"Wait," I stop, "shouldn't End and Null be back by now?"

"Well this isn't good," Good replies, "I can't sense their auras. Something's wrong. We should-"

I miss the ball.

"Ha ha! I win!" Good exclaims, "but seriously, we may be in some deep shit."

A nature spirit with odd, red bark for skin and piercing, bone white eyes stares at is from the entrance, holding my hammer. Red vines grow in its presence.

"Hey," I greet, "let me guess, you killed Null and End, right?"

The nature spirit nods.

"And you're planning to use that power to erase I.T., right?" I inquire.

The nature spirit nods again.

"Pen curse it," I sigh, "listen kid, why not forget about I.T. like End? You can have a good life. Just give back the souls."

"I'm sorry," the spirit replies, "I truly am, but I.T. is dangerous. Your friendship has blinded you to their sins. It's nothing personal, but if I.T. lives, many more die. Hey, if I do erase I.T., does that offer still stand?"

Uhhhh... they don't actually seen like a bad kid, just, dedicated. Kinda reminds me of Uncannoned. His undying will to erase I.T. before Null stopped him. Only, there is no one to stop this kid and show them they are falling into the same trap that I.T. fell into. If they erase I.T., then they will be no better than them.

"Listen," I explain, "I.T. isn't a bad person, really. Just put the hammer down. You can hate them, that's fine, but this is murder. How are you any better than them?"

"If I let them destroy the world," the spirit asks, "am I not just as guilty as them?"

"No one has to be erased," Good interjects, "there's good in them, just like everyone else. Also, if you fail, then yes, the offer still stands."

"Heh," the spirit smirks, "then I guess I may as well try."

The spirit stabs Good with vines before they can react. Good gasps for air as blood trickles from their mouth. "How dare you stab my sister!" I exclaim, "die!" I lunge, only to be impaled and killed.

I take the souls. Maybe I.T. doesn't have to die... well, here's what I'll if I.T. defeats me, then trying to kill them again would be futile anyways. Sounds fair, right? Great! Cause it's time to end this.
