Afterwards, the collars and leashes were snapped back on to Lalia and Anarchy. Hiyoko pulled them along, making sure that the two didn't escape. While neither had a reason to struggle, it was a precaution Hiyoko was willing to take. She couldn't let the two escape anytime soon. They would make excellent subjects for her master. But, that plan would have to wait. For now, she would have to put that plan on the back burner for now. The foursome made their way down the hallway, cautious of anyone sneaking up on them.

"So who is your master, Hiyoko?" Lalia questioned as Hiyoko looked at her.

"It does not matter." Hiyoko answered as they continued on. "You'll find out later."

"That doesn't answer my question." The SHSL bunnygirl looked at the former light dancer, possibly attempting to decipher her reasoning.

"That's the point." Cutemon hummed to some song coming through her "headphones". "It's supposed to be a surprise for both you and the reader."

"That doesn't sound fair." Lalia stopped and attempted to turn around.

"You're right. But that is how things go around here.." Hiyoko responded with a rough tug on the leash and pulled her back in."So, do as I say and I might allow you off leash."

Lalia whispered something under her breath as the hallway turned. The hallway then opened up, revealing a large white room, probably used for large parties. Strewn about the room, were an assortment of white folding tables in various positions along with a few chairs stuck in the walls.

Hanging by a few of the chairs, was a corpse. It was the typical sight, lots of gooey pink food dye and a few potential broken bones in spots where broken bones can kill a person.

"Do you have to point out the obvious?" Lalia announced as she stared at the corpse. Something seemed familiar about it, as if she had seen it before. As she examined the body, a bright flash overcame her.


Tanaka opened his eyes. He had somehow returned to normal, along with Anarchy.

"Awesome, you're up!" The bunnygirl was still around, dressed in the same outfit.

"Are you kidding me?" The SHSL animal breeder responded as he pushed his alternate self into a convenient closet. "That should fix things."

"Are you sure that is a good idea?" Anarchy added as the four gods of destruction appeared on Tanaka's shoulders.

"Of course." The god of all things nasty and evil announced as the hamsters nodded.

"Somebody, help me! I'm trapped in here!" The front door opened, revealing Junko and Veemon.

"Is this the usual weirdness or the wtf weirdness?" The tamer questioned as the animal breeder took a deep breath."Or does this fall into a third category, hard to define weirdness?"

"Possibly." Anarchy answered as they watched the tamer and her dragon thing."After everything that has happened, I just want a little clarity."

"And yet you're named Anarchy." Veemon remarked, causing a dark red orb to shoot towards him.

"So what should we do with "Lalia"?" Tanaka explained as Junko headed towards the closet.

"And that's the person who was shouting from my closet, correct?" Junko accused and Tanaka nodded. Junko walked over to her closet, pulling it open. Inside, the bunnygirl sat there, cowering in fear.

"Thank you." The girl whimpered as Junko held her hand out. The girl grabbed on and pulled herself up. Afterwards, she walked over to Tanaka, quite pissed off at him. "Now we need to solve the problem."

"What problem?" Junko questioned and Lalia laughed.

"The fact that there's one too many of us." Lalia answered as her gaze focused on Tanaka.

"That still doesn't make sense!"

"Deal with it." Lalia laughed and pushed Junko onto the floor. Junko immediately went for her knife, using the blade to knock her opponent back. The tamer got back up and ran towards her opponent,, swinging knife into her knee. The knife connected, knocking the bunnygirl back down.

"Tanaka." Junko passed the knife over to the boy, who reluctantly grabbed it. He walked over to his alternate self, plunging the knife through.

"It's over now." The breeder whispered as Lalia's corpse shattered into dust.

"Are you sure?" Tanaka looked to his right, noticing a small purple orb floating beside him.

"Can you just leave me alone?" The orb shook a little, possibly laughing at it's "companion".

"Nope." The orb did a rotation around Tanaka's head and returned to her original position. The trio then headed back to their room, leaving Junko and Veemon behind.

"Well, that's finally over with." Junko remarked as her electroID went off.

"Kind of anti-climatic." Veemon added as Junko looked her new message over.
