*Third Person POV*

John stood quite a distance away as both Vurb and Ant, who were now under his control were facing off against their friends and teacher. Astelic and Stampy handled Vurb while Tubbo and Puffy fought with Ant while also trying to reason with him. 

"Vurb, stop this! Come back to your senses, man!" Astelic yelled as she was about to be hit by one of Vurb's attacks before Stampy saved her by forming a vertical tower to protect her. 

"It's no use, he isn't hearing anything you say... I reckon the only way to get him to snap out of it is by taking out the source!" Stampy suggested. 

Meanwhile, while engaging into combat with Ant, Tubbo made the realisation that Ant was a literal cat, which technically made him an animal. This fact interested him as it got him quite curious. 

"Puffy, I'm gonna try something!" Tubbo announced. 

"Try what?" Puffy asked. 

"This!" Tubbo replied as he activated his quirk, trying to reason with Ant. 

As Ant was charging towards the two, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and stood utterly still before getting on all fours for some reason. It seemed like Tubbo's theory worked to their favour. 

"Huh, should've done that earlier." Tubbo mentioned. 

"Gee, ya think?" Puffy asked. 

"Anyway, let me see if I can override John's mind control on Ant.... Got it!" Tubbo exclaimed happily. 

As the shade of sinister yellow faded away from Ant's eyes, the half human half cat individual was confused. What just happened? Wasn't he fighting John like a minute ago? Why was he on all fours?

"Someone explain to me what the heck happened?" Ant asked. 

"Later, right now we have to take on John!" Tubbo replied. 

"It seems that you have somehow succeeded in overriding my mind control, impressive." John spoke in his usual emotionless tone. 

"Well it was a bargain." Tubbo added on. 

"Perhaps physical combat would suit your taste-" 

John was kicked in the head by Ant almost immediately. The power of Ant's kicked was powerful enough to knock John out as the man fell onto the floor face-first. Apparently, Ant now had quite the grudge against the man since he clearly didn't enjoy being mind-controlled. 

As John's consciousness faded away, the sinister shade of yellow on Vurb's eyes disappeared. Happy that her friend was okay, Astelic pulled Vurb into a crushing bear hug. 

"I'm not sure what I did to deserve that, but I'll take it!" Vurb exclaimed both happily and confusedly. 

It seemed like the entire situation was over until the sound of hand-clapping could be heard, along with the teeny tiny feeling of vibration from footsteps, getting a little bit louder every second. 

Almost immediately, everyone picked their guard back up. They saw an extremely skinny man with a rather long and messy moustache, he also wore red and yellow attire. Nobody knew who this man was, nobody but Stampy. 

"So... you're mixing with kids now, aren't you? Don't you have a fiancé to attend to?" The man spoke, his voice rather coarse and raspy. 

"You... I thought you were imprisoned!" Stampy yelled. 

"Well, it would seem your assumption are incorrect. For I, am clearly standing here, right in front of you." The man replied. 

"It doesn't matter, I'll always defeat you." Stampy announced. 

"Who is this homeless man? You look starved! Heh, sucks to be you." Vurb chuckled. 

"This one talks rather big. Anyway, I am Thomas. But please, call me Hit." The man politely introduced. 

Almost immediately, two pillars made of rubble rose from the ground and directed themselves toward Hit at incredible speeds. Not even Ant, who was the most agile of this specific group could keep up. 

In self defence, Hit forced his palm against the two pillars as they closed in. Almost instantly, the pillars started to disintegrate. As the pillars were dusted completely, Hit wore a smug look on his face. 

"How could I forget? You and I are perfect parallels! You create non-organic matter... And I destroy non-organic matter... Wouldn't you agree, Stamps?" Hit asked. 

"You shut your mouth!" Stampy yelled. 

"Oh? Perhaps you are still furious at me... I understand as I was the one who killed your PAWN! Squiddy was his name, correct?" Hit asked. 

"Wait... The Ballistic Squid Sidekick, Squiddy!? Didn't the hero association announced that he retired like years ago!?" Puffy asked. 

"Ah, they even tried to cover it up... Did they have that less respect for a sidekick? Well I don't blame them, it was never easy to take the fool seriously either way." Hit chuckled. 

And with that, Stampy snapped. Pillars rose from all directions as they all sped towards Hit. To avoid getting crushed by the pillars, Hit performed a backflip and slapped each pillar one by one, causing all of them to disintegrate. 

"Ah yes, our long awaited rematch... I've been aching for this!" Hit yelled.
