~Meanwhile in mike's mind~
Mike had just entered the prison in which his personalities were being held. "Why it's nice to see you all again. I hope you're finding the restraints comfortable." "Mal, ve vant to see mike, LET UZ GO!" svetlana yelled. "EH YO WHY'RE 'YA DOIN' THIS TO US?!" vito said, squirming trying to get out so he could punch the little torturer. "Mal's the one in control…, you guys are looking at the NEW mike!" Everyone gasped at the same time as they all stared at his similarity in facial features to mal. "ZAT'S A LIE, MIKE VOULD NEVER DO ZIS TO UZ!" svetlana spat back at him. "Would you all just shut your pie holes! 'ya ingrates!" Chester interrupted. Vito and svetlana were surprised at chester's loudness. "That IS mike, you ninny's. He's been hypnotized!" Mike smirked, "as if, I just went with the fun side." "You mean mal's side, don't you get that he's evil?!" "MAL'S MY FRIEND, MY BEST FRIEND, HE'S THE ONLY PERSON I CAN TRUST! UNLIKE YOU GUYS!" "What 'da heck are 'ya talking about?!" Vito asked confused. Mike looked down, "whenever dad was…-" the whole room was completely silent the minute mike mentioned his father. "YOU GUYS NEVER HELPED ME WHEN I NEEDED YOU THE MOST! ESPECIALLY YOU VITO, ALL YOU DID WAS GET ME INTO TROUBLE!" Mike accused. Just then mike felt an arm on his shoulder, he turned around happily knowing it must be mal. It was manitoba, mike was shocked and stunned. Manitoba had a glare just for mike, "sorry, mate, this is gonna hurt you a LOT more than it's gonna hurt me." He said right before he punched him in the face, knocking him out. Everyone was stunned and worried for mike. "MANITOBA, VAT DID YOU DO?!" Svetlana yelled. "I had to, mal's gonna come back at any moment so I gotta help you guys first." Manitoba said, running up to svetlana. Though however, he didn't know that mal had one of his mobile seeing mirrors, hidden in one of the dark corners of the room. So...mal appeared, there was no small flash of light or any sign of his presence, not even that manitoba could notice. As he stepped out of the shadows, chester was the first to notice him. "MANNY, LOOK OUT!" Manitoba looked behind him and saw mal, before he could even react, mal already had his hand on his neck. His grip was tight, before he passed out from suffocation mal threw him across the room and ran over to mike, shaking him to get up. "MIKE, MIKE GET UP!" Mike opened his eyes, "mal?" Mike then saw mal's arms and noticed red 'points', mike was alarmed at this. "You're arms...what happened?!" "They sedated me, I was caught at the bottom floor and they tackled me. I'm sorry mike." "But you're ok, right? you're not going to disappear or anything right?" "Of course not, I'm right here and I'll always be here...forever." Mike began to cry as mal hugged him for comfort, mike hugged him back. Svetlana, vito, and even chester had tears in their eyes. Manitoba felt more uneasy than pity, until he made an awful decision…. He grabbed mal and tried to pull him away from mike, the two held their ground and manitoba pulled harder, making mal angry. Mal flew his hand up and attached it to manitoba's arm. Mal began to focus extremely and smoke started to emerge from where his hand was holding manitoba's arm. He let go to reveal melted, still smoking, flesh. Manitoba let go of mal, holding his hot arm, now both mike and mal were staring at him, mike's dark under-eye circles came back and his teeth were now as sharp as mal's as the two displayed a sadistic grin. They broke up their hug and mal focused on manitoba once more, he got thrown into the wall, hard, he couldn't move as restraints began to appear and hold his arms and legs. "LET ME GO!" Manitoba screamed, mal just looked at mike as mal put his arm around mike's shoulder and they began to walk out of the room. The door slammed shut making a loud noise. The minute the two boys were alone, mal announced his new game and mike loved the idea, they ran down the hall to what mal was now calling "The Playground". "OK so it's called Sailor. And we're the captains of the ship...It's kinda like Pirate, that game we played last week remember?" Mike nodded to say "yes" so mal wouldn't have to go into too much detail. As they were running mal told mike about his powers: To make things appear with his mind, mike thought this was a super cool power and asked him if he could make the game more realistic. Mal told him yes and as they started to make it to the end of the hall mike heard thunder and waves crashing around. He looked at mal, laughing. The two were laughing hysterically and mal's face started to look more friendly as did mike's, Their dark circles disappeared and their teeth became normal and their smiles...instead of malicious, were kind and sweet. Mal focused on both of their heads and sailor caps appeared, making mike giggle. Then they entered "The Playground" and all that mike saw was a raging storm, heavy waves, pounding rain, lightning. "WHERE'S THE BOAT?" Mike had to yell over the storm, then he pointed straight forward and mike saw the big, old looking, wooden boat, and there was a mermaid on the front, she looked familiar. Mal used his powers to move the boat toward them, then the mermaid looked more clear and he was shocked. It was...ZOEY! And she had a horrified look on her face as if she had been tortured, mike felt nauseous. Mal noticed and he then put his hand on mike's shoulder, mike looked at mal. As the two exchanged glances, mal's eyes turned black and his face grew serious….mike paused and then remembered what mal had told him. His eyes became black as well and he looked angry. A bridge was created and the two boarded the ship. And so...the game started as the two sailors laughed evilly and ran to the steering wheel and stood side-by-side. Mike was now purposely steering the front of the ship in walls and pointed rocks, hitting the Zoey Mermaid. His face was identical to mal's as he nodded in approval of mike's evil deeds.
