Rebecca's POV

HEEEY! I HOPE YOU GUYS MISSED ME, CUZ I MISSED YOU!

"And I have to say that I don't believe that for one second." Aura retorted.

I pouted. WHAAAT? CAN'T AN EGO OF YOUR FRIEND MISS YOU GUYS WITHOUT GETTING HATE?

"Can we sssssskip to the part where we fight, and beat the crap out of, you?"

I giggled a little. I DOUBT THAT, WITHOUT YOUR FALCHION OR PRECIOUS FALCHION WIELDER, YOU COULD BEAT ME.

"What are you saying...?" Object said with a glare.

I'M SAYING THAT YOU CAN'T BEAT ME WITHOUT YOUR GOD-SLAYER OR HER WEAPON.

"Are you saying you're a god? Please, you're an ego of Becca. She's not even a god!" Kit exclaimed.

I smirked at her. NO, SHE ISN'T. HOWEVER, I NOW AM SINCE YOU KILLED THE GOD OF THE NETHER.

"Oh, so you're now saying that you're the god of the Nether?"

CORRECT. WHAT, YOU THINK THE NETHER CAN RUN ON ITS OWN WITHOUT A GOD? PFFT, NO. THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE IN CONTROL, AND NOW IT'S ME.

spark growled, but Aura spoke. "'Howsabout we cut the chitchat and fight?'"

I sighed. YEAH, ABOUT THAT.... I'M NOT IN THE FIGHTING MOOD. I'M MORE IN THE TAKING-HOSTAGES MOOD.

Suddenly, a semi-scaled hand shot out in front of me, catching an arrow that was coming straight for my face. Evject swiftly pulled her bow and arrow, aiming at her clone.

Evassia threw the arrow away. "Might wanna pay a little more attention, Rebecca. Thesssssse guyssssss are pretty sssssstrong. And sssssstubborn." She warned.

Object was still aiming her bow at me, though she wasn't shooting.

NOTED. OBJECT....

"Screw you." She growled.

I ran a hand through my hair. LOOK, WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE CASTLE EITHER WAY, BUT IT CAN BE THE EASY OR THE HARD. RIGHT NOW, IT'S NOT LOOKIN' EASY.

Kit suddenly threw her stick at me, which confused me until it morphed into a giant freaking panther that knocked me over with a growl.

I growled back and teleported out from underneath. HMPH. HARD IT IS, THEN.

The panther seemed confused as to where I went as the pigmen around the group attacked, though I made sure that they didn't aim to kill, just incapacitate.

The panther finally spotted me and pounced, though it was met with a small barrier I temporarily created. It stumbled back in a daze, allowing me to step forward and punch it in the face reeeeeally hard. I basically sent it flying back into its group, knocking down Kit.

Funny.

Object seemed to be unknowingly backing towards me as she shot pigmen from a distance.

I shot a look towards Evject, who nodded and threw me one of her daggers.

I caught it easily and stood behind Object, who had paused.

"OBJECT! BEHIND YOU!" Known yelled as she fought off a pigman.

She turned around swiftly, slightly caught off guard with how close I was.

I sliced my dagger through her bowstring, making the wood part fling up and hit Object square in the face.

She yelped (though in shock because CIP) and dropped the bow, subconsciously holding her face before throwing a punch at me.

I caught it easily, twisting her arm behind her back and holding the dagger to her throat.

She struggled slightly but paused when she realized that she was NOT stronger than me.

Keeping a tight grip on her, I floated up above the battle in sight of everyone else. HEY, YOU MIGHT WANNA STOP.

Apparently I was loud enough to be heard as they all stopped, being held at sword-point by the pigmen.

Cassia scoffed. "Sssssso, didja jusssssst happen to choosssssse your sssssshipmate on purposssssse or accident or ssssssomething?"

My eyes widened and I'm pretty sure I blushed. WHAT THE...NO! SHE JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE ONE CLOSEST TO ME!

"Pfft, ssssssure~"

"Uhm, Cass, I would be angry at you, but I'm kinda in a dangerous position here...." Object said with a bit of difficulty.

HOW ABOUT Y'ALL THROW YOUR WEAPONS AWAY AND I WON'T HAVE TO SPILL BLOOD...AT THE MOMENT.

With reluctance, they did so.

In return, I dropped Object to the ground, which she then collapsed with an empathetical wince. "Geez, thanks, Rebecca. Pretty sure my ankle is sprained now."

YOU'RE WELCOME. NOW, IF YOU ALL ARE DONE BEING REBELLIOUS, I'M PRETTY SURE BECCA WOULD BE ECSTATIC TO SEE YOU.

Cassia glared at me as she picked up Object bridal-style, taking her over to the panther. They seemed to have a one-sided conversation before Cassia carefully placed Object onto the panther.

Object pouted but didn't complain.

I tossed Evject her dagger and she caught it, putting it with the other dagger...wherever that was.

We all walked rather uneventfully the rest of the way, though I knew that the entire group was glaring me to death.

I wonder how the baccas will react to their chief being a hostage....

Becca's POV

You're kidding....

No! She's...I can feel her! She didn't die, she...just left...and somehow manifested a body of her own!

That's not possible.

Clearly it is because she did it----

I froze.

...

She's here, isn't she...?

I...I don't know. She feels...different. More...powerful.

I stood from my bed and swiftly left the room, almost running into the doc bac.

"Oh, Becca! You're ok!" He exclaimed.

Yes, but we may not be in a moment! Look, can you get all the baccas to a safer location in the mansion? Maybe hide them in the rooms? There's...a major problem going on, and I don't want any casualties.

The doc looked confused, but he nodded.

I went into the Grand Hall and stared at the doors.

...You can't leave.

But I can open the doors and look out.

I went up to the doors and opened them.

Oh...

My...

God.

All my friends, including Jerome, were surrounded by pigmen. The...evil clones of Cass and Object were to the sides of a female.

Rebecca.

HEY, LOOK! IT'S MY OLD STOMPIN' GROUNDS!

I scoffed. Very funny. What do you want?

A LOT OF THINGS, BUT FIRST, WHY NOT COME OUT?

I ran a hand through my hair. I can't. Like, literally.

OH REALLY? THEN...I GUESS YOU DON'T MIND IF I JUST MAIM ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS REALLY QUICK....

Oh my God, Rebecca.... Fine.

I braced myself and stuck an arm beyond the boundary of the castle.

The world around us literally wavered and seemed to fade out. All my friends were clutching their heads....

And then I saw the body.

Of...Of il....

I'll...figure that out later.

Rebecca was wincing.

Actually, all the non-reader characters were wincing.

I pulled my arm back in and everything fixed itself. You want me to come out now?

Rebecca pouted. UGH, FINE, DON'T. I'M COMING IN, BUT YOU DO ANYTHING....

That extra power that I felt coming off her....

I rolled my eyes. Whatever.

With a bit of difficulty, I turned away from my friends and flew above the Grand Hall table, stopping to float above it.

I watched with a wince as my friends came in, pretty beat up. Object was on KitKat, who seemed to be injured as well.

They probably fought back against Rebecca.

But...Rebecca.

What was she doing back?

What did she want?

And...what's going to happen...?

Ok, seriously, that is a TERRIBLE way to end the chapter!

"OH MY GAAAAAWD, STOP IT."

>:P
