Once again, no replies this time. I'm just going to get to the chapter right away. However, before anyone asks, I have no intention of making a sequel. This story is a standalone. However, I do plan on making more Inside Out fanfictions.

Anyways, let's get going.

Annis ran down the streets towards the bridge, feeling degraded and humiliated.

How could the mighty have fallen like this? Not a half hour ago, she was the leader of the city. She was the ruler. She was God. And suddenly, all her power had been stripped from her in an instant.

All because of Riley. And Caroline.

Her feelings of pure, unrestrained hatred towards the two of them fueled her soul. She would make them pay, somehow. But first she had to find a way out of the city before her former followers caught up to her.

She could hear the sounds of hundreds, millions of children and preteens, all swarming after her, their arms outstretched like the claws of Death itself, ready to drag her to her doom. Annis had never felt so terrified in her life.

"Annis, stop!" She heard Riley call. She ignored it. Secretly, she wanted to turn around and tear out Riley's throat, but she was severely, horridly outnumbered. She wouldn't be able to touch Riley before she was overwhelmed.

She could hear the sounds of the kids getting closer, hearing their shouts drilling into her ears. She knew she couldn't outrun all of them. She had to find some other way to escape.

Thinking quickly, Annis darted into an alleyway, where she was met with several attack dogs that charged at her, snapping at her. Annis quickly dove onto a giant dumpster, out of the dogs' reach. They hopped up at her, snapping and clawing at her, but they couldn't reach her.

Annis quickly jumped towards an open window, crawling up it. She crawled onto the roof of the building, and continued running. She knew the other kids wouldn't be able to catch her up there. Now, she just had to find some sort of vehicle to sneak out of the city from.

Below, the kids stopped at the building, Riley at the front.

"Follow Annis to the bridge!" Riley ordered the bodyguards. "Make sure she doesn't leave. I'll go get her!"

With that, she jumped onto the dumpster and made it onto the roof to continue her pursuit. Caroline and the others watched her leave.

As they did, Jake turned and said, "Hey look, it's a helicopter," He said, pointing at a small blue helicopter. It was then that the kids realized they were standing next to a helicopter manufacturer.

"Hey, I know this," Meg said, climbing inside the helicopter.

"Wait, what?" Harold asked, bewildered.

"My dad was a technician," Meg revealed as she turned the helicopter on. "He showed me how to turn this thing on before he passed away. He said it'd be useful some day."

Harold stared blankly at her.

"...What?!"

Caroline stared up at the buildings where Annis was, and an idea formed in her head.

"Uh, Meg, do you think you could take me up to the roof?" She asked with a smile.

Annis ran, feeling an adrenaline rush as she hopped over the tops of the buildings to get to the bridge. She could see her bodyguards racing towards the street, but she was faster than they were.

Behind her, Riley was right on her heels. "Annis, stop!" She shouted. "You have to stop! This is pointless!"

Annis didn't respond initially, but then an idea formed in her head. As Riley ran after her, Annis froze suddenly, spun around, and punched Riley in the gut. The force of the blow knocked the wind out of Riley, and she collapsed in a heap onto the ground.

Annis would've liked to finish Riley off at the moment, but she had to hurry if she was to escape. She continued running, diving onto the roof of another building. She was nearing the bridge.

As she ran, she couldn't help but hear the choppy sound of what appeared to be rotating helicopter wings. At the moment, however, she ignored it. Her chance to escape was too close.

She reached the edge of another building, and saw, to her glee, a stack of bicycles down below. She could just pick one, and be out of the city before anyone could catch her. Before she could climb down the building, however, a familiar voice called out, "Annis!"

Annis spun around to see Caroline, standing on the opposite edge of the roof. Annis was wondering how she had gotten there so fast.

"Come and get me, ugly!" Caroline goaded, a smug look on her face. "Come on, come on! I'm right here!"

Caroline's insults fueled Annis' rage. She wanted so badly to kill her, but was it worth her only chance of escape?

"Come on, chicken!" Caroline shouted out. "Are you chicken? Bock, bock, bock, chicken! You're nothing but a cowardly, arrogant, bully!"

Annis' eye twitched, and she gritted her teeth in anger. Her muscles tensed as she fought to urge to tear Caroline apart. She steeled herself to ignore the taunts and climb down to the bikes, but at the same time, she could feel her anger overwhelming her.

"I'm right here, Annis!" Caroline shouted. "You sickening... stupid... horrendous % #*&!"

That was the last straw. With a growl, Annis charged at Caroline, who stood where she was. She watched as Annis approached her at a fast pace. She drew her breath, closed her eyes, and waited.

Then, at the last millisecond, with Annis' rage-filled face right in front of hers, arms outstretched to grab her, Caroline dove off the edge of the roof. Annis couldn't stop herself in time, and she, too, fell off.

As Annis fell, she saw it. The helicopter rising up the building, being piloted by Meg with Harold, Jake, Brooke, Madison, and Harriet all inside. Madison arm was outstretched from the sliding door, and she was grasping Caroline's hand, keeping her from falling. She pulled the girl inside, letting Annis fall.

As Annis fell, she realized she had been tricked. She landed on a smaller building with a thud, knocking her senses out. There she lay, injured and bruised. Blood trickled from her nose.

Riley, who had seen the whole thing, soundlessly dropped onto the same building as Annis. She cautiously approached her former friend, watching as she lay there in agony.

"Annis," Riley whispered, kneeling down to her friend. Annis turned to stare at her.

"Why?" Annis asked, starting to lift herself up. "Why did you do all of this, just for that insignificant girl. I could have offered you everything."

"No, you couldn't," Riley retorted. "That "insignificant" girl offered me more than whatever offer you could have. And I can do the same for you. Surrender peacefully, and we'll go back together."

Annis stared at Riley, a look of shock on her face. Then, her face tensed, and she whispered, "Pathetic."

With that, she lunged at Riley, her nails digging into Riley's throat. Riley choked out in pain as Annis hoisted her into the air, holding her above the edge of the roof.

"Riley!" Caroline shouted as the helicopter flew towards them, hovering above them. Harold and Jake pressed their faces against the window, looking horrified. Caroline seemed ready to jump out to Riley, but Madison and Brooke held her in.

"I'll get out of here," Annis declared to Riley. "I'll go to the nearest city, and find more children who will follow me. And then, I'll continue what I've started. But first, I'm going to kill you!"

With that, she dropped Riley from the roof. However, as she fell, Riley reached out and grabbed Annis' collar. With a shriek, Annis was yanked off the roof with Riley. The two girls plummeted off the roof into the alleyway, locked in each others hold.

"Riley!" Caroline shouted. Then, before anyone could do anything to stop her, she jumped out of the helicopter after them.
