Chapter 11: A Kiss of Death and Rebirth

Sector IC

Jacques and Winter descended to the hangar's level on a hovercraft, and Augustus Fizzuras lowered on his plane, the Deadly Baby Trio in the back. "You there! Are you Miyuki Crystal?" Jacques asked.

"Yeah, she is." Terry answered, the girl in question casting a look back.

"The GKND told me you attacked my mom!" Augustus shouted. "Her name's Henrietta. Sound familiar?"

"I was talking to her first, young man!" Jacques retorted.

"Shut it, Whitey!" Rallo snapped.

"Quiet!" Winter ordered. "Why did you sneak into our mansion? And why were you disguised as my sister?"

"Alright then... I'll show you." Miyuki withdrew Verglora. "I was trying to free the spirit in this mask."

"The mask!" Jacques exclaimed. "You...YOU'RE the one who stole it!"

"Father, what is that mask?"

"Th-That's our family treasure! How dare you!"

"How dare you, Jacques. I've reviewed this mask's history, and it would seem you regularly harness its chi to make improvised weapons. Weapons such as Darkness Bombs to drop on your enemies."

"M-My company is known for manufacturing weapons, what difference does that make?"

"Hey, I still ain't getting any answers!" Augustus yelled. "Why did you attack my mom?!"

Miyuki dropped Verglora on the floor, along with the masks of Pea, Jinta, and Whitley. "That looks like... Pea."

"That's Whitley's face!" Winter gasped.

"These people have the power to break the mask's seal. I changed them into masks so they could recall that power."

"It makes more sense when you know the story!" Suki insisted.

"Change my son back this minute!"

"I can't change them back. Only Supreme Leader Cheren can do that. As soon as he gets here, we'll break the mask's seal, then he'll play the Song of Healing to restore these people."

"Song of Healing?" Augustus repeated. "We don't need Cheren for that. I have someone that can-"

"AWOOOOOOOLLL!" A gigantic centipede-like demon burst from the ground, ramming the ships from beneath. Augustus's plane went spiraling, Winter had to freeze herself to their craft, while Jacques dissolved into dust to stay afloat. The colossal centipede curled and smashed the other ships out of the air, its monstrous mask facing down at the operatives venomously.

Majora flew down onto the beast's head. "I call this baby MMetalmold! I created him a while ago, and with so MMany guests here, now seems like a good time to bust him out."

"MAJORA!" Terry exclaimed.

"MMaidens, this is your first warning!" Majora announced as Augustus was steering his plane up toward him. Maggie aimed her rifle at Metalmold's eye while Stewie launched missiles at Majora. "Release the seal on MMy child or I will kill everyone present! Starting with," he whipped the missiles, exploded them, and dove through the smoke. Augustus ducked the plane in evasion, but Majora's whip had snagged Rallo by the neck. He yanked the afro-headed child out of the plane and BASHED Rallo against Metalmold's armor, cracking his neck.
