Once Agoti walked in, he noticed how weird it was that hardly anyone was in the store. He took a deep breath, remembering what just happened, and continued to the drinks section. Looking around,he finally decided on a water. He took a bottle and chuged it. He needed to tell someone about his 'dream'. You would think it was an easy pick, Tabi, but what could he really do. Plus, he was already worried enough. He looked around looking for who to pick. Then his eyes landed on Rasazy. She was eating some Mochi in the freezer aisle. He wondered why he couldn't push talking to her out of his head. That was until a memory hit him.

One he arrived at the car, he hopped in the passenger seat, slammed the door, and buried his face in his hands. This startled Rasazy, but she just looked at him in pity. "Are you alright dude?" "Yes! I'm fine. Just leave me alone." He shouted in response. Rasazy flinched back but took a deep breath to calm herself down and continued looking out the window. "...if you ever wanna talk or vent to anyone, I'm always here for you. Just know that." Rasazy mumbled, not looking away from the window. "Pft, whatever."

He growled before walking over to her, grabbing another water bottle on the way. Rasazy spotted him coming and placed her box down. "Why, hello Agoti. How was your nap?" She asked. "Uh, about that, can we go talk somewhere a little more... 'private' so to speak?" He asked. She hesitated, but nodded. "Sureeee. Can I at least tell someone where we're going?" Agoti shrugged. "Whatever man. It's not like I'm planning on killing you or anything. I just wanna talk... for some reason. Just, hurry up. I'll be in the room with all the boxes." Agoti finally yelled out, rushing to the storage room. Ras sighed and walked over to the closest person she could trust.

"Hey Whitty." Ras said, walking up to her friend. "Oh, what's up Ras? Is everything ok? Agoti isn't picking at you, is he?" He said, being the overprotective friend he is. "Oh no, of course not. I just wanted to tell you, if you need me, I'll be in the storage room chatting with Agoti for a minute." She said, shooting him that reassuring smile of hers. "Really? And you trust that he only wants to talk? Knowing him, he's probably gonna hurt you or some crap. I don't trust it." He suggested. She frowned. "I know, but Tabi's already worried for him, he has been acting differently lately. Maybe he'll finally tell someone why he's been acting so... depressed all of a sudden." She explained. He growled and crossed his arms. "I don't notice anything different about him." "Well, I'm going anyway, I'll be back. Just don't worry too much about me." She explained, skipping off. Whitty growled again and sighed. "Whatever."

As she approached the door, she started to feel herself become more nervous. She took a deep breath and pushed that feeling to the side, placing her hand on the handle and opening the door. It was like entering a maze. So many different shelves with so many boxes. And the oder wasn't too pleasant either. "Um... Agoti! You in here?!" She shouted into the seemingly empty room, her voice echoing off the walls. "Over here!" She heard from around the left side of the room. She ran over their and saw him sitting on a box labeled to have some boxes of roman in it.

"So, I'm here. What did you want to talk about?" She asked, sitting on the floor in front of him. He glanced at her then went back to looking at the floor. "*sigh* I can't believe I'm telling you this, but I am. Do you remember the weird demon thing with the lemon head?" He asked. Rasazy nodded, "Yea, his head isn't actually a lemon though, but yea, Monster. What about him?" "Well, apparently during my 'nap' he decided to bring me into his little hideout. So while y'all thought I was sleeping, my soul or whatever was actually with Monster in his little land." He explained. Rasazy gasped. "So you've seen where he stays?!" "Shhhh, and yes. Imagine what He77 looks like, but with a giant castle. But anyway, he showed me everyone who was corrupted, all of our friends and everything. He told me it wasn't worth fighting for. Majority rules after all. And then he told me the corruption was already on me, and it took over me and then I woke up. It's tupid, but I truly don't believe that it was just a dream and I know Tabi would freak out in his current state, so I'm telling you." He explained, still not averting his eyes away from the floor.

"Wow... that's something. What exactly made you trust me? Not saying you shouldn't have or anything, but why?" She asked, placing a hand on his shoulder. He flinched back, causing her to pull her hand away. "Not sure,ask my conscience." He said, standing up. "Oh, well ok. Do you know why you may have had that dream or whatever that was?" She asked. "I don't know. I've been slowly getting sader the last few days, but it really hit me hard today."She nodded and brought her finger up to her chin. "Well, it sounds like he may be in your head trying to either corrupt you or lower your guard-"

"he's WHAT?!" Agoti shouted, gripping his head. "No, calm down, I'm sure it'll be fine. He's possessed Selever before and nothing bad happened. He's probably not too strong when it comes to brain work." She explained, gripping his arms, trying to calm him down. "Wha- he's not in your head, how do I calm down?!" He whisper shouted at Ras, pushing her off. She frowned, but backed off some. "Alright, Ii'll give you a little room because I know that's scary to think about, but I promise you it's not as frightening as it sounds." She explained. "He's in my head. What about that is not scary???" He shouted instead. "Because he can't do much. He's not too strong at this so he can't even kill you. Trust me, you'll be fine. I promise." He shook his head and sat down. "Why me?" He said, a tear slipping down his head. She frowned and walked up to him, engulfing him in a hug. He flinched a little, but quickly hugged her back. "Thank you Ras." He muttered, obviously embarrassed. "No problem, I'm always here for you, even if you don't normally like me." She grinned, beginning to walk out.

He sighed and looked at his hands. Luckily, their was no corruption to be seen, but maybe Monster was corrupting him from the inside out. Maybe he was already halfway there. "Hey Ras!" He suddenly called out. "Yes?" She asked, turning around. "I don't think I should stay with you all anymore." She gasped and ran up to him. "Why?" "Because, if what you says it's true, I could be endangering you guys. He can see all of our plans and possibly corrupt you all. It's not safe." He stated, backing away some. "No, I'm sure it's fine. Nothing's happened yet-" "but it might and we can't take that chance. We are the only ones left, I can't have y'all becoming corrupt." She sighed, a tear going down her face. "But we need you to beat him." "Rasazy, would you rather me stay and us all become corrupt and the world end or would you rather me stay here and y'all still have a chance to save everyone?" He asked. She hung her head low. "That's what I thought. I'll lock myself in here once you leave and you can tell them why. I wish you all luck." He said, pushing her out slightly.

"Alright, we'll all miss you though. I guess I'll see you again... whenever. Maybe never considering I'm probably going to have to go back into my void again after this whole corruption." She explained, more tears filling her eyes. "Well, if everything succeeds then you'll have your brother back, that should be good enough. Now go before they start worrying." He said, trying to get her out more. She nodded and held her arms out. "One more hug before I go? I know you don't like me that much, but I'll still miss you." Agoti sighed and nodded. "Why not?" He sarcastically said, bringing her into his arms. After what seemed like forever, she finally pulled away. Looking behind her, she saw Tabi standing their, tears streaming down his head as well. "I'll miss you bro." He said, walking up to Agoti. "Miss you too dude. Save Ayano and keep Hex safe for me." He said, pulling him into a hug. Then he whispered, "And make sure Rasazy gets her brother back." Tabi grinned and nodded, patting his back. "See you on the flip side dude." Tabi finally said, pulling away from the hug and walking out, Rasazy following close behind. Before she left, she waved bye and grinned.

Everyone else was sad to hear that he was staying, but knew they only had an hour left before they were at the church so they had to push it behind them. Everyone stayed in the same trucks this time except this time, Whitty drove and Hex sat in the passenger's seat. Cassandra still stood in the back and Kapi kept her company in the back, letting the spooky kids take a little nap. One was in one car and the other was in the other. After what seemed like forever, they finally made it, but something was off. The church was destroyed.
