As the girls rushed to the stairs, they had entered into the catacomb and finds a bizarre blue light coming from a teenage silver-haired girl who is waiting for her. She was sitting on the throne made of bones where there was a field of skulls around her. She seemed to be a thirteen years old and had gray hair with skulls beautifying her straight hair for her ponytails. She's also wearing her inncoent maid outfit and had a blue light hanging on of her back. Her eyes were bloody red, but it has the outline of a semi skull in both pupils. Her name is Marie. She stares calmly at Ms. Fortune and Lola once they walked in the middle of the room.
"Alright, Skullgirl!" Ms. Fortune hollered. "You know why we're here!"
"I do." Marie spoke.
"So, no offense, but you're the last thing standing between us and our family, so let's get this show on the road!" Ms. Fortune shouted.
"I too have lost much to the Medicis." Marie said calmly. "Do you two not seek vengeance? Wishes such as yours rarely turn out well."
"We've got to try." Ms. Fortune frowned. "The Fishbone Gang raised us, protected us, and taught us everything we know."
"Even after my two sisters killed my family and left me in the streets until I've met them." Lola frowned as well. "The least we can do is return the flavor."
"Your instincts are admirable." Marie said with a understanding tone. "My wish was also to protect my friends."
"Look, we're gonna have to stop you before you get to the 'We're a lot alike, you and us' bit." Ms. Fortune replied.
"We've come too far to turn around, so it's time to claw and buried that heart out of you." Lola growled.
"So be it." Marie said. "I hope your wish turns out well."
Lifting her hands in the air, thunder and lightning appear to bolt around the room. Ms. Fortune and Lola looked around and they were no longer in the catacombs, but on a weird blue level surface that looked like it was made of veins. The broken statues of the Divine Trinity and skulls floating everywhere. And Marie's eyes were glowing that has appeared to be a skull on her pupils as she begin to hover in mid-air.
"You two will make a unique addition to my army." Marie said, summoning gigantic skulls and creatures to surround her and send two demon skeletons to hold off Ms. Fortune.
"Show me your strength!" Lola giggled.
Lola begins to charge forth and fires a bunch of hard sand rocks at Marie where her body wasn't protected by the skulls. Though Marie kept sending denom skulls and some skulls from the blockade, Lola continues to fight her off with using her sand powers. Then, Marie's eyes glowed bright red and now had a distantly humanoid silhouette made out of the veins on the ground behind her and command it to attack, and a shadowy figure keep on slamming and harming Lola from getting closer to its master. Getting up, Lola charged forward again and delivers a flurry of punches and kicks to damage Marie multiple times. Suddenly, Marie started to cry out in pain as she begin to change again. Now she was nonentity more than a group of bones encircling the Skull Heart. Dodging the summoning skeletons and flying demon skulls, Lola crosses her arms and spins around to summon up a strong sandstorm at Marie and then quickly jumped behind her into midair to fire the hard sandy rocks to explode before ultimately defeating the Skullgirl. Marie let out a painful scream once her body finally vanished from the world.
After defeating the Skullgirl Marie, Ms. Fortune and Lola takes possession of the Skull Heart as they took a long look at it.
"Alright, Lola. This is it." Ms. Fortune told Lola.
"Yup, I guess it is." Lola nodded
Ms. Fortune and Lola let out a tiny smile on their decision. They have so many great friends back at Little Innsmouth and they're not giving them up.
"I…I can't do it." Ms. Fortune spoke. "We have so many new friends in Little Innsmouth. Terrible as it was, what happened made us who we are today. Changing that would be…wrong."
"Me either." Lola replied. "Besides, that's what the Skull Heart is here for. To tempt us into doing the wrong thing. Marie said her wish was similar and look how she turned out."
Ms. Fortune and Lola gave each other nods as they both knew what they have to do.
"Well, no more!" Ms. Fortune cried.
"Let's end this!" Lola yelled.
With that, Ms. Fortune performs a upward kick and Lola fires a blast of sand from her palm to slash the Skull Heart.
"You heart is pure." The Skull Heart spoke. "But this world will always be cursed by me and will be cursed with Skullgirls. Just what I've told your mother."
"All that for a life lesson?" Ms. Fortune asked in annoyance. "How annoying."
"You say it." Lola agreed with a nod.
"Well, better go check in on everyone back in Little Innsmouth and get some food." Ms. Fortune suggested.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted." Lola nodded.
With that, Ms. Fortune and Lola walked back to Little Innsmouth. As they arrived back, they walked in the restaurant with smiles on their faces.
"Mew Nyan, we're back!" Ms. Fortune and Lola called out.
"Nadia! Lola!" Yu Wan called with terror. "There you are! Minette has been kidnapped! All the River King's daughters and the others, too! Little Innsmouth is in a panic!"
"What?!" Ms. Fortune exclaimed in a shock. "Who would dare do such a thing?!"
"That's when I come in." An tall, handsome detective spoke as he walked in front of Ms. Fortune and Lola. "My name is Irvin and I'm a private detective. The River King hired me to find his daughters. The source of this fine establishment was talking me that there have been numerous mafia sightings in the area recently. That's the only lead we've got."
"Medici Mafia!" Lola exclaimed with a snarl. "We've should have known! Maybe Marie had it right all along!"
"Irvin, we're coming with you." Ms. Fortune spoke with determination in her voice. "Those black-hearted bastards already took two families from us and like hell we're going to let them do it again."
"Hang in there, Minette." Lola said as she cracked her knuckles. "We'll find you! And for my sisters, they're gonna get what's coming to them!"
