Chapter 4: Basket Case

Talk about a long night! Leander was asleep from exhaustion of the work. It was nighttime around one o'clock in the morning when he heard a knock on the door! He moaned as he got up, muttering: "What in heaven's name? Who could it be at this hour?" His feet padded against the floor. When he opened the door, he was so shocked that he gasped. Ginny, who had heard the banging too, wonder what's going on when she saw a young man bleeding. "Heaven's to Betsy!" She cried. Tamsin was carrying Mordred who was alive but unconscious. She was crying from the looks of it. "Please...Help us, He's dying of blood loss!" Tamsin weeped. Mateo, who too was awake, recognized her underneath all that mess of wet long hair. "Tamsin? Is that you?" He asked. Once everything had been explained and Mordred was unconscious; Leander now understands. "I see, so that's what happened, well done Mordred. You put that bastard in his place. And pray to tell me who you are?" Leander asked skeptically. Galahad looked down with guilt. He explains what happened; About Mordred's mother, about everything that has happened. Galahad is seen doing some martial arts. When he finished; he announces: "Okay, it's done. I think it's time for a little spar don't you think my friend?" 

Mordred appears as he replied, "We haven't done this since we were little, I hope you've gotten better." "Same goes for you." Galahad pointed out. They engage in a spar training. "Mordred, are you sure about this?" Galahad asked, in between the sparring. "I'm dead serious, I'm going to see if I can be part of this squad." Mordred said enthusiastically. "I don't know about this--" Galahad starts to warn, "I know what I'm doing!" Mordred declared. "Then, I'm coming along." Galahad replied. "No. Way." Mordred said. "Mordred? Are you doing this to get revenge at Gareth? I mean, he put you through hell. Is this about payback?" Galahad asked. Mordred stops to glare at him. Galahad snubbed his dirty look and continued, "We were bad to his sister, well you were as Manfred." "Manfred is dead and gone, Galahad." Mordred confirmed. Galahad replied pointing out the obvious, "Yeah, but if Lyonesse  knows about you being Manfred previously, you'll---"  Mordred kicks him to shut him up. "She doesn't have to know and YOU won't tell anyone about that!" Mordred said firmly. "Gareth is the only that knows, we don't know if he told anyone yet!" Galahad insisted. "Well, if he did, let him come. Let them all come, I'm ready." Mordred said. Lanny and Ginny observe him from afar. "Man, toots. He is one strange man." Lanny commented. "I wonder why Tamsin choose to save him." Ginny said. 

In the meantime; The team of Blue Moon researched on Alice: Alice Wonderstone is a blogger, writer, and anime otaku. She's funny, outgoing, happy, enthuastic, weird, and adorable. Her stories make people interested in her. Her main goal? To be the next successful Japanese light novelist! Alice is aware that there are other worlds out there and has traveled them ever since she was a child, She writes fictional stories about her experience there. This mysterious, whimsical minx but who is she really? What is she really? Blue Moon tracks her down in the new world, Schida Nation. As Caleuche is being fixed; Leander allows Tamsin and her crew to search for Alice with 'telepathy machines' to find some foreigners. They are told to use headphones for concentration. So far, nobody is responding to anybody. The others would like to know if this is ever going to work but Leander told them to have patience because they will answer soon. Tamsin looks at them, Mateo came beside her. "Interested?" He asked. Tamsin turned to him and not seemed to make eye contact. "Yeah, it's cool." She said. Mateo puts an arm around her, Tamsin remembers that Sean did that after Tamsin was verbally assaulted for missing her target of a baby. Tamsin had felt better, she does now back in the present. 

"Mateo, You think it'll work?" Tamsin asked. Mateo sighs deeply, "As Leander said, it only takes patience." He replied. Later, Tamsin puts on her headphones, closes her eyes, and focus on her meditation. In her mind; She sees a beautiful realm of blue skies, green grasses, flowery meadows, and glass buildings. Not a speck of rain or snow to ruin this glorious day. But she has a vision of a boy with turquiose hair, hazel eyes, and light skin tone. "Hello?" She spoke softly. The boy turned around, startled. "Who's there?" He called out. "Who are you?" Tamsin asked. "Um, I'm Lefko Hogan." The boy replied. "Lefko...Hogan?" gasped Tamsin. She felt so giddy that she clapped her hands excitedly. "YES! I knew it, I knew it! There is someone from another world." she said gladly. "Another....World? Uh, what do you mean by that?" asked Lefko. "Allow me to explain, it's going to be hard to tell you this....I am from another world." answered Tamsin carefully. "Ha, ha. I hate to break it to you...'Voice in my Head' but I live in a 'world' known as Schida Nation." Lefko replied with a nervous laugh. "Yeah, Schida Nation is one of those worlds." Tamsin insisted. Lefko guffawed anxiously, "Heh...Ohhhhhhkaaaayyyy. Who are you? Are you from the House of Sumarr?  The House of Vetr?"  He inquired. Lefko sounded nervous, terrified for a new enemy. 

"No, no, no, No! I'm Tamsin Tanner from a crew called Blue Moon." aforementioned Tamsin, almost too quickly. "All right, then, uh...'Tamsin Tanner', where are you?" questioned Lefko apprehensively. "From the world I am in is called Gotham Age....You know what? If you don't believe me, then I will demonstrate for you." said Tamsin. Then, Tamsin uses her ability to implant her memories and her knowledge into Lefko's mind. She never used this ability in a long time. Back in the IEPS; She was forced to use this gift to memorize the evidence of the suspects and tortures her victims with the data. This gift of hers was used to torment the suspects; leading them to hara kiri. It was really gruesome but it was nice to use her gift for something useful. Once Lefko got all this information in his head; He now understands. The mental 'bars' of his consciousness begin to melt and now he can see! "Now do you believe me?" asked Tamsin. "Your realm is somehow in the middle of some kind of....marvelous cosmic convergence! Two greatly different worlds spectacularly crossing paths yet in someway we’ve managed to make a connection." She didn't hear Lefko as she start to feel uneasy. "You OK, Lefko?" Tamsin asked nervously. Lefko couldn't speak, he was shaken all over but he gasped out: "Yes, I understand....Oh my....." Tamsin was anxious, "Just don't---Kill yourself--" She stammered. But Lefko was already leaving as he called out. "Hang on a second, 'kay?" and fled! 

Lefko was almost hyperventilating: This new information shocked him so he went to his personal bodyguard, Emil Teague. He was a slender, handsome gentleman protector. A good looking fellow name Claudius 'Claude' Graham was jealous of Lefko because of his pure beauty so now he got two rivaled groups, The House of Sumarr and the House of Vetr. Those people can stand one another for The House of Sumarr is fire while the House of Vetr is ice! Claude has lead his jealous into a hunt for both groups into a game: Whoever catches Lefko will consume his beauty and heart as they will be the 'everlasting kingdom'. So that is why Emil and the lovable simpleton, Cleo Negri are willing protect him! Just then, Lefko was seen with Emil and Cleo when there was something pretty in the air. A voice from beyond. Someone singing: "La-la-la-La. La-la-la-La. La-la-la-la-la-La. Wanna feel the warm breeze, sleep under a palm tree, feel the rush of the ocean. Get on board a fast train, travel on a jet plane Faaaaaaarrrrrrrrraaaawwwwaaaayy. And break awaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy." While the singing was going, Lefko follows it. Tamsin then teleports to that world, Shinshi Country, and looks around when he saw Lefko passing her. Her device detects that pretty boy is Lefko. Then, she saw the flames and the frost armies. "Hmm, looks like hell is just around the corner..." She muttered. Tamsin ran faster and caught Lefko by the shoulder, "Lefko?" The boy turned around and gasped. "Tamsin Tanner?" "Wow, you look so pretty." "Lefko?" Emil and Cleo appeared but they were awkward to see her. Tamsin explains about Alice Wonderstone. Emil spoke of a place known as The Dwarf Stone, which is being held at the Looking Glass Museum. Tamsin decides to go until there was explosions so Tamsin and the others hurried away. 

They managed to get to the heart of the city where they meet with a mysterious girl. She had brown eyes, brunette hair with blonde highlights. Olive pale skin complexion. She wore a long sleeved shirt, leggings, and shorts. She wore slip on flats on her tiny feet. The strange girl slowly walked over to Tamsin and the others. "M'lady, you are....A dark yet interesting person!" She exclaimed. Everyone looked flabberghasted. "What you call me?" Tamsin asked. "'Dark and interesting' huh." Lefko said sarcastically. Tamsin looked at him with narrowed eyes, until she and Lefko are knocked out by a scent in the air. Karina smiled at them with excitement. The next thing they knew they woke up in a tower, surprisingly they learned to know that it belong to Alice! "Tamsin Tanner. Former victim of IEPS, currently a member of Blue Moon who travels to other worlds. Now I can see what the fuss is all about." "You sure now your way with research, Alice Wonderstone." Tamsin replied. The girl smiled, unsurprised. "Hmm, you heard of me?" She asked. "Yup, the novelist who writes about such fantasies." Tamsin noted. 'Alice' beamed as she lean her elbows on the counter. "Yeah, I am a light novel writer. A big anime fan, a crazy cloud cuckoo lander, a daydream believer. So what else am I to you--" She ranted. "Karina Novak." Tamsin said. Now the girl was surprised. "Huh?" She asked. "That's your real name, Alice Wonderstone is your pseudonym name for your stories. You like to use that name to create 'mystery and excitement'. Nice meeting you!" Tamsin said. Karina looked impressed. "Huh, you done some hacking haven't ya?" She said. Tamsin shrugged, "That's just my specialty." She said. Karina pouted mockingly, her face expression was quite comical. "So, can you tell us why did you cause this confusion of sending us in one world?" Tamsin asked. 

Karina twists her lips thoughtfully yet in a cute manner, she considers this for a moment as Tamsin and the others wait for her to reply. "I could! But that would just give myself away." She said finally. "Here, let's hold a challenge!" "Challenge?" Tamsin and the others chorused. "Yes, whoever defeats Claude's games with The House of Sumarr and the House of Vetr will win this competition. Starting...now!" Karina pressed a button on a pen-like device and a puff of smoke out comes! She escapes and Tamsin follows her with Lefko, Emil, and Cleo behind her. For the time being; Lavinia was in the strange new world, someone took noticed of her and follows her. Lavinia was thinking about that horrible memory that she can only remember: A gun, blood, a body on the ground, and tears. Where did the blood came from? Who's the dead person? Why was she holding the gun? There was too many questions inside her mind. Just then, she noticed a boy watching her. "You new here?" The boy asked. Lavinia was cautious to answer, "Yeah...How did you know?" "I never seen you around so I assume you're new." The boy said. "Really?" Lavinia looked impressed. "Yeah, What's your name sweetheart?" The boy asked. "Lavinia." Lavinia answered. "The name's Adranus Sharik." The boy answered. "Cute, you're pretty cute!" Lavinia complimented. Adranus looked embarrassed, he looked away blushing and rebukes her: "You don't know whatcha talking about!" He glanced at her. "Um...Wanna coming with me?" Later; Lavinia and Adranus were walking together to the base of Sumarr. There, Lavinia met the members of the House of Sumarr.

A bishonen name Salamander Albin, a young girl name Pele Väinämöinen, a big guy name Logi Ganesha, a voluptuous young lady name Brighid Phoenix, and her best friend, Hestia Sethlans. They were amazed to meet Lavinia and there were a swarm of comments of her: "She's cute!", "Beautiful girl, where the hell did you find her?", "She was just wandering around...", and "She looks scared!" Overwhelmed by this Lavinia pushed them all away. "STOP!" She cried. When it all became silent, Lavinia was panting. "Sorry, just--just--" She stammered. Just then, a calm tone came to her rescue. "Guys, c'mon. Give the girl a rest, she looks like hell and doesn't need anyone to hound with a thousand questions!" He looked pretty handsome, quite a hot guy. This was Vulcan Lucretius? Pretty good looking! Lavinia blushed, "Oh shoot me!" She whispered. "Sorry Vulcan." Pele bowed. Vulcan caresses Pele's head, "You always are." Then he glanced at the shy Lavinia. "And what do we have here?" Lavinia smiled sweetly. "Hi, my name is Lavinia. Um, your boy Adranus found me. I'm just--" she started to say. "Hmph, cute. But in all honesty, you look more of a retard." Vulcan commented bluntly. Lavinia' heart broke by this. "What?!" She gasped. "Are you an idiot? You're face looks like one." Vulcan said. The others chuckled, except for Pele. it was so bad for her. Lavinia bowed her head and begin to cry. How can this good looking creature called her such names? In her memory; she remembers that someone used to called her that before as a child! 

Filled with tears of humiliation and rage; Lavinia was so angry that she couldn't take it anymore, she seized the gun from her coat. With rapid speed and horrible screeching from her lips; she fires the gun around the building as everyone ducks down! Then, Lavinia held the gun to Vulcan's temple, the others were terrified and angry but they were scared of Lavinia. "I have a gun to y our boss's head and I'm not afraid to use this! I'm having a crap-sacked day, I'm sick of people trying to hurt me! Thinking I'm nothing but a curse, and treat me like I'm nothing! I'm sick of it!" Lavinia screamed. She turns to Vulcan, who seemed stunt but not afraid. I don't even know who I am, where I'm from, or what I am! Who am I? Can someone tell me that? SOMEONE TELL ME WHO I AM?!" Pele looked at her sympathetically and walks over to her calmly to say, "I think we all have questions so you're not the only one." Lavinia smiles warmly at her and releases her leader. Just then, A cellphone rings and Vulcan answers, "Yeah?" "Boys, found our guy! He's with some weird chick." said the lackey. "We're on our way." Vulcan replied. "I know what I've done but can I come?" Lavinia asked. The others look nervous,  "I--" Vulcan started to say, but a voice begs him from behind and Vulcan turns around. "Please Vulcan, let her come. I hate to see her like this." 

Meanwhile; The strange singer is seen cleaning around outside when she stumbles across a wishing well with white birds around it. She talks into it, as she can hear her own echo; scaring the birds away. Then, the girl begin to sing: "I wanna be a bottle blonde, I don’t know why but I feel conned. I wanna be an idle teen, I wish I hadn’t been so clean. I wanna stay inside all day, I want the world to go away, I want blood, guts and chocolate cake, I wanna be a real fake." She took a breath and begin to croon again, "Yeah I wish I’d been a, wish I’d been a teen, teen idle. Wish I’d been a prom queen fighting for the title. Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible, Feeling super, super super! suicidal. The wasted years, the wasted youth, The pretty lies, the ugly truth. And the day has come where I have died, Only to find I’ve come alive." Adranus and Logi heard this singing in the air and wonders where it's coming from. "I think we're hearing things." Adranus grumbled. The House of Sumarr head off as well as the House of Vetr. While wandering; Tamsin and her new allies were searching for Karina anywhere. While searching for Karina; They noticed there was smoke and frosty mist. Tamsin, Lefko, Emil, and Cleo turn around.

"Oh no!" Lefko gasped. "It's them!" He pointed over to see two different groups coming so Tamsin, with her enhanced speed, helps Lefko and the others escaped but soon they were being chased after! Tamsin decides to up to the roof, she climbs up as Lefko is terrified of this! But he watches Tamsin as she is cooled yet confident of what she's doing! As they got to the top of the building. Lefko can finally release himself from the heroine and looks down to see that the groups were fighting one another. "Hey! Up here!" Lefko called out. As they look up, The House of Sumarr and the House of Vetr saw Lefko; they were stunt to see his radiance. But then, they realize that he looks like The Fair Youth from those years ago, and they realize that it is Fair Youth's son! They couldn't bring themselves to hurt this boy! So, they decide to have a truce and fought Claude's men while Tamsin, Lefko, Emil, and Cleo sneaked inside. When they got inside, they were amazed to see that they saw inside this building. "Is this--?"A voice from above startles them. "Yes Madame, this is the Looking Glass Museum  It looks like someone got the stone already, must be pretty interesting, don't ya think?" It was Karina, coiled around a pillar with the Dwarf Stone in hand. "How the hell you got in here?!" Lefko demanded. 

Tossing the Dwarf Stone up and catching it when it fell just a little, Karina shrugged casually. "What can I say, I'm that good. I am the trickster of Wonderstone." She bragged. "Wonderstone, this is the modern world of Wonderland." Emil commented.  "That's right, my happy place." Karina said. "It won't be for long." Tamsin said and gunshots and power blasts went off quickly! Karina ran, dodging and hiding. "Game's over, Karina! I win!" Tamsin replied. "We won this stupid game!" Cleo called. More gunshots and power blasts but Karina dodged them still! "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Tamsin hollered. "Boy oh boy, I knew there was something interesting about them since we met. They're  more impressive than I thought." Karina muttered to herself, pleased by all this. "You can run, but you can't hide!" Lefko called out. They thought they got her but it was only her jacket. "What the heck--?" Lefko demanded in shock. Tamsin turned and her eyes widened, pointing to what's coming. "Look out!" "Surprise!" cried Karina, lunging at Lefko. She was in a long sleeved shirt, smiling down at Lefko, who blushed at her ingenue beauty but realized what he was suppose to do. "Hey, get off me, will ya?" Lefko said. "Oopsie, sorry bout that!" Karina replied, giggling. 

There was a loud explosion from Claude's tower! It turns out that Karina set the bomb, she had planned this the whole time! It looks like he's dead....Shame really for Claude, not that anyone cares. The House of Sumarr, The House of Vetr, Tamsin, Lefko, Emil, and Cleo watched the flames. By the time they saw it being burned, Tamsin turned around, she realized that Karina escaped and curses herself! Later; Lefko, Emil, and Cleo were walking with Tamsin, Augusta, and Milena as they are now the new recruits of the squad. But Tamsin noticed Lefko had something on his neck that reads, "Tamsin Tanner--My latest obsession!" Lefko was confused but when Cleo shows it to him in the mirror, he looked shocked. "What? Holy crow, where did that--" "She must've got you there in the confusion." Emil noted. Lefko sighs, "Geez, that girl needs some help." What they did not know is Karina was watching from afar; "Tamsin Tanner, a heroic sensation and she and crew of friends might cure me of my boredom." She noted. Karina stared off after them before she smiled slyly, "I hope we meet again, until then, farewell. Come again soon...!" In the aftermath of all that has happened; Lavinia was about to leave when Adranus and the House of Sumarr managed to find her and her crew, they decide to join them in their journey. In the meantime; The House of Vetr were too she'll shock and confused about what's really going on....they wonder what kind of people they met. Tamsin Tanner? Who was that girl? How fast is she? No human on earth is that quick or strong, could it be? 

“You sure this is a good idea?” asked Simpleton. He, Coyote, Merlin, and George—the four male friends that Tamsin Tanner befriended after they were saved from Jackal and his gang. But now they were running from the storm and trying to find a place to shelter from the rain. “It’s the only way to beat the storm. C’mon!” Coyote urged. The four friends found an old house and closed the door. Coyote made a fire, to keep warm. While staying in the house; something strange occurred. The four friends thought they heard footsteps scurrying from above. There was a girl screaming, begging but the screaming went on forever. Then, they heard a creepy monotone slowly singing an old nursery rhyme: “Head…shoulder…knees…and toes….knees…and toesss….” It repeated twice and then crooned eerily, “Eyes….ears…..mouth…..and nose…..head…..shoulder…..knees….toes….” As the singing went on; the little girl was screaming, “Stop! Please! Stop!” But he wouldn’t. “What is going on?” Simpleton asked, covering his ears. “I have no idea.” Coyote said. Merlin couldn’t stand it. “It’s so grotesque.” He whimpered. George was terrified as they were. Then, it stopped. Then, they heard gunfire, people screaming, and someone saying: “Well done, Dina.” Coyote and his friends were in deep shock, confused at what is happening. Next, when it was over; the four boys sighed of relief. But to their horror, they heard a creepy voice singing: “LalalalalalaLalalalalala….” Simpleton backs away until he felt a small hand on his back, he turned around and screamed. The others looked, they were horrified as well. For the time being in Blue Moon; Lying in her bed, hearing the clock ticking as she thinks of her childhood. Like the time she was given quiet time. But she learned that she wasn't allowed to come out until she claims to be ready. Tamsin took a peek outside of her isolated room. But had to close it or she would be in big trouble. But the past is in the past, Tamsin went to sleep; thinking of good memories back in Oklahoma. 

The next day, Tamsin Tanner woke up and is surprised to find Mateo by her bed. "Sea--Mateo? What are you doing here so early? muttered Tamsin. Mateo hands her a letter, "This just came in. It's from Idina." He said. Shocked; Tamsin took the letter as Mateo leaves her be while she opens the letter from the envelope to read what it says. What she read shocked her: “Sister, I have some of your so-called friends. Coyote, Merlin, George, Simpleton, Tyrus Melvin, Eric Steele, Dylan Bernall, Cassie Hawthorne, and Rachel Perez. If you want them back to Oklahoma, then there are obstacles to accomplished. This is our moment, dear sister, to be a family once again.

Sincerely Idina.”

Tamsin dropped the letter as she was in fear, she remembers memories of Simpleton and the boys who were nice to her. They were one of those people besides Mateo to treat her like a human being for once in her life. Now, she was going to give it back to them. She found something else in that envelope, a clue folded up and she reads it, “Are you willing to save the life of your so-called friends, sister? Your first task is….Go to the Sleeping King’s Mountain. You will find 5 + 5.” Tamsin wonders what that means and heads over on this journey. The cryptic riddle is referring to another world called Saguenay Patria. So, Tamsin heads there—by herself. “So, here’s the plan guys. We’re going up to the Sleeping King’s Mountain.” said a young man. In the world of Saguenay Patria; there were five guys and five ladies, they are part of a corporation called J.Walkman. The ladies were Gracia Jaden, Emer Gabriel, Aife Michael, Nessa Raphael, and Maeve Jophiel. And the guys were Diarmuid Walker, Conan Eaton, Aiden Forest, Finn Palmer, and Donne Green. The young man is Finn Palmer, the leader of this group, he continues to talk about the plan, “But as we’re climbing up, the zombies are coming. Conan and Emer? Take the ones on the left. Aife and Aiden will take on the right. Some zombies will come from above, Maeve and Donne will take the undead from above. Nessa and I will take on the ones from the bottom. Of course, last but not least is Diarmuid and Gracia—you two will be taking on the zombies from the center.” The vehicle stops, Finn turns back to them: “Any questions?” He asked. The others didn’t looked questionable. “Nope, we’re all good.” Emer replied. “All right then, let’s move! Remember, if you don’t stand against them; you’ll fall to their clutches.” Finn replied. They moved in, shooting and slashing with their weapons at the zombies. The 10 of them worked for someone name Chiron, a wise man. Like a father to them. How Gracia and the girls came across J.Walman went like this--Gracia, Emer, Aife, Nessa, and Maeve were kidnapped and forced to work in the red light district. They were mistreated until Diarmuid and the guys came, rescue them, and gave them a better life. 

Recently, there have been reports from J.Walkman’s agents. The reports are saying that there was a siren singing from the Sleeping King’s Mountain. Stoic faced Diarmuid Walker claimed he heard trance-like singing. “So lately, been wondering. Who will be there to take my place? When I'm gone, you'll need love. To light the shadows on your face. If a great wave shall fall, it’d fall upon us all. And between the sand and stone, Could you make it on your own? If I could, then I would. I'll go wherever you will go. Way up high or down low. I'll go wherever you will go.” Conan Eaton heard singing from the Mountain, some girl from there was singing. “Tell me…Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else, Gettin’ me frustrated. Life's like this you, you fall and you crawl and you break, and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty. You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it. No, no, no.” Quiet Aiden Forest was the third to hear singing from beyond the Mountain too. The singing was crooning like this, “He was a skater boy, she said, ‘See ya later, boy.’ He wasn't good enough for her. She had a pretty face but her head was up in space.She needed to come back down to earth…..He was a skater boy, she said, ‘See ya later, boy.’ He wasn't good enough for her. Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar. Does your pretty face see what he's worth?” Kind hearted, peaceable young Finn Palmer is the fourth who had heard singing from Sleeping King. “Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home? It's a damn cold night. Trying to figure out this life. Won't you take me by the hand? Take me somewhere new. I don't know who you are, but I... I'm with you. I'm with you.” Donne was the fifth person to hear singing from afar, the singing went like this: “No. I just don't understand why, you won't talk to me. It hurts that I'm so unwanted for nothing. Don't talk words against me…”

The girls also heard the singing from afar, in the Mountain. Gracia heard the singing: “Sometimes I drive so fast. Just to feel the danger. I wanna scream, it makes me feel alive…WOO!...Is it enough to love? Is it enough to breathe? Somebody rip my heart out, and leave me here to bleed. Is it enough to die? Somebody save my life. I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.” Emer heard the singing too, which went like this, “I met someone the other night. Someone I really started to like. How will I know if it's right for me? I wonder if we are meant to be. Don't start to like him too much, too soon….There is no one else that I can say this to. And there is nothing better than to talk to you. If you have a problem I'll be here for you, 'cause girl you always know that. It’s us against the World.” Aife and Nessa were just minding their business when they heard some echo-like singing from the Mountain: “Up--up--up--Can only go up from here. Up--up--up—Up--Where the clouds gonna clear. Up--up--up--There's no way but up from here.” Maeve is the tenth and last person to hear an enchanted, reverberation voice from the Mountain. It made her hairs on her neck stand up: “Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me say: I really don't think you're strong enough, now. Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me say: I really don't think you're strong enough, now.”

Once the gang took care of the zombies; they went inside but when they got in, they were surprised to find that it looked like a normal room, than a dark and damp cave. “This is the Sleeping King’s chamber? Is the treasure inside?” asked Emer. Finn nodded, “Yes, we’re getting closer. I can feel it.” He was right, they were getting closer. Emer looked around to see flowers, there was archer of flowers. “Look at these flowers, their so pretty.” She remarked. “It almost looks like a memorial site.” noted Maeve. They continued to walk in as no one can see any treasure but Aife saw something further into a flower archer. “Is that--?” She asked, pointing over to the strange object. Finn looked over, his eyes widened. An excited grin slowly appeared, “Yes…Yes! That’s the treasure! Nice work, Aife.” praised Finn. “Way to go, girl!” Nessa cheered. Aiden placed a hand on Aife’s shoulder, “I knew you could do it.” He replied. Aife beamed with pride. When the others walked through the archer; they were surprised to find that the so-called treasure was a white coffin. Gold on the side, painted flowers on the front. “This is the strangest treasure chest I have ever seen.” noted Emer. “Do you think a dead body is in there?” asked Conan. Nessa grimaced, “Oh gross…” She said. Maeve looks around, “Where’s the key?” She asked. Gracia looked around as well, she saw something shimmer in the flowers, and she reaches in and pulls out the silver object. “Got it, it’s here.” Gracia took the key, she place it in the lock of the casket and turns it before the lid snaps open. Something glowed inside. When they look inside; they gasped in amazement, in this casket was a young girl. Blonde haired, fair skin, petite hands, small feet, and she wore a lavender dress with whitish purple shoes. But she had an amazing beauty to her. “She’s beautiful.” breathed Aiden. “I never seen anyone as young as her.” said Conan. “She looks like an angel.” said Gracia. Diarmuid grazed her cheek, his hand went behind her head and he felt something in her head. “What is this? A hairpin?” He leaned over to the girl but heard her breathing. Diarmuid pulled away, he put two fingers on the unconscious girl’s throat. “Guys…She’s alive!” He said.

The others are in dazed. “What?” asked Maeve, her eyes widened. “How long she’s been in here?” inquired Finn. “I’m not sure but I’m going to try and pull it out.” said Diarmuid, he was about to pull the hairpin but Aiden stopped him. “Wait, allow me. You might get brutal like you did last time.” He reminded. Diarmuid looked at him, then he nodded. “OK.” said Diarmuid. Diarmuid held the girl’s head while Aiden carefully pulled the pin from her head. Suddenly, to both of their surprise, the girl’s head wound closed up--making a squishy sound. The girl woke up. She sat up, clutching her head.  “Are you OK?” asked Diarmuid. The girl jumped. She backs away fearfully. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” Diarmuid assured her. “Who are you people?”  The girl asked. “We’re good people.” Gracia replied. “What’s your name, sweetheart?” asked Conan. The girl replied shyly, “Deirdre.” “Do you have a last name?” Aiden asked. “I don’t remember.” said Deirdre said, sadly. “What about your parents? How old are you?” asked Maeve. “I don’t know! I don’t remember anything!” cried Deirdre. She looks away from the surprised faces, “I’m sorry.” She whispered. Diarmuid gingerly carried her, “C’mon. Let’s get you out of here.” He said. J.Walkman and the mysterious girl walked out of the cave. But the zombies appeared to ambush them, Deirdre gasped, clutching onto Diarmuid tightly and hid her face. 

Just then, there were rapid guns firing at the undead and they dropped to the floor, J. Walkman looks up to see Tamsin peering down from a helicopter and lowers a rope ladder. “Come with me, I’m one of the good people.” She calls out. Confused but obeyed to this, The J. Walkman agents and the mysterious Deirdre climb onto the helicopter. The helicopter fled away from more zombies coming. Meanwhile; Simpleton and the guys are being held in a cell. “Where are we?” Simpleton asked. “I have no idea.” replied Coyote. “Hello, is anyone there?” No one answered, it was dark down here except for a few lights. Just then, there was a voice in the speakers startled the four of them: “This cell will be your tomb soon enough. So, try to breathe a little more. But don’t fret my ‘pets’. Dear Sister will save you soon.” Meanwhile; Tamsin piloted the helicopter, she sensed that the 10 agents of J.Walkman and Deirdre were staring at her curiously. “I’m sorry to drop in like this but I need your help. Please, my friends are captured.” said Tamsin in an authoritative tone. “What do you want us to do?” Gracia asked. “There is a mentally ill girl who is planning to cause human destruction and we need to stop her. So, I am gathering you and others from other worlds.” said Tamsin. Deirdre and the others of JW are shocked, “There are other worlds?” asked Deirdre. Tamsin turned to them and said, “Yes. I’ll take you to a place called Blue Moon and come back later to find this girl and where she is. Don’t worry, you’ll be safe.” 

Finally; Tamsin landed the helicopter as she and her new recruits went to Blue Moon HQ. Tamsin enters to find Leander with a letter in his hand, “It’s for you.” He said. Tamsin took the letter and tears out the letter quickly with one motion. She reads the next letter: “Are you willing to save your so-called friends, Dear Sister? Head west.” said the note.  Tamsin shook her head in bewilderment. “What is she trying to do?”  She inquired only to no one in particular. So she sets off on another misadventure. In the meantime; Eric, Dylan, Cassie, and Rachel woke up in each of a narrowed room. “Where the hell are we?” Eric mumbled. They looked around, “Hey! Anybody here?” demanded Eric. He hit against the walls rapidly but nothing happened. “That’s not going to work.” Cassie said. Eric gave up in defeat but he saw something on the floor. Something was bursting out, it was like a puddle of something. “What the hell is this?” He wondered. A voice on the speaker startled the four of them: “Listen carefully, that stuff you see is cement. It is slowly rising and will entombed you in the walls. But don’t worry, Dear Sister will save you all.” Cassie, Eric, Rachel, and Dylan look terrified. “What?!” cried Eric. Dylan hits the walls with his fists, tears streaming down his face. Cassie was in the fetal position, Rachel begins crying. “Let us out, let us out! Please!” Eric shouted, looking up. Long ago; in a world called Gerenia Borough, there were five kids. One was a hot head, who was outgoing but was headstrong yet kind hearted boy. The second was a lone wolf, the third was a girl, the fourth was a fat one, and one was young and a depressed, bullied, and wanted to have friends. On an ‘ordinary day’; they experienced a ‘down the rabbit hole’ and were chosen to be the warriors of West Gerenia. The hothead is Monkey King. The lone wolf is Tripitaka. The girl was Sandy. The fat one was Pigsy. And last but not least, the little brother type kid was White Dragon Horse. They have made friends with one another, they have fallen in love, and they have saved the world from evil. But after facing the final boss; the kids were no longer warriors. Now, they had went through coming of age as then they faced the darkest and most gruesome foes. That is all about to change when they entered high school and a lot of things happened. The ‘Monkey King’ suddenly got mentally ill and only Tripitaka took his place. Lot of tension and some craziness with mixed feelings. Some many regrets and distance. But then, they came to a conclusion to their lives and decide to try to be friends again. Almost. But it’s getting better in time. 

The present era shows a 17 year old girl name Rubina Pallas. She lived in harmony with her mother, Hydra. Her father left when she was little. Rubina can't remember her father that much, she was just 4 years old and the only thing she remembered seeing his smile and his warm embrace. Rubina is a naive, innocent, and peaceable dame which she learns of how the world is cruel and horribly wretched. She wish for a better life for everyone, since she feels that others are not so lucky, unlike her. But that's all about to change when Rubina came home one day to discover her mother was murdered in a cruel matter, Rubina was shocked and devastated that she wept over the body of Hydra. She must've passed out because the next minute she knew that she woke up in the court room, where she hears arguments between a woman and a man before the judge. "Your honor, she belongs in the fields!" argued a woman's voice, which sounded angry. "Miss Pallas, she is too shock and vulnerable to work there. She'll die!" debated a man's voice. Rubina swayed a little, "What's going on here?" She mumbled. "Lady Rubina, are you awake?" The booming voice of the judge asked. Rubina jumped, "Yes. Yes, sorry. I'm...I'm..." She stuttered. "Lady Rubina, your uncle and aunt are here to take you but Lady Antila has an issue with this. What is your decision?" The judge asked, irked and impatient a little. Rubina shakes her head, "I think I'd be better off with my uncle and aunt. My mother said that if anything happens to her, she would like my uncle and aunt to take care of me. I mean, can I say that?" She said. The judge nodded, "If that is your decision, then it is set." He said. "You’re Honor!" Antila protested. "Lady Antila, that is Miss Pallas’s decision and I have to agree. Your rejection is now allowed. Court adjourned.” And that’s where Rubina’s life was about to change.

Rubina lives with her uncle, Puppis, and aunt, Vela. Since the death of her mother; Rubina daydreams of a better place. Better than her own world, she doesn't focus on her home school lessons. It was hard to deal with it. The death of her mother, she cried a little when she thought of letting go. It was a day, just an ordinary to try and get by. On that 'ordinary day'; Rubina saw someone....Just a boy, just...an ordinary boy. But he was looking into the sky. Rubina came over to him and asked, "What are you doing?" "Just looking at the sky, it's a beautiful day, isn't it?" replied the boy. Rubina looked up, despite of what happened, she thought the blue sky was so clear. "Yes, it is." Rubina admitted. The boy look up at her, "Do you want to come away with me?" He asked. Rubina looked at him with astonishment, "What? Really?" She inquired. "Yeah, I want to show you a whole new world out there and get pass the war. There is a place called Gerenia. You want to go there?" The boy said. "Who was this guy? What did he want?" wondered Rubina. The boy outstretched his hand and said to her: "Take my hand, live while you can in Gerenia. Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand? If we go now, we will divide and conquer that land." Rubina didn't think twice, he sounded very convincing. She took his hand and felt like she was being lifted off the ground. Rubina and the boy flew into the sky, she looked behind her to the world where it looked a lot smaller now. She quietly said farewell to her world--her mother--and then looked towards her destiny. There was a bright light as Rubina squinted before she fell into unconsciousness.

Meanwhile, into the deserted streets of Gerenia Borough; six friends are preparing their own race. Four were on their motorbikes while one holds up a black and white checkered flag. The five friends have been doing this for a while now. The one in red and black spandex is Sonny Mercury, A guy who always get in trouble for saying or doing something that he should not have. He is a kind hearted boy despite all that and is a more outgoing, impulsive and determined. The tough guy in orange and blue toned attire is Marshall Jupiter; the rough, cold and aloof but insecured and kind hearted guy. The one in magenta, green and black spandex attire is Fan Apollo. Fan is a tomboy, cheerful, and upbeat young lady.  The one in pink and white is a boy name Pegaso Cronus; the comic relief; bubbly, cute, always flirting with the girls but has an affection for possibly Marshall, who is repulsed by this. The one in silver and purple spandex is another girl name Sandra Cypris. She is cheerful and bubbly, but also sweet deep down. Back in the day, she was a child celebrity but left because of some problems she had. And last but not least is the only girl of this group in a skirt-like shorts and tank top is Jade Bacchus. Jade is a smart, beautiful, and feminine. She's the beauty of the group. Sonny is 18 years old. Sandra is 17 years old. Marshall is 19 years old while Pegaso is 16 years old, Fan and Jade are both 17 years old. "Ready, set...GO!" Jade announced, the flag dropped to the ground and the bikes took off. The five friends were pretty competitive, to see which one will win while Jade cheered on her friends, while giggling with excitement.

During the race; Marshall was beginning his bike was breaking down so he hits the brake and it screeched to a halt. Five were still in the race. But Pegaso's bike tripped and he went flying however he tumbled safely. Man, that's got a hurt for him but he's OK. Now it's just three in the race! Sonny, Sandra, and Fan were neck to neck against each other, however after many struggles; Sonny crossed the finish line first, he was the winner! Jade cheered, as well as the others. Except for Marshall, who seemed bummed out but a shadow fell upon him. He look up to see a skeptical Jade with her hands on her hips, tapping her foot. "And pray tell what happened here? Hmm..." She asked. Marshall looked embarrassed, "Uh, well! Funny story, I didn't put enough gas in the tank." He said, nervously. "How much gas did you put?" Jade asked, skeptically. Marshall looked annoyed, he lets out a sigh, "OK, Fine! About...18 quarts?" He admitted. Jade looked at him with disbelief on her face, "18 quarts??!!" She cried. Marshall rolled his eyes, "All right. Guilty as charged right?" He said. Jade stares at him before she shakes her head and chuckles. "I wondered what we're going to do with you." She said. "Hey!" Sonny called out. "We're going to the diner to get some food. You coming or what?" "Yeah, I'm starving!" Marshall called back, he was about to follow but Jade stopped him. "Uh-uh! After you fill up the bike tank completely full." She scolded. Marshall's shoulders slumped at this, but he said: "Fine." And took his bike back to the shed.

Later; the gang was seen at the diner, talking, laughing, and eating. That's when someone came up to their table. "Hey guys." said the stranger. Sonny grinned, "Well, well, the 'man' is here." He said to his friends. Everyone was happy to see this person, "Hey, Trip!" greeted Sandra. This young man greeting his friends is Trip Helios; he is the quiet, polite, and calm young man. He is 17 years old, he has been the current leader for Sonny had to step down for various reasons. Trip sat with the others but he didn't engage much conversation. However, he noticed a young lady sitting by herself. It was Rubina. She was having a meal and she looks like she's finishing up. Trip seems to know her, but something else troubles him: There were three guys watching her, they were talking lowly. Trip had a bad feeling in his gut that this was not good. Rubina leaves a tip for the waiter and she gets up to leave. As soon as she left; the other three followed her. At once, Trip got up to follow them. "Leaving already, Trip?" asked Sonny. Trip turned to his friends, who looked concerned. "I'll be back." He assured them. Rubina was walking down the street, she turned to the alley and looked to see how much cash she has. Earlier before; she woke up and found a clutch bag. Rubina looked inside to see a million dollars in there! She was so shocked, "Who would give her this much money?" Rubina thought. There was a note in there, Rubina opens it and reads it. The note says: "Keep this money, it'll help you a little and let you start the life you always wanted." Rubina was counting the other remains of money when a male's voice called out, "I'll take it all, bitch." There was raucous laughter, Rubina looked up in shock. Three gangsters cornered her, "What do you want?" Rubina asked, she was so frightened that she backed away to the dead end of the alley.

"The dough you have, how much is it?" The first one demanded. "Not much." lied Rubina, not wanting to say how much she really has! "Listen, bitch, cough up the cash and no one gets hurt." said the leader. "Leave her alone." A voice said. The three of them turned around to see Trip approaching them, "Turn away, and get out of here." He commanded. "Aww, who's the tough guy?" said the second thug. "The lady here won't give up the dough she has in the bag." said the leader smugly. "That's her money and none of your concern." replied Trip. Rubina is about to take out the leader, but she was punched in the face and fell down. The three thugs laugh, they were about to take it until Trip kicks the leader's hand. "That's for laying a hand on a girl." Trip said. The second was about to attack, but Sonny grabbed him from behind and tackled him. "That's for calling her a bitch." Trip continued, still gesturing towards Rubina. The third is about to run, however Marshall blocked him and knocked him out. "And that's, for anyone, that tries to escape." finished Trip. The other three ran off in terror from Trip and the others. Later, Rubina regains consciousness, when she heard Trip's voice: "Hey, are you OK?" Rubina opened her eyes, her blurry vision cleared to see Trip, Sonny, and Sandra, Fan, Marshall, Pegaso, and Jade standing before her. "Don't worry, he won't come around to hurt you anymore." Sonny said to her. Once Rubina’s vision is cleared; she could see who it was. "It's you..." Rubina replied. Trip looked confused, then he remembered the scene at the blue sky. "Yeah, we met before. I was watching the sky..." recalled Trip. He looked down at Rubina, he offered her his hand. "I'm Trip." Rubina takes his hand and stood up, "I'm Rubina, Please call me Ruby." She said nicely. Sonny and the others watch, happy to see Trip helped this strange girl. Rubina went to them to their next destination. But Rubina is the danger magnet as it seems. She is confronted by animal humanoids who are willing to destroy her, Rubina is weak willed however it all changed when the creatures are defeated, by yours truly--Tamsin Tanner. Sonny and the others stare at her in horror. Then,  Tamsin outstretched her hand, her hand turned into a welcome gesture. “Come with me. Divide and conquer with me if you want to live.” And Sonny and his friends followed her. When Tamsin returned to Blue Moon; she found another letter from Idina: “Are you ready to find me, Sister? Here’s the location of our reunion. Don’t be late for this important date.”

There was directions, which lead to an abandoned warehouse. Tamsin and her new recruits went to that location, they took a van to get over there. They stopped it in time and got their weapons ready. Thy got inside the warehouse, and looked around. Tamsin looked up to a shadow figure. “Idina.” She greeted. Idina was wearing a kimono, she was smiling but it wasn’t a genuine one. “Sister, you have arrived!” Idina announced delightfully. Tamsin poised her gun at her own twin sister, “Idina, where are my friends? My rivals? Where’s Tyrus? Sim? The boys?” She asked. Idina smiled sadistically, “Tyrus, Simpleton, Coyote, George, and Merlin are caged. Eric, Dylan, Cassie, and Rachel are in a narrow room with cement slowly rising to entomb them in the walls.” She announced. Terror struck inside of Tam: “Please, let them go.” She begged. Idina looked at her crew, “Sister, you never told them about yourself? I’m surprised. You should’ve told them about the lives you took, all the children you were forced to kill.” Tamsin glared at her. “Stop it!” She commanded. But Idina would not ceased, “…All of the elders who were so weak to move….All of those with diseases….” continued Idina. “Shut up, shut up!” Tamsin demanded softly, putting her hands on her ears."Why waste time with these people? They don't care who you are, they pretty much don't want you in your lives. We weren't wanted sister. We can crush every human in other worlds." Idina ranted. Tamsin thought of this horrible idea, it sickened her. To kill all over again like she did before? No way, been there--done that. "NO!" Tamsin cried, firing a gun at Idina who fell to the ground, she glares up at Tamsin and the other new recruits who are prepared to fire until someone stepped in between Tamsin, her novices, and Idina. It was Tyrus, he looked battered of dirt and scrapes on his hands. 

“Wait, don’t do it!” Tyrus cried, holding his arms out to protect Idina. Idina stared at him in shock, “What?” She gasped. Tamsin was shocked, how did Tyrus got out from his prison? “What are you doing, Tyrus?” Tamsin asked. “Don’t kill her, she is your own flesh and blood. Your sister! I know what she did was wrong but I see a girl who is struggling inside. She hates the world because of the mistreatment.” Tyrus explained. He turned to Idina and said, “Yes, I know. I read about you.” Tyrus turned back to Tamsin, “You two had been through some troubles. But the difference is you were given a better life and she never had any foster family. She wants to destroy humanity because of what people have done to her, right?” Tamsin nodded feebly, “Yes. She is.” She admitted. Tyrus smiled, “I knew she was.” He said. Tyrus turned to Idina again. “Idina, that’s your name right? Listen, please don’t kill your sister. She and your mother are the only ones you got.” He explained. Idina was trembling, “What?” She said softly. “You want to kill someone? Kill me, please. If this will satisfied you, then you must do what you must.” announced Tyrus, spreading his arms out and closed his eyes. A revelation came upon Idina, she was in great shock of Tyrus’s attempt of martyrdom complex: “What…Why is he….nice to me?” She wondered to herself. She clutched her head, thinking of Sean Griffin. Sweat rolling down her face and she screams out, “UGH, WHAT AM I DOING TO ALL HUMANITY?!”

Coyote, Merlin, George, Simpleton, Eric, Dylan, Cassie, and Rachel were free, thanks to Blue Moon. It turns out that Tyrus escaped after he bent the bars open with all of his strength. He had been working out a little. He was so inspired by Tamsin that he wishes to be brave and tough like she is. But he meets Leander, who leads him to Tamsin and Idina where he told him everything. Tamsin went to him, placed her hands on his shoulders, “Thank you, my friend.” She said. Tyrus nodded. As it turns out; Tyrus befriended Eric, Dylan, Cassie, and Rachel who were surprised as they apologized for before. Coyote, Simpleton, George, and Merlin befriend him too for his bravery. Together; they all decide to go find Idina—wherever she may be. And Tamsin and her newest recruits can find the voice of the girl singing. In the meantime; Idina was alone in the dark, thinking to herself about Tyrus. His selflessness. “Mother.” She whispered. “Are there humans who are kind? Just like this boy?” Nikita appeared, she also looks redeemed and flabbergasted. Both mother, Nikita, and daughter, Idina, were in great shock by what just happened. Nikita had also saw Tyrus as she was thinking about how kind he was and wondered if there were humans like that too.
