ooc: You're going to make me describe stuff in the maze before getting to the door I want you to be at, aren't you? I just didn't want Bon Bon's cage to be right next to the very plot surprising reveal room I had in mind. But okay, let's see what I can do. The room Bon Bon looked in was filled with the puppets that Miss Craft used to move around with her spiders. The same puppets that Wiz was now using by freely taking possession of them. These however was lying lifeless in a huge pile, perhaps to be used later.

OOC: yep BIC: Bon Bon tried to see if there was something she could use to defend herself should she lose her powers, but against Zenny she didn't really stand a chance armed or unarmed. She grabbed her shoulder and remembered the pain from before before shaking it off and walking further down and scanning another room.

This room was a workshop filled with wood. It looked like someone tried to make puppets, but bits and pieces was lying all over the place that must have been failed attempts. The place was recently used though as wet paint still covered the floor. The freshest was the same color as Bon Bon's fur.

Bon Bon looked around the room and the smell of paint kind of overwhelmed her senses for a second. After a sneeze she simply noted that the room had been used recently and that there wasn't anything of use here. She walked on and turned a corner to find a lit doorway at the end of the hall. On the way to that door was a room to her left with the door wide open, so she took a gander. OOC: Forth room will be your surprise room because the best things come in three's

ooc: Except I was going to make the 3rd room the surprise room regardless and now I can't and have to think of something relevant to put in this room. There was a single bed in this room that looked like it hasn't been used for quite some time. The walls were covered with pictures of Lyra, taken in the month since they fought Miss Craft. The word 'hate' was written over many of them.

OOC: Hahahahahahaha BIC: "Moving on." Bon Bon said quickly, trying not to be too unsettled by the clear stalkerish tendencies she just witnessed. She moved on to the door at the end of the hall and took a deep breath before pushing it open.

This room was more well lit than the others Bon Bon had been in so far. There was a door on the far side, but what drew the most attention in the room was the strings that hung from the ceiling to the ground and in the middle of them, hanging limp in the air, was the body of Miss Craft. The cut from Lyra still across her chest.

Bon Bon scanned the room and then followed the strings up until she spotted Miss Craft hanging there. She put a hoof over her mouth and looked down, almost out of a sense of guilt with the smallest twinge of... disgust? Why was she hanging there. She was on the ground last they left her, and now here she was strung up like a cruel chandelier. Has Wiz truly fallen off the edge and gone as far as to not even give Miss Craft a proper burial. She deserved that much. She was lost in the thoughts of the sight such that she ignored her surroundings for the time being and looked back up at Miss Craft, wondering if she should get her down.

Miss Craft's head lifted up and she looked straight at Bon Bon. "Bon Bon?" She said, her voice sounded tired and her eyes looked faded. Unlike it did before when it was filled with life. She reached out her hoof until the strings tightened and held her back. "Bon Bon, I was so afraid for you."
The puppet walked down the corridor where Lyra was sitting. Making a distinguished sound with its wooden hooves against the tiled floor. There was nopony else in the corridor except for the two of them.

Bon Bon was rendered speechless... The flurry of emotion that followed this was hard to even understand but there was clearly sadness, anger, confusion, and guilt, "I... I'm sorry." She said at last, bowing her head. It was all she could think to say.
Lyra's ear pointed in the direction of the wooden sound and a clear anger glazed over her eyes, though it was her eyes alone that showed the anger. The rest seemed shockingly composed.

Miss Craft's hoof slumped back down. "Don't be sorry." She said. "You saved me."
"That's the look I wanted to see." Wiz said delighted. "Now that I've killed one of your friends you must be dying to meet the one I took away. Or maybe your just hoping that I'll die."

"But, I couldn't stop with without killing you. I didn't want to take you away from Natasha and the others." Bon Bon said, clearly sad and upset, "And now look at you. And Wiz seems to be on a quest of revenge. They never end well."
"Just die? Oh no, death would bee too easy for you. You're going to suffer for what you've done, suffer until your mind is broken and you couldn't ask for mercy if you wanted to." Lyra said rather breathy and with a venom in her tone of a serial killer.

"You're right." Craft told Bon Bon. "Wiz has changed, corrupted by my power, and he is so very, very angry. Another cruel fate that is all my fault. But if you hadn't stopped me from murdering that child I would have ended up in a fate worst than death. I would not have been able to live with myself afterwords."
The most delightful smile appeared in the puppet's eyes. "Then you're still not angry enough. If you want me to live even a moment longer to suffer. But don't worry, soon you will be. Do you want to meet Bon Bon? Where shall I bring her?"

Bon Bon couldn't even find the words to reply anymore and sat still. It then occurred to her, "What happened to Natasha and The Guv? Are they alright through this?" she asked with new found concern.
"Bon Bon can handle herself. And if she's allowed herself to be captured by you then that's her fault. If you think you can possible make this any worse for yourself then you already have, then you're sorely mistaken." Lyra said and reached for her flank to draw her Crossbow.

ooc: Is Bon Bon asking it or thinking it?
"It's been the hardest on them." Craft told her. "They are locked up somewhere in here, although Natasha sometimes gets let out." She pointed towards Bon Bon. "Your bandages was probably her doing. Wiz wont do that, not anymore. He doesn't listen to them or me. No matter how much they plead."
Lyra's hoof slammed back to the ground and stayed there. "Have already forgotten what I told you earlier or are you still not taking me seriously? I'm going to make you kill her and you're going to do it all on your own." The puppet moved to Lyra and put a hoof on the front of her head. "As long as you're able the think straight I can control you, but once you loose all that you'll be too powerful for me. Pure rage converted into true power. And then you can come and kill me."

Bon Bon nodded, "So, how can I help? I don't want to take his life if I don't need to. Again, for Natasha and Guv."
"I already told you. I'm going to torture you. You'll wish for death and get only more pain. What you have before you is much more dangerous then rage. I'll never forgive you and one day you'll be broken." Lyra said, putting all her strength into pulling her weapon.

"I want to save him too." Miss Craft said. "Take my power away from him. But I don't know how. And now I'm the same as Zenny and Doodle, kept alive only through a connection with Wiz. I'm powerless. And if he's not stopped they'll both die, Wiz and your friend."
"More dangerous than rage?" Wiz asked. "Oh no, no. You showed me Lyra. You showed me that there's nothing more powerful than anger. It's only because of that, that I'm able to be better than you now. Because my anger is far greater than yours. But it wont be like that for long, you'll see. Meet me outside in ten minutes and you can have your friend back." He let Lyra have control of her arm again and she could draw her weapon.

Bon Bon tried to think of what to do, "Well, it makes sense that the only way to beat him now would be to cut him off from your power? And while I'm thinking about it, how are you back? I'm sure Lyra killed you." She asked, confused and hoping there would be a better solution then before when death seemed the only answer. Lyra really did draw her crossbow, the most powerful form of her weapon, and fired a bolt at the puppet. It only stuck into the puppet's chest, however, and beeped once before the arrow and an area of about two feet in diameter, floor included, disintegrated into nothing. There was no big explosion or boom, just a fine dust left in the air that blew away. The crown of the head, front hooves, and hind legs of the puppet were the only parts not destroyed. She put the crossbow away before walking away and towards the front of the hospital. OOC: I tried, but that's all I could think of You know how I can hit slumps with this thread/characters.

ooc: Don't worry you give me a foothold to start with.
"She did." Craft told Bon Bon. "And with my dying breath I made another terrible mistake to add to my sins." She said, her voice filled with sadness and regret. "I wanted to give Wiz the power he needed to be strong, to make his dreams come true. So I transferred my power to him in a similar way I transferred the souls of Zenny and Doodle to their puppets. But Wiz changed and this new Wiz brought me back to life, linked to him like they were linked to me. At first I was shocked, but glad. Then I saw how he had changed and that he only wanted me back to learn how to use his new powers. But the crafting of puppets and transferring of souls is not a part of that power, it was something I taught myself over hundreds of years. But his unicorn magic gave him abilities that far surpassed my own. I wanted to talk to him, to stop him, but I couldn't. I was in shock. I... I... The link between us..." Miss Craft went quiet with a look of horror in her eyes and her body shaking.
Another puppet was waiting for Lyra in front of the hospital and right next to him a puppet that was the same color, same mane, tail and same cutie mark as Bon Bon.

"Miss Craft? MISS CRAFT!" Bon Bon said, in a frantic worry she's not used in a long time. She wished she could reach up and pull her down, but she didn't know the effect that would have on her. She could only wait and see what would happen next.
Lyra just rolled her eyes and say down. She'd had it with these puppets, and while the Bon Bon puppet had her attention, it wasn't for very long. After all, it was Wiz she wanted, but these extensions of him. She couldn't cause him pain through these puppets and as such they held no meaning for her.

Miss Craft looked back to Bon Bon and the horror faded away. "I'm sorry Bon Bon, I didn't mean for you to worry." her limbs slumped down again and she closed her eyes. "Why did I ever exist Bon Bon? Why did I ever became alive? As a cruel joke to this world? All I wanted was to be like everypony else, only to find out that doing so would reveal what I really was. The link between me and Wiz has given me the ability to feel, real feelings. And what I almost did to that innocent girl rushed into me. I now know why you did what you did, you saved her and me. But the horror of murdering my two best friends are burned into my memory and there's nothing I can do to make it right! Killing them without so much as blinking. And now Wiz will die because of me as well. I can't even cry for them Bon Bon."
The Bon Bon puppet stepped forward. "I'm sorry Lyra." It said. It was Bon Bon's voice in every way, there was no mistaking it. It couldn't have been faked. "I'm not in control of myself any more, The Puppet Master controls me now." She reached at her cutie and a candy came out of it and she put it to her mouth. She linked Lyra's jaw with the ground beneath her and bit into it.
ooc: Give me a quick rundown of her powers again so I know I'm doing this right. Just the how to do things and her limitation. I remember some of it, but just a quick reminder.

"There must be something we can do. Even if we don't reason with him, you know your power better then anyone would. Surely you know of a weakness or fault. We just need to bring him out of his rut and down to our level." Lyra said, though she was more confused now then before. Who did she murder? And how was Wiz doomed to die? She wanted to save everyone if she could and, ridiculous as the plan was, she fought hard to believe it could happen.
OOC: For Bon Bon, it's just manipulation of Gravity on various scales. You could think of it as creating links between points. The candy holds latent energy that Bon Bon's body is built to convert and release. Her body is like a battery that takes power and directs it to something. The more candies the more power she stores, but the shorter she can hold that power before she starts to take physical damage. The limit is ten at which point every second starts to tear her body apart, like when the Flash runs too fast and starts to deatomize. At 10 candies, though, she can create gravitational anomalies on a city wide scale. With a single candy you can link two objects that you can see. Eye contact is a must for any spell. At 5+ candies you can create singularities or links to nothing. One point simply attracts everything indiscriminately. Once a link has been created, it can't be stopped until the energy dissipates. This is usually between 1-5 minutes, or a minute per candy, which is a long time in any fight. Finally, the more you fight the pull the stronger it becomes but the shorter it'll last. You could shorten the burst to a few seconds, but you'll have to fight the gravity hard to do that. That's basically it, any further inquiries will be answered in suit.
BIC: Lyra was about to speak when her whole head was pulled to the ground with enough force to be felt from the sidewalk. Lyra was up on all fours now and trying, in vain, to lift her head from the sidewalk. In her confusion, she didn't even think to draw her weapon.

ooc: Wow, that's kinda OP. But you haven't played Bon Bon in a manner that is OP so it's alright, just don't pull a Marvel/DC on me.
"Please stop me Lyra. I don't want to be like this." The Bon Bon Puppet begged her. Wiz looked on with a smile in his eyes.
"My power has always been limited by distance." Craft told Bon Bon. "It's why I had to lure ponies into my den, like a spider. Why I was certain you couldn't beat me. I was at my strongest and had hundreds of years of experience in planning and laying traps. I'm glad I was wrong." She said and was silent for a moment before going on. "Wiz has a similar weakness, but the darkness of my ability and the rage in his heart has made him much stronger than he should be. And there's something he learned from your friend that makes him even more dangerous." Craft looked into Bon Bon's eyes. "He's not planning on killing your friend, Bon Bon. His plan isn't to defeat her or for her to defeat him."

OOC: Don't bring in the press, right? I won't do anything on a scale you don't initiate first. And I made these characters with the same intention I made Broly with. To be so powerful, combat would only be secondary but being a detective would come first.
BIC: Lyra reached for her flank to draw her crossbow. (I'll wait and see if she get's that far. You've got more then one means of stopping her now.)
Bon Bon nodded, "Can you track where he is now? Maybe if I beat him then Lyra can be spared his plan?"

"I'm sorry Lyra." The Bon Bon puppet said and took another candy from her cutie mark. She concentrated on the lamp posts around her and focused on sending them at Lyra, then she bit into the candy.
"You can't, not anymore." Craft told Bon Bon. "He has inserted a string into you, so that he can control your powers. Can you please get me down from here? I would like to talk to you like we once did, face to face."

"Umm... I can try." Bon Bon said, nervous about what she'd said about her powers, but trying to be considerate of Miss Craft. She looked to the strings hanging from the ceiling. She didn't have anything to cut them with and tried to think back to the rooms she's past, "Do you think there's a knife or scissors in the puppet room back in the hallway?" She gestured a hoof to the door behind her.
Lyra drew her crossbow right as she Lampposts flew at her. She fired a shot at the ground and a massive cloud of smoke appeared around both her and the Bon Bon puppet. There was a sound of cracking concrete and then the clank of metal hitting metal and street. Lyra now had a section of the street attached to the bottom of her jaw and the light poles were stuck to her and haphazardly sticking out here and there. She'd lost a lot of her mobility and tried to aim the crossbow and where she remembered Bon Bon to be.

ooc: Bon Bon can slow things down to make her faster, right?
"Are you holding back?" Wiz asked Lyra. "Because it's hard to say if your friend is just that better than you or if your afraid to beat her? She's not really alive anymore, you know? Do you want to know how Miss Craft made these, like Zenny and Super Pony?" He pointed a hoof to the Bon Bon puppet.
"There may be." Craft told Bon Bon. "Wiz isn't very good at making puppets, he's been using the ones I made to go around."

"So there's no Bon Bon left, eh? Then I don't need to hold back." A voice came from the smoke and 5 bolts came out of the smoke almost simultaneously. The first two were aimed at Bon Bon's head and chest, the third was sent high into the air, the forth hit the third, redirecting it straight down at Bon Bon and the fifth was faster then the eye could track. You only know it was fired because it pulled a trail of smoke behind it in a line of sorts. It was headed in the opposite direction as Bon Bon and would almost look like a miss fire.
Bon Bon nodded and ran back into the hall. It took a sec to remember which room was which and she accidently looked into the Lyra hate room again before finding the carving room. She found a carving knife, though it more resembled a putty knife. She knew she could make it work though.

The Bon Bon puppet bit down on a few more candies to create a field of gravity that would pull everything down and slow it. The one arrow above her came down even faster and went straight through her wooden body. "Well, technically there's still a little part of her left." Wiz told Lyra. "It's hard to explain, she's still in there, just not alive. Why don't you just test it out? I'm sure you know your friend better than I do."
Miss Craft waited for Bon Bon to return.

The bolt that did go through came out the other side of Bon Bon missing the tip. The others whisked past her and impaled themselves in the other building. Lyra then started running away from Bon Bon as fast as she could, popping out of the smoke with everything still attached to her. She was still pretty quick despite the extra baggage.
Bon Bon came back with the knife in her mouth and pulled out a candy. Focusing on the strings, she linked them all together at the center and then linked the knife to that, cutting clean through them. Everything was still bunched up but in a few seconds the spell would fade and Miss Craft would fall down. Bon Bon linked various parts of the wall to itself to expend the extra energy without breaking anything.
