"Babe? Is that you?"
Despite the voice coming from behind a space helmet, she couldn't miss the only person who ever addressed her that way.
"Zyma? Is this real?"
It took him a moment to respond.
"I don't know. How did you get here?"
She wasn't sure where to begin. She had lost him since the time portal battle. The events that happened during that battle had been erased from her memory, and she was uncertain of his fate.
"It's been a long time since we parted. What do you remember?" she asked.
Her words seemed to startle him. He raised his Shurikens and began to move, assessing their surroundings, seemingly prepared to fight.
"Z... Tell me, how did you get here?" she began to move with him.
"Where is our daughter?"
Her question struck a painful memory.
"I lost her. You were there. Don't you remember?"
"No!" he immediately shouted back.
"Z… What's going on? Tell me…"
"This isn't real. Prepare to die!"
He yelled, then threw a Shuriken at her. She dodged, and lost hope. This wasn't him. He would never hurt her. She convinced herself that he was just another illusion by Hyne.
Ironically, I'm weak against Holy... she remembered his words before they parted at the Fire Cavern.
"Zombie!"
She had grown much stronger. She wouldn't hide away and dodge his attacks as she used to. She knew his weaknesses. With her Red Scorpion whipping continuously to keep him at bay, she released her unlimited stock of light magic.
"Holy!"
He was startled by her attack and summoned more flying weapons and threw them at her. But she dodged them easily with her whip and even returned some with Telekinesis.
After a few more Holy spells, she knew even the most bulky beast wouldn't have any HP left. He looked defeated, then glanced at her on his knees.
"You can't be her. You're too strong and merciless. Our game ends here."
He mumbled. Then he stood up with an aura of dark green color around him.
"Hell's Dance!"
