"Killing isn't fun, Traci. You remember how you felt when you heard that man's heart stop? You really want to cause that?"

"I want to torture her and feel her heart slowly stop...oooh....I love that thought!" She giggled.
-
"... What? What's wrong with you?" Her father's voice filled with fear and panick. "Traci. Please, stop."
-
"I-I'm sorry....Is something wrong? Do you hate me?" Traci began to tear up.
-
He immediately walked over and hugged her. "Traci, I love you. But you were acting really violent and it scared me. I... I don't want you to fall into that like I did."
-
He immediately walked over and hugged her. "Traci, I love you. But you were acting really violent and it scared me. I... I don't want you to fall into that like I did."
-
She hugged back and sniffled. "Oh okay...can I slaughter now?"
-
"Did you not hear what I just said?" He sighed. Reu had to be stopped, but to let Traci turn into a monster? Even his life wasn't worth that. "If we torture her, then how are we any better than her?"
-
"Don't know. Don't care. I want to just see her suffer and hear her scream!" Traci laughed.
-
"I know that's not true. Something is wrong, Traci. You're acting psychotic. Stop." He was pleading with her now.
-
"Nah! This is the normal me! I'm always like this! Come on! Revenge!" She laughed some more and hummed.
-
"No, it's not! Please stop!" Hearing her speak like this was clearly hurting him, and his voice shook as he spoke. "Traci, I know you. You hate killing. You're not a monster, you're the nicest person I know. This is scaring me, Traci. Please stop."
-
Traci smiled at her father and he could see something black quickly move across her one eye.
-
His eyes widened. "Traci... Your eyes... Something's wrong." He reached for the communicator Charlie had given him all those months ago. "Oh no..."
-
Traci grabbed his hand tight enough to hurt and pushed him back slowly with her other hand. "Don't worry, father! I'm okay!" She giggled again and kept up her smile.
-
"Ow..." He grit his teeth, attempting to call Iso via their mental bond. "Traci, stop."
-
Traci laughed as Cannon couldn't even sense Iso. "Father! It's fiiiine! I feel fiiiine!" She twisted his wrist painfully, almost breaking it.
-
"Argh!" He twisted with it to lessen the pain, throwing a full blown mental attack across what he knew was the remnants of the bond. His other hand grabbed Traci's, trying tl pry her hand off.
-
Something was blocking the signal. "You're fine, father! You'll never die!" Traci's other hand now clutched his throat and lifted him off the ground.
-
"Ack!" He tried even more, throwing everything at it to break through as he tucked his chin in to keep her from choking him. He knew he couldn't take on Traci, heck he probably couldn't even scratch her.
-
"I don't want to kill you, father!" Traci threw him across the ship with a laugh. "But for some reason I think it would be fun..."
-
He hit head first with a crack, his vision blurring for a second as he was stunned. "Traci... You have to fight it." He pleaded, forcing himself to stand as he kept trying at the bond. He knew it was his only shot, and he attacked it with a level of desperation he'd never shown before.
-
Traci formed a sword in her hand and slowly walked towards her father, scraping the ground as she went. "Nah! Isn't this fun?! Right?! Fun...?" A tear ran down her cheek. "Why aren't you happy, father? Does your lil flame no longer make you smile?"
-
"Traci... Please don't... Don't do this. I know this isn't... you. You have to fight it." He tried to stand, still dazed. He wouldn't hurt her, not even to defend himself.
-
Traci threw the blade at Cannon's robotic arm in an attempt to pin it to the wall, but at the last second she purposely missed so it stabbed into the wall beside his head. "I....I'm sorry...." Traci's eyes went wide before she suddenly turned and vanished.
-
"Traci!" Cannon forced himself to his feet. "No... No. No. No. Kriff!" He pulled out the communicator, his hands shaking as he attempted to activate it. He finally managed after the third try, contacting Charlie.
