Chapter 4: How Much Does It Hurt? 

Kira is waiting for Sylvia, who means everything to her. Kira could see Sylvia and her gang are always the ones that rescue her all the time. Kira’s anxiety makes her keep looking out of the window that moment a taxi would drive away or stopped. She keeps herself in her apartment for awhile so she may avoid disappointment, it felt unhealthy for Kira however she didn’t know why she felt that way. Her times with her controlling, manipulative mother are cut but she cannot please herself. Kira always makes excuses to Sylvia’s whereabouts but all she thought this was a crazy fantasy of Sylvia spelling out her name in the clouds as she imagine she might be talking to supernatural beings in her spare time and commits a futile act of counting stars so that time could move quicker. She dissociates herself from reality at times; she’s getting herself involved with a new crowd of people who cause her further damage as she attempts to fill the empty void. Kira goes out into society to find her footing and see if Sylvia and her gang are hanging out & about in the city. It was a vast, urban town of darkness that people get lost in. She speculates that she’s living in a movie, wishing for her happy ending. Could Sylvia and the others share dreams like hers? Save her from danger no matter what? To care of her and shield her from those who would want to hurt her? These thoughts were making Sylvia as she shook her head away from this fantasy! Sylvia and her friends weren’t superheroes, they shouldn’t be placed on a pedestal so much for her and they couldn’t see the hurt upon her. Those people cannot always save her. Ever since that horrendous shriek; the agents set off to find Abigail and her daughters. During the battle against the Wendigos; Kanara carried the baseball bat, she runs around while humming to herself but stops when she heard Tsubaki approaching. She hides behind a tree and waited. It wasn’t until the Wendigos encircled him, Kanara smiled as she thought: “Perfect camouflage.” She watched the battle before Kanara swung the bat hard into Tsubaki who tumbled down a hill and slammed into a tree. Thankfully, Tsubaki survived as he was breathing heavily, he heard footsteps approached and Kanara’s maniacal laughter was coming further in Tsubaki’s direction. Tsubaki was horrified to see Kanara close by as she was three inches closer to him. Laughing ever so crazily while saying, “You should’ve seen yourself, hahahaha! You—you—you looked like out of a cartoon where they go flying! God, it was so hil—heeheehee—hilarious!” Tsubaki smirked at Kanara, “Yeah but unlike cartoons, there’s a lot of serious pain and blood. It’s not so funny no more isn’t it?” He remarked. As he said that, he cough and spat out a mouthful of blood. Kanara knelt beside him and licked the blood dripping from his chin, before pressing her mouth against his. Those pouty lips were sucking the blood during her kiss! Tsubaki then used his Nightmarcher form and pushed her off by striking her! Shocked by that surprise attack; Kanara glared down at Tsubaki, clutching her wound. “I was just tasting away your pain. You have to understand you and I are the same. We both have losses, why can’t you see that Tsubaki? It’s because of Edom Hiroki, right? I know you feel, ugh! Sometimes I just want to tie a cord on his sweaty ass of his and rip it off so hard that HIS ARTERIES AND VEINS WOULD POP ALONG WITH HIS ENTRAILS!!!” She ranted angrily. Tsubaki was shocked by the violent things from Kanara’s pouty palette pink lips she spat out! “You’re insane! What do you mean we’re the same?” He demanded. Kanara rubbed her thighs slowly as her hand slipped in between her legs. Tsubaki felt like a deer in headlights while the deranged girl tilt her face away, closed her eyes and moaned in a carnal manner. Her other hand was picking at her scab on the side of her legs as it was peeling off, Tsubaki was too terrified and swallowed back the nausea. He scrambled to his feet, and ran for his life! Kanara stopped what she was doing and thrashed in anger, “I WILL FIND YOU!!! I WILL!!!” She yelled. Tsubaki just kept on running and he didn’t look back! During the gathering; there were a lot of groups chattering in their conversations. Lily was talking with Ryker, Kamoku and their friends, they were chattering and laughing when Lily beamed with pride, “You guys are so grand! Betcha someone will do a book on you.” She gushed. Ryker, Kamoku and the others glanced at her funny. Then, Kamoku and Evan burst out laughing. Lily was rather shocked by this reaction but looked straight face at the two guffawing. “Can you imagine someone dong that ridiculous idea?” Kamoku asked, still chuckling. Lily also giggled back, “Yeah, cockamamie.” She agreed. Evan snickered, “Pretty hilarious just thinking about it.” He remarked. Lily laughed as she walked away shaking her head but once she was out of sight, she managed no one was around and pulled the journal from her coat pocket. It turns out she actually did write about them, she felt her eyes prickling with tears, “Ho ho and ha ha…To laugh it is.” Lily whispered. At that moment; she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see Emily gives her a sympathetic look and patted her head as she strolled away. Lily sauntered in the opposite direction slowly while sniffling and wiping her eyes. What she didn’t notice was Andrea’s sorrowful expression which turned to anger. Then, it got quiet as the announcer came to the microphone on stage with the envelope to reveal the winner. “And the winner is…Kira Morgan!” The announcer said in the microphone after tearing the envelope. Sylvia lets out a whoop as she and the others applaud while Kira walked towards the stage to accept her award. She smiled like a star in the sky with her teeth glimmering, she hugged the announcer warmly and thanked everyone. Then, she stepped off the stage but stop dead in her tracks to see there was a woman with aging lines and a disdained look on her face. She looked like a business woman. Sylvia begin to have uneasy feelings about this woman and glanced at Kira with concern. “Mom, what are you doing here?” Kira demanded. Her mother sneered down at her, “So you won an award…My award, I see. Hand it over!” She demanded. Kira kept the award at her side, away from her mother. “No, you don’t deserve this. You didn’t work hard like I did. I’m nothing more than your meal ticket for attention.” Kira said. She was about to walk away when Ms. Morgan reaches over to her while screaming, “LITTLE TRAMP!!!” Kira seized her mother’s wrist and twisted, making her mother winced while Kira said, “Don’t you dare touch me.” She lets her mother go who stumbles but Ms. Morgan glares at her, “You’re nothing but an attention stealing bitch!” She screamed. Kira looked back at her in disbelief, “Oh, I’m the attention stealer? I was forced to be star; you made me famous so you could steal my thunder!” She pointed out. Everyone gasped in horror by this shocking realization! Kira walked away while her mother cried out: “KIRA!!!!” 

But she walks away when she heard a click sound and looked up when she heard a clinging sound. Kira watched in horror as the chandelier was about to crash down upon her, but then it was levitated before it even reached her, Kira smiled with such relief. “Why is it that you are the one that always gets into trouble and we gotta be the ones to save your pretty little ass?” Sylvia said jokingly. Kira was rather amused, “Good to see you too Nyles.” She said. There was a masked figure with a gun in hand as this person cursed themselves for not taking down Kira! “Look, it’s the shooter!” Emmett pointed out to the masked gunslinger. The gunslinger tried to run away but Sylvia seized him. However; Sylvia realized she pulled off the mask and saw dark flowing tresses and black jumpsuit with no sleeves. “A girl? The shooter is a girl?” She exclaimed. Kira rushed over to the girl where she tries to fight her but the girl pulls out a knife and yells, “DON’T MOVE OR SHE DIES!!!” Kira looked scared however the girl was shoved out of the way. Kira fell to the floor where someone helped her up and she saw who it was before smiling again. “Can’t stay out of trouble now can ya?” retorted Tsubaki with a smirk. Kira laughed, “Not a chance.” She joked. However, Evan called out: “Hurry, she’s getting away! The shooter, come on!” Tsubaki glanced at Kira with an apologetic look however Kira motioned for him to join the others and Tsubaki nodded before hurrying behind. They found the girl on the roof where she climbed to the ledge and turned to Sylvia and the gang approaching! “I’ll jump!” The girl dared. Sylvia and the others stared in shock. “DON’T DO IT!!!” Dorothy begged. The girl only smirked at her, “I’ve got a choice.” She spread her arms out and free fall backwards. She looked like she would fall but then she was suspended into the air, much to her surprise. Then, the girl felt herself being lifted back up; she was shocked and disappointed at this. “You just can’t let me go, can’t ya? So persistent aren’t we?” She remarked. Sylvia tugged upward while saying as she lifted the girl back up, “Cut the sarcasm girly. Who sent you to try and kill Kira Morgan?” Sylvia said. The girl was suspended and upside down. “Sorry sweet cheeks, I ain’t saying a work.” She said. “C’mon, you seriously not gonna pull that shit are you?” Sylvia asked. “You want me to talk cheap and make me look a snitch huh li’l doll? ‘Kay, I’ll have to slither my way to the top.” The girl said, her eyes became serpentine. Snakes appeared from all different directions, Sylvia and the gang was terrified. The girl sneered, “My friends, you just found yourselves in the pit with the Snake Woman—the venomous Sparrow Cypher!” Sparrow let out a hiss while bearing her snake-like and lunged over at Sylvia and the others however they fought against her where Sparrow used her snakes and the battle proceeded when it left everyone all exhausted. Then; Sparrow peeled the clear looking fleshy bits; it was her dead skin she was shedding off! “Oh my god, is that…your skin?” Sylvia asked. Sparrow smiles at her, “They don’t call me the Snake Woman for nothin’. Shedding off the skin would give me cleaner, smoother skin—Make me feel sexier, am I right?” She teased towards Emmett and Jakov who looked rather wryly. Sylvia chuckled, “Ha-ha.” She remarked. Sparrow smiled but then her grin faded and sighed. “You beat me at my own game, somebody did sent me to ‘kill’ Kira but not really kill her.” Sparrow remarked. She lead them to where there was a construction site however Wendigos were approaching as Sylvia holds her weapon towards as she and the others were prepared for battle! “Hold it!” She commanded towards the monsters. But to her surprise; they looked scared and rushed away! “Well, that was easy!” remarked Jakov. “…Yeah.” Emmett agreed. Sylvia smirks at the retreating Wendigos, “That’s right you better run!” She called. She turned around and gasped to see a young man, she fired a shot but he deflects it with an arm cuff around his wrist. The guy squinted his eyes and then they widened. “You’re Sylvia Nyles.” The guy said in a realization tone. Sylvia was surprised however the guy suddenly pulled out a gun and points it at her as well as the others. “Say goodbye!” He said. Sylvia’s eyes widened however Sparrow came beside the mysterious guy, “You, you found them? Oh, you did!” Sparrow said. “Target sighted, Sparrow.” The guy remarked. “Oh yes, we got our target…” Sparrow agreed but she pointed her gun at the mysterious guy, “…Right here.” She replied darkly.”Stop, what are you doing?” Sylvia demanded. “Sparrow, what the hell kind of game are you playing here?” The guy said, glaring at her with a sideways glance. “Sorry Risko McVurich, I ain’t letting you do this.” Sparrow retorted. “You’re crazy!” Risko said. “Not as crazy as you think.” Quipped Sparrow with a smile. Just then, Wendigos appeared so Risko puts his murderous ploy away to help Sylvia and the others. Sylvia was knocked off her feet when she heard someone call out for her! “Stand up and fight, Agent Girl!” dared Sparrow, “SHOW NO MERCY, SYLVIA!!! GIVE THE FATALITY TO THESE SHITHEADS!!!” Sylvia was amazed so that gave her courage to fight back! She and the others managed to defeat the monsters but noticed that Risko had vanished from sight. Nevertheless; Sylvia received word that someone by the name of Paige was in danger as Sylvia and the gang hurried away to where the girl was. Once they were gone; Sparrow sat on the debris as she sneered at the lifeless corpses of the Wendigos who were in a heap. “Looks like Sylvia Nyles and her gang are victorious.” She muttered. Sparrow looked up at the sky, she smiled as a cobra cuddled next to her. Sparrow pets the Cobra, “We got much to learn from them, my sweet vipers.” She said. Meanwhile; a young lady name Paige Yashiro was walking down the streets where she thought she heard someone call her name. Paige turn around, she saw one in particular so she kept walking forward  but kept her guard up. “Paige! Paige…” The voice called. Just then, Paige felt fingers ensnarled on her shoulders and palms on top of her expose skin of her off the shoulder top Paige was wearing but she felt chills run up her spine and looked up  slowly to see a woman with untidy hair and piercing eyes looking into her soul. Scared out of her wits; Paige ran into a dark room of unknown place and hide, she felt around for a light switch but instead she felt a hand on her arm and the other on Paige’s mouth. Paige tries to struggle but a voice spoke calmly in her ear, “Calm down. Whatever you do, don’t make a sound or she’ll find you.” The hand dropped from Paige’s mouth. Paige whispered, “Who are you?” She turned around and saw a figure. It was Risko McVurich. His face was stoic as he said, “Just a guardian angel.” Moments later; Risko leads Paige to safety, “Come on, don’t stop now. Just keep running!” Risko said urgently. “Why--?” Paige stammered in confusion. They stopped at a dead end, Risko and Paige turned around to see Abigail Carroll hovering towards them. All of a sudden, Mora appeared alongside her mother! She had escaped from her prison, “Hi Paige! I see you’re doing well since your brother Mimis’s death.” Mora said in an overly sweet voice. Paige froze with terror, her twin brother was Mimis and was killed after the twins were kidnapped and tortured. “How did you know that?” Paige asked. “I know things, my sisters know as well as my mother.” Mora replied with a grin. Paige became scared, Risko clutched her closer and protected the girl from Mora. “Did those cops ever catched the guy? They must be ‘working’ so hard huh. THEY CAN’T HELP ANYONE BECAUSE THOSE STUPID COPS ARE LAZY!!! THEY THINK PEOPLE LIKE US AREN’T WORTH OUR TIME!!!” Mora taunted. Paige slowly slipped behind Risko and she is terrified that this girl is talking about her past! “Hello Mora.” A voice blurted out. Mora gasped as she whirled around to see Sylvia and her squad before her, staring down at the horrified Mora. “You’ve been out of your cell huh.” Sylvia remarked with a slight smile to her face. Mora grinned nervously, “Uh…No.” She lied weakly. “Mora…We came to check on your skinny ass and your cell bars were bent out of shape. You just left and here you are.” Sylvia noted. Abigail glares over at Sylvia with menace, it chilled Sylvia and the others to the bone. Paige called out: “Don’t scare them, they had nothing to do towards them…” But then, Paige felt pressure around her throat, she was nearly pulled towards Mora however Sylvia exclaimed: “Release the girl; she has nothing to do with it!” Paige cried out, “Help me!” Sylvia outstretches her palm and Paige felt her body glided over to Sylvia who carried her. “GIVE ME THE GIRL YOU BITCH!!!” Mora shouted. “You kidnap one girl before, I’m not letting you do it again Mora!” Sylvia screamed, holding Paige close. Paige shields her eyes as she turns away. “GIVE ME THE GIRL!!!” yelled Mora. “YOU CAN’T HAVE HER!!!” Sylvia hollered. “Help me get away from her! Please, don’t let me go!” Paige whimpered. Sylvia held her close, “I’ll never let go.” She said. Just then; Abigail said in a scary tone that echoes in the darkest room, “O children, Children….Children…I like children…I’ll send the ones who hurt them to their graves, sending them to hell!!! They cause children to suffer and they are the reason for these younglings’ depression! How they forgot about the abuse and hatred, the innocence is gone, and there’s only just cruelty! Nobody understood how it is to be lonely, to be like everyone else and in the crowd but how I as well as my daughters were teased, they pushed and pushed until we lost our sanity! They hated me! Laughed at us and becoming the butt of every joke! And now here I am, with my four daughters as we are about to tear the whole world down!” She lets out another shriek before disappearing. And once again, Risko makes another disappearing act while Paige becomes recruited into Sylvia’s group. 

Later; Sylvia was reading something and was smiling but she took glances at Tsubaki, who seems to be confused by her behavior. “Why are you so happy?” Tsubaki asked, looking rather suspicious. Sylvia hands him the letter, “You just got yourself a fan, Sajuro.” She remarked with a grin. Tsubaki took the letter from her and read it: “Dear Tsubasa Sanjuro, I’ve sent you this note to let you know how much I admired you. I like the way you moved my world with you presence. I assure you I send you this letter in a respectful matter as you are an amazing person and a source of inspiration for myself. Keep up the good work, my dear boy. Signed, your darling admirer. P.S. I’ll be watching you.” After reading that letter; Tsubaki was feeling a little unsettled but wrote it off as a joke, “Heh! And here I thought she would be stalking me but this is too weird. Maybe my darling admirer will bring me a pig’s head.” Sylvia giggled, “Yeah and maybe some sweet poems.” She said. In the meantime; Kanara Yuzef was dressed in a green corset bustier with deep green flicked ivy print attached to the bodice and adjustable halter straps. The bust has cinched tulle cups, deep green trim as it has golden clasps down the front as well as an modifiable ribbon in the back of the corset. She has on a green tutu skirt with a matching satin hem trim as the skirt has an elastic waistband and a green overlay. Kanara had on sheer tights with a green wrapping vine on each leg from the ankle to above the knee. On her head was a green ivy crown as well as a die cut green vine mask with a ribbon tied in the back. In her hand was a hard of glass and a crazed look on her face. Her pouty red lips were lined to make her mouth filled up. Her teeth gleamed with pride; she plucked flowers as she danced against the cool grass under feet. “Soon, Tsubasa. Soon…” She muttered. WHACK! “Ow!” Kira exclaimed. She and Sylvia were training in the ring when Sylvia had lifted her leg and hit Kira. Sylvia cringed, “Whoops, my bad!” She said. “The hell was that?” Kira demanded. Sylvia replied back, “Just a random drop kick, sorry.” She smiled a little. “You can’t do that, Sylvia! That breaks all the rules, you’re fighting dirty!” Kira scolded. Sylvia rolled her eyes, “Shut up Morgan! I said I was sorry!” She said. The two girls lightly banter with each other. At that time, a man with a sturdy built and seemed to be inexplicable. Lisha hands him a clipboard, “Here sir, sign here on the dotted line. Thank you.” She said sweetly. Back on the ring; Sylvia was sighing as she said, “OK, I’m taking a break. I’ll be back.” Once Sylvia was out of earshot; Kira noticed the man Lisha was next to and called out: “You sir! What’s your name?” The man replied back in an Australian accent, “Kurran Dainard.” Kira nodded, “Mr. Kurran, front and center please! CT? Get your ass over here, pronto!” She called. Kira left the ring and sat down with the others. “Got any reason for getting a complete stranger to fight CT?” asked Tsubaki. “I’m just trying to find a trainer.” Kira replied. “You’re an excellent fighter, why do you need a trainer?” inquired Kirsten. “I just want to prevent myself from kidnap or get in trouble all the time.” Kira replied. Everyone looked at her in shocked, Gladys looked at her: “Kira…” She whispered. “I feel like I’m a burden to you guys, and I want to get stronger.” Kira explained. “Oh Kira.” Kirsten replied. Kira then turned to Kurran in the ring and smiled over at him. “How do I spell your surname Kurran?” Kira asked, pulling out the Moneta. Kurran replied back, “D—A—I—N—A—R—D.” Evan glanced at Kira, “What? You’re gonna research him?” He asked. “Just looking into his background…” Kira said and was surprised after she typed in the results. “Oh ho-ho-ho! Wow, veteran as well as a boxer. Self defense, worked with his meat butcher father. Wow, awesome. I like.” Kira said. Then, there was a grunting sound that made Kira and the others look up. But boy, they were in for a big surprise! Kurran twisted CT’s knuckles and took him down, slamming him into wall. Everyone was shocked, “Holy cow!” Kirsten shouted. Dorothy and Lisha came to help CT, Kira smirked with amazement. “CT!” Lisha said sadly. “Not bad, Brass Knuckles Dainard.” Sylvia said. CT tries to look arrogant, “No, I slipped…” He claimed. “Aw yeah? Kurran Dainard just went whoop-ass on you my good friend.” Kira retorted. Later when Kurran left; Sylvia returned back, “What did I miss?” She asked. “Mr. Brass Knuckles whooped CT’s ass.” Jakov said dully. “Seriously? How did I miss that?” Sylvia asked. Later; Kira and the others were strolling in the city when Kira was pushed over her footing and fell on her stomach where she heard a tsk sound. Kira looked up to see a figure and spoke in a menacing tone with an Australian accent to boot, “Where is Sylvia Nyles?” He demanded. Sylvia heard the commotion and ran over but she froze in place when she heard that accent of the man demanding to know while saying the words, “I have a score to settle with that bitch!” Sylvia trembled in fear, “Th—th—that voice—No, it can’t be!” She whispered. She then ran over to step in between, “Stop this pandemonium, RIGHT NOW!!!” She screamed, “…Oscard Dainard…Ozzy.” Everyone is shocked by this but the young man—Ozzy—smirked back. “Hello Sylvia…Sylvie.” He replied. Then, Sylvia was levitated from the ground as her arms were above her head as she choked for breath, “I have the same powers as you, little lassie! I’ve waited a long time for this, to make you suffer like I had all my life!” shouted Ozzy. “Ozzy, please! We were both suffering; I have guilt upon me for not saving your mother…” Sylvia begged but then she was interrupted by a telekinetic jab at her sides as she gaped loudly and painfully. “Feel that, love? It’s your scar!  You remember how much he hurt you? Yeah, you pussy cat, squeal and gasp all you want but your apologies are meaningless.” Ozzy replied coldly. Sylvia was already starting to lose hope until a sense of an ‘angel’ swooped in and managed to save Sylvia from the madman Ozzy who was shocked by the sudden speed. Sylvia saw a glimpse of Risko, who looked at her with kindness in his eyes and land to the ground where he faces the shocked, scornful look on Ozzy’s face which he growled, “YOU BLOODY INGRATE!!!” He exclaimed. Risko glared back, “Enough Ozzy.” He said firmly. Sylvia looked up, “Risko…” She whispered. Risko nodded, “Easy, I got you.” He reassured her, setting her down gently. There was a loud cry of a banshee that scared everyone out of their wits but they knew who it was! “She’s here!” Kurran gasped. “Surprise mother-chuckers! I’M HERE, BTCHES!!!” Mora cried. “Mora!?” Ozzy cried. “Careful Oz, you too Kurt!” Mora scolded. Sylvia and the gang stared at Mora in disbelief. “Crap! She’s gone crazy!” Tsubaki claimed. “You’re telling me.” Remarked Evan. “But…” Ozzy protested. “BUT NOTHING!!! You, me and your daddy-kins had a deal! You catch the bird, I deal with her! NOT TRY AND KILLER YOU HOTHEADED DADDY’S BOY!!!! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A MISERABLE, WANNABE TOUGH GUY WHO HAS DADDY ISSUES! YOUR STUPID FATHER SHOULD’VE DIED INSTEAD OF YOUR MOMMY, YOU THINK YOU’RE A HOT SHOT? TRYING TO WIN THE APPORVAL OF YOUR POP? IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH, FACE THE FACTS!!!” Ozzy looked like he was going to cry, he didn’t want to hear this. Kurran looked pained as if the reason why his wife is dead and why her son is always like this. Just then, Mora felt someone gave her a slap across the face and fell to the ground. All fell silent while Mora clutched her cheek as she stared up at Kira, who looked pissed. “You are getting on my last nerve, Mora! I can’t stand you using people! Manipulate them and torture them while lacking remorse!” She screamed. Mora looked up with fear, she backs away while on the ground: “No, please! I give up! I—I—I surrender!” Mora pleaded. But it was all in act as she had something up her sleeve! “NOBODY MAKES A MOVE OR FIDO’S NECK BREAKS IN TWO!!” Mora said holding a dog helpless. Ozzy and Kurran were horrified, “THUMPER!!!” They cried. Kira was perplexed. “Thumper?” She muttered. “Those two…have a dog?” Sylvia thought. A revelation begins to overcome Sylvia and she used her powers to save Thumper the Dog before Mora could do anything to him! Once receiving his dog; Ozzy stared up at Sylvia with amazement, “You saved Thumper, thank you!” Oscard said tearfully. Sylvia sighed while looking away, “Drop it.” She said. “No, I mean it! I’d never hollered for help.” Ozzy insisted. “Come on, weren’t you gonna get payback? I deserve it.” Sylvia said. “No, I’ve changed my mind! After what you did, I…I…I…” Ozzy said stammering. But Kurran finished for him while petting Thumper who happily panted in his arms, “He forgives you.” Kurran looked rather apologetic as he claimed, “I’m sorry for all the trouble we caused you.” Kurran then nudged his son who realized what he must say, “I am…also sorry…” He whispered. Sylvia nodded, “You are forgiven.” She said. 

Just then, there was a scream and everyone turned. They ran over to a forest line where they saw soldiers being scorched alive! However, it got even more shocking when they saw Regina Halsing was the one responsible, she looked angry and rather vengeful. She looked angry like someone had made her angry of an insult or hurt her. Sylvia was surprised, she never seen her like this! Regina used her fire powers against the soldiers who were scared of her. “BURN INTO NOTHING!!!” shouted Regina. She looked like the Phoenix—if the Phoenix was human—with flames that resembled dark hellfire! Sylvia and the others were horrified at this sight. At that moment; Regina felt someone wrapped their arms around her; she turned around and saw Renee with tears in her eyes. “Please…stop…” Renee choked out between sobs. Regina realized what she was going and calmed the flames which they turned nothing but ashes as it all simmers down until it there weren’t any more. Sylvia turned to her friends who were shocked by this but not harmed as the flames did not reach them. Relieved; Sylvia turned and saw a young teen boy with dark hair, fair skin and looked pragmatic. He wore a striped buttoned up shirt with long sleeves, a vest with pockets, pinstriped black pants, matching ankle boots and a claw-like glove. The boy’s façade was blank, “Where did you come from?” Sylvia asked in surprise. The boy became tedious while he replied in a deadpanned tone: “From the graveyard, where else? Now piss off, butterface!” Sylvia and the others were shocked and rather taken aback by his attitude. Regina smiled apologetically, “Don’t mind him, this is Milenko Steele. You may call him Milan if you like; he doesn’t like his real name.” She explained. Then, Mora appeared as she beckoned Ozzy, “Step out of the shadows, I won’t bite.” She purred. Oscard was reluctant to approach but he does so. “What the hell? Stop him, grab him—hurry!” Emmett and Jakov seized Ozzy as Mora spoke, “Why are you here? It is because Sylvia led you all here to me? All who have faced me, you’ve earn my grace. Abigail’s revenge is complete as her retribuition will spread across the world and many other dimensions. It is all hers to divide and conquer.” She declared. “Love, I lost my mother but you can get her back, right?” Ozzy asked. His roughly like tough features softens, Mora grins at him with sympathy but her eyes did not meet her grin. “I can Ozzy, anything you want.” She cooed. Oscard looked at her, “Can you?” He asked. “Of course, always.” Mora confirmed. “No Ozzy, don’t do it boy!” Kurran said in a choked up voice. Ozzy let out a shaky breath while sniffling as they were watering and red. “I’d like that lass, but…there’s just one problem.” He remarked. “What’s that?” Mora asked with a confused expression. Then; Mora felt something as her face became sallow and pained. Ozzy had stabbed her in the hip and his eyes had tears streaming down his face. “YOU MESSED WITH MY MATES, BITCH!” He exclaimed. Ozzy drew the blade back as a stream of blood flew onto the pavement. Ozzy backed away to Sylvia and the others. Angry by the betrayal; Mora stamped her foot and her eyes were seeing red! “No one accommodates me and gets away with it, like some!” Mora claimed. She snapped her fingers and then a girl appeared in an off the shoulder top, a ruffled skirt and heels. Her hands were behind her back as she skipped forward. Tsubaki recognized the girl, “Kanara!” He gasped. “Hi Tsubaki, you remember me? I guess you do.” Kanara noted gleefully. Sylvia glanced at Tsubaki, “Do you know her?” She asked. “I’m so sorry I didn’t write back sooner, I thought those gifts would accountable for my sins. I mean, it’s the least I can do. I hope you did like the sweet little poems, the dead pig’s head, the monkey’s paw that I cut off…oh yeah and that friggin’ letter written in my own blood after picking at my chapped lips that one day.” Kanara ranted, looking rather unbalanced in the head. “What are you talking about…Wait, Kanara…You’re my secret admirer?!” Tsubaki asked, looking relatively petrified. “That’s right, babycakes. I’ve been at wit’s end and watching you and I know you and I are the same because of our losses…You see, before I was adopted by Stella, I lost my parents as well as my brother and sister.” Kanara explained. Her clothes turned into a purple and black tube top, matching pants with a waistband, and pointe shoes on her feet with heels. She also has a silver chained pendant with a violet ruby charm attached to it. Her mascara ran down her face and stained her cheeks which begin to resemble tattoos! Kanara had turn into a banshee as she exclaimed, “THOSE BASTARDS THAT RUINED MY LIFE AND DESTROYED MY CHILDHOOD WILL PAY!!! I WILL AVENGE MY FAMILY AND YOUR BELOVED SQUAD TOO, TSUBAKI!!!” Kanara begin to mutter, “Tsu…ba…sa…” Sylvia instructed everyone, “Crap! Scattered, she’s gone out of whack!” They ran for the hills and managed to get away however Regina was with them but that boy Milan was nowhere to be seen when suddenly he appeared and he wasn’t alone. There were dolls of inhuman kinds that were creepy and were alive as they scared Kanara away! Kanara had a fear of dolls, she hated them as she ran off. Renee was surprised by the reanimated dolls while Milan grinned in disdained and sadism. Sylvia sighed, she looked over at Regina who simply shrugged nervously. Later, Paige became a member of Sylvia’s group as well as Sparrow and Risko. Even Kurran and Ozzy did too. Paige stared at Evan for a moment before approaching him. “You’re Graham, right?” Paige asked in surprise. Evan glanced at her in confusion, “Uh yeah.” He replied. “I heard of another person with that name, she was in a subterranean area of a warehouse above. Her name was…Moya, yes that’s it! You know this girl name Moya?” Paige inquired. Evan felt his heart was about to burst from his chest, he had this excited look in his eyes. “That’s my sister!” He claimed. “Your sister? Oh my!” Paige gasped. “Which warehouse?” Where is it?” Tsubaki asked. “Warehouse 713.” Paige replied. In the meantime; Constable Lazarro and his partner Mistral Blake came across Warehouse 713. They enter inside and saw Artem as well as Jerome was waiting. “Payne…Sinclair.” The constable greeted stiffly. “Sir.” Jerome addressed timidly. “Gentlemen, welcome! So glad to see you all here, come in—come in!” Artem said in an overly cheery voice. The constable and his partner glanced at other as they entered inside the warehouse and shut the door behind them. The constable glanced around before looking over at Artem. “Where is she?” The constable demanded softly. “Right here.” Andrea’s voice ring out as she appeared from the stairs and curtsies. Jacindo snarls at her, “The witch arrives before us, the Daughter of Madame Anarchy.” He retorted. “And here I thought you were going to refer to my sisters and I as the daughters of the She Devil you prick.” Andrea rejoined darkly. “Save the insults, I must inform you that we’ve been searching for you and your ‘boy’ Mr. Payne here. And we have succeeded.” The constable notified. Andrea scoffs at him, “My boy?? He’s not a pet, Jacindo. He’s part of our family!” She said firmly. Jerome couldn’t but smile at Artem, but he saw that his dear friend looked rather troubled and concerned. “Family? This ‘family member’ of yours is nothing more than a devil worshipper! He has caused crimes against God and must be punished greatly.” The constable pointed out. “A devil worshipper? Have you ever heard of science? Surely, Artem never believed in God but in angels. We were the ‘angels’ in his life that inspired him to create life out of death. And also his family is in shambles. He went through trials, tribulations and tragic events in his life.” Andrea explained. Jerome was touched by Andrea’s perspective of Payne while Artem looked shameful. “Cease this torment, Daughter of Anarchy, you cannot protect Artem forever. He is still being hunted, as are you.” The constable reminded. “I am aware of it, I love a good chase Constable. How are you holding up? Have you…lost your head?” Andrea asked with a grin on her face, the constable looked increasingly uncomfortable but then it was cease when some sort of innocence emerged. “Andrea?” A timid voice called out. Andrea whirled around to see Moya standing before her. “Moya, what are you doing here sweetie? Go back down where the other children are.” Andrea said in a gently scolding tone in her voice. Moya walked over to her, “Andrea, when can I see my big brother?” She asked. “Soon baby, I told you that you would see Evan soon.” Andrea reminded. Moya felt tears spring in her eyes and she exclaimed: “You always say that!!!...Please, I miss him so much…I appreciate all you and your family did but I’m bored and I can’t do this anymore.” Mistral stepped forward with a smile, “Don’t worry love, we’ll find your brother and bring you back to him. Constable Lazarro and I will make sure of that.” He assured her. Moya looked at the glaring face of the constable, she looked at Jacindo Lazarro more closely as her eyes widened in horror, “You…You’re the constable…” She clutched her temples of her head, “No…No….No…No…No, NO I WON’T LET YOU!!!” Moya exclaimed as she turned into her Nightmarcher form. Her appearance shocked the four men in the room! Andrea tensed, “Shit!” She muttered. Just then, a voice exclaimed from above: “DON’T DO IT!!!” It was Renee who swung in with a rope and grabbed Moya; rescuing her. The constable screams, “THAT WITCH MUST BE BURN!!! SHE MUST SUFFER AND THE DEMON WITHIN HER MUST VANQUISH WHILE HER SOUL WILL BE DEPARTED TO HEAVEN!!!” He chased after Renee who galloped from trees to trees. Sylvia caught wind of Renee and saw Moya looking back in fear. Sylvia gasped, “RENEE SAVED YOUR SISTER!!! EVAN, COME ON!!!! WE HAVE TO HURRY!!!” She and the others ran but Evan ran ahead as he was determined to see his beloved sister and saw two dark shapes near a cabin. Renee had Moya in there perhaps, however Sylvia noticed someone else was there that made her heart dropped: Constable Lazarro was standing there and then, all at once; the cabin exploded! Evan screamed in terror: “MOYA!!!!” All were shocked by this as they glared at the constable who lacked remorse. “What have you done Constable Lazarro?” Sylvia demanded. “I did what the Lord told me, I must burn thy witch and send her to Hell.” The constable replied in an aloof tone. “You sick bastard!!! She was no withc, she was my sister! AND YOU MURDERED HER!!!” shouted Evan, lunging at him. “Hey Graham, look!” Tsubaki said, gesturing with his index finger. Evan glanced where he was pointing at and saw some sort of figure approaching Sylvia and the gang with something this person was carrying an object or someone. It was Renee carrying an unconscious Moya. Evan’s anger evaporated into amazement, Renee grinned hopefully yet shyly as she showed Moya alive and in one piece to Graham. “I believe this lovely lady is yours.” Renee said softly. Renee hands Evan his sister gingerly and Evan took his sister, he slowly sank to the floor. He cradled the unconscious Moya, Sylvia thought she saw a tear shed from Evan’s eyes. Moya’s eyes fluttered open and saw her brother. “B—big brother?” She whispered. “Sis?” Evan asked. Moya’s face broke into a grin, she embraced her older brother happily. “Evan!” Moya cried. Evan embraced her back, “Moya!” He exclaimed in joy. Sylvia and the gang smiled in content. Renee watched how Evan hugged Moya and felt her eyes welled up with tears. Teague put an arm around her, pulling her close in a gentle clinch. “You did good, Ren. I’m proud of you.” He whispered. Renee nodded silently and buried her face in Teague’s coat weeping. Just then, Renee felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see Moya standing there with a big smile on her face. “Um, miss? Thank you for saving my life, you were so brave! I don’t think I can thank you enough.” Moya said. Renee wiped her eyes as she smiled back at her. “You’re welcome kid, you deserve your happiness.” She replied. Sylvia was pleased to hear this, she beamed at those words. Unaware to anyone; Mora was watching with a sad glance in her eyes. “I’d like to join you, smile along with the rest and be part of this happiness. Alas, I cannot because of what I as well as my family did to you. I know I wouldn’t be accepted by any of you for I am a monster…and an enemy…” thought Mora. She could hear their euphoria of them, Mora put her hands over her ears as she trembled with sadness. She rocked back and forth not wanting to hear it but she could see it in her thoughts. “Why does my heart cry out for you?” Mora thought through her uncontrollably yet silent sobbing. She felt her powers were causing havoc but also created a sort of masterpiece. Sylvia and the gang could hear some noises as they rushed over. They didn’t find anyone but found a message written on the ground: “PLEASE ENJOY YOUR HAPPINESS.” Moya smiled in a heartfelt manner! Afterwards; Moya explains later about how she knew about Constable Lazarro because of his grandfather who was registered child predator that had forcibly assaulted many children and the same went with Gideon Sullivan’s grandfather! Moya also mentioned that Gideon was responsible for convincing as well as manipulating Artem and Jerome into the experimentation of the Wendigos. Why? Gideon wants an un-killable army, one million strong to take down Emily and everyone in New Americana.

For the time being; Sylvia begins to have a dream as well in her sleep: She saw Mora took Arlow by the wrists from behind and place his hands on the table palms down. Arlow's whole body erupts into a shivering wave of goose bumps as he feels a very delicate touch of fingers move from the top of his shoulders, across his neck onto the opposite shoulder and then down his back. His heart beat was racing now with dread. "O-o-o-oh" Mora was heaving and her face contorted with pleasure, her moans and whimpers start anew. Mora's body shimmies and she drives her cattle prod ruthlessly into his mouth. She feels his saliva and blood dripping onto her tongue and greedily gulp them down. She shivers with pleasure; Mora really loved the way Arlow writhed of his tightly bound body. Earlier, she had bound him tightly to the frame. He had screamed as he arches away from her cattle prod as he screamed in agony. She was whispering softly she stroked him occasionally just to keep him in agony. Mora loved the way his body twisted under her caress. Arlow grunted as the his flesh was in torment. His mind closed as he let the pain take him into his secret place and tormented him as he never imagined it could. Moments later; Arlow felt her next to him, cuddling and cooing, as she soothed his flesh with the scented oil. Her hands were gentle now. As she held him, his tears slowly stopped, Arlow's breathing slowed. Andrea smiled but out of the corner of her eye, she saw two retreating figures. Mora smiled and said to Arlow, “I’ll be right back.” She turned and walked off as Arlow watched her in horror. Peyton and Evan were running away when they heard a rustling behind them. Just as they turn to see what it is, a force of power choked them and the boys try to struggle to escape but Mora's power is too strong. The last thing they remember before passing out is the sound of Mora whispering, “That's it boys, sleep tight......” The next moment later was of Mora standing up, she pulls out the wooden cutting knife. "Do you like what you see? You know you want it. I can see it in your eyes. You need me to screw you hard, don't you?" moaned Mora. "No......no......" muttered Peyton. "Lying bastard. Let me show you how much you need this." With tears running down his face, he closes his eyes and open his mouth. Peyton could smell her sweet scent off the wooden cutting knife just before she shoves the tip of the wooden knife past his mouth. The wooden knife fills his mouth and this made him gag from the blood he could taste off there. Grabbing his head, she begins to slide the wooden knife in and out of his mouth. "Oh yeah, baby, that's what I'm talking about. Damn, that feels good." Opening his eyes; Peyton look up to see Mora’s head rolled back in ecstasy. Peyton feels the heat as the ordeal disgust Peyton felt at having a cattle prod forced upon him made his stomach turned. With each thrust, a small moan escapes Mora's lips. “Yeah, I knew you'd love it. How long has it been since you've been with a real gal?” She panted. Mora gently inserted her index finger into his wound on the collarbone, continuing to lick and stroked the inner lining of the wound, feeling the rough ridges. Peyton was horrified as he let out a painful moan, his back arching, and then slamming onto the wall. "Unnffff..." Mora moaned. "Yessss..." She moaned. “You’re sick! Sick in the head!” Evan exclaimed. “Oh you naughty, naughty boy. How could you resist a girl like me? We'll have to do something about it then, wont we?” she said quietly, standing only inches away from Evan now. "What are you...?" He mumbled as she pressed against his skin. "Isn't this what you want?" she purred and moaned quietly. "What are you doing?" Evan asked. She produced a long, thick cattle prod. "Let’s play!" she announced, a naughty twinkle in her eyes. She then spread his arms out and she looked at his horrified face, licking her lips. She ran the cattle prod lightly over and before parting them slightly. She slid the cattle prod across, working her way to his back side. Evan moaned and squirmed, desperate for his release from him. She toyed with his clothed body, the powerful vibrations reverberating through his body. "Was that so bad?" Mora purred. Evan was shocked, the feel of her body against Evan as they slid further together, limbs entwined, her trying to get as close as she possibly could. "I want you." Her words were soft but clear, “I want you so much, Evan...I haven't thought about anything else since you and Peyton....I've wanted this for so long.” She firmly holding both their wrists, and using her powers to keep the two from trying to get away, there was nothing he could do to stop them.  Evan was frightened at this sight. "Wait," he murmured, "No, wait. Please....Please, don't." Peyton and Evan tried to keep their mouths closed, however Evan's mouth was suddenly filled with the blood stained cattle prod. As he struggled, Mora turned to Peyton and pinned him. "Open wide." Mora grunted, barely giving Peyton time to obey before shoving the other cattle prod in his mouth. "Stop! Please..." The cattle prods were pumping furiously into the boys' mouths. Mora chuckled, "You could tell I'm a little horny, right?" She asked. Peyton could only moan softly. Mora timed the thrusts of the cattle prod to match the pace of her stroking. Mora began moaning softly as her body took control, she couldn't fight it. It had been too long, and her body was too desperate for the release. Back with Andrea, her dreams begins to accelerate: Tsubaki try to back away but Andrea had smacked Tsubaki so hard his entire body fell straight back onto the chair with me in it. Andrea pulled him awkwardly to his feet. The three all gawked at him and held each arm by my wrist tightly. They pulled my arms outstretched to each side as Tsubaki struggled. Andrea reached for him and pulled straight up in his seat. Andrea grabbed and pinched hard pulling his wrists down forcefully. They both hurt badly and were getting sore from the abuse. Tsubaki struggled to get an arm free with no success. Then, they got Tsubaki over the desk as his wrists were still held outstretched. Andrea walk up behind him with a cattle prod smacked his hard forcing his up to his feet. His skin stung under the skin as Andrea's boot kicked his legs apart and seated him back in the chair. Andrea was fumbling around with the cattle prod and ripping a hole, she insert the head of the cattle prod and slamming all the way into his skin. The cattle prod was wide enough to stretching the skin slowly. Andrea began pumping in and out, blood spurting. The sisters giggled at Tsubaki's agony. The cattle prod was pounding inside of him as her slender fingers dug into his abdomen sharply into him. Mora lifted him on her shoulders and placed the cattle prod which had entered the hole in his wound created by Andrea. She slammed the cattle prod hard inside his skin. She increased the strength of the prod's squeezes. Mora wasn't ashamed, she let out a exhilarating moan to make it clear that she was climaxing. Mora then withdrew the cattle prod and flipped him over, Tsubaki was reluctant but he kept his eyes closed and parted his mouth away in reluctance. Mora put the cattle prod in slowly sliding it over and he began sucking the vile tasting blood stained prod, Mora was behind him pumping in and out in a rhythm. Mora was moaning loudly as she grabbed Tsubaki roughly. Mora flipped him over to seat him in the chair and began lapping at the wound in the skin. Mora lowered herself onto Tsubaki and she grabbed both his shoulders and kneaded them as she continued drink his blood away. Mora's body convulsed as she had gotten another yelp of pain out of him. His body jerked and he felt his right side fall and hit the floor. Mora stood up triumphant standing over him. Sylvia woke up startled, she couldn’t believe she would have a dream like that. 

In the meantime; a girl name Martika ‘Marty’ and her friends: Garrett, Susan ‘Sue’ and Lawrence. They were exploring an abandoned building of some sort of old facility and want to find something interesting for their school project to share with everyone. Upon entering the building, Marty and her friends found the abandoned interior of the establishment to be much more impressive than they looked. In addition to the establishment; there are apartments, skyscrapers, and other buildings. This place was truly a maze for a new corner and the map they were given, which was barely made by hand, wasn’t much help. Marty sighed, “What a pain.” She muttered. Just then; the four of them entered the other rooms. “So, what do you think we’re going to find in here?” Garrett asked. “Oh, I don’t know until we find something good but if we run into trouble; we’ll stop.” Marty promised. “How long is this going to be?” Sue asked nervously. “For as long as we need to be.” Marty said. The others try to protest but Marty stopped them in their tracks. “I’m going to find more to this place even if it's the last thing I ever do.” Marty stated. Sue, Garrett and Lawrence stared out in terror. “You’re crazy!” Garrett exclaimed. “You’re out of your mind, Marty.” Lawrence declared. “I’m not sure about that…” Sue said nervously. “Hey, it’s a fair shot.” Marty replied shrugged. “Can you handle it, Marty?” inquired Lawrence. “Can I? Sure can cowboy.” Teased Marty. Lawrence smirked however Sue looks at him, Lawrence shrugged at him. Marty saw a button as she thought, “I wonder what this does.” She thought, and pressed a button which confused the gang. The floor underneath them opens and they all fall from the building above. As they fall, Garrett complains yelling in fear: “I HATE HEIGHTS!” They all anticipating what will happen next! Garrett yells, “WE''RE NOT GONNA MAKE I!!” Sue begs, "MARTY, PLEASE! GET US OUT OF HERE!!!” Marty rolled her eyes until she pointed down, “I see something there, hang on! It's gonna be a bumpy landing!” She said. They toppled to soft, cushion-like structure until they finally landed as they wandered around as she tries to find someone around here or something interested to discover. However, Marty was looking around while she said: “Where the hell are these packages?” Sue looked at her friend and smirked, “You don’t know what’s in them?” She asked. Marty shook her head, “No.” She said. Lawrence let out an ‘hmph’ and replied in an aloof tone, “Figures someone like you couldn't read what's in those boxes.” That made Marty upset by that statement and she was not going tolerate anything by this guy. “What do you mean by that?” Marty demanded. “Hey, I didn’t mean it like that.” Lawrence dissented. “Don’t you even; you don’t know me, I am not a lazy!” Marty exclaimed. “Shit Marty, that’s not…” Lawrence was about to say but Marty interrupts with anger. “Oh me? What do you think I am? You think I’m lazy? I’m not following up to responsibilities? I don’t know what went on in your life, your measly speck of life but here me when I say I do understand the danger of situations because I’ve been there! I…” Marty then broke down weeping. She covered her face, “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to say your life was a measly speck. The only life that’s a measly speck is mine!” She managed to say. Lawrence felt bad, he sighed and said: “No, it isn't.” But Marty wasn’t buying it, “Come on, admit it! I can’t bare myself to be a burden. Oh god...” She replied and wiped her face. “Relax, Marty. It’ll be fine. You don’t need to be scared.” Lawrence assured her. “Scared? Me? I’m not scared; I’m haunted by ‘ghosts’ of the past.” Marty claimed. She then begins to hyperventilating and was trying to stand but couldn’t however Marty is caught by Lawrence, who rubs her shoulders. Marty put her arms around him; her face buried in his chest and was blushing. Just then, there was a loud sound and a screech while also a mad laugh was heard! Then, a swarm of Wendigos appeared. Marty was shocked, Sue scream, Lawrence was scared and Garrett nearly crapped himself! Marty grabbed Sue by the hand and they exited out as they got separated from each other, they noticed one Wendigo was following and the girls ran faster. Just then, they came across a dead end after turning the corner into an alley! The Wendigo was galloping over to them where Marty and Sue screamed in terror. Just then, they felt themselves being lifted and found themselves safe above. Marty and Sue was surprised, they were confused as they didn’t see anyone. It wasn’t until Sue turned as she beamed and waved. “Wow, thank you!” She said happily. Marty was confused where she inclined her head, she saw Evan & Tsubaki standing across from her and Sue. Marty was ticked off as she surprised them and Sue with her looking in disbelief. “Oh great, another one of these two?! Who the hell are you? Huh, tell me—who the hell are you two?!” Marty demanded. Sylvia came behind Evan and Tsubaki, “Oh really? This is the thanks we get for saving your ass? Come on, girl. We just saved your life. You’re talking back against my crew in a rude manner, they’re my friends and I’m your rescuer—Sylvia Nyles!” She retorted. Sue’s eyes sparkled as she grinned and started bouncing up and down. “Oh my god! Oh my god! It’s you, your Sylvia from Dream State Agency!” She squealed. Marty was amazed, “Sylvia Nyles?” She questioned. “Damn straight!” Sylvia declared with a grin. Moments later; Sylvia and the gang leads Marty & Sue to find their other two friends when they saw Garrett was against the wall, panting out of breath. Just then; Garrett could feel hands wrap around his throat and choke at him so he couldn’t breathe. His wind pipe nearly broke as Garrett could've taken his last breath if Tsubaki didn't save him! Garrett was surprised by this, “Gee thanks man.” He said. Tsuabki nodded, “You’re welcome.” He said. Then, Sue is being strangled to near death, she reached a hand out and tries to call out for help however she breathed out a gasp and was about to die but she was rescued by Evan. “Holy…You saved my life, thanks!” Sue gasped while coughing and gagging for breath. In the meantime not sooner than after that; Marty felt the knife at the skin of her throat as it is about to cut deep however she is rescued by Sylvia. Marty is surprised by this brave girl’s rescue and couldn’t help but ask: “Why do you care about us?” Sylvia shrugged, “Because I lost someone important to me…Four of them, but one stood out in particular.” She said. Before she could speak; Marty noticed something as she exclaimed: “OH MY GOD!!!! LAWRENCE!!!” She pointed over to see Lawrence was standing up after he looked like he was knocked out as he was dazed. Just then; Lawrence saw headlights of a car and couldn’t move, the vehicle rushed at him that is about to kill him. However, Sylvia and Tsubaki saved him before he was run over! Lawrence is shocked as he, Garrett, Sue and Marty showed new respect towards Sylvia and her friends. But then, the memory still haunts Sylvia still as it echoes once again: The first victim was Charao who could feel hands wrap around his throat and choke at him so he couldn’t breathe. The bones and wind pipe broke as Chararo took his last breath! The second victim is Neeta where she was found being strangled to near death, she reached a hand out and tries to call out for help however she breathed out a gasp and her body became limp. While everyone try to escape; Kyara felt the knife at the skin of her throat as it cut deep. Blood oozed out as Kyara’s body went limp. She was no lifeless, gone and dead. And lastly, Notaku saw headlights of a car and couldn’t move, the vehicle rushed at him hard that killed him. Parts of his head was cut off! All the others were shocked. Sylvia was crying over the deaths of Tsubaki’s squad as she saw the military van that was driving back. Tsubaki tugged at Sylvia’s elbow, however Sylvia sobbed over Notaku and the others. In the present; Sylvia was shaken with fear. 

Sylvia and her gang heard the noise as they saw Aricia and the others running towards them. Ebony followed behind while carrying the mallet with a crazed look in her eyes. While this was happening; Aricia, Sylvia, Peyton and Evan were caught in a storm and all of a sudden, they were blown away as they discovered they were inside a dark building on the top floor of a tower they didn’t see before. They try to open the door that closed behind them when all of a sudden they are confronted by soldiers. “There they are, take them down!” The soldier commanded. Just as the soldiers advanced towards the four of them when all of a sudden, the lights flickered back and forth as there was a commotion of shouting coming from the soldiers: “What the hell?!” One said. “Man down, man down!” Another cried. The colors in the lights of red were sprayed across the hall. Later, the lights stopped flickering and came on. There was a figure stood amongst the dead bodies of soldiers. The four were surprised as they were relieved to see this person was the one that rescued them. “You saved us, thank you!” Aricia said with delight. “Yeah, thanks.” Agreed Peyton. The figure slowly turned around, she smiled darkly. “You’re welcome…” It was Mora as she stared at them with an eerie grin. Aricia, Sylvia, Peyton and Evan stared in horror. “OH MY GOD!!!” exclaimed Aricia. The four of them prepared to fight but were surprised to see that Mora held her hands up and being reassuring. “I come in peace and want to take you to a world of my own.” Mora assured them. Aricia wasn’t sure about trusting someone like Mora, she looked over at Sylvia who already spoke up: “We want to get out of here, not go to your world Mora!” Mora’s smile widened, “Wanna hear something cool? Ever heard of ‘daydream believer’? ‘Pie in the sky’? ‘Castle in the sky’? Well, the realistic people once say you shouldn’t have your head in the clouds, you must keep your feet more grounded than have them in flights of fantasy. The only way out of this tower is going from up to down.” She explained. The four of them stared at Mora’s expression. “You’re kidding.” Aricia finally said. Mora shook her head, “Nope. I wish I were.” She replied. “Shit.” Evan said under his breath. Mora then beckoned them to a wallpaper and peeled it off as it is revealed to have a hole in the wall and down there was an abyss to wherever it leads. “All right Alice, down the rabbit hole you go!” Mora said in a faux British accent. But the gang weren’t too sure so Mora leaped in first as a demonstration. Aricia was keen on it and decides to go in, Sylvia and the boys were worried but Aricia grinned at her friends. “All you need to know is that everything will be OK.” Aricia reassured, and then she fell in. Sylvia, Peyton and Evan were horrified. “OH GOD!!! ARICIA!!! ARE YOU OK, ARICIA?!” Sylvia cried. There was silence until Aricia’s ringed out: “COME ON, YOU GOTTA COME DOWN HERE AND SEE THIS!!!” Sylvia and the other two guys were relieved. Sylvia took a deep breath and looked over her shoulder, “Nice knowing ya boys.” She said with a wink before taking a leap of faith. It wasn’t long until Peyton and Evan followed in suite. They were falling for some time but there was colors and images they could see but then, all four landed as Mora leads them to a room where there was a small table. Two bottles were on there as well as two pills. And also, a note that reads: “Here are some good advice…One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small. Best taken now than later.” So; Aricia and Sylvia consumed each a bottle that caused them cramps and how they lack energy but they took a pill and swallowed that. However, that pill caused the two girls bloating and their emotions to be overwhelming them such as sadness and anger. But their emotions combined with their powers were a really bad thing but they took the bottles they consumed earlier again and nearly passed out. After a while, Aricia and Sylvia were feeling better. Peyton couldn’t help but ask, “So where are we going?” Mora said, “We’re going to find the Munchkins in the Emerald City.” Just then, Evan replied back sarcastically, “Oh! So we’re following the yellow brick road huh.” Peyton beamed while chuckling quietly. Mora giggled, “No, silly. We’re flying to Neverland.” She said teasingly. “Flying? That’s nice.” Sylvia said. Later on; they came across children working with one another. The children saw Mora and the others approaching “How are my brethren doing?” Mora asked, directly to the Nightmarchers. “Quite fine, love. Thanks.” Said one of the Nightmarcher children. “Yes, we are doing sw…” The second chimed in. But Mora interrupted with a stern, “SILENCE!!!” The Nightmarcher kids gasped. “You will speak when spoken to!” Mora scolded. Peyton spoke up, “Uh…He was spoken.” He said. “NONSENSE!!! One voice at a time, no interruptions! At all!” Just then, there were mewing sounds and the gang looked to see Nightmarchers had also have animals. Cats and dogs as well as rabbits as well with other cute animals. There were many sights to see as well as great things. After all the excitement of giving the gang the tour of a lifetime; Mora was getting under the covers to take a nap when Peyton appeared: “Mora? Sorry to bother you, but I have a question…” There was no answer from Mora. Peyton timidly continued, “I was wondering if you have any food. I don’t think we can find the cook or the kitchen. We got lost many times…We’re really hungry, Mora.” He looked over at Mora who didn’t reply back. “M..Mor…Mora?” Peyton asked gently. “Why do you keep talk? Talk? Talking? Don’t you ever stop for one friggin’ second?!” Mora said with irritation. Peyton was taken aback as he try to take back, “I…” He tried to say however Mora interrupts, “I need to sleep!” She said with emphasis. “I—sorry Mora. I was just hungry, I mean um…we’re all hungry.” Peyton said timidly. Mora gritted her teeth as she sat up while saying in a loud voice: “Oh, if you’re that hungry, why don’t you go AND EAT SHIT YOU ANNOYING BRAT!!!” She then collapses on the bed and heard feet leaving. Mora cursed herself and felt bad for what she said. After her nap; Mora noticed Peyton was having his back turn, “Peyton?” She asked timidly. Peyton turned around as his eyes were brined with tears. “Are you OK?” Mora inquired. Peyton nodded, “Uh yes…” He managed to say while crying, “I—I’m fine….” But covered his eyes with one arm but his sleeve was stained with tears. Mora realized what she done, “I’m so sorry.” She said as she was crying too. Mora reached over to touch Peyton but he reluctantly moved away. Mora continued to speak to him, “I didn’t mean to yell at you…I’ll make it up to you, OK?...What are you in the mood for? Tell me.” Her tearful voice was gentle and sweet. “I—I’m not hun—hun—hungry any—any—anymore…R…rea….really.” Peyton stammered. Mora felt bad so she found the Nightmarcher cook and requested a feast will be made. She was going to make them all happy one way or another! While they were eating; Mora was wearing a smile to her face as Aricia, Sylvia, Peyton and Evan were eating but they were glancing at Mora with concern. However, Mora excused herself for a moment and that’s when the gang thought they heard a loud sound. They checked to see but saw no one so they shrugged it off as just simply random noises. Arica and the gang returned to eating their food but soon they felt drowsy as they walked away while feeling drowsy, their stomachs were aching from the meal but they passed on the ground. Aricia, Sylvia, Peyton and Evan woke up to see their hands were tied behind them and looked up to see a hunchback figure. The Nightmarcher was Mastema Straker, who was a grotesque looking man who was mentally disabled and hulking. He wore a gray tunic, matching trousers, brown slippers and he has such round black eyes. “Huh hoo hoo!” Mastema said with that goofy, wild abundant laugh of his. “Mastema wants to play with guests.” Aricia got scared, “Stay away from us, please!” She begged. “No, no. Friends will obey to Mastema. Mastema will have fun with you.” Mastema said with his laugh. “Go away! Leave us alone!” Sylvia screamed. But Mastema did not heed to them as the four of them turned away in fear but somehow by a miracle, they were saved. “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!” A voice exclaimed. Mastema stopped in his tracks, he turned and saw Mora standing there, arms crossed as she looked mad. Mastema smiled sheepishly, “Huh—hoo—hoo!” He laughed then he added: “Mistress Mori, Mastema has friends to play with! Mastema wants to have fun with guests.” Mora gave a fake smile and approached the hulking Nightmarcher. “Oh, is that so? Well, my dear friend….I’m afraid you’re in trouble with me.” Mora said. “Mistress Mori, Mastema…” Mastema was trying to protest however Mora yelled at him, “YOU OAF!!! HOW DARE YOU PUT FEAR UPON THEM BY BINDING THEM THIS WAY!!! YOU BASTARD!!!” She beats up Mastema who was on the floor as he squealed and whimpered like a pig. In her anger; Mora repeatedly kicked at Mastema, who was bawling loudly, while she screeched: “THIS! IS! WHAT! YOU! GET! FOR MESSING! WITH MY! GUESTS!!!” She finally released him as she shrieked, “GO HOME TO YOUR MOTHER!!!” Mora released Sylvia and Aricia, she tells them to wait outside as she has to have a chat with Peyton and Evan. Once the two girls were freed and they left the room; Mora stared down at Peyton and Evan hard, she puffed out a breath before speaking. “I told you to be careful around these Nightmarchers and you disobeyed me. You trying to make me worried? Me, a mentally disturbed savant girl who is psychologically impaired, are you trying to make me sick to death?!” It was quiet for a moment until Mora turned her head to the Nightmarchers standing in the doorway and she exclaimed, “YOU TWO!!! GET THOSE BLOODY BOUNDS OFF THEM RIGHT NOW!!” The Nightmarchers obeyed and removed the bounds from Peyton and Evan’s wrists. Mora was pulling out at her hair, where she exclaimed with each emphasis felt like a verbal stab: “Is this…the only way…to KEEP YOU FROM SUCH TORTURE!!! AND NOT REPEAT THE WAY EDOM HIROKI DID TO YOU BOTH!!!” Peyton then spoke out, “Sorry, Mora…It’s just he seemed a nice guy and…I didn’t know he was going to do that.” Mora loomed over them with a tight smile across her face. “I’ll make sure no one hurts you boys again, all right you guys? No one’s gonna torture ever again…” She said in a sweet but unbalanced tone in her voice. Then, she exclaimed in a voice that startled both Peyton and Evan: “…NO ONE!!!” She turned and left the room. Once Mora calmed down, she and the others were proceeding down to the way out when they noticed someone was waiting for them. There stood a Nightmarcher woman who approached Mora, Aricia, Peyton, Sylvia and Evan. The woman has her hair in a vintage style of crown plaits, she has a death-like appearance of waxen skin, eyes so bright that they were piercing as they could stare into anyone’s soul. She resembled a maid with a navy blue dress that reached the floor almost, long sleeves; an attacked apron trimmed with lace, gray sheer tights and polished knee high boots. This woman was Mastema’s mother, Eglantine Straker. “Lady Mora, I would like to apologize for my son’s actions.” Said Eglantine. Mora managed to smile as she said, “You are always forgiven Eglantine. Keep your son away from our guests next time.” Eglantine feebly nodded, she then turned her attention to Evan and encircled around him while keeping her gaze upon him before leaving out of sight. Evan felt unsettled from her presence. “Be careful of Eglantine, she’s a hell lot worse than Mastema.” Mora whispered to the gang. Evan nodded, “Got it.” He said. Mora glared at him, “Don’t take this lightly Graham.” She said firmly. Now it was Evan’s turn to glare back at Mora, “I’m not. After the incident with Mastema? I don’t need to piss you off again.” He remarked. Mora stared at Evan in amazement before patting his shoulder, “Thank you.” She said. She turned to Sylvia and Peyton while whispering to them, “Good man.” And walked off with the others following. They were walking downward as they came across some strange Nightmarcher women who were having tea but when Mora and the others appeared they stopped as they were grateful to see her. “Lady Mora, hello there!” The ladies said in unison. Mora waved back, “Hello ladies, I see you’re having a tea party and thought I stopped by.” She said. “M’lady, who are these newcomers?” said one of the Nightmarcher girls. “Why, these people are guests. Can’t you tell?” One of the girls stared back at Peyton and Evan, “Oh…!” She said softly. A smile appeared, she frantically made her way over to Evan as she pushed him towards the wall. She was smiling from ear to ear at Evan who looked rather scared, “It’s you!” She mumbled. Evan was awkward at this sight, but the other girls argued: “No, it’s not! That could be an imposter!” The others gasped, “An imposter?” But the other girl who pinned Evan to the wall said, “It’s absolutely them! You are Evan Graham, I know you anywhere!” She then turned to the other girls as she said, “I know ‘em anywhere!” The girls giggled while applauding with excitement. “Oh, that reminds me. We have someone hear to show you. One moment, please.” Said one of the women. It wasn’t long until the Nightmarcher ladies brought out someone of a figure being wheeled in. The person in the chair was strapped to the chair and wore a brown bag over his head. But when the bag was removed, it was none other than Sakiware Hiroki himself. He was battered, bruised, and bloodied. Boy, he was pissed! Aricia, Sylvia, Peyton and Evan are shocked by this as the girls giggled maniacally and clapped happily. “We want to show you our criminal to be set for a trial.” Said one of the girls. Mora grinned, “Excellent! Take him to court, we’ll be there.” She instructed. 

The ladies did what they were told; Sylvia had something on her mind that’s been bothering her. “I wonder…How come these Nightmarchers aren’t planning on hurting us or doing anything.” She stated to her friends. But she did not expect the Nightmarchers would be listening because they turned and smiled. “Fret not, my dear friends. Mistress Mora wants to keep you all safe and we have no intentions of harming you.” Said one of the Nightmarchers. “Why do I get the feeling that’s not reassuring?” Aricia remarked. They enter the courtroom where there was dozens of Nightmarchers but the chatter quieted down when a voice announced: "All rise." The guards wait for everyone-except the judge- to stand. They do as the voice announced again, "Court is now in session. Mistress Mora Carroll presiding. Please be seated."All were seated as Mora appeared. “Let the trial begin!” Mora exclaimed as she walked in. Aricia, Sylvia, Peyton and Evan could only watched from the back as the trial begins. “Mistress Mora… members of the jury… loyal subjects…The prisoner at the bar is charged with enticing his way into our home and thereby willfully and with malice aforethought, teasing, tormenting, and otherwise annoying our beloved darling...” The Nightmarcher said while ranting but Mora exclaimed, startling him. “Never mind all that! Get to the part where I lose my temper.” She said with excitement. The Nightmarcher nodded as he concluded, “Right, right, right! Thereby causing the mistress to lose her temper.” Mora nodded as she turned to Sakiware, “Now, Ha ha… are you ready for your sentence?” Sakiware looked at her in disbelief, “Sentence? Idiots, there must be a verdict first!” He exclaimed. Mora pointed a finger, “Sentence first! Verdict afterwards.” She confirmed. “You morons, that just isn’t the way!” Sakiware declared. Mora glared back at him as she is about to exclaim, “All ways are…” But a Nightmarcher from the crowd in the courtroom finished for her, “…Your ways, m'lady.” Mora beamed, “Yes…His sentence will be known as a form of punishment.” That’s when the opening statement came about. This is when the attorney can tell the jury what evidence they will present during the trial. The district attorney goes as he stated, “Your Honor and ladies and gentlemen of the jury: the defendant has been charged with the crime of being a Hiroki such as subjecting others of bullying, abuse, verbal mistreatment and other things necessary that he must be punished of. The evidence will show that the footage we have that the perpetrator used against others. The evidence I present will prove to you that the defendant is guilty as charged.” The Moneta was brought in and then, a projection of a memory was played out that shocked the people in the courtroom! Aricia, Sylvia, Peyton, and Evan were shocked: The memory that was shown is of Satoshi Quennel being bullied and humiliated by Sakiware himself. The Nightmarchers protested loudly than ever. “Photographic proof! Sakiware's a goner.” Said one. The second commented, “I would be ashamed as well if I had done that!” The third begins to weep, “I'll never look at the insidious bastard again, he’s an offense to women alike!” She said through her tears. A fourth also said, “He is despicable!” A fifth also cried out, “How could he do such a thing?!” Sakiware was in disbelief, “HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIND THAT?!” He demanded. Mora laughed evilly, “I’ll never let you know on that.” She stated. The court room erupted in anger and yelling about different ways to punish Sakiware such as decapitation, hang him on the gallows, electric chair and other deadly punishments. That’s when Sakiware managed to cut himself loose and try to wreck havoc. Everyone screamed, Aricia and her friends made an escape with Mora awaiting from the doorway as she leads them away. After the chaotic trial and Sakiware escaped; Mora leads Aricia, Sylvia, Peyton and Evan to the exit after reaching the downstairs part. But then, they heard footsteps and Eglantine approached. They turned but soon they were horrified to see that Eglantine held a fire poker stick in her hand as well as herself laughing like a maniac. She stopped as she said in a creepy monotone, “Blood…Flesh…Human. You defiling creature, you allow that Nightmarcher…This alluring witch before you into you again and again but you are allowed to do that because you are a precious little human. Precious little human…precious little human…Precious little human….Pr—prec—precious—li—lit—lit—little—hu—hu—hu—hum—hum—hum—human…” She begins to laugh and tries to attack Mora and the others but they fought back and defeated Eglantine. Aricia, Peyton, Sylvia and Evan were making their way to the exit but Mora blocked them. “Why can’t you stay here? I won’t let you!” She said while begging. “Mora, you promised to help us!” Aricia pointed out. “NO, NO, YOU’RE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS!!!” But Sylvia flexed her hand out while whispering, “Sorry…” She used her powers to move Mora away and they left her. But Mora let out a horrendous wail. “DON’T LEAVE ME!!! DON’T LEAVE ME!!! I’LL DIE WITHOUT YOU!!” Mora exclaimed while Aricia, Sylvia, Peyton and Evan ran off!
