When I said that, Cami and Aki stared at me like I was a complete lunatic.

Cami: Your HOMETOWN?!
Me: Yeah......I think.
Aki: Your crazy! You should be MILES away from your hometown!
Cami: Wait, Aki, they have been running for a long time now.
Aki: How long?
Me: 11 years.
Aki: Wait, wait, WAIT. So you're saying that in these 11 years you've been running, you went around the whole world?
Me: I guess so.
Aki: I don't believe it.
Me: I'm pretty sure, I'm telling the truth.
Aki: I mean, yeah you've been running for 11 years but STILL! How can you walk around the ENTIRE world in just 11 years?!
Me: People can fly around the world in about a week.......
Aki: SO?!?!
Cami: *face palms*
Me: U-uhhhhhhhhhhhhh................
???: Light the crystals.........then the way to the piece will be revealed.
Aki: QUITE!
Me: AKI!
Cami: BOTH OF YOU!
Me and Aki: CAMI!

We all looked at each other for a split second before bursting into laughter.

Cami: *calming down* This is why I love you guys!
Me: *still giggling* S-same.
Aki: *calms down*
Cami: C'mon!
Aki: What?
Me: You know what.
Aki: No.
Cami: C'mon!
Aki: NO.
Me: C'mooooooooon!
Aki: NO!
Cami: Pwease? *makes puppy dog eyes*
Aki: *looks uncomfortable*......
Me: *nudging her* You know you love us!
Aki:..............
Cami: *continuing puppy dog eyes*
Aki: *extremely uncomfortable*
Me: *starts tickling Aki*
Aki: *starts giggling hysterically*
Me: Say it!
Aki: *still giggling* N-never!
Me: Cami, I could use some assistance.
Cami: Certainly Glassy. *starts tickling Aki as well*
Aki: *shrieking while giggling*
Cami: Say it.
Aki: N-no!
Me: Say it!
Aki: O-ok ok! I l-love you g-guys t-too!
Me: *stops tickling* Yay.
Cami: *also stops* Yay, we win!
Aki: Don't do that ever again please.
Me: *chuckles* Ok.
Cami: Now, how do we light the crystals?
Me: Like this.

I transformed into my armor. Cami and Aki looked extremely confused.

Cami: How is-
Me: Watch.

I closed my eyes and my armor lit up. I knew Aki and Cami were staring wide eyed, but I knew they weren't prepared for what happened next. I held my hands in front of me making them form a circle. When I did that, I could feel my hands emiting the light in the shape of an orb. I opened my eyes, and shot the orb of light, as a beam, at the crystal on the roof. That crystal reflected the light and shot it at the next crystal, causing the same thing to happen. Each crystal was hit with the beam and it reflected the light. Soon the beam split into two and shone on two walls on opposite sides of the room. As they did, the walls opened up to two more crystal filled rooms and the light shone into them. I wasn't really expecting the others to emerge from the rooms though. From the left, Mugman, Boris, and Felix emerged and stared in awe as I continued to emit light. From the right, Cuphead, Bendy, and Raphael emerged staring in what looked like disbelief. When all three rooms were lit, the beams made their way back to the center room. They both shone on the ground in the same area indicating that we had found the place where the piece rested. Cami and Felix were immediately digging at the ground and before long, they pulled out the piece. I stopped shining the light and the caves went dark again.

Cami: We've got the next piece!
Felix: Good job Glassy!
Me: Oh, it was nothing!
Bendy: Wait, I thought that all THREE of you were the key to finding the piece, what did Cuphead and Mugman do?
Me: They were beacons for the beam of light.
Everyone: Huh?
Me: If they weren't in the other rooms, my light wouldn't have made it to those crystals.
Bendy: Meaning we wouldn't have been able to find the piece.
Me: *nods*

We suddenly heard the voice again. This time, I wasn't prepared for what would happen.

???: Well done my children.
Cuphead: Children?
Mugman:???
Me: I know that voice from somewhere.
???: Indeed you do.....
Me: Who are you?
???: Look behind you and see......

I turned around to see a holographic image of a woman with a cup for a head with long, blond hair that was braided, kind, black eyes, and a long, flowing, green robe.

Me: *gasps* M-mom?!
Cuphead: M-mom?
Mugman: 0o0
Mom: Yes, it's me.
Me: How did-
Mom: I knew you would come here, so I put this hologram here.
Mugman: Where-
Mom: Am I? I'm afraid I can't tell you that yet.
Cuphead: But why not?
Mom: You'll find me eventually on your quest.
Me: Our quest?
Mom: You will find a piece where I am. Just follow the map.
Me: *nods* We will.

We started to leave, but our mom wasn't done yet.

Mom: Wait, Cuphead....
Cuphead: *turns around* Huh?
Mom: I'm proud of you.
Cuphead: What? Why?
Mom: For being selfless when your sister needed help.
Cuphead: *smiles*
Mom: And Mugman, I'm proud that you never left your brother's side.
Mugman: *smiles while rubbing back of neck*
Mom: And Glassy, you showed true courage when your friends and family were in danger, you put others before yourself all the time. And I am extremely proud of you for that.
Me: *chuckles awkwardly*
Mom: I'm proud to be your mother. And I love you all, never forget that. I hope to see you soon. *hologram turns off*
Me: See ya, mom.

We all left the cavern feeling happy for being able to find the next piece. We were discussing on where to go next and I suggested that we stay in the town right behind the cavern. As we made our way there, we heard yet ANOTHER voice, but this one.......struck terror into us. Cuphead, Mugman, and I froze with fear.

???: Well, well, well. If it isn't the debtors and the prisoner. What brings you back to your hometown? You should have known that coming back here was a bad idea. Now I can kill everyone else, and get my prisoner back.

We all turned slowly knowing who it was. When we completely turned around, we were staring straight at the guy we had been trying to avoid for 11 years, we were staring at the devil himself.
