Objectification Overload: An Object Overload TF Saga

Under the Mask

Suddenly, they all have arrived at Hellscape, a they were now looking for some place to call their "base"...

-------------------------------
Meanwhile with Gaia...

Gaia was in her car, already having dropped off the newly transformed objects as she was with the Hosts as well.
"So, you're ready to get rid of the stragglers who's been causing us all the problems?" Gertrude asked.
"Yes, I have came prepared, damn it, I am going to get these four and then I will meet you all at the final ritual once I pry whatever I want from that bastard's hands." Gaia scoffed.
"Well, Tabitha is taking care of those who are still in Eldenburg, so, I will wait for them to arrive as well." Courtney added.
"I have a few people left to transform anyways, and they will become objects as well." Aiden replied.

Colleen then came out with a tied up Roko, "I've brought some leverage just in case Skeeter and them try to interfere as well!"
"Good, it's good that you have leverage, and after getting rid of one of my biggest threats, we should all be on our way to victory!" Otis smiled.
"Well, there better be no betrayal involved or you're all going to regret it!" Lucas scoffed.
"Don't worry, nobody's betraying anyone today!" Francine winked, she knows that she'd be lying as well.
"Let's all get ready to prepare for the final ritual!" Gertrude snickered, as they all returned to their vehicles and began driving through the interdimensional gateway.

Later...

After the discussion and the group had split up to find some places and to cover more ground, Mary was left with Ethereal's group. However, everything started to go south, and now Mary was in the library.

"Where did Ethereal run off to?" Mary asked before she noticed that there was something lying on the table as well, a camcorder as she walked over and sat down.

What she had saw made her heart sink, it was a goodbye message, and apology, it was the truth.
"She worked for Erinn, and she never told me?" Mary gasped, "I know she's a changed woman, but still, she cannot do something like this, she's ran off to find her sister and confront her?!"

Mary was absolutely pissed at the fact that she was losing all her friends, left and right, and she didn't know where Miranda might have gone off to, or if she's still human either.

Mary then slammed the door open, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Guys, I think Ethereal went off to avenge her daughter!" Mary cried out.
"What?!" Sarina asked.
"Oh, God! Not her too!" Belinda cried out.
"Go out there and find Ethereal, and if you see anything... anything that might be her, bring her back her using that gurney!" Mary cried out, "Don't worry about me!"

Beatriz cried out, "Are you crazy?! You're endangering them youngsters!"
"Beatriz, I know that you love your wife, and if anything, she would do the same for you if you were in her shoes!" Mary sighed.

Belinda, Sarina, Britannica and Zach ran off as they were off to look for Ethereal, hoping it is not too late for her.

Mary on the other hand, had other plans, she had an idea to make sure that Gaia struggles. She knew it would involve risking her life and end up being an object, with possibly no memories of who she was once before, but she had to confront one of her students as well.

Mary started to get some flashbacks... from 2014 or earlier as she remembered when Gaia was one her students... she remembered when she did some stagecraft for a play that Mary was planning to do.

"Hey, Ms. Masquerade, are you going to show me how to make a pretty little scene and stuff?" Gaia asked as she looked up at Mary, being quite shorter than her at the time, it was surprising that she had gone through a little growth spurt before she graduated as well.
"Of course, I will, and do you want to try on one of my masks and try to do some costume design?" Mary asked.
"Sure! It would be amazing!" Gaia smiled.
