'I wanna go home...I wanna go home...I ...wonder if Cali found the others? I hope they're all ok.'
"Whacha thinkin about, sis?"
"Get the hell away from me Lex."
Lex plops next to Koopa with a smile on his face. "You don't want to talk to me?"
Koopa rolled her eyes. "Unless you're tellin me where we are and what you did? No, I don't wanna talk."
"Oh come on. You haven't figured it out?"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Elsewhere, Tina and the others were heading home after hours of useless questioning.
When they got back to the house, though, it was surrounded by dead bodies of Lex's minions. They rushed up to the house only to be greeted by a very cheery Zapook.
Zapook explained to them that Koopa gave her a call to protect Kisa, thus the dead creatures outside.
"Sorry for not cleaning up. Didn't get around to it."
Tina nodded, "That is ok." She looked around and ask, "But I must know...this 'Kisa' you mentioned. Where is she now?"
"Oh yeah! Said something about meeting her father."
Koopling's eyes lit up, and she started to purr.
Before anyone could ask what made her so happy, Wolven shook his head saying "Don't mind her."
Tina and Zapook spoke alone for awhile. Tina told Zapook everything, and then, Zapook was given the blood gem.
"Ever since we were given the blood gem by the authorities, it's been shaking and pulsing. I'm sure it had something to do with that explosion. I've also been hearing voices sence we got it. Aussa has heard this voices as well."
Zapook held the gem up and anylized it. Her eyes turned white and it looked as though she went into a hypnotic state.
She handed the gem back to Tina as Tina said, "We must also find my sister. I'm worried."
"She's worried about you as well. Those voices? That's her and lex. They're in the gem."
"But...how!? How can this be?! Oh dear...How do we get her out."
"To be honest? I'm not sure you can." Zapook stared at the gem scracthing her head.
A tear ran down Tina's face. "There must be something we can do..."
"Well...I have a theory...Alright. Give me the gem. I'll see what I can do."
And with that, Zapook Created a portal and disappeared into it.
Hours later, the same portal reappeared right outside the house and Zapook stepped out of it. After they had all came out to greet her, she handed Tina a small velvet sack, much like the one Koopa used to have.
"There's your gem. Now I have some good news and bads news."
Aussa bursted out, "Bad news first, please?"
Zapook answered, "Hmm...nah. Good news first." She reached back into the portal and pulled Koopa out of it. Koopa was a little dazed from the travel through the portal, then realized where she was.
She immediate tackled Tina and hugged her tightly. Then rest of them as well, "You guys have no idea how much I missed you all!"
Tina stared at Koopa and stuttered as she spoke. "Even...me?"
Koopa hugged her a second time and purred. "Yeah. Even you."
Zapook clapped to get everyone's attention. "I'm sorry to break this reunion up, but there's still the bad news."
As she said those worlds, Lex stumbled out of the portal holding his head with one paw. He was back to his normal self, demon wings and all, but was just as dazed as Koopa.
"Hello ladies..."
