Dominique and Dalia Harrison pointed at Leif Gulden, standing on a half-wall display, right arm crushed in his own bear trap. Leif looked at his bleeding arm, and began to chuckle.

“I do wish you hadn't turned my own stand against me...” said Leif. “It makes things a little more complicated. But... I have to laugh, really. You decided to let The Turtle free up my right arm. That will be your downfall.”

Leif picked up the pointed gem with his trapped right arm, and pointed it towards the green-haired women. With his left hand, he grabbed the bear trap and began to pry it open.

“With my left hand, all I'm doing is freeing myself,” said Leif. “That doesn't count as 'negative energy', correct?”

The bear trap of Dare To Be Stupid opened slightly – just enough for Leif's hand to slip back through. Leif quickly retracted his right hand, then let go of the bear trap and gem simultaneously. The glittering red jewel was shattered by the force of the stand, and the shards blasted towards the two Harrisons.

Dominique and Dalia stared at the shrapnel, with no clue how to stop or avoid the incoming attack.

A shadowy figure slowly stood up in front of Dominique and Dalia, and let out a yawn. The gem fragments bounced off the being harmlessly, and clattered to the ground. The shadowy figure looked to be made of sparkling obsidian glass, and had a feminine form. A USB drive stuck out of the stand's head.

“N-no way!” thought Dalia. “That's the Remix drive! But then... this stand must be...!”

“So... this is what happened to Shattered Dreams,” mused a voice from behind.

Dalia's head swiveled around to see Georgia Geovana, fully healed from her injuries.

“Normally, Shattered Dreams would have been severely damaged by an attack that fast,” said Georgia. “But it seems I've had a bit of an... upgrade to my toughness. Now, Shattered Dreams: Remix! Blind that diplomat so we can search for th-!”

“Blah blah blah, don’t you have anything better to do than yabber on, bitch?” said the obsidian Shattered Dreams, rolling its eyes.

“I- b- what did you just call me?!” sputtered Georgia. “L-Listen, I don't care if you can talk now! You're my stand, which means-”

“Oh, puh-LEASE. I don't know if you've been paying attention, Geo-Geo, but you've nearly gotten us killed every time you're in charge. Hell, I could fill up a hearse with the number of limbs you've needed re-built. Besides... I don't really 'do' illusions.”

“I... ok then, what do you propose?!”

Shattered Dreams: Remix groaned. It stepped over to behind Dalia, and wrapped its arms around her.  The stand reached into the woman's jacket, and pulled out a cell phone. The bright phone screen lit up the room through the teal mist. Leif squinted from the sudden light. Shattered Dreams: Remix held a middle finger out in front of the phone, creating a shadow on the wall behind Leif. The stand waggled its middle finger, causing its shadow to repeatedly bonk Leif on the back of the head. Leif stumbled off the half-wall, slamming face-first onto the floor. Shattered Dreams: Remix tossed the phone into the air behind it.

“Well, looks like my work here is done,” yawned Shattered Dreams: Remix. “Wake me if you screw this one up.”

Dalia's cell phone spun in the air. In a panic, Georgia dove towards it, but only Yellow Submarine was able to catch it before it reached the ground. Dalia flipped her phone shut, and slid it into her jacket pocket. The two women turned back to the sleeping obsidian stand.

“Er... congrats on the upgrade~ya?” squeaked Dalia.

“Erm... yeah,” said Georgia. “Anyway, we need to find that feather before Leif-”

“You're too late, Geovana!”

The two spun around to see Leif holding up Dominique. His left leg was wrapped around her body, and his right hand held a jagged piece of metal to her throat.

“Now, everyone leave the building, or I'll end this little Harrison reunion!” shouted Leif.

“I- I'm sorry, Dalia! I didn't think he'd sneak up on me...!”

Dalia took a step towards her mother.

“Hey, are you listening to me?!” screamed Leif, pushing the blade closer to Dominique's throat. “Don't take another step towards us!”

“There are a lot of treasures I want~ya,” said Dalia. “A nice, ny~ew bed. A tasty pile of tun~ya. Frid... well, that doesn't matter. Despite all that, there’s only one treasure that rises to the top. The only treasure I want more than anything else... is to see my family again. Salvador... my mum... Uncle Harry~a... maybe even the identity of my biological father. But... it'll never happen~ya. It’s a fantasy. And I'll never move on by clinging to a fantasy.”

Dominique went pale. “Wh-what are you talking about Dalia? I'm real! I know this is a pretty big coincidence, but it's the truth, really! Remember when you were six, and you tried to ride on the dogs at the park?! Remember your first football practice where all the other girls made fun of you?!”

“Yes, Dare To Be Stupid's baiting illusion~yas are incredibly accurate,” said Dalia, continuing to walk towards Leif and his hostage. “The stand recreated my mother perfectly~a. The raspy voice, the neon colors of your flowers, that slightly moldy smell of your skin~ya. This illusion~ya showed me everything I wanted to see. But there's just one issue that Dare To Be Stupid didn't take into account...”

Dominique panted heavily, Dalia mere inches from her face.

“...I can't see stands.”

Leif's eyes opened in shock. He plunged the jagged metal into Dominique's throat as Dalia gently kissed her cheek. Dalia leapt back. Dominique and the two flowers attached to Leif transformed into bear traps, snapping shut on the stand's user.

Blood sprayed out of Leif's body. Dalia swept her hair out of her eyes, as Yellow Submarine re-surfaced from a wall. A compartment of the stand opened up, revealing a collection of gold trinkets. Dalia put on a crown and a necklace. She picked up a golden mirror, and admired herself in its reflection.

“You know what, Georgi~ow?” said Dalia. “I'm really starting to get the appeal of this splurging thing~ya!”

Dalia threw the mirror at Leif, and it transformed into a bear trap on contact. She grabbed handfuls of treasure out of Yellow Submarine, and tossed them at her foe one by one. Leif teetered, struggling to keep his footing with all the traps snapped to him. Dalia pulled the crown off her head, and placed it on Leif. A bear trap pierced through Leif's jaw. The diplomat leaned backwards, and crashed to the ground with a resounding thud.
