Velvet: You're a remarkable little creature, ali-human...however, I'm afraid you're not gonna be able to leave this place anytime soon...not until I have all of your species magic in my palm

Shadow (weakly): Wh- what?

*Velvet tosses shadow onto the floor, where floyd's diamond prison was while velvet cackled*

Shadow (weakly): You...*groans in pain* will NEVER have my sisters' magic...

*Velvet smirks before she makes a puff of smoke appear in front of her while she cackled*

Velvet: Oh I won't will I? well we'll see about that...

*Velvet emerges from the smoke however, she was around shadow's size and was now a pop troll*

Velvet: When I walk past a mirror, I scare myself

Velvet: I'm the queen of mean

Velvet: Don't care 'bout anybody else but moi

Velvet: Isn't that lovely?

Velvet: Don't ask me to be nice, I don't want to

Velvet: I don't play fair!~

Velvet: *Grabs shadow by the back of her shirt and lifts her up* I'm givin' you the heat you can't handle!

Velvet: And this chick don't care...

Velvet: *Throws shadow into a wall, causing her to yelp in pain* I'm a villain!

Veneer: Glamorous and mean~

Velvet: I'm a villain!

Veneer: Evil as can be~

Velvet: Darling, I'm a villain!

Veneer: Make you shiver through your teeth~

Velvet: Don't you cry now, it will all be fine

Velvet: I'm a villain

Velvet: I'm a villain~

*Suddenly she reappears behind floyd's diamond prison as an ali-human*

Velvet: Hush little pupper, don't say a word

Velvet: Else you'll get cursed~

Velvet: Can you feel the flames gettin' closer?

Velvet: Ain't that the worst?

Velvet: Don't ask me to be nice, I don't want to

Velvet: I don't play fair!~

Velvet: I'm givin' you the heat you can't handle!

Velvet: And this chick don't care!

*Velvet flies down and transforms into a pop troll while slowly walking towards shadow who was cowering in fear*

Velvet: I'm a villain!

Veneer: Glamorous and mean!

Velvet: *Transforms into a ali-human with bat wings* I'm a villain!

Veneer: Evil as can be!

Velvet: *returns to her true form, though she was still around shadow's size* I'm a villain!

Veneer: Make you shiver through your teeth!

Velvet: Don't you cry now, it will all be fine

Velvet: I'm a villain~ *forms a ball of laughing gas and blows it in shadow's direction causing her to cough and become woozy*

Velvet: Ooh, I'm a villain~

Velvet: I'm a villain...

*Finally, shadow collapses on the ground and passes out*

Velvet: *lets out a cackle* Ohh I'm so scary

*A few hours later*

*Shadow was starting to regain consciousness and she blinked a bit to get a better look at her surroundings, as it turned out, she was trapped in floyd's diamond prison*

Floyd: H- hey, you okay?

*Shadow grew startled when she heard floyd's voice and she jumped back in surprise as she yelped*

Floyd: Whoa whoa whoa- hey hey, it's okay- it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise *holds his hand out before kneeling on the ground* it's okay...

*Shadow was hesitant but she slowly walked over to floyd and rested her chin on floyd's palm*

Floyd: There you go, see? I'm your friend...I'm gonna protect you from velvet okay?

*Shadow nodded before floyd pulled her close*

Floyd: I'm gonna do everything I can do to keep you safe...I promise

*Meanwhile, back on Paradiso Anew*

*Molly was exploring the palace with branch and poppy*

Molly: Oh- look at this place! ma why don't you have a palace like this- it's huge! I'd give my left wing to have a palace like this!

Poppy: Well I haven't actually considered it before...but now I'm thinking of getting one

Molly: You should build one, and use frosting

Branch: Molly- NO, don't start this up again

Molly: What thing?

Branch: The frosting thing! you need polymers to build something molly, POLYMERS

Molly: What- is frosting not a polymer?

Branch: You know frosting ain't no polymer

Poppy: *giggles* You guys are so cute!

Branch: What- no!

Molly: We are NOT!

Branch: We're not cute!

Molly: We're just a pair of homies who play our own rules!

Branch: Exactly! we're loose cannons she and I

Poppy (baby-talk): Suuure, wittle cutie with his even wittler best fwiend *starts rubbing branch's head*

Molly: Who you callin' "wittle"? he ain't wittle!...he a tol boi >:3

Branch: Bruh-

Molly: What? it's true! your le tol autistic friend and I'm le smol ADHD friend

Branch: You're the same size as me when you're standing on your two back feet

Molly: Still I rest my case-

*Then molly's ear started twitching and she looked to a huge door and they opened it and they gasp in amazement at what they saw*

Molly: Whoa-ho-ho!

*There was a huge party in a lagoon, aquatic ali-humans were playing trolly-ball, splashing around in the water and at the center, was a giant clam shaped stage with lights around it*

Molly: Look at this! someone throwin' a party back here? 'cause if so, it's missing one thing...chicks...and a lot of 'em!

Branch: Okay molly calm down, we know you're a lesbian and all, but dial it back a bit will you?

Molly: Oh c'mon branch, if there's a party...there WILL be chicks...and when there's chicks...THAT'S when the lesbianism within my system bursts in like a wrecking ball

*Then a spotlight shines of the clam-shell stage and music starts playing*

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, paradiso anew's very own Thorne Skydancer!

*Then Thorne, a silver and metallic purple aquatic ali-human with a jade green tail appears on the stage*

Thorne: All my attention, baby, my extra time

Thorne: There's nothing I won't give you, girl, if you were mine

Thorne: Six million times, I'm thinking 'bout your face

Thorne: You know I'm crazy for you, let me count the ways

Molly:...Smooth

Branch: Yeah...you wanna go see what else we can do around here kid?

Molly: Oh yeah- totally, let's go!

*Branch and molly start to run off*

Poppy: You two be careful alright? don't accept anything from strangers! and don't go anywhere with them!

Branch: We know poppy!

Molly: Yeah we'll be careful!

*Branch and Molly run out of sight before poppy crosses her arms and shakes her head playfully with a little sigh*

*Then Melodia appears behind poppy*

Melodia: Ah, nothing brings a woman's joy other than seeing her lover and her child bonding huh?

Poppy: Oh! melodia, hi! what are you doing here?

Melodia: Well, I just came to see how you were doing

Poppy: Oh, I'm doing just great, just watching my boyfriend and his bestie bonding

Melodia: Hehe, I can see that...anyway, I have a question for you

Poppy: Oh! sure what is it?

Melodia: Since you're solo here, would you like to know about the history of how ali-humans came into existence billions of years ago?

Poppy: *gasps* Omigosh YES

Melodia: *giggles* Come, follow me

*Melodia said as she motioned poppy to follow her*
