"Did his whole body just change?!" Y/n asked in shock as Riddled blot started to overflow

"Heh heh heh... AH HA HA HA!
You are fools to defy me! You are not welcome in my world.
In my world, I am the law. I am order made manifest!
The only response I will accept from you is "Yes, Housewarden Riddle."
All who defy me will lose their heads! Ah ha ha ha ha!"

Riddle laughed psychotically, his head falling back, a crazed look on his face

"Dear me, what have I done? I've allowed a student to overblot in my presence!" Crowley muttered out in shock

" "Overblot"? What does that mean?!" Grim asked, catching onto what the headmage said.

"Overblot is a dangerous condition that mages must avoid at all costs.
At the moment, he is overcome by negative energy, and has lost control of his magic and emotions." Crowley explained to the talking cat.

"Okay, sure... but what does that mean?" Grim asked again in confusion

"Please explain!" Deuce called out, listening into the conversation

"To put it in layman's terms, he's in evil berserker mode!" Crowley shouted across to the group

"If he keeps releasing magical energy, we could be looking at a loss of life here - his included." Trey spoke frantically

"Uh, WHAT?!" Grim yelled out in shock, ducking behind y/n.

"  The well-being of my students is my top priority. Therefore, I must evacuate them immediately.
As for Mr. Rosehearts, we must restore his consciousness before his magical energy runs dry.
For as bad as losing him would be, there are scenarios that are far worse...
Listen well: I need all of you to seek help from the other housewardens and members of the faculty." Crowley commanded

"Hiiiyah! Take that!" Ace butted in, throwing a spell at Riddle, which made Crowley turn to him

Cater,Grim & Trey:  Huh?!

"I summon thee, cauldron!" Deuce joined in, attacking Riddle

"Myah?!"

"What do you fools think you're doing?" Riddle spoke, his voice distorted in anger

"Um, hello?! 911? We've got an idiot emergency!" Carter called out, naming the first year boys idiots for angering Riddle even more

"You DID hear that part about how reeeal bad things are happenin' with him, right?!" Grim called back to carter

"That's why we need to stop him now! I don't want that on my conscience!" Trey yelled back

"And I'm not givin' up till I hear him say "I was wrong and I'm sorry."" Ace spoke, pumping his fist in the air.

"sigh* All right, let's do this. I can overwrite his magic for a little longer.
In the meantime, do what you can! Headmage, please evacuate the other students!" Trey commanded with a sigh

"Wait! This is dangerous!" Crowley yelled out at his student's

"Are you S-R-S, Trey? You can't beat Riddle!" Carter called out in worry

"So what, you're not even gonna fight unless you KNOW you can win?" Trey spoke in annoyance

" Yeah, he's right. That's weak." Grim piped out from behind y/n and stood proud on his little legs.

"This is the only way we can think of to snap him out of this!" Deuce yelled, throwing another spell at the angry riddle.

"Yeah... I don't want to lose him. There're too many things I've left unsaid." Trey mumbled

"Combine your powers to stop Riddle?" Y/n suggested

" Ugh, I do NOT like or subscribe to this, but fine!" Carter spoke, giving her a sweet smile before scowling at the boys

"Ngh... I'll be back as soon as I've gotten the students to safety. Stand firm until then!" Crowley caved

"Such defiance, from every last one of you! I shall take all of your heads!" Riddle screeched

"Riddle's body can't take much more of this. We need to stop him before it's too late!" Trey called, soon after throwing a spell

"Sleight of Hand!"

"Confound it all! Still you oppose me, Trey?!" Riddle growled out

"All right! We've locked down Riddle's collaring attack!" Trey informed the group

"But not for long. We're still in kind of a tight spot here." Carter spoke

"Yeah. Get this done quick, while I keep Off With Your Head sealed away!" Trey spoke with a grunt

"YEEAAARGH!" Riddle screamed out, his blot becoming larger

Y/n stared at the blot in familiarity, her body subconsciously moving toward it and the pot in her grasp being taken with her.
Her hair slowly untangling from the braid it was in.

"Gah! Shouldn't he be outta magic by now?!" Ace yelled in tiredness after they had fought for a few minutes

"I am absolutely, positively right - beyond any possible shadow of a doubt!
I have to be! Otherwise, what was any of it for...?!" Riddle yelled in anger

"Riddle..." trey started sympathetically

"Trey, focus! Any distraction now will be giving him an extra advantage!" Carter brought trey back into reality

"Ah, sorry!" Trey sheepishly apologised

*CLANG*

The group of boys looked over to the culprit in shock.
Y/n had smacked Riddle to the floor with her pot and disabled him from using his pen.
They chuckled nervously before crowding around Riddle.

"I...was wrong?! But that's...impossible...
Isn't it...Mother?" Riddle asked himself as he fell unconscious



The group of boys hadn't even noticed that the blot and the long haired female had disappeared as well.
Y/n's body floated in a dark abyss, her hair wrapped around the blot creature, glowing in its golden hue.

"Flower...gleam..and glow.."
