Mini 8-Bit #419's journey was not a good one.

For starters, he landed on his cousin when he respawned.

It took quite a bit of time to actually gather them up to tell them the news, for some were too dazed from getting killed as a V-Bit.

But once he told the news, they were ready.

Okay, next problem:

Getting there on time :( .

Max sighed in relief as Mini 8-Bit #419 winked at them. He walked over to try and destroy the cage, but Malware Tara intercepted him.

She threw her super, sucking all the Mini 8-Bits into the black hole. Then it exploded, leaving them dazed.

From the wreckage left, there stood the shadow version of Malware Tara. It looked like her, but mostly black. She had the same green concave kite on her head.

"KILL THEM!" Malware Tara screamed. "KILL THEM ALL!"

However, this black shade didn't follow these orders. She leapt onto her own creator and started attacking her.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"Malware Tara howled as she tried to retaliate.

"You tried to take my body. What do you think I could do?" the black shade replied, furiously continuing her assault.

Malware Tara kicked the black shade as hard as she could. The black shade flew through the air and skidded towards the magical cage.

Malware Tara then turned to her enemies, the Mini 8-Bits.

Max looked at the eye of the black shade from the bars of the prison. The black shade mumbled something inaudible.

CRACK.

The cage shook for a while, pieces breaking off it. Then, like magic, it shattered.

Max looked at the black shade in surprise.

"Remember me?"the black shade said, winking.

Bibi got the idea before Max. "TARA?! W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

"TARAAAAA!"

Tara could hear Bibi's scream through the dust kicked up by the V-Bit. She hadn't been hurt;the V-Bit had transformed into a rather confused 8-Bit.

But that was absolutely nothing of her attention.

A black, ghastly monster loomed over her. He had razor sharp teeth and had one eye. His eye was set upon a green concave kite.

She tried to throw her cards, but they merely slapped the monster in the face.

In return, he lashed out. She could feel parts of clothes forming rip marks and her soul detaching from her body as she was thrown across the battlefield.

But her body remained still. She saw the monster take over her body, slowly changing it to fit him.

Tara was literally a ghost. She couldn't be seen, couldn't help as she watched her changed self put Bibi and Max to sleep.

Her new form, apparently Malware Tara, abused her powers by using them to put her friends in imprisonment.

She felt sad and thought she would be a ghost forever.

Felt that she could never help.

However, she saw a chance when Malware Tara made the black hole. She took control of the black shade, defeating its former soul and moving in.

And here she was now. Her body still hurt, but she managed a smile as Bibi lifted her up.

"Let's finish off this battle,"Tara said.
