The heroes emerged into a purple forest.
Suddenly, Thomas noticed a trail of stones on the ground.
"Follow this trail." He said.
"Are you crazy?" said Hank.
"This is the Poison Forest! My mother says that it's dangerous here!"
"Looks pretty safe to me!" insisted Thomas.
They followed the stone trail.
They eventually came to the end of the trail.
"The trail ends here! We must be gettin' close to the next doll!" said Thomas.
"Stop!" said Hank. "It's too dangerous!"
They stopped.
The sound of a switch being flipped echoed across the Poison Forest as a trapdoor opened underneath the siblings, dropping them into an inescapable abyss.
They slid down a twisty slide, with twisted carnival music.
"Ahhhh!" they screamed.
It came as a real surprise when the slide abruptly ended, and the siblings were dropped into a silver funnel.
Sitting on a magenta throne, enclosed by stone statues of people, Miss M watched the machine the funnel led to as it made weird noises.
Out of the machine the six kids went, with tape around their waists on a conveyer belt.
"That tape should hold you." said Miss M.
"Who in the name of God are you?" asked Hank.
"I am the Magenta Wing..." Miss M said before striking a pose with a magenta cape she had on top of the leather jacket flowing. "MISS M!!!"
"Free us!" said Larry.
"Okay," said Miss M as she snapped her fingers and the tape disappeared.
The six siblings got up.
"Let's fight this woman!" said Gary.
Miss M then pushed all the statues off and they shattered.
She fought the six boys.
The battle was hard.
She had the powers of turning the kids to stone, but then they broke out of it.
Just then, Larry was sure he saw a flash of recognition in Miss M's eyes.
"Mavis, is that really you? Why are you doing this?" he asked.
He then noticed tears forming in the Magenta Butterfly's eyes.
"You're conscious," said Larry.
"That's horrible! I have to put you out of your misery. How?"
"You could off her painfully or painlessly." suggested Hank.
"While it would be tempting to off her painfully, I mustn't. I should off her painlessly."
And with that, he drew a sword and put it forth with his eyes shut.
It touched Miss M's chest, and she collapsed, saying "thank you".
"That was relatively quick and painless," said Larry. "I did what I had to do."
Suddenly, they noticed a box next to Miss M's body, and they opened it.
Inside were two more strangely lifelike dolls.
As Arthur and Hank picked up the two dolls, questions were in their head. Why were these dolls lifelike? Why did they look like their dads?
Only time would tell...

"How is it going boss?" asked Nanami.
"Terrible," said Chi. "I seem to have lost contact with Miss M, and the kids have escaped."

"Oh, you poor boy!" exclaimed Nanami, tossing herself into her boss's arms. "I feel so sorry for you!"
"Remember when I rescued you from being an orphan?" asked Chi. "I couldn't bear for you to live your days in the gross alleys, eating that yucky garbage, begging for useless money and drinking that disgusting water out of dirty drains!"
"Oh, yes I do!" said Nanami. "I lived like that after my mother died!"
"Do you remember the husbands?" asked Alter Ego.
"You know, the ones that turned tail and ran away."
"I don't like to bring it up. I'll bring it up in front of the heroes." said Chi.

I hope you'd enjoyed Nanami's backstory! It, ironically, makes you feel sorry for the gal, doesn't it?
