Chapter 5 

While in the chaos; Maggie, Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki were separated from their teams and were swung into a building. They try to open the door that closed behind them when all of a sudden they are confronted by soldiers. “There they are, take them down!” The soldier commanded. Just as the soldiers advanced towards the four of them when all of a sudden, the lights flickered back and forth as there was a commotion of shouting coming from the soldiers: “What the hell?!” One said. “Man down, man down!” Another cried. The colors in the lights of red were sprayed across the hall. Later, the lights stopped flickering and came on. There was a figure stood amongst the dead bodies of soldiers. The four were surprised as they were relieved to see this person was the one that rescued them. “You saved us, thank you!” Maggie said with delight. “Yeah, thanks.” Agreed Yoichi. The figure slowly turned around, she smiled darkly. “You’re welcome…” It was Pansy Fury as she stared at them with an eerie grin. Maggie, Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki stared in horror. “OH MY GOD!!!” exclaimed Aricia. The four of them prepared to fight but were surprised to see that Pansy held her hands up and being reassuring. “I come in peace and want to take you to a world of my own.” Pansy assured them. Maggie wasn’t sure about trusting someone like Pansy, she looked over at Lola who already spoke up: “We want to get out of here, not go to your world Pansy!” Pansy’s smile widened, “Wanna hear something cool? Ever heard of ‘daydream believer’? ‘Pie in the sky’? ‘Castle in the sky’? Well, the realistic people once say you shouldn’t have your head in the clouds, you must keep your feet more grounded than have them in flights of fantasy. The only way out of this tower is going from up to down.” She explained. The four of them stared at Pansy’s expression. “You’re kidding.” Maggie finally said. Pansy shook her head, “Nope. I wish I were.” She replied. “Shit.” Kimizuki said under his breath. Pansy then beckoned them to a wallpaper and peeled it off as it is revealed to have a hole in the wall and down there was an abyss to wherever it leads. “All right Alice, down the rabbit hole you go!” Pansy said in a faux British accent. But the gang weren’t too sure so Pansy leaped in first as a demonstration. Maggie was keen on it and decides to go in, Lola and the boys were worried but Maggie grinned at her friends. “All you need to know is that everything will be OK.” Maggie reassured, and then she fell in. Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki were horrified. “OH GOD!!! MAGGIE!!! ARE YOU OK, MAGGIE?!” Lola cried. There was silence until Maggie’s ringed out: “COME ON, YOU GOTTA COME DOWN HERE AND SEE THIS!!!” Lola and the other two guys were relieved. Lola took a deep breath and looked over her shoulder, “Nice knowing ya boys.” She said with a wink before taking a leap of faith. It wasn’t long until Yoichi and Kimizuki followed in suite. They were falling for some time but there was colors and images they could see but then, all four landed as Pansy leads them to a room where there was a small table. Two bottles were on there as well as two pills. And also, a note that reads: “Here are some good advice…One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small. Best taken now than later.” So; Maggie and Lola consumed each a bottle that caused them cramps and how they lack energy but they took a pill and swallowed that. However, that pill caused the two girls bloating and their emotions to be overwhelming them such as sadness and anger. But their emotions combined with their powers were a really bad thing but they took the bottles they consumed earlier again and nearly passed out. After a while, Maggie and Lola were feeling better. Yoichi couldn’t help but ask, “So where are we going?” Pansy said, “We’re going to find the Munchkins in the Emerald City.” Just then, Kimizuki replied back sarcastically, “Oh! So we’re following the yellow brick road huh.” Yoichi beamed while chuckling quietly. Pansy giggled, “No, silly. We’re flying to Neverland.” She said teasingly. “Flying? That’s nice.” Lola said. Later on; they came across children working with one another. The children saw Pansy and the others approaching “How are my brethren doing?” Pansy asked, directly to the Corruptions. “Quite fine, love. Thanks.” Said one of the Corruption children. “Yes, we are doing sw…” The second chimed in. But Pansy interrupted with a stern, “SILENCE!!!” The Corruption kids gasped. “You will speak when spoken to!” Pansy scolded. Yoichi spoke up, “Uh…He was spoken.” He said. “NONSENSE!!! One voice at a time, no interruptions! At all!” Just then, there were mewing sounds and the gang looked to see Corruptions had also have animals. Cats and dogs as well as rabbits as well with other cute animals. There were many sights to see as well as great things. After all the excitement of giving the gang the tour of a lifetime; Pansy was getting under the covers to take a nap when Yoichi appeared: “Pansy? Sorry to bother you, but I have a question…” There was no answer from Pansy. Yoichi timidly continued, “I was wondering if you have any food. I don’t think we can find the cook or the kitchen. We got lost many times…We’re really hungry, Pansy.” He looked over at Pansy who didn’t reply back. “P..Pa…Pansy?” Yoichi asked gently. “Why do you keep talk? Talk? Talking? Don’t you ever stop for one friggin’ second?!” Pansy said with irritation. Yoichi was taken aback as he try to take back, “I…” He tried to say however Pansy interrupts, “I need to sleep!” She said with emphasis. “I—sorry Pansy. I was just hungry, I mean um…we’re all hungry.” Yoichi said timidly. Pansy gritted her teeth as she sat up while saying in a loud voice: “Oh, if you’re that hungry, why don’t you go AND EAT SHIT YOU ANNOYING BRAT!!!” She then collapses on the bed and heard feet leaving. Pansy cursed herself and felt bad for what she said. After her nap; Pansy noticed Yoichi was having his back turn, “Yoichi?” She asked timidly. Yoichi turned around as his eyes were brined with tears. “Are you OK?” Pansy inquired. Yoichi nodded, “Uh yes…” He managed to say while crying, “I—I’m fine….” But covered his eyes with one arm but his sleeve was stained with tears. Pansy realized what she done, “I’m so sorry.” She said as she was crying too. Pansy reached over to touch Yoichi but he reluctantly moved away. Pansy continued to speak to him, “I didn’t mean to yell at you…I’ll make it up to you, OK?...What are you in the mood for? Tell me.” Her tearful voice was gentle and sweet. “I—I’m not hun—hun—hungry any—any—anymore…R…rea….really.” Yoichi stammered. Pansy felt bad so she found the Corruption cook and requested a feast will be made. She was going to make them all happy one way or another! While they were eating; Pansy was wearing a smile to her face as Maggie, Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki were eating but they were glancing at Pansy with concern. However, Pansy excused herself for a moment and that’s when the gang thought they heard a loud sound. They checked to see but saw no one so they shrugged it off as just simply random noises. Maggie and the gang returned to eating their food but soon they felt drowsy as they walked away while feeling drowsy, their stomachs were aching from the meal but they passed on the ground. Maggie, Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki woke up to see their hands were tied behind them and looked up to see a hunchback figure. The Corruption was Dumpsey, who was a grotesque looking man who was mentally disabled and hulking. He wore a gray tunic, matching trousers, brown slippers and he has such round black eyes. “Huh hoo hoo!” Dumpsey said with that goofy, wild abundant laugh of his. “Dumpsey wants to play with guests.” Maggie got scared, “Stay away from us, please!” She begged. “No, no. Friends will obey to Dumpsey. Dumpsey will have fun with you.” Dumpsey said with his laugh. “Go away! Leave us alone!” Lola screamed. But Dumpsey did not heed to them as the four of them turned away in fear but somehow by a miracle, they were saved. “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!” A voice exclaimed. Dumpsey stopped in his tracks, he turned and saw Pansy standing there, arms crossed as she looked mad. Dumpsey smiled sheepishly, “Huh—hoo—hoo!” He laughed then he added: “Mistress Pannie, Dumpsey has friends to play with! Dumpsey wants to have fun with guests.” Pansy gave a fake smile and approached the hulking Corruption. “Oh, is that so? Well, my dear friend….I’m afraid you’re in trouble with me.” Pansy said. “Mistress Pannie, Dumpsey…” Dumpsey was trying to protest however Pansy yelled at him, “YOU OAF!!! HOW DARE YOU PUT FEAR UPON THEM BY BINDING THEM THIS WAY!!! YOU BASTARD!!!” She beats up Dumpsey who was on the floor as he squealed and whimpered like a pig. In her anger; Pansy repeatedly kicked at Dumpsey, who was bawling loudly, while she screeched: “THIS! IS! WHAT! YOU! GET! FOR MESSING! WITH MY! GUESTS!!!” She finally released him as she shrieked, “GO HOME TO YOUR MOTHER!!!” Pansy released Lola and Maggie, she tells them to wait outside as she has to have a chat with Yoichi and Kimizuki. Once the two girls were freed and they left the room; Pansy stared down at Yoichi and Kimizuki hard, she puffed out a breath before speaking. “I told you to be careful around these Corruptions and you disobeyed me. You trying to make me worried? Me, a mentally disturbed savant girl who is psychologically impaired, are you trying to make me sick to death?!” It was quiet for a moment until Pansy turned her head to the Corruptions standing in the doorway and she exclaimed, “YOU TWO!!! GET THOSE BLOODY BOUNDS OFF THEM RIGHT NOW!!” The Corruptions obeyed and removed the bounds from Yoichi and Kimizuki’s wrists. Pansy was pulling out at her hair, where she exclaimed with each emphasis felt like a verbal stab: “Is this…the only way…to KEEP YOU FROM SUCH TORTURE!!! AND NOT REPEAT THE WAY KURETO HIRAGI DID TO YOU BOTH!!!” Yoichi then spoke out, “Sorry, Mora…I didn’t know he was going to do that.” Pansy loomed over them with a tight smile across her face. “I’ll make sure no one hurts you boys again, all right you guys? No one’s gonna torture ever again…” She said in a sweet but unbalanced tone in her voice. Then, she exclaimed in a voice that startled both Yoichi and Kimizuki: “…NO ONE!!!” She turned and left the room. Once Pansy calmed down, she and the others were proceeding down to the way out when they noticed someone was waiting for them. There stood a Corruption woman who approached Pansy, Maggie, Yoichi, Lola and Kimizuki. The woman has her hair in a vintage style of crown plaits, she has a death-like appearance of waxen skin, eyes so bright that they were piercing as they could stare into anyone’s soul. She resembled a maid with a navy blue dress that reached the floor almost, long sleeves; an attacked apron trimmed with lace, gray sheer tights and polished knee high boots. This woman was Dumpsey’s mother, Deema. “Lady Pansy, I would like to apologize for my son’s actions.” Said Deema. Pansy managed to smile as she said, “You are always forgiven Deema. Keep your son away from our guests next time.” Deema feebly nodded, she then turned her attention to Kimizuki and encircled around him while keeping her gaze upon him before leaving out of sight. Kimizuki felt unsettled from her presence. “Be careful of Deema, she’s a hell lot worse than Dumpsey.” Pansy whispered to the gang. Kimizuki nodded, “Got it.” He said. Pansy glared at him, “Don’t take this lightly Kimizuki.” She said firmly. Now it was Kimizuki’s turn to glare back at Mora, “I’m not. After the incident with Dumpsey; I don’t need to piss you off again.” He remarked. Pansy stared at Kimizuki in amazement before patting his shoulder, “Thank you.” She said. She turned to Lola and Yoichi while whispering to them, “Good man.” And walked off with the others following. They were walking downward as they came across some strange Corruption women who were having tea but when Pansy and the others appeared they stopped as they were grateful to see her. “Lady Pansy, hello there!” The ladies said in unison. Pansy waved back, “Hello ladies, I see you’re having a tea party and thought I stopped by.” She said. “M’lady, who are these newcomers?” said one of the Corruption girls. “Why, these people are guests. Can’t you tell?” One of the girls stared back at Yoichi and Kimizuki, “Oh…!” She said softly. A smile appeared, she frantically made her way over to Evan as she pushed him towards the wall. She was smiling from ear to ear at Kimizuki who looked rather scared, “It’s you!” She mumbled. Kimizuki was awkward at this sight, but the other girls argued: “No, it’s not! That could be an imposter!” The others gasped, “An imposter?” But the other girl who pinned Kimizuki to the wall said, “It’s absolutely them! You are Shiho Kimizuki, I know you anywhere!” She then turned to the other girls as she said, “I know ‘em anywhere!” The girls giggled while applauding with excitement. “Oh, that reminds me. We have someone hear to show you. One moment, please.” Said one of the women. It wasn’t long until the Corruption ladies brought out someone of a figure being wheeled in. The person in the chair was strapped to the chair and wore a brown bag over his head. But when the bag was removed, it was none other than Seishiro Hiragi himself. He was battered, bruised, and bloodied. Boy, he was pissed! Maggie, Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki are shocked by this as the girls giggled maniacally and clapped happily. “We want to show you our criminal to be set for a trial.” Said one of the girls. Pansy grinned, “Excellent! Take him to court, we’ll be there.” She instructed. The ladies did what they were told; Lola had something on her mind that’s been bothering her. “I wonder…How come these Corruptions aren’t planning on hurting us or doing anything.” She stated to her friends. But she did not expect the Corruptions would be listening because they turned and smiled. “Fret not, my dear friends. Mistress Pansy wants to keep you all safe and we have no intentions of harming you.” Said one of the Corruptions. “Why do I get the feeling that’s not reassuring?” Maggie remarked. They enter the courtroom where there was dozens of Corruptions but the chatter quieted down when a voice announced: "All rise." The guards wait for everyone-except the judge- to stand. They do as the voice announced again, "Court is now in session. Mistress Pansy Fury presiding. Please be seated."All were seated as Pansy appeared. “Let the trial begin!” Pansy exclaimed as she walked in. Maggie, Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki could only watched from the back as the trial begins. “Mistress Pansy… members of the jury… loyal subjects…The prisoner at the bar is charged with enticing his way into our home and thereby willfully and with malice aforethought, teasing, tormenting, and otherwise annoying our beloved darling...” The Corruption said while ranting but Pansy exclaimed, startling him. “Never mind all that! Get to the part where I lose my temper.” She said with excitement. The Corruption nodded as he concluded, “Right, right, right! Thereby causing the mistress to lose her temper.” Pansy nodded as she turned to Seishiro, “Now, Ha ha… are you ready for your sentence?” Seishiro looked at her in disbelief, “Sentence? Idiots, there must be a verdict first!” He exclaimed. Pansy pointed a finger, “Sentence first! Verdict afterwards.” She confirmed. “You morons, that just isn’t the way!” Seishiro declared. Pansy glared back at him as she is about to exclaim, “All ways are…” But a Corruptioin from the crowd in the courtroom finished for her, “…Your ways, m'lady.” Pansy 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 Hiragi 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 MPD was brought in and then, a projection of a memory was played out that shocked the people in the courtroom! Maggie, Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki were shocked: The memory that was shown is of Sayuri being bullied and humiliated by Seishiro himself, where Sayuri was half naked as the crowd chanted at her to take off all her clothes. The Corruptions protested loudly than ever. “Photographic proof! Seishiro'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 men and 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?!” Seishiro was in disbelief, “HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIND THAT?!” He demanded. Pansy 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 Seishiro such as decapitation, hang him on the gallows, electric chair and other deadly punishments. That’s when Seishiro managed to cut himself loose and try to wreck havoc. Everyone screamed, Maggie and her friends made an escape with Pansy awaiting from the doorway as she leads them away. After the chaotic trial and Seishiro escaped; Pansy leads Maggie, Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki to the exit after reaching the downstairs part. But then, they heard footsteps and Deema approached. They turned but soon they were horrified to see that Deema held a fire poker stick in her hand as well as herself laughing like a maniac. She stopped as she said in a creepy monotone, “Blood…Flesh…Human. You defiling creature, you allow that Seraph Boy…This alluring witch before you into you again and again but you are allowed to do that because you are a precious little human. Precious little human…precious little human…Precious little human….Pr—prec—precious—li—lit—lit—little—hu—hu—hu—hum—hum—hum—human…” She begins to laugh and tries to attack Pansy and the others but they fought back and defeated Deema. Maggie, Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki were making their way to the exit but Pansy blocked them. “Why can’t you stay here? I won’t let you!” She said while begging. “Pansy, you promised to help us!” Maggie pointed out. “NO, NO, YOU’RE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS!!!” But Lola flexed her hand out while whispering, “Sorry…” She used her powers to move Pansy away and they left her. But Pansy let out a horrendous wail. “DON’T LEAVE ME!!! DON’T LEAVE ME!!! I’LL DIE WITHOUT YOU!!” Pansy exclaimed while Maggie, Lola, Yoichi and Kimizuki ran off! 

Pansy was heartbroken and revenge is sought out on others and that’s what happened: Carna Fields targeted Eren and Jean by restraining them and made Mikasa choose who to save first however she lost to Levi, who rescued Jean from the fall. Carna lost to Levi, she attempts to make him go mad by butchering a bunch of animals and goes after Connie as a skimpy nurse, she attempts to kill him but thwarted by Jean. Carna escapes and lures the Scouts to the Roisin Heart Theme Park by kidnapping Historia and Armin. Carna fights Eren however she is defeated by him, Jean, Yuu and Kimizuki. Meanwhile; Roz targeted Yukino, injuries her and takes pictures. She displays the pictures for her performance to cause insanity, Roz’s plan instead enraged Sting and Rogue, who fought her; Roz intimates their old master Jiemma but escapes! Roz flirted and tortured mentally Sting and Rogue about Yukino, but that fails. Just then; Roz repeated a scenario from the Naval Battle but used Minerva as an example and beats Minerva, where she was stripped and beaten so badly while the Fury sisters and the other girls laughed at Minerva. Just then, Rory Leigh saves Minerva and helps her! Roz was upset as she lures the Sabertooth Guild in a chase-battle and was defeated Maggie, Sting and Rogue. Roz has a nervous breakdown and passes out from exhaustion! Blossom targets only Hibiki and Eve, she drugs and tortures them but Jenny and Marina thwarted her plans. Blossom tortures Mitsuba over her sister, Jenny and Hibiki stops her. Fire Emblem is tortured as well but saved by Marina, who defeats Blossom as she saw her breaks down which is a turning point. Later in the day; Briar, Hange, Guren and the others were looking over from the rooftop where the constable was pacing rapidly. He looked over at Justine who seems to be stumbling in her footing and looked unbalanced. Guren looked through the telescope to see the constable and Justine conversing but then shit hit the fan when Briar and Guren heard what they were saying to each other! “Where are they?” demanded the constable. Justine pointed behind him above, “Right over there.” She replied. Guren was stunned, “What?” He gasped. Justine waved her hands like she was signaling someone to rescue her, “Heyyyyyy!!!! Shitheads, over here!” Briar cringed, “Oh no.” She muttered. The constable aimed his gun but Justine uses her powers to knock the constable down! She stumbled over at Briar and her allies. “Ha! There you are, shitheads!” Justine exclaimed. “What the hell is your problem for exposing us like that?” Guren demanded. But Justine ignored him as she said, “Youuuu bastards! I never want to work with you bastard ‘cause I hate how I can’t get you out of my head! You are the reason why I hate you with a friggin’ passion!” Guren darkly chuckled, “Like I’m not surprised.” He remarked. Justine glared at him, “You’re not surprised? THIS WILL MAKE YOU SURPRISE…!!!” She shouted where she shoved Guren but she is held back. “Carla, Carla, take it easy!” Shinoa chided. “Take it easy?! YOU ARE NOT TAKING EASY ON ME!!!” Carla bawled, “EVER SINCE YOU TOLD ME ABOUT FRIGGIN’ GIDEON SULLIVAN, YOU ALL BEEN RUINING MY LIFE!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT BASTARD REALLY IS? HE IS YUPPIE SCUM! CRAP, CRAP…SHIT….I HATE HOW YOU ALL LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!!!” Eren, Yuu, Hange, Levi, Guren and the others were mixed feelings of uneasiness, fearful and concern. Justine rants on and on about certain nonsense however Briar realized something was wrong with her and she looked at her. “Justine? Are you…are you drunk?” Briar asked. Justine glanced over at Briar and laughed like a hyena, “Like hell that I’m drunk…There’s no way that I’m…” But she stopped and she let out a few, “Hurk…Hurk…Ooofm!” And then, “BLLLUUURRRRGGGGHHH!!!!” Projectile vomit on the pavement, everyone was surprised and disgusted. Justine collapsed and she fell next to her puke. Briar sighed, “I’ll take that as a yes.” She remarked. Justine woke up in different clothes and saw Sorey sitting at the foot of the bed. "Hey, Shepherd Boy." Justine remarked. "Hey, are you doing?" Sorey asked. Justine nodded, "Fine." She said. They talk for awhile where Justine revealed about her dark past involving with Dirge, who abused her and used her. Sorey comforted her, despite Justine trying to resist but she wept in his embrace as he was so kind to her. It was then Liz Dayes was discovered by Mia, Alex and the others that she was the Exterminator as they managed to tell everyone in Evermore, which shocks them but nevertheless they accept her. Liz then revealed a secret: In high school; her boyfriend dumping her, her best friend got murdered, her father losing his job, Liz being ostracized, her mother leaving, and Liz being drugged and plundered at a party. And found out that the person responsible for ruining her life was Dirge and wants to help countered his downfall! Briar felt bad for her and promised her that she will. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sylver next to her. Briar was happy to see her, Yuu and Kimizuki were surprised to see her and felt remorse upon them. Then, they looked on the ground and found a notebook. It turns out to be Sylver’s note book however the boys are shocked by the stories and were touched by this when they went to Briar and Sylver. Sylver was still mad at Yuu and Kimizuki as she turned to them. “We read your story in the notebook.” Yuu said. Sylver rolled her eyes, “The stupid one about the idiots?” She snapped. Kimizuki bowed his head, “Yeah, the two idiots…” He said quietly. Sylver slowly turned around and looked at them. “We’re sorry we laughed at you, we really are.” Yuu apologized. Sylver glanced at Yuu and Kimizuki. “You like that story.” She said. Kimizuki nodded, “Yeah we did.” He answered. Sylver smiled, “I love that story.” She said. She hugged them and cried when she noticed her Corruptions standing there. “You go home; we’ll take care of the rest.” Chester said. “What about Mongfind?” Sylver asked. “We’ll take care of her too.” Maddox reassured her. Sylver grinned, “Thanks you guys, see you later!” She said waving. Soon; Maddox, Chester, Jubil, Lilith, Dormon and Neil rushed off. Sylver walked with Briar and the others to Evermore as Sylver smiled, “Ah, Evermore. I am home at last.” She said softly.

Meanwhile; Tsubame stared at Kimizuki for a moment before approaching him. “You’re Kimizuki, right?” Tsubame asked in surprise. Kimizuki glanced at her in confusion, “Uh yeah.” He replied. “I heard of another person with that name, she was in a subterranean area of a warehouse above. Her name was…Mirai, yes that’s it! You know this girl name Mirai?” Tsubame inquired. Kimizuki felt his heart was about to burst from his chest, he had this excited look in his eyes. “That’s my sister!” He claimed. “Your sister? Oh my!” Paige gasped. “Which warehouse?” Where is it?” Narumi asked. “Warehouse 713.” Paige replied. In the meantime; Constable Lovell and his partner came across Warehouse 713. They enter inside and saw Ben as well as Taylor was waiting. “Hallows…Timmons.” The constable greeted stiffly. “Sir.” Taylor addressed timidly. “Gentlemen, welcome! So glad to see you all here, come in—come in!” Ben said in an overly cheery voice. The constable and his partner glanced at other as they entered inside the warehouse and shut the door behind them. The constable glanced around before looking over at Ben. “Where is she?” The constable demanded softly. “Right here.” Rosemary’s voice ring out as she appeared from the stairs and curtsies. Shadrick snarls at her, “The witch arrives before us, the Daughter of that lunatic enchantress.” He retorted. “And here I thought you were going to refer to my sisters and I as the daughters of the She Devil you prick.” Rosemary rejoined darkly. “Save the insults, I must inform you that we’ve been searching for you and your ‘boy’ Mr. Hallows here. And we have succeeded.” The constable notified. Rosemary scoffs at him, “My boy?? He’s not a pet, Shadrick. He’s part of our family!” She said firmly. Taylor couldn’t help but smile at Ben, but he saw that his dear friend looked rather troubled and concerned. “Family? This ‘family member’ of yours is nothing more than a devil worshipper! He has caused crimes against God and must be punished greatly.” The inspector pointed out. “A devil worshipper? Have you ever heard of science? Surely, Benjamin never believed in God but in angels. We were the ‘angels’ in his life that inspired him to create life out of death. And also his family is in shambles. He went through trials, tribulations and tragic events in his life.” Rosemary explained. Taylor was touched by Rosemary’s perspective of Hallows while Benjamin looked shameful. “Cease this torment, Daughter of Insanity, you cannot protect Benjamin forever. He is still being hunted, as are you.” The constable reminded. “I am aware of it, I love a good chase Inspector. How are you holding up? Have you…lost your head?” Rosemary asked with a grin on her face, the inspector looked increasingly uncomfortable but then it was cease when some sort of innocence emerged. “Rosemary?” A small voice called out. Rosemary whirled around to see Mirai standing before her. “Mirai, what are you doing here sweetie? Go back down where the other children are.” Rosemary said in a gently scolding tone in her voice. Mirai walked over to her, “Rosemary, when can I see my big brother?” She asked. “Soon baby, I told you that you would see Shiho soon.” Rosemary reminded. Mirai felt tears spring in her eyes and she exclaimed: “You always say that!!!...Please, I miss him so much…I appreciate all you and your family did but I’m bored and I can’t do this anymore.” The constable stepped forward with a smile, “Don’t worry love, we’ll find your brother and bring you back to him. Inspector Lovell and I will make sure of that.” He assured her. Mirai looked at the glaring face of the constable, she looked at Shadrick Lovell more closely as her eyes widened in horror, “You…You’re the inspector…” She clutched her temples of her head, “No…No….No…No…No, NO I WON’T LET YOU!!!” Mirai exclaimed as she turned into her Seraph form. Her appearance shocked the four men in the room! Rosemary tensed, “Shit!” She muttered. Just then, a voice exclaimed from above: “DON’T DO IT!!!” It was Luna who swung in with a rope and grabbed Mirai; rescuing her. The constable screams, “THAT GIRL MUST BE BURN!!! SHE MUST SUFFER AND THE DEMON WITHIN HER MUST VANQUISH WHILE HER SOUL WILL BE DEPARTED TO HEAVEN!!!” He chased after Luna who galloped from trees to trees. Lola caught wind of Luna and saw Mirai looking back in fear. Lola gasped, “LUNA! SHE SAVED YOUR SISTER!!! EVAN, COME ON!!!! WE HAVE TO HURRY!!!” She and the others ran but Kimizuki ran ahead as he was determined to see his beloved sister and saw two dark shapes near a cabin. Renee had Mirai in there perhaps, however Sylvia noticed someone else was there that made her heart dropped: Inspector Lovell was standing there and then, all at once; the cabin exploded! Kimizuki screamed in terror: “MIRAI!!!!” All were shocked by this as they glared at the constable who lacked remorse. “What have you done Inspector?” Sylvia demanded. “I did what the Lord told me, I must burn thy demon and send her to Hell.” The inspector replied in an aloof tone. “You sick bastard!!! She was no monster, she was my sister! AND YOU MURDERED HER!!!” shouted Kimizuki, lunging at him. “Hey Kimizuki, look!” Narumi said, gesturing with his index finger. Kimizuki glanced where he was pointing at and saw some sort of figure approaching Lola and the gang with something this person was carrying an object or someone. It was Luna carrying an unconscious Mirai. Kimizuki’s anger evaporated into amazement, Luna grinned hopefully yet shyly as she showed Mirai alive and in one piece to Kimizuki. “I believe this lovely lady is yours.” Luna said softly. Renee hands Kimizuki his sister gingerly and Evan took his sister, he slowly sank to the floor. He cradled the unconscious Mirai, Lola thought she saw a tear shed from Kimizuki’s eyes. Mirai’s eyes fluttered open and saw her brother. “B—big brother?” She whispered. “Sis?” Kimizuki asked. Mirai’s face broke into a grin, she embraced her older brother happily. “Shiho!” Mirai cried. Kimizuki embraced her back, “Mirai!” He exclaimed in joy. Lola and the gang smiled in content. Luna watched how Kimizuki hugged Mirai and felt her eyes welled up with tears. Endymion put an arm around her, pulling her close in a gentle clinch. “You did good, Lu. I’m proud of you.” He whispered. Luna nodded silently and buried her face in Endymion’s coat weeping. Just then, Luna felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see Mirai standing there with a big smile on her face. “Um, miss? Thank you for saving my life, you were so brave! I don’t think I can thank you enough.” Mirai said. Luna wiped her eyes as she smiled back at her. “You’re welcome kid, you deserve your happiness.” She replied. Lola was pleased to hear this, she beamed at those words. Unaware to anyone; Pansy was watching with a sad glance in her eyes. “I’d like to join you, smile along with the rest and be part of this happiness. Alas, I cannot because of what I as well as my family did to you. I know I wouldn’t be accepted by any of you for I am a monster…and an enemy…” thought Pansy. She could hear their euphoria of them, Pansy put her hands over her ears as she trembled with sadness. She rocked back and forth not wanting to hear it but she could see it in her thoughts. “Why does my heart cry out for you?” Pansy thought through her uncontrollably yet silent sobbing. She felt her powers were causing havoc but also created a sort of masterpiece. Lola and the gang could hear some noises as they rushed over. They didn’t find anyone but found a message written on the ground: “PLEASE ENJOY YOUR HAPPINESS.” Mirai smiled in a heartfelt manner! 

Soon after; Lola slumped down in a seat and sighed while looking out the window. “Briar? Do you know that their four things that I particular hate?” Lola said in a strained voice. Briar smiled without any humor, “Oh really?” She said sarcastically. Sylvia gestured with her pointing fingers as she said the surnames: “Jaeger. Kirstein. Hyakuya and Kimizuki.” As she said this, all four guys gave her a look of disbelief. Briar rolled her eyes as she sighed, “Geez Louise…” groaned Briar. “So tell me, Ba-rie, WHY THE HELL DO WE HAVE ALL FOUR OF THEM GATHERED NEATLY IN THIS CAR?!” exclaimed Lola. “Hey, we’re in this car too you know!” snapped Suzaku. “You guys are the ones that don’t fight so friggin’ much!” Lola claimed, shaking her fingers. Briar sighed, “OK, OK, that’s enough! Calm down, we’re nearly there.” She said. They had arrived at a nice looking house but on the mailbox that read ‘Hope’. Briar looked at the piece of paper, “This is the place?” She asked. “It is, I made sure of it.” Lelouch said. So, all of them got out of the car and up to the house. Briar rings the doorbell as the eight of them waited. Just then, someone answered the door. A woman who looked a little flustered. “Yes?” The woman asked. “Hi, does Debbie Hope live here?” Briar asked. “Who wants to know?” The woman inquired suspiciously. Briar pulls out the yearbook and showed a picture of a younger Debbie Hope. “I found this and she used to go to Fire Burn Hills High School.” Briar said. The woman was surprised, “Where did you get that?! Wait, you’re from Evermore!” She gasped. The woman held a hand, “One moment please.” She said. She looks at them and closes the door for a moment. Then, she opens it again while she strained a smile on her lips. “You can come in, Deborah is waiting.” The woman said. The woman led them to the living room where a woman with short hair and wearing blue pants as well as a blouse to match. “Deborah Hope.” Briar said. “Briar Devlin, I’ve heard so much about you.” Debbie said with a smile. Briar and the gang sat down as they explain about Ophelia, Rosemary and the rest of the girls. It was then Briar voices her theory that Ophelia planted her abilities inside her to torture her. “What makes you think of that?” Debbie asked. “Because they think we’re the same, and Ophelia gave me these powers all to think I’ll be part of her friggin’ family. It’s her fault really.” Briar declared. “Sweetie, Ophelia didn’t give you these powers…I did.” Debbie said. Lola gasped. “No…” Eren said. “You can’t be serious.” Jean replied. “It’s not true…” Yuu whispered. “I can’t believe it…” Kimizuki muttered. Lelouch and Suzaku are speechless. “What?! Why?” demanded Briar. Debbie looked at her solemnly, “You were everything that the Fury family currently wasn’t, they lost they’re good attributes and turned insane yet murderous. Someone had to stop them!” She answered. “So, you…chose me?” asked Briar. And so, Debbie begins the story: Back in her days of high school; Debbie Hope was one of the most popular girls. She was friends with the troubled Viola and her posse. It was after gym class; Ophelia Fury started to have a nose bleed. Instead of helping; Debbie, Viola and the other girls teased her until the gym teacher stopped them. She punished them as a result! At this time, Debbie felt bad for the incident and wanted to do something nice. So she turned to her boyfriend, Laertes, and asked him to take Ophelia to the annual party. Ophelia finally accepted and went with Laertes. Feeling like she gave Ophelia the happiness she deserved; Debbie decided to go and check on Ophelia. While she did, she was overcome with dread when she saw her friend Viola and her boyfriend together as they laughed at how they were going to ruin Ophelia Fury’s life. Debbie knew what would happen, she enters inside the party and tries to warn someone. Unfortunately one of the chaperones threw her out for not having an invitation and threw her out, ignored her pleas. Debbie tried to get back in and found an unlock door eventually and saw a massacre! Corruptions were slaughtering party-goers while Ophelia watched with an insane, sadistic expression on her face. These words haunt Debbie: “I will send you all to the graveyard; your souls will forever burn in Hell!” The laugh Ophelia gave out was very harmonious, eerie, dark, chilling and gritty. Debbie was frightened, she fled from the party however she ran into one of the Corruption. This shadowy, pale faced creature bore his black eyes into her and clenched his hand towards Debbie’s stomach. She recalled feeling a painful twinge that throbbed next thing she remembered was the Corruption vanished and Debbie saw blood dripping her legs! Debbie screamed and fainted. She woke up in the hospital where she learned that she had a miscarriage and her mother was there, who was crying and apologizing. It was the day; Debbie would never forget when she saw someone staggering in the yard. Debbie went to go see who it was: Ophelia with long hair, a pastel blue gown and she sported a huge swollen belly—Ophelia was heavily pregnant. Debbie helped Ophelia inside and gave birth to a baby girl she named Stephanie. Ophelia didn’t have a house so Debbie let her stay at her house. Soon, Ophelia had five children: Stephanie, Rosemary, Pansy, Colleen ‘Collie’ and Ruth ‘Rue’. Ophelia adored her daughters a lot and helped them grow up, cared for them very much. Lucky for Debbie; Ophelia didn’t recognize her as one of the bullies from long ago because of the post partum feelings caused Abigail to become delirious with euphoria and imagination! Ophelia’s children show symptoms of a Savant syndrome they are diagnosed with but also they show sighs of abnormal yet supernatural powers. Stephanie had advanced speed, strength and reflexes while her sisters had powers like Briar has now. After the girls grew up; Debbie had to say goodbye, Stephanie and her sisters were sad to see her go, and promised that she would visit soon. The day Debbie returned to the Fury household, she found that they were all gone. Earlier, Debbie helped Ophelia and her daughters bought a house and she had chosen one with a country side of flowers, trees, and lakes. Now; Debbie couldn’t see them anywhere else. That’s when Fire Burn Hills had an increase of murders of criminals, bullies, wealthy mean people and superficial folks. Same thing with racists, sexists, violators, predators and evil bastards. The numbers of killings went higher and higher as years went by. Reports indicated that a woman in a flowing dress and flowers in her hair has been seen with four girls. And then, reports also indicate of a young lady name Rory Leigh was out taking down bad guys. Debbie knew it was Stephanie because her face may look slightly older that the last time she saw her, she knew that youthful face and her eyes were familiar. 

In the present; Briar and the gang were lost for words after hearing that story. For a moment, nobody could speak until Briar spoke: “…So that’s why you chose me.” Debbie nodded. “You were the perfect adversary and maybe help have the power to stop them.” She said. “My god, wh—what can we do?” Lola asked. “The only way to stop Ophelia and her daughters is to re-intact the prank, channel their hatred and finally trap them. Pick a setting and get bait, it’s not the best choice but it’s the only way to end the Curse of the Fury Clan.” Debbie said. “Bait…Sylver…” Briar whispers. Later; Briar explains the plan to everyone back at Evermore. When they heard this; they were in shock and refused to be part of this. But Briar claims that it was the only way! Sylver heard this as she was nervous however Briar comforts her, helping her out. In the meantime; Rosemary and her sisters got prepared for tonight as things were going to heat up soon enough. “The games come to an end, let our tyranny commence.” Rosemary commanded. That night; Sylver wore a flowing, light gray dress that showed her shoulders and waited there upon that stage. There was a chill in the air and all seem quiet until…“So, you arrived. I’d expected you to show up. Have you finally surrendered? Are you accepting the fact that your delusions were simply us?” Rosemary said, approaching Sylver. Sylver breathed and then said, “Yes I came here because I wanted a friend to talk to.” Rosemary was suspicious, “You did?” She inquired. “Yes.” Sylver replied. “I see, you thought we were lonely?” Rosemary asked. “Yeah, I mean…You look like you need a friend. Maybe some support.” Sylver said. Rosemary felt an air of her heart defrosting. “Sylver? Why are you so nice to us?” Rosemary asked. Sylver shrugged, “Because I want to believe you all are good people. I know there is still kindness underneath the insanity you so possessed. Deep down, broken girls like you lost all common sense when you all found out how cruel the world was.” She explained. “You’d think I lost common sense? Why is that?” Rosemary solicited. “I mean, um, some people lost their common sense and gone down a dark path but maybe you fallen down there and you made changes to it. Your only concern was tearing the whole world down, right?” Sylver replied. “Yes…” Rosemary answered with a nod. “You see, I knew it! But y’know what? I never stopped caring. I never thought of you as an evil person, the same with your family. There’s still good in you.” Sylver said. Rosemary was crying, she hugged Sylver as she said between her tears: “Awww Sylver, you’re too kind…” She pulled away to smile at her. “Rosemary…?” Sylver asked. Rosemary softened her face, “Yes, my dear?” She asked. Sylver bowed her head, “I’m sorry.” She said. Just then; there was the laugh track that turned on as this upset Sylver, who covers her ears. Briar was upset, “The hell? Why is this being played?” She demanded. “I thought this was part of the plan!” Chloe claimed. “Sylver, what’s wrong? You hate this sound don’t you?” Rosemary asked. The laugh track sound fizzled and broke down until it stopped. “LIARS!!!!....CHEATS…..FALSIFIERS!!! YOU’RE DEAD MEAT!!!! MOTHER!!!” shouted Rosemary. Everyone turned when they heard a banshee-like cry. And a woman in a black gown with anger in her eyes. “Oh no, it’s Ophelia!” Hiyori cried. “So it is.” Yato exclaimed. “I called upon those I had summoned long ago—Fight with me now once again!!!” Ophelia exclaimed. Yato, Hiyori and Yukine were running however Rosemary was behind them. “I’ll kill you all now!” Rosemary cried. “Get away, get away!” Yukine exclaimed. “She’s coming, they’re all are!” Yoichi called. “So I can hear!” Kimizuki said with sarcasm. “I will finish what I started years ago!” Ophelia cried. Her Corruptions emerged and terrorize everyone, but Briar stood tall and ready. She was tired of being afraid! “Leave this to me, the Fury Family are overcome with madness that they won’t know what will happen.” Briar instructed. She waited until Ophelia was closer. Ophelia was upset as she was coming nearer. “I’ll take you with me, Briar Devlin! You will be defeated by your worst nightmare Ophelia Fury, the face of vengeance of the great salvation!!!!!” Ophelia exclaimed. At that point; Briar impaled Ophelia with the knife; Ophelia halt and fell over bleeding! “Why do you torment me and my family so much? All I wanted was to be loved!” Ophelia wept. “I’m sorry, I didn’t want to hurt you like this but I had to stop you and your daughters from the murders. I understand, you wanted people who get away with corrupting innocence to get what they deserved because of what happened to you. But I think it’s gone long enough! It has got to stop now!” Briar said. Debbie was hiding, she felt her tears streamed down her face. She stepped forward and rushed to the fore. “Ophelia!” Debbie cried. “You…How dare you come here!!!!” screamed Ophelia, using her powers. Debbie struggled against Ophelia’s wrathful forces, “I—I was only trying to help…” She managed to say. “You did this to me!!!! You are the reason I am a monster!!!!” shouted Ophelia. “Please…Don’t hurt me…!” begged Debbie. Ophelia scoffed at her, “Oh? That’s funny, I’ve been hurt my whole life.” Debbie whimpers as she was scared at her. “YOU PULLED THE PRANK!!!!” yelled Ophelia. “No, I was trying to stop it….but nobody listened to me!” Debbie insisted, “Listen to me….I helped you!” Ophelia shook her head, “You liar!” That’s when a MPD was appeared and Ophelia looked down to see herself and Debbie, with her hair in a bun, helping her and being kind to her. After seeing the memories on the MPD; Ophelia was shocked and perplexed. “See?” Debbie said gently. Ophelia was speechless, “How can this be?” She gasped. She disappeared and the Fury sisters are taken into custody! Later; Rosemary lied in the bed of a dark room, she heard the door creaked open. “Benjamin, is that you?” She asked softly. She begins to cry, “Oh Ben—it was awful! Poor Sylver, but it’s OK…She’s safe. You know, you were so good to us and there were great memories! Though it was the bad that come back to haunt you. Do you remember those horrendous experiments? Or your father and his defiling friends did disgusting things to us? Ughhh, those unspeakable acts…penetration to our bodies, forcing their parts in our mouths…How we had them ‘eat’ us….Made us eat our own waste…Our excrement…I’m sorry, you saw us do that, it was so gross! Vile! But to them, it was their entertainment! Their pleasure, their fetish! I remember that day, you asked me what I desire, I told you I wanted you to be happy. ‘What is it that you’ll do to make me happy?’ You asked. I said, ‘My sisters and I would kill every single corrupted so many innocence. Just for you.’….You thought I was pretending, you laughed and said: ‘Go ahead, I would enjoy seeing them all die’ You thought I was joking? But I wasn’t, I did it all for you because I love you Artem. We loved you, we still do! Even as you changed! You stubborn, eccentric fool with an obsession with life out of death but we found you—we named you! We will reforge you, we are your angels. Your wish-granting fairies. Your muses. Personally speaking, we want to tear the remorseless bastards apart just for the sake of your approval!” Rosemary purred. That’s when she begins to cry and managed to say in between sobs, “Why did you fell for her? You were supposed to love us, weren’t you?” That’s when the lights flicked on; there was only Lelouch and Suzaku. Rosemary sat up startled, “You two? You guys tricked me!” She exclaimed. “We heard everything, so you did all this for Benjamin—the son of Marcello Hallows. He was kind to you all and was accepted into your family. His father had showed his true colors and he was responsible for the deaths of his own family. Benjamin was traumatized by the heinous experiments, the debauchery of violation and exposure to the vile things…This is what drove him to resurrecting death into life. Despite what he became, you all still love him.” Lelouch said. “Yes, it’s true. This was all for him, we gave up so much for our beloved Ben. He needed someone, anyone and it was us! The Fury Family!” Rosemary claimed. Lelouch looked at her with sympathy, “I can understand, I might’ve done many sins but I did those things to create a better life for my sister Nunally.” He said. Rosemary smirked, “Hmph, so we’re kindred spirits eh? Hee hee!” She giggled. Suzaku said, “You look famished, shall I fetch you some food?” Rosemary didn’t believe he was being kind, “Oh, how kind of you.” She said sarcastically. Suzaku leaned in and said, “Listen, we’re trying to help you. The least you could do is try to trust us better.” Rosemary rolled her eyes, “Fine.” She said. She waited until Lelouch and Suzaku left. “Oh, I’m not going to escape. Who said I was leaving?” Rosemary thought. Meanwhile; Briar woke up in a background of blue skies and white fog however she looked and saw Aslaug. “What’s wrong Aslaug?” She asked. “Asuramaru!” Yuu said with surprised. “Kiseki-O!” exclaimed Kimizuki. Briar saw Yuu, Asuramaru, Kimizuki and Kiseki-O. Yuu and Kimizuki noticed each other, they glared at each other and said at the same time, “What’s he doing here?!” They turned to see Briar and said in unison, “What are you doing here?!” Briar shrugged, “Aslaug brought us here.” She said. “It seems she has proposition.” Asurmaru answered. Aslaug explained the proposition of bets where if Yuu could be the winner, Kiseki-O said that Kimizuki could win and Aslaug Emily could win. But Asuramaru and Kiseki-O were not convinced.  “What makes you think I would agree to this bet?” Kiseki-O asked with a sneer. Aslaug had a shimmer in her eyes, “Mistress Briar, Yuu, Kimizuki….Turn away and do not look no matter what, please this is an order. Not a request.” She said. Briar looked at Yuu and Kimizuki with a smile, “OK, you heard her boys.” So the three of them turned around and waited when all of a sudden, there was muffled screams: “AAAAAHHH, OOOH, OOOMMFFF! MMMMMPPPPHHHH…..!!!!” Yuu and Kimizuki were shocked. “The hell?!” Yuu gasped. “What is she doing to them?” Kimizuki whispered. “Whatever it is, don’t turn around! No matter what!” rasped Briar desperately. The muffled moans finally stopped, and Aslaug then spoke: “Do turn back around, they are ready for a wager.” Asurmaru and Kiseki-O were on the ground, gasping for air and laughing. “Oh my, what a feeling! She’s really something for a Corruption.” Briar looked at Yuu and Kimizuki, even at Asuramaru and Kiseki-O. “What did you do to them?” Briar asked. Aslaug blushed, “Don’t ask.” She whispered. Briar suddenly smiled, “My, you’ve grown clever. Guess I really taught you well.” She teased. “Please, stop.” Aslaug said in a dreadful voice. It is discovered that Aslaug uses her dried up veins as a way to others. She uses them as mangled flesh branches which are forced down any person, species or Corruptions' throats as a way to give them pleasure. The victim will at first struggle to breathe or speak however they will be calm and their moans are muffled however they are in ecstasy! Meanwhile; Rosemary tries to get some sleep and was almost unsuccessful. Just then, she felt a shadow upon her. Rosemary looked up, “Ah, Shinoa—it’s you.” She said. “You wanted me? Here I am.” Shinoa said. Rosemary got up and kneels at Shinoa’s feet. “I was brought at your feet, so you want me to beg for mercy?” She said with a strained smile. “Neither, sit back on the bed. I want to talk.” Shinoa said calmly. Rosemary looked at her, “I’m fine where I am.” She replied. “Sit.” Shinoa answered sternly. Rosemary stares at her and she complies. The two girls were silent for a moment. “Did you come here to torment me? Hurt me?” Rosemary inquired. “You’d think I would do horrendous things that Kureto Hiragi would do? I would never, after all you did? After so much you went through? No, you’ve been through enough.” Shinoa said. “Doesn’t matter, I’m a horrible girl.” Rosemary claimed softly. “I’m one too.” Shinoa agreed, she said it with no humor. “But I’m more horrendous. I tormented you and your friends! Obsessed over Kureto torturing Yoichi and Kimizuki in front of Yuu! How much I wanted Hiragi’s head for bound and gag those boys! All that pain he did to ‘em, you let him run wild and unpunished!!! That controlling, arrogant ass hat! We wanted him to suffer like he did to so many!!!” Rosemary exclaimed. “I see…I never allowed him to be unpunished, he doesn’t see the consequences. He can do what he wants because he thinks he can, however he can’t hurt us anymore.” Shinoa assured her. Unconvinced by everyone’s kindness; Rosemary, Pansy and the other girls attempted suicide until Eren, Yuu, Mika, Yoichi, Jean, Armin, Kimizuki and Narumi stopped the girls. Rosemary was angry: “Why does this always happen to us?! Why does no one love us?” She said while crying. “Your mother loves you, your sister Stephanie loves you.” Eren claimed. “Stephanie doesn’t love us! She—she always interferes! She never helped us!” Rosemary affirmed. “Yes I did!” Stephanie declared. Everyone turned to see her standing there. “I knew you were being bullied so I wanted to help you. I try to talk to the teaching staff and principal but they didn’t do any course of action. I was upset, I felt helpless…That was the day I went to them, the day before Jude publically humiliate you.” She said, choking up. Rosemary was stunned, “You did that for us?” She asked softly. “Yes.” Stephanie said with a nod. She turned and left to wipe her eyes. Rosemary and the rest were shocked by this and felt remorseful! “You’ve been in the realm of insanity for a long time and you forgot how kind people are. Maybe it’s time for you to trust people again.” Armin said. “I don’t know where to start…” Rosemary said softly. “For starters, you can trust the Evermore Agency.” Eren replied. Just then; it is reported that Benjamin Hallows is in trouble with Dirge and Inspector Lovell. In the meantime; Taylor found Benjamin working as they reunited but Taylor wanted Benjamin to leave however he refused and got back to work. “Ben, please! You have to listen to me! Dirge is trying to kill you.” Taylor begged. Ben shoves him into a wall and tries to leave when Taylor calls him out again! “Ben, you promised me that this was all about life!” Taylor reminded. Ben stopped when he turned to Taylor and knelt down, “It’s about so much more…I just want to atone for my sins of all the horrors I’ve seen! The deaths of my family! Of other families, the other children that my father has caused them.” He said, crying a little. Taylor looked at him with pity, “Oh Ben…” He replied. It was then Dirge found out Taylor was in here and he tries to explain his plans over again. “I dreamed of an un-killable army, one million strong! And no one is going to stop me!” Dirge exclaimed. “Don’t bet on it, gruesome!” A voice called. It was then Briar and the rest of Evermore Agency entered as Briar got to the ground. Just then; Briar walked towards Ben, who awaited for whatever punishment she had for him. He closed his eyes and stood there however he opened his eyes…To his horror, Briar walked passed him—much to his surprise as well as confusion—and headed straight for Dirge! Briar confronted Dirge, which he toppled down out of the window, shocking Briar and the others. It reminded her of Jacob’s demise and Briar begin to cry, “Why do my enemies just fall to their death? Am I responsible for this?” She thought. Just then, Briar has a vision as she and everyone else were shocked to see Rory flying up with Dirge in her arms! “Rory Leigh!” Briar exclaimed. “Stephanie!” Ben gasped. It was then Rory dropped Dirge to the floor safely, she smiled shyly. She smiled, “Hello Stephanie.” Ben greeted. Stephanie looked shy, “Hi Benjamin.” She addressed. Just then, there was a roar and a figure of a mutation! Briar and everyone were shocked, “What is that?” Briar gasped. “Dear Lord, it came from hell!” Shadrick gasped. Just then; Ben burst out laughing: “Don’t you see my friends? There is no God, nor Devil. There’s only humanity, only me!” He exclaimed. He turned to see the creature, “Come to me!” He called, beckoning the creature. The creature did come to him, Ben’s smile faded slowly as he begins to cry again: “Oh dear mother, my brothers and sisters! I’ve failed you…This isn’t life….You are not life…LIVE!!! LIVE!!!!” Ben shouted while weeping. Taylor was terrified, “Benjamin, don’t!” He exclaimed. The monster tried to choke Ben however Lola uses her telekinesis to save him. “Destroy the beasts, they’re out of control!” Guren instructed. “Each creature has two hearts! Strike them in their chest!” Ben called out. And so, Briar and the others faced the monsters! Dirge watched as Briar and the others slaughtering the mutation monsters, he is horrified by all the destruction. “You’re not going to destroy everything I worked on!” Dirge exclaimed. “I believe they can, Dirge.” A voice said, behind him. Gideon turned around and saw Crowley, Horn and Chess. “You three?! No, no, we had a deal! You made a promise!” Dirge exclaimed. “Well, your reign of terror ends now!” Crowley said. They murdered him in a grisly fashion. Meanwhile; Shadrick scrambles to shoot Rosemary, who was watching, but is stopped by Sylver and stares at her. “It’s you…” Shadrick whispered. Sylver held up a bucket and said, “You’re time is up!” She said. She poured acid onto Shadrick, who screamed as his face and skin were melting off as he was becoming nothing but skin and bones. Once then, the battle was over and the heroes have won. All were standing amongst the rubble of the dead bodies. “We—we did it!” gasped Briar. “It’s over.” Confirmed Solo. Everyone cheered in delight, everyone except Ben who is shell shock when Aslaug put her hands on Ben’s shoulders, “It’s time for you to see through perspective eyes of others.” She whispered. Aslaug phased into Ben and showed him memories of everyone else. He then begins to smile absently which caused everyone to notice. “Are you all right?” Taylor asked with concern. Ben was grinning still, “Better than all right…I can see the visions in my head of everyone’s thoughts and memories. How they feel and how much they care. Like how one watches a documentary film, I can see the past and present of everyone else.” He explained. “B—Ben?” Rory asked. “Their dreams of freedom to see the rest of the world, the unbroken bond is almost like family, rivalries, teamwork and their unspoken feelings to a person or others—It could be love, maybe how much of a friend they are to a person. It’s all very heartwarming, it’s like everything’s connected. It’s incredible, so beautiful…and this is how Briar sees it.” Ben continued. “I’m not sure if I should be concern or embarrassed.” Rosemary remarked. “Forgive him, Aslaug is showing him a perspective view of everyone else.” Explained Briar. “Yes, Briar’s Corruptiion displays the images of memories and thoughts through a telekinetic force of mind over matter.” Ben said. Aslaug left him as she stood there but Ben looked up in horror at her. “Come back! I wanted to see more, you showed it to me and I want to learn more about everyone!” Ben demanded. Aslaug shakes her head, “I’m sorry, I don’t want you to spoil too much but you’ve seen enough and nobody should know more than you already have.” She said. “I could’ve made everyone see, if it wasn’t for you!” Ben cried, tears streaming down his face. “You would’ve already done that a long time ago.” Aslaug informed him. Ben was still but replied, “You’re right.” His voice was melancholia. Sylver put her arms around him, “I love you, Benjamin Hallows. Always and forever.” She said. Sylver and Ben embraced each other. Briar and the others were glad to see that. “It’s about time.” Briar remarked. 


Afterwards; Ben told Evermore about his father: Marcello Hallows was a gifted scientist who suffered a schizophrenic break, which caused him to develop a deranged new person and left a string of mysterious missing persons cases in the wake. Such a perfectionist, Marcello was in love with his work, so much so that he became obsessed with human anatomy and began to mutilate his unfortunate patients' bodies in horrific ways, usually resulting in death. Marcello became so utterly obsessed with making his patients beautiful, that he actually began seeing hallucinations of perfect beautiful women. Marcello looked to this imaginary figure to guide him in his quest to make his patients as beautiful as these women, but his constant failures only drove him further and further down the road of insanity. Later; Briar and the rest stood there with Ben and Taylor in front of a dingey looking building. “Are you sure about this?” Briar asked. “Yes, I started here and I’m ending it here.” Ben answered. Briar nodded, “OK. Let’s do this.” She said. They entered a world of insanity and horror where a man was raving mad to a frightened couple. “Ugh! DISGUSTING!!! This artwork alters nothing. This masterpiece is binding, and that makes me your savior! See? See? I'll make you regret the day we met. I'll see you drawn and quartered! You'll beg for death to save you! And as for you, my darlings, I'll have you locked back in your room for the rest of your days! I am Marcello Friggin' Hallows--your savior! I will have order! I will have perfection!” Marcello exclaimed. Ben felt rage inside him as he exclaimed, “I object!” Heads turned as Marcello recognized his son, “Benjamin? Oh, now what does he want?!” He exclaimed. Ben smugly looked at the people there whom are colleagues and friends of Marcello’s, “Hello everyone. Havin' a good time, are ya? I loathe Hallows Enterprises, first of all. Very grimy.” He said with sarcasm. “What are you doing here? It’s rude enough being alive when no one wants you, but showing up uninvited to my working station...” Marcello scolded. Ben sighed, “Father! I need to talk to you.” He said. Marcello looked in disgust, “Oh, now you wanna talk? It's a little late for that, so if you'll excuse me…” He said turning back to the innocent people but Ben stopped him, “You can’t continue working on these people.” He proclaimed. Marcello looks at him, “And why not?” He demanded. “Because- - Because you are letting people go down in your own delusions!” Ben said brightly. “Outrageous! My people, don't listen to him.” Marcello lied. “He's not your savior.” Artem convinced. “And what do you know about that?” Marcello stipulated. “Well, I - - Uh - - I mean - -!” stammered Artem. “Oh, this is precious. My son has found his humanity! Oh, good Lord.” Laughed Marcello. He is about to stab the couple however Benjamin held him back and Marcello is screaming, "We're not finished! Not finished!" Ben made him look at him, “You were supposed to be my father and I was your son, we were family! Don’t you know that?” He said desperately. However; Marcello broke free. “You were never my son, you were a puppet! A joke, a fool, imagine you as my son? Family? What utter nonsense!” Marcello mocked while laughing. His friends laughed while as Artem felt tears in his eyes. Briar and the others felt bad to Benjamin and glared at Marcello Hallows. Just then, Ben wiped them away. He then stood there and said, “You are nothing to me.” Marcello stopped laughing and looked at him incredulously, “What did you say?!” He demanded. “I said, YOU’RE NOTHING!!!!” Ben exclaimed. “I am nothing? Well, you are mistaken! I cannot believe a fool like you would hang around with these ingrates--!” Marcello shouted. “THESE ARE MY FRIENDS, YOU ARE TRESSPASSING AMONGST MY FRIENDS!!!!” Ben screamed. Briar is shocked by this, as well as everyone else. It all seemed familiar. “You wretched bastard!” yelled Marcello. “IF YOU TOUCH MY FRIENDS AGAIN, I’LL FRIGGIN’ KILL YOU!!!” Ben declared. “YOU KILL ME?! RIDICULOUS! YOU ARE SCUM, LOOK AT ME BOY!!!” Marcello hollered. All of a sudden, a beautiful young lady approached Marcello who showed his true colors of being perverted however the girl seemed familiar in white that showed her ample bosom and her hair is down. “Tell me my dear, what do you seek?” purred Marcello in a sickly sweet voice. “I seek blood, gallons of course.” The girl said. Marcello is shocked, “Why’s that?” He asked with a small laugh. “The years of torture and defilement have changed me Marcello but this is the first you heard from a young lady like me. Violated, experimented, it’s not good for a child.” Rory remarked. Marcello looked at the young lady with pure horror. “Stephanie Fury?” He gasped. “STEPHANIE FURY!!!” Rory screamed. Marcello backed away as he looked up in horror. “I’m tearing the world down with my new powers, all you worked hard for—WATCH IT CRUMBLED BEFORE YOU!!!” Rory exclaimed. People who were Marcello’s friends and partners were being brutally murdered: Some were impaled; their heads cut off and sliced apart. They also were skewered through their mouths and also blended in a mixture that turned bloody! It was too much for Briar and the others as they looked away from the carnage. Marcello is shocked, “You bitch, do you realize what you’ve done?!” He exclaimed. “Yes, I’m ending your nightmare! What’s the matter? Am I stronger than this? I’m a naughty bunny? I could never match up to standards like my family? I already have excelled, I’m your fastest weapon—your un-killable machine! But now? I’m nobody’s weapon, I’m breaking free from you!” Rory said to him. She slams her foot down on Marcello and exclaims, “This is for me! My family! Benjamin! And Heather! I’m sending your ass to the graveyard, your vile soul will be burning in hell!” She used her powers to cause a great massacre, Marcello tried to escape but saw monstrosity of his deceased family. The monsters killed him there as he screamed in horror! “Ben, help me!” Marcello exclaimed, pleading. Ben smirked, “That’s funny, wasn’t I joke to you?” He snarled. Once the gore was over, all were shocked as they burned down the building and head back to Evermore. Ben watched the building engulfed in flames as he watched the place of torment was melting and being destroy from existing. Ben finally turned his back and look forward to a new future. All of a sudden back at the agency; there was a loon of a man babbling to himself and making claims when Ophelia appeared before him. “Who are you?” She asked in a chilling tone. The man then panted out a breath, “That Corruption, don’t listen to him! He is a traitor to his own kind, his lies swallow you up! Don’t listen to him!!!” He stopped and looked at Ophelia with a careful eye, “Miss, do I know you? Don’t I know you from someplace?” The insane man asked to Ophelia. Ophelia looked horrified as she shook her head. “N—No.” She whispered. “Yes! We have met before!” The man exclaimed excitedly as he came closer but Ophelia used her powers to knock him out. Later, the man was in the medical room and was resting but then, Ophelia’s daughters begin to cry and Ophelia looked at the man closely. She looked like she was going to puke. She felt tears prickling at her eyes, “’Don’t I know you miss?’ He said.” Whispered Ophelia. Her daughters are crying over their father’s comatose body. The insane man lying consciously was none other than Laertes, Debbie’s boyfriend and Ophelia’s lover. Abigail could not believe it! “You knew he was alive!” Ophelia said to her Corruption, Polonius. “I was thinking of you, m’lady.” Polonius claimed. Ophelia looked at her Corruption, “You lied to me…” She rasped. Polonius try to lie, try to make up things until the truth came out: He did lied about Laertes being alive because Polonius was in love with Ophelia. She loved Laertes so much that Polonius wanted to rid of him. “What the hell did you see in that self-entitled bastard like him?!” Polonius demanded. Ophelia turned to him, as if to accept him and Polonius gave in until Ophelia renounced him as her trusted Corruption and banished him, despite his pleas and cries, to the depths of Hell! And with that, he was gone. Briar and the rest were in shock on what they witnessed! “I didn’t know you could do that to Corruptions.” Briar said in a shocked voice. “Yeah, guess you can.” Solo replied. “Shit just got real.” Briar answered. She looked at the window as she could see that Ophelia, her five daughters and Laertes were together once again. Ever since what happened to Marcello Hallows, Dirge and Inspector Lovell; it seemed everything at peace for now. Though Kureto Hiragi is still out there, as for the girls—Carna, Roz, Nyx and Blossom; they’ve been rehabilitated as they reunited with their foster guardian. The Fury Sisters and Stephanie, on the other hand, had vanished but left behind the man that was the sisters’ father. Even Ophelia was gone! What nobody knew that Sylver sneaked off as she held a bowl of food and quietly went to the puzzle shaped door; she looked around before opening it. Sylver slipped inside and closed it, she balanced the bowl carefully as she placed it down gently. Sylver waited there for a few minutes, then Ophelia appeared! And so did Stephanie, Rosemary, Pansy, Rue and Collie. Rosemary looked at the bowl, “Pretzels? I wanted potato chips!” She claimed. “Come on, adapt for now. And by the way; pretzels are delicious.” Sylver claimed. “Food, shelter and some place new. I can’t believe you’re letting us stay here.” Stephanie replied. “Think of it as a witness protection and it’ll save the hassle from being hunted down by Kureto Hiragi.” Sylver said. Ophelia patted her shoulder, “We’ll keep your fears at bay, you don’t have to be afraid anymore.” She assured her. “Thank you.” Sylver said softly. Stephanie looked at her, “What will you do now?” She asked. “Well, I’ll work hard and maybe one day I’m going to face Kureto someday.” Sylver replied. “Good for you, I think you are better off facing that bastard. You suffered the hardest.” Rosemary said. Sylver nodded, “Thank you.” She replied. Then, she said: “So, when you do come back to Evermore; you’ll stop the killings of remorseless bastards?” Rosemary shook her head, “Nah, but we’ll make some exceptions and changes. And we won’t be tormenting the Evermore agents and their friends ever again.” She promised. Stephanie smiled wider than the rest of her family as she said, “I’ll work hard on being an agent of Evermore, that’ll be my goal when we come back.” Sylver nodded, “Good to know. Sorry, but I have to get back or the others will be worried.” She said, “I promise to come back soon.” She got up and smiled at Rue and Collie smiling up at her. Sylver pat their heads, “See you soon girls. Be good.” She said. She looked up and said, “See ya Rosemary.” Rosemary smiled in return, “Bye my Angel of Music.” She replied. Sylver turned and walked off. “Good-bye, see you soon!” Pansy called, waving. Sylver waved back, “Bye!” She hollered back. Sylver entered back into the agency while shutting and locking the puzzle door. That’s when she found a letter from Benjamin: “Dearest Sylver, I do apologize for the trouble I caused. In truth, I loved you so much and always will. I’m such a selfish bastard to leave you but I’m willing to make new discoveries and improve. I also would like to study the perspective view of others, just like that Corruption girl showed me. Oh Sylver, if only you could see what I saw! I understand how Briar Devlin sees the lives of others; I’ll return soon my darling love so please wait for me. You are my crystal of beauty, my treasure. I cannot to return and share what I discovered. Sincerely, with love, Ben.” Sylver smiled, she kissed the letter and held it close to her heart. “I love you too; I’ll be here waiting for you.” Sylver whispered. In the meantime; Taylor received a letter from Ben, “Dear Taylor, I apologize for the trouble I caused, I hate to leave you but I must find out what went wrong. Perhaps make amends, I’m also studying the perspective lives of others, Briar has caused an impact upon me. I’ll return with news on my discoveries, we shall see each other again soon. Take care, and look forward to future projects to work on when I get back. You were my greatest discovery, I’ll never forget you. Your friend, Benjamin Hallows.” Taylor smiled, he turned to Ravenna and they embraced each other. Mia, Alex and the others managed to find allied forces for Evermore. Meanwhile; Ben was seated on a bench with Justine Magnus as he stared into space. “City in peril, worlds from afar through portals, The MPD, new recruits of friends. Agents, one girl: Briar Devlin.” Ben recited. “We all know the story, Benjamin. Why do you want to see me? If this is about making up for what Dirge did…” Justine started to say. “You would’ve found closure, but the pain is still deep.” Ben said. Justine looked at him when Benjamin, “This is a confession. Forgive me, Justine, for I have sinned....A lot. I’m so sorry.” Ben said, “I know I've seen the error of my ways can't change that. But there is one thing that I can do to honor the agents.” He gave Justine a book and looked through it. Justine read the book, “Is this…?” She asked. “The perspective views of everyone within Evermore. I memorize it all in my head, I also wrote on the future worlds.” Ben said. “No way.” Justine replied in shocked. “But that’s for the future, I cannot allow to say.” Ben claimed. He heard the train coming and bids Justine farewell before boarding on. As Ben left; Justine read the book and smiled to herself, “They say a person comes into one’s life and creates an impact upon a person or more.” She remarked. The children that were being with the Fury Sisters are being a better life under the care of Evermore though their testimonies of the Fury Family had to be classified and protected from anyone else. During all the children’s glorified cheers and laughter; Sylver smiled, she saw in her head of Rosemary waving before she joined the rest of her family as they happily run into their new life. It was time for Miss Vanderpool and the other children to go back home. Before got on the bus; Miss Vanderpool thanked Alem and Briar as the children boarded the bus back home. “You are always welcome back here anytime.” Alem said. Miss Vanderpool smiled, thanking him. She then gets on the bus while JT got on. Emily called out, “I’ll be right on, just need a moment.” She turned to Yuu and Kimizuki there. “Thank you, for everything.” Said Emily. “I guess this is goodbye, huh.” Yuu said. “Hope you come back to visit.” Kimizuki added. “You should come by us, maybe see something more peculiar for a change.” Remarked Emily, with a wink. “Emily, you know that I--we--really care about you. You're like...” Yuu try to say. That’s when; Emily got annoyed as she rebuked them, “Yuuchiro Hyakuya and Shiho Kimizuki, I swear if you guys say 'I'm like a sister to you,' I'm going to fly home alone!” She glared at them. “Sorry, but I know you'll find that special person some day.” Yuu said. Happy to hear this; Briar embraced them both and pulled away to smile at them, “So will you two. You deserve it. Someone who is quiet, understanding, patient...” She said. Just then, Mitsuba called out: “Hey boys! Get your tails in here, Guren's got an assignment for us.” Yuu and Kimizuki glanced at the strange girl annoyed but Briar grinned at them while she assured them: “Remember, if you ever change your mind about us; feel free to come on up any time.” She walked away into the bus as the bus drives Miss Vanderpool and the children away back home. Yuu and Kimizuki watched the bus pulls away, when Mitsuba called out again: “Guys!” Yuu turned, he sighed as he and Kimizuki walked over while Yuu called out, “Coming!” Meanwhile; Justine had photos of Crowley. “I need to know—why did you kill Dirge? What is the connection with Guren and Yuu? Why did you help them and Sylver? Why?” She asked. In the meantime; Kureto looked at the photo of Sylver with pink hair glowing, her deathly pallor complexion, dark circles under her pretty eyes, purple lips, and pastel pink dress with embroidered floral detail, pink silk ribbon and a sheer lace beaded cover.
