Annie: *wakes up in an empty void* Where am I? Mario, Ed... Shadow? Anyone here?

The lights turn on revealing she's in an arena & she sees someone hunched over & kneeled down

Annie: Hello?

"Ed": hey-

Annie: *rushes over & hugs "Ed"* Thought I was alone here, but, what were you doing in a position like that?

"Ed": isn't it obvious? I'm here to challenge you to a spar

Annie: Odd request considering the circumstances at the moment. Do you really think this is a good time?

"Ed": it's always a good time. Come at me with all you got

Annie: Right back at ya I guess?

The two began which mostly consisted of both "Ed" & Annie mirroring each other's moves to not get hit

"Ed": c'mon is that all you got? I'm expecting a challenge

Annie: {Don't give in Annie... don't give in. This is the one you're in love with...}

"Ed": c'mon Annie. Aren't you a warrior? Fight!

Annie's pupils then dilate a bit as she snapped & began an onslaught of attacks breaking through "Ed's" guard & landing harder hits on him

"Ed" is now on the ground basically knocked out bloody and full of wounds

Literally everyone watching from the outside of the stalagmite: O_O

"CupHead": violent!

"SMG4": uncontrolled!

"Jaiden": killer!

Annie: *returns to her senses & stumbles back seeing her hands & some of her clothing  bloodied* I- I didn't want this to happen.

"Luigi": look what you did!

"Sonic": he loved you! And you can't control yourself to harm him

Annie: *slumps against a wall* I didn't mean for this to happen... I didn't want this...

Infinite: but it did, Young one. Hahaha! It doesn't matter what you mean, But what you did. And you seemed to enjoy it A l o t

Annie: I didn't! Do you know what it's like to harm someone you love?

Infinite; well *a cube plays the laughs Annie did* The past doesn't lie

Annie: Stop it... stop it please...

Infinite: hey, I'm only watching Your actions. You have great power, But no control. You're a danger to your family And yourself

???: *within Annie's head* Embrace it.

Annie: {That voice... Raiden.}

Raiden: Did you seriously forget what I told you? Good cannot exist without a bit of beast within.

Annie: {You're right... I've only been hiding from who I truly am. Everyone else still keeps in good contact with you even after what you showed off so why would it be different for me?}

Raiden: There ya go... now, show this jackass what happens when he pokes a bear!

Annie starts getting back up

Infinite: what are you gonna do now? Fight me? You'll only prove my point

Annie: You're wrong. As someone once told me, 'good cannot exist without a bit of beast within'. My skills are like a sword but I'm the sheath that holds them. But now I say it's time to unsheathe those blades! *she dashes towards Infinite ready to kick his side*
