Battle of the mind - Finale Showdown

"Please! I can't lose my best friend!" Mary said with tears streaming down her face.

First went in the wooden toy train. It rammed into Bloody Mary at breakneck speeds.

Coughing up blood she told her, "You brat! What's one friend in exchange for more?"

"Mr. Bear is everything to me! He was there when you weren't sister. When I was lonely I could always hold him and think happy thoughts." Mary cried out.

The train kept going, carrying her into a trap set up by the other toys. There stood the toy soldier and Mr. Bear himself. With a loud bang the toy soldier shot out bullets made entirely from Mary's imagination. In other words, it was not a nen projectile, but something stronger. The bullets tore through her leg and right shoulder. In the meantime the stuffed bear took the chance to swat her away with the power of the demon dog from earlier.

Filled with bloodlust and rage Bloody Mary's eyes turned red and the world seemed to lose its beauty, "I'll kill you!"

With a thunderous clap the two worlds became one, A world of death and a world of life. Here both could unleash their full power in a fight for dominance over the body.

Both summoned their creatures in a full scale battle, one used the corpses of those that were previously killed, and the other used a world of imaginary toys.

Even though one was gravely injured she fought to kill, while the other one fought merely to win. It was a stalemate. Corpses falling left and right, toys being ripped to shreds, yet because of the nature of the world, they would revive endlessly. Both kings were in an endless check, in fact there was no real reason to continue fighting at this point. The voice's plan of mutual destruction did not work, it had already been used to bind the two souls together. By this point another day had already passed outside.

"So do you still have faith in your precious student?" Asked Zecht with a smug smile.

"It broke, Soul grip is no longer in effect, the two souls have become one. However, before it broke I could feel my student's anger rising. Right now, most likely both are in an imaginary life or death battle. Until one falls they won't realize that the battle is pointless. You can't fully kill the other if you still remain. Binded together as one, what a nightmare."

"I see, so basically, what you're saying is that my illusion has already fallen?" Asked Zecht with surprise plastered over his face.

"Of course. It was only natural that it would fall to the power of two souls. If you use Gyo you can see just how much her nen has changed."

"You're right, it's no longer the white everyone emits, its strange, at some moments it's a sickly red and black, and at other moments it's a beautiful yellow." Zecht said.

"Those changes represents who's winning, now have you noticed anything else? It's very obvious once you see it."

"You're right the right side of her hair has become platinum, while her left eye has become red."

"These are the repercussions of fusing two entirely different personalities. Although the body has been stabilized the mind will begin to corrode with two different personalities, maybe."

"What do you mean by, maybe?" Asked Zecht.

With a cryptic tone he said, "Only time will tell, indeed only time will tell."

"You will fall by my hands!" Screamed Bloody Mary to her other self.

"Sister please! Please understand! I can't lose Mr. Bear, the voice will take him away from me!"

"And where is this voice huh?! He's clearly abandoned you! Now you're stuck with me!"

"No, no, he isn't gone! He's still in my toy soldier see?" She said while pointing to a broken toy. "Friend! Please say something! Prove to her that you're still here!"

However it was all in vain, as they say "A life for a life." Because of this revelation the battle had stopped and in a poof of smoke the toys disappeared. And with a flash of light Mary's head was torn off from her body.

"Farewell sister."

"Wait! Even if you only use me please don't leave me here alone!"

For them it was an unexpected development, for starters they had made an agreement for one to make friends, and for another, neither could die without the other dying as well. It was through this that a book appeared before the two, it was titled The Book of Toys. By some twisted God the two were forever one with this book. From there a game with the world as the prize began, with their chosen toys in hand they would rule, two as one and one for everything.

Shorter chapter, but after this the doll Assassin arc will really start. (See auxiliary chapter for what the Nen ability will be in the end) Also sorry about the poor fighting scene, I’ll be working hard on how to write them from now on.
