- As the clouds came down before us, a glowing shape began to appear in the very middle of it all. We could see a round, black form, maybe two miles wide, and running all the way around it like a vein or a vine of ivy was a giant red stripe. Its smooth, curved bottom reflected the ground below it like a mirror, and every now and then powerful flashes of light burst from it.
- “It's the mother ship!” Lloyd cried. And I had realized the same thing.
- “It's Giegue's mother ship!” Anna added, and she pointed up at it.
- ...I guess we weren't going home after all.
- Suddenly a dark thought wave burst into my head. ...It was Giegue's telepathy.
- [I cannot stand the thought that such inferior creatures share the same parents as I. And so, I cannot allow you to live. I came to this planet to have some fun. I came to this planet to perform experiments. And I will not allow the likes of you to interfere!]
- This telepathy was powerful and wicked. We held our heads and fell to our knees, crying out in agony.

- The dark thought waves seared painfully through our brains.
- We did our best to fend off this attack with all of our psychic and mental defenses. Out of the three of us, Anna's resistance was the most effective. But she couldn't do it all on her own.
- “Please...give us strength...!” I cried out, desperately.

- Then, at just that moment, a image popped into each of our minds.
- It was an image that came from Anna's memory. A memory of time long ago, when she had lost both of her parents in an instant because of a car crash. I was asleep, in the back seat of mama and papa's car, Anna thought. You know that game...where you cover someone's eyes from behind them, and you make them guess who's there? I was having a dream. A dream where I covered my papa's eyes, to see if he could guess that it was me.
- ...But papa was driving at the time...I was playing with him in my dream, but because of my strange “powers”...I blinded him for real...and then...
- “NOOOOOO!” Anna began to scream. “PLEASE...PLEASE STOP THIS!”
- “Anna, don't look!” I cried. “This is just a trick. He's making this all up!”
- ...But it didn't seem like Anna could hear me. She only clutched at her head and shook it back and forth.

- I made up my mind, and I decided to send my own blast of thought energy toward Giegue and his mother ship.

- ...But my attack had done absolutely no good. Giegue only took hold of my psychic energy and turned it against me as dark and wicked thought waves.
- An image exploded into my mind. It was from a time when I was eight years old, and I had pushed my little sister, Mimmie, down the stairs. Because of what I did, Mimmie's left leg had been broken. But...when I pushed her, I had wanted her to die...didn't I...?
- “Stop that!” I cried, clutching my head with both hands. “I didn't think that...I didn't think anything like that!”

- YOU TRIED TO KILL YOUR SISTER. YOU WANTED TO KILL YOUR SISTER. YOU WANTED HER TO DIE. YOU TRIED TO MURDER HER…
- Under the relentless attack of those horrible images, my sense of reason began to break down.
- “LEAVE...ME...ALOOOOONE!”
- Without even realizing what I was doing, I started to run. Then I tried to ram myself as hard as I could into that giant, floating ship. But there was no longer any ground beneath me. ...I had dashed right off of a cliff, and found myself tumbling into an endless abyss.
- THE END

- I didn't think it would do much good to attack, so I figured it would be best to focus on defense. With that in mind, I spread out a PK Shield in an attempt to protect Anna. And this time, Giegue's dark thought waves slipped their way into my brain.

- THAT'S RIGHT. YOU TRIED TO KILL YOUR SISTER. YOU TRIED TO KILL HER. YOU WANTED HER DEAD.
- I did my best to endure all of this. To endure the whirlwind of dark and wicked thoughts, even though I was sure I might lose my mind any second now. (-2 PP)

- The thought wave attack died down for a brief moment, and then it came for Lloyd.
- A single word whirled through his mind – “Coward”.
- Lloyd was crying. The truth is, I never wanted to get myself involved in this fight, he thought. That's why I let myself fall under the spell of the onyx hook. That's why I let myself become a Saint Bernard. Because I was scared. I was too scared to fight awful creatures and monsters...
- Lloyd had a vision of all of his classmates, and even his parents, calling him a coward.
- YOU'RE A COWARD. A COWARD. NOTHING BUT A COWARD. A COWARD!
- Lloyd got to his feet. With tears still streaming down his face, he tried to run off, to who knows where. But I caught him, and I held him as tight as I could.

- This was no time for attacks that would do no good, anyway.
