Chapter 12: The Forgotten Fury 

At night; a call girl roamed the streets, wearing fishnet tights, shorts and bustier top. She has a garter around her right thigh. The streetwalker wore eye shadow, lipstick and looking pretty as she wandered around, then it happened: The call girl came by a van with tinted windows, she tapped at the window. It was then the windows rolled down as the call girl leaned over with a sultry glance on her face, “Hey sugar…Looking for a good time?” She asked. The voice from the vehicle sounds like he was smiling, “Oh yes. Would you mind of another being here?” The call girl smirked, “Oh, a friend? OK, I’ll take the three way.” She purred. Just then; there was a firm hand gripping her wrist, it felt like iron and the voice said: “You want to play with us?” Immediately; the girl knew something was wrong, she try to pull away however it was too late! She screamed as she is dragged in the van as it peels away! Later; the poor streetwalker was left in an alley, bleeding to death and crying. It wasn’t until some shadow loomed down on her, but this time a girl’s voice spoke up softly: “I can help you sweetie.” Later; Michael and Hayato returned from a night out from going after that prostitute. Just then, Hayato noticed something that surprised him. “Oooh! We got company.” Hayato sneered with delight. Michael looked and his eyes widened in amazement, “Just the girl we’ve been looking for.” He purred. Andrea smirks at them, “Hmm….Kinda cold in here boys.” She said. Michael was behind her chair, “That can be arranged.” He said as he tries to touch her shoulders however Andrea swiftly steps away. “You gonna do the same thing to me like what you did to that streetwalker?” She snapped. Michael sighed, “Oh come now, she was asking for it.” He said. Andrea slowly turned to him intensely, “Never. Say. That.” She said angrily. Michael sighed, “You’re right…It wasn’t our intention but we were starving.” He claimed. “Yeah? So am I! I haven’t been fed all day!” Andrea screamed. Hayato was annoyed so he sarcastically asked, “What can we do to make a girl like you happy?” He said with a fake smile. “I want you to bring me my angel…My ‘lily pad’…Our ‘Lily White’, bring her by midnight.” Andrea commanded. “Hmm, kidnap Lily White by midnight? Sounds like Cinderella.” Hayato said. “And keep her for awhile.” Andrea finished. Michael laughed, “Now it’s more like Rapunzel.” He remarked. “Bring me my long haired girl with the glass slippers at once! I do not want her to lose her shoes!” demanded Andrea. “Affirmative, darling.” Michael said with a grin on his face. Meanwhile; Lily wore a pastel blue dress with a silk yet loose petticoat and embroidered floral lace cover. It has a silver scalloped ribbon hemming as well as a silver silk floral ribbon around the waist that also match her gloves. She was attending the party alongside Cherie, “Thanks for inviting me here.” Said Lily. “Oh, it’s no trouble.” Cherie replied. They attended the party while Lily and Cherie had a good time when a woman approached Lily. “Excuse me miss? But a gentleman has asked for you upstairs with something important.” She said. Curious; Lily went upstairs to the balcony as she shivered but found a note there that said something that made her eyes widened in horror: “HELLO MY LILY WHITE, DID YOU MISS ME? –GUESS WHO?” Dropping the note; Lily tries to move backwards when a hand clasps over her mouth, “Hold still my sweet lily white.” And Lily felt sharp fangs as well as incisor-like fangs into her skin of her neck. Then, Lily was passed out and the next thing that occurred, Lily was awakening in a dark, dimly lit room as well as a soft cushion of a bed. As she sat up to view her surrounds; Lily was met with Hikaru, Kanchan, Stephanie and Prisca who leered at her from the shadows. Lily panicked as she moved away quickly, she try to flee but was pinned to the wall as they  advanced towards her. Her wrists at her sides on the wall, “GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!” yelled Lily. Just then, Hikaru was moving his filthy hands up her dress, “No, get your paws from there….No, no, NOT THERE!!!” She protested. Then, Hikaru as well as the others are thrown backwards. “WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!” Andrea screamed, “DO NOT TOUCH HER!!!” She then turns to them with an intense stare expression. “Ah, Andie…” Hikaru greeted however he and the others cringed when Andrea exclaimed: “ANDREA!!!” Hikaru replied back, “Andrea…uh we—we apologize for bringing you trouble to Lily. She was just beautiful.” Andrea snapped back, “Don’t make excuses, I’m watching all of you! I’ll go bat-shit crazy all of you!” All of them left while Andrea turned to Lily and helped her up, “You OK sweetie?” Lily nodded, “Yes, thank you.” She replied. Andrea patted her shoulder, “You should go and freshen up, I promise those bastards won’t ever hurt you again.” She said. Lily smiled, “Thanks…again. I really do appreciate it.” She admitted. Andrea provide her with clean clothes, a towel, a louffa and shampoo as well as shower body wash. After freshening up; Lily just come out of the shower, she wrapped herself in the towel as she walks back to her room. She shivered as she finally got to her room without incident. Lily closed the door, let her towel dropped to the ground and got dressed. She brushed her hair, put her blue necklace along with her cross, places her socks on her delicate feet. Finally; Lily turned on a dim light from a lamp and begins to write in her new notebook, it was a gift from the Carroll Family. As she was engrossed in the story she was continuing, Lily felt hands on her own petite hands! “My, you have pretty hands you have writing there.” Hayato said while he crept behind Lily. She freezed as she turned to him and asked: “What do you want?” Hayato was trying to go even deeper, “Now, now sweetie. Don’t be so hard on me, I was here to keep you company.” Hayato replied. “Business before pleasure, I’m writing here.” Retorted Lily. Hayato clicked the pen off, Lily looks at him with a disdained expression. “You fingers look bruised from pressing too hard on the paper. So that’s your secret to hand writing perfection. Sounds difficult with great concentration, but no pain, no gain right?” Hayato said. Lily snorted, “Hmm….The form of seduction. Goodness gracious! Are you trying to seduce me? If you are, it’s working…NOT!” She remarked and went to return to her writing. However, she was thrown on her bed as Hayato had his hands on her, “Oh my Gawd!!!” She moaned. “Yes, you like that..” Hayato said. But he froze when a voice in his ear said, “I’ll like it better if I put my hands through you.” Mora was standing right behind a stunned yet disappointed Hayato, who reluctantly gets off her. Lily was quivering as she hugged her knees to her chest. Mora sighed, “Somebody better get enhanced security.” She retorted. Later at night; Andrea sat at the table waiting in such impatience by Lily’s tardiness. She leaned back in her chair while muttering: “Gawd, how do you people live like this? Day after day, keep a girl like me waiting for almost an hour…” Then, there was soft footsteps as Andrea sighed: “Finally!” She gets up as she straightened herself before returning to her seat. Then; Lily emerged in a purple, off the shoulder neckline gown with jeweled diamonds of a flower on the front on the bodice. Andrea smiled at the sight of her however Michael Tanaka looked disappointed. “Not theone I gave you?” He inquired. “Skimpy dresses aren’t my thing. Sorry.” Lily remarked. Andrea’s fake smile faded, “You gave her that dress?” She said with gritted teeth. “What’s wrong with that? Is that a problem?” asked Michael. “Yes, why the hell would you give her a dress with shreds? That is not appropriate. You really are a predator.” Accused Andrea. Michael scoffed at this, “A predator? Sounds harsh, isn’t it?” Andrea crossed her arms, “You know, that’s what you are. You bastard.” She said. “Hmph!” Michael said, making a face. Lily was enjoying the food, “The food is excellent.” She said after she swallowed. “Thank you, dearie. I knew you’d love it. Baked ziti, and you’re eating properly.” Andrea said, beaming with pride. “Of course, I have manners don’t I?” Lily said incredulously. Michael watched her with a leer on his face, “You sure are hungry, you seem so modest.” He remarked. Lily gave him a glare while delicately wiping her face with the napkin. She chew slowly while eating and swallowed without going too fast. Once she managed to talk without eating, Lily said to Tanaka: “Stop flirting me, you’re staring at me. Are you hungry or something?” She was trying to sound sarcastic. “Maybe you are, you looked delicious…Luscious.” Michael purred, his voice dripping with sickly sweetness. Lily chuckled, “Careful, you sound seductive.” She retorted. Stephanie said with a smirk, “Oh no, my Lord is serious. They both want to eat you.” Lily’s head darted up in horror, “What?” She said weakly. “They haven’t eaten much and are starving, would you like to be the main meal?” Prisca said with a giggle. Lily glanced at Michael and Hayato who had ravenous looks in their eyes. “Oh shit!” She blurted out. Lily bolted from the table, backing away from Michael and Hayato advancing towards her however Andrea’s Nightmarchers protect Lily from those tow. Michael and Hayatao glared over at Andrea, who was leanded comfortably in her seat, her head cocked to the side as her facial expression was full of skepticalism. “I knew you would do something like this.” Remarked Hayato. “Ah, you see what I did there? No one defiles or brings hard to my Lily White and gets away with it.” Andrea said with a sneer. 

In the meantime; there was a DVD that Carla found that had something that said, “STARRING ROLE” so she decided to take a look. The DVD played out of the events that unfold: Andrea was walking onto the set as she applies her makeup and changes her shoes against a brightly lit backdrop with numerous chandeliers flickering on and off. She is donning bright-red, ultra shiny lipstick and giant mirrored aviator sunglasses as she licks her lips for the camera and gazes sultrily into the lens. But it soon turned into insanity as she laughs! The scene changes to Mora, who is waiting in front of an apartment when her friends then come out and join her. They then drive away from the haze of the city. As they drive away, they drive down a forest road. They eventually meet up at a small cabin-like building and start drinking slushies. The girls are walking through the forest with other shots of the rest of the group walking and coming to a campground while also by a lake. As the sky darkens, they start dancing around a bonfire. The girls dancing and partying through the night. In another shot shows Mirani is in a white fur coat and long braids, she is oiled up, writhing around in a pair of tiny pink shorts and a white tank top, displaying wet and wild hair as well as a shiny appearance to her skin. But also her long, disheveled hair in the wind while she is running around babbling lyrically about the strange visions flashing through her deranged mind, singing creepy little rhymes, scattering flowers and occasionally bashing people's heads in. She is then covered in blood while in neon pink shorts and a revealing white top. In the next part of the film shows the parts of only Andrea: The corners of her eyes and the curve of her mouth. Andrea was miserable and was beginning to act crazy. It began when on her bed neatly laid out were her shirt, pants, bra and panties. She came out of the bathroom completely nude dripping wet as she took the cup of juice there and took a swig straight from it. Then, she bought a new shower curtain however she ended up hanging it up in her room, cut to shreds and dyed till it was almost unrecognizable. It wasn’t until Andrea had finished dozens of projects over the years at 12 years old; she had hated all of the stories and had to redo everything over and over. She flew off the handle, doused about different stories in lighter fluid, and set the yard on fire. Mora and the girls rushed home to find Mora sitting in the back of the room, covered in ashes, parts of her hair scorched at the ends. She was covered in a blanket with burnt ends of her fingers. The flowers were burnt, ruined and broken! One night; Andrea was drunk and tossed her newly cropped hair, and her soft eyes fill with tears, then she took a glass that had a bull’s head and smirked. The next morning, she was dead asleep on top of the covers, after she had cut a swathe from one of the new rose bushes and made a giant bouquet, shoving them so tightly in the vase that some had escaped and made their way from their perch on the changing table to the floor. She had scattered them in the bassinet, on the windowsill. It was chaotic and beautiful. In her eyes like repressed artillery fire, like she was ready to explode at any second, but it never lasted for longer than a few seconds before they went back to the soft color in her irises. One day; the sisters and other girls found Andrea sitting on the leather couch with a bottle of perfume, covered head to toe in blue-gray body paint, with a special deliberation underneath her eyes. She was wearing a revealing mélange blue dress, covered in crosses of a range of shapes and sizes from the shredded shower curtain where her breasts and the curve of her waist were exposed a little in the sheerness of the outfit. The bottle was drawn out in her hands. Andrea got up and walked through the rose garden and notices a tiny piece of ashes so she went inside and poured herself a glass of orange juice. She sipped the sweet citrus as she stared out into space. Moments later of silence; she took a swig of juice from the bottle, swirling it around in her mouth before gulping and smacked her soft pink lips together while sighing. The next shot shows of Andrea making a cake with thousands of frosting that resembles lady bugs and another frosting that resembled a tarantula while other girls were eating croissants while watching her. And the film ends there. Curious to know more about banshees, harpies and Furies; Emily decides to do some research and discovers what she finds about each creature in particular: The banshee is often described in Gaelic lore as wearing red or green, usually with long, disheveled hair. She can appear in a variety of forms. Perhaps most often she is seen as an ugly, frightful hag, but she can also appear as young and beautiful if she chooses. In some tales, the figure who first appears to be a banshee or other cailleach, which is a folklore hag, is later revealed to be the Irish battle goddess, the Morrígan. In Ireland and parts of Scotland, a traditional part of mourning is the keening woman who wails a lament. This keening woman may in some cases be a professional, and the best keeners would be in high demand. The lament would be sung by a fairy woman; having foresight, she would sing it when a family member died, even if the person had died far away and news of their death had not yet come, so that the wailing of the banshee was the first warning the household had of the death. In later versions, the banshee might appear before the death and warn the family by wailing. When several banshees appear at once, it indicates the death of someone great or holy.  The tales sometimes recounted that the woman, though called a fairy, was a ghost, often of a specific murdered woman, or a mother who died in childbirth. Then, Emily researched on harpies: Harpies are a group of female monsters in the form of a bird with a human face. They steal food from their victims while they are eating and carry evildoers (especially those who have killed their family) to the Erinyes. They seem originally to have been wind spirits. Their name means "snatchers". “Here the repellent harpies make their nests, Who drove the Trojans from the Strophades. With dire announcements of the coming woe. They have broad wings, with razor sharp talons and a human neck and face, Clawed feet and swollen, feathered bellies; they caw their lamentations in the eerie trees.” As quoted from Virgil’s Dante’s Inferno. Emily researched on the Furies and learns that the Furies were female chthonic deities of vengeance; they were sometimes referred to as "infernal goddesses". A formulaic oath in the Iliad invokes them as "those who beneath the earth punish whosoever has sworn a false oath". According to Hesiod's Theogony, when the Titan Cronus castrated his father, Uranus and threw his manhood into the sea, the Erinyes--which they are called in Greece--as well as the Meliae emerged from the drops of blood when it fell on the earth (Gaia), while Aphrodite was born from the crests of sea foam. According to variant accounts, they emerged from an even more primordial level—from Nyx, or from a union between air and mother earth. Their number is usually left indeterminate. Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone, all of whom appear in the Aeneid. Dante Alighieri followed Virgil in depicting the same three-character triptych of Erinyes; in Canto IX of the Inferno they confront the poets at the gates of the city of Dis.  Sounds ghastly? Yes it does. But here's more into their background: The Erinyes live in Erebus and are more ancient deities than any of the Olympians. Their task is to hear complaints brought by mortals against the insolence of the young to the aged, of children to parents, of hosts to guests, and of householders or city councils to suppliants - and to punish such crimes by hounding culprits relentlessly. The Erinyes are crones and, depending upon authors, described as having snakes for hair, dog's heads, coal black bodies, bat's wings, and blood-shot eyes. In their hands they carry brass-studded scourges, and their victims die in torment. Alecto is the Erinys with the job of castigating the moral crimes such as anger, especially if they are against other people. Her function is similar to Nemesis, with the difference that Nemesis's function is to castigate crimes against the gods. In the Aeneid, Juno commanded Alecto to prevent the Trojans from having their way with King Latinus by marriage or besiege Italian borders. Alecto's mission is to wreak havoc on the Trojans and cause their downfall through war. To do this, Alecto takes over the body of Queen Amata, who clamors for all of the Latin mothers to riot against the Trojans. She disguises herself as Juno's priestess Calybe and appears to Turnus in a dream persuading him to begin the war against the Trojans. Met with a mocking response from Turnus, Alecto abandons persuasion and attacks Turnus with a torch, causing his blood to "boil with the passion for war". Unsatisfied with her work in igniting the war, Alecto asks Juno if she can provoke more strife by drawing in bordering towns. Juno replies that she will manage the rest of the war herself: ‘You're roving far too freely, high on the heavens' winds, and the Father, king of steep Olympus, won't allow it. You must give way. Whatever struggle is still to come, I'll manage it myself.’ Megaera is the cause of jealousy and envy, and punishes people who commit crimes, especially marital infidelity. Like her sisters Alecto and Tisiphone, as well as the Melian Nymphs, she was born of the blood of Uranus when Cronus neutered him. This name denotes a jealous or spiteful woman translates as "shrew". And Tisiphone was the one who punished crimes of murder: parricide, fratricide and homicide. In Book VI of Virgil's Aeneid, she is described as the guardian of the gates of Tartarus, 'clothed in a blood-wet dress'. In Book IV of Ovid's Metamorphoses, she is described as a denizen of Dis who wears a dripping red robe and who has a serpent coiled around her waist. At the behest of Juno, Tisiphone drives Athamas and Ino mad with the breath of a serpent extracted from her hair and a poison made from froth from the mouth of Cerberus and Echidna's venom. According to one myth, she fell in love with a mortal, Cithaeron, but was spurned; in her anger she formed a poisonous snake from her hair, which bit and killed him. In Book I of Chaucer's "Troilus and Criseyde", the narrator calls upon her to help him to write the tragedy properly.

Carla was recalling memories since her great trust in Emily Grynte: There was a young man by the name of Katriel Houston where he was just some lonely guy and he spent a good few months, living alone without talking to anyone. It wasn’t until he met a friend; it was a girl who was a barista in one of those small laneway cafes scattered around the city. Working with the frother machine as Katriel steps in; the girl took noticed as he sat there at the counter of the café. “Can I help you?” The girl asked, over the sound of the machine. "Um, a hot chocolate thanks." Katriel exclaimed, but obviously the girl didn't hear him. "What?" She called. "A hot chocolate!" hollered Katriel. The girl turned off the machine, she gave him a look and said: "It's called a 'drinking cocoa.' Yeah, I know but that's what my boss told me to tell everyone." Katriel's eyebrows drew in confusion. "Why? That's stupid." He replied. "Yeah, tell that to my nagging boss. He's the 'genius'." declared the girl. Just then, a salt white and peppery black haired man with a grouchy look on his face went behind and pinched the girl's arm. Katriel smirked, "He must be the 'genius' boss." He thought. The girl let out a squeal and said in a light-hearted tone while winking, "Hey! I'm kidding." The boss nodded, "That's what I thought, mister." She mumbled and walked away. The girl went back to work as she and Katriel shared a laugh together. The girl’s name was Barbara and the two of them bonded in a close friendship. Later; Katriel lied in the fields when he saw someone approaching him, he sat up to see a gruff man approach. "Are you OK?" The guy asked. Katriel sat up and he nodded, but the guy kept asking: "You didn't fall, did you?" Katriel shook his head, "No....I was resting. Sorry." He replied. The man looked over at him, "What's your name kid?" He asked. "Katriel Houston." replied Katriel. The man smiled and extends his hand, "I'm Kurran Dainard." A few moments later; Kurran walk alongside Katriel and kept looking at him out of concern. Kurran has great respect for Katriel, even after hearing how he and his brother Eindride were involved with slaughtering Wendigos! However, it was five years ago. It was at this point Katriel walked down the mess hall to get some food but today it would be interested. "Katriel." A familiar voice called. Katriel turns his head, he saw Kurran Dainard with a boy Katriel's age but slightly taller. Kurran smiled, beckoning Katriel. "Come sit with us." He said. The boy with Kurran give him a look, Katriel looked back at him with a dark look while he turned to Kurran and smiled, "Oh, I'm okay, thank you." He said with a polite look. Kurran just laughed: "Ah, come on, there's plenty of room at our table." He replied, urging a little. Katriel managed to nod however he felt something about this guy with Kurran was troubling. Moments later; Katriel was sitting with Kurran, a dog and the boy. "I haven't seen this much of a meal in a while." He said. "We've got a lot of food. Take as many as you want." replied Kurran warmly. While eating; Kurran said: "Katriel, this is my son--Ozzy." Katriel nodded, Ozzy smirked and swallowed while saying, "So you're the guy, eh? You're the guy who's gonna run defense for me?" Katriel shrugged, "That's the plan." He said. Ozzy looked excited, "Good." He replied. "So when was the last time you maneuvered, Kato?" Ozzy asked. "About five years ago." Katriel replied. Ozzy looked at him incredulously, "What have you been doing for five years?" He demanded. Katriel glared at Ozzy however Kurran came to Katriel's defense as he said, "Something pretty important, I reckon." Katriel smirked, "I was in construction." He replied. Kurran lightly punched Katriel's shoulder in appreciatively, "Oh, wow, that's great. Really useful." He praised. Ozzy lets out a tsked sound, "You know your way out of it, eh, Kato?" He taunted. "It's Katriel." Katriel corrected. "Whatever. Look, you're the so-called bright idea. And my old man, he seems to like you." Ozzy leans over and whispers, "But it's guys like you who brought down this place. To me, you're dead weight. You slow me down, I'm gonna drop you like a sack of shit." He said, and adds with a tongue click. Katriel just stares at him dead in the eye without blinking. Not afraid however he was ready to punch Ozzy however that didn't. After awhile; Ozzy sneers, "I'll see you around, Katriel." He finally said. He gets up and stood up while he turns to his dog with a smile, "Come on, Thumper." With that, he turned as he and the dog walked off. Katriel turned over to Kurran, who claimed: "You can blame me for that one. I've raised him on my own." After a mission that nearly went wrong; Ozzy confronted Katriel and Ozzy. "You two are a disgrace. You're gonna get us all killed, and here's the thing, why don't you just do us all a favor and disappear? It's the only thing you're good at." Ozzy exclaimed. Katriel was about to step forward however Barbara stepped between them, "Stop! Now!" She said firmly. Ozzy smirked over to Katriel, "Yeah, that's right. You just hold back your little girlfriend. One of you bitches needs a leash." He retorted aggressively. Katriel was offended, "Apologize to her." He demanded. Ozzy looked over to Katriel, "Screw you." He said. Ozzy was about to leave when Katriel grabs him, "I said apologize to her." He said. A fight broke out, where Katriel managed to get the upper hand against Ozzy! It wasn’t until Kurran came in and stopped the fight, "Hey, hey! Enough!" He exclaimed, Katriel and Ozzy stopped. "What's going on? On your feet, both of you!" demanded Kurran. Ozzy glared at his father, "No, we aren't finished!" He declared. Kurran give him a look, "You are....Now." He said in a deadpanned tone that was chilling. Afterwards; these two are sent on a mission together, which both aren’t too thrilled however they are told that there is someone in the area stirring up havoc. So they went off and search for this person that’s causing the trouble. It wasn’t until Katriel and Ozzy saw her: Carla Dangeri--She wore a long sleeved shirt, leggings, and sneakers. The strange girl slowly walked over to Katriel and Ozzy. "My friends, you are....Just the people I was looking for!" She exclaimed. Katriel and Ozzy looked flabbergasted. "What did you sau?" Ace asked. That's when all three of them is knocked out by a scent in the air. The next thing they knew they woke up in a tower! "So, you are the little ass hat that's been causing a lot of trouble." Ozzy remarked. "Me? Trouble?" said Carla, "I'm just a broken fallen from heaven to be sent here on earth." Roland looks at her funny, "You're so fricking weird."  He remarked. "Thanks, I know I am but who are you? A punk? Are ya?" said Carla. Ozzy looked at her and said, "Mind tell us who you working for?" Katriel look back at him with a hard glare, "'Us'? Since when do you and I work together? You got me imprisoned here, asshole!" He reminded. "Shut up." snapped Ozzy. He turned back to Carla, "Would you mind telling me who you working for?" He asked. Carla twists her lips thoughtfully but she considers this for a moment as Katriel and Ozzy wait for her to reply. "I could…But that would just give myself away." She said finally. "Here, let's hold a challenge!" Carla looked at them with a dark smile upon her face. "Challenge?" Katriel and Ozzy chorused. "Yup, whoever defeats the Wendigos will win this competition. Starting...now!" Carla pressed a button on a pen-like device and a puff of smoke out comes! She escapes. Katriel and Ozzy went after her separately as they try to track down the place she is at. But they ran into Wendigos and try to fight them. Until strange forces of levitation, darkness, and other matters that defeated them. Finally; Katriel and Ozzy found Carla's location but when they got in; they found something gold and silver. They've seen this before and even heard of this before. "Is this--?"Katriel started to say but a voice from above startles them. "Hi boys, welcome to the grand palace, cool ain't it?" It was Carla, coiled around a pillar. "How the hell you got in here?!" Ozzy demanded. Carla shrugged casually. "What can I say, I'm that good. I am the smart one here." She bragged. "You are one hell of a woman, I guess Katriel and I underestimated you." Ozzy commented.  "You guys sure can unimpressive; you guys are one gold hearted boys." Carla said. "Frick, we're not just any gold hearted guys right? We're just the people you’re looking for, as you said." Katriel said, his psychic powers went off quickly! Carla ran, dodging and hiding. "Game's over, Carla! We win!" Ozzy replied. "We won this stupid game!" More sparks flied but Carla dodged them still! "Come out; come out, wherever you are!" Katriel hollered. "Boy oh boy, I knew there was something interesting about them since we met. They're more impressive than I thought." Carla muttered to herself, pleased by all this. "You can run, but you can't hide!" Ozzy called out. They thought they got her but it was only her jacket. "What the hell--?" Katriel demanded in shock. Ozzy turned and his eyes widened, pointing to what's coming. "Look out!" He exclaimed. "Surprise!" cried Carla, lunging at Ozzy. She was in a long sleeved shirt, smiling down at Katriel, who saw her intimidating appearance but realized what he was suppose to do. "Hey, get off me, will ya?" He said. "Oops, sorry ‘bout that!" Carla replied, sneering darkly. 

The Wendigos were in that explosion and Carla cheered, "Yay! I won!" She said. Then, Carla turned to Katriel and Ozzy, "Congrats you guys, you did your best!" The three of them managed to escape. In a hotel room; Carla plopped on the bed. "OMG, that was super intense! Too cool!" She squealed. Katriel narrowed his eyes, "You almost died back there, you loon." He remarked. "I made it out all right, didn't I?" Carla said, she then had her legs in the air and crossed them dramatically. "How did you do that?" asked Katriel, referring to her abilities. Carla stopped bouncing and sat up. "Uh, I'm Spider Girl? Catwoman?" She lied. Katriel glared at her, but he looked blushing in the face as he looks at her breasts shyly. "That's one way to convince me..." He muttered. Carla glared back at him suspiciously and looked down at her boobs, she covered herself. "Hey, don't look at my chest!" She exclaimed. "Will you guys be quiet?" Ozzy said, he was dressed up again and rubbing his messy, wet hair with a towel. "Geez! How did we get stuck with her?" He moaned. Katriel glared at him, "We? I was brought into this mess with you, we are not a team and no longer friends." "Yeah, until she came in and messed you up!" Ozzy argued back. "Why the hell do you care, you--" Katriel started to ask but Carla interrupted them. "Ahhh, Power and control....One person always want to have the upper hand in this cock fight, it's somewhat similar to who would wear the pants in this part. It's always a competitive sport, to see who can get the upper hand and control. Me? I shouldn't be labeled as part of the problem." She turns away on the bed, "Now, I'm going to get some shut eye for a little. The same goes for you guys. Nighty night." said Carla. When she awoke from her nap; Carla went for a walk. Then she saw a park and a playground so she heads right over there for a reason. Moments later; she was on the swings, but then heard someone behind: "So, care to tell me what happened back there?" Carla turned around to see Katriel's annoyed face. "Fine, I was subjected as an experiment to become an invincible hunter." admitted Carla. "Liar." Katriel snapped. "What? You don’t believe me? I don’t have to tell you twice...." Carla started to say but Katriel seem irritated, "You're hiding something all right, and I really am annoyed at how much of a damn priss you are and being all mysterious." Katriel said. Carla begin to look huffy, "Well, it shouldn't be my problem that other people cannot seem to agree with me. Hell! It's my life if I should be allow to live as I see fit. More than the usual need to succeed. It is not nobody else's business to tell me what I want to do. As I stated before, it's my life! No one can stop me from doing what I want to do. People have been judging me, discussing about my problems in an irrelevant manner. I warn them to not be concerning around me of what I do. Leave me be! I can handle this on my own, without criticism." She ranted. "Argghh, do you ever shut up? I mean, what do you want out of life? You might as well as been unnoticed and just pretend you're all that when you're not!" Katriel demanded. Carla was quiet before turning to him with sad eyes. "Is having an unnoticed life okay with you?" asked Carla. "Wha--What?" Katriel questioned, his face softened at her ingenue self. Carla got off the swings and looked at him, "Do I need to pretend I am something that I'm not? Do I need to pose to all the people who have ever doubted me? Once all your dreams come true and you get the fame you desired, you’re left alone with your riches, totally unfulfilled." She said. Carla looked down and said, "I feel so empty; no matter how far I'll go, I'm not satisfied. I'm always searching for more and wondering why I can't be happy with what I have. I feel that I've been given a fair trade." It was one night while Katriel was with her; Carla was driving her car on one of the outer suburbs, slowly cruising through the back streets while Katriel was nodding off. Suddenly, he felt a sharp swerve and felt the car driving off the road. Katriel opened his eyes. The bumper of the car was planted against the fences and against the hood. After screeching the vehicle to a halt; Carla put the car in park and sat there before she leaped out as Katriel followed her. Carla was sitting there, sobbing until Katriel put her arms on her shoulder but Carla bent towards Katriel's lap, still crying. She clutched him close to her and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She managed to say in between tears. Later, as Katriel and Ozzy begin to have an argument; Carla attempts suicide by falling down the stairs in a chair. Kurran catches her and explains that he stopped the boys from fighting however Carla stated: “That’s not why I was trying to take my life, but I must be an idiot because I realize that I can heal fast, I wish I didn’t have these powers.” She walked away grimly. That night; Carla cannot sleep but she is startled to see Ozzy in her room. Carla is not going to listen to what he is going to say but Ozzy says that she had no right of what she did today. Carla asked if he is here to punish her and Ozzy chuckles & tells her that he wasn't sent here to murder, "What would I do without you? Go crazy? I don't think so." He remarked. Carla says that he is a bunch of crap and says that she is going to sleep. She moves away and replies that she will think about it. Ozzy turns Carla's body towards him as he leans towards her whispering: "I'm hungry for you." Carla kicks him and orders him to leave. Ozzy smirks and tells her "You'll be sorry, but someday you will have to suffer the consequences.” The next day; Katriel wakes up Carla with breakfast in bed as he attempts to cheer up. He offers to help Carla but she is not sure to trust him. Or anyone for that matter. 

Still in her downturn misery; Carla slumped on the floor of her apartment, staring at the ceiling as almost she was catatonic with dread. She would sit there with her knees bent against her chin, unable to move. In the tub; Carla is bent over, her head beneath the water between her knees. She holds her breath for an eternity before she screams as air bubbles shoot to the surface. Around in the evening; Katriel came to see Carla and saw she was on her bed so he came to join her. Not too long that he laid there; Katriel was on the side of Carla's bed, he was wearing his clothes but the only thing was his jacket was off and he had on a long sleeved shirt with two buttons undone. He looked over and saw Carla sleeping on her side, her back was to Katriel. Katriel noticed Carla was shivering, he noticed how her body was quivering so much. And how she lets out shaky breaths! "Carla? Carla?" Katriel asked, gently shaking his hand on his friend. "What is it?" Carla responds back, "Nothing. I'm fine." She said. Carla begins to sob a little when Katriel became affectionate by hugging her and keeping her close. Then, Katriel and Carla were embracing each other, shuddering and gasping while close to each other. Carla whimpered, "So...cold..." Katriel shushed her gently, “I'm right here, I'll keep you warm.” He said. That was the last thing she remembered before going to sleep. In the morning; Carla had finished cleaning up and she was starting to get things done. It was about time for lunch break when she heard something from the floor making a thumping sound underneath her feet. Carla was startled but she prepared herself. Just then, Katriel's head popped out as he panted while looking around. He sighed, "Dammit, that was close!" He and Ozzy got out from beneath. "I swear, if I see one more Wendigo; I'm gonna chop its head off!" grumbled Katriel. "Riddle me this, Katriel. Are we there yet?" said Ozzy. Katriel glares at him, "'Are we there yet?' 'Are we there yet?' Yes! We're here, if it weren't for your frigging brains I probably wouldn't get away from those bastards." He said. "Katriel, Ace…You’re late." Carla said. Katriel and Ozzy looked up to see Carla. "She thinks I'm her pet." Ozzy glares at Carla, "What is this bondage and dominant?" He snapped. "Ew, no!" Carla cried, horrified."Like hell, I'm not into that stuff. I mean, that's not love. Who takes pleasure in that?" She continued. But became serious, "So, what's going on in your neck of the woods?" asked Carla. "We're bustin' you out of this joint!" Katriel said. "Hey, who's there?" A voice called out. Two soldiers appeared; seeing Katriel and Ozzy. One of the gun men fired at them however Katriel and Ozzy deflect the bullets. Soon, more gun men appeared. During their fight against the gun men; one of them took a appendage knife gun and used it towards Carla, causing a sort of pain in her capillaries. As the sharpness piercing into her vital arteries; Carla felt pain in her as Katriel and Ozzy but are shocked to see she has a climax spasm. She was moaning softly as if she was being pleasured. "The hell--? Is she--" thought Katriel. Ozzy couldn't believe he is seeing this, "Good Lord." He said. "Wow, I never saw a girl cry out in delight over this." Ozzy remarked. "Focus, you. This isn't the time for any admiration." snapped Carla. Once Carla had been released from the piercing, she then heard something that was petrifying, a Wendigo was here! She saw the monster coming at Katriel and she ran over to protect him. She used her powers as a shield. The creature left a horrible wound on her and then killed it but she was bleeding. She was then rushed to the medic, where someone used a tourniquet to help stem the blood from oozing out. And she felt someone sewing up her arm. Once again; she begins to splutter with more passionate frenzies. But only in her head. "I--can--do--this, I--can--do--this...I just gotta focus." She thought, between gasps. When she woke up, Carla was sitting beside her. "How are you doing?" He asked. "Fine." replied Carla. "Sorry about that." It was quiet until Katriel spoke up with a question. "So...Why are you turned on by pain?" asked Katriel. "I'm not. Ever heard of taking your fears and turning them into exhilaration? That's what I'm doing." said Carla with a shrug. Ozzy scoffed. "That is weird." He remarked. Carla smiled, nodding. "Yup, but call me crazy; I think the nervousness is also a fuel for my climax gasping." She admitted. "Oh geez." Katriel said with a groan. When Carla was better, Ozzy took her out for a sparring. "Ready? Don't hold back." Ozzy taunted. Carla smiled, "Not in my nature." She said. Ozzy attacks but Carla dodges it. Ozzye tried to attack again however Carla dodge. "Geez, what's with your skills? You fight like a...." Ozzy started to say but he was punched in the face. He almost fell however he steadied his balance. Katriel let out a whoop. Carla flipped her hair back, "A girl? Puh-leeze!" She said. Ozzy coughed as he felt something in his mouth. What he pulled out was a tooth. Carla smirked at this. Ozzy looked at her with surprise, "Damn, not bad." He praised. Carla smiled brightly, showing her teeth. Carla then tousled her hair, which glowed gold in the sunlight and then, a fist was coming at him and punched him so hard that he hit the floor. "Ahhh...." He spit out another teeth and glance at Carla. "Admit it, I am awesome!" She said. Seeing Ozzy having his teeth spit up and a little blood; Katriel speaks up: "Are you crazy to participate in this? People like you will likely get in the way of your reckless bullshit." Ozzy glares at him, "Somebody's gotta stop them. And that person is me." He declared. Katriel gives him a look while saying, "You? Please, you might as well as be useless. How would you know if you would be a liability against the monsters?" Ozzy was annoyed, "Well, after training; most of us aren't inexperienced. I mean, we have new knowledge that surrounds the Carroll Family because most of us have been wiped out and here we have people like you, me and the rest. So do me a favor and shut up, because you sound like we're all going to die." He declared. Then, Ozzy paused enough to sneer at Katriel and say: "Maybe it's because you're scared of the Wendigos." Katriel got mad, "What was that?" He demanded. He approached Ozzy, who said to him with a dark smirk on his face: "You are nothing to anyone. You wouldn't stand a chance; you'll probably pissed yourself out of fear." Katriel is about to beat him however he stops himself and asked, "You'd ever seen how these monsters reproduce?" Ozzy looked at him, "What?" He asked. "Do they have a female mound or a male shaft? Hmm? No, you don't see it, it's like with a cat, you can't exactly tell if they are either a male or female species. It's left ambiguous, so how is there so many of them? Tell me that." Katriel quipped. "What? You think I'm stupid? I've seen many of them, maybe not in person but I can't tell what kind of gender they are. Besides, someone like you shouldn't talk big for saying shit like this, spoiled brat." Ozzy taunted. Katriel then mocked him saying, "You know what? Same goes for you, I heard that some guy was pretty messed up by how he lost his wife….Your own mother, boy what a momma’s boy." Ozzy got angry, "BASTARD!!!" He exclaimed and the two nearly got into a fight. Carla try to break them apart however Ozzy, in his anger, didn’t know his own strength for he accidentally put a hand through Carla’s chest. Hard. Carla immediately collapsed to the floor, Katriel and Ozzy are shocked by this. However, to their surprise; Carla rose back like a normal person but noticed their staring. “Why are you guys looking at me like that?” She demanded. “Carla…Is that you? What happened to you?” Katriel uttered. “Good God, I…I’m sorry, I’m sorry…I didn’t know!” claimed Ozzy. Confused; Carla rushed to the mirror and saw the cause of the distress. Her lips were burnt to a deep shade of red. Her face was turned into a pure white color, and her hair looked like it was scorched. She slowly put her hands to her shoulders. Carla looked back at the boys then back at the mirror. “Carla, you don’t look that bad….” Katriel started to say. “What do you mean? I’m beautiful.” Whispered Carla. The boys were equally surprised. Mesmerized by her reflection, she struggles to get to her feet.  Once up, something strikes inside her as being darkly funny—this caused Katriel and Ozzy to become nervous. What they could see is that Carla is in all white except her black hair and eyes. Her arms are seeping with fresh blood from the huge wound in the place of her chest is, which has blood running from it. Her new appearance was shining brightly in the light. Something dawn on her as being absolute insanity and Carla stands in the light, shrieking with laughter.

In the meantime of the present; Satoshi received an email, through Bonnie’s email address, that was addressed to her and clicked on the link, Bonnie excused herself as Satoshi watched the image. Soon; Tate and the others came in and were shocked to see a court trial run by Mora and her Nightmarchers. The one as the criminal on the stand all strapped, bloodied and angry was Sakiware Hiroki: 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. By the end, Andrea’s face appeared while screaming as she startled Satoshi: “THE FAIRY TALE THAT HAUNTS ME HAS COME TRUE!” Satoshi is shaken as her friends and comrades comforted her. In the meantime; Andrea and her sisters had kidnapped a family of cannibals, they tied up the family and begin their torture by the father waking up to see his family in bloodied bandages, his wife came in to be brainwashed as she became the maid. The wife serves the family their own torned off faces and Andrea held up a flamed match with a small fire on it. “Dear family, this is your last meal together, welcome to your own hell after your kidnapping and torture towards innocent lives.” She said. And thus; fire was starting to spread as Andrea and her sisters watch the flames engulfed the house with the residents inside however the Carroll family was outside the house as they watched the embers covering the manor. Kitty and Polly were babbling incoherently and great amount of noises. The next day; an agent burst in, startling Emily and the others, with some terrible news: “QUICK! Turn on the TV, it’s Edom Hiroki--! He….Sakiware….their father Kotamei…their on the screen, broadcasting about dominating the city!” As soon as she heard that, Emily turned on the huge TV screen and then there he was—the Devil himself! Edom Hiroki, his father Kotamei and Edom’s mouthy brother Sakiware were there. “Oh my god!” Bonnie gasped. “Greetings world, I am your nemesis. I am your champion, I am your savior. Hell, I am the Head of the Hiroki Clan. I believe you should fear me as well as the great Hiroki clan. You see, I’m dominating this city. I will have no other choice but to divide and conquer this city once and for all. You see…I, Edom Hiroki, am going to change the world and will destroy anyone who dares to intervene. I will remove obstacles in my path. If you are weak, you will die. But if you are strong, you will survive. It is the way of the Hiroki clan. If you cannot accept that, then we will have no choice but to bring to your knees and make you an example. Your foolish attempts cannot outwit any of us. If you are wise, I suggest you stand down and surrender. For we will annihilate all of the monsters and all of those involved with one corporation: The Dream State Agency.” Edom announced. Shocked was all around, Emily gritted her teeth. “Oooh! That bastard!” She muttered. Edom continued, “Now, you will tell me where Emily Grynte is as well as her allied forces or they will be consequences. Speak up, where is the agency? Anyone? If you do, bring me to their location.” He waited but no one dared speak a word. “Come now or die, speak up now.” All of a sudden, one of the soldiers of Edom Hiroki’s men begin to convulsed and eviscerated amongst the people, which they reacted in shock. And then, there was a psychotic giggle that stunned the Hiroki clan and their soldier, a silvery voice with hints of brittle madness in her tone of voice spoke, “Did you hear what they just said?...They said the Hiroki family will be on top of the food chain once again…I heard that they’re ruthless…I heard that they hate weaklings and they believe only the ‘strong’ will survive….I heard that they lack kindness that Tate Kyan and the others have…I heard that the Hiroki family are vile monsters than the Wendigos….I heard….” Edom, Sakiware, and Kotamei  turned to look downward as they could see Andrea in a faux fur coat that reached to her knees. And she wore brown shoes. She finished her sentence concluding with, “…That they have prideful egos.” Kotamei was surprised by the sight of her. Sakiware stood up, exclaiming: “She’s here! The Witch has finally arrived!” Andrea snickers, “You remember me! I’m so touched! Hee-hee! You think you’ll be the ones to wipe out every single person with imperfections and dominant this world? I have to disagree on that notion. The only one who will divide and conqueror—is me.” She said. And then, she giggles in a deranged manner. “I don’t know what you want out of this but this could be easier without a fuss.” Edom said. Andrea sneered at him, “We want your blood, Hiroki!” She declared. Edom looked at her, “My blood?” He asked. Andrea grinned excitedly, “That’s right, yours! Your father’s and brother’s red plasma! A half pint, I’m talking gallons, baby!” She said happily. “Our blood? Ha! You would get our blood on you? You think you can destroy us, you’ll get dirty things on your clothes. Won’t you get yourself unclean? What’s underneath that coat of yours?” Kotamei said. “Oh, how rude of me! I forgot to remove my coat.” Andrea said mockingly. She seductively took off her coat as Edom, his brother and father were very shocked to see Andrea resembled Masara in her clothing. She wore a dark red off-the-shoulder dress and high heeled black shoes. Her long hair in ringlets. Andrea begins to prance around with a sneer on her face, “The magnificent…marvelous…Mad, mad, mad—Mad Andrea has arrived!” She affirmd and laughed dramatically. “How dare you resemble Masara! She was the successor to our family name and yet you mock her!” Kotamei said. “Mocking her? I’m honoring her, she’s so beautiful! Just like her sweet little sister, Minako.” Andrea said. “It’s a lie, there is nothing wrong with you.” Sakiware claimed. “That’s so sweet of you to say, but you of all people should know by now…There’s plenty wrong with me. Take you bastards for example…Mmmm, I would say Mr. Edom there. I wish somebody would be aware of him…This guy’s a real hoot isn’t he?”  Andrea claimed. “Why should we care?” Kotamei snapped. “Because…Your sonny boy is guilty of crimes against humanity….He had been verbally oppressing. He believes only the strongest will survive and the weak will die, killing sacrificial humans in the process. But wait, there’s the accusations against Kamoku…Then, the brutal interrogations and the torture against my dear boys…Peyton and Evan! I swear, I’m obsess with those two, after what Edom did! UGH!!!! IF I SEE THAT SCENE ONE MORE TIME, I’LL STRING HIM UP AND DROP HIM IN THE DRAIN!!!!” Andrea hollered. She let out a laugh. Andrea sneered at him, “I’m a pretty messed up girl and can’t be taken for granted. Life’s a bitch, now so am I!” She snarled. “You must really hate us so much.” Sakiware remarked, smirking at her. Andrea pretends to be shocked, “You mean you figured it out? Why else would I do this? I’m obsessed with the mess that’s the Hiroki family…The 21 Guns Navy’s kiddos! But mostly my adversary against the Hiroki family!” She said. She then exclaimed: “I HATE THE HIROKI CLAN!!! I HATE! THE HORRIBLE! WHOLESOME! HIROKI FAMILY!!!! I HATE THEM, I HATE THEM! HATE, HATE, HATE!!!!!” She stopped and looked up before smiling slowly. “Ah, she’s here--! I’ll leave you alone with her…Exit stage right.” Andrea announced. She swiftly steps away to the side and there she was: Abigail Carroll standing there. She looked up to have orange-yellow eyes glowing which horrified everyone, even the Hiroki family! A slow smile appeared on Abigail’s face. She wore a lilac-colored strapless gown which was a floor length puffy skirt. The material of the dress was lustrous smooth silk that was very tender to touch and her hair is straighten with no strands sticking up. “No…It can’t be!” Kotamei muttered. Abigail slowly wiggled her fingers while also curtsying before them and walks to them. As she made her way up to the stairs where the Hiroki clan is; visions of Abigail is seen before them: First, there was an innocent child of Abigail. The second was of Abby as an awkward teen. The third was another one of her in a beautiful gown for prom. The fourth showed of Abigail as a teen in her prom dress, but covered in disgusting liquids as well as blood. And she had an insane look in her eyes. And finally, it showed her present self. Just then; Edom, his father and his brother are thrown into their chairs! The three of them were bound to their seats; they struggle in their seats but they couldn’t! Just then, they heard giggles as click clack sounds of heels. Mirani and the other girls appeared as they were looking crazy yet beautiful to not glance away! Ebony wore a hot pink skirt, matching short sleeved vest, a fully lined dark purple  bodice, and light pink ruffled bloomers underneath. Kanara wore a black halter dress fitted with a satin finish, skirt pantels, cropped white faux fur jacket that had black spots on it, red opera gloves and she carried a golden cane with a diamond on top. Hitomi wore a black dress with red glitter hearts embrodied on it, black and red tulle detailed skirt. On her head was a hear shaped headpiece. And Mirani was in a purple sheer ombre sleeves and around the neckline, a black high low dress, purple satin tendrils, and a black sweetheart bodice wrapped around the dress. But there were new girls as it seems: One girl in a maroon and black corset style top laced in the front with decorative straps, glovets, a choker and a belt. Her mascara was running down, her lipstick was smeared all over her mouth, and a crazed look on her face. This girl is Ashira Chika! The other girl in a knee length black high collar dress with a faux leather detail, tulle lined skirt, and a choker with a purple brooch. Her eyes are lined in thick makeup making her look like a raccoon, her dark purple nails and scarlet lips. Her name is Maria Akizuki. Both girls were wearing knee high boots—Ashira’s boots were maroon straps and Maria’s boots have purple straps. Hands were placed on Edom’s throne, Edom turned around to see the frenetic glance on her lovely face sneering at him. “Well, well, well! What have we here? Edom Hiroki, huh? Ooooh--! I’m really scared!” She said mockingly. “So you’re the one everybody’s talking about huh!” Mirani laughed like a lunatic. Hitomi skips around Kotamei as she chants, “You’re joking, you’re joking! I can’t believe my eyes, you gotta be—this can’t be the right guy! He’s ancient, he’s ugly!” The other girls giggled and squealed in delight! “Release us or else you’ll face dire consequences!” Sakiware demanded. Ashira sauntered towards Sakiware, “God! Would someone shut this bastard up?! I’m drowning in my tears! You really are too much!” She saddled upon his lap and undid her top a little to show her cleavage and bare skinned breasts a little. “And now with your permission, I’m going to do my stuff.” Ashira purred, she pulled out a switchblade. Sakiware stares at her with terror in his eyes. “What the hell are you going to do?” He managed to say. “I’m going to do the best I can!” Ashira replied in a passionate, sultry tone of sensuality in it. “I’ll cut your clothes off, I’ll tear them up and you like a BRAZEN BULL!!!” She said while using the switchblade at him furiously, she made tears and rips at him however she stops as she sneered while saying, “Better keep your clothes on toots.” And gets off his lap while walking away. “Release us now or you will deal with my army!” Edom threatened. “Oh geez, you are something! You put me in a spin, Hiroki! You my friend aren’t comprehending the position that you’re in. It’s hopeless, Edom. You and everyone else here are finished, you people haven’t got a prayer! I’m Andrea Carroll and you ain’t going nowhere!” She confirmed, and laughed. “That’s why everything…” Maria started to say. Hitomi also chimes in, “…Every last little thing…” Mirani pipes up, “…Every. Single. Tiny. Microscopic. Little thing. Must go….” And all of them concluded with, “According. To Plan!” They beamed with pride. “Die…die…we all pass away…Don’t wear a frown, it’s really OK….really. You might try to hide, and you might try and pray. But we all end up the remains of the day.” Mora said. 

Maria then said, “Got a question for you….Would you die for your family? Would you live for them? Hmm? See two questions…left unanswered….” Emily and the others realize Maria and Ashira look familiar! But they realize those girls are from that one previous mission. However, the two girls looked different. Ashira was in a spandex dress of a blue and white plaid top, with buttons down the entire front. The top is also short-sleeved. The bottom was a brown skirt. She wore two white ribbons to tie around the neck, under the collar. And Maria wore a white shirt with printed button details, attached plaid skirt and a bow tie. How they had something that resembled a gun to their heads and pulled the trigger, where they seemed to have died but yet here they were, still alive! Emily and the gang were shocked to realize this. In his horrified state; Peyton remembered his encounter with Ebony before she was what she became: Ebony purred at Peyton who watched her while trembling in fear, “So Peyton…You gonna follow what you’re being told….Or you gonna follow your Nightmarcher instincts…Take down Hikaru, listen to the monster inside you. You know you can handle it, my darling.” She said seductively. “I have about two questions…Would you die for your friends?” Peyton thought for a moment before saying, “I would.” Ebony realized her mistake, “That sounds suicidal…Maybe this will be better…Would you live for them?” She inquired. Peyton nodded with a smile, “Sure.” He said. Meanwhile, Evan remembered his encounter with Ashira: Evan felt Ashira behind him, “Come on, Evan. You want to do it. You know you do….You’re going to let that Hiroki bastard go and do what he wants…Think about your sister, he might do the same to others…Even to you…” Currently with Andrea and the girls’ catastrophe; Andrea appeared in a purple jacket with coat tails, a yellow shirtfront corset, black vest and a bowtie with pinstripe purple pants. And Mora appeared in a red and black top, white skirt, a red and white ruffled choker, a nurse headpiece, a black eye mask, red and black glovelets with a belt. “So, here are your choices….” Andrea said in a seductive voice while behind Edom, struggling in his bounds. Andrea poised the scalpel at his eyes while she said, “….We can gouge your cruel eyes out….” She brought the scalpel away as she said, “…Or do we cut out your heart...?” as she finished while purring and pointed the scalpel to his chest, “…That is, assuming you have one.” Grinning from ear to ear; Mora came behind Sakiware, who glared at her with his eyes as she looked down at his jeans, “Let's get rid of Mr. Happy, so he can't hurt Ms. Sweetie anymore. And, by the way, Mr. Happy is looking very teeny right now.” She said and then giggles. Sakiware looked at Mora in disbelief, he then got angry. “Boy, this reminds me the thrilling spasm over Mikael the Bastard’s murder. How humiliated I was, how all the scum called my classmates laughed at me…As I watched the monster’s head torn off with my powers, I knew I'd done the right thing….I knew it was a new beginning….There was actually moisture trickling down my leg.....Mikael made me splurge after all.” From the rooftop; Michael, Hayato, Stephanie, Prisca, Hikaru and Kanchan watched the chaos unfold but the one who was engrossed in the scene, she felt her heart pulsating in her chest. Goosebumps ran up and down her body, her fingers near her small yet soft lips that trembled by the anxiousness and the thrilling sensation of Andrea and her girls causing havoc. Michael noticed Lily shaking like a lifea, “Aww, you poor princess. Trembling so much like a dog. Here, let me warm you up.” He said in a sickly sweet voice while putting his arms around her however Lily shifted away, “I’m fine.” She said. “I’m not cold.” She got a little closer to the edge of the roof, her right foot taps constantly. It wasn’t until Michael and the others noticed there was something wrong with her: Lily’s hair was slightly pink, she looked more thinner and buxom as her feet was curvy and sculpted. Lily looked down as Hayato placed his hands on her slender shoulders as he said to her, “You see, it’s crazy what people do…You cannot. Escape. The madness.” Lily turned to him with a smirk, “Actually…I can!” She declared. Lily climbed to the edge and jumped from the roof before anyone can stop her! At this moment, Lily pulled out a box cutter and sliced her hand, she whisper: “Get me out of this avalanche…” The wise man used his powers from behind the puzzle door as Lily was glided to the streets safely without being seen! It was at this point, her Moneta she had with her was acting up and saw something that she recorded on accident which was Edom whispering to Andrea, saying: “Oh don’t worry, I’ll take care of the weakest fool of New Americana--Gideon Sullivan. I must say, I’d played that idiot’s games so much because he asked me too! He’s nothing more than a wealthy slacker.” Lily was stunned and smiled to herself: “Gotcha, you bastard!” She murmured. At that moment of that scene; Lily felt that loud, noisy sound she so despised that became easily disoriented but begins to feel a meltdown rising from inside. However, something happened to Lily: The pink tint replaced her original hair color, her face has veiny splinters around her eyes, her nose and ears begins to bleed. However she felt someone behind him and looked to see who it was. “Gentlemen, do not worry. We’ll have you fixed in no time.” Gideon said, brandishing a needle and came closer to her when there was a loud pop sound that made Lily cringed as well as cause Gideon to curse. Then; Lily looked up to see a girl with long, stringy black hair that was unwashed and wet. Her complexion was ghastly pale that made her undeathly gorgeous, frail and petite young lady as she wore a black shroud with her hood down. Her lips were thin and pale pink but her eyes were sad-looking and focused. The girl seized Lily as they escaped together! “STOP HER!!!” Gideon exclaimed. The girl leads Lily away as she helps her escape. “This way, hurry!” The girl said to Lily. And off they went! Cherie was in town when she discovered an abandoned Moneta and took a look to see it was in perfect condition. That’s when Cherie saw the memory on the Moneta and she was shocked to discover what she saw of her attackers, and the person responsible. She found Lily and confronts her until Lily became irrationable and admits the truth. Cherie demands to know, “I DID IT ALL FOR YOU, CHERIE!!!” She stopped and begins to cry, “…Those people….they said awful things after they attacked you!” Cherie stares at her with sympathy before giving her a hug. And then, it was silent but not for long. “Promise me you won’t do that again.” Cherie said to her. Lily nodded, “I promise.” She declared. Just then, Cherie whirled her head around as she called out: “Who’s there? I saw you! Where did you come from?” Later; Emily and the gang managed to stop Andrea and her girls from doing anymore damaged to Edom Hiroki, his brother and father—unexpectedly rescuing them while also letting them get away. Andrea is shocked by the sight of Emily’s boys. “Andrea…” Kamoku said solemnly. Andrea and the girls are agaped at the guys as they all cried out joyfully in synced: “PUDDIN’!!!” Emily and the others were confused, stunned by what she just said. “’Puddin’? What the hell?” Tsubaki said. 

Just then at an instant; Andrea has her claws on Ryker, Hitomi kidnapped Minato, Ashira has Arlow as her captive, Mirani took Kamoku as prisoner, Ebony has Peyton as her hostage, Mora captured Evan, Maria abducts Onorato and Kanara snatched Tsubaki. “Gotta go—Pillow talk with Ol’ Glory!” snarled Andrea. She and the girls dragged their captured prisoners! Emily was horrified as she follows them but soon lost sight of them  so she decides to call for back up—her friends! It was at this point that these girls had absorbed powers of the Wendigos and were becoming insatiable to their cravings but they were careful not to kill their captives: Andrea goes down and eats the torn, bleeding flesh just by the nibble, Ryker moans while his head inclined up. Her lips were making soft smack sounds as she intakes air while her tongue took action at the blood. Ryker was just bending backwards as Andrea’s tongue goes to work, while watching his body twisting and shivering. Andrea will eat it from the skin and she's gonna eat it anyway. Andrea spreads her legs, while she is sucking his blood. Ryker thought he would go crazy because she eats it like a wild animal. He leans back while she eats blood from there, spread apart the fleshy parts and suck on the blood. The juiciness of it was like a smoothie! Andrea was causing him to sweat with her sucking skills and Ryker will be dripping wet of red when she’s done. Struggling to fight it; Ryker is gripping the bed sheets and having muscle contractions in pain. Meanwhile; Ebony moans in pleasure, "I'll be gentle but boy if you don't!" She begin to gyrate upon Peyton while causing his body and mind to twist and turn by the nightmare going on inside his head while she moaned: "OH MY GOD!!! I'M COMING!!!" Peyton saw the monsters in his head as he screamed, "AAAAAH!!!!!!" Ebony liked to him scream: "YES! YES! YES! Oh my God, oh my God! Oh, Oh, Oh, OH OH! OOOOKKKOOOOOH! ALRIGHT! ALIRHFT.....!!!!!" Peyton was struggling to get away from the nightmare in his head while Ebony moaned as she said, "HOLY SHIT, I'M SO HIGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! BREATHE ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....." Peyton whimpered softly while Ebony smirked down at him as she said, "Hnnnnghhh...You like it like this baby boy~? God, I feel so alive! OOOOOOHHHHH, I FEEL ALIVE!!!! DON'T STOP, DON'T STOP!!! I'M COMING.....I'M COMING!!!! AUHAHA! OH LORD, I THINK I'M....I'M FEELING IT!!!! I DON'T WANT TO FEEL IT, BUT I AM.....MAKE IT STOP!!!! NO, DON'T!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!" Peyton was horrified as his mind was violated and scarred from the monsters torturing him as Ebony shouted in between pleasurable moans, "I'M FEELING IT!!!! I'M FEELING IT!!!! I'M FEELING IT!!!!" Finally, she stopped and sighed, it was over as Ebony managed to say: "....I just came....I have arrived at my desired location." And let out a scary laugh! In the meantime; Mora is grinding against Evan, as her hands were roaming his bloodied and bruised body. She soon moaned his name. Mora slowly moved down the bed, pulling Evan's restraints apart gently and leaning in, starting to lick at his bloodied wound. "Don't worry, I'll be very gentle, just endured this longer, please..." She spoke quietly, biting her lip as she looked down at Evan, before he let out a quiet gasp of horror. Mora was slowly licking up and down along his wound, and gently pushing a finger into it, while her other hand was by it, slowly rubbing it. Evan let out quiet moans of pain, as Mora's tongue was pushed inside of him, making him squirm from the pleasure of it. "You taste good, love..." Came Mora's slightly muffled voice, as she slowly moved her tongue around inside of Evan, a second finger following the first into his wound, both of them pushing in deep. Mora was loving the taste of him, never wanting this to end. She smirked softly, and reached into the drawer beside her, slowly pulling out an item as she continued. "Morena, what are you doing...?" Evan demanded. Mora had pulled away slightly to speak, panting as he did so, before he heard a faint buzzing sound, and felt something long and thick slowly, teasing slide into his dripping wound. Evan let out a gasp, and squirmed where he lay, biting his tongue, as the large cattle prod was pushed inside of him, and his wound was attacked by Mora's mouth, it being kissed, sucked on, and bit lightly, over and over again. "MORENA~!" Evan half screamed out her name, his quivering body squeezing around the weapon, feeling her actions take affect fast. Mora decided that Evan needed more, and buried her face in his scar, and moaned softly, her tongue being pushed deep inside, three fingers following suit, and getting slammed into the scar; making Evan squirm and moan, as he was squirming from her small fingers, his wound being stretched and thrust into deeply with each movement, as Mora turned the prod up to max, slamming it in deep, once, twice, and then one final time, before Mora gave a shudder and came, letting out a scream of pleasure. "Evan~!" Was the only word that left her mouth, as she bit down lightly on Evan’s skin, tugging on it. For the time being; it got even more scarier: "Are you ready?" asked Ashira with a smile. "For what?"  Arlow inquired nervously. “A good time.” She said as she licks lips. Arlow is scared, but Ashira grins even wider. "All riggggghhhht. Let the sucking begin! So feel the kiss..." She wraps her mouth around his wound on his and begins to moan, while sucking as she closed her eyes as she said in between breaths: "I see someone is a little thirsty today. hehe, don't worry, you'll be wet once I’m done with you~~!"  She loudly moans, placing a hand on his head. She continued to suck, moan and breathes while Arlow was panicking. "Hehehe, I see someone is anxious~alrighty, you'll get your share~" She pushes him down, lifting leg up, slowly bringing face to wound however Arlow hits her with all of his might. But she didn't feel pain, instead Ashira takes her hand off leg, smirking while grasping his hand. "Ooooh, I see how it is, I like this side of you. Shows dominance in you~!" She said. And then bites his skin, fondling with the side of his flesh. Arlow gasps out of horror, "Ohhhh....!" Ashira starts to suck, then licks seductively. "Would you like it to hurt, or make it pleasurable? After all, I don't want to hurt you." She licks the flesh and playing with it. "Oh, I see~! You want me to do something eh? Alright, how about this~?" She proceeds to pinch both joints and kisses his neck, grinding against Arlow, "I see you've been wet for a while, but I think we can do one more thing with this body of yours." She said while sucks on the blood. Ashira moans, fondling his skin, but she stops the grinding, proceeds to caress his clothed body, slowly moving to the sprained yet slightly bleeding wound, and runs fingers up and around his legs, then she kissed him, slowly moving the fingers downwards. Ashira licks lips, going deeper, feeling the tight walls from the inside. "I can tell you've been wet for a while. Oh geez Louise, it’s like a cave in here mmm, but shit, that makes it even better." She adds another finger, grasping his skin hard in the process, "I figured you get a trick and a treat today~!" She moaned out.  Ashira stops licking, "Mmm, hell yeah I am. And just remember, you are MINE. and I'm going to take you, and there's nothing you can do about it!" She leans in again, but not before grabbing his legs and raising them in the air, then sticks tongue into abdominal area on Arlow’s backside. Ashira was twirling her tongue inside, staring at his pained face, moans, then slowly sets his legs down. She moans and gasps while takes tongue out of his wound while sneering, "Oh I'll make you come to me alright. It'll be a raging river down there~! Just you wait...." Ashira quipped softly. Ashira takes three fingers and shoves them inside then bites his lip as the fingers slowly increase their speed. She starts to pant as she grinds her against his body, then starts to quicken the pace, feeling his insides twitching in pain, "I am going to make you fall, I will, hell yeah...." She moaned, "You little bastard~! Your lovely lesions will be wet of blood. I'm going to mess you up…..You! It’s you! Hell yeah I know who you are!” Ashira whispered while she salivates his wound up and down in masterful strokes, tasting the wet and sweet scar he had there. Ashira is kissing and feeling the softness and frailness of his bruised neck. She runs soft hands up and down his arms, trying to warm him after the terrors he saw before she kisses his wound once more, admiring the wetness and frailness of it. Ashira licks the wound again, this time adding saliva, the substance dripping onto the floor. “No stops, ass-hat, shithead….Hm, maybe calling you ‘shithead’ is a little too much~ how about... wet little baby? Mmm, shit you taste so good. That shower of light was nice to you…And what I noticed beforehand is that you didn't wait for me in that shower, you helped yourself you little shit, that must show you're really horny.” She sucks the wound, allowing saliva to drip down once again, “Yeah, take my saliva you little son of a bitch~ shit this is so good you got me even hornier with your dirty talk. Tell me what you want me to say, beg for me….Ooooh yeah, this tastes so good. hmm, I wonder...” She said. Then; Ashira gives playful smirk, sucking on her index finger and making it drip with saliva, before forcing finger into wound: “Oooh, shit you're so tight.” She fondles his skin in the meantime, occasionally making the finger slither" around inside. Ashira bites the wound, now drawing blood, then sticks tongue inside wound and releases saliva inside and all over, then licks it up, “Mmm, tasty~!” She runs hands up and down body, licking his cheek in the process. Ashira grinds against him, gently however, then licks his to neck, “Now listen here you little bitch, you're going to splurge this blood for me and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. You're gonna be puddy in my hands understand? Now, let's get started~!” She grasps both his shoulders, fondling and tightly squeezing them, then kisses you, grinding against him faster and harder. I want you to squirt a little bit of blood, you hear me? You're a dirty little bastard, and no matter how clean you get, you'll always be dirty~! I can tell with how much you squirm and moan and beg!”  She ignores his pleas, only quickening the grinds, then kisses him just as she splurges as well, “You got it bad boy….” Ashira licks the wetted and bleeding wound, tasting the dripping liquid and licking it dry and clean, “Dirty little son of a bitch, look at the mess you made!” Arlow tries to escape however Ashira pins him down, biting his ear, and started to gyrate upon him with as much force as she could muster, “I'm pretty pumped myself. What do you say we get wet like the ocean~?” Ashira said with a smirk. Arlow groans out of breath, but Ashira moans loudly, grinding even faster and rocking harder, moaning and whispering cuss words: “Aww hell, it’s so good…I practice just for that my little babycakes…” Kitty and Polly watched nearby, absent-minded by the entire scene as they giggled aimlessly into madness. 

At the same time; Lily was busy writing as usual when she heard some sort of commotion so she decides to stop for a moment and leave her room quietly. She snuck out of her room and went closer, careful not to make a sound as she tiptoed and got near a pillar as she moves behind it. Michael and Hayato conversing with Evita, this struck as odd to Lily—What was she doing there? That’s when Evita shakes her had and looked horrified as those two bastards were trying to advance on her while she resisted vigorously. But it’s just no use! At this point; Michael starts to get into the moment by biting Evita’s neck in his mouth. Evita screams in terror, but Michael put his hand around her and squeezed her waist. “God! You make me want to eat you!!!!” He moaned, he continued to bite as Evita breathed almost lightly. She tries to squirm away but Hayato was on her other side, “Leave this side to me.” He said. Hayato uses her both hands pulling the straps of her dress off, and gets his tongue into her shoulder. Evita leans her head back, moaning and screaming, she panted. Michael takes hr hand and put it over her neck to give it some attention, while eating her out from the wound he was creating. Evita moaned and screamed, however Hayato pull her right shoulder and sucks on it in his mouth. Evita closed her eyes and rock further and further. "Shit.....Shit...." She cussed. Michael then pushed his fingers into the wound he was creating while opening it up other hand, he was sucking and leaving her panting. Blood was oozing out. Michael keeps his lustfully slobbering her wounds, he was very gently as he massaged the flesh and Hayato brushes her hair and caress her back. Petrified; Lily watched the scene unfold right before her eyes, she then felt a psychic link and could see what Andrea & the other girls were doing to poor Ryker and the others. It was like it switched to Michael and Hayato’s lustful bite torment over Evita, this is where Lily couldn’t take it anymore and let out a howl that felt like shook the whole room! And that’s when she dropped to her knees, she let out a whimper as she nearly fainted. Evita put her arms around the catatonic Lily, “Lily? Lily, oh my god! I’m so sorry…I didn’t know you were there.” She said while consoling her. While snapping out of it; Lily pulled out an over-sized perfume bottle style pendant features a quilted design with sparkly crystal detailing and is engraved around her neck. She unscrewed the top and pour the substance from the bottle onto her hand, she pulls out a knife and cuts her hand open. She said these exact words, “I call upon my friends from behind the puzzle door….FIGHT WITH ME NOW!!!” She nearly passed out. However, Lily managed to get up when Michael and Hayato  tries to do the same to Evita. Just then; a raspy yet deep throated voice interrupted, “Well, well! If it isn’t Michael Tanaka, Neville’s old friend…A child trespasser…a man of manipulation and just tormented Lady Lily, our dear friend.” Michael and Hayato turned to see who it was: “Who are you?” Hayato asked. The voice laughed, “Really? You never  heard of the marvelous Professor Ploome, have you?” He asked. Michael, Hayato and the rest were in shock as Lily smiled gleefully. In the meantime; Ryker and the other guys were still alive but covered in bite marks, bruises and bleeding wounds. Andrea and the girls were laughing at their suffering, but they were interrupted by a startling pop sound that made everyone’s heads turned. “WHO’S THERE AND HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?!” demanded Andrea. A deep yet commanding voice then said with lightness in his tone, “Don’t tell me you never heard of me.” Andrea and the girls squinted their eyes as they were then terrified at what they saw. “OH NO!!!!!” Mora screamed, backing away. “NO, IT CAN’T BE!!!” Andrea screamed. The voice then said as he approached, “That’s right! It’s me, Reverend Grene.” Screaming, the girls try to leave however they bumped into someone! Shocked with fear; Andrea and the other girls turned around slowly as they recognized the man. “You’re…you’re…C—col—colonel—Colonel Mustert!” Andrea said weakly. A voice that sounded so charming and virile boomed throughout the room: “So, you heard of me. Do me a favor….GET YOUR FILTHY CLAWS AND BLOOD STAINED LIPS OFF THESE BOYS, NOW!!!” The girls backed away until they saw someone in the light while his silhouetted shadow fell upon the girls. “OH GOD!!!” Mirani exclaimed. “M—M—M—MR. W—W—WEI---WEISS!?” stammered Hitomi. It was then a voice of light and nostalgic called out happily: “SURPRISE!!!! Happy to see me?” Andrea realized a revelation come upon her, “It was you…you were involved in killing Rhea’s boys! Didn’t go after Rhea huh. She died of a slow and painful death.” She recounted. “Yes, they did not so nice things. And I’ll do the same to you so GET OUT!!!” exclaimed Mr. Weiss. The crazy females were freaked out as they were running away and shouting: “Make them go away! Make them go away! MAKE THEM GO AWAY!” Once the girls were gone; Reverend Grene turned to Emily and the others, “Are you OK?” He asked. Emily nodded with a smile in his direction. “Yes, thank you.” She said. “You saved us, we owe you a lot.” Ryker replied. Grene smiled, “It’s no trouble.” He replied. Professor Ploome’s deep throated voice called out, “Sorry. I’m terribly late aren’t I? I was taken care of business.” He appeared as the light shone down on the figures in the shadows. Emily and the gang got a better look at who they were: Professor Ploome wore high waisted black pants, long sleeved lilac shirt, a dark purple blazer jacket and black slick shoes. Reverend Grene wore a green jacket with a gold trim, brown pants, black shoes and a lime green long sleeve shirt underneath tucked in his trousers. Colonel Mustert wore a long sleeved cashmere jacket all ribbed at the hem and wrist cuffs. He has on slim fitted black wool trousers and shoes with round toe area, lace up front on the top of his shoes. Mr. Weiss wore a stylish white blazer with buttons at the front and pockets on the front. He also had on a matching button down shirt, grey trousers and brown shoes. And there was only one woman there: She wore a a full-length one-shoulder red dress, a matching strip-belt and an elastic waistband. Kamoku recognized the woman, “You’re that woman from Lily’s fantasy world…Mis—miss—Miss Scar…lock?” He guessed. The woman smiled, “Yes, hello Kamoku. Glad you remember me.” She said. That’s when Emily gasped as she pointed over the gang’s shoulders while saying, “There he is, the wise man!” Heads turned to see a figure approaching and a voice said while stepping into the light, “I forgot to introduce myself…I’m Boden Blackburn.” He is wearing a high-waisted navy gray and white striped suit. Underneath it he wears a white button up shirt and a tie with wide horizontal stripes in white. Once then; Andrea and the girls returned in the forms of banshees, harpies and Furies as they were about to attack when they scream in pain by slash wounds on them. They turned angrily to see who it was: Silence appeared in an overall dress with a chest pocket in the front, red buttons, striped crop top with short sleeves, and thigh high stockings with high heels. The dress was smeared in blood while holding a rifle. Andred growled in anger, “Shit! CYNTHIA!!!” She exclaimed. Mora sighed, “Damn…” She muttered. Silence was moving swift as she rescued Ryker, Kamoku and the other guys. Emily and the girls came in to assist, they were shocked to see Silence. “Good to see you, girl.” Emily greeted. “What’s up?” Kamoku shouted, he was about to hug Silence but she dodged out of the way. Kamoku nearly fell  as he slipped a bit, “What? You don’t like hugs?” He asked. “She doesn’t like to be touched, Kam.” Emily stated. Silence looked at Kamoku, mutely giving him an apologetic look. Tsuabaki put a hand on her shoulder, “Thanks for saving us back there.” He said. Silenced nodded and she looked at his hand. Then; Silence twists Tsubaki’s wrist for awhile, she saw the pained look on his face and lets go. “Ouch.” Tsubaki muttered. “Whoa!” Kamoku remarked. “Told ya, she doesn’t like to be touched.” Said Emily. “Not very smart huh guys.” Ryker stated. “Shut up, Smallberry!” Arlow rebuked. Emily gave Ryker and Arlow a glare, “C’mon guys—I don’t have time for this shit!” She said. Everyone managed to quiet down, not wanting to provoke her wrath any further and hell; it’s been a long night. Silence watched Emily in amazement but turned her attention to the monsters of Wendigos doth approached! As if she was ready for this; Silence loaded her sniper rifle with bullets and aimed high at the Wendigos before shooting down the crawling monsters. Boy, this girl was quick for be on her toes but they don’t call her the Perfect Sniper Assassin for nothing! “Damn, she’s good! Faster than a cat…a cheetah…or any other wild feline. Who the hell is this girl? Where did Darko Maverick found her?” thought Carla. Silence continues to help Emily Grynte and the others fight the monsters!


Just then, Lily appeared with pink hair glowing, her complexion resembled a deathly pallor, dark circles under her pretty eyes, purple lips, and her clothes looked different. She wore a pastel pink afternoon dress with embroidered floral detail, pink silk ribbon and a sheer lace beaded cover. Emily was shocked, “Lily? Is that you?” She asked. Lily took a step back, “Don’t come any closer, I don’t want you to get involved! I’m a freak of nature, aren’t I?” She warned. “What is this matter with you sweetie?” Emily asked. “DON’T INTERVENE!!!!” Lily shrieked. With that, she and her allied forces turned as they disappeared into the mist. Emily was speechless at what she saw. She never knew her once sweet friend would turn into an insane being. But how did she become this way? That’s something she was going to find out for sure! Later on; Emily stormed into the building and entered the room where Darko Maverick awaited for her arrival. Behind Emily was her gang of allies who watch her in concern at the rage she had on her face. “DARKO!!!!” Emily exclaimed, “What the hell is going on here?” Darko turned to her nervously, “You really do not want to know about that, now do you?” He asked. “What's going on with Lily? She's acting strange!” commented Emily. Darko turned to her and her friends, “I'll explain everything, but please sit.” He said politely. Emily and her friends glance at each other so they sit down as obeyed. “OK, why is Lily being this way?” Emily asked. Darko looked at her, “I believe you know.” He said. Emily stared at him, “No, I don't.” She said blankly. “Yes, you do. Why would Lily be this way to begin with?” questioned Darko. Emily was dazed by this, “Uh... I... I don't know.” She thought for a moment, thinking back on the strange things until it dawned on her and looked up at Darko Maverick in horror. Darko smiled at her, showing his teeth. “You got it.” He confirmed. Emily shakes her head, “No.” She gasped. But the images of Lily’s vendetta against Rhea, her boys, and Gideon Sullivan…It all makes sense. The memories flooding back that she wants to forget! “Say it.” Darko said. Emily swallowed as she said, “Lily...” However, she had a hard time saying it as she remembered Lily’s pink hair glowing and her eyes. Her entire appearance. She just couldn’t believe it! “Say it out loud.” Darko commanded lightly, not wanting to pressure her. Emily sighed and looked up at him as she said these words that shocked everyone: “Lily is a Fury.” Darko grinned, nodding as he replied back, “That's right.” Emily clutched her head, “Awww hell!” She groaned. “You mean, that’s why…?” Minako started to ask with a nervous look on her face, remembering what Lily did to Rhea and her boys. Darko nodded, “Yes.” He said. “I don’t understand this…” Kamoku admitted. “None of us do.” Ryker corrected. “Do you know why I asked Silence to bring you here? There’s more to Lily than you know. You see, she doesn’t remember much from her past because all that trauma shocked her so much that she suffered from it.” Darko explained. “No…She can’t be a Fury, she cannot gouge her heart out or do anything like that!” protested Emily. Darko shook his head and admitted: “She’s a different kind of Fury.” Emily was confused, “What do you mean by that?” She asked. It was then Darko told the story about Lily: “Long ago; Lily was born into a cult when she was a child and she witness death everywhere. The results caused her to go insane as she became obsessed with living longer, perhaps saving those she loved. Little did she know that she was a supernatural force ever since birth….She was born a Fury to a mother who used to be one but redeemed herself however her mother was betrayed and killed by the people she once trusted. Lily’s Fury was out of control, even as a child she had no control over it. Her Fury powers combined with temper tantrums that became violent, she never stayed in school because of her behavior. However, she finally did schooling when she enter junior high however she was a teenager by the time she entered and her Fury powers were triggered by someone who enjoyed pushing her buttons. She wanted to have friends, however constant betrayals and also the school staff as well as the principal failed to help her…There was no justice for Lily, she was broken and alone. But Gevorg saved her, helped her and she now learns the meaning of controlling herself better. But the Fury within that she thought was long gone keeps coming back…How? Not just by anger, oh no. Something more….Excitement, thrills from things that would make her happy with excitement….Nervousness…Things she memorized from the Moneta of anyone, anyone she finds interesting, would get her heart racing…Sounds strange I know but…Try not to piss her off with unexpected noises, or hurt anyone precious to her.” Darko stopped and said with a grin, “Now let’s begin your training shall we Miss Grynte?” He left as Emily and the others watched him walked away. It was then Silence shyly approached Emily and the others as she handed Minako a note, Minako smiled: “A letter for me? Oh, I think I’m blushing already!” She teased. Silence smiled back warmly as Minako opened the letter but while she read the letter; her smile faded as she looked calm. On the letter, it said that she did not read outloud however the words were written neatly as they said: “Dear Minako, I do apologize for my sisters’ behavior. I don’t blame you for all the things she did but a word of advice: Leave Andromeda, Morena, Katherine, and Pauline to me. I’ll let you face them but not you nor anyone is putting an end to this. I, alone, must stop the catastrophe my mother and sister have caused. You don’t know them like I do, they are unstable as well as fearsome and see good in my family. Sincerely yours, Silence Duguid.” By the time she was done reading, Minako saw Silence walking away. Silence sat there alone when Darko approached her as if he knew about it. He read the letter too, she could tell by this expression on his face so she looks away for she did not want to look at his scolding face. “Silence, I don’t think the agents are going to heed this. They’re on their own path to stop them and put an end to their madness. You can’t be the one always trying to stop your mother and sisters.” Darko pointed out. Silence didn’t say anything, she looked at him but glanced away again. Darko sighs, “Look, Cynthia…I know Abigail and your sisters had a hard life but what happened to them was not your fault. Artem may have told you as a promise however his own demons to deal with: The fear of death, how he was forced into the horrendous experiments his father caused…How much he wants to succeed in immortality, to keep humanity from extinction. A man crazed with the idea of resurrection is seen as a fool however what they don’t know is the ‘fool’ is a man of grief and guilty.” He explained. Later on, Darko gave Emily a white outfit of a gown to wear. And she did, but it was part of a training to control her powers and used her abilities to test her limits as she struck a captured Wendigo in the waist as she pushed her hand further. Emily bit her lip, she try harder as Darko watched with amazement. “Wow, you’re a natural.” He said. “That’s right, suck its energy from that monster and show them whose boss!” Emily used her powers and annihilate that beast! Darko applauded, “Bravo! Now, we have another test so hang on.” He said through the intercom. The second test involved with Peyton: What Emily had to do is that she has to consume Peyton’s blood with her Fury powers, but not killing him. Emily feels bad for doing this however she must not let herself get lost in this power. And that is when it all got unsettling from there. While doing this process; Emily jerked back and forth, Peyton was nervous as he was swaying too while he was wearing a blank stared on his face. The sensation was too much as Emily did not want to cry out but muffled moans came from her mouth that was closed by bitten lips. “Mmmmph! Mmmmmm…..Mmmmmph!!!” She was saying as the pain became too much for her. The third and final test is where Peyton has to stab Emily’s stomach as she must seep blood from there when he stabs her to see what kind of blood she bleeds in each different forms. It was hard for Peyton as he was hesistant to use a weapon however Darko said over the intercom, “Go on dearie…Tell Peyton what he must do….Show him.” Emily turned to innocent, sweet Peyton and showed him how to use the knife. At first, he didn’t know what he was doing until he finally pressed lightly; stabbing into her. But then there was a squelch sound and dripping. “Oh, I’m sorry Emily….I think I let the fluid out from the knife.” Peyton said timidly. Emily smiled at him, “It’s OK, no big….Oh god, I don’t that’s fluid…It’s my blood but in a different color.” She said as her smile faded at the sight of her blood was tinting while in banshee form that she just transformed into! “Why is it…Purple?” Peyton asked. “That’s my banshee one.” Commented Emily. Peyton was nervous to speak but had to know more so he did: “And when you become a harpy?” Emily shrugged, “It becomes black.” She retorted. “What about the Fury form?” questioned Peyton.  “Orange.” Retorted Emily. Peyton watched in amazement, “Ooh! It feels hot…” He said. Emily had pulled her heart out as she saw her red blood become orange and it did was boiling like water in the shower when the temperature increases! “Oh god!” She exclaimed. Meanwhile; Darko was speaking with Tate while watching the training proceed: “So tell me, why did you sent your kiddies to rescue Edom Hiroki? You could’ve let them died.” He said. Tate scoffs at him, “Call it compassion if you will, I think the time is right for Edom not be dead but I like to see him fail.” He said with a smirk. “Is it because of what he did to all of you?” Darko asked. Tate spoke up calmly, “Perhaps…Why do you care?” The last part of his words sounded harsh but Darko shrugged as he claimed: “Just curious, really.” And the two continued to watch the training still continuing.
