Jawbreaker Banshee--Chapter 1

My friends, I have came up with the most amazing story ever. This one is called Jawbreaker Banshee, this one is about how a former fairy became a banshee--and a queen of them in fact--by the humiliation and betrayal of her wicked stepmother. Now, the Queen of Banshees was finally going to get her revenge once and for all. Meanwhile, someone is also has the same goal as the Banshee Queen but she plans on exposing the stepmother's so called peaceful facility as nothing more than a nightmarish place of terror. There is also a fighting competition, Jawbreaker Battle Royale where there will be some teeth broken and blood spilled in a battle.

Please enjoy this lovely story, hope you guys like it! Thank you. --KatDon 

Chapter 1: The Fall and Rise of the Banshee Queen 

Tir na Nog, a place of wonder and beauty. A place where fairies live as the sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, birds tweeting, animals grazed food which was enough and plentiful. But in these parts, there lived a little girl by the name of Clidna, Clidna Ninian who was a fairy princess. Clidna's mother died when she was 7 years old however her father, King of the Fairies name Alberich, remarried a bloodless, cold hearted, manipulative Ice Queen name Beira Frost. Beira was a cranky woman who had aging lines, plump, and pretended to be a kind person when she wasn't for real. She also had an attitude, very rude to Clidna and to everyone else, including her husband. Beira only favorited her annoying, violent, and word repeative son name Donn. Clidna's step-aunts, Maeve and Ernmas, were Beira's sisters. And Maeve and her husband, Ailill, were a nice couple. Eccentric, odd with a dry sense of humor but nice. Ernamas was always moody, it was hard to tell if she was in a good mood or not. Eramas was also extremely religious as she tries to convince Clidna about how going to the temple is the way to communicate to the High King Above. But Clidna was told once by her mother that the High King from Above will always love her, and Clidna could live the life under His power and live a good life as well as praying to him. Clidna remembered hearing that the High King was merciful, powerful, and kind as he treats everyone like his own children. In her lifetime; Clidna was always dealing with the problems of her stepmother and her step-aunt, Ernmas, and her stepbrother Donn. But worst of all; her father Alberich didn't make things better as he was abusive towards his family, even Clidna. Clidna found solace in flowery gardens and her only friends were the fairies. But there was one person who made her feel right....Shovon, her childhood best friend as they were very close to one another. That's when, they entered their friendship blossomed into romance. It seemed to Clidna that Shovon's brown hair and appearance looked more handsome every time she saw him. The two of them fell in love but Beira disapprove of them being together and she, Ernmas, and Maeve try to break the couple up so many times. No matter how much they try, they always failed. That's when Beira came up with a plot to kill Shovon. That night, while in the garden, Clidna and Shovon lied together and fell asleep. Early in the morning; Clidna woke up to find Shovon was gone. 

She assumed he was gathering breakfast but then she noticed a strange thing red marks in the grass. Clidna followed the trail and stopped to make a terrifying discovery: Shovon's body was found all masses of blood over him, lifeless he was. Clidna screamed, tears streamed down her face and picked up his body; craddling it before going into the Village of Corbenic. She shouted out, "HELP!!!! HELP!!!! HELP!!! SOMEONE HAS BEEN MURDERED!!!!" The crowd responded back, "There she is! The witch that put a spell on this boy!" They grabbed Clidna, who dropped the body of her lover, as she was whipped many times, tied her arms to her sides as they spin her and threw fruits, vegetables, and raw meat at her while laughing at her misery. It was so excruciating for Clidna, she could not cover her ears because her hands were tied up. The laughter, it was so loud and it was a lot of guffawing. "Make it stop, make it all stop!" Clidna thought. It all became a blur as Clidna woke up in a dark place. As her eyes adjusted to the dim light, she saw that it was candles and in an empty cathedral. "How did I end up in here?" wondered Clidna. "I did that." A voice said, there was a blinding light and a giant entity appeared before Clidna. Clidna was terrified to see this but the entity spoke up once more, "Fear not! I have saved you from those savages. I am the High Ruler of the Fairies. My name is Finvarra." Clidna looked at him, "Why did you bring me here?" She demanded. "I came to tell you that your stepmother and her sisters had plotted this. They were the ones responsible for the death of your lover. They also caused your excruciating torture." explained Finvarra. Clidna could not believe her ears, her stepmother caused this? She had killed Shovon?! "No, it can't be!" gasped Clidna. "And also, as we speak, she and her sisters--including Ailill and Donn--had took everything from your father. Every single penny from him and left him poor. And abandoned him." Finvarra continued, "Now they are starting a facility with their ill-minded, fundamentalist mother--Hagnes." Clidna was so stunt as she tried to process this information, she couldn't breathe. "She did this.....To me so she can get what she wants....?" whispered Clidna. Something inside of her coursed, something like rage stirred up inside. And she let out an inhuman cry, which could be heard from the depths of Annwn. Something happened next, there was young, beautiful girls who were barefooted, tattered clothing, and messy haired. They surround Clidna as they kept whispering to her over and over again of the word, "Ladyship......Ladyship.......Ladyship..." 

Clidna realized these troubled girls are Banshees as they chose her to be their queen. So, she took the role as their queen...Of the Banshees. There was also many types of Banshees, some were very special. These special banshees were called The Banshee Ten. The Banshee Ten were traumatized by events in their lives of being bullied, abused, etc. The Banshee Ten were never given no mercy, no empathy from other people, it was nothing but cruelty. There was pain and humiliation and made them feel worthless. Now that they became banshees, they took their revenge. The names of the Banshee Ten are Cassandra, Luca, Pandora, Demeter, Kali, Medea, Izanami, Echo, Naia, and Jobina. In modern day time, far from the Corbenic Village that was burnt by the Banshees long ago; there was a place called Avalon. Avalon has three cities in the valley: There was a south edge town called Finias District, an east edge city titled Gorias Sector, and there was an inner core of this metropolis known as Lyonesse Kingdom. It was all very harmonious as Princess Rhiannon Mischa was holding a ceremony to make the stern, elusive friend of hers, Jude Emrys, her personal knight whom she admires her friend for awhile. While that was going on; Clidna, Queen of the Banshees, crashed the party. She looked like a whole different person than she was before. Her dark ashen blonde hair was now a brownish black color, her olive skin became porcelain white, and her brown eyes became amber. Her figure was slender and buxom, her lips were full yet voluptous. Clidna places a curse on the number four, where she prophesised that four people will die from the chaos of the Golden Apple. The Golden Apple was a deadly weapon that was lethal as it was like some sort of explosion that can be used in the wrong hands. Rhiannon dreaded from hearing this as she recalled that she lost her three brothers and sisters: Marrok, Cabal, Fenris, and Siria. She became weary as she begins to recall the grisly images from her mind: The woods, the crazy woman, Fenris killed from the blade in his neck, Cabal shot, Marrok stabbed in the back, and Siria was  the last one, decapitated. Rhiannon screamed and wept over the bodies of her siblings. Since that day, Rhiannon could never forget and vowed to herself that nobody will die again. She won't let anybody die like that. 

Graduated student and released from the facility called Fimbulwinter; Aynia Sumarr was the daughter of Bridget Verner, a duchess exiled from the Ice Crone name Beira Frost. Aynia once worked at Fimbulwinter, a place known to help children with neurodevelopmental issues but was horrified by how Beira and the staff were mistreating these kids and want them to deal with it. Aynia voiced out her disagreement but Beira did not listen to her so Aynia quits. Aynia has a younger sister, Etain, who has neurodevelopmental syndrome as she suffered a lot from Beira. Etain was also a graduate from Fimbulwinter, where it wasn't just a facility but also a school. But it was an excruciating moment for her. Beira never stop being a control freak to Etain, who didn't feel comfortable to be around her as she sensed that something was wrong with Beira, she wasn't 'Mama Frost' as she called herself. Aynia, Etain, and Bridget were upset by how much evil and manipulative Beira is. As stated before; Beira has mistreated the 'special kids', making parents pay more than a 100 pieces of coins and bills. She never gives the best treatments as she promises she would and making those poor kids with syndromes and disorders deal with the problems they have. And abuses her use with the blue bloods to restrain the violent kids in the most physical way as she is verbally and emotionally abusive towards her staff. Even towards the good ones and she fired them whenever they try to speak their mind about the kids. Beira treats everyone like they are special, like a mother, but she doesn't help the kids who are being bullied. She forces her staff members in long, long meetings. She is greedy and only cares about is money. She needs money for her hair, her clothes, and at the beauty salon. It was really pathetic. Beira doesn't resolve big things with either teacher or student, she even accused a volunteer name Gus--a crude man that writes children's books about 'special kids'--to being a child predator, a drug dealer, having a dirty bathtub in his house, had naked pictures of himself, and how his teeth is bad. Beira and her sisters, who also work at the place, by bringing people in who are closer to them and do not bring others who seemed to know better because they think they are going to screw it up for them. The most sick part is that people can't see the menacing, spiteful, and money grubbing crone that Beira is. 
In a review about Fimbulwinter, someone once commented that this place was like a country club. Disgusting! Revolting! Unrelenting! Nobody could escape this madness, it was like the people were blinded or brainwashed. Aynia could not understand it as she plans to expose the truth about how terrible Fimbulwinter is. And is going to assist her passionate sister into helping kids. One night at the casino, Fortune Island, Aynia was playing slot machine games with her cousins, Li Ban and Fanya, as they were having a blast. Aynia had to leave for a moment to use the bathroom and excused herself. As she was walking back; someone called out: "Hey there, beautiful! Would you like to experience magic?" It was a man in a black, bowler hat and a purple buttoned shirt and indigo pants. He looked very attractive, winking at her. Aynia shook her head, smiling. "Nah, that's OK. Thanks though." She said. The man in a bowler hat was persisted. "I'll do it for free. Promise." He called out. Aynia seemed intrigued so she decided to give it a try so she sat by and watched as the mystery man revealed the tarot cards for Aynia's future: The first one was The High Pristess. "On this journey, you will have the power to see and feel the perspective view of others." said the mystery man. The second tarot was Temperance, "You will make people feel secured." The mystery man continued. The third card was Strength, "No matter what happens, never give up on what's important." The mystery man said. The fourth and last card was The Star. "One day, you will shine bright in the wonderous sky." finished the mystery man, handing her a blue rose. Aynia gasped with delight, blue roses were her favorite flowers. Those who were watching this applauded with delight. "How did you do that?" Aynia asked, playfully. "My pretty, it's magic." The mystery man replied, leaned over and kissed her cheek. Blushing, Aynia said thank you and went away. Little did Aynia know that this mystery man was none other than Amadan Dubhan, the dark fairy trickster and the right hand man of the Banshee Queen--Clidna! Speaking of her, Clidna appeared behind Amadan in a long, beautiful black dress and her hair in a high bun. Her dark nailed hands placed on Amadan's shoulders and leaned over at him, "Who was that?" asked Clidna. "Just a lovely lady." claimed Amadan with a shrug. Clidna looked and saw Aynia, who caught up with her cousins, and is laughing and talking with them while holding the blue rose. "More like a pretty critter." whispered Clidna. She smiled to herself as she thought: "Move over, Ice Crone, it seems the Banshees will expose you. I believe my plans hae changed, stepmother. I'm not going to kill you, oh no....I'm going to EXPOSE YOU!!!!" 

Clidna, disguised under the name of Mongfind, as she knocks on the door of Aynia's door. 'Mongfind' explains that she is here to offer and help those who need help on improving physically, mentally, and emotionally. Aynia seemed interested but her mother, Bridget, was unsure because of the cost. However, 'Mongfind' says that it's free so Aynia decides to try it out. Aynia maybe an exiled fairy princess but she has a fear of heights and that is why she cannot fly so much. She's thin yet she has cellulite on her stomach, her upper arms, and her thighs. Aynia is clumsy, she's not so agile and can be quite a klutz. Her life was about to change forever! While driving with this mysterious woman; Clidna asked what the catch was, Mongfind smiled and said, "I knew you'd be interested." She explained to Aynia that there is a fighting competition known as 'Jawbreaker Battle Royale'. Jawbreaker Battle Royale is where a bunch of fighters--of any kind--go against one another to claim the title as Jawbreaker Champion. Jawbreaker was a candy, but also Mongfind use that as a way that in fights that people could really spit out some teeth and one sucker punch could really break their jaws! Aynia liked that idea so she decides to sign up. While at the place to help her improve better; Aynia was taken into a room as she was strapped into a seated chair, she had patches and wires all over her. Scientists were pressing buttons and pulling switches, then Aynia begins to feel pain. The pain intensified and Aynia screamed at how much it hurts. It all went white with Aynia's screams of agony echoed. When Aynia woke up, she felt something different about her. She found out she can run fast, she learn that she was strong as she can lift heavy things, and has superhuman reflexes. As Aynia lifted her shirt, she almost screamed. Her cellulite was nowhere on her body and she looked so thin! "Shit just got real!" whispered Aynia, she laughed with excitement. And she also learned of powers she gained: Energy wave emission, interface creation, memory manifestation, danger intuition, tactile thought projection, and absorbing memories, powers from others through skin contact. Aynia was overjoyed that she left the place as Clidna watched her leave, "We have ourselves one happy customer." She remarked. Aynia came back home as she displayed her new powers before her sister and mother, who are shocked and amazed by this. Aynia then said about the Jawbreaker Battle Royale! The three former staff members that were precious to Aynia were Vivian Boyne, Flidais Prospero, and Arianrhod Meadwort. Vivian and Arianrhod are two good friends while they were encouraging towards Aynia and Etain about following their dreams. 

Flidais Prospero was a kind young lady with a son, a stepdaughter and a husband. The three of them were fired, or as 'Mama Frost' would say 'let them go'. But Aynia decided to turn the tables as she plans on opening her own facility but much nicer than the other one. Vivian was married as she received a phone call from Aynia. Vivian was happy to hear that she has been accepted for a job by Aynia. The same with Flidais and Arianrhod when Aynia phone called them! Li Ban, who quit from the job, was also trying to find a job as she accepted Aynia's offer to be the therapist and Fanya, who just finished schooling, is now working as the eye doctor of the facility. Aynia did not want people, not her family, friends or loved ones to know what she has been up to. She plans on filming proof of the facility's dysfunctional. Aynia built a mirror camera so it may fit into a hat and be in disguise. She needed a liable source, someone who is responisble and they can do a good job on it. It was going to be a difficult time but she has to put a stop to this money grubbing, vindictive ice queen that believes to be doing good when she's really not. Meanwhile; the early bell rang, A young man by the name of Gavin Robin begin running down the empty halls, he was wearing a schoolboy uniform of long pants and a buttoned shirt. “C’mon, c’mon. I can’t be late. I know I can’t be late but what else can I do?” He thought. But when he got inside, he found himself lost and not knowing where else to go. “Ohhhhkaaaaayyyy, where do I go?” thought Gavin. He felt agitated, “Where am I supposed to find Class 1A?” He cried. “What, you weren’t given a tour? A schedule?” A voice asked in a snarky tone. Gavin turns around to see a tall boy with a schoolboy uniform.  “Yeah, been there—done that pal. I’m Bran Wren.” He remarked. “I’m Gavin Robin.” said Gavin. Bran looked at him with narrowed eyes, “Gavin, huh. Looks like someone’s on a bad start on their first day.” He turned around and walked away with a half-hearted wave. “Later.” He confessed. Gavin watches him go, “What’s with him?” He thought, and then he walked to find his first class. Gavin was different from everyone else: He was kind, laid back but was hardheaded, passionate and impulsive. Gavin was a happy guy while also remaining go-lucky yet never stops believing. Gavin had a marked lack of self-restraint that often led him into trouble, causing both his friends and family to worry over him. His limited self-control extended to his temper, and as a result it was short at best and murderous at the very worst. When sufficiently provoked, his anger could drive him into a frenzy, accompanied by horrific levels of violence. And as for Bran; he is a very honest man. He holds no restraint when it comes to speaking his mind, even when he knows it would not be wise to do so or when it could spark conflict. Bran is also pragmatic: he has a strong aversion to exposing himself to dangerous situations. Bran was extremely hot-headed, easily becoming frustrated and quick to resort to violence when pushed. But both of them are pretty good people despite their rivalry. 

It didn't take too long for this rivalry to stir up intensity between the two: There was a lot of competition with these guys. Gavin struggled in the training, Bran smirks at him. "What's the matter, Incomer? Not so tough isn't it?" Bran taunted. But Gavin pushed on, he managed to get stronger. Bran was angry that Gavin went up higher in the ranks by all he was trained for. Bran is stressed over Gavin trying to take the top. The fighting competition, Jawbreaker Battle Royale, was all that everyone was talking about so Gavin decided to sign up as well as Bran after he did. Later; Gavin was walking home when he heard someone walking. There was a lot of rustling and it made him jumped. "Hello, anyone there?" Bran called, seeing a dark silhouetted figure. "You OK?" said the figure, Bran was annoyed. He knew that voice, "You...What are you doing here?" He demanded. Gavin stepped out of the shadows, "You look like you need some help." He remarked. "I don't need your help." Bran snapped. Gavin rolled his eyes, "Look, you don't like me and I don't like you. Let's try to get along better." He said. Bran looked at him, he sighed. "Fine. Whatever." agreed Bran. Gavin nodded, "Good." He replied. Then he pulled out something out of his pocket and tossed him a can of soda. Bran caught it with ease, snapped it opened and drinks it in one gulp. "So, you having a hard time?" Gavin asked. Bran looked angry, "Why do you care?" He demanded. "Come on, don't be that way." Gavin said, looking annoyed. "Why are you pretending to be nice to me?" Bran demanded. "Well, for a sore loser, I thought maybe you need someone to help you." Gavin said. "Ha, very funny." Bran replied sarcastically. "I'm not kidding, for someone as weak as you, you really are pathetic." Gavin said. Bran was about to let him have it but something strange was happening. Gavin and Bran sensed someone was there so he turned and looked into the shadows. "I know you're there, don't be scared." Gavin called out. "I'm not scared." answered Clidna simply. "Then come on out." Gavin urged gently. "Then you'll get scared" asked Clidna. "No, I won't." promised Gavin. Clidna hestitantly comes out of the shadows as she reveals herself. The two didn't look scared, though they did look surprise though. They ogled at her before Bran finally saying, "I know who you are." Clidna looked at him with slight nervousness, "Who am I?" She asked in a cool tone. Bran smirked, "You're the Queen of Fairyland." He said. "Pardon?" Clidna asked, after staring at the two for an awkward minute. 

"You're the Queen of Fairyland, I've heard stories about you." Bran said. "What the hell are you talking about?" Gavin asked. Clidna suddenly had an idea, she smiled gratefully: "Yes, I am the Queen of Fairyland. I am Gloria." She replied. "So you are." Bran answered, nodding with amazement. "Mmm-hmm." Clidna fibbed, "What are you guys talking about?" The boys were trying to make a competition to see who would be the best and Clidna becomes a peacemaking as she said, "You two will do great." And left them. The next day, Gavin left his home and is on the way to JBR however he runs into Bran by 'coincidence'. The two were about to argue however things were about to be different. "Excuse me?" A voice called out. Gavin and Bran turned to see Aynia, who was wearing a tank top and jeans with fingerless gloves. "I'm trying to get to Jawbreaker Battle Royale, can you guys help me get there?"  Aynia asked. Gavin and Bran looked back at her in disbelief, this girl was heading towards the JBR Competition? Get real, the two of them tried not to laugh but they agree to help her. Aynia walked with them as she got to talk to them a bit but then, Banshees appeared from behind. Then, Ayna prepared herself as she waited for the enemies to come before she gave them a sucker punch. Gavin and Bran's disbelief turned to shock, they were amazed by this. Aynia noticed they were staring and made a joke, "OK, OK, I look pretty so what?" Gavin and Bran were really shocked by this before laughing themselves silly by this shocking amazment. They thought she was a girl and a weakling, guess they were wrong. Just then, Gavin's smile faded as he saw a banshee creeping p behind Aynia. "LOOK OUT!" He cried. Too late, she is being held hostage by the banshees. One of the banshees looked Aynia over and gouged her heart out. "Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!" cried Gavin and Bran. The banshees were cackling with glee but they wouldn't laugh for long. Aynia  rise, her eyes were hollow and black with red pupils. She had blood coming from the whole in her chest. Her appearance was different: There were short ram horns, her hair became red like mahogany, her clothes matched her hair and her face was pinkish white. She was rising as some sort of undead being who was slaughtering the banshees in order to get her heart back. And she did kill them all, she butchered them. Gavin and Bran were shocked by this. They couldn't believe that someone like her would do such things. Finally, Aynia faced the lead banshee, who was holding her heart so Heart less Aynia put up a pretty good fight. She punched banshee hard and her heart went up, Aynia caught in her hand and placed it back in her chest. The hole in her chest closed up and she turned back to normal. Gavin and Bran could only stare at her in amazement. Who was this girl? Whoever she was, she was nothing out of the ordinary.

Once Aynia steadied herself; she looked around and horrified of the massacre of all the carcasses of banshees. "Wow...What happened here?" asked Aynia. Gavin and Bran were in disbelief as Bran was about to say, "Um...well....." but Gavin elbowed him as he said, "Nothing! It was nothing!" Aynia looked at them both funny, "OK....I think. Heh, so was I good out there or what?" He said. "You rock!" said Gavin with enthusiasm. Stunt; Aynia begin to smile, "Oh, thanks." She said. "No, really! You should've seen yourself tearing apart the Banshees!" Gavin exclaimed. Aynia almost laughed, "What? I didn't pulverized them." She said. "Yeah, you did! Remember when you're heart was ripped out? You came back to life and took them on....Violently!" Bran explained. Aynia shook her head, "Uh huh, sure." She said. "Don't believe me? Ask your magic mirror!" exclaimed Gavin. So, Aynia did as she smirked and said to the mirror: "Mirror, mirror, placed in hand, who is responsible for the Banshee bloodshed in this land?" Then, what she saw was herself but it could't be. Her wound in her chest where her heart used tobe and all that rage...That unbelievably rage inside of a girl. "You mean, that was me?" gasped Aynia. "Sure as hell. Who else would it be?" Gavin replied. Aynia placed the mirror down and pulled the two in a link of arms as they were pulled close to her, "Now be honest with me boys....Do I really look that bad?" Aynia asked. The two boys didn't know what to say, "Uh....." They said. Gavin held up a finger and said, "Hold on one second!" He pulled Bran along with him as he whispered, "You tell her!" Bran looked at Gavin, "Me?!" He rasped. "Yes, you! Just be honest with her. She looked pretty bad like that." Gavin replied softly. Bran sighed, "Fine, I'll do it." He whispered. Bran turned to Aynia and was distracted by her beauty so he stared at her and said, ".....No." Aynia looked at him with disbelief, Gavin's palm hits his head and seized Bran as he screamed: "IDIOT, YOU HESITATED!" Bran turned back, "I DID NOT!!!" He shouted. Aynia pushed the two apart as she said, "GUYS!!! Enough, come on! Really?" Then, walked ahead and then she said, "So, are you guys gonna argue all day or we going to get the arena?" One moment later; Aynia, Gavin, and Bran arrived at the Jawbreaker Competition and found that it was in an indoor stadium dome. "So, this is the arena of the Jawbreaker Competition....Hmm, cool." Aynia said. The three of them stepped inside where Mongfind, the one in charge, greeted them and got to meet Aynia: "Congratulations; you made it. How about getting rid of the opponents above you, and aim for the top? And defeat the Banshee Queen?"  Mongfind asked. Aynia was amazed, she had heard about the legendary Banshee Queen. Aynia accepted, then Mongfind gives her a cellphone so she can receive phone calls from her about who she is up against. Later while in her bunk room of the stadium dome; she laid there as she waited and try to make herself comfortable while examine her powers. The two guys she went with were in their own bunk rooms. Just then, Aynia's cell rang and she answered it. 

"Aynia, your first fight is arranged. Are you ready?" Mongfind asked. Aynia nodded, "On my way." She said. After she hung up; Aynia head over as her phone beeeped and there was a name in big letters with a computer voice, "GAVIN ROBIN." and the opponent's  voice appears, "Hit me with your best shot!" Aynia arrived in the arena and looked at Gavin. "So, you ready?" She asked. And the fight begins as they clash with one another as Aynia used her energy gift, her memory power, and others she has equipped inside her. In the middle of the battle; Aynia made contact with his touch and begins to absorb his memories as she could see Gavin's memories. While this was happening; Aynia felt such excitement and nervousness coursing at the same time in her body. Her blood burning, her heart feels like nuclear, and she felt like she was radioactive at an instant. The memories are inside of Aynia's mind: Gavin was going on a trip tomorrow, so his parents are having a dinner with him before he goes. Later; Gavin's girlfriend, Lori, came to see him in his room. Lori has long length dark brown hair and a slender build. She wished he didn't have to go but Gavin has to. He couldn't abandoned the task he was given, Lori expressed her sadness of missing him. Then, Gavin cupped her face and pulled her close. Their eyes locked onto one another's, "You remember what I promised you? I swear to protect you, Lori. That's my assignment." He said. Lori nodded, "OK." She said. Gavin and Lori embraced each other, it was warm and strong. "I'll come back soon." Gavin whispered. The next day; Gavin left as Lori watched him go. She sighed, wondering if he'll be OK. In the meantime; Gavin and his cousin, as well as best friend, Jeremiah 'Jeremy' Griffin, were ambushed by the enemy as their helicopter was shot in the sky. Back with Lori and the Sakata family, they had been told that Jeremy and Gavin are dead. Meanwhile; Gavin and his best friend had survived from the crash as they are kidnapped by unknown members. Gavin was forced to do a task, one of the members threw Jeremy on the ground. Then, the leader--who had a mask on--forced Gavin to kill Jeremy. Gavin was hesitant however all the rambling of incoherrent shouting tensed the soldier however Gavin could hear his friend say to him, "Gavin, it's OK. I forgive you." In his panic; Gavin let out a scream and killed him. Horrified; Gavin managed to escape and got away from the enemy as he found a medical center where he begged to speak to his girlfriend and his family. Hearing about Gavin being alive; Gavin's parents and Lori were overjoyed by this as Gavin returns to them. But while happy to have Gavin home; they noticed something was different about him. Gavin had mental breakdowns, nights where he woke up screaming in utter terror, and try to attempt to take his own life which resulted him being hospitalized. Finally, Aynia gave him a sucker punch and defeats him. Gavin raised his head and laughed, "Not bad....For a fairy princess." He said. Aynia panted, smiling back. "Thanks. I. don't. I don't know my own strength." She said while gasping for breath. Gavin struggles to get up and walks off. After he got up; Gavin left but said to her, "No matter what happens, fight to the top and never stop, OK?" Aynia nodded and Gavin walked out. Aynia panted, she leaned against the wall as Mongfind appeared before her, "Congrats, Aynia. You are ranked 18." She said. Then, she pulls out a chair: "Have a seat, I think you're going to love this." said Mongfind. Aynia was curious to know but she did as she was told. Suddenly, a slot machine appeared. "What is this?" Aynia asked. "This is a slot machine that tells you who is your next opponent. They call it the Who's Your Next Opponent? Show " Mongfind explained. Aynia sat and looked at the slot machine to see who her second opponent was. Later; Aynia was on the phone with her mother, "Yeah, no worries mom--No killing here. I'm actually having fun." She said. Then, there was a pause. "The opponents are good sports but I guess I haven't met the others yet." 

"Aynia, it's me. You're second fight is arranged." Mongfind replied in a chipper voice. Aynia nodded, "Gotcha." She confirmed. She hung up and head over to the arena. Her phone beeped and on it says a name followed by a computer voice: "BRAN WREN." Then, the opponent's voice responded back: "Do you have what it takes to beat me?" Aynia appeared and saw Bran looking all arrogant. "You really think you're going to beat me?" Bran asked. "Not saying I believe I will but you saw how I kicked ass today. Now stop whining and fight, all right?" Aynia snapped. And so they did battle one another. Just like before; Aynia made contact with his touch and begins to absorb his memories as she could see Bran's own memories too: "Would you like to come with me and see the sights at night?" asked Bran. But then added, "You can if you want." Eleanor was quiet however a faint smile appears, "OK. I like that." She admitted. Bran smiled, "I knew it. I'll pick you up at...eight?" He asked. "Yes, eight. That's perfect!" said Eleanor with sudden enthusiasm. "Good. See you then." said Bran, and he went off. Eleanor was excited, maybe some people here weren't so bad. On this date; Eleanor was running through a meadow with Bran when they were confronted and killed by some men. The bullet into his love killed her. Aynia lets go but she gets a punch from Bran who screams, "Get out of my head!!!!!" "SHUT UP!!!!" Aynia shouted and kicked him to the curb. Like Gavin; Bran was also a good sport and praised her fighting. He left but then said before leaving the stadium that made Aynia smile, "You know, girls can fight just as boys can too!" Then; Aynia looked and saw Mongfind entering, clapping at her efforts. "Well done, Aynia. You are now ranked 17." She said. "Many, all these ranks. I wonder who number one will be." Aynia said. "Oh, you'll find out soon enough." Mongfind said. Aynia sat in the chair and looked at the slot machine for the shortage of Who's Your Next Opponent? Show. She watched the slot machine and looked at who is next. The next day, Aynia's cellphone rang and she answered it, "Hello Aynia, it's Mongfind. I have for you the next battle. Come to my office, will you?" Mongfind asked. This made Aynia curious, "What for?" She asked. "You'll see, just come." Mongfind said. Aynia nodded, "Sure, be right there." She replied and hung up. A few minutes later; Aynia left Mongfind's office and her phone beeped as the name appeared with a computer voice that says, "PRINCESS RHIANNON MISCHA." and the opponent's phrase was: "The curse of the future, I must protect the number four." Aynia entered the arena and prepared her battle with the princess, who put up a pretty good fight herself! Aynia made contact with her touch and begins to absorb her memories as she could see Rhiannon's memories: Clidna places a curse on the number four, where she prophesised that four people will die from the chaos of the Golden Apple. The Golden Apple was a deadly weapon that was lethal as it was like some sort of explosion that can be used in the wrong hands. Rhiannon dreaded from hearing this as she recalled that she lost her three brothers and sisters: Marrok, Cabal, Fenris, and Siria. She became weary as she begins to recall the grisly images from her mind: The woods, the crazy woman, Fenris killed from the blade in his neck, Cabal shot, Marrok stabbed in the back, and Siria was  the last one, decapitated. Rhiannon screamed and wept over the bodies of her siblings. Finally letting go;  Aynia took down Rhiannon. Rhiannon panted, she couldn't believe it but Aynia approached her saying: "Your siblings were killed huh. And the Banshee Queen placed on the number 4....And you're trying not to let that happen like it did before." 

Surprised; Rhiannon looked up to her, "I...I just--" She replied. "I know, but you want to know what I hear? The curse has been changed." answered Aynia. Rhiannon looked up at her, "What?" She asked. "According to what Mongfind told me; it is revealed that someone had altered the curse. These four people, who you'll meet one day, won't die but sleep and only than someone who has a heart for them will wake them up." explained Aynia. Rhiannon felt tears streaming down her face. She looked very relieved, happier in fact. And thanked Aynia before walking out. Once she was gone; Mongfind appeared. "Nice work, Aynia. You are now ranked 16." Mongfind praised. "Are you going to do this every single time I defeat somebody?" inquired Aynia, a little annoyed. "Of course, now quit your whining." Mongfind scolded. So, Aynia sat for the Who's Your Next Opponent? Show. To who's next on the list. Later; Aynia got a phone call from Mongfind: "Aynia, I have the next match ready. Let's hope you can take two for tango in this fight." said Mongfind. Aynia grinned, "Sure thing." She said. After hanging up; Aynia walked to the arena again but her phone beeped and her phone had names there. Only two with the same last name. "ROSALIE AND LILIAN JORDAN." A computer voice said. Then, two voices at once said their phrase. The first said, "Prepare for trouble, freak." and the second echoed: "Make it double, sis." Aynia entered the arena as she faced two sisters who acted like twins. They were arrogant, agreed with one another and were pretty used to these battles. That's when; Aynia made contact with their touch and begins to absorb their  memories as she could see the sisters' memories: A shimmering light appears before her. Lilian looked up, she saw that it was Rosalie. "Is that you, Sis?" Lilian asked. "You're going to be OK, Lily. I know you were here. It's OK, I forgive you my dear sister." replied Rosalie. Letting them go of skin contact from the sisters; Aynia defeated them by doing a double knockout. They were OK but were impressed by Aynia's fighting skills. After the girls were escorted out of the arena; Mongfind clapped and smiled, "Good job, Aynia. You are now ranked 14--Since you took down both sisters, that is." She remarked. And then, Aynia looked at the slot machine for the next battle. Lying on the bed of her bunk; Aynia stared up at the ceiling as she thought of the memories she saw inside her mind and wondered why. Why was she given that ability? And also, why does every time she can see this; her heart beats fast with such excitement and nervousness while also this adrenaline inside her. Just as she was curious to know more; her cellphone ring and she answered it. 

"Aynia, it's me. The next battle is ready for you." Mongfind chirped. Aynia replied back: "OK, I'm coming." And hung up. As she made her way to the arena for her next battle; her phone beeped and three names appeared: "VICTOR THOMAS, GWYN HAROLD, AND CORDELIA DIXON." And three people's voices appeared. "I am Ethos." said the first. "I am Logos." the second replied. "And I'm Pathos." finished the third. Aynia faced the trio and facing them all three wasn't that easy. But then, Aynia made contact with their touch and begins to absorb their memories as she could see the trio's memories: He was asleep again. 10 year old Victor Thomas dreamt for so long, even around morning. That's when he woke up with a start. He saw someone peering down at him, it was his best friend, Gwyn Harold. "Gwyn, what are you doing peering at me like that?" Victor asked in a groggy tone. "You were supposed to be ready, I was waiting for you to wake up. We were supposed to go to the Dixon's residence, remember? It's Cordelia's birthday." Gwyn explained. Victor groaned in disbelief, he couldn't believe it. He'd forgotten about that, it was Cordelia's tenth birthday today! He couldn't believe he forgotten about it. "Sorry, tell my Mom and Dad to wait for me. I'll be right down." said Victor. Gwyn nodded as he headed out. A few seconds later, Victor was dressed as he was waling with his family to the Dixon's residence. While at the Dixon's place; Victor and Gwyn had a birthday present they wanted to present. They got out a table and draw something on the table before using the elements of solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. They created a music box but Cordelia screamed because it looked inhuman from the looks of it. Cordelia begin to cry while her friends comfort her. Sometimes, Gwyn gets in trouble with the bullies and Victor & Cordelia come to his rescue. Gwyn appreciates at them however he hates being rescued all the time. Victor at times like to scare Gwyn. Finally Cordelia turned on him. "If you want to know so badly," she said, "Go into the city tonight to see those banshees." Victor agreed to this. The next night with flashlights, The trio were standing in a circle of light, looking left and right. All of a sudden his flashlight burnt out. The three friends stood motionless in the darkness, waiting for something to happen. Then, there was some creature with claw-like hands and a body that walked on all fours. Victor wanted to scream for help or for his friends to run either way, but he was so scared that he could not make a noise. Victor tried to flee, but the creature caught him. It attacked Victor and then there was a struggle between the creature, Victor tried to get the monster off him however the beast seized his arm and bit him in his wrist. Victor screamed, then he fainted from blood loss. Gwyn and Cordelia were so scared as they couldn't believe what they just witnessed. 

It took some tricky maneuvering but Aynia defeated the trio. Victor and his friends were overcome with amazement by how awesome Aynia was and they begged her to let them be her students if she could teach them. Aynia promised that she would--When she was done! Afte the trio left; Mongfind appeared: "Bravo, Aynia, bravo. You are now ranked 11." She said, "How does it feel to take on a triple thret?" Aynia smiled a little, "Oh, pretty good. It wasn't that bad." She admitted with a shrug. "Cool, now sit back and see who's next!" Mongfind replied, gesturing her to the slot machine. Later on; Aynia's cellphone ring, "Aynia, you there? It's me, Mongfind. Got another battle for you." Mongfind asked. "All right! I'm looking forward to it. How long is this gonna be?" said Aynia. "Don't ask, just have fun." Mongfind said, and the phone line went dead. Aynia hung up her cell, she left her bunk to go to the arena but her phone beeped and the name appeared on her phone: "CENDRINE LANCE." A computer voice read. And then, a timid girl's voice said, "Dear Mother, Luna. Forgive me." When Aynia got to the arena; there was a timid girl but she was eager to fight back. During the fight; Aynia made contact with her touch and begins to absorb her memories as she could see the troubled girl's memories: Cendrine panicked, she pulled out a knife, she aimed at her heart and prepared to kill herself. "NO!!!!" Luna cried, she seized her wrist as she struggled the knife away from her. Cendrine didn't have the energy to fight back, she looked weary and exhausted. Well, for someone who washed up on shore; she didn't look so good. Luna seemed upset, "Why would you try to kill yourself like that? Don't you know what life has in store for you? Don't do this to yourself, please!" She begged. In another instant; Cendrine was emotional as she was holding a gun and held it at the head of her friend Luna as she heard someone shouted in her ear: "I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU DON'T KILL THIS SHREW, I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Then, there was a loud gunshot and Cendrine screamed so loud that she prepared to kill herself but escaped. Aynia, out of pity, defeated her. After Cendrine was lead away; Mongfind appeared: "A splendid performance, Aynia. You are now ranked 10." She chirped. But Aynia didn't want to celebrate about it, "How could you praise me for that? You have no idea what that girl went through." She said. Mongfind was confused, "Whatever do you mean." She remarked. "That girl went through hell and someone that abused her had forced her to kill someone she admired and that woman was nice to her! How can you congraduate me for that? You have no idea what these people feel in their memories!" Aynia ranted. Then she walks away as Mongfind watched her go. Later, Clidna learns about the powers of memory that Aynia has. Meanwhile; Etain was haunted by the past as she begins to write down what had bugged her unless she lets it go and wrote a good poem: "Depressed. Angry. Sad. Confused. Low self-esteem, longing for perfection. Hatred towards self for as I am. Wondering 'why'. Numb, misunderstood. Hatred to the loudest speakers. Searching for a remedy of quiet and peace. Need acceptance, need more understanding. Wonder why, I can't shut up my ears. Your voice is so loud, can't you shut up? You like to annoy me, you like to get my attention. Here's a hint--I'm not into you. I don't go for the immature! The repeater! The irksome kinds. Police reinforcements, who the hell cares? You think everything's a criminal offense. You're so annoying. So nosy. Childish. I'm not into you. Leave me alone, I'm tired of you talkin' about my old shoes. I want you to quit it, I don't give a damn because your voice is sonorous. I can't concentrate, because you can't shut up! You want attention, manchild. Grow up and get real. I just wanna be normal, it's better than being different. I just wanna be--Whatever I want, instead of being weird." 

Etain decided to take a break and took a bunch of kaleidoscope goggles to wear as she went to a fantasy world of her own: In a vision; there were a crowd of yellow birds oddly walking while wearing the color blue and strolling in a circle. All around, there were candy cane looking trees, the ground was pink, and then, a goat-like horse trotted by. A man holding on to a fluffy tail of some strange critter going by. At a cafe, a waiter brings by drinks and a big sundae dessert with a cherry on top! People wearing colored gloves, mixed and match or the same thing on their hands. A girl has a swimming pool made out of big balloons that float above her house, a man rowing in black water and the sky was white but he noticed eccentric beings floating above him. A pair of boys walk by to see two birds above them, sleeping, and there was three moons. In the daytime, there is white birds flying by over the blue lake. A fountain stood there as fifty five, purple elephants drinking from the water in the fountain. Another creature with a long tail that zigzagged around a land of mushrooms, a boy using a noose to yank off the tooth of a skeletel dinosaur, and walking home when there is an encounter with another critter around. A mailman comes by with a stack of mail for grouchy-looking walruses. What's even more strange is balancing on a ball while riding a horse and having a fish in a bowl on your head. Holding up a bright lantern; going up the stairs in the dark. Roaring a boat to visit someone sitting above, people with big poofy hair walking only with their left foot and their poofy hair has different colors. A parade of many people playing instruments, some riding on other strange, friendly monsters while other critters are displayed for show. Again, there was a crowd of yellow birds walking in a circle from up and down just like before but their attire is of different colors. There was another hallucination of a dining room and a person eating ham and eggs. Joined by people coming in here and there, everywhere. There was a little mouse coming out of his home and into a house. In a box, a vixen came out to join. Since there wasn't enough; they go in a car and drive to get to a train. While riding in the train; it got dark and it begin to pour of rain. A goat strolled by, but the train crashed and they all went on to a ship. But the ship sinks however everyone ate their ham and eggs in the water while swimming to shore. A third mind trip shows a cap wearing feline appeared before everyone who was bored on a rainy day. The feline begin to grab the fish in the bowl and was balancing on a big ball. Soon, the feline begin to juggle a cup, a cake, two books, a milk on a platter, a toy boat with a little toy man. 

But the feline slips and falls however it continues to have fun with a couple of twins. The twins fly a kite in the house but are captured and the cat cleaned up the house. There was a girl letting her hair out from a window in an apartment building, a man with butterfly wings, giant mushrooms, a giant spider moving and spinning a web at the same time, a man playing fetch with a wolf in Central Park, a candy covered apartment, a policeman riding a unicorn, and moving chess pieces. The mountains were ice cream, the skies were made out of chocolate, the flies is made out of licorice, and houses made out of cinnamon. A reindeer lives in a little house of a forest and looks out the window to see the rabbit running over the house and stops in the doorway. The door knocking and the reindeer comes to the door to meet the rabbit, "Come inside my friend. An evil hunter is in the forest." There once was a woman lying on the ground in a treeless, mostly tawny field, looking up at a gray house on the horizon; a barn and various other small outbuildings are adjacent to the house, the image quickly fades as it now introduces of soft melting pocket watches. a figure as the famous seventeenth-century work in which a painter, thought to be a self-portrait of an artist, is depicted with his back to the viewer, in distinctive costume. Next; The viewer finds itself in front of an almost photo-realistic table setting with a slice of ham in the center. The scene is made surreal by the presence of an eye staring back at the viewer from the center of the ham. There was a geometric monster type creature and connected to a similar monster. The two creatures appear to be two parts of the same creature so that it appears to be wrestling itself. All over the background and on parts of the monster are boiled beans that look like they are melting. The monster stands on trees and a brown wooden box. The background is a blue sky with clouds, that are darker in some parts and lighter in others. A nude female figure rises from the back of the head; The male figure seen only from the waist down has bleeding fresh cuts on his knees. Below the central profile head, on its mouth, is a locust. A swarm of gather on the locust's abdomen, as well as on the prone face. In the landscape below, three other figures are arranged, along with an egg and sparse other features. Two of the characters in the landscape are arranged in such a way as to cast a long single shadow, while the other character is seen hurriedly walking into the distance. The viewer hear something ringing calmly, softly and got a closer look to see where bells float high in the sky. Then, comes across a horrifying scene: a blood-smeared nude woman, is seen lying on a couch. The assassin of the painting's title, a well-dressed man, stands ready to leave, his coat and hat on a chair next to his bag. He is however delayed by the sound of music, and in an unhurriedly relaxed manner, listens to a gramophone. In the meantime, two men armed with club and net wait in the foyer to ensnare him, whilst three more men also watch from over the balcony.

There was another horror place. A disembodied face hovering against a barren desert landscape. The face is withered like that of a corpse and wears an expression of misery. In its mouth and eye sockets are identical faces. In their mouths and eyes are more identical faces in a process implied to be infinite. Swarming around the large face are biting serpents. In the lower right corner is a hand print that was left by someone's own hand. Once the viewer panted from that horrible face, they come across Narcissus sitting in a pool, gazing down. Not far away there is a decaying stone figure which corresponds closely to him but is perceived quite differently; as a hand holding up a bulb or egg from which a Narcissus is growing. The viewer tried to get his attention but he didn't get up. After walking away; the viewer saw something strange in the distance as they saw of nearly identical men dressed in dark overcoats and bowler hats, who seem to be drops of heavy rain against a backdrop of buildings and blue sky. The men are spaced in hexagonal grids facing the viewpoint and receding back in grid layers. But that's not all; a man in an overcoat and a bowler hat standing in front of a short wall, beyond which is the sea and a cloudy sky. The man's face is largely obscured by a hovering green apple. However, the man's eyes can be seen peeking over the edge of the apple. Another subtle feature is that the man's left arm appears to bend backwards at the elbow. There is a lion, leopard, and a she wolf. There were people in a chase of an pointless game to get a black banner while hornets bite them and parasitic worms are sucking their blood. There was a leaden, smoky mist and the blazing backdrop against as the boat plough though the water of tormenting people. One of them try to get on the boat but they are pushed back in. Deep in the lust zone, The Minos lurk around and take the victims into the chaotic storms, where they swirl into the madness. People are seen lying the mud while filth and 'droppings' rained down hard on them. Two other people are seen pushing boulders at one another in a raging matter. Into another terror, There is a swampy river, where a man is seen being tortured by demons as a woman watches him suffering in delight. Folks are seen trying to commit suicide to escape their living hell but they are in deep and despair, they blame God for putting them in a place like this because of giving up on him and on hope, they are seen taking their tearful rage on nature. People are lashed with whips, forced to lie in a river of 'droppings', are hung upside down while their feet are burning, forced to walk backwards blindfolded, monsters tear at their flesh and cause them to bleed, and walk in circles 1000 times. One of them is crucified to the ground, as the others are forced to walk on her. The people are giving remedies after they were bitten by vipers in a room, the wounds of the females continue to open and close, & they are suffering of diseases and plagues. In a well, going down to see the others are in a frozen lake. 


Etain took off the kaleidoscope goggles as she was shaken by what she's seen and wonders if Aynia is doing OK.
