"What do we even do?!" Four shouted grabbing Two, keeping her from tipping over. Taylor pointed to right above the chair where the Corruption surrounded Mono. Although it was covered in eyes there was one bigger than the rest from which the aura seemed to be coming from.

It seemed to click for all of them that right there could be their weak point. But as they made it in their minds to attack they heard a familiar raspy growl. That sandpapery chalk on a chalkboard sound came from behind them and they turned to find two giant Corruptids glaring down at them with their three eyes and salivating.

The kids looked at each other and having already talked about how to take these monstrosities out they lept into action.

Im floating.

I feel nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

My body touches the ground and I lay there.

It's dark and cold. But it's quiet.

"You're not dead kid" I heard a deep voice. It wasn't familiar yet it was at the same time. I opened my eyes and lifted my head to find myself looking into the eyes of the Thin Man. I got to my feet confused but less angry than I thought I'd be.

"Confused? Yeah...we always are."

We..?

"We?" I asked. He pulled up a small chair like the big one he sat in.

"Have a seat and I'll explain." He gestured to the chair with a hand twice the size of me. I sat down and he leaned back with a sigh.

"It's a long story but here goes.."

"Im you"

I just looked at him. One: that wasn't long at all, and two: what the hell?

"I know it's hard to understand but just listen. After we save Six from her prison here and we almost fall trying to excape Six catches us..but every time she least us go."

"No way....she wouldn't do that!"

"We always think that. Until we spend the next fifty years stuck in this darkness waiting for the next us to come around and repeat the process..."

"...But she didn't let me go..."

"Exactly! Something changed this time. Something broke the loop and now there's a chance you, we can be free."

I was still so confused. How was this possible? How was I speaking to me? Where was I? What was happening to me in the Tower?

"I know you have questions but you have to understand... you've broken the cycle. The Corruption has no control over you anymore and it's trying as we speak to destroy your friends and take your body as a host."

The five scattered as the two Corruptids glitched to where they just had been, long claws scraping the fleshy ground. They weaved around like this for a while trying to find an opening. Six jumped out of the way of ones claws but was hit with the others tentical and crashed into Seven.
