"Boss!" Blazrin cried out, reaching out for Silence. "You bastard! What did you do to the Boss?! You better give him back!"
Without waiting for Negative to reply (Not like he could), Blazrin gripped the hilt of his axe roughly, his knuckles turning white in the process. He slammed his free hand on the flat side of his double-bladed axe and suddenly, the axe was on fire. With the little magic he knew, he applied specifically fire-based magic to his axe. He did not have full control of the magic and wisps of fire occasionally sparked out, similar to that of a firework. The warrior lifted his large axe into the air and pointed it at what remained of Negative.
"Not a lot of people see me when I'm mad, but you really pushed my buttons! I'm gonna get the Boss back even if it means slicing you to pieces! This time, I'll make sure you can't regenerate!"
Blazrin started to slice away at any tentacles that got too close to him or Eleanor. As he sliced, the fire magic would completely consume any pieces of Negative that were sliced off, burning it to a crisp. Blazrin made his way closer and closer to Negative, slicing away as much as he could.
"W-What's he doing now?!" Kiki said, backing up from Negative. "He's not even a person anymore! He's just... goop!"
Kiki gasped upon seeing the Retcon Dragon escape her ribbons and tried her best to get the dragon contained once again by pointing her wand at it. However, before she had a chance to use her magic, a tentacle slithered up her leg and dragged her to the ground, pulling her towards Negative. Kiki screamed in horror as she desperately tried to free herself but lacked the strength to do so. Hatty fell off of Kiki's head when she was dragged away and quickly floated to his partner, wrapping his ribbon arms around her hand. He tried to pul Kiki away from Negative but was still weak from the damage Negative did to him earlier.
"Hatty, help me..! I don't want to die!" Kiki cried, tears rolling down her cheeks from pure terror. "Don't let me go Hatty! Please help me Hatty! I don't want to die..!"
"I'm not letting you go, Kiki!" Hatty said as he struggled to pull Kiki away from the tentacles. "Just hang on..!"
As Hatty attempted to do one final pull in his attempts to save Kiki, the power of Negative was too much for him and his ribbon arms tore off. He flew back a little as he watched Kiki quickly get pulled into the blob. Hatty tried his best to rush to her but Kiki was already absorbed, the last thing he saw was her crying face and her terrified voice. Hatty watched in disbelief that Kiki was gone. All that was left of his partner was her wand. Hatty grabbed the wand with his now smaller ribbon arms and frowned before turning to Negative.
"She didn't do anything wrong... You took my friend... You took Kiki..! You... You will perish!"
As Kire was about to fire his beam to kill the Retcon Dragon, he was flung back several meters thanks to the updraft of the dragon. He skidded to a stop near Z and Asuza, groaning at how much he didn't want to do this. He could not do much because he lacked any physical power of magical capabilities. The grunts of a female caught his attention. It sounded so familiar to him and when he turned to face who was making them, his heart nearly sunk.
Evelyn was gracefully fighting off any tentacles that came near her or the Fairy Queen with her expert martial arts skills. She appeared to have no problem thanks to the boost Z gave her and her quick reflexes. Any tentacle that got near her or the Fairy Queen was easily kicked or punched away with so much force it sliced the tentacle in half. She would occasionally fire off a shockwave from the force behind her punch to Negative, in the hope it will hurt him. Moving close behind her was a tentacle she failed to notice at first. By the time she did, she had to take a moment to reel her arm back in order to punch it. However, before she punched it, a laser shot at the tentacle, disintegrating it entirely before it touched Evelyn. When the LAdy turned up to see who helped her, her eyes widen upon seeing Kire lowering his arm, with smoking coming from his palm.
"Kire! What are you doing here?!" Evelyn said as she continued to fight off a few tentacles.
"I could ask you the same thing, Evelyn!" replied Kire as he got closer to the female, vigilantly protecting her by firing lasers at the nasty tentacles. "Get t' safety, I'll handle it from here!"
"No way! I have to help the Fairy Queen and all the others! You should be the one getting to safety!"
"Evelyn, I ain't gonna argue at a time like this!" There was a moment of peace where the tentacles were all dealt with on his side, except for one he did not see. "Just get outta here and--"
The tentacle wrapped itself around Kire's ankle and pulled him to the floor, dragging him towards Negative. The redhead yelped and felt his arm held by Evelyn. She was desperately trying to pry him free but thanks to Kire's laser, he blasted the tentacle and managed to set himself free. He rose to his feet, dusting himself off, spitting in the direction of the tentacle.
"I told you to back off, Kire! This is too much for you to handle! I don't want you to get hurt, especially since you don't know martial arts or magic! This Negative wizard is no joke and I don't think your lasers are enough to hurt him!" Evelyn scolded.
Evelyn pointed at Negative as Kire rolled his eyes at her scolding. At that moment, several tentacles wrapped around Evelyn's arm and leg, pulling her down and dragging her towards Negative. Kire immediately grabbed her free arm, trying his best to free her. He fired laser blasts at the tentacles but the more he fired, the more they wrapped around Evelyn, making it harder for him to pull her away. He did the best he could to fend off the tentacles from Evelyn but knew it would only get worse. He used his uzi to fire entire clips of bullets at the tentacles, more lasers, kicking, punching, scratching and even biting. He grew more and more desperate, almost as if he really wanted to save Evelyn no matter what. Something drove him to not let her go. Evelyn struggled against the grasp of the tentacles, kicking and flailing in her attempts to set herself free. Once the tentacles almost completely engulfed Evelyn, she realized if she dragged Kire closer to Negative, he would get absorbed too. She let go of Kire's hand and pushed him back with a gentle shockwave from her gauntlets, Kire staring back in horror at what she did.
"Kire, focus on stopping Negative! If you stop him, everything should go back to normal!" Evelyn said as her entire body was almost consumed by the tentacles. "You always find a way! You'll fix this! I know you will!"
Kire watched Evelyn's face get covered by the tentacles as the Lady clawed the floor in order to prevent herself from being taken. Kire rushed to Evelyn and jumped in order to grab her hand but the tentacles whisked her away seconds before Kire could grab her hand. He desperately crawled after her but every time he got close, the tentacles would mockingly pull Evelyn away until finally absorbing her within Negative. Despite Evelyn's warning, Kire continued to crawl towards her, forgetting that there were tentacles surrounding him, getting reach to consume him.
"No... No..."
"Guess Shine is acting like a jerk, huh~?" Z said as she erased at any tentacles that got near Asuza and her gang. She failed to save Bob but it was probably because she didn't notice him due to his plainness. "It appears that he's absorbing those caught in his grasp~ Be wary, 'Suza and don't let your guard down~"
Z was protected from the tentacles thanks to a magical barrier she put over herself that erased up any tentacles that got near her. She watched silently, carefully plotting out where to strike Negative without hurting the others who might still be alive within him. She started to draw something with her Omnipencil and bring it to life within the real world. In her hand landed a silly looking grenade with stickers and other nonsense.
"This should slow him down just a tad~" Z turned to face Vox. "Hey, you, do you think you can your Wind Elemental make a tornado around Negative~? This will make the effect look super cool~"
Z pulled the pin from her goofy grenade and tossed it to the Negative blob. It started to beep, each second that passed by made it beep faster and faster, indicating it was getting ready to blow. Z was about to lean back and watch the show until she noticed Kire dangerously close to the grenade.
"Whoa~!" Z pulled her Omnipencil back and to jutted it towards Kire. A fishing line and hook fired from the tip and latched on to Kire's shirt. Z, quite literally, began to reel Kire in, using her Omnipencil as a fishing rod. Kire struggled, trying to break free from the magical hook as he dug his nails in the ground, calling out Evelyn's name. Finally, Z plopped him down on the floor and gently pushing him back using her pencil. "You're the luckiest catch of the day~"
"Shut your face y'stupid gnome-faced fly! I got t' get Evelyn back! Just.. Just get her back y' Imp!"
"Ah, a red snapper~"
Without waiting for Negative to reply (Not like he could), Blazrin gripped the hilt of his axe roughly, his knuckles turning white in the process. He slammed his free hand on the flat side of his double-bladed axe and suddenly, the axe was on fire. With the little magic he knew, he applied specifically fire-based magic to his axe.

"Guess Shine is acting like a jerk, huh~?" Z said as she erased at any tentacles that got near Asuza and her gang.
