Setting: An old abandoned theater. Present day.
KJ's eyes widened as Shix cackled again.
"Do you understand now, Chase?" He asked. "What you thought made you a more formidable person is really your only weakness!"
Chase clenched his hands into fists and glared at Shix.
"It's only a matter of time before she destroys you." Shix sneers. "She despises you...wants you dead."
"You're talking as if she's not standing right here." Chase snapped back.
This shocked KJ. It wasn't like Chase to stick up for her.
Shix laughed. "True as it may be, the both of you know that I'm right. Whereas it would be hard for her to kill me, I think she would find it quite easy to kill you."
"I would never kill him." KJ blurted out. "I might wish him dead, but I would never kill him."
Shix cackled. "We'll see about that."
Shix snapped his fingers, and jumped about 30 feet in the air and landed in the rafters of the theater.
Chase followed him, leaving KJ alone down below.
Up in the rafters above her, Shix and Chase began their fight.
Not quite knowing what to do, KJ carefully ran up a flight of stairs leading to a balcony, so she could get a better view of the fight.
"C'mon Chase." She told herself. "Remember the plan! You need to erase their memories of you!"
Clearly, thinking to herself did not get the message to Chase, because he continued to fight Shix.
The fight continued as something that KJ could only pretend to see.
However, she did see Shix strike Chase, sending him tumbling down from the rafters.
Shix jumped down to continue the fight as Chase got to his feet.
KJ started getting worried. This was turning into a fight to the death...and Chase was the one losing. What was she supposed to do?
After the fight had continued for awhile, Shix jumped back with a smirk.
"I'm sorry, how rude. KJ, you must be bored." He laughed, snapping his fingers.
The hypnotees came out of the shadows, and crept up behind KJ in the balcony.
She gasped and wheeled around as Shix continued his fight with Chase.
It was Kacie who made the first move-extending her left arm, and entwining the shadows around KJ's ankles.
Omi lept at her in a flying kick, which KJ caught, allowing her to throw him off of the balcony.
Both Kimiko and Raimundo attacked next, Kimiko with a side fist and Raimundo with a back knuckle.
KJ perried the side fist, allowing herself to easily duck to dodge the back knuckle. She rose in time to elbow Raimundo in the ribs, and knock Kimiko into him with a powerful heel of hand. They collided and both fell off the balcony as well.
A miniaturized Dojo flew at KJ, only to get grabbed by the tail and swung into Clay, who crashed into Master Fung, sending the three of them over the balcony.
Kacie, Amy and Carmen closed into Kj, who was still trapped by the shadows.
Amy threw a punch, which KJ ducked to avoid. Carmen's hand began to flame, and she barely clipped KJ's shoulder in a right hook.
Carmen swung again, and missed, her fire encased fist hitting Kacie square in the face.
She stumbled back, releasing KJ's ankles. She was able to then spinning heel hook Kacie, sending her over the edge as well.
Amy threw another punch, this one hitting KJ's stomach, making her double over in pain.
Carmen tried to knee the bent down KJ in the face, but she was stopped short as KJ grabbed her foot and flipped her over. She rose and thrust kicked Carmen over the balcony with the others.
Amy threw yet another punch, which KJ blocked and countered with a reverse punch to the solar plexus. She followed up with a knee to the stomach, and a side step, causing Amy to fall off.
Making the mistake of pausing for a breather, KJ was hit in the stomach with a small pipe, being controlled by Serena. After much dodging, she was able to grab the pipe, and propel herself forward, crashing into Serena with two thrust kicks.
Serena fell back, and KJ grabbed her hand, pulling her forward and off the balcony.
Shix, who managed to watch out of the corner of his eye, jumped back with a frown.
He snapped his fingers, and the hypnotees slowly got to their feet and stepped aside.
KJ was now able to return her attention to Chase's fight, right as Shix struck him in the head.
Chase sunk to his knees, but Shix continued fighting.
"This is to the death." He reminded the two. "I won't stop until he is dead."
He kicked Chase in the stomach, and was pushed away by a weak thrust kick.
As Chase slowly regained his once proud posture, he felt something small drop from above and onto his head.
He looked up to see KJ in the balcony with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Don't forget the spell!" She yelled down to him inbetweeen tears.
Shix raised an eyebrow.
"Spell...? Interesting... What spell?" He asked.
KJ kept her mouth shut as Shix smirked.
"I should've done this first." He informed them, snapping his fingers.
KJ seemed to struggle with herself for amoment, before breaking the railing on the balcony by crashing through it.
She landed on the hard ground beneath them, and slowly sat up.
"She's fighting the hypnotism." Chase told himself, horrified at the mere thought.
"Ch-Chase..." She managed to say in a strained voice. As she was forced to give into the hypnotism, KJ was able to say what she needed to.
"Chase! I...I love you..." She blurted out. With one final pained gasp, her eyes turned a milky white, and she got to her feet as the other hypnotees walked up to join her.
A wave of dread crashed through Chase's mind. He was now completely alone, for if he survived the fight, he would have to erase KJ's memory of himself as well.
