Hello one and all of fanfiction, I bring you the continuation of To Hell and Back. Don't ask, I am disorganized. Anyway hope you guys like the new part. PLEASE! Review! Part of my fuel to keep going is your support and feedback, and like it isn't bad enough that I was starting to lose motivation after Cain's intro. So please, review. I cannot get better as a writer if I don't see what I am doing right, and what I am doing wrong. Anyway.

Disclaimer: I don't own binding of Isaac, or any of its characters.


Maggy approached the door to her new room, and opened the door slowly, taking in the details the room, after a moment she realized was actually really small: there was enough room for two beds to the left and right of the door, the frames of the beds parallel to the frame of the door. What she saw next filled her with awe. The wall in front of her held a large flat screen tv. Below it was a glass case with every type of console imaginable and a small touchscreen. She observed it closer, it had a search bar. Running up to the touchscreen. Excitedly, she typed in the name of her favorite artist into the search bar and the one result she was looking for came up, she smiled widely knowing she would be able to listen to her favorite artist's music nonstop "yes!" she screamed to no-one in particular, "24 hours of synthesized HEAVEN!"

for the next half hour or so, she gawked at all of the wonderful tech she had at her disposal, until a distant young voice sounded from nowhere, and everywhere "hey Patricia, is this thing on." After a second a frustrated grunt was heard followed by "gimmie that, idiot…" a young female voice sounded. The young voice cleared her throat politely before yelling "FOOOOOOOOD!" as loud as she possibly could in a barbaric tone, the white noise from the speaker system cut with a click, and as soon as the mansion-wide intercom went blank, the entire floor started to shake as all of the building's occupants stampeded towards the cafeteria. Maggy went to open the door slowly, and she saw the last few people rushing by. "Wow… food must be good here." She stated quietly as she left her room, and headed over to the cafeteria, when she reached the open doors of the cafeteria she was astonished the place was louder than a stadium, and bits and pieces of food were flying everywhere. Slowly she entered, carefully watching the long table to make sure no food would fly toward her. Once she made her way over to the opening in the wall that leads into the kitchen, she was approached by the woman in the pink dress she had seen earlier "hello you must be the newcomer, what is your name?" the woman had asked, Maggy replied politely "my name is Maggy, and what is yours?" the woman was quick to respond "April. There is a seat for you at the end of the table," Maggy nodded politely and went over to her seat at the end of the long table thankfully away from all of the flying food, when she sat down there was a plate full of spaghetti, with a cutlet of chicken on top and marinara everywhere.

Luke sat in the mix of people, food flying over his head in some cases, requiem sat next to him. Eating his plate of spaghetti, when Luke spoke "Maggy looks awfully lonely over there, I'm going to send someone over there," requiem nodded, and kept eating. Luke looked around for someone who was open, and friendly. Maybe someone else who had felt like this when they first started. He set his eyes on a girl, who had gone through the exact same thing, someone who had been through the exact same thing Maggy had. "perfect." Luke whispered to himself. He closed his eyes and concentrated, the girl he was staring at looked around in confusion, as if she heard something, Grace, Grace, can you hear me. Luke thought, the girl looked at him, knowing the voice that entered her head. The two had learned to talk like this long ago when they shared information. Luke! What is it? Grace inquired. Luke stared at Maggy while keeping the mental channel open, and sent his thoughts over to her mind, after all of his thoughts were transferred he thought the words, sound familiar? Grace looked to Maggy and nodded I understand. The words formed in her mind, then she got up from her seat.

Maggy had finished her dinner and was about to get up and leave, when she saw someone get up from their seat and walk over, this was someone she had not seen yet: she had a cream colored shirt, and just like Luke, had the same blue undershirt and shorts, but her hair was deep blue, and her eyes were pink and she had a long pink scarf that wrapped around her neck and hung off the back of her left shoulder, she took a seat near but not next to Maggy and introduced herself gently "hello." Maggy looked on slightly nervous, Grace continued, "I just came over to talk, that is all. You looked alone here by yourself." Luke walked over and sat down next to grace finishing her sentence "so we thought we would come over." Maggy felt inclined to make the first question "so… what exactly is this place?" Grace and Luke looked at each other for a minute, affirming they give her the 'mask' Luke started with "this is a place where gifted people go," Maggy tilted her head, "I get it," Luke continued "but, just for a second think of something that makes you wonder." Maggy thought about a mystery in her favorite video game, Luke puffed up his cheeks then let it out as softly, as he could, breaking into laughter, he read he mind and stated "seriously? You think he says 'pizza' every time he does that? Really?!" he stated before laughing, grace defended Maggy "hey! I thought the same thing, When I played as him." A buff man with a red headband and spiky blue hair commented from down the table "I didn't even know what pizza was before I came here, I DO NOT SAY PIZZA!" Maggy just stared wide-eyed at Luke as he read her mind, "Go ahead ask me what is special about us." Maggy thought about the group, she saw earlier before quizzing hesitantly "mc. Coy?" Luke deadpanned, as this was the one question he did not want to answer, "he is a pyro, he loves anything that even looks like an explosion, he has the ability to amplify and tinker with their power. He can throw a single grenade into a building, and make it crash to the ground." Maggy let the words sink in a little, before responding "wow." She continued to ask a few questions, until she felt something, a tinge of sadness and depression, she looked around. "I feel it too," Luke stated in a serious tone, Maggy felt a twinge and turned in the direction it came from, she saw nothing, but a bunch of people eating but as she looked closer, she saw the black hood, and immediately knew who it was, she stated the question not knowing if she wanted the answer, "what about… him?" she pointed to requiem, "requiem…" Luke stated trying to refresh his memory "we… don't know much about him, but we do know… he, is one of the most powerful beings in this mansion, even the way he even came here was kind of a mystery." He paused "here I'll show you." He said then closed his eyes,

It was stormy, a hurricane blew through the day before and thunderstorms were still ravaging the area, Luke, lay in his bed watching the storm, thunder rumbled every now and then and a small flash here and there, but the odd thing was, nothing was happening around the mansion very mild breeze and not a single drop of water. He got out of bed and sat by the windowsill, watching the distant storms. Then, something caught my eye. He saw a glint and looked to the clouds. About a mile away from the mansion the clouds started to glow ever so slightly, in a vibrant green. The green glow grew stronger with each passing minute, and then more details caught his eye small green orbs and small bolts of electricity arced through the clouds toward the green glow, increasing its intensity. The clouds at the center of the glow started spinning and Luke watched in awe, I had never seen such odd events before so I observed very closely, and I am glad I did. The clouds split high in the sky creating an opening, all of the arcing electricity and green orbs stopped, and the glow was now making a meadow clearly visible in the dead of night. Then a mild thunder brought Luke's attention to the opening, the glow was getting brighter with each passing second, until finally a green ring of energy erupted from the clouds illuminating the world as if it were day. I and anybody else who was watching might've thought this was the end of our world. An enormous green fireball plummeted towards the ground, trailed by thick bolts of green lightning. The moment it hit the ground, the ground shook, and a shock wave rattled the mansion waking all of its occupants, hundreds upon hundreds of shards of green energy flew in all different directions, although nothing else in the meadow or anywhere was actually catching on fire, accept for the large crater the explosion created. Since I had not been killed by the shockwave, curiosity decided I would have a look. Luke opened the second story window and jumped into a tree at the edge of the forest, he then slowly made his way down the tree. Once he reached the ground, he sprinted towards the meadow, wondering what awaited him. It was an unsettling environment, it was even creepier because thoughts were appearing in my head out of nowhere, questions like "where am I?" and "who am I?" I tried to push the thoughts from my and continued. Luke then came to the meadow, he walked through the meadow towards the flaming crater, the thoughts had ceased to surge through his head, and he breathed a sigh of relief but remained cautious. He was now only a few feet from the crater when he realized the fire gave off no heat, he reluctantly put a finger into the fire expecting to be burnt, but was surprised that it gave off nothing, just light. He was about to leave when he saw movement at the bottom, a small figure seemed to be sleeping in the crater. How he survived is beyond me. The impact would have killed any normal person instantly, then again he is not normal. But I knew one thing, the kind hearted me would not allow anybody to remain injured, he did have a few cuts and bruises, and surely someone or something would come around sooner or later. Luke picked up the body as gently as he could and rushed back to the mansion.

The transferred thoughts ended and Maggy was able to see everything again. She was in awe of what she just saw, and it had shown on her face, "he had no major injuries so he stayed here to recover, ever since then we have become friends." Luke sighed remembering all of the good times he had in the last months, suddenly the downcast aura emitted from requiem again, Maggy grimaces at the sadness she was feeling. She was a lot of things. She was shy at times, she was a good prankster, and she was the most kindhearted person anyone could ask for, so her personality told her she could not let him be this sad. She got up and walked over to requiem, and sat down next to him, she whispered his name "requiem?" he looked up slowly and turned to her with a faint smile, "oh, hi Maggy, what's up?" she crossed her arms and wittily replied "what's up? More like who's down." Requiem chuckled, "ok you got me there." Maggy continued on a more serious note, "so what's wrong?" requiem looked mildly downcast, "it's not much really." And stated more quietly "at least it is nothing you would understand." Maggy was quick to respond "what wouldn't I understand?" Requiem looked even more depressed trying to answer these questions. "I miss my family, I am not from here and I don't know how to get back," Maggy brought something out of her pocket, her most prized possession, a small heart plushy that smelled like candy and was softer that a cloud "here hold this," she stated quietly, requiem held out his hand, "I… remember, this." He stated wistfully with a smile of sadness on his face, once he took the plushy in his hand his depression was immediately lifted, and he decided to relieve everyone's burdens, too. He channeled what happy memories he could through his arms in the form of mild green wisps. when the wisps made contact with the plush, a light wave of pink wind filled the room full of warm summer air and the smell of lilac, requiem breathed in deeply and then said "thank you." He gave the plushy back, Maggy needed to reinforce the positive feelings more "whatever you are looking for, I am sure you will find it within yourself." Maggy stated kindly and pat him on the back before leaving. "Find it within yourself…" requiem repeated, and went off to think.


Now I know this is a boring chapter, but I am leading it into where Maggy lands in the dungeon. As I said before I need feedback from you guys, do you want me to continue, anything like that, questions about the story, tell me. Anyway,
