"Brother what are you doing?!" Olivia exclaimed, tears starting to well up in her eyes.

"haIhouhadnethe begininliaadctethe ptiulFLAAPWODH HH" Olly shouted.

"He took the Chaos Heart, that dirty little traitor!" Mr.L muttered.

Mr.L went to walk forward but Dimentio put a hand on his shoulder.

"No. He did not take it. IT took HIM." Dimentio stated, "It needed a new host, so it chose the source of magic closest to mine."

Olly was breathing heavily, the Chaos Heart in his hands. Dimentio slowly floated forward.

"Olly, give it here," Dimentio told him.

Olly looked down at the Heart and then back at them.

"I made the mistake of trying to control its power, I do not want you to do the same." Dimentio said, "Even if you do not trust me, you surely trust your sister. If you keep the Chaos Heart you will hurt her again."

Dimentio was now directly in front of Olly. He knelt down and put his hands on Olly's shoulders. Olly was on the verge of tears, not looking any of them in the eyes as he clutched the Heart.

"Olly, look at me," Dimentio said, gently turning his head to face him, "I know what it is like to want a perfect world, one where your loved ones do not get harmed. But it cannot be achieved without harming them. So we just have to settle for what we have. I have Mr.L, and you have your sister. And... perhaps... a father?"

Olly was shaking while choking on sobs.

"I-I would like that..." Olly murmured.

"All that you need to do is hand over the Heart," Dimentio stated.

Olly gulped and slowly held out the Heart, only to recoil last second. He let out a scream as black streamers emerged from the Chaos Heart and began to wrap around him with a vice grip.

"Brother!" Olivia exclaimed.

She tried to fly to him only to be knocked back by one of the streamers.

"I got you!" Mr.L yelled.

Mr.L jumped up and grabbed ahold of Olivia and crashed to the ground. Olly thrashed as he was quickly engulfed in black. Mr.L's bandana came off of Olly and fluttered to the floor. Out of the Chaos Heart's abyss, emerged Olly. But he was now a lot bigger, meaner, and very upset.

"H-he got big again!" Olivia shrieked, "The last time this happened, Mario could hardly defeat him! A-and I don't have the special magic circle!"

"Last I checked, you ended up ending his game after you bashed him with the hammer, too." Mr.L stated.

The mind-controlled Olly towered over them.

"tht fla par." Olly bellowed.

Mr.L marched forward and rolled up his sleeves.

"Maybe a jolt will wake him up." Mr.L said.

"L, wait! That won't work!" Dimentio exclaimed.

Mr.L bounded forward and activated his Thunderhand, slamming his fist into Olly only to be bounced back onto the ground. A shield was surrounding him. Olivia and Dimentio helped him up.

"The Chaos Heart makes him invincible, remember?" Dimentio said.

"Right..." Mr.L mumbled.

Olly let out a roar and brought his hammer fist down on them. Dimentio snapped his fingers, making a magic box appear around himself, Mr.L, and Olivia.

"Y can hie n tre oreer" Olly shouted.

"How can we snap him out of it?!" Olivia exclaimed.

"I know!" Mr.L stated.

Mr.L reached into his pockets and revealed the eight Pure Hearts.

"The Pure Hearts! Yes! Now we just need one of us to use them." Dimentio replied.

Olivia floated forward.

"I'll do it," Olivia stated.

Olly slammed his fists down on the magic box, sending cracks down it.

"Olivia, you need to use these Pure Hearts on Olly, it will weaken the Chaos Heart's effects. Once he is weakened, we can snap him out of it." Dimentio said, "You need to do it as soon as the box disappears, okay?"

Olivia nodded. Olly hit the box again, it was almost shattered.

"NOW!" Dimentio yelled, making the box vanish.

Olivia flew up with the eight Pure Hearts surrounding her.

"Come to your senses brother!" Olivia shouted.

The Pure Hearts flashed a blinding light and then disappeared. The shield surrounding Olly shattered.

"Wt?o! I fue o le ai!" Olly exclaimed.

"He's weakened!" Mr.L pointed out.

Olly shot paper airplanes at Mr.L. He hopped on top of them, causing them to break.

"Olly! Please stop this! We can finally leave everything behind us! Just please stop!" Olivia begged.

Olly swiped his scissor blades at her.

" cnotp, ste oh my gl iusut oas" Olly shouted, "I all nvr e aeped!he Cafma mae sre THA"

Mr.L brought his foot down on the blades, shattering them.

"But you can change that!" Mr.L exclaimed, "Look at me! I went from a minion of Count Bleck to saving you and my closest friend!"

"A! ne f you desta! u wreade wh ur wn lis i fnt o you! I' bn edisoeo noinut aonesuci sine I s fldd" Olly shouted.

Olly threw his hand on top of them only to be knocked back by Dimentio.

"I do understand! You were made with my paper! I should know better than anyone else what you must be feeling right now." Dimentio exclaimed, "Angry, unjustified, betrayed, and scared. Scared that if you stop, no one will forgive you! I have been feeling those same things and more for the past few years! And I am still feeling them even to this day! For all I know, people are waiting to send me back to the Underwhere, or they could be waiting to forgive me! But we will not know until we go out and confront them together!"

Olly eased up slightly. Olivia floated up and hugged him.

"Please calm down, brother... I promise to stay by your side, no matter what happens..." Olivia murmured.

Tears began to well up in their eyes.

"I... I'm sorry..." Olly said, choking on tears.

"He's coming too!" Mr.L exclaimed.

"I got it from here, Olivia!" Dimentio said.

Dimentio snapped his fingers and Olly froze in place. Olly immediately shrank in size and then refolded back to normal. He fell to the floor and Dimentio caught him.

"Olly, wake up~!" Dimentio murmured.

Olly groaned as his eyes fluttered open. He held out a dull-colored Chaos Heart.

"I believe that this belongs to you, father..." Olly said with a small chuckle.

Dimentio took the Chaos Heart and smashed it on the floor. It shattered into several glass-like fragments. Olly sighed as leaned against Dimentio.

"I'm sorry... We've only been reunited for a few minutes and I've already tried to harm you..." Olly muttered.

Dimentio laughed as he pulled Olly into a hug.

"I would expect nothing less from a son of mine! Ah ha ha!" Dimentio chuckled.

Olivia screamed in delight as she rushed up to them, joining the hug.

"Oooooooooh! I'm so happy! I have my brother back and now a dad! Bring it in!" Olivia squealed.

Mr.L ran up and wrapped his arms around Dimentio.

"Don't think that you can get away from me that easy, Dim!" Mr.L exclaimed, planting a kiss on his cheek.

Dimentio turned red as he embraced them all.

"I love you all..." Dimentio sighed under his breath.
