"S-Satsuki!" Daisy stammered. She had to hold onto the little courage she had left. "I-"

"Oh, the little flower," The girl smirked, leaning forward and tapping Daisy on the nose lightly. "What's a bloom like you doing out here..?"

"I-I'm not a child," Daisy muttered, wanting to swat her hand away, but was too afraid. "D-Don't talk down to me.."

"Oh?" The Killing Princess leaned back, her hand dropping to the side. "Where would the fun in that be?"

"I-"

"Aren't you supposed to be in your cell?" The girl continued, not letting Daisy speak. "Disobeying orders is pretty... rebellious."

"Satsu-"

"But then again... who really pays attention to them?" She mused. "You look like you're trying to say something... why don't you spit it out, hm?"

"U-um... Satsuki, you... you shouldn't do this. Killing everyone isn't the answer-"

"Oh? Oh? Is that what you're here for?" She laughed. "You might as well just give up now... there is no point in you even trying!"

"You shouldn't-"

"Listen, while I'm all for killing them, and I won't deny that I love it, it's that they also deserve it. You should listen to them sell out their friends in a attempt to live. It's so pitifully shameful!"

"They don't deserve to die!"

"Oh...You've got such a pure heart," She cooed. "That's what all children tend to have. It's very refreshing... I must have it."

"What?"

"Give me your heart," The girl grinned. "The pureness... it's overflowing. It's so fresh, so new. Give it to me... now... now!"

Taken aback, Daisy stepped backwards- and luckily she did, as the girl's hand snatched forward, barely missing Daisy.

"Hey! Back off," Luigi snapped, stepping in front of the girl. "She's not-"

"Shut up," The girl rolled her eyes underneath her cloak. "I care nothing for you. Get out of my way or die."

"I won't let you hurt her-"

I won't let you hurt her

"Ugh, you're so.. sickening. Nothing like her. Your heart is black from your cowardliness. It hurts me just to look at you!" Satsuki growled. "Die!"

Luigi gasped as something grabbed him, tossing him against the wall. He hit it with a thud, groaning in pain.

"Luigi!"

Swiftly, Daisy pulled out her rapier.

"Oh...! Oh...!" The Killing Princess sighed. "She wants to fight me... just give up..! And give me... give me it...!"

She reached forward again, Daisy dodging and sidestepping to the right. She growled in frustration.

"Fine... fine, fine, fine. If that's how you want to play."

The girl's demeanor changed quickly, the fake and pleasing mask changing as her eyes began to leave behind an angry red glow.

"If that's how you want to play, I'm all for it... Give it to me...!"

"Run!" Luigi shouted.

Not knowing what else to do, Daisy took off, the girl in close pursuit.

"Oh, Princess... is that what you think you are with the crown on your head?" Satsuki screeched. "There's only room for one princess here, and it isn't you. Give your heart to me and I can make it precious... precious princess... precious heart... so pure... hehehe...haha!"

Rosalina also wears a crown, Daisy thought quickly, but she definitely was not going to bring that up. Why would she put her friend in danger?

"You know... killing me won't do anything-!"

"Maybe not to you..." She smirked. "But to me... something so precious can't go wasted...give it..!"

There's no reasoning with her, Daisy sighed. There's no way I can fight against her. This was actually a suicide mission... I should've listened to Rosalina. She was pleading for me to... why was she so persistent anyway? Yeah, she's lost people to Satsuki, but I thought that...

"Daisy... Daisy..!"

"Stop it!" Daisy shouted. "You've got no real reason to do this! My heart means nothing. Tell me the real reason!"

She didn't know why she kept trying. She knew it wasn't going to get her anywhere. But still, something in her told her that she couldn't give up...

"The real reason?" The girl laughed. "Tell me, Flower... Do you know what it feels like to have something taken away from you? To have something ripped apart, rather, as if it means nothing? Tell me, tell me!"

"Yes, I do!" Daisy replied. "It's exactly what happened when you... you guys dragged me here! Do you know what it feels like to leave my friends? Peach and Luigi were so upset... Do you have any idea how upset that makes me?"

"Oh no, boohoo," Satsuki mocked. "How about permanently losing everyone you love? Ripped away from you in a moment."

"Satsuki... I'm sorry that happened to you," Daisy said. "But it doesn't make it right to do this!"

"Ahahah... as if. I have no one that cares about me, no one I care about, and I never have," She smirked. "No tragic backstory. I just want to see everything and everyone die. That's all there is to it."

"You..!"

Daisy barely blocked a blow from the girl, her vines blocking Satsuki's constant attacks.

"Come out and play, Little Flower!"

Daisy gasped as she was struck back.

This is it. This is the end.

As Daisy looked up to see the smirking girl, she saw motion behind her. A figure clad in green...

"Agh-!!"

Satsuki growled as she was struck by lighting, arching backwards from the pain. As she did so, the hood to her cloak fell off...

Their eyes widened as the girl slowly lifted her head and smiled.

"N-no way-!"

"Hello, Daisy. Long time no see."

Standing before them, was a girl with long red hair, red eyes, and a scar in her right eye...
