Chapter 10: A Tails Doll Essence

[30 MINUTES LATER]

Tazzak couldn't believe what he was looking at. He walked across the bloodstained floor to the corpse of Cosmo. Enraged, he pointed at Vaarsivius. "YOU!" he yelled, in agony at what had just happened. Vaarsivius just laughed. "You do not know what I am. You can never understand." Vaarsivius reached into his pocket and brought out an Auric Knife. "You'll see Cosmo soon. Don't worry." Vaarsivius lunged forwards, brandishing the knife. Tazzak saw that Vaarsivius was charging at him, and he swiftly jumped out of the way of danger. As Vaarsivius hit the wall, a slight voice was heard... "Ccccaaaannnn yoooou feeeel it?" Vaarsivius looked up, and crawled to get to his paws. He turned and saw Cosmo's corpse lying on the ground. "Oh God...what happened?" Tazzak, still angry, screamed at the top of his lungs to Vaarsivius. "YOU KILLED HER, YOU IDIOTIC FOOL!" Vaar looked confused. "What? How could I? All I remember is killing the Tails Doll and then waking up here." He looked at the bloodied corpse and began to break down into tears. "WHY? HOW? I HAVE SO MANY GODDAMN QUESTIONS!" He pounded the ground. "DAMN IT!" Tazzak realized something. "That's all you remember? Hmm..." Tazzak began to think. With these clues... there is only one logical explanation!

Vaarsivius was controlled by the Tails Doll.

"I...I don't understand..." Vaarsivius took the Auric Knife and put it to his throat. "Forgive me." He then sliced it.

"WOAH, WOAH, WOAH, WOAH!" said Tazzak, who just saw his friend commit suicide. Tazzak ran to Vaarsivius. Sure enough, he was dead.

"Vaarsivius?" said Cosmo. Vaar realised he was in the afterlife. He then ran and fell to the ground at Cosmo's feet. "I'M SO SORRY! I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED." Tears streamed from his face. "Vaarsivius... it's okay..." said Cosmo, looking down at Vaarsivius. Vaar stopped crying. "W-w-what?" "It's okay. You didn't kill me. It was the Tails Doll. I knew something was wrong when you didn't say anything." Cosmo said. Vaar was in silence and shock at the realization that the Tails Doll had controlled him. "S-son of a...does that mean he's still out there?" Cosmo nodded. "Unfortunately, yes. This is why you warn them. I will grant you one extra life if you do this for me. Do you accept?" "I accept." Cosmo said "Okay then." and a magical blue ring formed around Vaarsivius' mid-area, spreading vertically, and eventually covering around him, turning him into a new, cleansed Vaarsivius. "Now, remember the promise!" Cosmo yelled, as Vaarsivius began to fall at speeds of 300 MPH towards the earth. "Weird, this is like deja vu". Vaarsivius' gravitational powers activated, and he fell on the roof of a building in Station Square.
