Mitch's POV

I noticed other Nick leaving.  Seems he was going...scavenging or something.

We know the basics of this dimension, it being a zombie apocalypse and all.

Lucille and Becca were write-chatting across from the front door of the building.

Becca watched other Nick leave, a worried look on her face.  She turned back to Lucille.

Lucille said something and then just...disappeared.  I was confused for a second, but I decided not to question it.  This dimension was weird enough already.

Becca looked back at the gate then at me, a concerned look on her face.

She looked at the ground and clutched her head, her lips moving silently.  Her fingers started tightening, and at that point, I'd seen enough.

Something was happening to her.

Something very not good.

I needed to get someone she knew the best.

Maybe the dude with the sunglasses.

I stood up quickly, almost tripping over my feet.  I was sitting on the staircase.

I steadied myself and ran up the stairs.

Barney and Ross were talking as I passed.  They glanced at me slightly but said nothing to me.

The man was talking with the mask man on the 3rd floor.  They both started when they saw me.

Before they could ask, I said, "Something's wrong with Becca!"

They glanced at each other before nodding and running down the stairs.

I turned to follow when I heard shouts of pain coming from outside.

I ran down the stairs after them.  Barney and Ross ran down with me.

"What's wit the screamings?"  Barney asked hurriedly.

I shook my head and rushed out the door, coming upon a very strange and scary sight.

Becca was sitting on the ground, eating from something.  Blood pooled out from the sides.  A piece of a white jacket with blood on it lay to the side.

Only one person I knew of had a white jacket on him.

Jin.

Becca whipped around, and what I saw was terrifying.

(Next parts are a bit gross)

Her eyes weren't gray anymore.  They were bright white, almost like that myth Herobrine.  Blood dribbled down her mouth, and I swore I saw a piece of muscle hanging from her mouth.

"Oh my God!"  The man with glasses exclaimed.

"BECCA?  WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"  The masked man exclaimed.

Becca grinned evilly and raised her hands above her head in surrender, slowly moving out of the way so we could see Jin.

Or what was left of him.

Shock was written all over his face, as well as terror.  His intestines were hanging from his abdomen, and blood pooled from his mouth.

He was very dead.

So very dead.

"JIN!!"  I heard Sky exclaim.

I looked back to see him shove past the others who had gathered out here.

The masked man clenched his fists and drew his gun, pointing it at Becca.

"Guys, listen up.  I need 8 of you to go inside and to the 2nd floor.  In the room to the left, there is a chest with katanas in it.  Each of the 8, grab one and come back out here."

I looked at Jin to see Sky holding his head in his lap.

"Jin...."  (My stupid phone keeps autocorrecting Jin to Jon)  Sky whispered.

My heart broke for them.  Like I do with Jerome, Sky had a connection with Jin.  Deeper than friendship.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light.  Two to be exact.

Lucille had her arms crossed, a frown on her face.

A mysterious person cloaked in purple appeared behind Sky and Jin.

They sighed, and it sounded like...me?

"She's done it again...."  They said.

Sky looked up at the figure then at me.

"Mitch?  Umm, why does th----"

*ZAP*

Sky and Jin disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Nick gasped.  "What did you do to them?!"

The figure turned to Nick.  Ashen-gray smoke shrouded their face.  "I sent them back to their proper dimension, as I shall you."

Lucille stepped in front of us.

You can't and you know it.  They are essential to the plot of this story as much as they are to their own.

The figure stood silent.

Then began chuckling.

"At it again, it seems.  Delving further into her stories than she should.  Does she know what she is doing here?  Does she understand the consequences of crossovers?"

I am her, as well, you know.  I understand, so she understands.  Now, ...mastermind, go back to your castle.  They shall return when the time is right.

The figure stood rigid then shook their head.

"I will not.  More of them will die, and it is my job as the mastermind over the game to ensure my subjects are alive and well...before continuing the game, that is.  I will step back and allow this story to continue.  Know that I will come in to take back the dead."

Without another word, the figure turned away swiftly, their cloak completely masking them.  There was a puff sound, and the mastermind was gone.

I blinked before looking at Lucille.  She sighed and flew towards Becca.  At least, the person who looks like Becca.  There's no way on Notch's green Minecraftia that she would change so rapidly.

Ai ai ai....  Why did I ever allow this...?  She spoke as she flew around Becca.

Becca licked off the blood from her face and chewed up the muscle, swallowing it and grinning madly.  She clenched her fists which were still above her head.

I gagged inwardly and turned away.

I saw Nick (our Nick), Ian, Crainer, Mark, Felix, Sub, Barney, and Quentin came out with the swords.  Seto's hands lit up with purple fire.

The masked man, with his gun still pointed at Becca, said quietly to them, "Surround her.  Point your swords at her."

They glanced at each other before swiftly surrounding her.

I walked up behind Barney and watched Becca.

She widened her eyes in fear for a second before grinning evilly again.

The masked man came in behind her and raised a bat to knock her out.  Just as it was coming down, she ducked out of the way.  She rolled between Barney's and Nick's legs, grabbing mine in the process.

Out of reflex, I grabbed the nearest thing to me to keep myself from falling.  Unfortunately, the closest thing to me was Barney.

Both Barney and I fell over.  His sword fell from his hand.

She grabbed the sword and stabbed Barney in the chest.

Nick was the first to react.  He whacked Becca over the head, knocking her out.  She fell forward, the sword falling from her grasps.

The masked man grabbed her and drug her a little bit away from us.  I fell down next for Barney.

He was already gone.

An ashen-gray smoke cloud enveloped Barney.  After a few seconds, it dissipated, and he was gone.

The man with sunglasses picked up Becca and went inside.

I frowned.  "What...was that about?"

The masked man sighed.  "She's half-zombie.  Can't speak, heart doesn't beat, friendly with zombies, doesn't feel pain.  But it had also seemed she had gained yet another alter ego named Rebecca who is her zombie alter ego.  Rebekitah, Becky, Rebecca, Becca.  All one person.  From the looks of this...that was Rebecca."

Lucille flew over to us and landed, sighing heavily.  I'm so sorry to put you all through this.  If it makes you guys feel better, Jin and Barney are fine.  When you guys return, no time would've passed for them.  It'll be like when they died, you guys came back.

Lucille froze in place for a second before shaking her head.  I need to go.  You guys be careful, K?

She smiled half-heartedly and disappeared.

I looked back at the building to see on the third floor on the right the sunglasses man cuffing Becca to some kind of pole near the window.

"So...what...what now?"

"Now we figure out what Becca was actually doing with Red."  Nick said.

I looked at Nick, but he shrugged.

I looked down the road to see other Nick walking down it, a stern look on his face.

The masked man turned to him.  "What do you...ohhhhh...you found some kind of evidence, huh?"

"Yes, AK, I did.  Very concrete evidence.  Unfortunately...."  He looked up at the window with Becca near it.  "...It would seem we have multiple paths we can choose to approach this with.  We can confront her on it and distrust her, we can confront her on it and play naive to anyone else, confront her and help her, or pretend we never knew and continue trusting her."

*At this point, Nick decides to break the fourth wall...AGAIN*

He turned towards the screen.  "Reader, what do we do?  We need your help.  Pick a number between 1-4.  1 is confront and distrust.  2 is confront and naive to everyone else.  3 is confront and help.  4 is pretend we never knew and continue trusting.  Help us!  BeccaWise4 is unable to continue either book without some reader guidance!  There's too many for her to choose from!  She will not count comment chains, only the original comment!   Only individual comments will be counted!  We're all counting on you, Hyperfans!"
