Annie stared at The Woman Who Sold The World with spite and fury.

Smooth Criminal: Hee Hee!

Smacking one of the powerplant employees, Annie then quickly and efficiently messed with the control pannel. Mark limped towards Annie.

Mark: You made a grave mistake, Annie.

Annie: Yeah, yeah. I'm on a time limit now. But don't worry, I'm going to make the most of it...

She turned towards Mark, Smooth Criminal wrapped her arms around her user, hanging bridal style off her neck. Annie was suddenly immune to The Phoenix. Moving and getting closer she did not ignite.

Annie: You're a Stand that can possess others and feed off of their Stand energy.

Annie: But I'm willing to bet that makes you just as connected to your host as their normal Stand is.

Annie: So you'd better get out of that kid, before it gets rough!!

Annie: "SMOOTH CRIMINAL"!!

Smooth Criminal: Hee heeeeee!!!

(BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM)

Unleashing a barrage of kicks, Smooth Criminal beat Mark against a wall, and didn't stop for a good few minutes.

(BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM)

Seeing the ghost haunting him, flying out of that body, Annie stopped and allowed Mark to drop to the floor.

Sold The World: You'd kill a kid to get what you want? Seems I've rubbed off on you.

Annie: You've underestimated me yet again. Mark here will live no thanks to you.

Annie: Because I stole it. The ability to take damage from him. You and he felt every kick, but there's no damage.

Annie: Just look.

She presents Mark who was no different from the assault Annie laid upon him.

Annie: With this ability to steal the aspects of objects and individuals, I can beat you.

Sold The World: Hmph, hahaha! FOOLISH LITTLE GIRL!!!

Sold The World: Without a host my power is limited...

Sold The World: BUT I DON'T NEED TO WASTE IT ON KILLING YOU!!

Sold The World: You'll be falling back into a coma any moment now...

Sold The World: I'll take that body later. After I consume HIM first.

Phasing through the walls, The Woman Who Sold The World leaves the area. Annie wanted to follow, but found her left foot went limp.

Slowly, but surely, her body would lose function until her body caught up and she would return to being in a coma.

With the prospect of never waking up again, Annie made a choice.










(Elsewhere.....)


Punching a water pipe, Mr.Niceguy washed off the black paint. With his imagination restored, he made Brave New World's invisible arm into a hook and wire. Whipping it at the railing of the staircase that led out of the subway station, he pulled himself towards the stairs.

Nearly escaping Paint It Black's swipe, Mr.Niceguy was met with an issue.

He could not get any closer to the exit. A force pulled him back, and threatened to pull the railing out of the ground.
