Down in an underground passageway, me and Fiona were running down some stairs finding where Shrek and the others were being held captive.

"Do you exactly know where Shrek and the others are, Fiona?" I asked.

"Yeah. They should be just down this hallway," Fiona said as we continued to run down the hallway we were now in and ran down a few flights of stairs where we found a cell dungeon with Shrek and the gang in cells.

When everyone saw me, their expressions changed form sad and bleak, to happy and hopeful. Everyone was excited to see me again except for Snow White who didn't respond to my return.

"Leah! You're back! I thought you left us for good with Carley!" The ogre triplet without hair said.

"And leave you buys without my random thoughts to entertain you? I don't think so," I told him.

"Where's Carley?" Lillian asked.

"She's at the castle fighting off a lot of Prince Charming's guards. But don't worry. She'll be fine," I reassured everyone.

"That's what you said about the kingdom after you and Carely left. And look how it is now?" Snow White remarked as my smile slowly went away.

"Listen, Snow, I didn't know this would happen," I said.

"You're right. You didn't know that the kingdom was going to be taken over by a leotard-wearing Mama's Boy, and his girlfriend, the Bald Traitor. And what makes you say everything will be alright since it's not, huh? Answer me that," Snow White said as everyone went quiet, I walked up to the ogre triplets' cell, and opened it with the key I stole from one of the guards.

"……I don't have an answer to that matter. And I don't think I will because, to tell you the truth, I thought that you guys could handle everything," I simply put it, freeing the princesses, Lillian, the ogre triplets, Shrek, and Artie out of their cells, "I thought, since you guys fought against Prince Charming and Repunzel before, you guys could handle it without me and Carley there to help. But I guess I was wrong about that, too."

"What?" Snow White said as I put my hands behind my head.

"What I'm just saying is the truth. I mean, it's not like you guys are weak or anything. I was just surprised to see everything like this because I thought-" My sentence was cut short by Snow White punching me in the face.

"You don't have anything to say about what we went through for two years! It was hell! We've been down in these cells since Charming took over the kingdom that day. We tried to fight them off, but he outnumbered us!" She told me as blood ran down my nose and mouth, "And where were you to help us then, Leah, huh? Nowhere in sight! You don't know how hard it was for us to get by day after day wondering if we were gonna die today, tomorrow, or a week from now. You don't know what it's like to be treated like no one wants you around. Wishing that you were dead instead of being in this cold dank hell!"

I didn't respond, knowing myself how it was to be in an area. Not knowing if I was going to get out of it as I walked up the stairs, giving Fiona the keys to free Dragon, her husband, Donkey, and their baby dronkeys.

"Where are you going?" Artie asked me.

"….To kick a person's ass." That's all I told him before walking up the stairs, leaving the Shrek and the others behind.

As I ran upstairs, I was almost to the top until someone said, "Where do you think you're going?" That made me turn around and see Repunzel behind me with her hands on her hips.

"Oh, it's you," I said, "What do you want, Repunzel? I gotta find Prince Charming and kick his ass."

"Oh, like a weakling like you could ever do that to my pookie," Repunzel scoffed.

I lightly smiled and prepared myself for an upcoming fight. "If you don't believe me, then fight me to find out for yourself."

"Heh. It would be my pleasure."

Back on the surface, Prince Charming and were still fighting. Swiftly moving from on place to another until the both of them stopped and breathed heavily.

"Well, it seems you mastered a very rare skill for you to keep up with me like this," Prince Charming said.

"Yes. But I don't think you should rest just yet. I'm just warming up!" Carley told him as she vanished in thin air right when she was about to attack.

'Where'd she go?' Charming thought looking around to find Carley who reappeared and kicked him in the back of his neck that sent him tumbling a few feet away from her, "How did…?" But before he could say anything, Carley disappeared then reappeared in front of him, cutting his chest open with blood coming out of the wound as he held his chest in agony.

During his moment of pain, Carley was in front of Prince Charming, holding her blade against her throat.

"You're good, I can tell you that much," Charming told her who didn't say anything except stand there with her sword still touching his throat, "What are you waiting for? You have me cornered. Aren't you going to kill me? That is what you wanted to do to me, right?"

In an action of silence, Carley removed the katana from Prince Charming's throat. "No. I'm not like that. Even if I wanted to, I learned that people deserve second chances," She says, placing her sword back into her symbol cane holster and began walking away from Charming.

"Huh. That's too bad you didn't kill me," He said as his blade began to glow red and charged at Carley about to strike her until she moved a few inches to the left, making him miss with his sword stuck in the ground.

As he attempts to pull it out, he could see that Carley's head was lowered who saw her eyes change from their normal shade of blue to red with slanted pupils.

"You know, Charming, you can really be a pain if someone's showing you mercy," She said as she kicks him sternly in the face, sending him tumbling across the graveled floor, "If Leah was here, she wouldn't show you any mercy. Not after what you've done to this kingdom."

Prince Charming smirks, spitting blood out of his mouth. "Do you really think I care if you or that dunce idiot friend of yours shows me any mercy? I can take you both on if Leah was her with you." Carley walks up to him, cracking her knuckles.

"Then, I hope you like being dragged into the ground."
