Chapter 2: Rouge Heifer 

Indeed, there was a storm! The winds were blowing, they were blowing until anyone's cheeks crack! Oh, how it rage on with tornadoes spew water until all the buildings of churches and anemometers were all drowned. "What the hell is going on? What is with this weather?" Lleu demanded. The convention was feeling like it was floating up by the power of the storm! The people scream, stuff was flying everywhere. "HANG ON!!!" Cassandra cried out. She and Gigi held hands while Justice was clinging onto a table but Jack came to the rescue. The others tried reaching for one another but then, the tempest was so strong that there was a blinding light. The storm was over, but the damage had been done! Cassandra and her friends woke up as they were covered in scars, blisters, and bleeding wounds but other than that, they were alive! Alive and well but injured. "We're alive! We're alive!" Jack panted. "Oh man! I thought we were all going to die!" Samson gasped, coughing and wheezing. Borvo cling tight to Cassandra, "I'm scared." He claimed. Cassandra held her hand, she leaned down and whisper in the scared boy's ear: "Me too, Borvo." They continued to walk and didn't stop until they found they find out where they are because it's not the convention. In the meantime; 16 year old Bryce Stuart woke up to see much debris and how the town looked destroyed. Everything around him was in pieces. Trees everywhere. No power, no heat, or anything else in the buildings that stood in one piece however they try to get the power to flick on but nothing happened! Bryce got up but noticed he was a mess. His clothes were wear and tear, his upper-body becomes more and more scarred, as a result of his experience from the storm. He looked around and saw how much was destroyed. The losses of other people and how some were lucky. "The town....the storm must've...Oh crap...." Bryce muttered to himself. He sighed but grimaced, "Ah! It hurts...." He cursed. There was a stick lodged in his side so Bryce gently pulled it out, but he cussed and eventually got it out. Bryce bleed but gripped a hand over the wound to not let it bleed so much. "HELLO!!!!! SOMEBODY!!!!" He shouted. 

Cassandra said, taking it and opened it as she said to Bryce, "Here, I know this is going to hurt but it's supposed to help you." She lathered it up. Bryce didn't cry out in pain, he was calm and cool about it. He focused on Cassandra's face, "An angel?" asked Bryce. Cassandra looked at him, "It's gonna be OK." She said honestly. Everyone was dehydrated and they went to search for water. For the time being; Aynia Grein, a girl around 14 to 15 years old, realized her friends was nowhere. "Bryce!!!!! Mavis!!!!" She called but no one replied. Aynia thought she would give up, thinking they mst be dead by now but she knew that they weren't. Somehow she could sense them and walked. Seeing a girl walking but also injured; Eulalie went to help Aynia after she saw that she fainted. Aynia was half awake as she looked to see Eulalie and said in a soft tone, "My angel..." Eulalie looked at her and smiled. "Don't worry, you're going to be OK. I promise you." She assured her. 15 year old Mavis Larson was searching for her friends and wasn't going to stop until she found her. She was searching around the broken down building city as this became quite a dark, but it wasn't night however the atmosphere seemed that way. There wasn't any power, there wasn't much around here and there was no one to turn to. It felt like a post apocalypse, like something bad happened but this was no apocalypse; this was the aftermath of a hurricane. She couldn't let herself get distracted, she has to keep her head on straight and wasn't going to change her course until she heard someone calling out to her. "Are you OK? You look badly wrecked." Deirdre called. Mavis glared at her in disbelief, "The storm hit us, what do you think?" She snapped. Deirdre was taken aback by this girl's comment but she knew she must be tired and exhausted. "What's your name? We want to help you." Deirdre asked. Mavis softened a bit, "Mavis." She replied. "I'm Deirdre." Deirdre called out. Mavis tried walking but almost fell. She caught herself as she was escorted by these girls. Mavis kept huffing and puffing as she thanked these strange but kind girls. Tamamo Mae clutched her hands into fists as she said, "Something's wrong, I don’t feel the same about something morally. Here I'm through with Onibaba’s ways. She wants her help in strengthening her control over her so called sanctuary and I won’t do it. It's time to release your fears, I won't think about what other people might say, I don’t want to be ashamed of my talent. I'll let my feelings out, and let the inner part of me shine. Even move ahead from past troubles, and leave my old life behind. I'm going to attempt to use my magical powers to fly!" As she said this; Tamamo Mae begins to levitate. Suseri calls out after her, "What are you doing?! Stop it! That's what started all this in the first place...Where are your wings? Maybe you're not as powerful as you think you are!" But she noticed that the objects in the room begin to levitate on their own and gasped. "Oh my!" She breathed. 

Tamamo Mae laughed with joy, "I told you, Suseri... I did it, I tell ya!" Suseri looked at her with concern and said, "I think you're losing your mind, you are deluding yourself into--" but Tamamo Mae whirled around quickly as Suseri jumped back and heard her talk, "I was always scared that I would hurt someone, and that fear controlled me. But now, I wasn’t scared of hurting others when I was so far away from them. I never really had anyone who has loved me, I've always been shunned. Of course my mother loved me but Onibaba, Tamiya and Osode Iemon who both should have loved me, but did not. I think I’d rather believe in the idea rather than repressing myself or shut others out for the sake of love. I feel like the fears never bothered me so much because I'm free right now." She begins to levitate again and nodded before landing on her feet, she opened the window as she was ready to spring out, "Let's go! Get on!" She called. Suseri was surprised to hear this, "What?" She asked. Tamamo Mae looked at her, "Suseri....Come with me, let’s go down the rabbit hole--Just you and me! I can take you on an adventure, the world you don’t know exists is more beautiful than you can imagine! No authority, no masters holding leashes, free to live as we chose and the only real limitations are those you impose upon yourself. And you can leave Tiger Braves behind, we will be unbreakable like elastic, titanium, no even better--Bulletproof!" ranted Tamamo Mae with excitement. Suseri considered this idea, "Yes, it's sounds wonderful." She remarked. Tamamo Mae bounced up and down, "Yeah, it's so exciting!" The two girls begin to dance around happily and stopped as Tamamo Mae whirled to the opened window and looked out but she glanced back at Suseri with a pleading tone, "So....You coming or what?" asked Tamamo Mae. Suseri was nervous as Tamamo Mae knew what she was about to say and bowed her head in sadness. Suseri noticed, "Oh TM, you're trembling... here, put this around you..." She said, taking off her maroon jacket and draped it around Tamamo Mae, she was shocked by this. "Oh Suseri....you know I can't keep this...." She protested. Suseri smiled waterly, "Well then, you'll have to because it's yours." She replied. Tamamo Mae was touched by this, "You know, I heard that you can't choose your marks but you can pick your friends. You're my best friend, you're the only friend I've ever had." said Tamamo Mae. Suseri nodded, "And I've had so many friends... but you were the only one that mattered."

How did these events happened? What was the cause of all this catastrophe and what's going on? Let's go back to the beginning, shall we?

Earlier before.....

Gigi was having a vision in her head: It all became white and she woke up in a floating ship as he comes across a male figure in a steel blue armor and helmet, he was startled to this person but looked around of her whereabouts. "Where am I?" He asked. “You were injured but you'll be fine.” The masked armor guy explains. This confuses Gigi, “I was?” She asked. “Yes. I need to tell you something…All your life you were to defend humanity against inhumanity but now it’s time for you to see and hear this. Have you noticed the change inside you? How you are not like the others out there? Did you ever realized that?” The guy  questioned. The vision ends as Gigi woke up and could hear Cassandra calling her name. A few moments later; Cassandra and her gang--as well as Gigi--were playing a virtual reality game where they can create their own story and play it too. The game was called 'Distribute Video Game', it's the most popular video game that people can create their own and probably submit it their ideas and get it published. It's the most coolest thing ever! In this virtaul reality; Lleu kills Samson and becomes an evil lord. Jack and the others flee to the mountains and vows to avenge Samson's death. But since it's a virtual reality; Samson can come back to life! Proteus and Kamaitachi can be the two perverts but they realized they need a heroine, someone to be the type that 'kicks the perverts to the curb'. But the boys realized that tomorrow was the anime convention after a few hours of playing the game and it was getting so late. They decided to get some sleep. The next morning; Cassandra, Gigi, and the gang are cosplaying at an anime convention. Samson was dressed as Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach, Justice is dressed as Naruto Uzumaki from Naruto, Kamaitachi is dressed as Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece, Echo is dressed as Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail, Christopher is dressed as Rin Okumura from Blue Exorcist, Hanuman is dressed as Gintoki Sakata from Gintama, Zaden is cosplayed as Kirito from Sword Art Online, Borvo is costumed as Touma from A Certain Magical Index, Jack is dressed as Eren Jaeger from Attack on Titan, Juniper dressed as Nai from Karneval, and Loptr cosplaying Shiro Isana from K. Cassandra is costumed as Alice Liddell from American McGee's Alice and Gigi is cosplaying as Maka Albarn from Soul Eater. Justice was excited, "Well, things are going to be pretty cool." He said with joy. 

Indeed, there was a storm! The winds were blowing, they were blowing until anyone's cheeks crack! Oh, how it rage on with tornadoes spew water until all the buildings of churches and anemometers were all drowned. "What the hell is going on? What is with this weather?" Lleu demanded. The convention was feeling like it was floating up by the power of the storm! The people scream, stuff was flying everywhere. "HANG ON!!!" Cassandra cried out. She and Gigi held hands while Justice was clinging onto a table but Jack came to the rescue. The others tried reaching for one another but then, the tempest was so strong that there was a blinding light. The storm was over, but the damage had been done! Cassandra and her friends woke up as they were covered in scars, blisters, and bleeding wounds but other than that, they were alive! Alive and well but injured. "We're alive! We're alive!" Jack panted. "Oh man! I thought we were all going to die!" Samson gasped, coughing and wheezing. Borvo cling tight to Cassandra, "I'm scared." He claimed. Cassandra held his hand, she leaned down and whisper in the scared boy's ear: "Me too, Borvo." They continued to walk and didn't stop until they found they find out where they are because it's not the convention. In the meantime; 16 year old Bryce Stuart woke up to see much debris and how the town looked destroyed. Everything around him was in pieces. Trees everywhere. No power, no heat, or anything else in the buildings that stood in one piece however they try to get the power to flick on but nothing happened! Bryce got up but noticed he was a mess. His clothes were wear and tear, his upper-body becomes more and more scarred, as a result of his experience from the storm. He looked around and saw how much was destroyed. The losses of other people and how some were lucky. "The town....the storm must've...Oh crap...." Bryce muttered to himself. He sighed but grimaced, "Ah! It hurts...." He cursed. There was a stick lodged in his side so Bryce gently pulled it out, but he cussed and eventually got it out. Bryce bleed but gripped a hand over the wound to not let it bleed so much. "HELLO!!!!! SOMEBODY!!!!" He shouted. On the other side; Cassandra heard a boy crying for help and she turned to her friends, "Someone's in trouble! C'mon!" And off they went! Bryce kept walking and never stopped. But the bleeding was making his faint. 

He didn't want to stop walking, never will he stop until he finds his friends. Bryce was feeling so dizzy from the blood loss and he didn't want to give up as he fell forward. Believing that he would die alone of blood loss; but by a saving grace, Bryce was rescued by Cassandra and the gang who were peering down at him. "Oh man, he's bleeding!" Cassandra said softly, examining the wound. He turned to her friends, "Hey, guys, you got anything to help clean up the wound?" She asked. Samson rummaged through his pocket and pulled it out, "Here, I got some oinment." He said. Cassandra waved for her to bring it, "Bring it here!" She said. Samson walked over and brought it to her, "Thanks." Cassandra said, taking it and opened it as she said to Bryce, "Here, I know this is going to hurt but it's supposed to help you." She lathered it up. Bryce didn't cry out in pain, he was calm and cool about it. He focused on Cassandra's face, "An angel?" asked Bryce. Cassandra looked at him, "It's gonna be OK." He said honestly. Everyone was dehydrated and they went to search for water. For the time being; Aynia Grein, a girl around 14 to 15 years old, realized her friends was nowhere. "Bryce!!!!! Mavis!!!!" She called but no one replied. Aynia thought she would give up, thinking they must be dead by now but she knew that they weren't. Somehow she could sense them and walked. Seeing a girl walking but also injured; Eulalie went to help Aynia after she saw that she fainted. Aynia was half awake as she looked to see Eulalie and said in a soft tone, "My angel..." Eulalie looked at her and smiled. "Don't worry, you're going to be OK. I promise you." She assured her. Aynia wrapped her arms around Eulalie's neck and cried tears of joy. Eulalie felt a bit awkward by this girl crying in her arms but could see a smile on her face. She must be relieved, happy that she was alive and having someone to care for. Besides, nobody wants to be alone. Meanwhile; 15 year old Mavis Larson was searching for her friends and wasn't going to stop until she found her. She was searching around the broken down building city as this became quite a dark, but it wasn't night however the atmosphere seemed that way. There wasn't any power, there wasn't much around here and there was no one to turn to. It felt like a post apocalypse, like something bad happened but this was no apocalypse; this was the aftermath of a hurricane. 

This place was the most morbid and depressing time in her life. But she had to find food, water, air, and a shelter to maybe to recover her wounds. She went to a hospital but they were full! She couldn't let herself get distracted, she has to keep her head on straight and wasn't going to change her course until she heard someone calling out to her. "Are you OK? You look badly wrecked." Deirdre called. Mavis glared at her in disbelief, "The storm hit us, what do you think?" She snapped. Deirdre was taken aback by this girl's comment but she knew she must be tired and exhausted. "What's your name? We want to help you." Deirdre asked. Mavis softened a bit, "Mavis." She replied. "I'm Deirdre." Deirdre called out. Mavis tried walking but almost fell. She caught herself as she was escorted by these girls. Mavis kept huffing and puffing as she thanked these strange but kind girls. For the time being while searching for some water; Cassandra found a bottle of sparkling water as it looks like and picked it up. She uncapped the bottle and took a sip, but winced as he swallowed. But her head was feeling weird. They all begin to experience strange things and begin to go into a place of unrealism. Later; Turan is working while the news was on, however there was a report with five guys who are being charged for assaulting a girl but the guys claim that the girl is making things up. Turan saw the girl was emotional however the guys are saying she was a 'tramp' and that she was nothing more as a way to punish them and no one will believe her. Turan was in disbelief, she sat there for a moment before angrily hurling the television out the window! Outside, Norna returned with supplies and food when she witnessed the TV fly out the window! "I don't know, whatever it is...This cannot be good." Norna said. She went inside carefully as Norna  called out brightly, pretending nothing occured. "Hey, I'm back! And I brought food!" Norna said in a singsong tone. "HOW DARE THOSE SONS OF A BITCHES SAY THAT SHE DESERVES IT, LIKE HELL SHE DOES WHEN SHE'S THE VICTIM!!!" exclaimed Turan, ignoring her bestie. "Well, good to hear." Norna said nicely. Turan turns to glare at her, "Don't even start, Norna!" Then, she turned back to the broken window while saying: "He's nothing but a shitty bunch of pervers who don't know anything of a girl and the trauma she's been through! A loathsome bunch of sexists! I'll splatter their brains over the wall! And make it RAIN!!!!" 

Norna listens to her as she looked anxiously. Turan had to explain what happened on TV before collapsing on the bed, Norna watch her despite her wearing boyshorts and a skimpy mini top, looking all depressed and fuming. "OK I think somebody needs to calm down by taking a few deep breaths and maybe a walk--" Norna suggested, but Turan cuts her off: "NO!!!" She sat up immediately. "No way, no how! Not happening! I wanna rip their tongues out, I want to burn their asses to the ground! I want to break their fingers until they bleed to death!" Turan exclaimed, then moans. "I want drama, carnage, and chocolate cake!" "Geez, Turan. You really are a piece of work...What do you want to do?" Norna asked. That night; the girls learn the names of the girls' attackers so Turan hatches a plan with her best friend. Turan seduces one of the attackers and kills him by electrocuition in the bathtub, then she and Norna drained his blood from his body, pouring it all into a bucket, and becomes a replacement dancer at the Red Heifer, a neon club with exotic dancers. Norna slipped the blood bucket while a white cladded Turan performs as a dancer to a cheering crowd of men--even the girls' attackers. But that turns into a horror when Turan whirls around faster and faster until she stopped. Looking up as Norna dumped the blood on her; Turan could feel the blood on her, bathing upon her. Slowly, she begins to snickered. Her sniggering turn into maniacal laughter! She laughed like a madwoman until she turned to the crowd, who were shocked and confused. "Why so serious? You never seen a girl covered in blood before? Well, this is your first,  my white beauty is now splattered with blood red defilement." She said to the shocked the lead attacker and his friends. Then, everyone watched as the blood absorbed into her skin and she lets out a spasm cry! She smiled wickedly, "Now my revenge begins...And you all should die!"  She said. Chaos erupts as Turan slaughtered to her attackers while the club is being demolished and destroyed as Norna is shocked by the disaster her best friend caused! Later, after slaughtering the attackers; Turan stumbles back while covered in blood as she was moaning. In the meantime; A young man by the name of Nainn Rouge who is a mysterious guy around 15 to 16 years old and is walking out at night when he saw something walking like a zombie towards him. His eyes are watching Turan as she was staggering, and he begins imagining that she is standing alone as she wore a red lingerie with a blood stained body from head to toe. She holds up the heart of a pig for him to see and eats it whole. 

Then, she starts to unzip her clothes, revealing bare skin underneath and a cloud of blood flows out from beneath the cloth. "A Goddess of Blood.....?" thought Nainn. Then, he begins to smile as he was excited to see her. In reality, Turan was exhausted but she almost fell over and Norna helps her to get back to their place. Meanwhile; A drop of blood slow falls from the air above Nainn's bed. More and more begin to fall, covering Nainn's face and pillow as he stares up at the ceiling. There was a carpet of blood and the naked Turan, who is covered only by a few strategically-placed blood drops that are slowly falling away as she is reaching her hand over at him. Nainn wakes up and he sighed but he heard water in the bathroom and went to see who's in there. Inside the bathroom, Nainn witnesses  Turan reclining in a large bathtub. She says: "I've been waiting for you." When he walks closer he sees that the bathtub is filled with blood. "You look good, I can see how much you kill." said Turan. Then, she looked at the bathwater.  "Is the water to you warm blooded or cold blooded?" Nainn dipped his hands into the water and looked at the blood before drinking it from his hand as Agrona leans her head back as she could feel the blood in her and lets out a climax spasm. Then Nainn woke up as he saw a woman smiling at him. "Some dream." remarked a woman. Nainn looked at the woman, "What do you mean?" He asked. The woman chuckled quietly, "You were licking your lips in your sleep." She said. Nainn rolled his eyes, "Fine, I was dreaming about a run on a blood mill goddess." "A goddess, huh." The woman said. Nainn was annoyed, "Scatha, do you have anything better to do than watch me sleep?" He asked, turning on his side while all blank stare. Scatha smiled, "You're right. I'll be back, I have something for you." She said, "Wait here." "Take your time." Nainn said. But as soon as she was gone, Nainn smiled with such smugness at the thought of his dream. Sitting in her room with a nervous look on her face; Petite, rosy cheeked, fully voluptuous lips and fair skinned Cordelia Oskmey was waiting as she fiddled with a strand of her light blonde hair. She looked over to see the doctor in her bedroom doorway with a sad look on his face. He seemed apologetic as Cordelia rushed out of the room to see her mother's death body which her face seemed to be peace. 

Cordelia and her sister, Argine, grieved over their mother Hollis while their father Liron had a sadistic smile on his face. After the funeral; Liron was angry and intoxicated as he attempted to murder Cordelia and Argine. Cordelia had to save her sister so she got hold of her father's gun and aimed it at Liron, who laughed at her. But Cordelia was determined as her finger pulled the trigger. But she missed and accidentally killed her little sister. Shocked; Cordelia cried uncontrollably over the accident! She cried herself to sleep as the next day, she was submitted to a mental hospital. Within the mental hospital; it was a burlesque as well as a cathouse! Dancers, who were troubled female patients, that were forced to participate while performing in front of perverted men who mistreated them and victimized them just because they were 'tarts'. The one running the cathouse is Gwayne. Gwayne is a thug as well as the main orderly. During her time there, Cordelia was to scrub the floors and do the usual work around the hospital. She came across a girl and her sister, the oldest one didn't talk too much to Cordelia while the youngest felt sorry for her. One day, while she was done with the cleaning; Cordelia could hear someone calling for help and hurried over to see an obese man that is the cook who was pinning down one of the dancing girls that begged and pleaded. Cordelia was furious to see this as she got a kitchen knife and held it at the fat cook's throat, "Get off her!" She threatened. The cook did as the girl and Cordelia left!  "Thanks!" The girl said with a relief sigh. Cordelia nodded, "No problem, you OK?" She asked. The girl nodded smiling, "I am. Oh, uh, I'm Masha Eldon. Sorry if I didn't introduced myself before." She said with a hand out. Cordelia took it, shaking it. "I'm Cordelia Oskmey." She said. "Hey, sorry about my sister, Andraste, you know how she is around people. Kind of antisocial." explained Masha. "It's fine, really it doesn't bother me." assured Cordelia. Masha beamed with pride, "Cool, so how did you come in here anyway?" She asked. Cordelia felt uncomfortable as she stuttered out nervously, "Oh...well..." Luckily, Masha understood so she replies back, "Ah, I see. It's complicated isn't it?" Cordelia looked at her with amazement, "Yeah..." She said. Masha giggled, "Yeah, mine's complicated too. No worries." She said. And so, Cordelia became close friend with Masha. Masha heard Cordelia crying one time at night and came beside her to comfort her. 

But sometimes, when Cordelia went to sleep; she dreamt she was wearing a sailor fuku outfit and climbing while moving around blocks of stares to get to the top but she's chased by orcs, zombies, and dragons! In the morning; Cordelia did her usual cleaning up the hospital and helped backstage of the brothel. When the show ended; Cordelia walked over to see Masha, who was talking to two other girls. Masha noticed Cordelia and waved to her, "Hey Cordelia! Come here girl!" She called. Cordelia smiled gratefully while sitting next to Masha, who introduces her to the two girls she was talking to. "Cordelia, I like you to meet Flidais Raban--" Masha said, pointing over to a cute, bubbly, slender and busty girl. "--Belisama Hamazan--" Masha continued and she pointed to another girl who was a tough girl, who gave her a chin jerk as a greeting. "--And this is my sister, Andraste." finished Masha. As a matter of course; Andraste avoided speaking to Cordelia but reveals to her and the other girls that Gwayne had something planned for Cordelia only because she was 'fresh meat'. Cordelia knew that wasn't going to happen but little did she know, it was going to occur! As it turns out; Cordelia learns she was going to be part of a bidding during the burlesque. She was going to be bidded to see if she was going to be ranked. She was almost attacked and victimized by other perverted men. Cordelia was to be part of photoshoots whil concealing part of her bare self. Things changed when there was outbreak of intruders as Turan and Norna broke in as they took down Gwayne's men as they free Cordelia and her friends from the hands of the cathouse. Gwayne begins to get mad and beats up Turan. She falls back into a mirror and broken shards surround her but then she saw something out of the corner of her eye, it was Nainn Rouge and he smirked down at Turan while behind Gwayne. "Are you going to let that bastard push you around? Someone's gotta teach him a lesson." Nainn said, a sneaky glance twinkled in his eye. "What are you doing?" whispered Turan. Nainn inched closer as he smirked and said, "Teaching this hag a lesson, I'll show him what happens when you deal with those that don't deserve to be ridiculed." "No, please" Turan begged. "C'mon, it'll be fun this way." Nainn said. He pulled his leg out and kicked him while Turan shouted at him, "No, no, DON'T DO IT!!!!!" 

Too late, Gwayne tripped and fell over! Everyone gasped in horror, "OH NO, WHY DID YOU--!!!"  Turan started to say but she looked to see the guy was gone. However, what comes next is a fearsome creature that is enraged with humiliation and anger: "Someone's HEAD is going to ROLL FOR THIS!!!!" Gwayne exclaimed. Slowly rising like a zombie that looked like it was about to pounce its prey.  He saw Turan and cried out: "YOURSSSSS!!!!!" She screamed. The guards surrounded Turan and Norna, who tried to escape but couldn't. Just as she was about to give up hope, Turan could see Nainn there again! "THERE HE IS, GWAYNE!" exclaimed Turan. Gwayne was perplexed, "Who?" He asked.  "The Culprit! He's above you!" shouted Turan. Gwayne turned around and gasped, "YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?!" He shouted. Turan watched as Nainn Rouge took down the guards while freeing Turan and Norna of their crime she never committed. Turan gasped as she felt Nainn beside her and said, "What are you waiting for? You gotta be brave, you can't expect people to come and say things for you, right?" Turan gasped, he sound like he didn't mean it but he did! And she knew what to do! "You dare defy me? I will have your head boy!!!!!" Gwayne shouted. Turan stepped in, her arms spread out, "Oh no, you will not!" She unleashed her powers to protect Nainn, Gwayne cowered in fear. Turan glared at the whimpering Gwayne, "Now you listen here, you are one of the beautiful people right? You maybe the good-looking people popular, person whereas you treat others as if they are the ugly ones are outcasts. And I don't want to be rude and go against you but at the same time, I don't want to rely on you, but you are nothing more than a man eating egoist who preys on others, punish those for the smallest things like eating tarts, and worse; you think this all fun and games to torment others, isn't it? Well it's not! YOU are nothing but a shithead constantly crying, especially since you don't contribute anything in return to your people!" Turan said to him. The crowd gasped, Norna was amazed, but Nainn smirked as if he was enjoying a good show, Turan was shaken but she had to grin too. Gwayne looked so humiliated that his face turned red and he said, "You....I WANT HER HEAD!!!! I WANT HER HEAD!!!!" Turan, Norna, Cordelia, her friends, and Nainn escaped as they are brought to a place called Mandrake where researching partners, Evelyn Bellest and Scatha Griswald are. These new people will changed Turan's life for good. But there was also an assignment to find a little girl by the name of Lalita. In time; Cassandra, Eulalie, Deirdre, Turan, and Norna learned that they are in a world called Cockayne.

Meanwhile; Tamamo Mae was sweating bombs while finishing her training as she went to get water from the soda machine but has no coins to buy any. "No change?" A voice called out. Tamamo Mae turned around and saw a young man standing there with a bandage around his right arm and around his torso. Tamamo Mae approached him, "Hi, um you OK?" She asked. "I guess, you can say that." The young man said. His hand went into his pocket, "Here." He said, handing it to her of many coins. Tamamo Mae blushed, "No. I couldn't--" She started to say, but the young man insisted, "Please, take it." Tamamo Mae had no choice and accepted it greatly from him. "I'm Sigmund Magus, by the way." said the kind young man. "TM." Tamamo Mae said. "TM?" Sigmund asked, confused. "Short for Tamamo Mae." explained Tamamo Mae. "You're as pretty as swan." Sigmund remarked. He leaves as Tamamo Mae watched him go. Things got very complicated as Tamamo Mae learns that she is being offered a job with Onibaba, who claims to be overjoyed. Tamamo Mae is repulsed and shock, her mother is stunt and believes Onibaba is manipulating Tamamo Mae and will put the blame on TM's mother. Tamamo Mae refuse this offer of Onibaba but it gets worse when she becomes nasty to her. Tamamo Mae was mad and she went off to get away from the awful messages she sent! That night, Tamamo Mae comes across a house and saw that it belong to Sigmund, whom she knocks on the door. "Can I come in?" asked Tamamo Mae. "I'm not sure." Sigmund replied sadly. Tamamo Mae sighed, "Okay. I'm an idiot." She admitted. "How are you an idiot?" Sigmund asked. Tamamo Mae begins to cry, "My mom--She has problems and she suffers so much!" She turns away so Sigmund doesn't see her cry so much! Sigmund looked at her, "Are you OK?" He asked. "It's hard for me, you know. Sorry, I'm being too personal but I have no one....Well, I'm being exaggerating. I have friends but no one close!" Tamamo Mae explained in between sobs. Sigmund looked at her thoughtfully before he had an idea. "What if you stay the night? The whole night?" asked Sigmund. Tamamo Mae looked at him, "Really? Oh, I don't...want to be a bother."  She said stammering. "It isn't." Sigmund said. He leads her in as Tamamo Mae saw that his house had a window of a nice view of the beach. "Oh, Sigmund....It's beautiful!" breathed Tamamo Mae. "I know, I knew you would like staying here for the night." Sigmund said. Music was playing some sort of high lonesome whistling and cold vocals set to harpsichord and strings, the singer's voice is vocals piped into a modulates and distorts them of an electric sound. Tamamo Mae begin to sway a little, "Nice music, what is it?" She asked. "Caramel Dash." Sigmund answered. Tamamo Mae nodded, "Nice, I never heard of this band." She remarked. "It looks like you have an interest in music." Sigmund said. "I do, I like music this way." Tamamo Mae admitted.

It was quiet between them so Tamamo Mae sighs. "What is it?" Sigmund asked. "I just wish..." Tamamo Mae started to say, but shakes her head. "What?" Sigmund asked, wanting to kow. Tamamo Mae blushed, "I wish I could be beautiful... for you." She admitted. "TM...." Sigmund was taking aback by this, Tamamo Mae looked shaemful. "Don't tell me that I am, you don't need to lie to me...."She claimed. Sigmund placed his hands on her shoulders, "No, I'm not lying... it's looking at things another way." He explained. Tamamo Mae smiled, "We're going to be together, always." She said. Then, the two of them snuggled next to each other as Tamamo Mae flushed at how close she was to him. She sighed with content, "What is it now?" asked Sigmund. Tamamo Mae shifted a little, "It's just...For the very first time in forever, I've missed out on a lot on how it feels to be..." She said, then she smiles and said softly while her eyes close, "....pleasant." In the morning; The sound of birds woke her up, Tamamo Mae's eyes fluttered open and she looked to see a beautiful scenery. There was relaxing acoustic guitar music playing that blended with the sunrays shining down on the blue waters of the beach. "Oh, wow. How amazing." Tamamo Mae whispered. "Good morning." Sigmund said. Tamamo Mae gasped and saw him standing there. She straightened up and said, "Oh, good morning!" She stuttered. "Heh, you like it?" Sigmund asked, looking at the scenario with her. Tamamo Mae grinned at him, "Yes, it's amazing. I wish I could live somewhere down here." She said. Out of curiousity, Tamamo Mae asked: "What time is it?" "Around eight." answered Sigmund. Tamamo Mae's eyes widened with horror, "WHAT?! Oh crap, I have to go!" She collected her things. Sigmund offered to take her back but Tamamo Mae refused, saying: "It's complicated!" Sigmund told her that he wants to see her again soon and Tamamo Mae accepts. When she came to see him, Tamamo Mae finds out that Sigmund went missing and the only thing was his blood that she found at his house on the floor. Tamamo Mae was devastated by all this and falls into a depression. "For a while, I believed that I was free from the fear of hurting those I've loved and being perceived as a monster. Therefore, I became a happier and more carefree individual. However, after being told that I created a disaster, I realized that I'm still not free from my fear; I'm still not free from what I believe is my curse. Therefore, I undermine myself for being easily mislead in to believing a naive concept that one can make fear disappear forever." Tamamo Mae thought, pacing around the room. She held her head as she continues to talk to herself, "I cannot escape from this storm I created, I'll always be afraid of injuring my loved ones, and I won't be able to control myself! No one is safe with me, nothing to protect anyone. Sigmund is my wings, without him in my life I have nothing to keep me up in the sky and now I'm beginning to fall back down to the ground." She said to herself sadly. 
Then, tranquil fury bottled inside as it begins to grow while she thought to herself: "I have pure beauty in one hand and sure death in the other. I can’t be matched by any human and no one can stop the rage I plunge the world into during one of my uncontrollable outbursts. I will make the world black, the sun will shine no more!" Tamamo Mae trembled as tears welled in her eyes while thinking about her beloved people. 

"Mother. Oinari. Konohana. Sigmund...." Anguished by the thought of her beloved friend; Tamamo Mae breaks down as her powers levitated in the air while shouting out, "SIGMUND!!!!" Then, everything fell down. Tamamo Mae huffed angrily, "Being shot down, makes me wonder what in my right mind made me think this way.....It's ruined, everything is ruined and I blame it all on me. I should just hide away but wait! I never intended for this to happen, I just wanted to do something nice. Despite failing, I did my best and tasted something very nice. And for a moment, I felt indestructible!" As she says this, Tamamo Mae turned to see her dark cloak on the floor and went over to pick it up while tying it around her neck and glares at herself in the mirror. Then, she spun around and extends her hand out as everything fell apart. The doors burst open as Tamamo Mae says to herself, "Here I am; peering at the sun, with hatred, I want it to go away. I laugh but there’s nothing funny. My heart is so polluted, that I'm going to see everything tainted and my love will be avenged. Everything to be black, for everyone, and by blotting out the sun, it is all over for every living thing!" But while on a rampagne against the Wendigos and the other monsters; someone could see her sadness and rage. A young lady name Suseri Yakami, from the squad of Tiger Braves partnered with Sarutobi and Kirigakure! She and the others: Maristino Ryutoki, Jiraiya Ogata, Takiyasha Masakado, and Yatagarasu Tentoki. However, one of the Wendigos hit her from behind and TM was injured. Tamamo Mae had to get away when Tamamo Mae could hear Suseri. "Wait! Where are you going?" called Suseri, running after her. Tamamo Mae continued to run away and immediately came to Tamamo Mae's aid and helps her breathe: "Inhale. On a count of five...follow me, do it with me. Inhale. Stay with me, stay with me. I'm gonna teach you how to breathe." She kept telling her. Tamamo Mae nodded as she looked at the kind hearted young lady and these other people. Tamamo Mae managed to breathe as Suseri was being helpful, "Yes, yes, that's good. That's good. That's very good." She said. "Do you care about me?" Tamamo Mae said in a timid voice. 

Suseri looked at her and smiled back, "Yes, I do." She answered. Tamamo Mae looked like a mess, crying: "Then help me. Please." She rasped. "It's what I'm doing." Suseri assured her. "Don't be afraid..." Suseri said. Tamamo Mae looked back with fierce intensity in her voice, "I'm not... it's Onibaba who should be afraid of me!" Suseri realized who she is and the two girls became friends. However during this time, Tamamo Mae was getting back her life in Great Watch but she is ambushed by the bully name Sumiyoshi who always beat her up and nobody knew. Tamamo Mae staggered up to her feet as she cried and cried until she couldn't stop. "Why does he hate me so much?" She thought. Just then, way off in the distance; someone was crying out to her: "TM!" It was Sigmund, alive and all right, "Sigmund, what are you doing here?" Soren asked. Just before Sigmund is about to say but he's killed on the spot! "Sigmund! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Tamamo Mae exclaimed in horror. She passed out after seeing so much blood and then she woke up to find that her lips were sewn shut, scars on her chest and wounds all over her body. Tamamo Mae looked around and saw she was strapped on a cold autopsy table. She felt so vulnerable, she tried to talk but her stitched mouth was so tight that the only thing that came out was two-thirds of  muffled moaning in protest. "Dear girl, do not fret...You will get your revenge soon enough." said a voice. Something was happening to her....like an intensity of burning rage inside of her. She managed to get information on Sumiyoshi and she learns that he was sent by Onibaba as TM will get her revenge against her tormentor and she decided to use her new power. Sumiyoshi tried to punch back but the raging figure was faster and deflect his attacks. "WHO ARE YOU?" demanded Sumiyoshi The figure leans over and whispered, "I am the vixen you will meet before you die and every enemy's worse nightmare....You bastard." Sumiyoshi was terrified, "Tamamo Mae?" He gasped. "No longer the innocent self." said Tamamo Mae as she exposed herself in the light, "There's only one vixen and she's invincible!" And she killed Sumiyoshi in his rage. Later, Tamamo Mae entered a place and went up the stairs however she came across a room with a window with sunrays glowing down her. "I knew I find you here." A voice said. Tamamo Mae turned around, "Suseri!" She gasped. Suseri looked at her with a dark look, "I can explain!" Tamamo Mae protested. "Don't even, I already know what happened!" Suseri said. Tamamo Mae looked surprised at her friend. Suseri rubbed the temples of her forehead and she let out a deep sighed before glaring at Tamamo Mae. 

"TM, Pull yourself together! Don't mess this up! Are you happy now? Tell me, are you happy now? Do you have any idea what you have done to yourself?" countered Suseri. Tamamo Mae turned back to her angrily, "Oh I am, happy! I can't pull myself together because you mess me up so much!!!!! You're making a fool of yourself, you irritating, self-centered girl!" She argued. "You talk even more waste, I do not know exactly why. However, I hope you're glad." wrangled Suseri. "Talking to you any longer is useless now." quarreled Tamamo Mae. They both turned away however Suseri turned around and spoke to her more nicely as she said, "TM? Listen to me carefully. You can meet them again, as if would have been nothing. What have you longed for, you can have." Tamamo Mae nodded, "I know. But I can’t go back....No. I won’t go back--Never again." She said. Tamamo Mae clutched her hands into fists as she said, "Something's wrong, I don’t feel the same about something morally. Here I'm through with Onibaba’s ways. She wants her help in strengthening her control over her so called sanctuary and I won’t do it. It's time to release your fears, I won't think about what other people might say, I don’t want to be ashamed of my talent. I'll let my feelings out, and let the inner part of me shine. Even move ahead from past troubles, and leave my old life behind. I'm going to attempt to use my magical powers to fly!" As she said this; Tamamo Mae begins to levitate. Suseri calls out after her, "What are you doing?! Stop it! That's what started all this in the first place...Where are your wings? Maybe you're not as powerful as you think you are!" But she noticed that the objects in the room begin to levitate on their own and gasped. "Oh my!" She breathed. Tamamo Mae laughed with joy, "I told you, Suseri... I did it, I tell ya!" Suseri looked at her with concern and said, "I think you're losing your mind, you are deluding yourself into--" but Tamamo Mae whirled around quickly as Suseri jumped back and heard her talk, "I was always scared that I would hurt someone, and that fear controlled me. But now, I wasn’t scared of hurting others when I was so far away from them. I never really had anyone who has loved me, I've always been shunned. Of course my mother loved me but Onibaba, Tamiya and Osode Iemon who both should have loved me, but did not. I think I’d rather believe in the idea rather than repressing myself or shut others out for the sake of love. I feel like the fears never bothered me so much because I'm free right now." She begins to levitate again and nodded before landing on her feet, she opened the window as she was ready to spring out, "Let's go! Get on!" She called. Suseri was surprised to hear this, "What?" She asked. Tamamo Mae looked at her, "Suseri....Come with me, Imagine what we could accomplish anything ... Together. Let’s go down the rabbit hole--Just you and me! I can take you on an adventure, the world you don’t know exists is more beautiful than you can imagine! No authority, no masters holding leashes, free to live as we chose and the only real limitations are those you impose upon yourself. And you can leave Tiger Braves behind, we will be unbreakable like elastic, titanium, no even better--Bulletproof!" ranted Tamamo Mae with excitement. 

Suseri considered this idea, "Yes, it's sounds wonderful." She remarked. Tamamo Mae bounced up and down, "Yeah, it's so exciting!" The two girls begin to dance around happily and stopped as Tamamo Mae whirled to the opened window and looked out but she glanced back at Suseri with a pleading tone, "So....You coming or what?" asked Tamamo Mae. Suseri was nervous as Tamamo Mae knew what she was about to say and bowed her head in sadness. Suseri noticed, "Oh TM, you're trembling... here, put this around you..." She said, taking off her maroon jacket and draped it around Tamamo Mae, she was shocked by this. "Oh Suseri....you know I can't keep this...." She protested. Suseri smiled waterly, "Well then, you'll have to because it's yours." She replied. Then she bowed her head and said, "Don’t have any regrets, all right?" Tamamo Mae nod, "I won't. This is right, isn’t it? Even though we don’t know the things that lie ahead never have regrets because this is the path you've chosen." She said. Suseri smiled at her, "I hope you'll never grieve And have no regrets later on. I wish you all the luck in the world and a friendship holds." She said. Tamamo Mae was touched by this, "You know, I heard that you can't choose your marks but you can pick your friends. You're my best friend, you're the only friend I've ever had." said Tamamo Mae. Suseri nodded, "And I've had so many friends... but you were the only one that mattered." The two girls embraced each other but Suseri gasped and says, "Oh no! I hear footsteps, hurry you need to get away!" Realizing this; Tamamo Mae said: "Oh, right!" She ran to the window and leaped out before flying away! Suseri smiled and watched her go as the others emerged from the hiding spot. "You got that?" She asked. Sarutobi nodded, "Every word." He said, holding the recorder. "Motivation--It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?" remarked Yatagaratsu. As Tamamo Mae flew, he came across Onibaba and the Iemons who were with the monsters and Tamamo Mae lets out a cry as she shouted: "You want me? Here I am! It's me you want, TAKE ME!!!" She then stood up in the air as she called out to whoever it listening, "Here me! Want to know where I am at? I'm staying at my castle, alone and free, uncontrolled by anyone but me. I finally gotten over her fears and is starting over new, and staying where she is, never going back to the past. Even if Suseri decides to stay behind and if I'm now on my own; in return for my choice, I get the freedom I valued. To those who can’t accept me, tell them what I choose and what I've achieved. I'm flying, tell them I did what they thought was impossible for me. By letting go of my fear, I believe that I can start a new life, free from worry and filled with happiness — like the bright and beautiful dawn starting a new day, which is what she compares letting go of fear to!" She called out. 


Then, turns menacingly as she said, "You can take everything from me or say what you want about me, treat me like I’m weak and fragile, like glass that can be broken or paper that is easily torn. I will rise above the pain and fear! I will stand tall and powerful like a skyscraper. Try and make me weak and break my spirit, wiping off the bad and growing from it!" Filled with emotions; Suseri shouted out, "I hope you're satisfied now!" Onibaba turned to the guards and instructed them with orders, "Just look at the witch, what are you waiting for? Catch her, kill her!" Tamamo Mae begins to laugh with excitement, "You can't stop me now! You can't get in my way!" She shouted. Onibaba screamed, "Catch the witch, let’s kill her!" But nobody could as Tamamo Mae laughed at Onibaba, who raged like mad!
