Lilith and Shantae

Location: Joker's Funland

Time flew by and Lilith could be found writing in some sort of book, maybe to take her mind off everything happening at the moment. She looked rather contemplative as she wrote in this book and didn't notice Shantae until she spoke up. "What are you doing?" She asked curiously, that caused Lilith to freak out and yelp from the shook which also startled Shentae a bit. "Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't know what you were writing was private!" Lilith gave her an annoyed look but forgiven her anyways. "I-It's fine, I just...don't want you looking, or anyone for that matter." She put the book away and this led Shantae to believe that it was some sort of diary, but Lilith wouldn't want her to expect that as she was correct with that assumption, and that she didn't want to dump any more personal information on her.

At this point trying to find Superman was a lost cause as there wasn't a trace of him in the vacant cloudy night sky so Lex suggests that they should head back to Lexcorp. Admittedly, Shantae and Lilith where starting to cater more trust on him but they still had some suspicions, however a loud high-pitched static noise would interrupt everyone's peace. Most resorted to covering their ears as Shantae let out an annoyed groan. "Agh, What's going on!?" Lilith responded. "I don't know, I assume the intercoms must be highjacked?" She says raising her voice a bit so she could hear more clearly. Luckily the static would be drowned out by another more tolerable noise, it sounded like upbeat carnival music and was accompanied by a new voice with a similar mood. He lets out a hardy laugh as the gang quickly realize that a missile was heading their way, not to mention that it was also spraying outward from it and caused everyone outside the plane to choke and drop down, this wasn't looking good.

With the missiles hitting one of the wings the jet was sent spiraling down, there was seemingly no hope left for our heroes and the jet had crash landed, but surprisingly enough everyone got up unharmed. Lilith quickly got up and rushed to Shantae who was still half-unconscious, she was the most concerned for her. "Sh-Shantae, are you okay!?" She exclaimed worryingly, she picked herself off the ground, even with a few bruises and a small cut on her arm she was seemingly fine. "Y-yeah, just...injured." She said starting to regain a little more of her senses. Lilith let out a sigh of relief and gave her a hug, although still scared for her, she was at least glad that her friend was still alive along with everyone else of course.

"Okay, let's see if we can get someone to hel..." Lilith stopped herself as the crew found themselves in some sort of abandoned fun fair. Joel was also fairly stable and asked if everyone was fine, Lilith nodded, not giving much of an answer as she was taken aback by the scenery and that she was still focused on Shantae. However Happy Chaos and Nahobino seemed to have completely disappeared for some reason, what's up with that? A few new faces were introduced to so someone would have to say something. "Um...hi." Lilith greeted with a nervous smile, Shantae just kind of looked at her with a confused expression.

Lilith and Shantae

Location: Luthor's Ship

Shantae's feathers didn't do much of anything aside from knocking Firefly of his balance again, however this battle wouldn't last much longer as Firefly's face was burnt off by Superman's lasers and a familiar voice was heard. A large jet landed near the group with Lex Luthor stepping outside and ordered everyone to get inside, the ghost and genie duo didn't want to stay around and pursue anyone else so they had no other choice but to follow Lex's orders. And speaking of the two, Shantae was still thinking about how protective Lilith was back in that alleyway so she asked about this.

"Oh...well, that's hard to explain." Lilith said trying to come up with some sort of explanation. "I guess I'm just worried that you might get hurt and it could be my fault. You really seem to care about me and losing you would be devastating." Shantae listened to her explanation and once she was done she added in. "Wow, I never really knew how much you valued our friendship until now. Just try not to worry too much for me, I went up against a lot worse and came out fine!" Lilith didn't really know how to respond at first, she was still scared of her getting hurt but her reassurance did help at least a little bit. "Thanks." She said briefly before giving a bit of a smile.

Now that the jet has taken of everyone was left to discuss with each other, as per Shantae she decided to meet up with Spamton again as her and Lilith only met up with for a few seconds. "Hey I believe we met once before right?"

Lilith and Shantae

Location: Metropolis City (Firefly Fight)

Unfortunately Lilith's attack didn't do much aside from throwing Firefly off balance a bit and his attention shifted straight towards her, but before he could get a hit on her Duke Nukem threw a edgy teenager at him, weird method of attack but at least it diverted his attention from her for a bit. The battle continued as everyone tried to stop Firefly whichever means possible, though another person was about the enter the ring unexpectedly, and without someone's permission. Shantae watched everyone battle it out with their opponent and thought it would be a good time to join in on the fun.

Lilith continued to attack Firefly she suddenly saw some sort of harpie creature shoot a swarm of feathers at him. "Wha-Who are you!?" She asked in fright, having no idea that it was actually Shantae who just used another one of her transformations. "Don't worry Lilith, it's just me again!" She said in reassurance, Lilith calmed down slightly and responded, she would recognize that voice anywhere. "Oh, didn't except you to be back so soon."

Lilith and Shantae

Location: Metropolis City (Firefly Fight)

Things weren't getting any better once Joel's group escaped the building they were in before, as a new threat would appear to make a fiery entrance. Say hello to Firefly, a guy with a jetpack strapped to his back and a flamethrower to boot, flying through the air he left a trail of fire in his wake and would burn a large group of people if not saved in time, the group would escape the building at the same time Firefly flew though the air so Joel warned everyone to find some cover, that made potentially everyone on the team to do so. "Lilith follow me!" She alarmed, the two ran off and luckily they were able to find a nearby alleyway to seek shelter in, there wasn't many options anyway.

The two would hide there out of Firefly's sights as Lilith put up another shield to protect the both of them, Shantae was clearly quite exhausted from a glance. "We just cant catch a break can we?" She said panting while looking to see the flying pyromaniac in the sky. "You seem tired, do you need a break?" Lilith asked looking a little worried about the genie's well being. "No no I'm fine, I just need some time to catch my breath." With that Shantae took a few deep breaths while the spectral lass tried her best to calm her down, all be it not very well, she's not super good at comforting people.

"Alright, I think I'm rested up enough." She said looking a little more freshened up, Lilith looked over to firefly as well and then back to her. "Hmm, maybe stay here until your fully ready to help out, as for me...well yeah." That confused her though, she was pretty ready to kick some firebug ass but it was like the ghost was being over protective with her, it's a nice effort but strange. Before Shantae could get a word out Lilith rushed off to swat some bugs, she kind of stood there for a bit before deciding to step out and joining in later. "I guess there's nothing stopping me to get out of here is there?" She thought to herself.

Lilith went up behind him and summoned a few of her spikes and sent them out to damage his jet pack, might be a risky move but what else is there to do?

Lilith and Shantae

Location: Mad Hatter's Diner

Shantae wasn't the only one to console the poor little ghost as a few more of the other members chimed in and said something similar, Shantae smiled and attempted to lighten her up again. "See, there's no reason for you to eat yourself up about what you did!" Lilith paused for a bit, part of her felt like they were just saying this for pity reasons but it still felt nice to hear so she thanked them for the thought. "Uh, yeah...thanks" She said hesitantly. Right then, now that the pity party is over, it was about time that they leave and save some more lives. One problem however, the door was locked so they had to find a way to unlock it, luckily Ben and Caption Falcon were able to get it open, though the caption found a more...creative way of unlocking it.

Oh well, at least we can leave now. Oh wait nevermind, there were some explosives attached to The Hatter and left a nasty blast, thankfully with Ben being able to protect everyone from the blow. The weird part however was that after the exposition and the smoke cleared there was no trace of the hatted wacko at all, no blood, no hat, nothing. Everyone must be pretty confused, Lilith and Shantae sure did seem to be. "And to think things couldn't get any more outlandish." Shantae said looking over to where The Hatter previously was. "Well dead or not we should still go back to saving everyone." Lilith mentioned

Lilith and Shantae

Location: Mad Hatter's Diner

So good news, Grey threw a punch square at The Hatter's ugly mug and knocked him out, though he was still alive after that since he was still breathing, Sougo was back to his un-mind controlled self, and everyone was back at the dining room, which looked all old and decerped. Bad news? Well Lilith started to ponder on a certain thought, believing that this whole battle would've even happened if she hadn't intervened earlier. Sure she was able to help everyone out by removing some of the masks from the henchman but she still believed that this whole situation was he fault, it's a scary thought to be sure.

Lilith scanned everyone and took a deep breath and prepared to tell everyone what's on her mind. "H-Hey guys, I'm...sorry for earlier." She said sounding a little more somber then usual. "I knew I shouldn't have intervened and just let things take care of themselves, and...and...I-" Suddenly Shantae would stop Lilith form continuing any further and try to cheer her up a bit. "Lilith calm down! This wasn't your fault, you did what you had to do and you helped us all get out of it. Just try to calm down and think about what I told you."

Thanks to Shantae's help Grey was able to get a hold of Sougo's buckle and unfortunately that caused an explosion out of nowhere that launched the both of them flying, this also reverted him back into his regular form, the explosion left her to fall to the ground and transform herself back to normal. "Uh, what...just...happened?" She said as her head started to feel heavy, she wasn't aware of this yet but for every mask the group pulled off they got more and more tired, let's hope they all don't pass out by the end of this. "Wait." Lilith said as she noticed that Grey was holding Sougo's buckle. "What is that thing?"

Well that doesn't matter now as luckily they were able rescue all the henchmen and pull through, leading The Hatter to go through a mental breakdown, and it turns out Date was able to stop this crazy illusion by shooting the clock they were standing on and bring them back to the dining room. All seemed to be good until The Hatter appeared back with a burst of red. "Alright We've had enough." Lilith said tired and annoyed. "Just let us go already."

It looks like Shantae and Lilith's idea worked, once the masks came off for the separate individuals they immediately stopped attacking and were free from The Hatter's curse. "There's...a lot to explain." Lilith said to the one person who asked where they were. Answering questions was not important right now because there were more people to free from this curse.

One by one The Hatter's henchman drifted away from his control and you could guess that he was pretty livid about this, demanding that they stop this nonsense immediately, but obviously they weren't going to listen to this wacko, and just in case Lilith decided to check up on Shantae to see how she's holding up. "Uh Shantae, how are things going over there?"

"Haven't tapped out yet." She said still trying to mess with Sougo and keep him occupied.

Lilith and Shantae

Location: Mad Hatter's Arena

Grey suggests to the group that they should focus on The Hatter's henchman and he focused on Sougo and while he says this Shantae was thinking of some sort way to combat him while trying not to critically damage him, I mean sure she did ram into him in her elephant form, but thankfully that only just threw him off balance and didn't damage him much. She then thinks of some sort of idea and quickly acts upon it. "Don't worry Grey, I've got your back!" Shantae then preforms one of her dances again and this time turns into a small monkey, she uses this opportunity to climb up onto the Sougo's head as some sort of diversion.

Lilith meanwhile was still doing her own thing, now taking to account what Grey said and thankfully not taking a life yet, but luckily Shantae came up with another idea. She then calls over to Lilith and informs her of her speculation, still hanging on to the robot's head no less. "Lilith over here, I think these bunny henchman might be controlled because of those masks, try taking them off!"

"Uh...okay!" Lilith says timidly as she snapped her finger to remove some of the bunny masks the henchman dawned.

And a bad idea it was, the moment that Lilith threw Joel's tea cup across the room was when The Hatter had enough of everyone's shenanigans, so he decided to take matters into his own hand and deal with this the hard way. Everything went black for a while after that until they woke up to find themselves standing on a giant stopwatch, endlessly falling through the air. Joel and Shantae seemed to be pretty confused about this whole scenario with Shantae following up to Joel's equal puzzlement
"Wha-What's going on!?" She said in a frightful manner. But this ordeal wasn't going to get any better as The Hatter and his henchman suddenly appeared, along with Sougo, who was under the control of the crazy hat guy from drinking that tea. Maybe Lilith decision wasn't completely off board.

So now the battle has officially begun with the bunny mask henchman and Sougo going on the attack, Lilith attacked the henchman using some of her spirit spikes and Shantae would notice that Sougo was about to attack Grey with his claw, thinking quickly she did one of her signature dances and turned herself in an elephant to charge after the armored individual.
