"Time to wake up ma peche." Albedo stood over MOMO's body, his head thrown back in a silent cackle and his hands thrown carelessly into the air. "It is time for you to share you secret with me, your father's secret with me." He trailed a finger along the side of MOMO's face and she gasped in fear.
"Please, leave me alone," she pleaded as she turned her frightened face away from Albedo's hand and saw a pile of Kirschwassers in a corner. She began to cry, "Ziggy, help me."
"I have searched for this secret for a long time my dear and I have finally found it within you. Your soulless body is nothing but a tool for the destruction of the human race. Your defenses will fail, and your shell of a body will be mine. To think that so much time and care has been wasted on you. Ha!" He grabbed MOMO up by her arm. "Such a frail and fragile being. No, not being, rag doll. If only I knew the weakness to your defenses. Perhaps I should dip in again and try to find it." Albedo formed his hand into a fist above MOMO's head.
MOMO's hands shook with fear, for she knew what was going to happen. It had happened before. Albedo slowly unclenched the fist and inserted his hand into MOMO's head. Her back arched and her arms fell limp to the floor. The deeper Albedo inserted his hand to more she whimpered in pain. Her eyes fluttered shut and she gasped for air.

"MOMO!" Shion's eyes shot open and she found herself surrounded by an immense light. A short blonde figure stood before her, its body draped in a long flowing white cloth. Shion reached out to touch the being, but found it intangible. "Who, who are you?" She stood, brushing herself off and looking curiously at the figure.
"MOMO needs your help, Shion. She is falling farther and farther away and Albedo may be gaining control over her. Her pain is immense and she is slowly losing faith in herself. It won't be long until her defenses fail and then there is no telling what Albedo will do with the Y-Data or to her. Please, you need to find the strength within yourself and wake up. She needs you, Shion. She needs all the help she can get right now, so please hurry. Reach deep within yourself and you will find what you need." Nephilim stepped forward out of the light, her hand reaching to take a hold of Shion's. She lightly grasped it and looked Shion in the face. "Please, for MOMO's sake, hurry. Hurry for all our sakes, Shion." She then slowly closed her eyes and vanished. Shion looked down and saw her own body lying limply on the floor. She then lost her balance and plummeted down towards the ground.
--
"Please... Please stop." MOMO's voice was barely audible. Her hand trembled as she reached up towards Albedo's hand. His body wreathed as he maniacally cackled again and again.
"Oh, this is nice. What have we here?" Albedo's face twisted into an evil snarl as he removed his hand from MOMO. Her body fell limp to the ground, her whimpers not ceasing. "How can something as simple as you hold such power and mystery." He ran his fingers through his shiny white hair, his purple eyes glaring down at her. "Your will is failing and soon I will win. Just you wait MOMO, you will be my mannequin, my marionette. I will control you."
MOMO's body laid still on the ground, her fingers the only thing moving. Albedo walked over to her and nudged her with his foot. "You must stay alive until I find that data and then the world and I will no longer have a use for you." He bent down and easily picked her up and flung her over his shoulder. He then walked to another room that smelled of flowers and was decorated with pink wallpaper. In the corner there was a small bed with a light pink canopy. Albedo walked over to the bed and laid MOMO's small body on the bed. He covered her up and closed the canopy. "Sleep now ma peche, for the next time we meet may be your last." He cackled and left the door, locking it behind him.

choas looked down as tears flowed from Shion's sleeping body. He placed a finger on her face and wiped the tears away. Shion's hand flung up and smacked his hand back. "Shion? You're okay?" chaos sat Shion up and look attentively at her.
"chaos, we have to get to MOMO. She is in danger and Albedo is close to capturing the Y-Data. If we don't hurry, there may be nothing we can do." Shion quickly got to her feet and turned to see KOSMOS. "KOSMOS! What...when did you get here? Oh, never mind, please, help me find her." Shion grabbed KOSMOS's hand, tears pouring from her eyes. "He's hurting her."
"Affirmative. We will get to MOMO, but Shion, you must calm yourself or risk the success of this mission. In your condition there is a high probability that your emotions will get in the way and as a result, MOMO may get hurt." KOSMOS withdrew her hand and looked sternly at Shion. Shion nodded and wiped the tears from her face.
"Right. Let's go." Shion turned to the others who were already up and out of the hole.
"Shion, hurry up." Shion climbed up and ran to the side of her comrades. "This is were it all ends, Albedo."
