AN: Last chapter folks! Enjoy!

"Oh, mama. I found the motherload," Michael muttered to himself.

He had slipped into a random room to escape getting SQUIPed by his friends and ended up in some sort of storage room. Every single shelf was stocked full of Mountain Dew Red. Evalynn and Connor were synced again, which means technically only one of them needed to drink the soda like last time. However, Michael knew it was probably a good idea to have both drink it this time around so they wouldn't have any more trouble.

Grabbing a backpack that was laying conveniently by the door, he started grabbing as many bottles as he could and stuffing them inside. He peeked out the door, making sure no one would see him before slipping out.

"There you are, Michael. Why are you running?"

A hand grabbed onto his backpack and pulled him to a stop. He stumbled before turning to face Evalynn. Connor stood at his shoulder. The glass had been replaced with a bottle of the soda.

"Where'd you get the backpack, Michael?"

"Guys, listen, I have Mountain Dew Red in here. If you guys both drink it, we can go home. We can go find our friends."

"Mountain Dew Red? Oh, Michael, what are you thinking?"

"Evalynn, don't you want to finally not have to worry about Jason hurting you? You can be rid of him, once and for all."

Evalynn paused, Connor running into her as she stopped advancing toward Michael.

"I can…" she flinched and shook her head. "No, it's better this way. He helps me. And you're going to understand as soon as you drink this."

"Connor. Connor, you'll drink the Red, won't you? You drank it before."

"You have it in your backpack?"

Michael nodded, opening the backpack and pulling out one of the bottles.

"Give it to me," Connor said.

Michael held it out to him. He took it and unscrewed the cap, lifting it toward his lips. However, right before he could drink it, he turned it upside down and dumped the entire contents of the soda onto the ground.

"How gullible do you think I am?"

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me," Michael moaned, looking at the empty bottle.

"Now you're turn. And you are really going to drink it."

"Not in a million years!"

Michael turned and began to run back down the hall. Behind him, he could hear his friends running after him. Looking over his shoulder, he saw Evalynn but no Connor. Turning, he entered a random room off the hall. Hiding behind the door, he waited until Evalynn had entered and then shut it quickly.

"Evalynn, please. I know you want to get rid of him. He's made your life Hell since you first activated it last year."

"He's helping me. With him, I'm wonderful, Michael. I don't have to worry about fucking up everything when he's telling me how to act and what to say."

"He nearly killed you!"

"I'm still here."

"Only because Connor got you to the hospital in time! Come on, Lynn. Get rid of him. Don't you want to stop having to block Evan out of your life? You remember Evan, right? Your twin brother that loves you and wants what's best for you?"

"If he truly wants what's best for me, he wouldn't make me drink Mountain Dew Red like you are."

"That's not true."

Michael reached back into the backpack, bringing out another bottle.

"You and Connor are synced. Technically, only one of you has to drink it like last time. However, I thought maybe you would both want to drink some, since you didn't last time and look where that's gotten us."

"I could drink it, and both SQUIPs would deactivate. Then we could find Connor and have him drink it so he doesn't continue to hear his like I did last time."

"That's right. All you have to do is drink this now. Please, Lynn."

Evalynn swallowed, looking longingly at the bottle in Michael's hand.

"Take it. Drink the soda, Lynn."

Evalynn reached out for the soda, then flinched back.

"Come on, Lynn. Fight him."

"He'll up the voltage on me…I can't take it."

"Want me to help you?"

Evalynn nodded, then flinched slightly more violently. Michael bit his lip, unscrewing the cap on the bottle.

"It's okay, Lynn. Everything is going to be okay," he said, walking closer to her.

She nodded again, tears falling slowly down her face as Jason shocked her again.

"I'm going to pour some down your throat, okay?"

"J-just do it, Michael," she said, flinching again.

He put the bottle to her lips and tipped it, letting the liquid flow into her mouth before taking it away. A moment later, she screamed and clutched her head like last time as the SQUIP deactivated. Michael stood back, waiting for it to pass before speaking to her again.

"Let's go find Connor, okay?"

"O-okay."

Evalynn opened the door to leave and found the way blocked by the Creator. She had one hand gripped around Connor's arm.

"Well, well, we have been a naughty girl, haven't we?"

"Connor."

Connor opened his mouth, but the grip on his arm tightened and he shut it again, shaking his head slightly.

"You had one job, Evalynn. And now I've lost my best SQUIP because of you," the Creator spat.

"Jason ruined my life! I'm glad he's gone."

"Jason was the best thing that ever happened to you!"

"That's not true," Michael cut in.

"It is true. Without Jason, she's nothing. An insignificant nobody who can't do anything right because of her anxiety. Pitiful. Terrible. An absolute-"

"SHUT UP!" Evalynn screamed.

The Creator stared at Evalynn, surprised. She momentarily took her hand off of Connor's arm, taking a small step back and he pulled away.

"Why you little-"

"I believe she told you to shut the fuck up," Connor said, stepping in front of Evalynn with Michael to shield her.

"You want to get out of here, don't you? You don't know the way out."

"No? I'm sure we can manage."

"You know, I'm curious. What happens if you drink Mountain Dew Red?" Michael said casually, pulling another bottle out of his backpack.

The Creator's eyes widened and she backed up even further from the three teens.

"Y-you can't make me. I w-won't let you."

They advanced toward her, Michael and Connor grabbing onto her arms so she couldn't escape while Evalynn unscrewed the cap on the soft drink.

"Shall we see?"

The Creator shook her head as Evalynn brought the soda to her lips and forced the liquid down her throat. Immediately, her eyes glowed red and she went rigid.

"Welcome. How can I help you today?" she said, her voice robotic.

Michael and Connor laughed and Evalynn smirked slightly.

"We seem to have lost our way. Perhaps you could show us the way out?" Evalynn asked her.

"Certainly. Right this way."

They followed her through the halls and out the exit, snickering and talking the whole way. Outside, they left the Creator standing by the door.

"The bus stop is right down that way. Have a nice trip home!"

"Don't worry. We will," Michael laughed.

The three teens headed down the street to the bus stop, only having to wait a few minutes before getting on.

"We're going home," Connor said as they took their seats.

"We're going home," Evalynn echoed, leaning onto Connor's shoulder and closing her eyes.
