Allie and her group finally arrived at Gear's lair, ready to sneak in and end this. It was time to destroy the Brainwash XLM, and turn everyone back to normal. Before they went in, though, Chloe caught up to them and stopped them.

"Wait! If you destroy the Brainwash XLM, it'll explode! You have to be careful!" Chloe warned them.

"Don't worry, Chloe. We'll be careful." Allie assured her as they went inside.


Allie was ready to end this. She was ready to ruin all of Gear's plans to take over the city, so she headed straight for the room the Brainwash XLM was in, but was quickly caught by Blue and Madison, who ganged up on her at the door to stop her from getting any closer to the machine that had given them power.

"Where do you think you're going, sister?" Madison asked Allie. "You know we won't let you just stroll up to the Brainwash XLM! If you want to get closer to it, you'll have to get through us first!"

"I'm prepared to do that." Allie growled, forcefully pushing Blue and Madison out of her way and entering the room. Once she was in, Bristol, Jacob, and Roxie followed suit and helped Allie by holding back Madison and Blue to give Allie plenty of time to figure out how to destroy the machine.


After enough messing with it, Allie found the way to destroy the Brainwash XLM. She found a crowbar nearby, so she picked it up and used it to beat on the machine until it was about to explode. In a hurry, Allie rushed Bristol, Roxie, and Jacob out of the room so they wouldn't be caught in the explosion.


BANG!!

The machine had finally exploded. Smoke poured out of the room from the explosion, and once it had finally cleared, Allie went in to make sure it was finished. At the same time, Blue woke up on the floor, scarred from the blast, but still okay. She looked around, then saw Allie standing next to the destroyed Brainwash XLM.

"Allie?" Blue asked her. "Did you do that?"

"Yes, I did. I had to stop it from controlling everyone." Allie began. "Now that it's been destroyed, everyone's lives can go back to normal."

"What about Maddie?" Bristol spoke up. Allie gasped and immediately looked around for her sister, until she saw the collapsed machine had someone stuck underneath it.

Carefully lifting the machine, Allie tossed the scrap heap aside and looked down at who was lying on the now-bloodstained floor, covered in deep wounds from the machine exploding and falling on them. Allie gasped in horror when she saw who it was.




"MADDIE!" Allie screamed

"MADDIE!" Allie screamed. "O-Oh My Dog!"

"A-Allie...s-sis..." Madison coughed, looking up at her sister. "Th-Thank you for saving me...thank you..."

"Maddie...I'm sorry...I-I-I'll take you to the hospital, you'll be fine!" Allie told Madison.

"Allie..." Madison interrupted Allie. "Allie..."

"Yes?" Allie asked Madison.

"You're the best sister ever...I love you...Allie..." Madison gasped. The light was starting to fade from her eyes. "I'm going to miss you..."

"No...Maddie...Maddie..." Allie begged her dying sister as tears welled up in her eyes. "Don't go..."

"Goodbye...bestie..." Madison weakly smiled as her life ended. Allie was heartbroken. Madison had been her favorite sister, the only member of her family that was still around to support her, and now she was gone too, just like all the others.

The rest of Allie's friends came in to see her sobbing on the floor next to Madison's body. Acting on what she called her "BFF Instinct", Roxie came to Allie's side to try and comfort her.

"S-She was the only member...of my family that still cared..." Allie sobbed. "My parents never understood me...but she did...Maddie was the best thing that ever happened to me..."

"I know, Allie, I know..." Roxie told Allie. "But it'll be okay. You'll just need some time to adjust, but I promise you everything will go back to normal soon."

"Yeah! I mean, look at us! We're still here for you! We still care!" Jacob added. 

"And we understand you, Allie. We're in this together." Bristol joined in.

"Thanks guys..." Allie sniffed, wiping her tears away. "It sure is nice having friends like you..."
