Morros' POV:

"YN, are you alright?" I ask her worriedly.

She smiles at me, but there is something evil in the way that her mouth curves up cruelly, and in the way that her eyes glint.

"Was that it?" Jay asks disappointedly.

YN starts walking towards him, but a confidence that is very wrong, indeed. "Oh no, the fun's just beginning." She tells him. She raises a hand that's wreathed in energy and takes aim at him.

Jay gulps. "That's not good.."

"Jay, get down!" I yell at him. He immediately throws himself down flat onto the deck, and YNs' projectile hurtles over him, to the exact spot where his heart was only a moment before.

"YN?" Jay squeaks out, his eyes wide with fear.

"That's not YN anymore! It's Bansha-!" She hurls another energy ball at me, and I jump out of the way. YN cackles with a chilling kind of glee, and it terrifies me. "Get out of her body, Bansha!"

"Morro." She purrs, mimicking YNs' voice. "Do you really think that I could ever love you? You've imprisoned me, used me, and you couldn't even keep your own ghosts from turning against you. You're not fit to be loved." She tells me contemptuously.

Part of me knows that it's Bansha talking, but the pain of YNs' rejection still sends me reeling backwards in shock. "..I-I'm n-not.."

"Don't listen to her! That's not YN anymore, it's Bansha, remember? She's manipulating you, Morro!" Jay shouts to me. "Let YN decide all that stuff when we get out of this mess!"

YNs' eyes flash with anger, but she hastily composes herself and tries the same thing again, but this time, I block out her words and they can't affect me. She sees this and her face contorts with rage. She raises a hand, I see dark energy in it, and I know that she will destroy me, regardless of the fact that I am a ghost. I stand there, frozen, unwilling and unable to defend myself against the pretty young woman that I have come to admire so greatly.

She sneers at me and pulls her hand back, about to throw, when she suddenly yells 'NO!', doubles over, and starts gasping for air. Lloyd seems to understand what's going on and rushes to her side, trying to straighten her up. She's mumbling, arguing with herself, and I can just make out what she's saying.

.."Leave him alone, you stupid witch! I'll never let you hurt him!" She lets out a low moan and a shudder passes through her, then Bansha speaks.

"You dare!? Give up, child, there's no point in fighting my possession! Your feelings make you weak!"

"What are you talking about, Bansha? She's hardly a weak person!" I interrupt.

"She's as vulnerable as you are, Morro."

"What?" I say, confused.

"Morro, don't. Please.. help me." YN pleads weakly. Bansha growls and takes control again.

"You don't understand, do you? No matter. I believe I'll be leaving now, if that's alright with you."

"No, it's not!" Lloyd interrupts. "Blast her, Nya!" He yells.

"My pleasure." Nya responds. "Let my friend go!" She douses YN (Bansha?) with a spiraling column of water, but to no effect.

"Water is hardly going to harm me now." Bansha scoffs. "But I do so hate getting wet.." She gives us a malicious look and begins chanting. Ghostly tendrils start to spread outward, grabbing us and trying to pin us in place. One of them takes the Crystal and hands it to a possessed YN, who then lifts it up and creates a portal.

"There's an evil, creepy ghost witch possessing YN, who's about to escape through some magic portal and leave us to die, but please, take your time coming up with a plan, Lloyd!" Jay screams in panic.

"There's no time for a plan!" Lloyd shouts back to him, then he wriggles enough to get his Aeroblade into his hand. He cuts himself free and throws it to me. I catch it and cut the tendrils that are wrapped around my waist.

"Go, Morro!" Lloyd yells to me. I run towards YN and use wind to boost myself up into the portal. I tackle her, and she fights me as we enter it, then get dumped on the other side.
