"Ow!" Luz said, when stringbean appeared and bit her on the ear. "Stringbean, it's you! You sweet little power noodle. I'm so happy to see you. Are Mama and the others okay?" Luz asked. 

As Luz speaks, Stringbean floats towards Luz's hands as she carries the palisman in her palms. Stringbean squeaks apologetically in response to Luz's question. Luz looks to her right worriedly. Luz started walking down the corridors of the castle. Eventually, she finds the front door and walks out of it. She walks up the bridge and looks around in fear.

"Where is everyone?" She asks. She walks over to the edge and looks down, then gasps in shock. Beneath the bridge, various residents of the Boiling Isles have been petrified, with an expression of shock and horror frozen on their faces.

"No! No, no, no! Wh- When did this happen?" Luz asked, scared- no horrified. "Don't you remember?" Amity asks as I take my place next to her. Luz looks towards the source of the sounds, eyes wide and in surprise. Far away from her, Amity and I is standing side by side on the platform on the other side that connects the bridge, holding their staff's. They don't make eye contact with Luz, but their voice's is filled with anger. This is all your doing. You helped Belos meet The Collector." I said. "Your actions led to THIS." I said once I made eye contact, my eyes shining a bright crimson red and my magic aura was surrounding me. Tears were formed in my eyes. 

"You've been the real villain this whole time!" Amity and I said, at the same time. As Amity speaks, she raises her staff and points at Luz. I then follow her actions but I ditch my staff and have magic energy balls in my hands. "Wha- Listen, I- I don't know what I missed, but I'd never do this." She said desperately. Luz takes off her cloak and throws it aside. "See?" She said. The cloak flies down the bridge and drops among the petrified statues. I looked at her in despair, I then closed my eyes as Amity started speaking. "I'm sorry, Luz. But we have to take you down." she draws a spell circle and summons some abomination goo, then rides on it and rushes forward towards Luz. 

"Amity, please!" Luz cried. Luz narrowly dodges Amity's abomination goo and runs away. I then shoot energy waves at her and amity launches the goo towards Luz. Stringbean immediately transforms into a staff, enabling Luz to escape on it and narrowly misses another attack from Amity and i. Luz flies past the angry girls and into the castle. The doors slam shut, finally blocking the attacks from the girls. 

"This isn't a dream. This is a nightmare!" Luz said. She flies through a corridor, then lands and runs down another corridor to her right. Suddenly, she finds herself in a surrounding similar to Willow's mindscape. "Trees?" She asks. She notices something on her right and turns towards that direction. Not far away from her, Willow is kneeling in front of a tree.

"Willow!" Luz cried. She runs towards Willow. Luz stands infront of her, which shows her holding a seedling in her palms with a blank expression. "Oh Willow, I'm so happy to see you. Do you know what's going on? I just saw Amity, and-" 

"You know, Luz, my life changed after I met you. I finally believed that there was this big, bright future ahead of myself." Willow interrupted Luz. As Willow speaks, she stands up and turns around to face Luz. Wind starts blowing around the same.
