....................

Basil and the rest all stared at HS Mari as she steps out from behind the throne, each step making her height smaller and hair more blonde and short.

   Her eyes turned a deep, forest green.

   "....!!!!" They all watched, horrid as she stepped closer and closer to Basil.

   Nobody was really shocked that HS Mari was like this, just more on edge and littered with the underlying sense of betrayal too.

   "NO!!" Aubrey pushed him back slightly, standing in the way. Kel quickly follows her, then Hero.

   They blocked the path to Basil, which they all knew was her ultimate goal.

   "n... n-no..." Basil took a shaky step back, eyes fixated on his sister's face through his friends silhouettes.

   It made him sick to the stomach looking at her, but he couldn't look away or run, no matter how much his brain screamed and yelled at him to.

   He never thought he would see her again.

   The three took out their weapons, holding them up in an on-guard position.

   Sunny's mouth got wrapped around by Omori's red hands, unable to scream.

   "Hey there, Basil...~" She rubs her face sleazily, "I never imaged having you in front of me once more..."

   "Back off!!! You won't even get near him on our watch!!!" Kel spat, eyes littered with hatred.

   "But you're mistaken..." The small girl smiles widely, eyes covered by her bangs,

   " h e s m i n e ~"

   You could hear Basil slowly take another step back, breath quickening and heart pounding.

   "It'll be okay!!! We just need to smash her fucking face in!!!" Aubrey gripped her plush tighter.

   "For once, I agree!! But be careful!!! We don't know what kind of power she has in Headspace!" Hero squinted his eyes, warning the other two.

   Ellie giggled, "This will be f u n."

   Suddenly, she sprouts black appendages from her back and arms, circling around her head.

   "So the Somethings are your choice huh...? Fucking prick..." Aubrey growls, looking back to see Basil, who was somehow still conscious and aware.

   Kel snaps Aubrey back into battle, "Don't worry Basil!!

   We're gonna help you finish this once and for all!!!"

....................

   "Hah... hah... she's tough..." Hero wipes his face of sweat with his sleeve.

   "Holy shit..." Aubrey gasps out, bending down slightly.

   "Damn..." Kel grits his teeth.

   "Hehe... are you really done now? I was just warming up~"

   Basil stands there trembling, unable to take another step back due to the stairs. His bright red eyes show the face of Ellie.

   Her smile, her body, her voice, everything...
