An:

-slight mixing of Dream No More and Embrace The Void endings

The dreamers had slept since the Pale Principals take over. It was time to wake them up.

One by one Ghost tracked the dreamers down. And one by one, their essence collected. Now, no one sleeps.

~

Dubbed 'The Black Egg', this was where Ghost stood.

Hornet, a result of the dalliance, said she would not go into the egg. It would drain her. But if an opportunity presented itself, she would come and help.

Ghost walked in.

~

The lost Hunter King. He had grown. But he was sick. Ghost intended to fix that.

The fight was unlike anything Ghost had seen before. Constantly having to dodge. Trying to get a hit in. It was the fight of a lifetime. The fight for the fate of Hallownest High.

Until finally, Ghost got in a blow that allowed Hornet to come in and restrain Hunter.

Essence floated out.

The hallucinogen was injected.

Transported to the mind of Hunter King.

Up the platforms, and to the challenge.

~

If Hunter King was a a fight of a lifetime. Then fighting Ms. Radiance was the fight of a century.

Sweeping beams of light. Homing projectiles. Spiked floor. Ms. Radiance had prepared well.

All the while, the fight climbed in elevation.

Lasers sweeping the platforms.

Finally, the last blow.

Hunter King's dream self, and Ghost's dream self appeared. Slapping Ms. Radiance into oblivion.

Why did you curse us so? You poisoned us with your anger.

The dead siblings dream self appeared. Cheering silently. Finally ending the reign of the Infected. Letting Hallownest High into a new era.

Ms. Radiance exploded into essence.

~

Hornet awoke in the egg, void and infection shriveling away.

Ghost lie there, mission accomplished. But at what cost? For Hallownest High? It worked for Ghost. So it would work for Hornet.

Hallownest High would go into a new dawn, prospering, not letting their history inhibit them.
