"Mother did it! She actually managed to pull it off!"
"You say that as if you're surprised."
"Well, not because of Mother, obviously, but because of how well this went. Man! This could really work!"
"I certainly hope it does...if the Skull Heart plan is truly belly-up, so to speak, someone like Cell could really help us."
"But hey-what if he dies during this scheme of his? What do we do then?"
"Then, we simply retrieve him from another timeline. It shouldn't be a problem, the Multiverse is more vast than we'd ever imagined."
"Oh yeah, that's true. So...who's next?"
"Uh...her."
"Oooh...she looks fun."

Meanwhile...
In New Meridian, a certain limo drove off into the night, off to a mansion on a hill. The two in front, Horace and Albus, sat with neutral, slightly concerned expressions on their faces. That is, until a groan could be heard from the backseat.
"Whew! The boss is okay!"
"Indeed she is. But we need to get her home this instant."
Once at their destination, the two carried the skeleton in the backseat out and brought her into a giant bathing room.
The clear blue water practically glowed in the night, calm and serene until the two tossed the skeleton into the water. And as they did, the scenery changed. From above, waterfalls of blood streamed down into the pool, turning the clear blue to a dark crimson.
And from this bloody bath emerged...
"Boss!"
"Welcome back, Miss Eliza!"
"Oh darlings, it's good to be back. I was feeling so...drained."
"Good thing ya got a parasite, huh? Otherwise that guy woulda killed ya for sure!"
"Yes...he seemed completely unaware of my little secret. And he's gone before our rematch. A pity."
"Perhaps you could meet him again soon?"
"Yes...perhaps. But for now? I'd like to relax a bit. That Cerebella girl's blood helped me stay alive during our ride home, but now it's all used up. Oh, do clean up the mess from earlier, would you?"
The henchmen glanced at the green-haired corpse in the room, then back to Eliza. Nodding, they took the body away, as Eliza stayed in the pool. So...Cell, was it? Lamia must be tiring of her Skullgirl scheme. Ah, well. Eliza was tiring of it, too. Such s nuisance it all was...and the Life Gem had gotten snatched up, too! But it would be all right. She'd get it back...someday.
On the day she'd find Cell and take it, along with all the blood in his body.
Mmm...that was something to
really look forward to.
The End...?
