Every time little girls come home from school, they always turn on the TV to their favorite TV show, Skinny Minnie’s Dollhouse. The opening theme song went like this: “Here comes Skinny Minnie! The sweet as sugar doll around. Oh Skinny Minnie, you’re guarantee to run this town with rainbows and sunshine! Hey girls, Skinny Minnie requests the pleasure of your company so come on. La femme Minnie! Good heavens, Skinny Minnie you’re beautiful and cute as can be! I want to see you smile, because you make my day, Skinny Minnie!” Then, a little adorable doll name Pippa the Pipsqueak. Pippa was in a blue dress with ruffled shoulder straps, decorative red buttons, and a knee length skirt with polka dots. She had on white and red striped tights and Mary Jane shoes. “Guess what time it is girls! It’s time for Minnie!” She announced. She pulled the curtains back as Skinny Minnie appeared. One side of her hair was pink and the other side was black. She wore a pouffy sparkly dress with lace trim and white stockings. Her makeup was painted cheeks to look like she was blushing with those rosy jowls, she has doll-looking small pink lips. “Hey there, girls! It’s me Skinny Minnie! Are you ready for a Minnie good time? Follow me!” She would skip on over to a girl in a whitish pink leotard and matching sheer tulle skirt. On her feet were pink tights and matching ballet slippers with sewn in elastics and straps that are bound to the lower legs of drawstrings. Skinny Minnie introduced the ballet girl, “I like you all to meet my best friend—this here is Cindy Ballerina!” Cindy Ballerina would smile as she stated, “That I am. But I’m not just any ballerina, I’m a prima ballerina.” Skinny Minnie laughs, “Ah—ha—ha! You sure are Cindy!” She confirmed. There was a knock at the door, Skinny Minnie and Cindy Ballerina were surprised. “Now who could that be?” Skinny Minnie said. She and Cindy turned to see Pippa entering with another girl, who wore a sequin purple gown that reached her knees. She has an apron that was attached to the dress, there was a crazy amount of glitter all over, a ruffled collar with glitter there as well, and sequin puffed up sleeves. Her socks were sparking as well as her shoes and bonnet. “Hey there, little ones!” The girls greeted. “Look baby tykes, it’s Pippa the Pipsqueak and Sparky!” Skinny Minnie exclaimed with saccharine joy. Sparky greeted the audience and Skinny Minnie: “Hello ladies! Skinny Minnie! Cindy Ballerina! What you all doing?” She asked. “Just hanging out, are you ready for an adventure?” Skinny Minnie asked. “Yes I am!” Sparky confirmed. “Yay!” Pippa cheered. Just then, a voice called out: “Woo hoo!” Skinny Minnie and the girls turned to see someone was coming! “Hey everybody, it sounds like someone’s coming!” Skinny Minnie announced. Sure enough, there was a doll character in a bright colored outfit of a hot pink bodice, a neon purple and bright pink layered skirt, she wore slippers with baby blue satin trim on them and a gem was on each slipper. She has pigtails in barrettes to bind them up high. “Guess who’s here? It’s Mad Girl Marie!” Skinny Minnie said happily. Mad Girl Marie skipped over to Skinny Minnie and the gang, “That I am girls. Just call me Marie.” She declared. The show would be like this; Skinny Minnie and the gang would sing and dance, laugh, go on adventures and solve problems. But the show ends with the infamous ending scene where Skinny Minnie turned to the gang as she said to them, “We had fun today didn’t we girls?” Her friends would say, “We sure did Minnie.” And then, Skinny Minnie turned to the audience as she said: “Don’t worry, and don’t you cry, another adventure will await for you tomorrow. Take care, little girls and remember—we love you!” One day, there was 14 kids were to guest star on Skinny Minnie’s Dollhouse for a very special episode! There was a young teenager with them chaperoning however he didn’t look too thrilled with a bunch of kids to a saccharine themed show but he sucked it up anyway. From the sidelines, the teenager saw the kids were having a great time! They were doing happy things with Skinny Minnie and the cast members where they did adventures, sing, dance, etc. The boy watched them as they were content, a lady approached beside the teenager. She was good looking, wore no makeup, long dark hair, she wore a T-shirt, jeans and white sneakers. The woman looked at the boy with sympathy, “This isn’t your thing?” She asked. The boy shook his head, “Nah, too babyish for me.” He replied. The lady nodded, “I understand. But you seem very supportive for these kids, right?” She inquired. “Yeah, I am.” The boy said with a shrug. “Me too, my support goes to my daughters on this show.” The lady said. The boy stared at the woman in surprise, “You’re the mother of these girls?” He asked. “Yes, and their manager.” Clarified the woman, “My name is Zippora Fury. Skinny Minnie is Mina Fury, Cindy Ballerina is Mandy Fury, Mad Girl Marie is Ophelia Fury, Sparky is Mildred Fury, and Pippa is Nana Fury.” The boy also introduced himself, “I’m Niilo Butcher.” He turned and pointed over to the fourteen kids as he told Zippora their names: Emmett Ounslow, Helena Bedford, Shouta Samaru, Taron Dainan, Dwight Chamberlain, Itara Nagel, Senan Liang, Lucy Morara, Maidoc Kuno, Soren Ryuchi, Ainara Zhao, Rinon Shiko, Kaijin Ishikai, and Chiara Airen. After the episode, Mina Fury and her sisters removed their makeup and costumes as they changed into their normal clothes. The sisters developed a bond with these kids, even Niilo himself while they also had fun together like everyone else does with friends. It was good these days to find friends to idolize them when the girls were not in character and truly love them for who they are. Mina and her sisters struggle to make friends because nobody could take them seriously! Sadly, that day was over and Hikaru came to get the 15 kids to take them back. Before he did, he spoke with Zippora for a little who sounded disappointed but she took it well with it. “I’m sorry that the kids have to leave so soon.” Zippora remarked. The man, who went by the name of Hikaru, replied back: “Same here, thank you for all you’ve done.” Zippora said back, “I should be the one to thank you, my own daughters and I just want to have a normal life, just to blend in with society. You know? I believe these kids of yours here went through something in their families and some of these kids lost their families or had horrible backgrounds that are just too tragic to mention so it’s good for them to ease the pain a little.” She giggles, “Do forgive my rant. It’s been a long time since I talk to someone more down to earth, someone….like you.” Zippora said. Hikaru beamed, “Your daughters are a delight, even you are Zippy.” He said. “Thank you; hope these kids will remember this for the rest of their lives.” Zippora said. “I believe they will.” Confirmed Hikaru. The adults were talking for a little bit however Mina and her sisters were sad that their friends had to leave however they didn’t want them to see the heartbroken feelings they were going through. But they ran into Emmett and the others as they hope to see them again someday. “We’ll always be friends forever won’t we?” Mina asked. “Always.” Emmett confirmed with delight. “Forever!” echoed Maidoc. “Yeah!” Everyone said in unison. The entire scene was so touching that Mina smiled, “Thank you…” She said but tears begin to form at her eyes and cascade down her cheeks. Mandy, Ophelia, Mildred and Nana begin to cry as well. Emmett embraced Mina, patting her back. He gently pulls away to look into her eyes, “Don’t cry, we’ll miss you.” Emmett assured her. “Aww, we’ll miss you too.” Mina said, she was now crying and a group hug ensues. Despite the sugary sweet of Skinny Minnie that wasn’t his thing; Niilo couldn’t help but shed tears. He felt bad for Mina and her sisters as all they wanted was a friend. Or maybe more than just one. Those fifteen kids left, while Mina and her sisters waved goodbye while crying. Skinny Minnie’s Dollhouse was around for awhile until the finale came which was both sad yet heartrending. Although the show ended; there was a cult following! Skinny Minnie’s Dollhouse was a remarkable classic of all time. Years later; a young teenage girl name Helena Bedford and her friend, Shouta Samiru were leaving to head towards the city to deliver a message. Before leaving with Shouta; Helena waved as she called out, “I’ll go on ahead and announce you, see you there.” She then followed Shouta and they go to the city. They travel to the city by flight, thanks to Helena. The next moment later in the day; Shouta and Helena looked over at the city sights, “It’s so beautiful here; hard to believe this is the city life. Without these monsters roaming around, it would be a nice place to live.” She remarked. Clearly she was enamored with the city from the skyline they were on. “Yes, it would.” Shouta agreed. Helena could see a line of cards down the street, she could see people walking on the busy street when there wasn’t any cars in sight! She saw such beautiful life that made her soul with content. Just then, she saw soldiers scaring a lot of people and there was shouting while also commands of execution. Helena and Shouta saw this while they are horrified for what they are witnessing! Helena could see the monsters amongst the chaos and it was the monsters. She got up to the railing of the skyline; she was ready to leap when Shouta looked at her in horror. Helena was steadying herself and glared down at the monsters down there. “What are you doing?” called Shouta. But Helena hollered: “GO; WARN ONODERA!!!” She leaped from the skyline and glided away while Tracy howled back, “But Helena…” Too late though because she followed the soldiers by flight. She was flying so much and tries to use her air powers to try and stop the soldiers but it was hopeless so she uses a storm of wind to get them away from the city! She somehow got the attention of Dwight! He was surprised to see it. “What was that?” Dwight asked. “What?” inquired Taron, trying to see but couldn’t. “I thought I saw someone.” Dwight said, pointing over. Then, he saw someone flying as Dwight called out, “Look!” Just then, Helena appeared before Taron and his friends as she has her arms out. “Who are you?” Taron hollered. Helena called out, “Listen everyone--You’re in terrible danger; these people have done far too much killing to innocent lives. My powers won’t do anything to stop them now!” Perplexed; Lucy thinks Helena is leading them into a trap so she and the gang turned against her and try to attack the flying girl! Just then; Onodera and Shouta steps forward to protect Helena from harm. “What are they?” thought Itara. “Whoa…” Dwight managed to say. That's when Onodera calmly spoke up that everyone can hear him, “This has been a big misunderstanding; please we are only trying to help each other!” All at once, they all stopped and managed to come to a consideration. One day, there seem to be a disturbance coming from the other side so Emmett went to investigate. It was then Emmett discovered an outsider that wasn't from this area. He has white blonde hair; he wore black, and a mask. Surely, this was something that Emmett had never seen before! "Who the hell is this guy?" He wondered. He went down there to confront the guy. He had to know who this person was and where did he come! Emmett had his blades ready as he faced the person. "HEY!!!! HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, ARE YOU THE ENEMY?!" cried Emmett. The white haired guy didn't answer, he looked like he was in his late teens, maybe older than Emmett but he looked younger. Although by his serious looks, he seemed to be mature. "Who are you?" Emmett asked. Still no answer. The young man with the white hair stopped and looked around, "I don't think this is my world, isn't it?" He asked. "No, it isn't. Where did you come from?" Emmett said. "I'm Samaru. Shouta Samaru. I don't know who you are but you're in my way." Shouta said, he became into something else. Emmett was horrified by this sight as he defended himself against Shouta! As it seemed, Emmett knew that this guy was pretty strong! But he wasn't going to give up without a fight! He clashed with Shouta as however Shouta managed to strike a hit on Emmett, giving him a bleeding cut and managed to escape into some iridescent light as Emmett followed! But while running, Emmett lost sight of the boy and looked for him when all of a sudden, Emmett was pulled into a corner and saw it was a girl. “Come on, we have to flee! Hurry!” She said and they got away! Emmett thanked the girl for helping him, the girl smiled and said: “You’re welcome.” The girl was none other than Helena Bedford: Helena is a beautiful young teenage girl with very thick dark purple hair that falls to about her shoulders but would be longer if straightened out. She's slim, with wide hips and an average but not too big chest. She has amber brown eyes, a slight tan from the island's sunny weather, and a beauty mark under her left eye and also darker eyebrows. She and Emmett became friends while Emmett becomes interested in Helena for her personality is magnetic, unique and something not so ordinary. However, she was leading Emmett down a path he did not recognize. “Follow me, there’s something I want to show you…If you promise not to run away.” Helena said. Emmett nodded, “OK.” He said. They came across a place where they found a street and came across a park where monsters were in the area. Just then, Helena confronted them and took a deep breath before blowing them away in a windstorm whirling about before they were thrown away. Emmett was shocked by this! “How did you…” He started to ask, pointing his thumb back there. Helena knew what he means and explains, “Oh that? Air, it’s my ability.” She smiled. They managed to walk away from the area where they came across a tree and Helena pulled out a string of wire and said to Emmett. “Would you mind tying that wire around my waist?” asked Helena. Emmett looked skeptical so he complied and Helena smiled at him. She glided over to help a kitten get down from a tree, Helena help the kitten back to the mother cat as she smiled to see the cat and her kittens together again like a family. Once she got her shoes back on and removed the wire to put it in her bag; Helena put her backpack sling on her shoulder and said to Emmett, “Come meet the others.” She said and walked off. Emmett followed her, confused and inquisitive about all this. There Emmett got to meet a man: He was a distinguished male with green eyes and dark hair that is tidy, and appears to be in his mid thirties to early forties at the oldest. He always wore navy blue formal clothes of a high collared suit that is buttoned tightly at the throat. He wore black tights and heels. The man noticed Emmett & Helena as he smiled and greeted the boy, “Emmett, right on time. Onodera Buxton delighted to meet you.” She had her hand out which Emmett took it and felt comfortable but still skeptical. He was then given a tour where Emmett got to meet the others: Taron Dainan, Dwight Chamberlain, Itara Nagel, Senan Liang, and Lucy Morara. He then recognized a familiar face—it was Shouta Samaru! “It’s you!” Emmett stated. Shouta smiled, “You remember me? Oh, I’m touched.” He said. During his time there; Emmett discovered that these were not ordinary teenagers as they are talented with supernatural powers! “They have special gifts.” Emmett noted. Onodera shrugged slightly, “Of course, we don’t usually fit in the world and move to places like this.” She said. He explains that she calls this place her ‘House of Freaks’. Ever since he was born; Onodera Buxton was optimistic, he was a wide-eyed idealist and believe in a hope that warmed his heart to help to help see the good in others. However, as a naïve young man in his late-teens and early 20’s; Onodera meets a troubled young man that he was one year older with a dark past to boot! The man’s name was Ichiro Chiram, he has a dark desire to get her revenge against the person that destroyed his family and childhood! Onodera try to convince Ichiro that revenge is not the way, but the two women bonded with each other—it almost seemed like those two young men like lovers than friends because of the closeness they were to each other. Although Ichiro already did his revenge and took down the person responsible; Onodera and Ichiro were still friends but most times, enemies. During dinner; the other teenagers showed their powers. Only one was too nervous to display them because she seemed anxious and a little mortified to do so. “Lucy, what’s the matter?” Onodera asked with apprehension. “She’s afraid of scaring Emmett.” Dwight remarked. Emmett shook his head as he assured the girl, “Don’t be.” He was very meaningful about it. The little girl smiled and used her powers which surprised Emmett, who was not terrified. Afterwards; Emmett talked with Onodera who knew about him. “I knew you were like us since the moment you were born.” Onodera said. Emmett was surprised, “I thought I was normal.” He said. “No, you’re not.” Said Helena. “It’s time you know your reason to be here.” Added Onodera, “Your reason is that you are here to serve and protect us.” Emmett was shocked. Onodera looked at him and said in a low voice, “Promise me one thing Emmett…When I’m not around, look after them all.” Emmett said with a nod, “I promise I will.” 

Later; Helena watched Emmett, Shouta, Taron, Dwight, Itara, Senan, and Lucy during training. She was watching them with content. Just then during the fight calisthenics; Emmett accidentally kicked the ball as it went up in the air—much to his horror. Helena saw the ball go up and went into an old manor, Emmett and his friends would not go in for the house is haunted! Emmett and Taron argue with one another, Shouta stops them while Lucy and Itara talked about how the old house used to belong to a witch and ghosts haunts there. But Dwight thought it was a load of crap and Senan he suggests going and getting the ball together. That’s when Helena approached, “Can I come? I’ll lead the way. I’m not afraid of a haunted house.” She said with a humble, confident matter. The group exchanged glances before looking back at Helena smiling. A few moments later; Helena leads the group into the so-called haunted house as they got closer, the bigger and scarier it looks. Nevertheless; Helena was brave. There was a sound that seemed like a ‘whoooo’ that scared Emmett and his friends but Helena assured them, “Don’t worry, it’s just the wind.” Dwight spoke up, “Do you think someone’s in there?” Helena shrugged, “Let’s find out.” She replied. She opened the door of the gate and they walked up to the porch. Helena casually went up to the door and knocked, she noticed something. “Oh, look. The door is ajar, shall we go in?” She asked. They entered to see filthy and ancient furniture; looks like no one had been here for a long time. But the gang proceeds on ahead while Helena stayed behind to look around. Memories begin to flood back to her: She recalled on how she was a young orphan when she was going to the beach with other children. As they got to the beach; the children were excited to have fun! Some were playing in the water at the shallow area, eating hot dogs, snorkeling, making sand castles and running from hermit crabs they had discovered! As for Helena, she was sitting on a beach towel before she got up and went into the water where she swam under as she could see the underworld but her memories were interrupted by reality. Helena could hear a voice calling out to her: “Hey Helena, come on! Where are you?” It was Emmett’s voice hollering so Helena followed the voice. The door opened as Helena, Emmett, Shouta, Itara, Dwight, Taron, Senan and Lucy looked around before walking down the hall. There was a strange feeling of being watched! But Helena showed no fear while strolling down the halls. Although it was dark, dusty and creepy; Helena was calm like Emmett and Shouta It seems that it was all eerily quiet; however Helena felt tranquility over her. They reached the attic where the gang searches for the ball. During that time; Helena took a deep breath and gusts of her inhalation whooshes the dust which caused the particles cascades down like snow. She then lifts her palms up and twirled around while the others watched as she sighed to herself. Then, Helena noticed the ball rolling to her and Helena picked it up. “Got it.” She said. Emmett and his friends walked outside with the strange girl Helena. They were stunned by how magical yet brave she was! They thought Helena wasn’t afraid of anything. That night, she saw something dangling in the air! “Oh, it’s a spider.” Helena remarked. “Do you like spiders?” Lucy asked. Helena shrugged, “Sure.” She said. “Then go on and kissed it.” Dared Itara sneakily. Helena smiled, “OK.” She answered. She leaned over and pressed her lips against it as she smacked her mouth against it in a short kiss. “Wow! She got it!” exclaimed Senan. Helena beamed happily to the dazed looks! Helena used her powers to light up the dark rooms of places, she likes to watch thunder and lightning from her window. The stormy sky was brightened up by lightning sparks. When the children have one of their toys taken by a mean dog, Helena would get the toy back in one piece after struggling against the dog. She notices that a child of a little girl wanted her jump rope back that a bully took from her. Helena uses her wind abilities to tie the bully up in the jump rope, much to the little girl’s amusement. Helena grinned as well, stating: “I am very brave.” She pats herself on the back lightly. She help the orphaned children deal with monsters in closets or under beds. Helena stepped on every crack of the sidewalk without fear, she sauntered backwards with her eyes close before turning around. She snarled at dogs and bares her teeth at stray cats. She ascended up a tree and broke off the twigs and branches of the tree that they made a snapping noise, pretending the trees were evil creatures as she was breaking their fingers off! Then, Helena rode a bicycle for a moment but let go of the handlebars and spread her arms out as she closes her eyes. She could feel the breeze against her face, but was glided in the air! Helena then begins to hear the children cheered: “Yay! Go Helena GO!!!” That’s when Helena recalled memories of being close to Onodera as a fatherly figure that adopted her. Young Helena and Onodera did things together, like father-daughter relationships did: Helena and Onodera went to the city. They spend the day going to the museum—the strange girl and the graceful yet wise lady. Little Helena was amazed by the exhibits of bones from dinosaurs and Native Americans as well as the Egyptian exhibit. Helena was amazed by all she saw, she and Onodera went to the aquarium. As imaginative as she was; Young Helena manages to get into the water and used her powers to create life in the sea of aquatic animals. At a seal show, Young Helena balanced upon a ball with the seals which amazed everyone, much to the delight of Onodera. Just then in the present, Itara was shouting out Emmett’s name as well as Taron. Helena looked up and saw she Emmett and Taron were being lifted off the ground by monsters as they were dropped down below. Helena ran over and flew just in time to catch Emmett and Taron! They both are shocked; the two looked up at Helena. She notices and grins at them, the sunlight against her hair which causes her locks and Helena looked like a supernatural beauty. She placed Emmett and Taron down safely while the gang took down the monsters! “You sure are brave, Helena.” Emmett remarked. “I’m not always brave; I can be a scaredy cat too.” Helena replied with a shrug. “Yeah right.” Muttered Taron. Ignoring him; Helena placed her arms out, they were raised up and bend over, she lifted her legs up as she did a perfect cartwheel. After doing cartwheels; Helena then begins to walk off when Dwight called out, “Helena, where are you going?” Helena said, “Don’t worry. I’m just going to explore.” She walked down the sidewalk, she turned corners and crossed streets but soon she came across somewhere unfamiliar to her but she didn’t mind when all of a sudden she look to see a newspaper about how it read about crime and also other dreadful things. Helena was troubled by this, she kept walking and she begins to hear voices in her head. She then saw someone as Helena recognized him as Ichiro Chiram. Ichiro was bad news as he was headed towards Emmett and the others who saw Ichiro where he attacked everybody as this scared Helena! The sounds of everyone in danger were frightening and her thoughts became more horrendous. This caused Helena sunk to the ground, she begins to cry: “Somebody help…” She sniffed while she thought of her friends. She then cried out for help until she found herself in a dark space of her mind. In her emotional state of stress; Helena turns into an eerily slimmer, dark brown hair all straightened up and she gained voluptuous curves as well as a large bosom size than her average size normally. Her outfit changes to a navy blue corset with a deep V slash tightly laced up. Helena also wore a matching blue skirt that reached her ankles. The attire she was in has no sleeves instead she has shoulder straps! However; Helena’s face was almost white and lips were almost darker but the irises were a light pink and her new appearance was shocking to everyone! Helena took down Ichiro as she saved everyone from trouble. Ichiro managed to get away, frightened and Helena turned back to normal. Emmett helps her up, comforting her. Later; Helena sat across from the others, she was sitting up straight and running her fingers through her hair a little anxious. “So, what’s this about?” She asked politely. Emmett stares at Helena in wonder, “What is she really?” He thought. Helena did not even notice the intense stares! She smiles as she asked, “Something wrong?” Emmett and the gang shook their heads. At the meeting; Emmett Ounslow is given the codename, Living Weapon. Helena Bedford goes by the alias name Gem. Shouta Samaru is known as Death Defier. Taron Dainan is called the Ace for Hire. Dwight Chamberlain is given the codename Mantle while Itara Nagel is known as Cutlass. Senan Liang is known as Wall Man. And Lucy Morara is called Knight Stance. Onodera Buxton’s codename is Sentinel Liberty, Masato Nakami’s codename is called Annihilator, Kunani Mineo is known as the She Devil and Ichiro Chiram is known as Corpus. They were shown pictures of a boy with a white face mask and a technologically advanced eye-patch on his dominant left eye. He wears a molded bulletproof red-and-black vest and body suit, as well as multiple holsters on his person, which contain various firearms all the time, his name is Maidoc Kuno. Another boy with combed back hair, he wears a maroon shirt, a stylish gray jacket with a black collar over it, black dress pants and shoes, black socks with some thin white stripes, and purple gloves on his hands…His name is Soren Ryuchi. There was a girl with blonde hair with each her strands of dyed one half pink and one half blue halfway up. She has blue eyes and noticeably pale skin. Her main outfit consists of a baseball-style jersey shirt, fishnet leggings below red and blue sparkly jeans, black and white stiletto boots, and a jacket with the words 'Heathens' written across the back. She also keeps her hair in two ponytails high on her head, and a choker necklace. Her name is Ainara Zhao! A third boy wearing a cap, a brownish-gray trench-coat with a sewn right sleeve. On that same side, he wears a glove under his trench-coat as well as a blue vest. This was Rinon Shiko! A fourth boy with tattoos over his body, as well as skull tattoos, outlining his own skull and face. He wears a black-and-blue jacket and a white t-shirt underneath. His name was Kaijin Iskikai. There was another girl shoulder-length black hair and dark eyes, she wears a mask with a symbol on her forehead. She also wears a white band with the same symbol on her right arm and has a katana at all times. Her name is Chiara Airen! And the last guy, Niilo wears a pair of black jeans and matching shirt with bulletproof vest as well as combat boots. These were Emmett and his friends’ next targets to find them. One day, Emmett was walking on the sidewalk when he saw something that caught his eye in his view before him: A girl was in a mint green swing skirt, a pink shirt with a white collar with a keyhole back button, an ivory and pastel pink chiffon large bow on her head and a gold-tone name plate necklace around her neck. She waits by the bus stop, Emmett noticed the girl as he approached the girl. “Are you OK?” He asked. The girl look up, revealing she wore cat eye framed dark blue tinted sunglasses. She smiled at him, which puzzled Emmett. Emmett approached the girl who looks up shyly, “Can I help you sir?” The girl asked. “Are you waiting for the bus?” Emmett said, “I’m sorry but the last one departed. I mean, from the station. Where are you heading off to?” The girl fumbled with her fingers, “Um…well, I…” She stammered. Emmett reached his hand out to her and assured her, “Don’t be scared, I won’t hurt you. If you wish to take me somewhere, I’d be glad to take you. I don’t like to see a girl sitting by herself all alone.” So the girl took his hand and off they went. “Are you sure there’s no one looking out for you?” The girl asked. Emmett shook his head, “No. Besides my loved ones are gone.” He replied. The girl looked away, “I’m sorry…” She said softly with genuine sympathy. Emmett turned back to her, “What? Why?” He asked. The girl looked back at him, “It must be hard for you.” She said. “Yeah, I know.” Emmett said, he looked at the girl. The girl noticed, “What?” She asked. “Nothing, it’s just…I have the strangest feeling we’ve met before.” Emmett stated. The girl shrugged, “Who knows, maybe we have—maybe we haven’t. I don’t know.” She answered. They stopped at a diner and went inside to sit. They gave a waitress their orders and converse a little. That’s when, a little girl approached the girl, “Excuse me, don’t I know you?” She asked. The girl looked surprised, “I don’t think so.” She said politely. The little says, “My sister was a big fan of you, she showed me re-runs! You’re Skinny Minnie!” Heads turned and the little girl’s older sister approached: “Aren’t you Mina Fury?” She asked. The girl blushed, “Yes…I am.” She confirmed. Emmett gasped in shock as everyone was so excited to meet the now grown up Mina Fury, former star of Skinny Minnie, was sitting across from him! Girls of all ages came forth with excitement and Skinny Minnie was nice enough to talk to them, sign autographs, and just be genuinely nice to them. Mina would glance over at Emmett apologetic as she looked shameful however Emmett smiled and pats her shoulder in reassurance. Later on, the two of them walk out after Mina said goodbye. It was quiet for awhile until Emmett smirked, “So did you miss me?” He asked. Mina looked a little shy, “I never forgotten about you. Really.” She claimed. “It’s all right, you dropped off the map for a little while. Didn’t you?” inquired Emmett. “Yes, for personal reasons and to have a normal life for a little while.” Mina said. Emmett embraced Mina, he whispered: “I missed you so much, Minnie.” Mina hugged him back, “Me too.” She said softly and a smile appeared on her lips, happy to see her old friend again. 

Meanwhile; Maidoc Kuno is out into the city and saw danger out there while he saw a car out of control. He wasn’t scared but she did all he could to stop the vehicle though he felt the tires being slashed and the vehicle tumbled about. Maidoc managed to use his strength to stop it. He sighed with relief until out of the corner of his eye, he saw movement. Maidoc used the buttons and he managed to open them in the tipped over vehicle while in the confusion trying to stay as calm as possible. The commanding soldier and his squad surround the vehicle and called out, “Attack!” Maidoc’s hands threw his up to halt them, “WAIT!!!” He proceeds to say: “You may be wandering who I am. Well, that’s for you to find out.” Maidoc pointed over, “This chick does, just look at her expression.” She said. The girl looked both perplexed and blushing. The others didn’t looked amused however there was growling sound. Just then; Maidoc smirked, holding up two guns. “Cue the music!” She said. Maidoc did an aerial and fired her guns at the enemies. Taking them out, Maidoc said: “Looks like someone’s gonna express some rage.” He could feel he was being watched though he didn’t care as he continued to fight but then the monster slashed at him! “Ah-haha-ow!” exclaimed Maidoc. He kicked at the monster, breaking its neck as it let out a nasty crunch. “Yaagh, right up mainstream!” Maidoc cried. He looked up and was nervously intimidated by a commanding officer who looked decently annoyed and has an irritated glare upon his face. Maidoc knew that this was going to be a lot of explaining to do. Moments later while in the military vehicle; Maidoc played with the windows out of boredom. He leaned to the driver as he said: “Y’know, its kinda lonesome back here.” The commanding officer guy let out an ‘hmph’ though Maidoc could tell that he was smiling. It was quiet until the guy spoke up. “Kaiken, Acharon.” The man said. “Kuno, Maidoc.” Maidoc replied. “So, what brings you here Mr. Kuno?” Acharon asked. “Well, it’s my lucky day and I’m after a guy on my shit list.” He answered. Acharon nodded, “I see.” He said. “I didn’t ask for this and I’m no psycho, but when a killer is at large, the time has come to be a friggin’ psycho!” Maidoc declared. Acharon nodded with approval. They drove to a military base where they stopped. Just then; a monster appears; roaring when it is punched and its neck broke with a sickening crack.  “Hello boys n’ girls!” called Maidoc. The army was in shock. Maidoc looked up and saw a girl waving to him. This was Ainara Zhao!  “What was that!? I should kill ‘em all and escape?” Ainara exclaimed. Everyone was startled, Ainara giggled as she said: “Sorry.” She pointed to the temple of her head, “The voices in my head.” The soldiers are confused, Ainara laughed. “I’m kidding! No, that’s not what they really said.” She claimed while smirking. Acharon let out an ‘hmph’, “Well I think we need to converse but first you all need to stay in confinement.” He announced. Later, Maidoc peered through the room and looked over at Tate, “In here?” He asked. “Just for a little while.” Acharon assured him. Ainara, Rinon, Kaijin and Chiara were OK with it but Maidoc hated being locked into places and was being scared but he was shoved in. However, he didn’t stop begging! “Lemme outta here, please!” Maidoc begged. The door slammed in his face. Maidoc banged on the door, “LEMME OUTTA HERE SONOFABITCH!!!” He shouted. His shouting echoed down the halls as he made a lot of noise. From the other rooms; Ainara, Rinon, Kaijin and Chiara ignored him, screaming his head off. In the meantime; Acharon was at this meeting with Hikaru and the other squad members as he was having a discussion with them. “I was assign to a squad of some people with troubled pasts.” Acharon said. “Why is that?” Hikaru inquired. “Let’s just say they can fight well but they have determination to serve and protect other people.” Acharon explained. “They’re worst of the worst.” Tate noted. “Oh yeah, to the monsters.” agreed Acharon. He then took a look at the files from the background story of the five soldiers of the Ainara Squad. “Let’s see… Maidoc Kuno…He and his friend, Soren Ryuichi, were victims to a sick experiment and to a tragedy…This is Ainara Zhao, her sister Lilith was murdered and suffers as a lab rat. Chiara Airen, she is a wealthy young lady with struggling with success. Rinon Shiko, he has suffered losses such as his family and how much he went through…annnnnddd Kaijin Ishikai is here to help his sister name Terra who is now kidnapped by an organization.” Hikaru nodded, “Yes that’s exactly right.” He said, “How can your girls compare to my soldiers?” Acharon said, “Did I mention that three male teens are mentally unstable at times?” Hikaru realized what Acharon means by that, “They’re all experimental lab rats.” He said. Acharon glance at him, “Exactly.” He replied. “Acharon, what makes you think you can control them?” Hikaru asked. “Because doing what the boss says is what I do for a living. I want to believe that these teenagers could actually do some good.” Archaron answered. After the teenagers were being released, they were lead away from the rooms and into a whole different chamber. Maidoc looked around as she let a wry smile loose, “What is this? Uh, cheerleading tryouts?” He said with sarcasm. “No, training.” Hikaru answered. He gives him two guns for him, Maidoc’s eyes widened, “You jokers must be crazy.” He claimed. He tries out the guns and is surprised how well they are! The others got equipped by other officials, the problem was for Ainara had to change there and she didn’t mind anyone watching, she was pretty much oblivious. That’s when Ainara noticed the stares, “What?” She asked. But the soldiers looked away and went on to their business. Just then, Acharon waited patiently before clearing his throat and that got people’s attention. “All you know is that you work for me now, but this is the deal—you’re going somewhere bad and possible gets yourself killed. Let me make one thing clear: Don’t disobey me. Don’t try to escape. Don’t irritate or vex me.” He explained. Ainara raised her hand up to say while letting out an ‘ahem’, “Um, I am known to be quite vexing—I’m just warning you.” Acharon smirks in her direction, “I know, just don’t piss me off all right?” He said. Ainara dropped her hand rolled her eyes slightly and pretended to pout however she knew this was coming. “So if we get caught or killed, you throw us under the bus?” Ainara retorted. Acharon stared down at Ainara, “You’d think I would do that? I wouldn’t forgive myself for such a terrible thing.” He said, “I know you have been trying to take down the monsters, we are too but we’re more advanced.” Maidoc couldn’t help but ask, “Who’s idea was this?” Acharon looked at him and did something on an interactive device where he displays something for everyone. A girl seated in a chair was wearing a push-up molded bra cups and a fun mix of bright colors and black and white harlequin trim. Plastic boning and back hook-and-eye closure provide shaping and support. With faux buttons and a cute purple bow accent. There was a small top hat, an oversized satin bow, a felt card, and a green headband. Fabric hat pins and a faux peacock feather also adorn the hat. “Hello, my name is Juliet Bansey. I am the one that brought you all together. You should know some rules…If you dare try to defy me, I will hunt you down. These attempts will result in death, if you dare to fail. Or give up. Or even become a jerk. Remember…I’m watching, I see everything and I am your consequence. Don’t lose, got it? My sisters—Viola, Elaine, Rose and Muffy—are watching. I find you all interesting so don’t lose it got it?” The communication ended as Maidoc and the others are stunned by this. Hearing this; Maidoc smiled at this revelation, “I got it. You guys want us to be a creature hunting organization huh. Cover ups, patsies, like the bad guys or a death squad.” He replied. Maidoc cocked his guns, “Let’s go save the world.” He announced. Later, Maidoc was given the chance to with the Ainara Squad but soon there was trouble. The additional drivers will engage in high speed pursuits involving dozens of patrol cars for the flimsiest of reasons. But Maidoc drove and was terrified but in this pursuit of vehicles, there were monsters that were trying to take down the Ainara Squad. Though the monsters never dream that this guy would chase after such trouble. They went to ridiculous lengths to catch them for what, at most, could be something more until Maidoc managed to hit the gas as the vehicle went flying and they got away so soon! Despite this, Maidoc and his friends were still in one piece--they were shocked at how they are still alive! “Woooo—weeeeeee! What a ride!” Ainara said excitedly. “Guess they weren’t kidding about the crazy ones, huh.” Ainara said in a teasing tone. Ainara looked at her, “Huh?” She asked. “Come on, enough talk---Look!” Chiara said, pointing to the monsters that were coming. Everyone prepared themselves, “Let’s play!” Maidoc claimed, “Let’s gooooooo!!!!!” The battle started as everyone battled the oncoming monsters. “Light it up!” Chiara yelled. Through the time; Maidoc and the others fought off against them while he faced them along while ignoring Chiara’s protests. Once he was done, Chiara lectures him! Maidoc sighed at Chiara’s nagging voice. “We don’t have time for your B.S.! Besides, nobody’s getting hurt!” He claimed. As he said that, there was a crash. Eyebrows were raised, but Maidoc insisted: “That guy was up there before we got here!” There was danger ahead as frightened children were being confronted by the beasts. “Oh man!” Maidoc groaned. But he rubbed his hands together, “Time to let the sparks fly!” He bellowed. And he went full throttle on the monster legion, not allowing anyone close to him while he fought.  “You’re pathetic, you aren’t strong enough! You want to defeat these savages? I expect better from you!” Maidoc scolded towards Kaijin. “What? You’re calling me weak?” Kaijin exclaimed. “Well, you sound like you want to give up! You’re a fool, Kaijin—will you fall behind as a weakling?” Maidoc said, shoving Kaijin to a pillar. He sneered at him as he cried out, “No!” Maidoc continues with more provokes, “What about helping your sister? You care about her, don’t ya? What kind of brother are you if you give up? You are just like the other people, a coward!” He pegged. “That’s not true!” Kaijin protested. “Right! You don’t have the courage!” Maidoc said, pushing Kaijin further. Ainara was surprised. Chiara gasped. Rinon looked frightened and shivers at this. “What you gonna do now?” demanded Maidoc. Kaijin’s temper increased into angry! “You want to see how piss I am?” He exclaimed. “Yeah, I want to see!” Maidoc said loudly. “You really want to see anger?” Kaijin screamed. “Yeah, show it to me!” Maidoc cried. Everyone was nervous for the situation that was coming to a head! Maidoc looked with a calm expression upon his façade. Kaijin grinned at his reaction. “You look scared, heh!” Kaijin said with a smirk. Maidoc nodded, “Yeah, but not too bad.” He admitted. He wasn’t so shocked or scared. Kaijin leered down at him, “You’re gonna pay for what you said.” He replied. Maidoc reflected with his smirk, “I know, that was the idea of what I was doing.” He retorted. Kaijin glance at him with disbelief. “Wait, what?” He asked. Maidoc held his hands up calmly, “I was trying to get you there. Your breaking point, that’s what I meant.” The others were shocked and relieved at this sight. “No hard feelings right? We good?” Maidoc asked. Kaijin, Rinan, and Chiara were too shocked for words but only Ainara chuckled, “Well! That was really clever.” She remarked smugly. There was a sound of glass breaking that made everyone jumped and turned around. But they sighed to see Chiara took a hatchet from the broken glass. “Seriously?! The hell is wrong with you people?” demanded Kaijin. Chiara looked at with sarcasm and annoyance, “We’re the troubled ones, right? It’s what we do!” She claimed. And sashayed from the glass pieces while stomping her feet away. They all faced enemies and they were now walking quite a lot when they stopped at a tavern. “Let’s take a break here.” Maidoc stated. “This is a tavern.” Kaijin said. “So?” Maidoc said, like it wasn’t a big deal. Chiara protested: “Are you crazy? We’re under age!” Maidoc rolled his eyes, “We’re not going to drink alcohol, relax!” He assured her. “I always come prepared which I carry the drinks for everyone. Every single kind.” Ainara smiled with confidence and of self-reliance by those words and grinned. “C’mon, got something better to do?” She remarked, walking past the others who followed her. She leaped to behind the bar and sighed as she was given the beverages by Maidoc and got them out. She acted like a bartender, trying to be all charming and sweet. “All right kiddies, what’cha havin?” Ainara asked casually. One at a time, they replied: “Seltzer.” Rinan remarked. “Diet.” Chiara answered. “What am I? Twelve?” retorted Maidoc. Ainara rolled her eyes, “Regular I have to assume.” She said. She glanced over at Marcus, “How ‘bout you, bad boy?” Ainara remarked. Kaijin gave a look towards Maidoc and pointed at him. “I’ll have what he’s having.” He said. Maidoc looked surprised, even Noboru was amazed. Chiara was speechless while Ainara stifled her laughter! “That’s a good idea honey.” She said. Maidoc glared at Kaijin, “Copycat.” He remarked. “Shut up.” Kaijin snapped. “Why would you have the same drink as me?” Maidoc argued. “So what? Get over it!” Kaijin injoined. Chiara stated: “Let’s do something fun.” Maidoc and Kaijin exchanged grins with one another. The battles against the monsters continues as they won’t stop until they get the job done. Maidoc and the others fought the monsters as they took them down! They were feeling victorious, “Wooo! That was amazing!” exclaimed Maidoc. “My, my! That was impressive kiddies.” A voice said. Maidoc, Ainara, Rinan, Kaijin and Chiara were shocked to recognize who that was! “It’s him, our enemy.” Ainara articulated. The gang was alarmed by this sight. “Uh oh.” Ainara uttered. “Not good!” Kaijin said. There were four of them; the ring leader, his second in command as well as two other females. “Well, well, what have we here? You got friends. So, this is the new crowd. I gotta say, you thought this would be the last time you heard of me but you were wrong.” Remarked the ring master. “I think you all will be perfect for our little toys, it would be a shame to see you waste away. Why don’t you come with us?” agreed the second in command. Maidoc glared at them and fakes a smile, “Sorry, ain’t gonna happen!” He retorted. And they escaped where they are contacted as they had to get to the building around the area. Upon entering the building, Maidoc and his friends found five figures, he wasn’t sure who they were but he called out to them: “Um, excuse me? You there, can you assist us?” The five figures turned, Maidoc was lucky to get their attention as he saw there were three guys and two girls. The first guy responded, “Yes?” Maidoc showed him the map, “Could you tell me where this training ground is?” He inquired. The first guy seems to know the exact place, “Oh you guys are heading towards the battlefield huh.” He asked. Emily was relieved for having to have asked the right person which will save his and his friends from wasting unnecessarily time. Another guy asked, “You’re heading towards the battle against monsters? Seriously?” He turned to his friends, “Hey, guys...These are the ones that Kaiken mentioned. He called them the ‘Death Squad’.” Maidoc’s mouth curled into a smile, “Acharon told you about us, huh.” She said sneakily. First Guy just smirked, “More like ranting. He was saying how you were the ‘good kind of squadrons’.” He replied. First Guy introduced himself as Niilo Butcher. The second guy was Onin Tatsuo and other guy was Ivan Zaim. The two other girls were Taafe Etou and Portia McLane. Maidoc managed to get himself prepared with guns against the monsters, he asked to be given weapons and Taafe, out of the kindness of her heart, got them for Maidoc. Practically the entire military’s weaponry. “Damn, that’s gangsta!” He said while chuckling. “Is that a pep talk or just sounding ghetto?” guessed Niilo. “Neither…hey, so intense isn’t it?” Maidoc said in a breezy tone. “OK, that’s all the rest of them.” Taafe stated. “Uh uh. No. No, no, no, no! Hand it over.” Commanded Maidoc, he was no fool and sounded impatient. Portia rolled her eyes but she rummaged through the stuff while Maidoc decreed: “Left, left, ugh! Other left, other, other!” He saw the last weapon handed to her and took it, “Mmm-hmm, thank you! Thank you!” Maidoc answered. “You really think this is going to work?” asked Niilo with a skeptical look. Maidoc gave him a look, “Got any other ideas?” He inquired. Maidoc and his friends are exchanging glances. “Do you actually believe we’re gonna let you guys that easily?” asked Ainara. Niilo and the others turned with shocked glances. “What?” asked Niilo. “Come on, I know we’re a team but I promise myself I ain’t losing you people. All right?” Maidoc replied with a smile. He got stares of disbelief in his direction. “Must you always be so headstrong?” Niilo asked in a biting tone. Maidoc smirked, “No, it’s more fun that way. Every second counts.” He replied. Neeta smiled a bit. “Wow, he really is stubborn.” Portia remarked. “I like him.” Onin said. There seemed to be a battle. Niilo and the others arranged to face their enemies of familiar people. “When is your ‘hero’ coming?” The first woman asked in the most taunting voice. Niilo, his friends, and the others prepared for battle. “Soon.” Niilo stated. “I always wondered when soon is.” One of the duos stated with a smirk on his face. Just then, Maidoc leaped behind him and almost knocked him over as he land on his feet perfectly. All eyes were on him, Maidoc cracked a smile: “Have I come at a bad time?” He asked. The enemies were shocked to see him walk into battle in a casual manner. “You shouldn’t have come here.” The second of the duo remarked. “We shall take the lives of all your friends.” The second girl taunted. “Sounds very dangerous.” Replied Maidoc. “And so are you.” A voice said. Maidoc turned around and gasped. His friends and allies were equally shocked. “Hello Maidoc.” Said the ring leader. Chiara let out a yelp. The male duo’s names are William Howard, the smug one, and the solemn tone guy was Benjamin Wabal. The female duo’s names are Ramona Newell and Henrietta Ying. The second girl was Henrietta and the taller woman was Ramona. The second in command was Makari Senbei and the ring leader was none other than Alphonse Lagrange. In the time of confronting their enemies; Niilo thought of Mindel Marion, Mindel is waiting for Niilo who she believes is everything to her. Her anxiety makes her keep looking out of the window the moment any taxi passes by or stops in the hope that Niilo has finally home. Wanting to avoid disappointing him, should he come home, she has stayed in the apartment for quite a long time, making this a very unhealthy relationship as her own life and ties to other people are cut, just to try please Niilo. She also has this unwavering belief that eventually he will come, even if it is after eternity. Portia’s relationship with Niilo, she makes excuses for his whereabouts, something that even she, is not privy to. In her fantasies the clouds seem to spell her name, a message she takes to be from Niilo. Mindel prays or that she imagines that she talks to some supernatural beings. It seems that in her spare time she counts stars, to help time move a little faster, which is a futile act. Mindel is making wishes on passing cars, contrary to the norm which her dissociation from reality. Mindel is getting involved with new people to fill the void left by Niilo. Instead, these strangers just do further damage to her, while she keeps hoping that Niilo will turn up and save her. Mindel too will be saved by the man she loves. Mindel goes out into society not to find her footing but rather to try seeing if she can see or feel hints of man. In a way, she is doing her investigations to see if he may be hanging around somewhere else in the neighborhood. He must be in a vast ultra-urban city, a city in whose darkness she thinks he is lost in. When she is asked about his whereabouts, she keeps making excuses because even she does not know where he is. She thinks that she is living in a movie, where the endings show that they all lived happily ever after. She cannot understand how he could leave without even a goodbye kiss. He shares her dreams, in which she longs for Niilo to save her from a situation of her own making, to love her and shield her from all that would want to hurt her. The thought of that scenario brings a smile to her lips. Niilo is nowhere to be seen, he is just an ordinary man, who she has placed on a pedestal and even when he is the one hurting her, she can’t see it. That night; Maidoc could see himself and his friends each all had the saddest nightmares: Maidoc attempts to commits suicide because he didn’t want to put his friends and family in danger so he thought it was better if he killed himself off. Soren tries to tell him to stop and that he’s out of his mind. Ainara also tries ripping his cursed gear sword out of his hand and tries to get Kaijin and Niilo to help her. Kaijin grabs the arm that’s holding his sword and hold his arm in place, Niilo tries to pry the sword out of Maidoc’s hands. Rinon cries and tries to talk sense into him. Chiara goes onto Rinon’s side and chooses to try to help talk some sense into him. He also could see in the hallucination of Ainara's death: Edom slaughtered her. He said he had something to help Maidoc and had a surprise for him, of course he gave off a few hints which Ainara took, but didn’t know she was going to be killed, so Sakhr stabbed Ainara in the back and through the chest to her heart, by the time the squad got there Sakhr was still there, along with deceased Ainara, lying on the ground bleeding. Maidoc shouts, “YOU BASTARD!!!!!! I’LL KILL YOU DIE!” And tries to kill Sakhr for hurting his family with his sword but can’t go through with it. Rinon cries while lying next to Ainara’s body. Kaijin picks up Ainara’s body and tries to listen to her chest and he sheds five tears only fall knowing she died and carries her. Niilo tells Maidoc to get a grip and those deaths happen all the time. Soren comforts Maidoc because he knows it’s hard, Soren actually starts crying over Ainara with him. Chiara cries and wishes she got along with her in the beginning. There was also Chiara's death in this hallucination as well. Chiara's sister was forced to kill her and couldn’t do it, so Chiara became willing to die or do anything she could to make her older sister proud of her. “Do it. If it’s what makes you happy big sis. I want you to be proud of me, that’s all.” She said standing still waiting while her sister killed her and cried. Maidoc cries feeling sorry for Chiara and her older sister who he tries to comfort as well. Soren doesn’t think he cares but he cries for some reason. Rinon holds Chiara in his arms and hugs her and sobs his eyes out because his comrade died. Ainara joins in with Rinon and they sob and hug Ainara. Kaijin feels sorry for Chiara's sister, and goes to comfort her since she was forced and said he knew what it was like having a little sister and had one he didn’t want to let go either. And Niilo silently cries. He rushed into a battle to save his little sister Terra, but him and his sister are both killed by Sakhr. Maidoc sobs wishing they had been nicer to each other then they had been. Rinon sobs and hugs Kaijin. Ainara tries to calm everyone down while sobbing herself eventually hugging Kaijin and sobbing into his chest with Rinon. Chiara tries to keep it together until seeing everyone down and cries but hugs Ainara, Rinon, and the lifeless body of Kaijin at the same time as they cry. Soren cries and says he should’ve done something about it. Niilo feels like an irresponsible comrade and that along with Soren cries and felt like he could’ve done something to prevent Kaijin’s death. Tears streamed down his face as Maidoc could see more of the hallucinations of more deaths, like Rinon's death hallucination: The enemy grabbed him by the neck and tried choking him to death and stabbed him with his sword until Rinon finally gave out, “A-At least, I-I can, go visit my sister…” He said and died. Maidoc sobs and holds Rinon in his arms and says he’s sorry he wishes he would’ve done something. Soren stares in disbelief actually feeling like Rinon was his friend and comrade and cries. Ainara rubs Rinon’s hair and says she’s sorry and cries. Chiara puts an arm around Rinon and sobs into her hand. Kaijin cries beside Maidoc and says he should’ve been doing something to prevent his death. Niilo cries because he had such faith in Rinon and he didn’t even try to stop it. There was Soren's death hallucination; Maidoc sobs and hold on to Soren and says “You’re gonna make it Soren! Please hold on! Soren!” And tries to make him speak to know he’s not dead. Ainara weeps and hugs Soren. She says she’s sorry and that she could’ve done something anything but she didn’t and sobs. Ainara feels bad and cries with Ainara & Maidoc and puts an arm around Soren. Rinon sobs and hugs Soren and says he’s a terrible friend and comrade for not saving him. Kaijin lets out two teardrops fall and tries to pull himself together and not sob, but it’s hard. Niilo cries a bit because he actually grew kind of fond of Soren. He saw Niilo's death: He was defending Ainara and her friends and was killed by the time they actually got there he was dead. Soren cries because he thought he was one of the first humans to have faith in him. Maidoc says he’s sorry and that he should’ve given Niilo more respect than he had in the past during their first meetings. Ainara sobs and wishes nothing was real. Chiara does the same as Ainara and says, “Rest in peace, Niilo, our friend…” and sobs. Kaijin says, “He was an excellent superior, we could learn a few things from him.” Rinon sobs and hugs Niilo's corpse. Maidoc was horrified by this as he could feel the fears and sobs uttering out, he whispers: “No, I promised I’d protect them all…” He woke up with a start, panting out of breath. Maidoc looked around and saw his friends were asleep, alive as he sighed with relief but collapse on the bed as he fell back asleep. Before he could, he noticed four girls; the sisters of Juliet’s were watching Maidoc and the others sleep. They were Viola, Elaine, Rose and Muffy! Scared out of his wits; Maidoc turned away as he fell asleep. 

The next day; the gang was settled into a meeting and missions coming before them which is to take on Emmett Ounslow and the gang! Maidoc Kuno is known as the codename, Slayer. Divine is Soren Ryuchi’s codename,  Ainara Zhao is known as Cupid, Rinan Shiko is known as Looking Glass. Kaijin Ishikai’s codename is Archfiend, Chiara Airen is known as Nihonta and Niilo Butcher’s codename is Hayrick Banner. Acharon Kaiken is also known as Mockingbird and his partner Hikaru was Harlequin. Maidoc and the gang learn that there was a guy out there with a codename that was titled Prowler King who is being hunted down by Emmett and the gang. While waiting the Onodera recalls how he and Acharon first met: He had found Acharon who was being tormented by Kitchi, who enjoyed it but a disgusted Onodera kills Kitchi and frees Acharon. Acharon took offense to Ondera’s superior and challenges him to a game to see who is the best. “May the best man win.” Ondera said. "Yes, you're now my enemy. How's that?" Onodera said. Acharon turned to him with a look of competitive sport on his face, "Let the games begin, may the best leader win." He said. His hand held out to him. Onodera took it and shook his hand as he confirms by saying, "Affirmative." And Onodera left as Acharon watched him go. In the present; Onodera had gathered Emmett and the others together for a meeting: “Welcome! As you know, you all work for me now. I am your boss, your friend and brother. Don't fail me on any assignment because is going to die on me." He walks around them and he continued to speak, "In this squad, you will be given your first assignment....Kidnap a group called the Heathens." There was a moment of silence as then there were a lot of complaints. "Aw, c'mon!" Dwight and Itara exclaimed. "You gotta be kidding me!" Taron retorted. "That's insane! Screw that!" complained Lucy. "I don't deal with those hooligans!" Helena piped up. But not everyone was complaining; Shouta was thrilled with the idea: "Sounds like fun!" Emmett smiled, "I like it. So, what's the plan?" He asked. "Take them down, don't kill them--Bring them back to me alive, I'll interrogate them alone." Onodera said. Emmett nods, "Deal." He said. "Good enough for me!" echoed Shouta. "Show time!" Helena stated. The others weren't so thrilled. "Great." Dwight said in a deadpan tone of voice. Taron's hand slapped his forehead, "Shit." He replied. Itara bowed his head in defeat. "Crap. This is not what I had in mind but let's do it." Lucy said. Onodera smiled, "You guys are a good choice. From this moment, whatever you do---Do not fail me now, my soldiers!" He instructed. And he leaves. Off went the team! Standing before them was a huge building; they got inside without being detected and looked around. "This is the headquarters of the Heathens? Pretty dark huh." Lucy remarked. Dwight shrugged, "It could be a haunted house for all we know." He said. "Oooh, I'm so scared. Right!" laughed Taron. Then, Emmett startles him from behind: "Boo." Taron almost tripped and managed to get back his footing as he glared at Emmett’s smirk. "Frick man, you scared the hell out of me!" He exclaimed. Emmett pretended to be surprise, "You got scared? I am utterly surprised." He said. Dwight chuckled while Helena sighed. Just then, they all heard a moan and someone is in pain. Emmett and Helena managed to find out where the sound is coming from a room inside. Helena called out to the figure, "Hello? Are you OK?" In the darkness, it was something black and shrouded in mystery. "Don't be afraid, we're looking for...." She said, inching closer but was pulled back by Emmett who held her close to him. "Hold it!" He said softly. From outside, Dwight could see black shrouded figures coming in their direction as he was horrified while crying out: "Oh crap! Crap! GUYS, GUYS, HERE THEY COME!!!" As he says this, he found Helena and Emmett, who turned to him and saw the figure growled as it looked angry. Dwight was terrified, but it was too late. "RUN LIKE HELL!!!" Helena screamed. Dwight was left to fight that figure! The alarm went off as things got into a panic for Heathens. "'The hell is going on?" demanded Kaijin. Maidoc turned to him, "We're under attack!" He called out. Back out there, the fight continued. "Take that and that!" shouted Dwight. Senan calls to him, "Don't fall behind!" There was more of them coming and one of them was about to attack Emmett from behind but is knocked out. Emmett was surprised, he glanced at the smug Taron. "What the hell?" He was about to ask, however Taron said: "You're welcome, by the way." There were more black cloaked figures coming so Itara gave them the smack down with her combat attack as she shouted, "GERONIMO!!!" But then, there was more coming and it was like a swarm was surrounded them. "This is so unnecessary!" groaned Dwight. It got very difficult but with teamwork and fighting the rest of the figures, Emmett and the others won. "We did it, yes we took 'em all down!" Emmett cheered between the breaths, but Shouta spoke up to clarify things, "Emmett, we took down the security. We need to get to the main lobby of this place." He explained. Emmett grinned excitedly, "Take down the Heathens, that was the official instructions." He reminded everyone. "Aren't the Heathens known for its most lethal member? Y'know the crazy-ass idiot one?" asked Dwight. Senan has a dark look on his face, "Looks like he's still around and he might be causing havoc." He said. Emmett shivered as he tried his best to look brave as he knew the task wasn't done but he wasn't sure about doing all of this. That's when Taron put a hand on Emmett's shoulder, "Hey, take down the Heathens right my friend?" He inquired. Emmett nodded, "Yeah. I did not come this far to die now." He said. "This won't end well." remarked Kaijin. Sure enough, he was right as they were apprehended! "Told you." He said later. Maidoc was irritated, "Shut up." He rasped. Emmett managed to speak into the communication device, " Onodera, we got 'em. The mission has been completed." He said. He heard his leader's voice speak to him: "Well done, I am impressed with your determination." Later, Maidoc, Acharon and the others were held prison at the base. Acharon, Maidoc and the others were presented before the leader, "Hello Heathens, you too Acharon." announced Onodera. The rest of Heathens are shocked to see Onodera is responsible but Acharon wasn't surprised as he replied back with a grin. “Onodera Buxton.” Onodera made a gesture with a hand as he said, "In the flesh, remember me?" He asked. He then begin to open up their pasts and once he finished, Onodera spoke out: "You should try to understand, even if your story is different from those of the characters above, even if you’ll never be any of these tragic heroes in these stories." Now the Heathens were tensing up, this guy knew their past lives. Things they wished to forget and now he has the nerve to bring this up! "What do you want, Onodera?" Maidoc asked in a biting voice. He sounded really mad. Onodera displayed a mischievous smile, "Tell me everything you know about the one called the Prowler King as well as one name Ms. Fury." He answered. “I don’t know anything. She goes by the name of other names.” Maidoc claimed. “I do! But I ain’t saying anything.” Acharon said, he breaks free as well as releasing Maidoc and his friends: Maidoc and the gang took down Emmett and his friends but were underestimated as they take down right back at them! Standing over them, Emmett and the gang glared down at them viciously. “Know this, Heathens; if you ever what to get your butts kicked, you know where to find us!” Emmett exclaimed. They then escaped while Maidoc and the others did too but they vowed to get them next time! Later on; Maidoc and the others sighed but Acharon reported that Ms. Fury is waiting upon Maidoc and the others. They hurried over to her office, it’s quiet for a moment as Ms. Fury’s back was facing them, then she spoke: “At first those bastards were a minor nuisance. That is why I entrusted you with their destruction. But because of your mishaps, they constantly interfere with my schemes to have someone like me to...run this world! That angers me. I will no longer tolerate failure. Destroy the Prowler King...OR ELSE!!!!!” exclaimed Ms. Fury. Maidoc and the others managed to reply with obedience. “Yes m'lady!” Soren said. “Uh huh!” Maidoc replied while nodding. “We promise.” Ainara said. “Yeah.” Rinon echoed. Ms. Fury smiled while nodded, “Good...” She said and turned away. Maidoc and his friends looked at each other, unmoving and glancing up at Ms. Fury. Just then, Ms. Fury’s voice startled the other teenagers: “WELL?! What do you want?!” Ainara spoke up, “Um, can we borrow that special weapon you have? Pretty please?” It was silent for a few seconds as Ms. Fury complied with the request, “Oh, okay, but I don't want so much as a SCRATCH on it when you're done! Got that? You understand?” As she said this, she tosses the keys to them and Niilo caught them. Niilo smirked while saying, “Thank you Ms. Fury.” Ms. Fury beamed at them: “You’re welcome kiddies, don’t mention this to Acharon ‘kay? Mockingbird will have my head!” Ms. Fury remarked. She let out a laugh. It started out low pitch, then a half sob, half laugh and it became high pitch of maniacal. For the time being; Maidoc and the gang were discussing about the Fury Family and the tragedy for Skinny Minnie. But Emmett encouraged everyone that everything will work out as they will find out more about the family and their aliases. “There can't be anything worse than having the Fury Family running amok.” Remarked Dwight. Just then, there was a loud tapping sound. And a familiar voice: “Knock, knock!” The door broke down, only about familiar figures approached. And Ainara’s voice rings out, “Hello, boys and girls. Perhaps you'd like to try kicking our posteriors now!” She and the gang leered down at Emmett and the gang’s faces that expressed shock upon it. “M—Ms. Fury sent you?” Emmett asked. The others nodded at his guess. “Things are a lot better every since we signed on with Ms. Fury.” Said Kaijin. “I like her style. Ms. Fury's a class act.” Niilo said. Maidoc replied, “Don't get me wrong, these guys give good payback. But they don't call me a good shot for nothing!” He beamed, “A real genius that one.” Chiara bragged: “I am one of the most powerful, hell we all are. Why shouldn't I be in charge? Any of us?”  They attacked Emmett but luckily he dodged them. Maidoc calls out in a taunting tone: “Where do you think you're going, Emmett?” Emmett pulled out his dagger as he is about to say, “I'm not going anywhere, but you're going -- aah! aah! Aah! ooh! aah!” He was saying this while avoiding the attacks however he calls out, “Lucy, we need you...now!” Lucy step forward as she stated: “I’m ready to play!” She leaps over and fights Chiara with a cry, “Hyah!” However Chiara said in a sing-song voice: “I GOT YA. LUCY.” Lucy turned her heel over and kicked Chiara down to the ground, “Yes, I got ya! yes, I did! Tada!” Lucy said while sneering. Hikaru called out, “Oh, you're breaking my heart, kids. Stand up to them like I would. If I were there. And if I had super powers and...Oh, for Pete's sakes, go back there and beat on them!” Chiara broke free from Lucy after she was knocked down by Ainara, “Aah!” screamed Lucy. Emmett cried out, “LUCY!” The Heathens were laughing evilly, madly as they try to attack Emmett again who ran off while shouting: “Whoa!” He then called out for Itata and Dwight, “Dwight, Itara, activate the defense grid!” Dwight nodded, “Affirmative!” Itara echoed behind him, “I'M BRINGING OUT THE BIG GUNS, BABY! Have a blast, suckers!” She fired a gun but it missed them and bounced away from them and towards Dwight and Itara. “Uh-oh.” Itara muttered. Dwight freaked out, “No! no, no! stop! aah!” He fell over as he groaned in pain. Emmett panicked while he gasps in fright as he heard Maidoc called out in mockery once again, “Come on, kiddies, you can do better than that. “Maidoc is about to take a swing at him when Shouta came to his defense. “HEY, HEATHENS, Bet you can't catch me!” called Shouta, he then cried out while laughing: “Whoo-hoo! whee, ya!” The Heathens were trying to avoid the pestering boy, “Stop that! uh!” Soren exclaimed. “Thanks for keeping him busy, Sho.” called Taron. Kaijin looked at his side, “What?” He exclaimed. Taron appeared while saying, “I'll take over from here!” He attacks at Kaijin while grunting and Kaijin shouted: “Aah! aah!” He fell backwards while Taron leered down at him. “Tell me when you've had enough! I don't have all day to smack you around, you know?” Taron exclaimed. Ainara and the others glared down at him: “Don't worry. We won't waste anymore of your time.” She remarked darkly. Taron was pinned down by Kaijin who jabbed at him: “Huh? Oh, yeah? Just try and hold me aren’t you?” Kaijin grinned at him, “Hold you?” He laughs. Kaijin held up the flames as Taron muttered, “Oh shit!” There was a slash and a burning sensation as Taron screamed in pain. Shouta looked around, “Emmett, do you have some sort of plan or -- aah! – something?” He asked. Maidoc smirked, “Yeah, Emmett, don't you have a plan or something?” He ridiculed. Emmett took shots but kept running and almost tripped as he let out a yelp, “Aah!” He continued to run. “Come back. we only want to play.” Rinon called. Emmett got behind glass windows with holes in them and used it as a shield. Maidoc hits on it but Emmett smiles at him while saying: “Sorry Heathens, bulletproof.” Maidoc pulled out his weapons while poising it at the holes, “Even better, Ounslow.” He said. He kept stabbing and stabbing but couldn’t get through. Emmett got out from the shield as he chuckles while saying, “Why, Mai, if I didn't know better, I'd say you're trying to kill us.” Maidoc brags saying, “We're finished, you and me! I got someone new now, someone better!” He sneers down at him. Emmett looks up to see Acharon and turned to Maidoc: “New guy, I assume?” He inquired. Maidoc simpers at him, “That's right! You're not jealous, are you boys and girls?” He turns and point over to Acharon, “That's him, Mockingbird!” Emmett looks up at him, “I know him…We’ve seen him around here. No, wait, don't tell me, don't tell me. Hmm. Isn’t that who I think it is? Acharon Kaiken? You work with him?” He said while chuckling. Maidoc got angry and took swings at Emmett, who dodged them while panting and grunting: “Whoa! Hyah! Huh, aah!” Soon, Maidoc’s friends helped him out by using some sort of technological appendages to put a good choke hold on him: “OH, OOH. Whoa!” He managed to gasp out, while his hands were bound together. “Well, well, well. Now that we've established who can kick whom in the ass, let's turn Emmett into a lobotomize vegetable.” Ainara said while grinning from ear to ear along with the others, laughing madly. They pulled out an electric cattle prod that was inching closer to Emmett, who stares in horror as he recalled being struck by lightning-electric rod as a child as he recalled that memory. “No, not that!” Emmett screamed. “Yes...that.” Maidoc said with gritted teeth into a grin so sinister it would give anyone chills. “No! you can't do this to me!” begged Emmett while struggling. “Oh, yes, we can.” Soren said. They were about to do the deed when all of a sudden, they were shocked to hear a voice behind them! 

“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!” A voice screamed. All heads turned and there was Mina Fury with her hair messy and her eyes were wild with insanity. Emmett choked out a gasp as he was released, “Mina…!” He said. Maidoc steps forward to explain: “Ms. Fury, we…we can explain!” nevertheless he was cut off mid sentence. “I said to fight them, not hurt them in the most traumatic fashion possible.” Mina said firmly. “But…Miss Fury…” Ainara protested however all jumped at the sound of Mina’s scream: “BUT NOTHING!!!! You all are my servants! My death squad but bring no death! You fight them, I keep them. More chaos, less death to my precious ones, you idiots!!!” Mina shouted. Emmett was frightened, he never knew the lovable friend they once knew turned into a maniacal bitch! Chiara got angry so she put her foot down. “Well, excuse us! We got carried away and you’re yelling at us! You know what? We’re done with you! We quit, finished! Done with you nagging at us!” Chiara yelled. Maidoc and the others left as well as Emmett and his friends fixed the damages that had been done. Mina is furious at this defeat as well as humiliation, she decides to take it upon herself of the ultimate revenge! Later, Maidoc and the others talked about their actions when they heard a knock at the door. Soren gets up and answers it. When Soren opened the door; he was shocked to see it was Ophelia Fury! Ophelia wore a belted overcoat with a checkered trim, a lavender top, a plaid shirt with an elastic waistband and back zipper. She wore a burgundy top hat that has a wire in the brim to hold its shape, the “7/13” price tag inserted into the hot pink ribbon hat band. She also wore thigh-high stockings and black high heeled vinyl boots with a golden trim and two rows of buttons. Her mascara was ringed in black mascara like some kind of ghoulish raccoon. Soren could only stare in horror as Ophelia pulls out an electric cattle prod and she shocked Soren. She then giggled to herself as well as her accomplices—Cindra, Marie and Pippa—were laughing with her. Shocked; Ainara angrily reaches out to Ophelia and before she can react, there’s a handcuff around the wrist. Ophelia quickly cuffs the other to her own wrist. Kaijin and Rinon try to escape with Chiara however they were ambushed by Cindra, Marie, and Pippa! They get them in a strangle hold and chokes them into unconsciousness. Soren gasped, “NO!!!!” He exclaimed. “I wouldn’t worry about them, they sure have some dark intentions overcome them.” Ophelia said in a whisper. Rinon looked up, “Why…? Why Ms. Fury? Why are you doing this?” He gasped. “To say we’re all mad here….Here’s to the Mad Hattress.” Ophelia said, holding her drink up while undressing Soren and she, too, undressed herself. Soren shut his eyes, trying to go further into another place. Later, Maidoc wait besides Soren who just unconscious and Yuya Nyack was talking with Hana Sawyer and Anita Newbury about the shocking things that happened. Maidoc couldn’t hear because it sounded hushed and inaudible. Once the conversation was over, Hana Sawyer and Anita Newbury left however Yyua approached Maidoc and peeks down at him whom he looks up in anxiousness.  “I must warn you, he was shocked by what he witnessed.” Warned Yuya. She then turned and walked away. Maidoc looked over at Soren’s unconscious body when Shingo Brendan was standing behind him. “The victim was discovered by Niilo in a state of indecency.” Reported Shingo. Maidoc turned around, “Indecency?” He asked. Shingo looked surprised at him, “No one told you? Pretty screwed up ain’t it?” He commented grimly. Maidoc nodded, “Could you leave us alone for a moment?” He asked. Shingo nodded and walked away while Maidoc sit next to him. “Soren…?” Maidoc whispered. Soren opened his eyes and realize what happen as he embraced his friend. “Maidoc, oh Maidoc! I remember….Ms. Fury….She….You didn’t see the look on her face…What is she going to do to our friends, Maidoc? What is going on inside Ms. Fury’s head?” demanded Soren. In the meantime; Ophelia appeared in an asylum jumpsuit with pink and black fastened buttons on the center front, two pockets with button flaps on each thigh of the outfit, the sleeves with a strap hanging from it with a metal pocket zipper, and three buckles across the chest. At this point; Ophelia puts his hands behind his back, she binds them with electrical tape. Before Rinon knew it, there it was, the tape wrapping taut around his wrists and becoming tighter as Ophelia twisted the tape around those near perfect oval shaped wrists of his. Kaijin tries to resist but Ophelia was stronger than him! She grabbed hold of Kaijin’s flailing arms and handcuffed them behind her. She looked at me with terror in her eyes. There was a metal chair, bolted to the floor. The boys were nearly thrown on to the chair. Their feet tied to the back legs of the chair, spreading their legs back and outwards. Kaijin was lead away by Ophelia, who came back to Rinon with a roll of tape and smiled at his appalled expression on his face. “Open wide,” She tells Rinon as she shoved the tape across his mouth, “No!” He tried to protest but it was too late as he cannot talk now. “Mmph, mmph!” He protests come out as Rinon quickly turns his head away, “Mmmph!!” he yells into the tape over his mouth. “Bad idea.” Ophelia said. "Mmph" was all he could reply. Rinon letting out those 'mmph' sounds from his tape gagged mouth. “Now, now, don’t you want to play? Just seeing you like this, I gotta say I’m just a sucker for pain. Now stay right there.” Ophelia said, and left. “Mmmmphh…. Rrrrrphhhh!!!” He moaned into the tape gag. Ophelia entered to find Kaijin glaring at her as she held the roll of tape in her hands. “You little witch, you won’t get away with this!” Kaijin exclaimed. “I can and I will, my dear friend but first, you need to shut up!” Ophelia directed. She tore off a few strips and put them over Kaijin’s mouth. He tried to resist, but all he could do was turn his head a little, but that didn’t help him much. “Nnnnphhh!!! Mmmm!!!” He said in muffled moans. “Don’t you like that? You know you do baby.” Ophelia said. “Mmmm…” Kaijin moaned. He writhed in his bonds at her touch. “You know, I’m feeling a turn on here, I like to see you boys all tied up. Same with girls too, gosh what is about the bound and gag? Ugh! Such frustration, should I continue with my rant?” Kaijin shook his head. “Nnnmm!” He whimpered while gagged. Ophelia nodded, “OK, good.” She said. Ophelia pulled out a knife, this horrified Kaijin who managed to squirm as he moaned, “Mmmph mm rrrphhh…Mmmphh, nnrrphh… mm…” Ophelia smirked at him, “Oh this? I just want to take a sample of your sweet and sour blood.” She said. “MMPHHH!!! RRPPHHMRRPHH!! Mmmph! Mmmph!” He yells from behind the ball gag, shaking his head repeatedly. “Don’t cha worry your head about it. It won’t HURT a bit,” Ophelia claimed. Kaijin screams behind his gag again as she brings it closer to his face. He then looks away, whimpering. The pain of the knife on the side of his neck but it was a big gash however he writhed in the bounded chair for a bit until Ophelia was finished. “All right, sweetie, time we move you to more comfortable quarters with Rinon,” Ophelia tells him.“Mmmph?” Kaijin asked in confusion. “Oh, you heard me. Let’s do something fun…” Ophelia claimed. “Mmmnn!!” Kaijin was all he could say, but he was being dragged away. There he saw Rinon in the same position as he was! “Mmmph-mmph, mmphy-mpph,” Rinon was whimpering. That’s when they both saw something that made them scared, Ophelia wielding a cattle prod with a sharp edge in her hand and her smile. The boys were terrified! Rinon and Kaijin both shriek into the gags of tape. “Aww, what’s the matter? Never had your first time? Well, today you’re going to be lucky. Who wants to be first? Kaijin?” Ophelia inquired seductively. Kaijin shakes his head violently, with an “Mmmn! Mmmn!” in protest. “Hmm? You’re right, you’re too tough but maybe…” She leered over to Rinon and said, “I guess you’re going to be first Rinon darling.” And smiled at him widely. “Mmmn-mmn! Mmmn! Mmmmnph! Mmmmmmmmph! Mmmmmmmph! Mmmmmmph!” Rinon shakes his head violently. “Uh uh, I make the rules. This is my game, let’s have fun shall we?” Ophelia taunted. “Mmmmmmmmph! Mmmmmmmph! Mmmmmmph!” Rinon shakes his head violently as she nearly got close as she used the cattle prod against the back of his skin and torture him so much. “Nnnn-mmmmph! Mmmmph!! MMMmmmphhh. MMMMmmmmphhh. MMMMMmmmmphhh.  Mmph, Mmph, Mmph, Mmph, Mmph. MMMMMMMmmmmmmphhh. Mmph, Mmph, Mmph, Mmph.  MMMMMMmmmmmmphhhh.” He thrusted again, while Ophelia continues to pierce it a little while she gasps in ecstasy and Rinon whimpers were muffled, “MMMMMMmmmmmmphhhh.” He faintly struggled while still his moans were being muffled: “Mmmmphh, mmmmphhh, mmmmphhh.” Once it was over, Rinon let his head drop. “OK, Kaijin, are you ready for the pain?” Ophelia whispered. Kaijin was terrified; he then could feel the excruciating pain from that dreadful cattle prod in his backside of his shoulders. He pulled and tugged repeatedly against his bonds, and thrust as he moaned loudly through the gag, “MMMMMMMMmmmmmmMMMMMMPhphhhh, MMmmph…MMmmph….MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.” Kaijin could feel the pain of it all as Ophelia was in ecstasy of it all in this room of pain and pleasure for one and the other two. “MMMMMMMmmmmm, MMmmph, MMmmph, MmmmmmmmMMMMM, MMMMMmmmmhh, mmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmmmm.” 
He lifted her head, tugged on his bonds, let out another angry grunt and then an angry moan, “MMMMMMmmmmmmphhh.” He tried to struggle a little bit and then it hit him so much, “MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmphh!!!!” He managed to grunt out as he was breathing heavily and Mmphing in his gag. Ophelia was enjoying herself but brought both of the chairs close but not too close as Ophelia said, “Why do it on each when I can do both?”  She grinned at their terror as she used another cattle prod with the same sharp edge and did on both of the boys who were muffling by the torture she was inflicting upon them, “MMMMmmmmm, mmphmmphmmph, MMMMmmmhh. MMMMmmmm.” They were saying, “MMMMMMMmmmmmmmhhh, MMMMMMMMmmmmmmhhh.” The two of them whimpered but it was subdued by the tape gag. They attempted to pulled and tugged hard to get free to no avail.  In another room next to the torture chamber; Ainara and Chiara were strapped to a pair of beds, they were pinned down while their headphones are glued to her ears and their arms are strapped as they were forced to listen to the bound and gagged while tortured by Ophelia. Ainara and Chiara screamed in pain by these footage images being played over and over again through the headphones! It was all a blur, it kept going on and on! But they don’t know how long they’ve been there however Kaijin felt the tape removed from his mouth and he was shaken all over, he saw his bounds were removed. He glanced over at Rinon, who had his gag removed as well as his bounds too. They both were quivering and dazed but heard a soft voice almost like a whisper. “Rinon? Kaijin? Are you OK?” Taron’s hushed voice asked. Kaijin and Rinon looked up, Kaijin staggered up to his feet. “Oh god…Oh god…!” He managed to say but he falls to his knees. Taron patted his back, “It’s all right, it’s over.” He assured them. Rinon wiped his eyes from the tears, “She bound and gagged us…tortured us and….Where is she?” He managed to say. Taron looked guilty, “We don’t know, she’s gone.” He replied. The two of them looked up in horror, “What?” Kaijin managed to say. “Don’t worry, we’ll find them. Promise you we will.” Taron said, he helps them both up and Dwight & Itara came to carry Rinon out while Taron escorted Kaijin out. At the same time, Ainara was carried out by Helena and Chiara was carried out by Lucy. Emmett watch as Maidoc and Niilo came to aid their friends, he was clenching his hand into a fist. It was a revenge ploy caused by the Fury sisters after Chiara told her off and how she and the others quit on her! Alas, they were all safe. Afterwards, Emmett went to see Maidoc and found him alone in front of a TV. Maidoc watched the footage of the episode of Skinny Minnie’s Dollhouse, where Maidoc is surprised to see himself, his comrades whom they were friends, Emmett and his friends too. But it seemed like they’d forgotten about each other! Emmett was beside him, watching the footage and it was quiet until Emmett spoke up: “So, we’d knew each other…Long ago huh.” Maidoc nodded, “Yeah, I guess we did.” He confirmed. “How could we forget? We’d promised to be friends forever with her…Didn’t we?” Emmett muttered. Maidoc glanced at him in shock, “You…remember?” He inquired. Emmett didn’t glance at him, he kept watching the footage. Maidoc look away from him and watched the episode. “You are so broken, Maidoc.” Remarked Emmett. Maidoc smiled grimly, “So are you.” He stated. Emmett said, “Ms. Fury is guarantee to run this town, and we’ll be the ones to catch her. I’d paid to see that.” Maidoc nodded feebly, “Me too.” He agreed. There was a video that shows Ophelia had recorded of the torture she caused: Ophelia puts his hands behind his back, she binds them with electrical tape. Before Rinon knew it, there it was, the tape wrapping taut around his wrists and becoming tighter as Ophelia twisted the tape around those near perfect oval shaped wrists of his. Kaijin tries to resist but Ophelia was stronger than him! She grabbed hold of Kaijin’s flailing arms and handcuffed them behind her. She looked at me with terror in her eyes. There was a metal chair, bolted to the floor. The boys were nearly thrown on to the chair. Their feet tied to the back legs of the chair, spreading their legs back and outwards. Kaijin was lead away by Ophelia, who came back to Rinon with a roll of tape and smiled at his appalled expression on his face. “Open wide,” She tells Rinon as she shoved the tape across his mouth, “No!” He tried to protest but it was too late as he cannot talk now. “Mmph, mmph!” He protests come out as Rinon quickly turns his head away, “Mmmph!!” he yells into the tape over his mouth. “Bad idea.” Ophelia said. "Mmph" was all he could reply. Rinon letting out those 'mmph' sounds from his tape gagged mouth. “Now, now, don’t you want to play? Just seeing you like this, I gotta say I’m just a sucker for pain. Now stay right there.” Ophelia said, and left. “Mmmmphh…. Rrrrrphhhh!!!” He moaned into the tape gag. Ophelia entered to find Kaijin glaring at her as she held the roll of tape in her hands. “You little witch, you won’t get away with this!” Kaijin exclaimed. “I can and I will, my dear friend but first, you need to shut up!” Ophelia directed.

Such frustration, should I continue with my rant?” Kaijin shook his head. “Nnnmm!” He whimpered while gagged. Ophelia nodded, “OK, good.” She said. Ophelia pulled out a knife, this horrified Kaijin who managed to squirm as he moaned, “Mmmph mm rrrphhh…Mmmphh, nnrrphh… mm…” Ophelia smirked at him, “Oh this? I just want to take a sample of your sweet and sour blood.” She said. “MMPHHH!!! RRPPHHMRRPHH!! Mmmph! Mmmph!” He yells from behind the ball gag, shaking his head repeatedly. “Don’t cha worry your head about it. It won’t HURT a bit,” Ophelia claimed. Kaijin screams behind his gag again as she brings it closer to his face. He then looks away, whimpering. The pain of the knife on the side of his neck but it was a big gash however he writhed in the bounded chair for a bit until Ophelia was finished. “All right, sweetie, time we move you to more comfortable quarters with Rinon,” Ophelia tells him.“Mmmph?” Kaijin asked in confusion. “Oh, you heard me.

Mmmmmmph!” Rinon shakes his head violently as she nearly got close as she used the cattle prod against the back of his skin and torture him so much. “Nnnn-mmmmph! Mmmmph!! MMMmmmphhh. MMMMmmmmphhh. MMMMMmmmmphhh.  Mmph, Mmph, Mmph, Mmph, Mmph. MMMMMMMmmmmmmphhh. Mmph, Mmph, Mmph, Mmph.  MMMMMMmmmmmmphhhh.” He thrusted again, while Ophelia continues to pierce it a little while she gasps in ecstasy and Rinon whimpers were muffled, “MMMMMMmmmmmmphhhh.” He faintly struggled while still his moans were being muffled: “Mmmmphh, mmmmphhh, mmmmphhh.” Once it was over, Rinon let his head drop. “OK, Kaijin, are you ready for the pain?” Ophelia whispered.

He lifted her head, tugged on his bonds, let out another angry grunt and then an angry moan, “MMMMMMmmmmmmphhh.” He tried to struggle a little bit and then it hit him so much, “MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmphh!!!!” He managed to grunt out as he was breathing heavily and Mmphing in his gag. Ophelia was enjoying herself but brought both of the chairs close but not too close as Ophelia said, “Why do it on each when I can do both?”  She grinned at their terror as she used another cattle prod with the same sharp edge and did on both of the boys who were muffling by the torture she was inflicting upon them, “MMMMmmmmm, mmphmmphmmph, MMMMmmmhh. MMMMmmmm.” They were saying, “MMMMMMMmmmmmmmhhh, MMMMMMMMmmmmmmhhh.” The two of them whimpered but it was subdued by the tape gag. They attempted to pulled and tugged hard to get free to no avail. Upon seeing the footage; Onodera and Acharon formed a truce, where Emmett and his friends team up with Maidoc and his gang so they can catch Mina Fury and her sisters! The tape that filmed the footage is being labeled as ‘Tortured Boys’ and being held for investigation however one week later, the tape of the footage is missing and is undisclosed for now until they can retrieve it! It turns out that Juliet, Viola, Elaine, Rose and Muffy are fake names and it’s really done by Mina Fury and her sisters that they made up. There’s also a song playing that sounds like the Skinny Minnie theme song but the lyrics are different and the atmosphere of the song is darker and not so sweet anymore. The song goes like this: “Here comes Ms. Fury! Oh Ms. Fury, you’re guarantee to run this town! Ms. Fury requests the pleasure of your company so come on. Good heavens, Ms. Fury you’re beautiful! Hey Ms. Fury, can I make beauty stay if I take my own life? You are mine forever Ms. Fury! Ms. Fury!”

Chapter 5

Guren narrowed his eyes at Briar, “What do you know about me?” He queried.  Briar smiled, “Everything.” She said. Guren leered at her, “Oh yeah, like what? Tell me something you know about me.” He asked. Briar smiled, “Like…You try to play the aloof, cold hearted bastard but your intentions are good. You are one of the best but there is a few questions…How much do you care about your ‘family’? Your surrogate sons and daughters?...How much do you love Mahiru Hiragi?” She asked. Guren looked at her with a stunned expression, “What?” He questioned. Briar continued: “You loved her since childhood? Your first kiss right? And you also did something with more than just a kiss.” Shocked expressions all around, Guren was shaken in fear. “You don’t think I know your love for her, she came from a cruel family that she despised so passionately but she adored her little sister. I know it was Kureto that did the dirty deed, you didn’t do it. It was him, wasn’t it?” Briar ranted. “Shut up.” Guren said in a hushed tone however Briar proceeds to speak to, “She’s not really dead is she? She’s alive and she possesses you. And you’re letting her do this, why? Because you…love her. You still do, even the monster she’s become. Even before she became part of that weapon of yours, you told her that you still love her even if she had a demon within her body.” Guren thought he was going to bust a blood vessel in his brain, “What?!” He gasped. “You loved her but she did everything to be closer to you, she doesn’t want any man or woman to be near you. She wanted you all for herself; she never wanted Shinya or any other swooning girl to be near such a man like yourself. Your body, mind and soul are all hers.” Briar ranted, speaking on Guren’s fears and insecurities. Horrified by this; Guren had his hand on his Cursed Gear, “Tell me, Briar Devlin, you can read minds can’t you?” He said deeply. Briar grinned, “I can read everyone’s thoughts…Surprise!” She said. Everyone stared in shock but the silence broke by Shinya laughing. He regained himself saying, “Well, well. Who knew! She knows all our secrets. We’re exposed now.” Briar laughed with him, “Now, now. Your secrets are safe, I won’t tell anyone.” She reassured the others that looked very mortified however she added: “But I will say this, you guys care about each other. The reason why I’m saying this is because my friends and I are agents of Evermore.” Shocked expressions were around, except Guren and Shinya. “We know.” Guren said, “Solo told us.” Briar nodded, “I’d figured.” She replied. Then; Briar told them what was going on in DWC and the catastrophe however Yuu, Mika, Guren, Shinya, and the Shinoa Squad join the agents of Evermore. “I’ll have to warn you, this is not going to be easy. You do realize that right?” Briar asked. Yuu and the others smirked at her, before Yuu said: “Hey, we’ve dealt with worst.” He seemed so confident, Briar lent out her hand in a daring attempt to look sinister, “Very good Yuuchiro Hyakuya, welcome to my world.” She said dramatically. Yuu grinned, he shook her hand and the deal was struck. Guren then pulled Briar aside to tell her something. Briar was confused but was obedient. “Promise me one thing, Briar…when I’m not around, when we are out into war…that you will look after Yuu…Look after Shinoa…look after them all.” Guren whispered. Briar nodded, “I promise.” She said softly. In the meantime; Long pink hair was all a-flow as this young girl was unconscious but she wakes up to see someone carrying her. “Are you a human?” She asked. The figure turned to the pink haired girl, “Yes…You’re Krul Tepes aren’t you?” It was a young lady’s voice. “And you are?” Krul asked. “Katrina Salvatore of the agency, Glass Coffin, and I’m taking you away from the noble vampires.” The figure said. Krul stares at the human and looked around before she smiled at her. “Well, ‘Katrina’, you interest me…Take me to where you’re going. I’d like to see your world.” She answered. Katrina’s lips curled up gratefully. Later at some sort of gathering to have a welcoming event for Yuu and the others; Briar was talking with Chloe. “So that’s what happened?” Briar asked. “Yup, met Ferid Bathory and his gang. Damn, he is one tough and yet scary bastard.” Chloe replied. “Geez! I’m glad you and Mika got out of there.” Briar remarked, laughing. Chloe laughed with her, but she stops and asked: “So what’s up with those guys you got yourself into?” Briar shrugged, “Just some hell raisers, one sweetie. But they are good to be true, not bad but it’s two way. One side, they can’t stand each other and the other? They can’t live without each other. Sweet isn’t it?” She answered. “Looks like some two troublemakers, you know who I mean. You really can’t stand them.” Bonnie said. “Win win, reminds me of two other people.” Said Briary. “Really? That’s something.” Chloe replied. “Now if I can get Hyakuya and Kimizuki off my back, I can really find out what’s going on here.” Retorted Briar. “Of what?” Chloe asked. There was a crash, Yuu was on the ground drenched. Emily cringed, “Of this whole mystery with him.” She managed to say. Yuu looked around for his Cursed Gear when he saw someone handed to him and look up to see a young man standing over him. “Is this yours?” The young man asked. Yuu looked embarrassed as he managed to say: “Oh, um thanks.” The young man smiled kindly and handed it back to him while helping Yuu up, “No problem, my good man. You look frazzled.” He commented. Yuu was puzzled, “You talk funny.” He remarked. The young man said, “Sorry, pardon my accent.” Yuu was surprised, “Oh, is that it?” He asked. Kimizuki’s voice spoke up, “You really are an idiot aren’t you?” He was there beside him as well as Yoichi laughing nervously, Shinoa smiled and Mitsuba was annoyed. Yoichi assured the young man, “Forgive him, he was just confused. Nice to meet you, Mr.….” The young man introduced himself, “Taylor Timmons.” He said. Yuu also familiarize himself, “I’m Yuuchiro Hyakuya and these are my friends—Shinoa Hiragi, Mitsuba Sangu, Yoichi Saotome and Shiho Kimizuki.” He said. Shinoa smiled, “How do you do? You look pretty fine-looking for such a young man of your standards.” She said while shaking Taylor’s hand. Taylor’s face was red by that compliment, he was touched to hear this. “Thank you.” He managed to say. Just then, there’s a ruckus from downstairs; Taylor looks and sees that Ben accidentally knocked some plates on the floor whilst animatedly gesturing. “Friend of yours?” asked Yoichi. Ben inebriated and talking some sort of nonsense. “…This lady believes that the human brain is pink. If truth be told, it is grey.” Ben ranted while he seems to be intoxicated. “My good chap, I’ve seen a rat’s nest before…in a brain! Have you ever seen a human brain? It’s...GRAY!” Taylor smiled nervously, “That's Ben Hallows.” He said. Ben continues to ramble, “Grey…grey..grey like this shell here, I'm done hereeee!!!” He knocks glass over, startling others. Taylor continues, looking embarrassed despite looking very proud a little as his face was shamefully red. “Smartest person I’ve ever met. He’s the one who helped me save a friend of mine, as well. He got me out of the circus...I owe him everything.” He claimed. Mitsuba looked at him with a suspicious look on her face, “Is he always like that?” She asked. Taylor shook his head.  “No. He’s quite brilliant, really, just not so much of a person for talking to.....” He was about to say but Ben appeared beside him finishing his sentence, “....Other people.” Taylor was surprised to see his friend there, “Ben, how did you...” He started to say however Ben took notice of Yuu and his friends, “Who are you?” But he seemed to know: “You're the ‘cursed’ knights. Hanging with the demons lately?” He joked and laughed in a drunken manner while Yuu and his friends stare at him with skeptical looks on their faces. Then, Ben managed to speak again after guffawing like a maniac: “Maybe you should try this one.” He said, “The demon howls at the harvesting moon, if you understand my expression.” Shinoa smiled, “I'm afraid the only thing strange here is our impression of you, Mr. Shallow.” She joked. Ben looked annoyed as he corrected Shinoa with annoyance in his voice: “Hallows.” Taylor soothed Ben, “All right Ben, calm down.” Shinoa smiled while saying, “Your friend here talked very highly of you. And we are intrigued.” This caught both of their attention, Ben and Taylor exchanged glances with grins on their faces before turned back to them. “Would you like to join us?” He asked. Moments later; Ben was talking about scientific events with Yuu and the others, “Now, of course children, I can't inform you all the complete work but suffice it to say... Taylor and I stand upon the peak of generating life out of death.” He said. Mitsuba begin to speak up, “Um, Mr. Hallo...” But Ben intervened while he states, “Please, call me Benjamin.” Mitsuba sighed, “All right, Ben. I--Well, we find your insinuate more than a little disquieting.” She remarks. Ben raised an eyebrow and a smirk on his face, “Ooh. Gullible, are we little lassie?” He said. “No. Are you not afraid to challenge the ordinary succession?” Shinoa asked. Ben turned to his friend and partner, “Taylor, you have your say in this matter. What do you think?” Taylor voicing his concerns: “Yes it seemed impossible but it's rather improbably. You see, Ben dreams of a world filled with hope, instead of fear. A world where a mother who dies during childbirth can live to see her son when she is brought back to life, where an assassinated man can personally identify his killer. Where a paralyzed soldier with napalm implanted in his spine can be murdered, renovated, and then revive to walk again. The possibilities are endless...Life is beautiful, it changes the way we live our lives.” Ben raised his glass, “Well said, Mr. Timmons.” He said while downing his drink. The conversation continued until Taylor turned away for a moment to look at the piece of paper as Shinoa peeked over his shoulder, “What is that?” she asked. Taylor hid it, “N—nothing!” He tries to tuck it away but he wasn’t quick enough. “Let me see!” Shinoa said, seizing it with ease. Ben was shocked and angry as he called out, “Hand that back, right now!” Shinoa hopped and looped in circles while she said in an overly cheerful voice, “Oh wow! Would you look at this piece of artwork! How astounding!” She said. She was running from Ben, whom the latter was shouting: “Return it at once! Immediately!” He almost hit a pillar but caught himself and continued to chase her. Shinoa giggled while she stated, “You really are a man of science but designing something like this takes a steady hand to do it.” She was still running away but Ben did not lose sight as he yelled: “I said, return it now, you ingrate!” He pounced her to the wall, “Gotcha.” He said. Shinoa looked back and held her hands out, the paper with the anatomy was gone. Ben was shocked, “Where did you—What have you done to it?” He demanded. Just then, there was a voice. More than one, and that came from Yuu and the other four. “Whoa-ho-ho! Would you look at this! It’s an anatomy, is it really supposed to be like this?” Yuu asked. “Of course, that’s how the human body is supposed to be. But the way it’s drawn looks so precise. No smudge, it doesn’t look like an amateur art work or anything.” Mitsuba said. “Yeah, it’s almost like a watercolor, like you could touch it if it was real.” Yoichi agreed. “Very detailed. I couldn’t draw that.” Kimizuki said. “Oh come on, you could draw this good, Kimizuki!” Yuu claimed. “Shut up!” snapped Kimizuki. “No, he’s right. You could, if you wanted to.” Yoichi said. Kimizuki looked embarrassed by this comment. However, the anatomy sheet was lifted as the four saw Ben folding it and tucking it in his breast pocket of his jacket. He glared at the four: Yuu and Yoichi smiled nervously. Kimizuki seemed surprised while Mitsuba was awkward. “Um, that was…Nice.” Yuu managed to say. 

Ben just faked a smile before he walked away looking angry as he didn’t seem too thrilled by this humiliation! Ben stormed over to Shinoa, who looked innocently smug, and confronted her: “What do you think you’re doing?” He demanded. Shinoa glance at him, pretending to be clueless. “Now, now, is that anyway to talk to a girl like me?” Shinoa asked. “You really know how to provoke somebody do you think you’re better than everyone else? Do you?” snarled Ben. “Yes, I’m better than you and I have a right to provoke.” Shinoa teased. “Quit mocking me, I know you are no ordinary young lady. You are an incompetent, smart aleck.” Ben insulted. Shinoa looked away while she said, “Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say.” She was still smiling and glancing from him. “You must be a fallen angel that plummeted 30 feet of heights.” Ben taunted while laughing. Shinoa laughed with him as she said, “Oh, a fallen angel? I believe you should call me a clipped wings angel.” She skipped as she did a twirl with a mid-hop as she said, “See? I can’t fly too high!” She continued with her dramatic attitude, “Come my lord, heal my wings so I can soar just as an eagle can and free me from being caged in.” Taylor choked a laugh while Ben sighed and rolled his eyes in exasperation. Shinoa dropped the attitude and got serious, “But all joking aside, you have an amazing talent beyond anyone else’s reach. Nobody could surpass even if they want to. It’s almost like you are one man who is a silent fury which no torment could be tame. Maybe you could turn the tide of human existence if you are willing. However, be aware of the enemies that plan to use you because they are not full of good intentions.” She sounded intense after saying that. “All right know-it-all missy, who should I speak to that’s in charge around here?” asked Ben in an irritated, casual tone. Shinoa glance around and pointed, “See this lonely man there? That is Lieutenant Colonel Guren Ichinose.” She said. Ben and Taylor saw Guren was just sitting at the far side of the bar, resting his eyes. “So, that’s him.” Said Ben. “Talk to him if you wish but I must warn you two…” Shinoa said, she whirls around and she pointed at them, “…You will regret it.” She giggled as she trotted away. And so; Ben and Taylor approached the guy, Guren who was aware of this. Guren was the first spoke up: “Pardon me, I’m Ben Hallows and this is my assistant…” Taylor finished, “….Taylor Timmons.” However Guren speaks out harshly, “Go screw yourselves; it’s been a long day.” Ben smiled sardonically. “Hmm, a moody gent is he not?” He stated. “What do you want?” Guren snapped. “I can see you were resting your eyes. But I hope I wish to speak to you about one of the young ones of yours. Miss Shinoa.” Ben said in a biting tone. Guren noticed Shinoa just waving innocently, pretending to play it cool. “Don’t mind Shinoa. She may be an irritation doesn’t mean any harm.” Guren assured Ben. But Ben could only scoff at that statement. “Please! She’s an absurd young lady. She has no remorse and thinks she’s so high and mighty. But she isn’t. She’s a spoiled brat, cosseted by her own family.” Ben snapped. “Her family never gave her love, they only gave her was mistreatment and suffering.” Guren replied. Ben burst out laughing, not believing Guren “Her? Sure, sure. I’m having a hard time believing that. Like I’m having a hard time believing you’re a threat and most dangerous.” He managed to say. Guren was surprised before a smirk appeared on his face and he stood up. “All right, maybe it’s time you know fear than your arrogance.” claimed Guren. He then unleashed his form where he becomes a creature with a blue skull, a top hat and suit with a grin to the skull. The eyes glowed and everything went black for Ben and Taylor. They wake up in some sort of blur but managed to see they were in a chamber. There was a silhouette of a girl who stands in front of the boys while surrounded in a black and red colored glow. Ben's consciousness resides with Taylor's where the both saw this girl. “Who are you?” Ben asked. The girl turns around and smiles. She laughed, “Don’t underestimate my darling Guren. You won’t come any near to him for heis mine.” Said the girl. Inching closer to them, the girl said: “You look good enough to posses. May I?” She leaned over and tries to incline her head towards Ben. Her lips parted as she look like she was going to reap Ben, however the girl heard Guren call out: “That’s enough, Mahiru. Come back.” The vision faded as Ben and Taylor gasped while awake in reality. Guren turned to them with a sneer, “Now do you see?” He asked. Ben was impressed, he couldn’t help but laugh. He managed to say while Guren and Taylor stared at him, “Very good. I enjoyed that. That was electrifying!” Guren smiled, “Why thank you. I’m glad you’d like it.” He then sat back down and said, “Now gentleman, excuse me.” And he closed his eyes to rest. In the meantime as the gathering still proceeded; Sylver was looking over the balcony outside and saw how beautiful the moon was. Just then, she felt an arm around her waist. Sylver could hear a whisper in her ear, “I couldn’t help to notice you look rather ravishing. So pretty.” Sylver realized that superior British accent was the constable’s tone. “You—you—you are the Inspector!” Sylver whispered. The inspector shushed her, “Shh, don’t talk. Don’t speak, you’re too pretty so stay quiet or I’ll gut you and I don’t want to do it to such an innocent girl.” His mouth collarbone, resting his lips on the curved groove before moving up to her neck and soft smacking against the jugular area. Sylver felt so uncomfortable when she and Inspector Lovell jumped at the sound of a familiar voice in a low but demanding tone, “What the hell are you doing to her?!” The constable was so startled that he accidentally grazed his teeth and gave Sylver a love bite on her neck. Sylver gasped; she clutched her hand there where she could see in the window’s reflection that there was a black and blue bruise on her neck. She yelped and rushed away from the balcony. The inspector looked away, pretending he didn’t know what happened but saw Briar glared at him which frightened him, “I don’t know what you were doing her but if I see you do that to another girl like her, I’m going to kick your ass you shithead!” She warned. In a panic; Sylver flees and she begins to pray as she gasps for forgiveness! She can feel a sense of calm over her. As she was trying to catch her breath; Sylver felt a tap on her shoulder, she looked up to see a young man who was 24 years old, good-looking in a strange way, clean cut and tidy. His words come out in a staccato flow, dry and fast, inexplicably easy to listen to. He was in a waistcoat, trousers and a top hat. Next to him was another young man that looked at Sylver. “Pardon me, darling. Is something wrong?” The first one asked. “Who are you?” Sylver gasped. Just then, the monsters appeared while Sylver took them down violently! Ben was staring at Sylver, who seemed frightened and she managed to escape. Sylver felt the swelling twinge of fear in her gut as she overcame it as she sprinted. Ben and Taylor went after her! The monster chased Taylor as Sylver managed to rescue Taylor and use her gun to shoot down the monster. Taylor took notice of Sylver, “You…who are you?” He asked. Sylver ran again and hide in a dark room, she waited before she peeked out and thought she lost him. Just then, she heard a voice say: “Hello there, my pretty.” Sylver try to scream but she was knocked out. When she woke up, she heard a voice that said: “You’re awake, finally…” Sylver begins to have hyperventilation in her panic attack, “Oh god! You found me!” She managed to gasp out. Ben has a psychotic smile while Taylor has an unease smile. “Hello there.” Greeted Ben. “You’re B—Be—Ben Hallows!” stammered Sylver. Ben smirked at her, “My, you know me too well.” He seized her wrists as Sylver glanced away in terror, screaming! Ben realized he’s scaring her: “It’s all right, I won Sylver’t hurt you.” Sylver push his hands away while she was panicking, “No, don’t! Stay away!” She begged. Sylver backs away from the two, Ben takes her wrist and holds it back against the wall! Taylor is horrified at this sight. "LET GO OF ME!!!" Sylver shouted, managing to free her wrist from his grip. She kept beating her fists against him but she ends up burying her face in his chest. Sylver was horrified at herself however Ben embraces her. Sylver could hear his voice in her ear: "I will always be there for you and will never let you down even if it kills me almost. You can do whatever you want with me. You can use me, you can take adventure home you can take everything you own and you won’t care, just as long as you have me." Sylver knew she didn’t feel right trusting him but she links her hands around his neck. Ben ran his hand through her hair, “Nothing will ever harm you, I won’t let them.” He assured her. Sylver pulled away and looked up Ben, “Thanks.” She said. Sylver just smile, Ben faked a grin as well but Taylor was trying to be polite. Sylver begin to look around the body parts, not saying anything but a professor appeared to put a body in the room to study upon. He was wheeling in the gurney. Sylver looked over, “There’s a body in there.” She said. The professor looks at her, “Um, yes. It is.” He said. “I always want to see a dead body cut open.” Sylver remarked. The professor was startled, Dirge was puzzled by this and the others were rather shocked by that statement. The professor walked away who was scared by the strange girl and her eerie fascination, Sylver looked at the gurney of a corpse as she could see it was cut open and its organs. “Wow.” She said. “Yes, fascinating isn’t it?” Ben asked. Sylver looked it over, she turned to him and asks: “Can I touch it?” Ben and Taylor exchanged glances before Ben nods and give her gloves. Ravenna was surprised as Dirge was shocked to see a girl like Sylver to be fascinating in organs so Sylver put on the gloves and picked up with gloved hands holding the bleeding heart, Sylver examined it like a glowing ball of light. “It’s so beautiful, hard to believe this vascular muscle is the heart. But then again, it makes me feel better that humanity is not so different at all.” Sylver said in a dreamy tone. Ben and Taylor were shocked at her words. Ravenna glanced at her with an amazed tone and Dirge was enamored by the peculiar, fearless, and extraordinary girl holding a hear in her hands, as she found it darkly pleasurable. Sylver did not pay attention to the stares; she was too focused on the anatomy of real body parts. Sylver placed the heart down, she used her rubber gloved hands and fingers over the lungs as well as the stomach and the intestines. She traced her fingers over nerves, arteries, and veins while muttering things like: “Oooh…Oh, wow…Wow, so pretty…” Dirge was captivating with Sylver, he stared at her with lust in his eyes. He reached a hand towards Sylver to touch her but he felt himself shoved, Dirge looked up to see a woman in black with her sleeved arms around Sylver. The Fury sisters glared at the horror stricken Dirge. Only he, Taylor, and Ben could only stare in horror! Ravenna was confused by the strange yet horrified expressions on the boys’ faces. She looked and saw only four girls as well as a woman surrounding Sylver, who didn’t notice them. The next day; Sylver was wearing a skirted bikini, she was afraid of entering the water because it was cold. The beach water wasn’t sea salt kind, but more like a lake. However, Sylver never liked icy cold water but she forced herself anyway. She let out a yelp because it was so cold but she swam and she was babbling things to herself. But calms down when she noticed a creature stalking her. Sylver thought it was a human but as it got closer, it wasn’t. It was an Infestation! Sylver managed to get out of the water and walk away without making a scene but heard the Infestation  behind and it pounced on her while slashing her clothing. Sylver managed to hide herself when she heard a familiar voice calling her name and Sylver calls out: “Don’t come near me! My—my bathing suit is in pieces.” She hides again. Sylver try to conceal her nakedness as her arms were across her own chest, hands rubbing her biceps and she let out a gasp-like sigh. “Sylver, what happened?” Ben called out. “An Infestation attacked me, my swimsuit—it’s ruined!” There was a cushion plop and Sylver looked over to see a heavy weight towel there. Ben’s voice ring out again, “You can use that towel, for now at least.” Sylver nodded, she took the towel as she stammered while wrapping it around her small and thin body, “Th—thank you!” She makes sure the towel didn’t slip off. She heard commotion where Ben was trying to explain but the constable was talking with him and he mentioned something, something about a condition: “Let’s see…highly strung, inclined to flights of the imagination, classic circumstance of womanly frenzy. Inoperable, some say. I disagree.” Sylver keeps herself concealed and puts on her sandals as she walked over. “Is there a problem?” Upon hearing her melodic voice, the constable turned and his eyes looked like they were going to pop out. Sylver noticed the towel, “Oh so sorry about this but I have a wound on my back and I was attacked by an Infestation. I didn’t mean to be like this. This isn’t a problem yes?” She said. She wasn’t a foreigner but she said that ‘yes’ in a playful manner because she liked it. “We didn’t know miss, that’s awful.” The inspector’s partner claimed. Smiling; Sylver gussy up her hair, but her towel was slipping and yelped out of shock as she try to cover herself again. Ben and Taylor were looking away; the constable was very stunned as well as his partner and tries not to notice. Inspector Lovell couldn’t help to see the shining upon Sylver’s skin which was bathed and glowed while her wet, messy hair was radiant. “Dear lady, I do apologize. I didn’t know you were attacked.” The inspector managed to say however Sylver was forgiving. “It’s fine. If it makes you better, I’ll get out of here and get dress in a more clandestine area.” She proposed. The inspector nodded, “All right. Do…do forgive me.” He stammers. Sylver beamed, “Thanks! See you around sir. Have a nice day.” She trotted away. Ben and Taylor followed behind. While they were walking; “You saved us, Sylver.” Ben stated. Sylver look at him in surprise, “I did? Was that constable guy causing you trouble?” She inquired. “He’s always been suspicious around me. How irritating. Can you believe it?” Ben remarked. “Gee, I feel bad. I guess everyone must really love you.” Claimed Sylver. “’Love’. Come now.” Ben said while laughing a little. “No, really.  I like you.” Sylver said. Ben thought she was joking, “Oh please. You of all people, I mean…” He was saying but stopped when he saw Lily’s hurt expression. “I’m sorry.” He said in a soft tone. Sylver look like she was going to cry, “That was mean of you to say Ben. How could you say that?” She said. “I thought you were joking. I’m sorry. Come here, would you like me to carry you on my back?” Ben offered. Sylver shook her head, “I’m a big girl.” She said. Ben teased, “Oh really?” He picked her up from the ground and whirled her. Sylver giggled at this as she got on his back, “All right. I forgive you.” She said. Sylver’s arms wrapped around Ben’s neck, her towel was still wrapped around her but her bosom was pressed into Ben’s clothed back. “You’re the best, Ben.” Sylver whispered. She put her head against him but made sure her bosom was covered. Ben let out a low chuckle. Once again, Ben and Taylor had another demonstration! But this time, Sylver attended. As Ben rants, everyone was getting excited with chuckles and whispers. Dirge is the only one who was getting annoyed. He slammed his fist down on the railing, hard enough to startle everyone. “GET ON WITH IT!!!” He exclaimed. All felt silent, glares upon Dirge from others but he took no notice. In the shadows; Ophelia and her other four daughters glowered at him with rage. Sylver watch the demonstration begins but then there was a sound of a low monotone and then everything in the room suffered a power outing. The power turned back on. But everyone was shocked. Panic aroused while the Corruption sat and grinned at the screams of others who were terrified. 

Sylver walked to the back of the circus tent and gasped at the sight of the same acrobat girl staggering to her feet. She was cover in cuts and bleeding, Sylver helped the girl up while she was shouting: “Someone, help! Medic!” This got the attention of everyone. The trapeze girl, Ravenna Maccabee, was being treated for her injuries. As it turns out, Miss Maccabee was beaten and robbed. Luckily, the thieves didn’t take anything important. The ring master’s gold was stolen as well as other performer’s jewels and money was gone. Ravenna couldn’t stop thanking the beautiful, mysterious Sylver for saving her life. All Sylver could say was, “Anything to help someone in need.” At some point; Sylver noticed a superficial, spoiled young lady name Brianca who’s loaded for some suspicious reason. Sylver wondered how a mean and selfish girl like Brianca could have a lot of more money than she already did! Sylver decides to spy on Brianca, she quietly followed her to a shed in a backyard and saw her smoking some sort of drug. And Sylver listens in on the conversation. “Oh boys, I never felt richer. That was grand on your part for that freak show!” gushed Brianca. “Hey, don’t sweat it babe. Anything to help our girl.” A boy said who was a sleazy slacker who kept his eyes around Brianca’s chest. Disgusting pervert. The other who looked like a high school dropout as he said, “The circus was full of those riches, guess the freaks do get paid a lot.” Then, a third guy with a tough exterior chimed in, “Yeah but couldn’t get off nothin’ from the trapeze bitch. Shit, she’s putting up a better fight.” Brianca then said in a snobby yet dismissal tone, “Who cares! At least that flying mouse won’t be performing tonight will she?” Sylver’s jaw dropped at those words and the next words Brianca said next, “You have to admit—Trapeze Girl had it comin’ to her.” And she let out a laugh. Sylver was so appalled by how remorseless the four of them were. They were victim blaming and calling her rude things. They didn’t care how nice the Trapeze Girl Ravenna was so Sylver decides to teach them a lesson! One day in the meantime while Brianca was going shopping at the mall; Sylver approached to a surprised Brianca and she introduced herself, “Pardon me. I’m Sylver Eden.” Brianca brightened up. “I’m Brianca; it’s a pleasure to meet you.” She replied in an overly sweet voice. Sylver smiled, happy to know her charms are luring the spoiled princess. It seemed that Brianca never thought of herself would be discovered for what she did. Sylver and Brianca came across a creek, Brianca thought it was strange but went along with it. What Brianca didn’t know what Sylver was up to, Sylver was actually preparing for Brianca. To make it easier, Sylver gave her a makeover with melting acid disguised as liquid foundation that slow begin to burn Brianca’s skin. Later on, Yuu and his friends were walking out on a path when they stopped as they turned to see Yoichi stopped. “Hey Yoichi, what’s wrong?” Yuu asked. Yoichi glanced at his friends with a spooked expression, “Do you guys hear that?” He asked. “Hear what?” Kimizuki inquired. “It sounds like someone’s calling for help.” Yoichi insisted. The five listened and they heard a wail, there was a figure that approached the five teenagers. Hair was then shaved, eyes blood shot, there was cracked epidermis upon the flesh, skinless limbs with exposed bones and muscles. Rancid pus oozed out of it, it was disgusting! “Help me! Please, someone! Help me!” screamed the thing. Yuu and his friends could stare in horror. For the time being; Sylver stopped by to see three guys who insult her and try to show aggression. In response, Sylver splashed melting acid all over them! After awhile; the trio escaped after waking up. They ran in different directions but Sylver calmly followed without running. She saw Yuu and his friends, she waves at them. Yuu smiled upon seeing her and greets her: “Hey, where were you?” Sylver just shrug, “Oh, I’ve been busy. I love to stay and chat but I gotta go.” She answered. And Sylver strolled away. Shinoa watched Sylver walked, she feels something was wrong. “C’mon you guys—let’s follow her.” She said. During that time; The first guy was shocked by his new appearance of a cracked torso, nearly melted limbs that exposed his skeletal parts of bones, and he bled a gallon of blood. He tries to clean up the red plasma and stop the bleeding, “Shit! The bitch cut me up so bad, why? What did I do to deserve this shit?!” demanded the guy. “Oh, I’m a bitch? Ooh, sounds harsh Earl. You should how much pain you put people through.” Sylver said. Earl whirled around, “You can’t prove anything to me you little puck bunny!” He claimed. “Maybe not but I saw you….you poisoned the food of an old woman name Marianne and you collected her fortune by pretending to be a relative. You didn’t give two shits about her. Or what about your sister Wanda? She mysteriously drowned; you beat your brother in law to death and collect their money. You didn’t care about anyone dear to you, right? They weren’t worth anything, you didn’t care for the consequences of your actions.” Sylver reminded. Earl could hear a growling sound, “What the hell is that?” he demanded. There was a monster with claws as it has sharp fangs and it was the most horrible thing. “Meet the Grim Reaper, and he’s here to give you the time of your life.” Sylver stated. Earl was terrified, “Please no.” He begged. Sylver replied in a chilling tone, “You can’t fly so high now can’t ya?” The creature chased a running Earl and killed him, while Sylver walked away however that smirk never left her face. What she didn’t notice was the shocked glances from Yuu, Mika and his friends’ expressions. Moments later; the second boy paced around as he was in the same state as Earl was. “How could that hussy do this to me? Why would she do this to me?” He was saying to himself like a crazy person. “Don’t sweat it Larry, anything to help my boy out.” Sylver remarked. Larry turned around with a fierce look on his face, “Fix me you little bitch!” He stipulated angrily. “You too? Wow, how charming. Was Molly a little bitch that you pulverized? Did you feel bad for hurting her? No, you thought she’d deserved it!” Sylver clarified. “She’s nothing, she’s my little gutter hook. She doesn’t mind the pain.” Claimed Larry. “Your gutter hook? You never felt richer in what you did to her. You have to admit, it was grand on my part to give you and your friends a little makeover. Guess freaks like you get paid from theft and fighting for your greedy needs.” Sylver answered, “It doesn’t matter now does it? You don’t care about Molly? Her loving sister? No, women are your tools and your punching bags when you get mad.” Just then, there was a guttural cry that scared Larry; Sylver sneered at Larry while the monster growled at the guy’s terrified glance, “Oh, look! My friend is here. He wants to rob that poor unfortunate soul of yours, I’ll leave you too alone. Toodles!” Sylver said. Larry tries to fight back against the thing but he wasn’t strong enough. Sylver’s face was plastered with a demented leer. Larry met his end, he didn’t stand a chance. She was strolling away as the smile looked wide and her face was edgy. “Whoa, did you see that?” Yoichi asked in a low voice to his friends. “I never seen her act like this.” Protested Yuu. “She’s not doing this out of pleasure; she must’ve done this out of some sort of reason by proxy.” Shinoa notified. Like his friends, the third one didn’t look as hot as he gazed at his own reflection. “Shit! I look like crap.” He commented. “You should, Jimmy. You’re repulsive inside and out.” Sylver replied. Jimmy saw her in the looking glass and turned to face her, “You did this to me! You ruined my image! How will chicks like me now when I’m like this?!” demanded Jimmy. Sylver took a camera out swiftly and snapped a picture, she put the camera down and leered at him, “Oh, I don’t know. I think all the females wanna a piece of your new look. Though I think the Trapeze Girl needs a little more convincing since what you and your friends did to her. You guys did really good huh, made Brianca even richer, didn’t ya?” Sylver said. Jimmy looked at her in shock, “What did you—how did you know that?” stammered Jimmy. “By the way, the Trapeze Girl’s name is Ravenna Maccabee.” Sylver added, “It really doesn’t matter to you but the ‘flying mouse’ has a name and all the other girls you hurt have names. No, wait! Why should you care if they have names? Why should you care if they are smart? Or have morals? Or where they came from? Is the best thing for a sleazebag like you to bed ‘em? Have you ever thought about what’s in a woman than her sex appeal? Her education? Nah, you want her mouth sewn shut while your little happy sack does all the work? Some man you are.” This made Jimmy grunted, “You speak of shit! Who are you to tell me about women? Women shouldn’t be promoted at businesses in life because they are you and attractive! They are a failure and should be in the kitchen, on their knees cleaning up for guys like us! Wear sexy clothes, wear makeup or a skirt. They deserve what’s coming to guys like us!” He declared. Sylver sighed, “Fine. I can’t changed your mind, I can’t even change your fate.” She stated. No soon than she spoken, the beast swooped in at Jimmy who was filled with panic. “Whoa, wait a second!” He protested. “Sorry Jimmy.” Sylver replied with a cold tone, “I wish I could save you but you deserve what’s coming to you. Just like Brianca, Earl and Larry.” She turned on her heel and walked off. Jimmy’s howl echoed throughout the forest. The money and other possessions stolen from others have been rightfully returned to the citizens. However, Briar and the others become suspicious by the justice Sylver display upon the four people and have to find out why she did it since she’s not mentioning it. Meanwhile; the inspector was frustrated looking over the indications that are leading him and the constable nowhere in this investigation. “This case is becoming a real troublesome for we have nothing towards Ben Hallows. We’re out of evidence, out of leads. Now what?” muttered Inspector Lovell. He was so frustrated that he slammed a fist down on the desk. “Sir? Are you all right?” His partner who was the constable asked. He looked at the constable however Inspector instructs, “Constable, go tell the driver I’m coming down.” Constable nodded, “Yes sir.” He replied. The constable went down in the elevator to the parking garage and found a navy blue vehicle. The constable knocked softly on the driver’s tinted windows, the windows rolled down slightly and the constable spoke to the unseen driver: “Excuse me, the constable is coming down. Please get the car started before he gets here.” The driver nods when the constable is hot from behind, knocked out. “Simple-minded human.” A voice remarked. A few moments later; Inspector Lovell got to the parking garage and came to the navy blue car as he got in. “Take me to the administrator office of the university.” He instructed in a firm tone. A child-like female’s voice piped up, “Sure thing hon.” The voice threw the constable off in a loop, the constable was sure something wasn’t right. “You’re not Linda, who are you?” He asked. He saw there was two women in the front seats of the car were different, it was Horn and Chess. “Sorry, the human is not available not anymore.” Horn said in a sneering tone. The inspector realized what was happening and he tried to open his side of the vehicle however the doors automatically locked. The vehicle sped away from the parking garage, the inspector felt trapped and felt the speed of the car increasing before stopping! “Who the blood hell are you?” He demanded. “Now, now, that’s not nice to say to the man who has come for a request….” The man said with a grin, showing his fangs. Moments later; the constable, Ferid and Crowley were seated in the vehicle. Lovell was massaging his forehead in annoyance, “Ah…what nice leathered seats you have here, human.” Purred Ferid. The constable wasn’t in the mood, “What do you want?” He demanded. Ferid turned and smiled at him, “I sense you and I are alike—only there are diverse qualities to be sure, like your down to earth, stiffness personality. But underneath it all, we want something to prove, am I correct?” He explained. The inspector didn’t turn his head. But his eyes glared at Ferid and he looked away. Crowley then added, “We understand you have troublemakers on your hands, we too have livestock that are known as the humans… Which brings us to our proposition.” This caught the attention of the inspector and he looks at them, “What do you have in mind?” He asked. “Start your investigation towards the Evermore Agency who has the enemy humans there.” Ferid declared. The inspector chuckles darkly, “You’re barking mad, all of you! What makes you think I can take down of these two groups as well as the world’s finest member of that agency when you cannot do it yourselves?” He said. Crowley glares over at him, “It would be too easy and they would catch us.” He remarked. He then smiles as he stated, “That’s why you could help us, because there is someone who is dying to see her.” Inspector Lovell suddenly became flustered as he accepts this in a jiffy but he utters out calmly, “Pull over. Now!” The car stopped and the inspector steps out, “I’ll do the investigation, but whoever you are referring to, I don’t want him or her to find me.” The inspector says, “Good day.” He shuts the door of the car and hurried away. Hayato watched him go and said to no one in particular, “Hm…gullible human.” The car sped away. Honestly, the constable could hear the same words repeated in his head: “…Someone is dying to see her!” The inspector thought that vampire was referring to ‘someone’ as in the Fury family. The inspector’s mind was racing, “Was that man referring to Rosemary?!” He recalled when he returns home when he called for his grandfather but there was no answer. Shadrick walked closer, there he discovered a horrifying sight! His grandfather’s corpse was discovered but his head was cut clean off with blood splatters all around. Standing there in the middle of the room, Young Shadrick was shocked to find a woman holding the head of his grandfather before Shadrick who screamed in terror! The woman was Ophelia; she smiled wickedly at Shadrick, “See to it, this is the crimes of the family…Your family against mine.” She said. That’s when the inspector has a mental breakdown and feared for the worst. In the meantime; Shinoa seems to be in a good mood for teasing the others in a light banter which Yuu smiles at how cheerful she was today on this very night. 

“You seem happier.” Yuu noted. Shinoa beamed at him, “I sure am. What an astounding week, a miracle that Rosemary, Pansy, Rue, and Collie aren’t here.” She said with confidence. “You’re not scared of Andrea and her family, are you?” Yuu asked. Shinoa laughed. “Me? No, she can try but I’m not too scared.” She bragged. But her smile faded when she saw someone standing there and approaching, it was none other than Rosemary Fury! “Aww what’s wrong? Did you miss me?” Rosemary steps forward while saying, “Did you really think that we’d left you for good? We have another game to play!” The Corruption appeared and attacked everyone. During that time; Pansy pulls out an electric cattle prod and knocks out Yoichi and Kimizuki. She carries them both with her psychic powers. She smirked in a sadistic way at the others. “Let them go, you witch!” exclaimed Briar. Shinoa tried to sneak attack however the Corruption apprehend her as well as Mitsuba! They knocked them out with their long nails in their skin, Andrea sneers as she stated: “We’re done here, so if you care to know where your friends are, come to the old facility around the corner and over the woods. Bye for now!” And she vanished as well as the others. Yuu and Mika worried for their ‘family’, despite the reassurance from Guren and Shinya, as Briar and the agents managed to find this abandoned facility and eventually found it as they hurried over to the location. Meanwhile at the abandoned building; Yoichi and Kimizuki were strapped to a chair, wrists were restrained on arm rests and legs shackled to feet of a chair. Rosemary smiled, “Isn’t it exciting? Seeing the terror upon Shinoa and Mitsuba’s faces? Oh you two wait and see, I have just begun darlings.” She said. “You sick little bitch, you’re not getting away with this!” Kimizuki protested. “Rude boy!” Pansy exclaimed. She uses her powers to punch them both in the gut hard that they coughed up blood. Pansy smiled, she licked the blood running from Kimizuki’s mouth while her arms are around him. “You taste good, sweet boy. She moaned. Rosemary agreed, “Yes sister but could our Human Teddy Bear taste good to?” She walked over to Yoichi, who looks scared, as Rosemary put a finger towards the blood and licks it. Yoichi shudders. But the MPD beeps, Rosemary and Pansy squealed: “Oooh, the show’s about to start!” and the screen turns on. Yoichi and Kimizuki were shocked by what they saw on the screen: Shinoa and Mitsuba strapped to two beds, they were pinned down while their eyes are pried open by specula, which prevents them from closing their eyes. The two girls were forced to watch the MPD playing the memory of Yoichi and Kimizuki who were bound and gagged while tortured by the instructions of Kureto Hiragi. Shinoa and Mitsuba screamed in pain by these footage images being played over and over again! While she and her sisters laughing like hyenas; Pansy glanced at the glaring Kimizuki, “Aww! Is somebody a little scared? You know, just seeing you like this, I gotta say I’m just a sucker for pain. Don’t you like that? You know you do baby.” She said, “You know, I’m feeling a turn on here, I like to see you boys all tied up. Same with girls too, gosh what is about the bound and gag? Ugh! Such frustration!” She and Rosemary laughed together, Pansy then shouts: “Come on, baby! Do it!” She gestured to her sister. But Rosemary gasps softly as she saw a vision of Briar and the team as she glances over at her sister with a sneer, “We got company.” She stated. Pansy sneered back as she chanted, “Kiddies, kiddies, kiddies.” There was a sound of something that broke! Pansy growled, “Stupid kids, you're ruining our girls’ night!” She rushed out of the room! Rosemary is about to leave but turns as she uses her telekinetic powers that punched the boys, they coughed up blood again and they were knocked unconscious. Rosemary blew a kiss, “See you later boys.” She said. And ran off! Rosemary and Pansy approached Briar, who used her powers but the sisters taunts saying, “So…Did you see what we did to your friends? Your darling friends, Yuu boy?” Yuu was shocked, he gets angry and tries to attack them! Just then, Rosemary dodged it and laughs while running off. Guren and his squad managed to find Shinoa and Mitsuba, who looked catatonic. The specula had been removed from the girls’ lids of their eyes; Shinoa saw Yuu as she let out an emotional relief of a sigh and embraced him. “Oh Yuu… I….” Shinoa sobbed. Yuu pats her back, “It’s OK, Shinoa.” He said. In the meantime; Sasha and Connie were releasing Yoichi from the restraints, they carried him out. Jean also released Kimizuki from the binding harnesses, he helped him out. “Aw man, Rosemary…That witch…” muttered Kimizuki under gritted teeth. “Snap out of it, Kimizuki. Or Rosemary will get her victory. Don’t give up now; think about your little sister Mirai. Please don’t give in.” Jean advised him. This caused Kimizuki to snap out of his shock. They all ran to where Rosemary and her sisters are being held, Briar uses her powers to find them and locates them. Briar uses her psychokinesis to break the ground down and up, Rosemary and Pansy jumped at the sound of a loud noise. All four sisters tipped over while yelping incoherently. Pansy looked at the cameras as she muttered, “What the hell?” Her eyes widened in horror and said, “Uh oh sister! They’re loose!” Rosemary growled in anger, “That’s not fair!” She and her sisters were about to flee when the doors burst open with a boom. Briar, her friends, Levi Squad, and Shinoa Squad stood there glaring at them. “It’s over, Rosemary!” Briar declared. With a hand clap; Rosemary summoned the Corruption and smiles, “It hasn’t begun Brie!” She said while spreading her arms out. With that, she and her sisters turned and ran out! Leaving Briar and the others to fend off against the Corruption. The gang overpowered the beasts before fleeing from sight. Shinoa and Mitsuba were recovering from the psychological torture as Briar, Yuu, Mika, Yoichi, Kimizuki, Narumi and the Levi Squad. Yuu offered to say he wants to stay with Shinoa as she claims that she’ll be all right and wants everyone to go after Rosemary. Shinoa looked up solemnly at everyone as she said in a chilling, demanding tone: “Bring me the Fury Family back here! I want them here, and I want them brought at my feet!” Yuu and the others nodded. However to make her point clear, Shinoa exclaimed: “You hear me?! At! My! Feet!!!”  Briar nodded, “You got it.” She confirmed. Briar and the others found the building to where she lured them at with her so called invitation. When they entered inside; Briar, Yuu, Mika, Yoichi, Kimizuki and Narumi were shocked to find Rosemary twirled around while singing softly, lost in her own world. But the words she was singing: “…He's talking to demons, he's saving humanity. Taking revenge for the family he lost. He's fighting vampires, he's losing control. Waiting for Mikaela, to pick him up. In his arrrrrrmmmmmmmms yeah! In his arrrrrrmmmmmmmms yeah! Waiting for Mikaela… To lift him up and take him anywhere. Show him his loyalty and eloping from the darkest forces. Save him now before it's too late now.” Briar and the others are shocked however Rosemary turned and she smiles big and wide. “Hiya boys, Briar. How else did you find me?” Rosemary asked with mock surprise. Briar walked over however she shrugged. “Just follow the trail of misery.” She stated. “Oooh, that’s a nice band name.” Rosemary said, “And now for my next trick…Stay there, Briar Devlin.” Briar kept walking, and she did not smirk. Yuu smirked. “Errrgh, shit!” cursed Rosemary. She then said, “OK, OK, you know what? Fine, I want you to promise me to look after Yuu, look after Shinoa, looks after them all Sleeping Beauty.” Briar stopped dead in her tracks, those words reminded her of what Guren said earlier. “You heard all of that?” She asked. Rosemary pretends to look sad but a smile crept upon her face. “I loved it! Surprise!” She exclaimed. Then; Rosemary turned and called, “Darling. Come in.” She said. Just then, a woman’s heels clicked against the pavement, it was Beauty! Beauty approach beside Rosemary, which she giggles as she said, “Allow me to introduce you to my lovely assistant.” Briar and the gang were shocked, “Who are you?” Narumi inquired. “Beauty. I serve my master for my purpose is his desires to bring life out of death.” Briar looked at her, “Life out of death? Who is your master? Victor Frankenstein? Igor Straussman?”  She asked. “That is none of your concern, my goal is to protect him.” Beauty answered. “Look, I don’t think neither of us care who you are or what you do. Or what your master is and what he does for a living…We’re only here to take down Rosemary and her family.” Briar stated. Just then, Rosemary’s voice sound different, “It doesn’t matter, I will continue to be superior. In no time, I will gather the remnants of this world and be on top of the food chain.” She claimed. The others are horrified but Beauty chuckled, “Mistress Rosemary, I’m sorry but that was a horrible impersonation.” She said. Rosemary scowled, “It’s not my fault she’s stuck in my head!” She protested. Briar looked at Rosemary in amazement. Yoichi, Kimizuki, Narumi and Mika gaped in disbelief. Yuu threw his hands up in disbelief, “She’s imitating Shinoa!” He exclaimed. “Heh, almost Yuu.” Yoichi declared meekly. Rosemary glares at the others, she turned to Beauty and commanded: “Beauty, dear? Would you do the honors?” As if on cue; Beauty strips off her blue pinstripe dress to reveal a white mini gown with short sleeves and the length of the dress reached her knees almost. Beauty crouch down into a squat, she let out a shaky gasp as she felt her body shuddered. Her spine protruded from her back, her fingers become claws and feet got sharper. Her sclera turns black while her pupils were amber. She bared her jagged teeth and snarled gently but furiously. Briar and the others gasped. “Oh my god! She’s a---a—an Infestation!” The guys back away in terror and prepared to attack if necessary to battle this girl. “My master has made me a servant, a protector and I will remove all obstacles in my path.” Beauty glanced over at Rosemary, “Mistress?” She asked. Rosemary nodded, “Go get ‘em, girl.” She declared. Beauty nodded as she pounced Yoichi, who looked terrified, she then cut a gash across his cheek and licked the bleeding wound. Yoichi whimpered in fear however Rosemary growled and kicked at Beauty in a fit of rage. She came beside Briar and the others while she said, “You’re all my toys, my playmates. But I’ll keep you safe, all of you.” Rosemary leaned in and kissed the side of Yuu’s face. Yuu pulled away, trying to catch his breath. It was at this point; Rosemary puts her arms around Yuu, Yoichi and Kimizuki while saying: “Yes, my playmates to be kept safe and sound…” She continued to say while she rubbed Yoichi’s back but eventually pinched it, “….But only I get to play and no one else gets to take ANY OF YOU OR BREAK MY TOYS!!!” The pinch caused Yoichi to cringe, “Ow.” He said. Rosemary grabbed both Yuu and Kimizuki’s chins, squeezing their cheeks. “But I’m the one to toy with my play thing.” Cooed Rosemary, “My boy toys, my Cherry Boys—I can pluck the ripest one. You can’t escape me sweetie.” Yuu and Kimizuki struggles while grunting. Rosemary smirked at Briar, who glares at her with retaliation and her telekinesis was about to go hay-wired. “I will save them, I will protect them.” She thought. However, Briar had a vision that made her smile and sneered down at Rosemary. “What’s so funny?” Rosemary asked. “It seems like your ripe little ‘Cherry Boys’ aren’t going to be pluck after all, you got yourself a relation visitor coming to join the party.” Briar remarked. Rosemary was confused, “What?” She asked. Just then, there was a shot sound and Rosemary let out a cry of pain as she released Yuu and Kimizuki from her grasp. Rory leaped and in instant she landed on her feet. She stood up as Briar noted out loud, “Rory Leigh, also known as the ‘Fastest Weapon Alive’. Advanced powers of speed and strength while also her reflexes are abnormal, compare to the average human.” The others looked at her while Rory smiled. “You mean she’s….not human?” Mika asked. “Superhuman to be exact, this chick can do some pretty kick ass things.” Replied Briar. Briar turned to Rory and echoed Rosemary’s words to her: ““Go get ‘em, girl.” She declared. Like a bat out of hell; Rory was swift by movement and took down Rosemary as well as Beauty. Rosemary was angry, she then screeched: “STOP INTERFERING SISTER!!!!” Rory didn’t reply, instead she was moving as her reflexes were undeniably quick. Superhuman advanced perhaps. Rory loaded her sniper rifle with bullets and aimed high at the Infestations before shooting down the crawling monsters. Boy, this girl was quick to be on her toes but they don’t call her the Perfect Sniper Assassin for nothing, despite being a teenage girl! “Damn, she’s good! Faster than any other wild feline on an adrenaline rush. Who the hell is this girl? Who found her, anyway? A Good Samaritan?” thought Briar. Rory Leigh continues to help her and the others fight the monsters while also Rosemary’s wrath! Once she has defeated Rosemary onto the ground; Rory wrote down something for only Rosemary to read in a jiffy, “I’ll never let you win, Rosie. NEVER!!” Rosemary screamed and then swiftly pounced upon Yuu and Narumi as she sneered down at them which they found out they were over a ditch, “Well then…Looks like you’re going overboard…May you have the Rosary of Mary upon you!” She waved, “Bye bye…” Rosemary squeezed Yuu’s cheeks of his face while cooing, “…Cherry boy….” Before kicking him and Narumi, “…And Poseidon Boy!!!” Yuu and Narumi screamed as they fell in while everyone watches on in shock. Rosemary laughs however she didn’t hear a crash of bodies down which shocked her until she is pinned to the wall and groans in pain. She looks up and gasps, Eren sneers down at her. “Hello Rosemary.” He greets. Rosemary deeply sighs, “Hello Eren…I missed you.” She whispered. “Me too, I’m ready for what happen to my friends. Me and what you & your family did to everyone else!” Eren claimed. “Oooh, revenge yes! It’s turning me on!” Rosemary moaned. “Shut up!” Eren exclaims. He attacks however Rosemary dodges it. She places her hands around Eren from behind, “You’ll never beat me, darling.” She turned and ran off as the others chased after her but they found themselves in a room of statues that resembled the past lives of tragic events. The intercom turned on and no surprise, it was Rosemary’s voice: “Do you know the meaning of obsession? No? OK, let’s start! Obsession: Something that takes over your mind, then your life revolves around that certain and most import thing that gets to be that sort of addiction. You may wonder if my life was a sham, no it was not. But full of pain? Oh yes indeed. No pun intended. What matters to me are that I’m in desperate need for live and affection. Something I longed for, so empty and yet I’m feeling very selfish. I don’t really care how people feel towards me or my family. You see, Pansy and I—even our beloved family—want something to fill that void. All was just average but this extraordinary change can be intimidating and nauseating with all that gore of the remorseless. I mean, buckets of blood. Gallons of organs, it can be so friggin’ tedious so what we need is something to fill that emptiness. It’s such a comfort to know there is so much more to this passive life. Don’t you see? You are the whole world to the Fury family. We want you so badly to put our names on our ‘toys’ that need our most undying protection! All I want is for you to love each and every one of us from minute to minute…I can treat you the way I want to, not the pretend way but whatever you do don’t think too much! We are unable to control the thoughts of ourselves. We never wanted to be addicted to you people but happens and we want your undivided attention. We don’t want to be ‘in love’, if you prefer to call it that, nevertheless there is some sort of charm. A precious gem glowing that’ll hurt anyone’s eye from the beauty of it all. I don’t know but I can see it in your eyes. Your thoughts. Everything about what you are today: Momma killed by a Titan, Sister forced by a Nazi-like leader to become a living weapon, sister was murdered by a vampire, friends murdered in cinema pictures for no reason or is there something to it?” Rosemary talked while Briar and the others fought the Infestations! Rosemary continued, “Maybe it was a cruel act of savagery. My point is…” Behind Briar, Rosemary held a knife and stabbed her in the back and Briar fell on the ground. “…This whole world can make someone like me go insane.” Eren, Yuu and the others try to attack but Briar signaled them to not strike as she takes the pain, waiting for the right moment. Rosemary continued to beat Briar as she proceed to talk, “You don’t know the cruelty of life or why people become cynical by all this…I mean do you ever think about 260 people that were injured and three were killed when two bombs went off near the finish line at an annual running marathon? Underneath our image of social cohesion – we’re ‘savages’, barely even human at times – that are capable of horrific actions. We attempt to differ ourselves from the animal kingdom with social customs, clothing, but these are just facades .Underneath all the social rules and customs we’ve created, underneath the rational brain and civilizations, we’re no different from the other animals guided purely by instinct, the 'savages'…After all that, I need to know one original thing, HOW COME YOU HAVEN’T LOST YOUR MIND?! WHY HAVEN’T YOU SNAPPED?!” Rosemary raised her foot up to stomp on Briar but unfortunate, Briar caught her foot and twist it as Rosemary was thrown backwards. “Because I snapped once and let me tell you, it wasn’t fun…At all.” Briar declared. Rosemary tries to assault Briar again but Briar uses her powers. “I spoke to Shinoa earlier, she wants you and your sisters brought back to Evermore at her feet. And that’s why we’re here—to take you down. Here’s something you to know, since what you did to her and Mitsuba; she’s one of the most logic people I’ve known. Not everyone snaps all the time…Maybe…You’re wrong.” Briar said. In anger; Rosemary growled and try to use her powers to break her but Briar instead used her own abilities and she banged Rosemary against the wall harder when the wall crumbled and Rosemary plunged into the wall! It was then Rosemary fell into a vat of blood with a splash. Much to everyone’s surprise; Briar dived in after and both of them re-emerged from the vat. Rosemary looked up in shock, “Wh—what?” She stammered. “Wh—Why?” Briar just simply smiled at her, “Easy. I gotcha.” She whispered. Rory was stunned as a smile appeared on her face. She then looked over to the others who could only stare in shock. Rory pretends to scowl before looking away with an ‘Hmph!’ while she turns away from the confused boys. Rory begins to smirked and giggled quietly. Briar carried Rosemary’s body; she was alive but knocked out. Briar wiped the blood stained hair from her face. “She’ll be fine; it’s just blood in those vats from behind that wallpaper there. The gang watched over the unconscious Rosemary when Yoichi reached over to touch Rosemary’s shoulder but Rosemary reacted by waking up and screaming, she begin to have a frightening breakdown and weep in such agony. She begins to hug herself into a fetal position that stunned everyone—even Briar! Only Rory wasn’t so shocked because she seen it before, instead she had a look of pity across her façade that was trying to look as serious but it was hard. Rosemary then hissed: “I will continue…Will you?” She smiled, the Corruption whisked her away as Briar and the others watched her go! 


Around in the late night of a 24 hour cafe; Justine Magnus is having cappuccino with her good friend name Rayna Hurst and was in the middle of a colorful story. “…And so I said to him, ‘Are you serious? That is so friggin’ scandalous! I love you man!’” said Justine. She and Rayna burst out laughing. “Did you really say that?” asked Rayna. “I sure as hell did, he laughed until he was in coughing fits. He said I was a comedian.” Rayna said. Rayna shakes her head, still chuckling slightly. “Man, I wish I had been there to see that.” She said. They toasted each other before drinking their cappuccinos. It was quiet for a moment before Rayna spoke up, “How are you holding up?” Justine placed her cup down and sighed, “Rayn…” She groaned. “Come on, you got better since….He’s no longer going to hurt you.” Rayna reminded. “I know that.” Justine said. Rayna looked at her friend with concern, “Aren’t you afraid of him?” She inquired. Justine shook her head, “No, I’m not but I really want to kick his ass when I do see him again.” She remarked. “Well, get it on video and sent it to me. I like to watch it over and over for a second time.” Rayna joked. Justine looked at her, “This isn’t an anime or a TV show you know that right?” She said. Rayna shrugged, “It’s also not a light novel or a radio talk show but hey, who am I to judge?” She retorted. Justine lean back in her chair, Rayna then said: “Oh, did you hear the latest news? The Agents of Evermore has a lot of ‘good freaks’, maybe I’ll be lucky enough to interview one. I haven’t said it on my radio show.” Justine looked at her, “Don’t call people ‘freaks’, people are just people.” She said. “OK, OK, fine. That’s insulting. But what else can you call them? Mutants? Weirdos? Outcasts?” Rayna suggested. “Does that make me one?” Justine remarked coldly. Rayna realized her mistake, she looked at her friend. “Justine, I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to…” She was trying to explain. Justine shook her head, “No, it’s fine. Don’t feel bad.” She assured her friend. Afterwards, her two friends departed ways as Justine was walking down the sidewalk of a busy street. CRASH went the window of the office door, that office door belonged to name Justine; the dark haired young woman with the black attire of a jacket, jeans, scarf, and combat boots. No smile on her face. At all. “Talk to me that way again and I’ll make you regret. Didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s impolite to talk to a young lady like me like that and gets away with it!” She said. The thug who was thrown out was scared out of his wits as he ran off. This was a day in a life for Justine; she works as a private investigator. She always got jackasses yelling at her and treats her like dirt. Bar fights from guys who want to take a swing at her. Drinking shots of whiskey and booze like any other girl does but she wasn’t an ordinary girl. Later, the metallic head above her sprayed sprouts of water on her bare skin, the blistering shock relax the tension in her muscles. Her black tresses soaked in the rain of the shower. Justine closed her curtains as her fingers danced in those cherry locks of hers, unknotting the tangles as she yelped quietly. Hands dragged a soapy louffa against her body, washing the soap that scrubbed all over and erasing traces of bad odor and gunk. She let the steaming rain caress her body while the coating of bubbles dissolves and rinsed away. Jennifer turn up the shower a little more hotter but she gasped at how hot it was against her skin. Her feet felt like they were on fire so she turned it down for a bit. It also prickled at her scar where she remembers about that memory made her pant for breath, made her gasp and she begins to pant her mantra over and over again: “You have no power over me, you have no power over me, you have no power over me….” The next day; Rayna was on the phone with Justine during her attendance at the parade. “Yeah, you should see it—it’s so beautiful.” There was a short pause before she continue, “Nah, nothing interesting yet but it’s OK. You should come by, take a break.” Another pause and Rayna said, “Ok, fine. I was just offering. All right, I gotta go—bye!” She hung up and participated in the crowd! Just then, Infestations attacked the parade as panic was around. Fragments from the balcony coming from above as Rayna could see the debris was about to crash onto her and tries to get up to hurry away but trips and falls. Rayna looks up as she felt her life flashing before her eyes, awaiting for her death to take her however it didn’t happen. She opened her eyes as she noticed she was all right. Rayna looked up to see a girl with telekinetic force that stopped the debris from falling. It was Lola Nikita! And she wasn’t alone; there was Mirajane, Elfman, Lisanna, Shuhei, Izuru, Momo, Kaede, Jean, Kimizuki, and Narumi! “No way!” gasped Rayna. Lola threw the debris away and glanced down at Hurst before saluting slightly with a smile as she and the others rescue everyone from the Infestations! Rayna could only stare up in amazement at Lola and the others, “Who is this girl?” She said, thinking she was saying this to herself. However a voice spoke up: “Ma’m, that’s Lola Nikita. She’s one of the agents of Evermore.” It was a man with a gray beard with hints of brown on it and wearing lumberjack clothes. Lola and the others took down the Infestations! On the radio later on; Lola heard Rayna say on the radio that caught her attention of these exact words: “There are people who are considered outcasts and freaks called Evermore Agency. They are a good kind, they save innocent lives but what are their true intentions? We’ll never know, all we can understand is they’re strange and adequate but so skillful and obscured from the outsiders in the city of DWC. Where did these allies come from? It’s all we want to know.” Lola was intrigued, “She wants to get to know us better? OK, I’d like that.” She muttered to herself. In the meantime, Rayna is driving in her car to a meeting. While driving; Rayna heard a voice around her car, “Rayna Hurst? I heard you want to know about the agents of Evermore. I’m here to help you with that, if you can give me a moment of your time.” It was Lola Nikita! Rayna remained calm while she spoke, “All right sure. So…where are you?” Lola spoke again, “Me? More like we…We’re uh…Uh ha ha. Hang on, one moment please.” Just then, Rayna could feel someone or something lifting her car off the street, Lola telekinetically lift the vehicle with Rayna inside to a secluded area! Lola told Rayna about everything about Evermore Agency, missions, and other stuff. “So, you travel to different worlds, like dimensions but not planets, and recruit those with supernatural intentions huh. Hmm, sounds reasonable.” Rayna remarked. “Understand this, Rayna….We’re only trying to help people.” Lola declared. Rayna nodded, “I know. But it doesn’t clear up on what your reasoning in this agency.” She said. Lola shrugged, “I got nothing.” She admitted in defeat. “These dimensions are part of some world tree, Norse mythology relations?” Rayna inquired. “Yeah, you could say that.” Lola said with a nod. Rayna smirked, “I don’t believe you.” She replied with skepticism. “You don’t believe me.” Lola said, it didn’t sound like a question. “I’m having a hard time trying to process on what you told me. The million dollar question for me is what’s your reason to work for this agency?” Rayna asked. Lola sighed deeply, “Personal reasons. Haunted by the trauma of the past. But that’s a story for another time.” She divulged. Once she finished speaking, Lola left so Rayna left. Just then, she was confronted and her eyes widened in horror! Moments later; Rayna’s wrists were bound behind her back and her feet were shackled while on the ground. “You’re making a big mistake, I’ll bet those agents of Evermore are on the way by now.” She bluffed. “Darling, if they did, they would appear by now.” Retorted Ferid. Rayna knew it was quiet and thought she heard the sound of a signal alarm. “All clear, take care of her.” Ferid instructed. Rene stood before Rayna, who struggled in her bounds, however she looks up and awaited as Rene was about to strike! However, there was a loud crash from above. Then, the sound of Rene’s gasp, Rayna opened her eyes and was stunned to see Lola and the gang once again saved her life! “Howdy boys, remember me?” taunted Lola in a cool tone. “You again? Take them all down!” Ferid commanded. Lola deflected their attacks as she shouted, “Guys, help me out! Free Rayna!” Jean listened and cut the bounds free, Rayna stared in incredulity. “Thanks.” She said. Jean nodded with a small grin. “Take cover!” commanded Narumi. Rayna did so, but she saw a lifeless body of a soldier with his Cursed Gear. She saw a hook hanging above her of a contraption so she had an idea! Rayna took the Cursed Gear and tied it to the hook of a hanging string and uses it to swing the Cursed Gear as it slays the minor vampires, who are now dust. Kimizuki and Narumi looked at Rayna in shock. “Thanks.” Kimizuki called with a grin. Rayna salutes casually, “Anytime.” She answered. Kimizuki could see Lola was attacked as she fell to the ground. Rayna was knocked off her feet and she looked up to see Ferid poised his weapon at Rayna and grinned menacingly. “So long, darling!” He taunted. Lola struggled to her feet, “Rayna…” She moaned with determination in her eyes. In one swoop; she and her friends rescued Rayna! Lola placed her down as Rayna managed to catch her breath. “Go, find someplace safe. We’re going to take down the vampires!” Lola instructed. She and the others were about to leave when Rayna called out, “Wait!” They stopped to turn to her as Rayna managed to say: “Be careful.” Sylvia smiled, “You got it!” She said with a nod. Rayna watched them go, she was smiling and walking to get to her car. She got in the car and drove to the radio station. She got on her radio show where she stated, “I know Lola would be there because she’s my hero.” After her radio show; Rayna stopped at a gas station that was run down when someone in black approaching her, “Hey, I want to ask you something lady. Is there a house nearby?” asked the stranger. Rayna looked at the guy puzzled as she stated, “There’s nothing nearby...Not for miles.” She said and turned her back to him but felt a weapon pointed at her, “Good...Then there will be no one to hear you scream.” It was Seishiro Hiragi! He grinned menacingly as Rayna stayed calm. “Doesn’t matter, Lola will always come for me anyway.” Rayna answered. “Foolish girl…” Seishiro remarked, he was about to attack but Rayna punched him hard in the mouth and ran off! Seishiro chased after her, Rayna was running when she tripped and almost slid down into a ravine. Just then, someone swooped over and rescued Rayna! Rayna looked up and saw Jean Kirstein with his Maneuver Gear who looks down at her. “I got you; I’m not going to let you go.” Jean said. Rayna was shocked, “You got me? Who’s got you?” She questioned. Jean grinned as he got Rayna to safety once again. “That was intense!” She remarked. “You have a knack for getting in trouble.” Kimizuki remarked. “You people have a knack for saving my life.” Rayna replied with a laugh. Just then, Corruption surprised attack until Lola & the others regrouped as they face them all! During this time; Rayna realized how dangerous the situation when she saw a rifle on the ground and picks it up. She endeavors her target. “Hurst squares off, she aims…She shoots!” Rayna mutters as she opens fires on two of the Corruption. Lola and the others are shocked up to this point, the look at Rayna who was smiling. “Double points, yes!” Rayna exclaimed. A Corruption came beside her as Rayna jumped with a gasped. Lola came to Rayna’s rescue and took the blow but saw the main leader of the Corruption and took him out as well as the others! “NO!” cried Pansy. “YES!” exclaimed Lola. Watching the victory upon Lola and the others; Pansy growled in defeat, “DRAT!” She yelled, “I hate you! But I also love you! And then, I hate you! I love you! I hate you! I love you! I hate you! I love you! I hate you! I love you! I hate you! I love you! I!!! HATE!!! YOU!!! ALL!!!” She ranted loudly. Lola, Jean, Kimizuki and Narumi exchanged looks towards each other. Mirajane laughs, “Oh, she hates us and loves us. That's so cute!” She said. “Perhaps, I do.” Pansy said calmly, “I may be ‘evil’ but I can be a ‘saint’ as well.” She then turns away as she said in a normal voice, “The others I hate are Kureto Hiragi, his father and Kureto’s arrogant brother Seishiro, Ferid Bathory, Crowley, Horn Skuld, Chess Belle, Lacus Welt, and Rene….they all deserved to suffer…” Then she was shaking and threw a fit. “I!!! WANT!!! THEIR!!!! HEAAAAAAADDDDDDDDSSSSSS!!!!” Pansy yelled.
