The imposter confronts the duo in the hallway.

"Enoch," he begins, "guardian of the Third Zone, I have come to purify you."

"Not again," The Batter replies, "Your mad crusade ends here you imposter."

"Oh," the imposter replies, "you're the imposter. You have abandoned your old purpose for a lie, a facade to escape your past sins. I shall finish my crusade. I shall purify this world."

The Batter recalls another phrase. "No desert for you," a voice says.

The Batter suddenly sustains massive damage. He uses a fortune ticket to recover.

The imposter attacks. A purification is in progress.

"Do you really think you can defeat us?" Enoch asks, "with my girth and The King's raw strength, you don't stand a chance!"

The King...

No, he is The Batter. The Batter pushes these thoughts aside. He begins to consider a possibility. One he can't accept...

The Imposter strikes with a Magic Home Run. Enoch chuckles at the pathetic attack. Alpha strikes with a Long Chain. The Batter narrowly avoids the attack.

Omega strikes with an Optimised Blur. The Batter is brought to his knees by the attack. Epsilon strikes with an Abstract Tragedy. The Batter's vision begins to darken.

He feels the itch once more. He wants to purify. His jaw begins to stretch, and his hands begin to grow into claws.

He fights the change.

"No!" He yells, "not like this!"

"There it is," the imposter smirks, "our pure self. You and me, we're the same Batter. Embrace your purity and assist me in my sacred mission."

The Batter glares. "That is not pure," he growls, struggling to maintain his true identity. REAL purity. Pure of heart, compassionate, kind, all the things he wasn't last time. He finally realizes that THIS is pure... that life is pure, "life is pure. I am pure."

"Life is corruption," the imposter replies, "you are impure. If you truly believe that, then prove it at the switch. There, we shall find which of us is truly pure."

The imposter changes, becoming monstrous, he becomes... impure.

The Batter wants to purify, but this time, he wants to purify something truly impure.

The Batter decides now would be the best time to put on the mask. He puts it on...

Enoch tries to Trigger Element on the imposter. The imposter deflects the attack his his massive claws.

"It's over," the imposter smiles, "purification is inevitable!"

The imposter Runs With Grace at the Batter. The Batter braces himself...

He hears a familiar laugh. "Now now," Zachrie smiles, "I made a promise to my friend here. One I intend to keep."

Zachrie joins the Batter's party.

"I take it this I just business," The Batter smiles.

"Nah," Zachrie replies, "this is different. I must ask you a question Batter. Of the two versions of you who stand before me, which is more pure? Which is true purity?"

"We are pure," The Batter replies, "this monster is the only impurity in this world. He MUST be purified."

"Just making sure," Zachrie smiles, "let's get this over with."

Zachrie uses competence, striking with a Half Off Slash.

Omega falls with a single strike. Zachrie manages to attack again before anyone else can prepare. He uses competence once more, hitting Alpha with a Discounted Stab. Alpha too, falls.

Enraged, the imposter strikes Enoch with an Ultimate Home Run, decapitating him.

"No!" The Batter exclaims.

"This land," the imposter states, "is now TRULY pure."

The Batter and Zachrie are now Not Safe...
