The situation of Grace exploring knightmare-Grimm's mind was an outcome he did not expect. Grace saw images of a neglected little boy and memories that played like videos. Yi walked next to her in this mind.
"What is all this?" she said.
"These are Grimm's deepest painful memories," replied Yi. "There must be something here that will make Grimm stop."
Grace saw a memory of a young boy playing with a doll's house. With a side parting in his hair, dressed in a blue jumper, grey shorts, with grey socks and black shoes, the boy appeared happily at play, talking to the various characters of the house. A large tall muscular man burst in through the door. The boy flinched from the sudden interruption.
"Why are you playing with your sister's toys again?" He demanded.
"Sorry Daddy," said the boy.
"I didn't call you Byron so that you would become a sissy!" And with that he stamped on the doll's house. The boy retreated and after his father left the room he started to cry.
In the next memory, young Byron was wearing a girl''s dress in the family living room and father was admonishing and chastising him. His mother sat in a sofa chair knitting in silence.
"If you want to behave like a little girl I will dress you like one. Do you want to be a weak little girl?"
"No Daddy," said Byron.
"Haha look at you, said his father. You are a weakling . Look how small and skinny you are, no way can you be my child. Mary is this runt really my child?"
"You see he is also in pain," Yi said.
"It's horrible," Grace said.
'Hey, over here,' another voice said. Both Grace and Yi were startled but they looked further on deep in the abyss of Grimm's mind. In the darkness and mists Grace could make out the silhouette of a teenager. As they got closer, Grace recognised him.
"Knightmare?" she said.
"Hey, Grace," he said. "It's you. I'm trapped in here. Lord Grimm forced me to combine my Avatara with his now he has my soul under his control."
"I know," said Grace. "Maybe we can get you out of here."
She turned to Yi. "Can we get him out?"
"We can try but what body can he go into?" Yi pondered.
"I'm so sorry," said Knightmare. "I behaved in a stupid manner with Avatara and as a result my real body has been eliminated. You and Yi have got to help me. Don't leave me in here."
Yi seemed to listen intently. "He doesn't sound right. Something's wrong, there's nothing we can do for him Grace. Let's continue to search to find something that will make Grimm stop."
Yi turned away and walked searching with his eyes.
"We've got to help him Yi," said Grace, turning her gaze away from Knightmare to Yi.
"Don't listen to the monk," said Knightmare. Grace froze. Knightmare no longer sounded like Knightmare. Slowly, she rotated her neck back to look at him, except she found herself having to crane her neck upwards. It was Byron Grimm in his military clothing.
"Please stay with me me Miss Shelley," Byron Grimm said. "I wish to rest in your bosom, haha!!"
Byron Grimm grabbed her into a bearhug and started kissing her. "I love you Grace my darling, you're mine."
Grace screamed, trying to break free. She growled in anger and spat in his face. He wiped the spit off his cheeks with his fingers and licked them."Ooh, that is kinky Miss Shelley I like this."
"Get off me creep," she said. "I'm not not afraid of you anymore. I didn't call you Byron so that you would become a sissy." She quoted his own father.
Suddenly, Byron Grimm panicked and let her go. He hyperventilated, wretched and trembled. For a moment he had terror in his eyes. 'You bitch!" he said.
Yi appeared beside Grace.
"You could have helped me," she said.
"I was going to," he replied. "But then I noticed you had the situation handled. It appears it's too late for Knightmare though. He has been totally consumed."
"Knightmare is Grimm. Grimm is Knightmare," Grace said.
"Let's take over Grimm's mind," said Yi. "His appearance in his mind suggests we are the core."
He approached Grimm but suddenly a thunderstorm sound took over the dark, misty environment and lightning struck Grimm's body.
"Hahaha, I'm afraid not monk. Though I killed you, you persist. Indeed you are amazing." He took up a standing position, with an incredible poise and had a resounding aura of power.
"While you have been playing around in my head, you have forgotten that I still have been absorbing power from the kernel. My power is now at sixty five percent. It's too late and now I will take you both. Thank you for visiting. But being inside my head means I'm also inside yours."
"Grace grab my hand now!" shouted Yi. The fear in Yi's voice meant she did as asked without hesitation. Byron Grimm tried to grab them but they disappeared. They hurled out Knightmare-Grimm's mind through a vortex.
"He's too strong now," said Yi, as they flew out.
"We need to put the password into the logic bomb," said Grace.
