ooc: Seems to be working. "This is all your doing Miss Craft!" Wiz yelled. "Isn't she!?" Wiz yelled towards Bon Bon and Lyra. "Isn't that what gives us strength? What makes us equals. We are monsters. Show her Lyra! Show her that nothing can get between you and your pray, even her!"

"NO!" Lyra yelled at Wiz, her hang glowing again as she did, "I care more about Bon Bon in this moment then about killing you." "That's right. Now you need to calm down and turn off that Celestia Forsaken ability." Bon Bon said, trying to ignore Wiz behind him. She had hoped Miss Craft would start talking to him by now, but her main focus was Lyra and keeping her calm.

"You lie!" Wiz yelled at Lyra. "Wiz, please listen to me." Craft said shakily, but her whole body slammed to the ground, pulling even Guv down with her. "Stay out of this!" Wiz yelled. "You know I'll come back if you don't kill me Lyra! I'll come back and kill Bon Bon for real, I'll come back and kill every friend you make. You have to kill me! You have to!"

Lyra gritted her teeth so hard there was an audible crack as one of her molars literally broke under the pressure, "SHUT UP!!! I DON'T HAVE TO DO A THING YOU SAY!!! YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!!!" Lyra yelled at the top of her lungs, her hoof glowing all the brighter with her rage. Bon Bon turned around and put her arm in front Lyra, "I won't let either of you partake in any more stupidly. Drop this now, you're not getting what you want." she said defiantly.

"You will do what I want!" Wiz yelled. "I'll make you do what I want!" His aura glowed brighter and Bon Bon body started to move on its own. "Kill me or I kill her NOW!" Bon Bon's hoof reached towards her throat, but before they came close Guv's huge hand grabbed hold of them and held them still, his other hand holding on to Bon Bon's shoulder to keep her still. "No Wiz." Natahsa was at Wiz side and she bit into his front hoof to try and stop him. "You two as well? You'll turn against me as well?" Wiz asked not even flinching from the bite as blood ran down his leg. "No Wiz." Craft managed to say through gritted teeth. "They love you, they just want the old Wiz back. The one that always helped them. They don't want you to do this. You're too important to them and me. You're wanted by friends that love you. Isn't that enough for you? For either of you?" She asked both Wiz and Lyra.

Lyra's eye's were still fixed on Wiz. She didn't understand her hatred of him, she only knew it burned hotter then the sun. Seeing, hearing, or even smelling him was enough to set her off... but in all this, in her peripheral view, Bon Bon was still there beside her. She'd already gone too far multiple times and this one pony still stuck by her side. The conflict was so hard and tore away at her very essence. Eventually, with a great deal of effort and restraint, Lyra sat herself down, her hoof still aglow and burning a hole in the ground, but her stance being one of both calm collective and submission. There was still more restraint to maintain this stance, and she braced for the time with Wiz would talk again, but she knew her decision. She wasn't going to let Wiz be right at the very least, and she wasn't going to fail her friend either.

"No! You can't!" Wiz yelled in a desperate voice on the verge of breaking when he saw Lyra sitting down. "You can't do this to me! We're suppose to be equals. You've never cared about anypony but yourself. You would have killed me without any remorse, any feeling. You showed me that! You showed me how I'd die by your hoof. I can't loose again." The bonds holding on to Craft and Bon Bon disappeared and they could both move freely again. Red tears streamed down Wiz face. "I did everything to be just like you! To be just as strong as you! I admired you! Why!? Why wont you kill me!?" Wiz whole body was shaking as he felt his plan crumbling away from him.

Lyra again bit her tongue, and sided with silence, though every moment he spoke it irked her more. At this point, however, a new feeling peaked in her that she didn't know. It was small, and short, but it pinged in her heart like a burn so hot it felt cold at the same time. Bon Bon looked to Wiz, "Because you deserve to live and your friends deserve you back." Bon Bon said, trying to sound as kind as possible, and succeeding relatively well given the circumstances. Her normal harsh, logical, tone still fought it's way in there though.

"But I failed!" Wiz said through the tears. "I had powers like you, I was stronger than you and I still failed! I'm a failure! I'm always going to be a failure!" Craft got to her feet and took a few shaky steps towards them. "That's not true Wiz. You've always looked out for Guv and Natasha. Even when my power drove you away from us you could not abandon them. Your power does not make you who you are, you make you who you are. And that doesn't make you a failure, because you are important to us, we need you." Wiz shook his head and looked back up towards Lyra. "Why won't you talk to me!? Why wont you tell me how much you hate me? What you'll do to me? How awful I am!? Why!?"

Lyra looked more so away from Wiz, but managed the strength to speak without exploding, "Because I don't know why I hate you. I don't know why I want to kill you. And I don't know how awful you were, only how awful you're being now. And I don't want to do anything without reason and reduce myself to being an animal following blind instincts." She said slowly, her voice low and raspy with her inner rage.

"But... But I..." Wiz fell down and threw his arms over his face as he started crying loudly. Black and red strings burst out of him, swinging wildly at everything around him until they all headed towards Miss Craft and entered her through the cut on her chest. Craft was silent for a while until the cut in her chest started glowing red. What little emotion that was on her face and in her voice left her. "It's done." She said putting a hoof over her wound.

Bon Bon sat down and her serious face floated to the surface, though she was fatigued by now and not up for a fight. She at least tried to look the part, "Miss Craft... Are we going to have more problems?" she said and Lyra looked back to see what was happening.

"I am a puppet once more." Miss Craft said. "The feelings I had are gone. I can't use my powers for good if I don't know what good is and it seems they have a tendency towards evil. I am a danger to those I care about as long as I'm alive." She took her hoof away from her chest and closed her eyes. "I am ready Bon Bon, do what you must."

Bon Bon sat silent, closing her eyes and folding back her ears as she bulled it over. Lyra, feeling a tension leave the air, started to get some of her color back, though her cutie mark was still not gone. her hoof wasn't aglow anymore either, though her body not glowed with the sickly color. That aura, now, had a calmer energy to it and didn't spark like it used to. "You have already been punished for your crimes." Bon Bon finally spoke up, "And I won't punish you for a crime you Might commit. If you are worried, can I offer a logical, possible suggestion?"

Miss Craft opened her eyes. "I'll listen to any advice you give me Bon Bon." Zenny walked up silently behind Miss Craft and looked straight at Bon Bon. Her eyes still having that eeriness about them.

Bon Bon opened her eyes as well and focused on Miss Craft, "You still view Guv, Natasha, Wiz, Zenny, and Doodle as your friends, yes? And at least three of them have complete control over their emotions, at least for the most part. So use them as filters for your actions. Then, every decision you make will have that moral input. How does that sound? To all of you?" Bon Bon asked and looked to the whole group assembled before them.

"But, would they?" Craft asked uncertain. "I would help you." Guv replied almost immediately. "And Wiz would too." Natasha sat up next to Wiz, who was still crying. The wound on his leg where she bit him wasn't bleeding anymore, but still went unnoticed. The little dragon nodded as well.

"See, you have friends who will be your emotions for you. And you'll still have friends like you've always wanted, even it you don't understand why. Surely this is a reasonable compromise." Bon Bon said in a more uplifted tone.

"Maybe you are right Bon Bon." Miss Craft said. "If I can't feel myself, maybe I can feel through my friends. Thank you Bon Bon. If it's not too much there is something I would like to ask you?"

"What is it? I'll answer is I can." Bon Bon said, glad inside that things were going well, but stayed calm outside.

"Would it be too much to ask if you'd hug this cold, dead puppet?" Craft asked. "As my friend?"

Bon Bon couldn't help but smile, though the question caught her really off guard, "I don't see why not. I trust you that much at least." she said, getting up and slowly making her way to Craft. She was a little nervous and even a bit on alert, but tried to continue to appear calm.

Craft lifted a hoof, not sure herself how to start the hug and waited for Bon Bon to hug her.

When Bon Bon reached Miss Craft she reached around her back and squeezed her tight, though it was awkward because she was so tall.

Craft put her hoof around Bon Bon and hugged her back. "Thank you Bon Bon." She told her. "There is one more thing I want to ask you. Could you please take Natasha with you and look after her? Wiz and I, and Guv, have many problems we will need to face. Natasha however doesn't have the same problems we have and it will help her if somepony like you were there for her. You can help her more than I can, without taking away who she is."

That would be up you you, her, and the rest of your group, at the very least her. I'm ok with it if it's what you both agree to do.

"It would really be better for her." Craft told Bon Bon. "I want her to have a good future and we can't give it to her, not right now. I will talk to her." Craft turned towards Wiz and Natasha, but something caught her eye and she turned around completely to see Zenny standing behind her quietly. Her eyes widened and she was speechless. The wooden griffon took a step forward. "Zenny?" Craft said, her voice almost a whisper. "How can this be? The link between us is gone, how can you move?" Zenny walked up to Craft and looked her in the eyes. "Zenny? Doodle? you're both in there? How...?" Craft paused for a second before continuing. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't know, I never..." In the blink of an eye the griffon threw her arms around Craft's neck and pulled her into a hug. Craft was stunned silent and couldn't say anything even after the griffon let go. Zenny looked at Bon Bon and nodded her thanks. She then sat down and for the last time closed her eyes. The wooden puppet fell to the ground, motionless and soulless.

Bon Bon put her hoof over her mouth, the shock pushing her over the edge as she couldn't hold back the tears. At this point, she was genuinely sad and cried quietly at the site. She wasn't even considering Miss Crafts, Wiz's, Natasha's or Guv's thoughts, as she'd grown to trust the griffon and this reveal actually hit her rather deep considering. Lyra was beside herself, unable to come to terms with the scene before her and shifting back a ways. She wanted to run away from this atmosphere, but didn't want to make a scene either. She just sort of watched, the shock drawing her back to her old self and her cutie mark finally reappearing as the sickly aura faded to nothing.

"After everything I did to you, you still forgave me." Miss Craft said as she finally found her words. "I'll try my best to be a better friend, I promise." She turned towards Natasha who was looking very sad. The little dragon wasn't completely sure what just happened, but the sadness all around her effected her. Miss Craft walked up to her and lied down next to her, putting a hoof over her back. "You like Bon Bon, don't you Natasha?" The dragon nodded her head. "I want you to go stay with her. She'll help you with your power and be a good friend." Natasha looked suddenly frightened and grabbed Craft's leg. "It's okay. I'm sorry I can't keep my promise to you. I can't take away your power or give you a voice, but Bon Bon is going to help you. She'll protect you. You saw how strong she is." Miss Craft stroked her hoof over the dragon's head. "And we're going to see each other again. I'll take care of Wiz for you. Once he's better and back to his old self we'll come to visit you. And you can show us all what you've learned, alright? Will you do that for me? And for Wiz and Guv?" Reluctantly the dragon nodded and berried her face in Craft's chest. Craft looked over at Bon Bon and nodded.

Bon Bon closed her eyes and nodded slowly. She turned to Lyra, "Natasha will be coming with us, no but's. Besides, we've caused enough trouble for one moment, we owe them this." Bon Bon finished and Lyra only scoffed and turned away from everyone and plopped down.
