In-Khonsu-quential

(Cal's POV:)
I'm walking through camp, everything is normal, and... a little too quiet... I blink, and suddenly I'm in front of Set, Momiji, and Xylo. Naturally, I panic. "W-what the hell!?" I ask, and Set chuckles, his voice sounding like it's all around me at once, like always. "Well Cal, I wanted to have some FUN again, of course!" He responds with a smug look on his face, and my eyes widen, backing up and away from him. Suddenly, I feel like I'm being grabbed, but there's nothing there, and I get brought over to Set, struggling to get away. "So, Cal... here's your choice. Either I kill Momiji and Xylo.... or you sacrifice yourself for them! Isnt that a good deal?" He asks with a crazy look in his eyes, and I know what I have to do. I bow my head slightly, and then look up at Momiji and Xylo. "Hey, Guys? If Riccaro ever comes back... tell him I'll miss him, okay?" I ask, my final request to them. Momiji flinches at his name, but nods slowly. "You can't tell something to someone who doesn't exist anymore, Cal. But okay. I promise." She says, and Xylo bristles in outrage. "No! Cal, you can't—!" He shouts at me, but Set tsks at him and uses the same air magic to pin him to the wall so he can't do anything. "He made his choice, Son of Hades!" He says with a smile on his face. Then he turns to me, and I tense up, waiting for him to strike. He pulls a sword out, and places it just over my heart. "Farewell, Cal. Say 'Hi' to Khonsu for me." He says, and then he stabs me in the heart. Everything goes black. I feel like I'm floating on air for a moment, but then it stops. I look around, confused why I'm not dead, and I see... Riccaro. "Oh my god, RICCARO!!" I yell, and dash over to him, hugging the sobbing Son of Set. His eyes widen, and he looks at me like he saw a ghost, and he hugs me back, sobbing harder. "C-cal! I-I, I thought Set—" He manages, but I shush him. "I don't know either Riccaro. Are you okay?" I ask softly, and he nods. "Y-yeah... just... I wanna be back to normal... I'm sorry for yelling at you guys and calling you liars... I... I understand why you didn't tell me now..." He says, and I smile and hug him close, trying to comfort the small demon child.

{Meanwhile...}

(General POV:)
Cal's body go limp for a moment, before a bright flash goes off, blinding everyone temporarily, and Set gets knocked back with the force of it. Standing there was... Cal, but something wasn't right. His normally Blue hair was white with blue tips, his outfit changed to look more like what a Pharaoh would wear, and his eyes... his eyes were a vibrant, bright blue, so much so that they seemed to glow. Set almost seemed to pale as he looked at this new arrival, confusing Xylo and Momiji. What could possibly scare the Lord of Chaos himself? Then 'Cal' spoke. "Well, Set... I must admit, I'm disappointed. Why would you try to kill us? Why harm a helpless Demigod who would have left you alone if you hadn't messed with his friends? Why harm... YOUR BEST FRIEND?" He asked, and Set looked down, seeming almost... ashamed? "I... Look, you KNOW what Horus and Ra did! They must face the consequences of locking me away! Surely you understand!" Set says, looking up at 'Cal' pleadingly. 'Cal' shakes his head, looking down at the god in a disdainful yet pitying manner. "No, Set. This is not the right path. Try instead for Redemption and Forgiveness. Just because you are Chaos, does not mean you are Evil. Remember this." 'Cal' says, and Set bows his head. "...okay... how do I go about changing to the right path? I cannot see any other way. It is as though I have been blinded, Friend of mine. Please. Show me the way?" Set asks, and 'Cal' smiles, kneeling down to his level. "Of course. It all begins with giving Control back to Riccaro. He is not your vessel, Set. He is your son, your reincarnation. You were once much like him. I know you don't remember now, but you were. Let him speak, please." 'Cal' advises, and through all of this, Xylo and Momiji sit there, shell shocked at the fact that Cal was somehow managing to tell Set what to do, AND HE WAS LISTENING! Set nods, and his body goes back to Riccaro's, his eyes that blue-purple once more. Momiji sobs, and falls to her knees, crying and in shock. Xylo kneels beside her, trying to comfort her. 'Cal' smiles at Riccaro. "Hello, Riccaro. I apologize for Set. He will try to be better now." Riccaro looks up at 'Cal' and tilts his head a bit. "Cal?  I don't understand... how come you could tell Set what to do all of a sudden?" 'Cal' laughs, and smiles. "Oh, my apologies, I forgot to introduce myself!" 'Cal' stands up. "My name is Khonsu. I'm Cal's god. He's resting right now, getting stabbed isn't fun." Khonsu smiles, and leads Riccaro over to Momiji and Xylo. "Momiji? Darling? Why are you crying? Don't cry!" Riccaro says worriedly, and he rushes up and hugs her, trying to help. Xylo smiles. "She just needs some time, bud. Why don't we go talk?" He asks, and Riccaro nods, following Xylo. Khonsu approaches Momiji. "So... now that he's back... do you want to be back to normal?" Momiji nods, still crying. Khonsu smiles, and gently waves his hand over Momiji, reversing time to make her back to when she didn't have the doom cube, but retaining her memories and the like. Momiji looks at herself in wonder, and then hugs Khonsu before rushing to Riccaro. Khonsu smiles, and lets himself fade into his and Cal's shared Mindspace, planning to stay there until he wakes.

A few weeks Later, everything is calm. Brandeen has been beaten off by Lychee. Drannus has been overpowered by his siblings. All is good.
