Some Galahs Do An Inky Mission: Prologue

A Dangerous Encounter: Chapter 17

A couple of hours later, Scylla found herself on land again, in the form of a human. Her raven-blue eyes reflected the crazed glee she felt as she stood at the edge of the abandoned island, waiting for the eventual arrival of the Soulless. A part of her wondered if her family were safe, but she knew nowhere was truly safe during an apocalyptic event. How many Soulless have they had to destroy since the beginning of this blasted zombie timeline?

Too many to count, that's for sure.

And that's only within a few weeks, if not months. Who knows how many more will be forced to die for their cursed master? What's it going to take for them to stop?

Nothing, because the god who orchestrated the entirety of the apocalypse was selfish and greedy for power.

Scylla finally spotted something. It was small, yes, but it was nothing compared to the violet lights in the distance that signified the presence of the Soulless. They were coming.

Scylla retreated to the gray ashes of what had once been the grass, trees, and bushes that outlined the island. From there, Scylla opened her mouth and let out a blood-curling shriek that echoed for miles on end.

The water was splashing from several miles away, allowing Scylla to run towards the trees in the middle of the island and hide in the branches. She started to have doubts about her plan.

What if the Assimilation ring doesn't work?

What if they won't listen?

What would the pack say about this?

This was a bad plan.

Why did I make this plan? To cope with having to fight Zielo someday?

What kind of strategy is this? A dumb one?

How are we going to restore the world when this apocalypse ends?

Scylla's thoughts was interrupted when the Soulless were fumbling on the island's shores, muttering something along the lines of, "Master's gonna enjoy his new slave."

Scylla shuddered, reluctantly sliding down the tree she was hiding in and tapping the ring five times.

A large number of pained screams filled the air, making Scylla smirk and enjoy the sounds of agony. She let her EXE form take over, walking over to the large group of Soulless. Her grace was unnerving and terrifying to those who saw it. It was like she was going to kill the Soulless right then and there. But Scylla only whispered, "All of you are mine now."

Some of the Soulless looked at Scylla, terrified of what she might do to them. Scylla smirks and said in a lighthearted tone, "Don't worry, I'm not going to make you do anything stupid, like a suicide mission or something like that."

"But what about -" One of the Soulless started.

Scylla clicked her tongue, holding up a hand and interrupting the question. "I don't want to hear you say, think, or wish for your god to save you. He's the one who corrupted you, and I am here to fix that. If you rebel against me or even run away, I will not hesitate to track you down and turn you into ashes. Do I make myself clear?"

Most of the Soulless gulped, afraid of what would happen to them if Scylla made good on her threat. They nodded, offering fearful smiles at the terrifying woman. One Soulless nervously replied, "O-of course, we won't let you down, Your Terrifying Lady."

Scylla smirked, snapping her fingers and letting the Soulless be slightly free. What the Soulless didn't know was that they were standing still long enough to allow Scylla to get a firm hold on their souls, so if they actually escaped, she'd destroy the souls almost instantly.

Talk about making good on the threat, am I right?

The Blizzard: Chapter 5

(Author's Note: An animatronic is going to appear in this chapter! Also, another short chapter.)

"I'm so glad that you found my slippers so quickly." The woman said thankfully. "Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, and I'm glad that I was able to help." Demetria replied.

As the woman left, Sylvia rushed over, not caring about the water droplets dripping down her arms as she asked, "Did you really HAVE to chain me to the wall?"

Demetria snapped her head towards her aunt. "YOU WERE GOING TO MELT DOWN THOSE GLASS SLIPPERS!!!"

"Okay, fair, but YOU FROZE DOWN A CASTLE TWO MONTHS AGO!"

"NOONE STOPPED ME AT THE TIME, BUT I'M NOT RISKING THAT AGAIN!"

"She did WHAT?!" Nima gasped, making both Demetria and Sylvia flinch.

Of course Nima would be awake. Sylvia thought.

Demetria said, "It's nothing, it was an accident -"

"AN ACCIDENT? YOU COULD HAVE DIED!!" Nima burst out, wrapping her metallic hands around Demetria's wrists. "I don't really mean any harm. And if you needed magical knowledge, Nokomis and I will be here to guide you and be there beside you to destroy any enemies that come our way."

Demetria nodded as she mumbled, "Thank you..." She then turned around and ran out of the room.

A Dangerous Encounter: Chapter 18

12 years ago...

"Hey!" A young Scylla shouted, playfully wiggling out of Helios' grip.

The adoptive uncle chuckled, tickling the little girl relentlessly as she giggled and squirmed. "Are you escaping? This is war!" Helios teased.

"Time for dinner!" Helias shouted from the kitchen, startling Helios just enough to allow Scylla to break free and sprint towards the large dining room on the second floor. Scylla soon jumped into her mother's arms, startling Helias. Scylla's adoptive grandmother, Diana Moon, walked into the room to find Helias being tortured by Scylla through snuggles. Chuckling, Diana swiftly swiped the glass plates from Helias, earning herself a lupine whine.

"Oh, hush, you know that you can't set the table with the little demon trapping you like that? Let me set the table." Diana joked, earning herself a glare from her daughter. Scylla knew what she was, but she feigned naivety to hide her hurt in front of the werewolves.

"I heard food was ready?" Helios asked breathlessly, panting at the door like an excited dog. Scylla giggled at the sight, letting go of her adoptive mother and rushing to help Diana with setting the table.

"Yes, food's ready." Helias remarked, striding towards her brother and looking mischievously into his eyes. "Now go sit at the table and wait for dinner to be served." She flicked Helios in the forehead, turning and striding over to the table to serve dinner.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Present

They had trained day and night, and it was fun - well, for Scylla. For the Soulless, it was torturous and difficult, constantly having to forget their barbaric ways of battling and being forced to learn new ways to battle. It was exhausting for both parties, but it was worth it to Scylla.

The morning after the training, Scylla was frantically reaching out her mind to try and trace Sonic's thoughts to a specific location on the map. So far, it hadn't worked. When Scylla had started to panic, she heard someone's voice - a certain pack member named Diana.

Scylla?

Diana, I'm busy right now -

With training the Soulless? Yeah, sure.

Diana. What. Happened?

Well, Aite wanted me to tell you to hurry up, 'cause we've found the Tainted one.

Scylla abruptly stood up and ran out of the glass tent, frantically asking, Where is he?

Well, that was fast.

Tell me!

Fine, fine. The Tainted One is in an abandoned Eggman base underneath a port of some sort. We'd get in, if the Soulless weren't attacking like maniacs!

Is it in a city?

Yeah, why do you ask?

Meet me at the outskirts of the town. Expect a group of Soulless slaves to be with us as well.

Okay, Mistress of Evil.

Oh, and one more thing.

Diana hesitated for a second, then she asked timidly, Yes?

Don't call me again, unless something happens to Aite or the rest of the pack. Understand?

Affirmative.

And tell Aite that if she wants something from me, call me herself.

Right.

Thanks. Scylla cut off the connection as she climbed the platform and blared out loudly, "ALL SOULLESS, FOLLOW ME OUT OF HERE! WE'RE PAYING YOUR BUDDY A VISIT!"

The Soulless yelped and clumsily followed Scylla out of the island in six cluttered lines. Scylla smirked, imagining the blunt and painful injuries, deaths, and the like she would face in battle. Three sides, all facing casualties of some sort in this war. Something to fight for. Gleeful and curious to see how everything turned out, Scylla quickly teleported everyone to the battlefield. The Dark Gaia pack were reunited again.

Aite shouted, "Oh, thank goodness you're back!"

Oh, this is going to be soooooo much fun.

Some Galahs Go On an Inky Mission

Third Person POV

In the middle of Audra's battle, Alinta woke up. Audra looked over, launching herself into the ceiling to avoid getting any more injuries. Audra was cut and scratched at badly, bleeding a lot of blood. Panting heavily, she pulled herself together and created a tornado. Alinta raised an eyebrow, creating a huge net of red moonlight that crushed the Lost Ones in the tornado. Jumping down from her perch, Audra landed on her feet with a wince of pain. Alinta starts, "Look, Audra. I know that I -"

Audra cuts her off with a paw on the head. "DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!! It's too risky. Who's gonna help me with Kaiso gone and you fainting? I could have died without your support!" Audra scolded.

Alinta laughed. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry!" She walked through the Animation Alley entrance and beckoned Audra to follow. Soon they reached an animation room for tourism.

As Alinta looked for a way to escape, Audra listened to the recordings and peeked into the rooms. Just as Alinta found a vent, Audra shrieked in horror as she saw what was inside of the fourth room. "THERE'S A HANGED MAN!" Audra shouted, covering her mouth as the tears started forming. Alinta ran over and saw a mannequin hanging from the ceiling.

Thinking quickly, Alinta turned Audra so she wouldn't see the mannequin. Wiping the tears from Audra's eyes, Alinta knelt in front of her and whispered, "Listen to me. You're okay. That's not going to happen to you." When Audra started to hyperventilate, Alinta shook her shoulders, hissing, "Princess Audra Hurricane of the Air Kingdom, LISTEN TO ME. It's just a mannequin."

Audra shook her head, barely pulling herself back together. "You know how many hangings I've seen, Alinta. What if it happens again?"

"IT WON'T. Do you trust me?" Alinta asked. Audra nodded shakily. "Good. We're going to go through a vent and leave this damned place behind. Can you at least try to stay calm and forget about this?"

"I don't know!" Audra pulled herself away from Alinta. "Do you see that?" Audra pointed to the hung mannequin. "That's just the start! Later on, there's going to be more people just hanging from the god damn ropes, and there's NOTHING I can do about it!"

"Audra, keep a cool head -"

"No! Don't you care, Alinta? The more people who do suicide, the less likely we'll be able to help!"

Alinta's POV

Dark Alinta asked, "Do you need any -"

"NO."

"Okay!"

Third Person POV

Alinta shook Audra's shoulders. Alinta's eyes glowed an icy-blue color. "Listen to me, Audra. You're hurt. Badly. You need food. I'll find you some to start healing, but this breakdown needs to start evaporating to a much happier state. But for now, we need to keep moving."

Audra's ears perked up a bit at the thought of finding food, but it wasn't enough to make her raise her spirits. Her head was held low. "What if we can't?"

"We. Will. Now come on, let's keep moving." Alinta dragged Audra to the vent and pushed her in, following behind. Crawling through the vents, they reached another hallway. Alinta picked up a note and read it aloud. "'We're in the final days here. I can tell. People are packing things into boxes. Tools are are going missing. You can smell the panic in the air around the studio. But us Gent boys, we're just watching from the shadows. We lock the doors, and keep our research going. Mister Gray already gave us a little wink. All is well. When one ship sinks, another one leaves the dock. I need to keep my Ink Machine safe in the chaos. It's the key to so many discoveries.' Oh, cool, it even has a signature!" Alinta squinted. "I forgot who Thomas Conner even is." Audra flipped a switch, and the two headed out. Out of the tour room through the newly opened door, they ran out and through the rooms. Through one barred door was a small, cartoon version of Bendy.

"It's real?" Audra whispered, admiring it through the door. Alinta looks fondly at Audra, but catching herself and mentally berating herself for it. Alinta could already hear the chaos Audra could bring if they didn't approach Bendy correctly.

Alinta's POV

Dark Alinta ordered, "Open the door and secure the small Devil, and then let your crush near it."

I look at Audra. "That's probably a good idea. But she's not my crush!"

"Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that."

Third Person POV

"Audra, stay here. I'm going to keep the tiny thing there. I'll signal you over when we're ready." Audra whispers. Audra gave a nod, and Alinta inhaled. "Oookaaay, let's do this."

Alinta's POV

I opened the door. Bendy quickly noticed and stood up, like a child waiting for praise. I need to be gentle with him. I walk over. "Hi, sweetie." I said. Bendy picked up his train, putting on a neutral face. As I crouched, he stepped back. "No, no, I'm friendly, and I have a friend who might want to be friends with you. Can you stay?" I beckon him over. Reluctantly, Bendy walked forward. I then turned and signaled to Audra to come here.

"Alinta, that's not just a small Devil." Dark Alinta warned.

"What do you mean?" I ask as I watched Audra approach us to a certain point.

"Bendy's the Ink Demon."

"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I'll deal with it eventually." I cursed.

Audra's POV

I approached carefully, only stopping at the midway point. Alinta sighs and gets up, walking up until she's right next to me. She whispered, "You're free to become friends with the kid."

My mouth opened. Really? Is this just that easy to become friends with the smallest, cutest devil I've seen??? I looked at Bendy. I say fondly, "Oh my god!! It's so tinyy!" I approached him quickly, patting his head. He smiled!!! He's so cute!!!! "Oh, it's a tiny boy! How are you? You're so cute!"

Alinta starts to say, "Audra, be careful with him. We don't -"

And then I felt my claw extend.

STAB!

There was a pause in the air. Bendy's face was in shock. I was in shock. I carefully removed my ink-covered claw and looked at it. I then looked at Bendy. He's crying!! I tried to say, "Bendy, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to -" He ran away. "No, wait! Please! I'm sorry! Wait, tiny boy, please! Come back! I'm sorry!" I pleaded. Alinta wheezed in laughter, leaning against the wall. I looked at her and fumed as I saw her laughing face. "THIS IS NOT FUNNY, ALINTA!!!" I growled.

Third Person POV

"I tried to tell you." Alinta wheezed in between her laughter. Audra pouted.

"I didn't mean to stab him!" Audra whined. Alinta pulled herself back together, stifling her giggles as she saw Audra's fuming, pouting expression.

Alinta grabbed Audra's arm and walked out of the room. "Alright, let's go." Alinta said.

They walked until they found a sign. Audra read it. "'Don't...Knock'?"

"Well, fuck it. I'm knocking anyway." Alinta says as she rolls up her airtight sleeves. She approached the door and knocked on it - gently.

"Who's out there?" A male voice asked. A Lost One opened the "window" and looked around. "Is it you, Phil?" It looked at Audra and Alinta. "I said I'm not opening the door until you bring my pictures! I drew 'em, I want 'em back." It slammed the cardboard on the two girls.

Now it was Alinta's turn to get angry - again. She warmed up her arm to get ready to do something stupid. "That's it. I'm breaking down the door, whether you -"

"Alinta, no!" Audra grabs Alinta's shoulder and continues, "Think about it. If you break down the door, it'll be loud and will attract other monsters over here."

Alinta rolls down her sleeves and sighs. "Fine. We'll grab the damn pictures."

"Thank you!!"

Alinta sighs and walks with Audra out of the area. Alinta opens a metal door and crawls through a vent with Audra, reaching a room. Audra cuts the chains of a locked door with a claw.

Alinta's POV

A deep voice said, "The Dark Puddles awaits."

"The Ink Demon." Dark Alinta hissed.

"Oh, hooray. Now he's angry." I sarcastically replied.

"Now who's angry?" Audra asked. I jumped. Whoops, I must've said that out loud.

"Oh, you'll know later on." I quickly said, returning my attention back to the navigation process.

"Okay..." Audra said suspiciously.

A Dangerous Encounter: Chapter 7

Scylla jumped at the voice, turning around to see a Mobian Coyote - with the aura of a demigod. Scylla grew angry, spitting out the words, "So, your one of those DEMIGODS."

The coyote calmly tried to speak, confirming this before Scylla made an illusion and quickly left, hearing the coyote demigod "defeating" Scylla's little illusion.

Several hours later, Scylla transformed into her wolf/Dark Gaia hybrid form at night. Her ruby red eyes turned a gentle orchid color, her fur turned a navy blue, and her face had blue and violet markings, signifying that Scylla was a servant of Dark Gaia, not Zielo.

As per usual, Scylla's pack appeared in thin air, eager for the hunt in the desert tonight. Scylla's paws sunk into the desert sand like a pile of worms, and Scylla raised her head to the new moon, took a deep breath, and howled. The other Dark Gaia wolves joined Scylla's howling. To them, it meant that the hunt has started.

The Dark Gaia pack then ran off, the wind cooling their fur to a raven's feather-point. Scylla had never felt so alive before. It's like she actually belonged in the pack, and she wasn't discriminated because of her DNA.

Scylla was the alpha of the pack, guiding the pack away from the Soulless whenever possible. The hunt only lasted for a few hours, but by then the Dark Gaia pack were exhausted and needed a place to sleep. Scylla spotted a pyramid about ten miles east of where the wolves were standing, but the place felt like Zielo.

Scylla was concerned about her pack's safety, so she led the Dark Gaia pieces north, towards a dune where they could rest peacefully.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few months (?) later...

Scylla had ran. And ran and ran. That's all she knew how to do right now. She tripped over a rock, falling on her stomach. Black eyes darted to a cyan-eyed hedgehog. Zielo. Scylla's black eyes swiveled towards a horde of Soulless behind Zielo. For the sixth time this month, this nightmare actually scared Scylla. Flipping onto her back, Scylla whispered in a distorted, scared voice, "Please, just let them go. You could have chosen something else to be your minions."

Zielo held no expression, saying in a bored voice, "Did you forget that I'm your God?"

Scylla grew enraged, blue-violet lightning striking the ground as Scylla shouted, "I am not your little puppet, and you do NOT reign over me, you psychopath!"

Zielo shouted in a very enraged voice, "YOU WILL NOT DISRESPECT GOD!!"

Scylla's voice distorted into a very unrecognizable voice as she shouts back, "THEN WHY DO YOU DISRESPECT YOUR PEOPLE? IS IT BECAUSE OF THAT PARASITE SSSSSIIIIIIIIIIINNNNN?"

"SILENCE!"

"NO! ANSWER THE QUESTION, ZIELO THE HEDGEHOG!"

Scylla saw what looked like tainted versions of Sonic, Silver, and Shadow, and it shook her to the core. These...Tainted...versions of the hedgehogs had sharp teeth, claws with blood on them, and looked particularly insane.

Scylla went from rage to concern and fear. Turning to Zielo, Scylla shouted, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE SONS OF HEEPHIS?"

Zielo smirked. "I didn't do anything. They only did it to themselves."

Scylla stood up and backed away from them, her EXE form overpowering her instincts. She fell deeper and deeper into the overwhelming rage and fear.

Unable to take the pain of it anymore, she screamed.

Mango's Adventures in Angst-Land: Chapter 11

(Author's Note: Deck the halls with boughs of holly falalalala -)

"What?"

"You heard me! Do you remember that different universes have different time zones?" Mango sassed.

In true karma fashion, an Abstraction slithered up to Scylla. When Scylla looked at it, it starts to squeak, "Squeaky squeakatty-squeakins." Scylla nods.

Much like a cat, Mango freaks out. "AAAAAAAAAA -"

Scylla growled, asking Mango, "Then why are you here -"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -" Mango continued screaming.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in Mango's home dimension, Kiui sighed as Hikari rushed into the room, shouting, "What happened?! Where's Mango?! Is everything okay? Do I need to -" Hikari paused her worried tirade, looking at a very calm eleven-year-old, who said, "Mom, I think Mango needs therapy."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scylla asked the Abstraction, "Oscar, can you please calm Mango down for me, please?"

Oscar nodded, slithering up to Mango. "Squeak -"

HISS!!

Mango bared her teeth, her tail puffing in fear as she tried to look bigger in front of the larger Abstraction. This turned into a huge fight between the two gremlins. Scylla smiled, secretly missing the little family play-fights they had half the time.

Mango's Adventures in Angst-Land: Chapter 5

(Author's Note: Short chapter again! But this time, a funny scene comes in. Reference of Pokemon.)

"Alright, let's do this!" Kiui exclaimed, stretching her fingers a little before typing something into the monitor. The password was rejected. Kiui looked annoyed, but before she could try again, Mango stopped her.

"Let me try." Mango said, typing in:

Pokemon Puzzle League

The monitor opened with a beep. Mango gave a snarky smile to her sister, who turned into a cat with banana-yellow scales, kiwi-green eyes, and gray fur and yowled, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -"

As Kiui screamed as though she was in pain, Mango softly chuckled. "Sis, you were going to hack the monitor, not log into the thing. You really have a bad habit of hacking into technology." Kiui still throws a childish tantrum over this.

Some Galahs Go On an Inky Mission: Chapter 2

Third Person POV

Audra skipped happily. After a bit, a large explosion shook the ceiling, and a spider jumped down to the floor. It looked cute in Audra's eyes. She crouched down and reached out her hand, cooing:

"Oh, it's a little man! Oh, who's a little man?"

CHOMP!

The spider tried to eat Audra's hand. Her mouth went open in shock. It didn't just...bite her, did it?

Meanwhile, Alinta had found a Gent Pipe - on the other side of a fence. "Goddamnit, what do I -"

"IT'S AN ANGRY SPIDER!!! IT ATTACKED ME!!!" Audra yelped. Alinta inhaled, dragging a hand down her face.

"I'm going to demand a raise and some tolerance for this." Alinta muttered, storming off to go help Audra with the spider. As soon as she stepped into the wide hall, Alinta found a pure-black ink spider - which was clearly part of the Butcher Gang - and Audra using her control over air to keep herself as high as possible away from the spider. Alinta looked between the angry spider (who was trying to attack Alinta) and the scared Audra. Alinta sighed. "You didn't just kill the thing?" Alinta inquired.

"It was cute!" Audra insisted. Alinta growled silently, snapping her fingers and setting the ink spider to flames. Audra shouts, "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

"Deal with it." Alinta deadpanned. She walked off as Audra called her childish names.

But 16-24 minutes later...

"Who's There? Open up!"

CRASH! BANG!

"If I find you, I'm going to rip your face off!" A male voice shouted.

"I'd like to see you try." Alinta thought, growling at the far away threat. She had just grabbed the Gent Pipe, not even bothering to clear the ink in hopes of inkfecting her enemies. She gripped it tightly, almost making the Gent Pipe get crushed.

Meanwhile, Audra's arms were full of food, and she was approaching the Lost One. "Hello! Would you like a cracker? I kind of beat one of those ink things with the door and a few other inky things with a cougar to get the food." Audra said, holding out a cracker to the Lost One.

Her hopes were then blotted away.

The Lost One let out a primal shriek of rage and flew itself at Audra, raising its hands to swipe at the cracker-filled hand she held out. Quickly, Audra pulled her arm away and dropped her food, doing a triple backflip before landing on her feet. She turned her head and shouted, "THIS MAN ISN'T VERY NICE!"

When Alinta heard the shout, she ran to the kitchens and the other rooms with a fear and panic. When she finally found Audra, she was already fighting the Lost One. Alinta growled, her lemon-green eyes flashing a dark crimson red as she unconsciously lashed out at the Lost One and kicked him to the ground. Holding her foot above his head, Alinta hissed, "If I let you go, you will listen to me and Audra, otherwise I'll kill you. Do. You. Understand. Me?" The Lost One tried to attack again, but he ended up getting crushed by the tremendous strength of the angry, seething werewolf. A squishy, breaking sound could be heard from its skull.

Audra looks from the ink puddle to Alinta, then back again. "What? H-how? Wh-wh-why?" The young cougar stuttered.

Alinta rolled her eyes. "You'll understand when the time comes." She turned and walked to the kitchen. Audra followed timidly, watching as Alinta's eyes returned to their normally bright green color. Audra didn't even try to talk; it'll just make things worse when Alinta's in that state.

The ink puddles were ignored, since they weren't made of ink. They walked through the ink puddles just fine without any consequences. A Searcher punched the door, then turned into a puddle. When they opened the door, they found another Searcher punching the wall that said, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL ME."

"Yes, we do." Audra said. Alinta turned into a wolf and ate the Searcher from behind. "That's gross." Audra whined.

"Shut up and let's go." Alinta barked, returning back to her humanoid form and walking off. Audra followed after her.

Alinta fainted as soon as she opened a metal door, revealing a few Lost Ones that already spotted the two teens. Alinta's eyes were glowing underneath.

Audra's POV

Nope. Not again. I'll take these down and send them back to where they came from. Uh...Where were they from, anyway? No matter, this'll be quick.

Kaiso's POV

I hope Alinta and Audra are doing well, but knowing them, they'll probably have already ignored both Alison and my warnings and gotten into trouble. They better not have done anything stupid.

"My ink swells and boils -" The Ink Demon started.

"Oh, shut up!" I hissed.

Alinta's POV

I'm in that dark place again. I can't see anything past the six feet in front of me. The only source of light is from me. Did I get a magic overdose? My body feels like it got stabbed by an arrow.

There's a girl who looks like me. She has a violet light emitting from her. Violet hair, nuclear eyes. I already hate her. She's got a corrupted aura that I don't like. She walks up to me, smirking like any typical, manipulative person would. She whispers, "Well, well, well, if it isn't the failed reincarnation of the famous Agent Phoenix. What brings you here?"

"Who are you? Why are you in my head?" I demand. My voice echoed through the headspace.

The girl chuckled. "Oh, I'm you, created by the hatred and negativity that you possess and feel. Why else would I be in your head?" She said darkly, her smile growing more wicked. She leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Yet I hear you have feelings for a certain someone~"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" I snapped.

"It's Audra, isn't it?"

Huh? "What?"

"Don't play dumb with me. I can hear - no, FEEL - how much you love her. You look at her as though she's a puppy in your eyes. You love her, don't you?"

"Y-You don't know anything!" I stuttered.

The dark version of me huffs. "Keep telling yourself that."

"...Why are you here?" I ask.

"Oh, I think we both know the answer to that." The girl sparked a spark of moonlight. "I'm the dark version of your moonlit powers, after all. As long as you live, I keep haunting both you and your little crush."

"Stay away from Audra!" I growl.

"Oh, I will, but the Lost Ones won't stay away from the two of you until you leave the universe." She whispered. She snapped her fingers, creating a vision of Audra fighting off the Lost Ones fiercely. Dark Alinta hissed, "If you want your precious little girlfriend to not get hurt, I can help you - at a price."

I look at the current situation that was out of my hands. I need to make a decision, and it's gotta be now. "Tell me what I need to do."

Some Galahs Go On an Inky Mission: Chapter 6

Kaiso's POV

As I reached the city, I kept a close eye on the child. As Bendy walked beside me, I couldn't help but feel the need to get rid of him. I wonder how Alinta and Audra are doing?

Snugglebunny's (Author) POV

Kaiso... There was a lot of screaming. In general. Panicking is more of the emotion they felt. Don't ask.

"AAAAAA-"

"AAAA-"

Kaiso's POV

Maybe it's just the curse talking, but I think I need to return to...Abbadon. Ugh.

Buuuut, if I DO leave, Alinta and Audra will come after me and interrogate me. They may know about my cursed form by now.

It seems like I don't have a choice. I'll stay.

Mango's Adventures in Angst-Land: Chapter 8

(Author's Note: ...Come to think of it, has Caine gotten sued by the cast members? Also, a Harry Potter reference.)

Caine was just casually throwing an Abstraction into the cellar when Mango walked in, secretly searching for Scylla, although she had been told that Scylla had been abstracted. Mango sees what had happened and stopped moving, her jaw agape in shock. "HOLY -" Kiui starts to shout.

Mango turned to Caine and shouted, "YOU HAD A CELLAR AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!!"

Caine nervously chuckled. "W-well, Ginger, let's not be hasty now -"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND YOU THREW THE ABSTRACTION INTO THE CELLAR!"

"Oh my dear lord, this world is insane." Kiui muttered.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mango snuck out of her room, being careful to be quiet. Kiui asks, "Are you really sure you can open up the cellar again?"

"This is a great plan Kiui. TRUST ME." Mango hissed.

"Sure...Ginny." Mango ignores Kiui as she snaps her fingers, opening up the cellar. "Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I'm jealous." Kiui muttered enviously. A minute passed by before Mango smirked and Kiui devilishly said, "Jump in."

Mango proceeded to jump into the cellar.
