-Universal POV-
Emika desperately fights for her body back as the demon crawls forward, her mind swirling with hatred and rage.
'Let me have my body back! I won't let you hurt them!' Emika yells, making the demon stop and tilt her head.
"You can't stop me. I'm more powerful than you,"she growls, continuing forward. Gonzales backs up, and the others follow.
"What's going on?"
Barrel's voice floats into the room as he appears through he door, freezing in place as the demon snarls.
"You!" she cries out, dashing forward and slashing at him. Gonzales pulls him out of the way before he could get hit, causing the demon to impale the wall with her claws.
"Don't hurt him!" Gonzales breathes, pushing Barrel behind him and holding his sword out.
"Don't get in my way!" the demon growls, her voice swirling with different tones. She darts forward, pinning Gonzales to the floor. She bares her fangs in his face, and he kicks her in the stomach, sending her flying backwards. Emika winces as she feels the pain seep into her stomach.
The demon retreats, keeping a firm hold on Emika's mind. "See. I told you they hate you."
"We don't hate her!" Stephano yells, frowning slightly. "Don't believe her, Emika!"
"Who are you going to listen to? Some stupid people, or me, the one who's been with you for ever?"
"I... I don't know..." Emika frowns, backing away from the boys.
"Don't listen to her, Emika. Remember the good times we had?" Gonzales says quietly, stepping forward.
"Remember what he just did to you!" the demon hisses and Emika wraps an arm over her stomach.
"No! That was because you attacked me!" Gonzales says defensively.
"She's right... You attacked me..." Emika says softly, fear clouding her eyes as she backs farther away.
"Emika! Please," Gonzales says in a cry of emotional pain. "Don't listen to her."
"She needs to get that demon under control. She's going to die if she doesn't," Barrel says suddenly, staring at Emika with rage.
'I'm going to die anyways...' Emika thought as she stares at everyone is betrayal and fear. 'I'm outnumbered by a lot, and the demon won't be able to fend them off for long...'
"Attack Barrel."
Emika's eyes widen as she hears the demon speak. "Wh-what?"
"Get him. Get your revenge."
"For what?" she whispers.
"For fusing us together. For ruining your life. Do it. Do it now!"
Emika yells out of frustration, running towards Barrel with her claws poised to strike. Gonzales leaps in front of him, shielding him with his body. Emika skids to a stop, blinking.
"Don't you dare touch him," he hisses icily. Emika stares at him, her face falling. The others surround Barrel, staring at Emika.
"Z-Zales?"
"I'm sorry, Emika. If you attack Barrel, I will have to attack you."
Tears fall down Emika's face as she backs up.
"Insolent fool! Get back there and fight!"
Emika shakes her head, trembling.
"I'll have to make you, then!" the demon roars, forcing Emika demon extends her claws, slashing at Gonzales and sending him flying to the side.
"Come on, Barrel! Fight!" the demon growls, slashing at him. He dodged the attacks, pushing Emika backwards.
"Stop this nonsense!" he says, glaring.
"Fight!" she roars again, grabbing Barrel's shirt and slamming him against the wall. It trembles slightly, dust and debris falling around them.
"Let go of me," he replies threateningly.
"Never,"the demon hisses. Barrel brings a leg up, kicking her in the stomach and making her stagger towards the window.
"N-not fair!" the demon growls.
"It's all fair," he replies, fixing his shirt.
The demon roars, going for him again. This time, he swings his fist around, nailing her in the chest and sending her backwards, close to the window. It shatters as Emika slams against the wall, causing her to be showered in glass shards.
"Leave!" Barrel yells, running for her. The demon jumps to the side, landing in the shards as Barrel smacks the wall with his fist. The demon yelps slightly, and Emika gains control again.
"I said, leave!"
Emika looks around frantically, seeing two lit lanterns hanging just within reach. She grabs them, holding one in each hand.
"You all are crazy!" she yells. "I don't know why I ever liked you guys! You all are nuts!"
"Emika!" Stephano exclaims. She give the whole room one last look, seeing Mister Chair and Piggeh looking at her desperately.
"I'm sorry, guys," she says, throwing the lanterns in two different directions. They smash against the wooden floor, setting the room on fire.
Emika jumps out of the window, seeing the castle start to go up in flames. Her tail streaks out beside her as she falls from the top floor. She hears the screams of her friends inside the building, her eyes closing in sadness as tears fall.
"Goodbye, friends," she whispers as she hits the ground.
Emika jolts upright, breathing heavily. She looks around the room, seeing her familiar walls and furniture. Her eyes return to normal size as she stares at the tan stuffed dog in her hands.
"Oh, Mitzi, I had the most horrible dream ever. I was in Amnesia and Pewdie was there and I met the others then I got captured and stayed with the Barrels then I got injected with demon DNA then became that demon then I set the castle on fire and jumped to my death!" she cries out, clutching the toy to her chest.
A soft glow came from beside of her, and she looks over, seeing the laptop open with Amnesia playing and saying 'Game Over'. She stares confused, then shrugs, closing the game and shutting the laptop.
"No more Amnesia for me before bed," Emika smiles, remembering her friends.
