Bue had woken up in a panic. She was frantically looking around until she finally realized where she was….in the darkness. Bue looked behind her struggling to turn around because she had been chained to her chair. Mal was sleeping in his chair, the chairs were back-to-back and chained together so neither of the two could move and there was one light source above. They seemed to be in some sort of room but it was like it didn't exist. The ground were big red tiles, that seemed normal enough but what really made bue feel uneasy was that it looked like all walls were non-existent it was like there was color and yet none at all. The walls looked like they were a visible purple-ish haze just flowing around the (assumibely) room. Bue was frightened and sweating, she tried to wake up mal by kicking his seat. "MAL! MAL! PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEAAAASSE WAKE UP!" Mal started to open his eyes then they both heard laughter and mal fully woke up as he was frantically looking around, trying to find where the voice came from, as was bue. Then D came out of the shadows with a very intimidating look on his face. Bue got frustrated again as her aura came back, D noticed and snickered, "your temper is your weak point...you are aware of this, yes?" She spit on his face and then tried to focus on making the chains disappear, she nudged mal to join her. D chuckled as he wiped the spit off his face and he focused on the chains as well. Bue heard his thoughts and grew more angry, hoping it would give her more strength to break the chains. When D focused on the chains they got tighter and then electrocuted the two, making them scream in pain. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US?!" Mal yelled breathing heavily. "'What do I want' you say? I'd just like a few helper's. You know, like sidekicks." "DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME A SIDEKICK OR I'LL-" "you'll what, you can't do much tied to those chairs, 'ya know." Bue and mal growled in sync again. D walked over to mal, lifted his chin and got right up in his face, making mal shake but covered it with anger. "'ya know, I've gained many new powers just from simply watching you two. Bue you rely on and gain strength, but it's only caused by your short temper, mal, you have more self control than any of us, you've snapped yourself out of my spells...multiple times and it's quite impressive really. In a way you two are like Yin and Yang, you balance each other out perfectly. But! there is ONE thing that you two have most in common…...your HATRED! Seeing you both so angry just makes me so happy and delighted...I wanna see you like that all the time.." D said as he was about to put his hand onto mal's face, bue used all her strength to turn over the chair. It didn't help that they're now on their side, on the ground, bue tried to free her hand and use it to help them scoot away. She managed to get her hand out and reached as far as she could to pull them away from D. He chuckled at how feeble their attempt was as he stepped on bue's foot making her yelp in agony. D bent down so they were face to face, he whispered something in her ear while she struggled to just get as far away from the tyrant as possible but what he had said just made her pause completely as her blood ran cold and a chill ran down her restrained spine he put his hand on her face while she was shaking it violently trying to keep his hand away. It was futile and bue was now out cold. D was now walking up to a woozy mal, his hand had come so close to his face that it already took it's toll as D finished the job and now the two were fully unconscious making D laugh. "I'm gonna kill 'em...and you're gonna help me….bue. heh."

The rest of the personalities were still desperately banging at the forcefield until it seemed like something had hit mike. He heard cackling and it rang through his ears as loud as possible. He fell to his knees holding his ears in pain as the sound got louder and louder, manitoba spotted mike in pain and bent down to ask what's wrong. "'WHAT'S WRONG?!IT'S THAT SCREECHING LAUGHTER, CAN'T YOU HEAR IT?! IT'S BANGING THROUGH MY EARS AND IT WON'T STOP!" "All I can hear is you yelling mike!" All the personalities stopped their banging and yelling and went to mike wondering what was wrong. "Aye yo, what's goin' on with mike?" Vito asked, svetlana went to comfort him but when she laid her hand on his back to rub it he shoved her away and she fell into a mud puddle with a horrified look on her face. Vito looked angry but manitoba stopped him from pouncing onto mike. "Vito, it's D, he's controlling him. This isn't mike that's doing this." Just then, manitoba and vito saw some sort of light shoot through the field and hit mike hard, his eyes went blank and he was about to fall until...two hands came into the forcefield and grabbed mike. D was trying to steal him away from the only people who were actually able to protect him. Mike was starting to get pulled out of the barrier when manitoba, vito, and svetlana all grabbed him and tried to yank him back in. Instead of tuggawar, it was rather short before mike disappeared along with the arms. Everyone sat down in defeat as manitoba finally realized why mal needed all of them. It wasn't to help him fight D...it was for US to protect mike... I guess mal knew something like this would happen so he brought mike here...just so he could see him...one last time. But he knew the dangers and so, THAT'S why he told us to come here…: "It's me, mal...listen I need your hel- "MAL?! HOW DID YOU GET IN MY HEAD...AND GET OUT!". My god you're stupid, anyway just listen to me for a second...I need your help, URGENTLY! "What for?" Just…, I need you to free svetlana and vito. "Why only them?" Because...THERE'S NO TIME I JUST NEED YOU TO DO THIS FOR ME! "Why should I?" Because if you don't...look down at your chest, don't bother looking for where I am...JUST GET THEM!...there...the door's open now. HURRY!"

Manitoba smiled at this now knowing mal's intentions were actually GOOD, "so, the little dictator really DOES have a heart after all...heh….guess I misjudged him...sorry mate." He giggled a little sadly with some guilt in his voice. He laid down on the mud, not caring wether he got dirty or not and tipped his hat over his face to sleep. The others looked down at him in shock, "MANITOBA...VAT ARE YOU DOINK?!" Svetlana yelled, vito stopped his banging and looked down also with a confused face. "Guys...listen, this barrier may or may not last forever but as long as it's up...we can't get out...unless D permits us. If a seeing mirror popped up, it would only be for a ride back home, and that wouldn't help us ONE BIT...NOW WOULD IT?! SO QUIT YOU'RE BANGING AND LET'S GET SOME REST!" Manitoba ordered, the others were just in complete silence and took one last glimpse of the outside before obliging manitoba's command. Though they WERE kinda shocked at how quickly he lost his temper, he's usually one of the coolest personalities. They went to sleep and tried to think of some sort of plan for tomorrow.

Mike had woken up on the floor of some strange room. He heard chuckling coming from nearby as two figures walked out of the pitch blackness, it was revealed to be bue and mal...but their heads were down but mike still felt relieved, seeing his two friends. He ran up to hug mal but instead...he got shoved back onto the ground. When he looked up, at first he was just confused as he got up again then mal and bue at the same time lifted their heads up fast making mike step back a little. Then...he saw their faces...mike was absolutely terrified as he started back again...their eyes were dark, fearsome, crimson red. They had the dark circles as well as the sharp teeth and had a sick, menacing grin on their faces. Mike kept walking back until...he tripped and fell into someone's arms. He looked up and saw D, mike jumped back in fear. Though, he landed right by mal as he kicked him in the stomach making him fall on his butt. D walked up to bue and kissed her hand then started to lead her toward mike. Mike was shivering as D looked down on him, then he looked to mal with his crimson eyes meeting his as he asked mal a rather important question; "Hey mal...what do you think we oughta do with him, I was thinking of killing him but my second idea is a little 'converting'". Mal blew his hair out of his face with a bored look and arms crossed as he tried contemplating what to do. "I say the 'converting'." D sighed, knowing he'd go with anything but murder, it seemed that even with the hypnosis he still cares for mike...even if it's just a little. Mike was shaking in his ball with his head down. D was walking up to mike slowly, mike lifted his head up and saw mal whose face was beginning to change as mike gazed at mal with sad eyes and D's hand was now right above his face and inching closer. Mal had the look of pity and regret as mike's vision began to fade, at the last moment before D had finally engulfed his face and mike was about to fall asleep, he saw mal running up to charge D and successfully tackled him before mike could be put under his spell. D pushed him off, "BUE, NOW!" Bue rushed over to grab mal and restrain him for further hypnosis. Mike's whole body was numb and his vision was incredibly hazy but he was still able to make out some of the figures. Mal was struggling for freedom as D came up to him, it was when he looked at your eyes that you would fully change, mal kept his eyes tightly shut. "Fine then...if you won't obey me then I'm sure HE will!" "NO!...I'll… b-behave….I-I swear…." Mal opened his eyes again but still looked at D very coldly. As D came back up to him and this time gazed for a much longer time, getting the spell imprinted on his brain. Though mal tried to struggle...he just couldn't close his eyes until he eventually calmed down and his eyes turned crimson once more and ALL of his good memories of mike had now been erased. "M-m-ma-ma-MAL!NOOOOOO!" Mike yelled, starting to gain more control over his body. After bue let go of mal, mal came over to mike who was scared and sobbing. "Do it….PROVE I can trust you!" D told him, mal bent down and slowly raised his hand and mike started to shake it away, he tried to run but couldn't then mal put his hand onto mike's face and he was unconscious. The last thing he heard was mal's laughter and saw his glowing red eyes.

~On mikes side~

Chester was still held by the restraints and was sleeping until a mirror showed up in front of him, startling him. "WEHEYEH!" Chester shrieked. He calmed down until he saw a person in the reflection, it looked like mal which made him yelp again. "Chester...it's not m-" "MAL!" Chester accused. "Wait a minute 'ya little….YOU'RE NOT MAL!" "Are 'ya do-" "YOU'RE THAT BUE GIRL, AREN'T 'YA?!" The BOY slapped his forehead and dragged it down his face slowly. Then a thought crossed his head and he raised an eyebrow, "hold on….HOW do you know about bue?" Chester whistled without making eye contact but he accidently looked at something that grabbed the boy's attention. "What's that 'ya old fool?!" He focused and brought the object down and it was a mirror, he turned it around to see...a signature...it was an M on the back. "MAL!" His eyes turned red, scaring chester, it was D. "THAT LITTLE! I'LL GET HIM NO MATTER WHAT!" D screamed, he broke the mirror on his knee and ran off, as the mirror disappeared. "WAIT!...aw boy….what am I gonna do now?...oy." Chester sighed.
