Finally, it was over. Amiya had faced countless hardships along the way, had watched many of his companions make the ultimate sacrifice, hoping that she would put an end to this madness... and yet, there she was. Alongside her stood Ch'en, still exhausted from the recent battle. It had been a long journey but, finally, they had reached the end. Talulah, or more exactly, Kashchey, laid in front of them, utterly defeated. It had been an uphill battle, yeah, but they had overcome her flames. However, both knew that there was still something they had to take care of:

"So you really think that, by getting me out of your sister's body, you'll stop Ursus?" the deep voice of the Snake enveloped the room, coming from Talulah's lips "What a fool you are, Hui-Chie..."

"Shut up, you liar snake!" Yelled Ch'en. She came closer to her sister "You don't want to see the truth, Kashchey. Talulah is not your puppet anymore, and you are fully aware of that. Get out of my sister's mind, NOW."

"Very well..." This time Kashchey sounded a little bit resigned "You win, but remember. There will be always another Chernobog and another Talulah... and even though I just lost, I'll be there, even" his voice started to get faltery "at... the edge of the world..."

And with that, The Black Snake gave up his hold over the draco woman. Talulah fell to the ground, unconscious. Her sister ran to her.

"Nee-san!" Ch'en managed to catch her before she hit the floor. Then, she laid her on the ground.

Amiya, who had been watching the entire ordeal, came closer and put her hand over her shoulder, giving a reassuring look:

"Don't worry, she'll be fine."

Ch'en was about to answer, but at that moment a certain sarkaz broke into the room.

"¡You, rabbit!¡Give me the damn key or else we're gonna die!"

Amiya turned to face this newcomer, when she saw her, she let out a sound of surprise.

"W?! Why are you here?" she realized what she wanted "Oh, the key... You' re my enemy, you killed some of my people, I can't trust you..."

"¡Damn, I know! I don't trust you either, but right now we don't have time for that! At this rate, the city core is going to blow up and kill everybody!" W extended her arms towards Amiya "If you wish so, go ahead and kill me, but that won't change anything! Please!"

After thinking about it for a while, the brunette gave her answer.

"Fine! Let's go to the reactor control panel!"

Without wasting a second, the duo ran towards the control panel on the other side of the room. Ch'en decided to follow them. When they arrived, Amiya pulled out a key from her pocket and threw it to the sarkaz's hands. She picked it up and put it in the console, but the system biped and displayed: ERROR. Not enough clereance.

W looked at her with a nervous look.

"Don't say me you only have this one... No, there must be an emergency one. Shit, we need to find it, and fast!" She looked towards Ch'en "Did the dragon lady have any key on her!? Please, tell me that mad woman didn't destroy it..."

"No, I looked and she didn't seem to have anything like that on her..."

"We're damned..." muttered W.

"Not so fast" Everyone turned around, only to see that Talulah, although barely staying upright, had finally woken up. W was the first to speak:

"I guess that you won't let us ruin your mad plan... Well, looks like it can't be helped then" Slowly, she reached for her grenades.

"Cut it, W" replied Talulah. She took a key from her dress. "Heard that you need it, right? Here you have" She threw it to W. She picked it up, then she shot at her a puzzled look.

"Huh? Just like that?" a small smile appeared on her face "I don't know what was wrong with you, but it's better than the previous one..."

"Quick, stick the goddam key!" Ch'en cried out.

Everyone held their breaths. W took slowly the key and stuck it. She turned, and... Access Granted.

/ /

Naturally, everyone was feeling relieved, after all they had prevented the city core from exploding. However, there was one who didn't share that feeling. Talulah stood there, her face reflecting a mix of guilt and shame. Ch'en was the first one to realize this. With a slow pace, she walked towards her, standing in front of her.

"Sister..." Ch'en said, but nothing. Talulah stayed silent. Suddenly, Ch'en grabbed by the chin and forced her to look at her.

"Look, I know that you feel responsible for all of those deaths. Nothing can change that, and that's a fact. But hear me this out..." then she proceeded to give the most emotional speech that both Amiya and W had ever heard.

"...and even if they aim for your weak spots, even if they put you on display to show you for everyone to mock, you must not fall. The past is the past, it won't return. I have a long way to go, yours is as long as mine. Indeed you have committed many sins, but you can redeem yourself. Talulah Artorious, you still have a long way to go..."

"Wow, that was cool" whispered W. Amiya just glared at her. However, their attention returned to the dragon sisters when Talulah took a step ahead. The guilt in her eyes had dissipated, now filled with happiness and gratitude. A smile appeared in her face.

"Sis, tell me. When did your claws get so sharp?" That was her answer. Ch'en could only smile.

"Looks like you dared to speak..." Without any notice, she hugged her tightly "No long see you, sister..."

"Yeah, no long see you..." muttered Talulah.

While all of this was taking place, a certain person was running through the empty corridors of the Chernobog Control Centre. "Shit, Why does this place have to look like a maze?... Ah, look! There it is!". When he entered the room, Amiya, who was watching the exchange between sisters, turned around and saw him.

"¡Dokutah!" she tried to run to him, but her legs could no longer withstand her weight and she fell. He ran to catch her.

"Shh... There's no need to force it, Amiya. I've come as soon as I could, you must be hurt..."

"Don't worry... I'm fine..."

"Look who's here... dear Doctor." He was met with the very angry face of W. "Still not remember me? No? Well, forget it. – She came menacingly close "Look, I would love to rip you apart here and now, but since your rabbit has helped me" she pointed at Amiya "I'll return her the favor by letting you live."

She walked towards de exit, but right before leaving she turned around an added:

"Remember this, next time I explode you." Then she left.

"Well, I didn't expect that..."

-I know, Dokutah..." Amiya said.

The doctor reached his hand to her and helped her to stand up

"You must rest. Let's go home, Amiya."

She slimed lightly "Of course..."

Amiya, leaning on the doctor for support, walked along him towards the exit. It was over, what else could happen?

/ /

That moment, just when they were walking to the exit, something happened. A very strong beep enveloped the control center. Amiya, was the first to see it. Right behind where Ch'en and Talulah were standing, a black dot appeared in the middle of the air.

The Cautus watched the tiny sphere dumbfounded, but soon her eyes widened when, right out of nowhere, it started to get bigger and bigger.

"WTF is that!?" jelled the Doctor.

Suddenly, Talulah started to get pulled by an invisible force towards the sphere.

"That thing is dragging me!" The force was so strong that she lost her foot, the pull of the sphere lifted her from the floor.

"Nee-chan!" Ch'en lunged herself after her sister, grabbing her arm "I won't let you disappear again! I don't want to lose you a second time!"

Even though she was strong, the pull of the black sphere got the better of her. Following her sister's way, she was also lifted from the ground.

"Miss Ch'en! Talulah!" Amiya ran towards them. She raised her hands and two dark beams of energy came out of them. The beams reached the helpless sisters taking them by their leg and preventing them from coming any closer to the sphere.

"Mphmm..." beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. This force was very strong, she could barely hold up. But then she heard a scream:

"¡SHIIT! IT'S PULLING ME AS WELL!" She watched in horror as the doctor was being dragged by the sphere, no matter how hard he tried to hold up to something.

"NOOO!" Making a last ditch effort, she created another beam and took him as well. However, it was too much for her. Her Arts dissipated and she collapsed onto the ground, only to be dragged as well.

"¡Here, take this!" Out of nowhere, W came running with a rope on her shoulder. She had left, but when she heard screams coming from the control room, she had a bad feeling and decided to come back. The sarkaz was greeted with a surreal scene. All of her companions were being dragged by an invisible force towards something that could be only described as "A big ass worm hole". Without skipping a baet, she trew the rope towards them.

"Damn, how the hell do I always end up like this?", she thought. The Doctor picked Amiya and grabbed the rope. Talulah and Ch'en did the same. It looked like everything was going well, until...

CRAAAK!

Suddenly, the ground below W gave away, making her lose balance and fall. That proved to be fatal, for the sphere started to pull her.

"¡FUCK!" The Sarkaz cursed, but to no avail.

When they finally made contact with the sphere, a bright flash blinded them. Their senses were obfuscated, no on felt or saw anything at all. But, then... ¡PUM! They hit the ground.
