Six knew that if she stopped for too long, she, Mono, and her shadow would most likely die.

 Mono coughed, "Why did you come back for me?" he inquired while she was leaping from platform to platform as the true form of the tower chased them. 

"Look, I felt guilty for leaving you behind, so as soon as I could come back for you, I did, and look where we are now," Six said hastily as she dodged some of the tower's tendrils. She kept dodging and keeping Mono away from the tendrils until they reached the bridge to the exit. 

 "I WON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE!!" the tower roared as it destroyed the bridge to the way out, "NEITHER WILL I!!" she yelled back as Shadow floated to the exit and Six hummed the music box melody and teleported with Mono to her shadow. 

But that wasn't enough for the young girl, and an idea popped into her head.

"Hope you like fire!!" she said while lighting a paper, throwing it into one of the tower's mouths, flipping it off, and jumping through the exit with Shadow and Mono. 

However, they did not have time to take a break, as Six set Mono down, the Viewers who were angered by the TVs turning off and signals disappearance, started chasing the two children and the small shadow. 

Six grabbed Mono's hand and started running from the Viewers with great urgency, she was looking around when she saw that Shadow was waving at them as it was following the Nomes to their nest. 

After humming the melody, she and Mono teleported to her shadow and the Nomes, and they started running, jumping, and climbing hastily to get out of danger. Then finally, they had reached safety, and they knew that now, they could rest.
