(Back in the present)

   Tommy was looming over a terrified SocksFor1, tentacles coming from his back, ready to stab Socks.
Blaza almost froze. But if he did, Socks would be dead. No, he had to save his real friend.
He pounced Tommy, pulling him off of Socks.
Tommy let out a screech like nails on a chalkboard, but in the same voice the creature used, AKA coming from everywhere and nowhere along with being multiplied by about 69.
Blaza almost screamed himself. The sound lit his ears on fire, but he didn't release Tommy.
Not that it mattered, after he was done screeching Tommy threw him off pretty easily. Socks lept at Tommy next, pinning him better then Blaza had.
Blazas watch buzzed with the familiar 'Emergency Meeting' hologram.
Socks had called a meeting!
Blaza recovered and lept again at Tommy before he could stab Socks.
Blaza grabbed the tentacle closest to Socks, pulling it away seconds before it pierced Socks.
Tommy aimed a tentacle at Blaza, but Socks pounced it and pulled. Tommy screeched again, making Socks back away and cover his ears. Tommy aimed two tentacles at Socks, and the other two at Blaza.
Neither had anywhere to run.
Then Woolf came in, lunging at Tommy and catching the alien off-guard.
Tbh came in next, grabbing a tentacle and pulling as hard as he could. Oof grabbed another tentacle, and Nadwe did similarly, though instead of holding it down, the tentacle whirled around, taking Nadwe with it.
Socks lept back into the fight, grabbing and holding down another tentacle. Blaza grabbed the fifth.
Working together for the first time in days, the six pinned each tentacle down and kept Tommy on the ground.
Blaza saw opportunity, and took it.
"Who's the king now?" He said smugly.
Tommy hissed, freeing the tentacle Blaza had been holding. Woolf quickly overpowered the flailing black heck and pinned it to the ground again.
Tommy's eyes glowed red and more tentacles came from his back, now totaling up to 8. He freed the other five and lunged at Blaza, but was thwarted by more tentacles.
Everyone looked at where the tentacles had come from to see Tbh, his eyes also glowing red.
Blaza didn't question it. Instead, he pounced Tommy, knocking him down. Woolf soon followed, landing on top of Tommy and pinning him to the ground.
Tbh wrapped his tentacles around Tommy's, keeping them on the floor. Finally, Tommy was unable to free himself.
"I'm done. I made my choice, and it's to not help you." Tbh hissed, his voice not his own.
"Traitor!" Tommy screeched.
"I think it's time you forfeit." Blaza said, smiling at his chess reference. He couldn't help but feel proud of himself for turning the chess board Tommy seemed to love so much against him.
"Airlock?" Woolf suggested.
"Airlock." Socks nodded.
Tbh pulled Tommy by the tentacles toward the airlock.
Thankfully, Tommy had seemed to give up and went with him without putting up a fight. Everyone else kept their distance, still unsure about Tbh.
But Blaza trusted him.
If it weren't for Tb, well, not Tb, but whoever was pretending to be Tb, they'd all be dead. He'd saved their lives. How could they not trust him?
Woolf pressed a button, and the airlock doors opened. Tbh led Tommy inside, and Woolf pressed the button again.
But then Tommy made his move.
In the split seconds that followed, Tommy grabbed Tbh before he could back away from the closing doors. He yanked him inside the airlock just as Woolf pulled a lever next to the button, and both aliens flew into space.
Blaza stared shocked at what'd just happened. Both Impostors were gone, one of which had just saved their lives.
"Well, that happened." Woolf said, staring at the airlock.
"You know what? Frick this!" Socks said, headed toward comms.
"What-" Blaza said, following the spaceman. Once he'd reached comms, Socks tuned to a channel and started talking Into a small mic. "Hello? Mira? We're coming back. Yes, you heard me right. No. Im calling because half the crew is frickin dead. Yeah, dead. Okay, thanks." Socks said into the mic.
"Good news, we're going home!" He announced as Woolf, Oof, and Nadwe came in.
"Wait, really?" Nadwe asked, sudden hope arising from his voice. "Yep! I just called Mira." Socks said happily.
"About time!" Oof said jokingly, but it was clear he meant his words.
"Woohoo! Bye Skeld, I won't miss you!" Woolf screamed at the air, running off to do furry things.
Oof and Nadwe left right after.
"So... it's finally over." Socks said, staring at the wall.
"Yeah... It's finally over."

(——— One week later... ——)

  The door to the dropship opened up to Mira HQ.
For the first time he could remember, Blaza breathed in fresh air.
"Woohoo! Bye space, hello earth!" Nadwe exclaimed, running out of the dropship and kissing the ground. Blaza wanted to do the same, but maybe not infront of the rest of the crew.
The group stepped out and into Mira.
"The elevator is this way." One of the workers said, staring at Nadwe, who was now hugging the floor.
"Cmon, Nad, you can kiss the ground at your own house." Woolf joked.
"Oh, yeah, right." Nadwe said sheepishly, standing up and joining him in the elevator.
Blaza smiled.
After all the chaos, the deaths, the fighting, He was finally going home.
