ANNE'S POV

Does Anne feel bad for leaving Sasha behind? Yeah. Is she returning back to catch her? Absolutely not.

She has other things rumbling in her mind, her brain is inside a washing machine, shaken and confused.

She walks fast on the hallway, one foot ahead another, without turning her head to look around. She doesn't stop even for a second, she doesn't feel the need to take a break from her run.

She arrives at the stairs and goes down. She's pretty sure Marcy has to be in the prison of the castle. She arrives downstairs and looks around.

She's in a tight hallway, lightened up by some torch hung at the walls. Anne rubs her arms, shivering.

She walks ahead, glances fast inside every cage, all the doors are open. There's no one around. Anne frowns and returns back as she arrives at the end of the hallway. It was a dead end.

She goes upstairs this time, feeling more and more anxious at every step. Why is the castle empty? She was waiting for some robots or guards.

She stops near a window, looking down. The battle is difficult for the rebels, Anne sees flashes of different colours from the ground. She clenches her jaw. They are out of time.

-ANDRIAS, I'M BACK!- She shouts out loud, running on the stairs. Finally she arrives at the throne room. Andrias must be there.

-Hey there, lizard!- Anne says as she steps inside the large room. The throne on the other side of the room is huge, Andrias-sized. Behind it, there's a window that occupies the entire wall. Anne frowns. The entire room is empty.

-What the...?- She curses, walking close to the throne. All around it there are hung on the ceiling black tubes, they arrive on the ground. Anne knees down near a tube and caresses it, feeling the cold of the metal.

-Welcome, Anne!- A voice breaks the silence all of sudden. Anne flinches like a cat, scared by the voice. She almost jumps behind.

-Who's there, show yourself!- She says, lighting up her hands. The black tubes shines of blue. She walks around the throne, the voice came from the balcony outside the window.

-Why don't you come here, darling?- The voice goes on, Anne's sure whoever is talking it's outside. The voice sounds familiar but distorted, like more people are talking at the same moment.

Anne exits on the balcony, opening a window. There's a figure stuck near the end of the balcony, leaning at the balustrade. They're observing the battle under them.

Anne frowns and stops behind them, without coming too close. The figure wears a strange, black suit, they're wrapped in a black and red coat.

-I don't know who you are but the game's over.- Anne says, aggressive. She's ready to fight. She doesn't expect at all the reaction of the figure. They burst out laughing, amused by Anne's behaviour.

-What...?- Anne mutters, blushing. -Why are you... laughing?- She says, offended.

-Oh, Anne, silly.- The figure speaks again and a shiver crosses Anne's back. Now she understands why that voice sounded familiar. Anne turns pale and makes a step behind as the figure turns around and faces her.

Marcy smiles to Anne but they're different. Their eyes are red, the raven hair is covered with a black elmer decorated with horns. Their smile is sharp, evil. They're not Marcy.

Anne feels the world start spinning around her, she misses a breath.

-Mar Mar?- She murmurs, shocked. Marcy shrugs and smiles again.

-Not exactly, darling. I'm Darcy, the bee queen you're looking for...- Marcy raises both their hands and stops them close to the face, covering one eye. With the other they wink, malicious.

-Inside my beautiful mind there are all the smartest guy of Amphibia Anne, darling. Oh, yeah...- Marcy makes a bothered sign with their hand, like their trying to catch a fly.

-Somewhere there's also your friend. Your Mar Mar...- Marcy caresses their chin. -But I'm not sure 'friend' is the right term...what about doll? Or toy?- Marcy sighs, pretending to be offended.

-After all, you never cared about this little girl here. Never cared about her feelings.- Anne closes her hands so strong that she feel the warmth of blood when her nails cut the skin.

-Marcy's not a girl (sorry for my nonbinary marcy headcannon being so annoying UwU), you damn mind controller! And we are friends!!- She says out loud, trying to win the voice inside her who's whispering the opposite. You never cared, you never cared.

Marcy bursts out laughing, tilting behind their head and helmet.

-You're so funny Annie! It's all you care about? Your friend has been trapped and tortured and it's your fault but this doesn't look like a problem to you, does it?- They go on talking, always with that little, evil smile bending their lips.

Anne swallows.

-That's...not true! No, I mean... you're right, Marcy was trapped and...and it's my fault. But I'm here to save them!- She tries to say but the words seem tied in her mouth.

Marcy snaps their tongue on the palate and raises a brow, sceptical.

-Oh, yeah? And how you think you can beat me?- They wide opens their arms, standing in front of Anne without any weapon or defense. Anne feels her hands trembling.

-I'm gonna tell you a secret, Annie! I'm the queen of the hive mind! Since Andrias connected this little child with me, I started controlling every single soldier. You can't save your friends, you can't save Amphibia if you don't beat me, first.- They say, talking slow and marking every word.

Every single syllable is a stab wound for Anne, who swings, she doesn't feel stable anymore on her own legs.

-You're lying!- She whispers, holding tight on that hope. She can't fight Marcy in that state. She doesn't wanna hurt them! She can't. Marcy laughs again.

-Oh, dear dear Anne. You can't even fight a friend you don't give a shit about to save an entire world! How selfish!- They laughs and speaks, walking close to Anne.

Anne can't help but she feels her knees falling down, she seats on her ankles. What she can do? Marcy stops right in front of her, looking down from their point of view. They smirk another time.

-Ready to lose in one fight your Power, your friends and your loved one, Anne Boonchuy?
