> "Cheap? I survived every wave of your spell card without even hitting you once!"
> Use the old back and forth trick again.
> Your comeback is rendered moot, as your standard back and forth tactic fails you. You get hit and lost a life (2 left). Skella cackles at your failure.
> "...screw it. I'm done being nice."
> Shoot girl until she stops moving attacking. Blast way through final spellcard before she really even gets an opportunity to start it. Use that trick we used during the Imperishable Night incident where we used lasers with magic missile for double damage. Keep power level between 3 and 3.95 and blast her away with repeated unfocused shots.
> You pick off Skella's last nonspell with what firepower you have remaining, and the instant the little twerp declares her next spell, you Master Spark her. We don't even get a chance to see the title of the card before Skella explodes in a cloud of zeroes and ones. :V
> Of course, despite all that violence, Skella survives, albeit worse for wear. Her hair's a mess, there's a few holes in her dress, and one of her wings looks like a bear tried to maul it off. Yet, in spite of all that, Skella manages to continue talking in her affably disturbing manner.
> "Crap...So much for killing you with this spell card system. You win this time, but when we cross paths again, you're going regret ever meeting me!" With that, Skella vanishes...And so does the rest of the scenery around you. You start to loose consciousness again...

From somewhere, a transmission...> "...What've I been doing? Why do you ask?...Oh, you saw me playing Rogue Legacy? how many hours? Oh, that's just...Wait, in one day? No, no, you got it all wrong, I can stop any time I want...Once I get all the upgrades. And the equipment. And beat the game a second time...It's not an addiction, ok?! I'm just very invested in--ok, that was just uncalled for. I don't hassle you about your gaming habits, you shouldn't do the same with me..."
> ...
> You can't hear the message anymore. It sounds like a man...or a boy? You couldn't tell.
> Feeling starts to return to your body. Your vision blurs a bit as you open your eyes...And see Mini Medi staring you right in the face!
>
Welcome back, sleepyhead, she says, grinning.
Had a nice nap?> You grumble and brush her aside for the moment as you get your bearings. You seem to be back in your room, on your bed. Things look unchanged since you here last time, barring the fact that it's much darker outside. Nighttime is approaching fast.
> You ask Mini Medi what the hell happened after Medicine poisoned you, and asked why she's still here.
I'd could, but it's best you see for yourself, Mini-Medi says, directing you towards your bedroom mirror. One look explains why it'd be hard to explain...Somehow, you're inside Medicine's body! You try to pinch yourself, to see if it's all just a dream, but you find it impossible; doll plastic isn't exactly flexible.
>
Well, look on the bright side...At least we match. Mini-Medi giggles as you facepalm at this development.
