Chapter 4

The arena for Marcy looked like it was some kind of factory, with pistons pumping on the walls and the floor being made of metal grating. And when we looked up, we saw that Marcy was currently being mind-controlled in the air by the Demons of Vanity.

"Marcy! Wake up before it's too late!" Spinelli shouted, but she was already lost in the trance.

"~Come, little Marcy, lover of machines!

Your body will be metal and with a heart of silver sheen!

Your little sisters come to take you away...

Annhilate them, and forever you'll stay!~" the demons sung as Marcy had begun to be enveloped in light!

"NO! I won't let you do this!" Cindy shouted as she sent a flurry of flames at the light, but it was too late. Marcy had turned into a giant robot, one that was being manned by a little lizard at the top, which I could immediately tell was the demon that was in her!

"Heeheehaa! You're too late! Marcy is mine to control now!" the demon cackled as it then forced Marcy to shoot some missiles out of her arms. And then our sister turned robot began to speak with beeps and boops, which made Spinelli gasp after I'd grabbed the missiles with Scarfy and he flicked them back at her to deal some damage.

"She's speaking in Morse Code! And she said to aim at the demon at the top!" Spinelli said.

"How? He's so high up!" Cindy exclaimed as I then looked at the legs. Scarfy then saw an opportunity as the robot looked to be charging an attack, which I then had him stretch the bulky knees, which caused Marcy's robotic body to fall on her back and for the demon on the back to be a bit dazed!

"TAKE THIS!" Scarfy shouted as he then latched onto the demon and started to stretch him thrice over, with Spinelli and Cindy assisting with super-fast punches and fire! And after we were done, the demon was removed from Marcy and she then turned back to normal, her still being on her back and looking like she were in pain.

"Augh... that was... too much... domo arigoto..." she groaned before the demon then tried to attack, being blocked again. "If that's how the robots feel like in Battlebots... I quit," she groaned as the demon then tried one more time, only to evaporate in the process.

"Marcy, are you okay?" I asked as I helped her off the ground, and she proceeded to wince. It was then that I saw that her arms and legs were swelling and that she winced with every place I touched her at.

"No... I'm in a lot of pain..." she groaned at me. "It's because of him forcing my body against my will... I tried to resist, but that put strain on me... I need to rest for a bit... just get me the hell out of this place..." she groaned as we then proceeded to carefully carry her to the door and we went back to the entryway. "Thanks... could one of you stay here?... I don't want to be targeted by those nasty demons again..." she groaned.

"Of course, one of us can. You can't really fight in this state, after all," Cindy said with concern. I smiled at how Marcy then moved her very full bangs from her eyes so she could look at me, me seeing that her green eyes were tearing up. And for those wondering, she was 16 years old and was of an average build, meaning she was directly in between the thinness of Spinelli and the thickness of Jill. She also had some grease on her clothes and she smelled like oil, but that was because of her being a robot for a few moments.

"Linda... I'm sorry for being so nasty to you... I could hear you rescuing Cindy and Spinelli from their fates... I promise I'll do anything you want, no matter what it may be," she smiled at me.

"Two things. One, be nicer to me and everyone. And two, get rid of your addiction to the pizza gum," I said, her sighing at that.

"I can do that... it'll be hard, but I will... just let me rest for a bit... I need to catch my second wind after that... I never knew that robots felt pain... now I feel very bad for Little Nipper..." she groaned, me smiling at that. That was the name of her Battlebot that she used in school. He was known for having the most destructive loss, being torn to pieces by the grand champion in the finals. She still won a lot of money for getting to second place, but I could understand why she felt she didn't want to do Battlebots anymore. But I had to say something to her.

"You don't have to give up Battlebots, Marcy. You can always be a member of a pit crew instead of the bot owner," I said, her smiling at that.

"Thanks, Linda..." she smiled halfheartedly as she held my hand, me seeing it was hurting her. "Now go be a hero," she smirked before she closed her eyes and started to sleep.

"I'll stay behind to watch her. Linda, you and Spinelli go get Serenity back. I bet you anything that we can open more doors when she gets rescued," Cindy said with seriousness.

"Right, thanks, Cindy. Don't get caught again," I said as we then went to the door and I looked at Spinelli and Scarfy with seriousness.

"So, what do you think Serenity will be like?" I asked.

"Most likely something revolving around singing. Be prepared for anything," Scarfy said.

"Right," Spinelli said as I then opened the door and we went through.
