Chapter 2

Chloe goes on a mission with the others but got separated from her friends and it was dark. She looked around in fear, when she thought she heard something. “Hello, who’s there?” She called. But there was no answer, she looked all around and saw nothing…Or so she thought. Chloe called out, “Listen, this is not funny Briar. I’m scared! If that’s you, come on out!” There was no reply, just then she heard a hiss so she turned and saw something before letting out a scream! Meanwhile; Briar was gliding in the air and used her powers to take down the Infestations, but then she is shot down and is knocked out. The Infestations were looking over at her unconscious body. “Think she's still there?” The first Infestation asked. “All right. Let's get her while she’s still down!” The second Infestation said, it was about to spring to her. “Wait. Do you know what that girl can do to you?” The third Infestation inquired. “Yes, she'll break you apart or your neck.” The fourth Infestation remarked. Just then, a high pitched voice that was scratchy male voice sounded startled the Infestations. “Yeah, well, actually, that would be too easy. Now, what I can do is much worse.” The Infestations turned around and growled. “No!” One of the Infestations roared. “I'll punch you multiple times. Maybe give you great pain, something you’ll remember.” The guy said with a musing and teasing tone. “Back! Back, human! Back! I warn you!” The Infestation said with waving scratch marks. But the guy took them down with his rubber, extended arms and took a few of them down. The others were frightened as they stared at the guy. “This is the part where you run away.” Said the guy. The Infestations scramble to get away. The guy just laughs. “And stay out!” He called. He walks over to Briar’s unconscious body and stared at her before saying, “Hey, are you OK?” Briar moaned, she slowly got up and clutched her head. “Oww, that’s what happens when you go down the rabbit hole…” Briar moaned. “Are you all right?” The guy asked again. Briar nodded and took a notice of the guy, he looked like a young man with a boyish look: He wears a straw hat, short, blue trousers with cuffs, sandals, and a sleeveless red vest. Luffy also has a scar with two stitches underneath his left eye and short, messy black hair. He was severely wounded with a large X-shaped scar on his chest. Appearing to be scrawny underneath his shirt, he has a surprisingly well-built physique. He is quite short since he appears dwarfed by most individuals in the series. Briar was taken by surprise, “Who are you?” She asked. “Why, I’m Monkey D. Luffy! I’m going to be King of the Pirates.” The guy said with a beaming smile. “I’m Briar Devlin and I’m Queen of the Psychos.” Joked Briar. Luffy tiled his head sideways, “Hmm? You are?” He asked. “I’m kidding, nice to meet you.” Briar replied. Just then, Briar took a notice of his scar on his chest. “Who did that to you?” She asked. Luffy shrugged, but he had another question in mind: “How did you do that? You moved something with your mind. Did you?” Luffy asked with excitement. Briar’s face cracked into a nervous smile. “You saw that?” She inquired. “You gotta tell me everything, what else can you do?!” Luffy said happily with stars in his eyes. Briar was speechless but she laughed, she liked this guy already! For the moment; Randi was facing off against the Infestations with her nymph powers however she is nearly overpowered when a skinny, curvaceous and orange long haired girl saves her. Randi was surprised, relief and she broke into enthusiasm. “Whoa, what place is this? Tell me I didn't miss the parade! Ooh, I just love this place!” Randi rambled with excitement, she stopped after realizing what she done. The girl with orange hair stared in amazement, “You can fight…?” She asked. Randi beamed, “’Course I can fight—I fight like a girl, sweet cheeks. Ah, crap. I must look a mess!” She said. Randi takes a compact and powders her face and applying lipstick. “Ooh, mm, there. Much better.” Randi said while she fluffs her hair and her teeth sparkle. “I'm glad to see your face. There's no life in the dark. Ready! Take me to the nearest casbah!” She said while rambling but the girl stopped her. “What's your name?” The girl asked. “Personal, eh? I'm Randi.” Randi said. She shakes the girl's hand, “Pleased to meet you, Miss.” The girl shook her hand in return, “My friends call me Nami.” The girl said. “So, Nami, what brings you here?” Randi said. “Ah, Nami. There you are, I see you made a friend.” A woman’s voice remarked. Randi jumped and spun around, “Wha—Another girl? Shoot, she’s pretty.” Randi remarked. The woman looked much older but her beauty was quite exotic. “Nami, who’s this?” The woman asked with curiosity. “Uh, this is Randi. Randi, this is Nico Robin.” Nami said, not sure how to process this. Randi stared at her, “Wow! Nico Robin, sounds slick—edgy—cool.” She remarked. “And I’m not? For saving your life?” Nami asked, a little peeved. “That’s not it, you’re cool too but you’ve got a unique style.” Randi reassured her. Nami is suspicious of Randi, “What the hell For the time being; Maggie is looking over to help her steady herself. The tree is surrounded by a bubbling water hole. Maggie teeters across some wobbly rocks floating in the pool. She grabs the tree and steadies herself. “Hi there, missy!” A voice said. Maggie is startled, “AHHH!” She exclaimed. She falls in and is soaked when she looks up, terrified. But it’s only a blue haired muscle bound and tall guy above her. “Hello!” said the blue haired guy. “Shit man! You scared me, dude! I nearly soiled myself!” Maggie exclaimed. “What’s your name, stranger?” The blue haired guy asked casually. “Maggie. Maggie Wolfe.” Maggie said. “You’re not from here, are you?” The blue haired guy remarked. “No, not from right in this area.” Maggie explained brightly. She noticed that the guy’s body parts are rather silver and metal. “What’s with your size and is that metal there?” Maggie asked. “Oh, I’m a cyborg.” The guy said, “Name’s Franky by the way. Good to meet you Maggie.” In the meantime; Tilda look around her surroundings and remarks, “Wow. Whatever this place is, could be paradise hell.” She laughs a little to herself. “HOLD IT!” A voice exclaimed, having a sling shot in her face and Tilda could see a guy with a long nose like Pinocchio. Tilda held her hands up, “Hey! Hey! Take it easy!” She protested. “You take one more step and it'll be your--!” The long nosed guy laughs and lowers the sling shot. “You should've seen the look on your face!” He managed to say. He continues to laugh when Tilda narrowed her eyes and kicked the long nosed in the shin. The long nosed guy cries out in pain, “Owwwww! Oh, that hurt!” He groaned. Tilda looked at him with a frown, “Don’t ever do that again.” She said. Alone and afraid; Marina jumped and ducked. It was getting creepier and creepier for Marina, she has no idea where she is. Just then, a voice within this house made her shivered. "OOOOOOO" Marina is terrified, "Um, I...I mean no harm." She said in a timid voice. But the voice sounded like it was getting closer, Marina called back, "Who are you? Where are you?" But then, the voice got even more closer. Marina was really scared, "Oh Lordy-Lord." She thought. But then she thought, "It doesn't know where I am." She was however, she heard the voice coming down at her. Marina backed away, but she thud against something and heard the voice in her ear, she then turned around and saw a skeleton man. Marina screamed, she fell to the ground. Marina curled up and was afraid to look up. A laugh snapped her out of her fear. Marina looked up to see the skeleton man laughing! “Yo-ho-ho! Hi.” The skeleton man greeted in a jolly manner. “Hi... are you a real skeleton?” Marina said in an awkward manner. “Yo-ho-ho! Of course I'm a real skeleton, are you a real human?” The skeleton man inquired. Marina was awkward, “Yeah, but...you're just a little weird.” She admitted. “So are you, yo-ho-ho! No offense, but you seem a little strange with that light coming from your hands, my dear.” The skeleton man answered. “Where did you come from?” Marina asked. “On a ship.” The skeleton replied. “A ship huh, that's.....awesome.” Marina managed to say. The skeleton man leaned in and said, “I have a question for you, sweetie.” Marina is surprised, “Ask away.” She said with a discomfited smile. “Can I see your panties?” The skeleton man asked. Marina cupped her ear and leaned at the skeleton man, “…Que paso?” She asked. “Can I see your PANTIES?!” The skeleton man inquired a little louder. Marina kicked the skeleton man in the leg, “AI-YA, ARE YOU PSYCHO? ABSOLUTELY NADA!” She exclaimed. Just then, there was a blood curdling scream that startled everyone! “Oh crap, CHLOE!” Briar yelled, fearing for the worst for her friend. 

While lying there alone; Chloe cried out in pain from the sharp teeth in her chest previously, she grunts over the wound and puts her hands over it. “Auuggghhhh, it hurts! Hurts like hell…” She groaned. Chloe heard Briar’s voice calling her name and talking to somebody. The next thing she knew she was picked up off the ground. “Mmmmm….” She moaned. When Chloe looked up, she saw some sort of stoic but tough looking, green haired guy and was flustered. “Oh, a fair maiden? Thank you to the heavens for bringing your league of fair maidens to guide us even this one is promising! I swear, she’s an angel!” One guy came beside the guy to see Chloe with hearts on his eyes, who just wriggled and try to kick the guy, “Back off Don Giovanni, I’m in pain!” Chloe shouted. “Aww, c’mon sweetheart!” The guy pleaded. “Great balls of fire, don’t call me sweetheart!” Chloe warned. “But we have to savor this moment!” The guy begged. Chloe glared at the womanizer, “I don't think so.” She rejoined. “Can I at least know the name of this lost soul?” The guy said. Chloe struggled against the pain, “Uh, Chloe Birchhart.” She answered. “Chloe huh.” The guy said, he gives her a rose and said: “I give you this as a get well soon gift. Here.” Said the guy. Chloe pushed the rose away, “Please!” She moaned and finally got to see the doctor but sends everyone away except the doctor, who is a small reindeer and examines her. The doctor was in shocked by the creature’s bite mark above her bosom; he couldn’t believe what he was seeing of how deep the wound was. “Is it that bad?” Chloe inquired anxiously. “No, I just need my tools.” The reindeer assured. He pulled out his bag with a needle and thread but as he was creating the stitch, he didn’t do the anesthesia. Once poking the needle into her skin; Chloe let out a moan, the doctor cringed. “Sorry, my bad!” He said. “Some doctor you are, I—urgh! Of all the stupid…” grumbled Chloe. Once she got her wound fixed up, Chloe sighed while she composed herself. The Straw Hats seemed to have lost their ship and are trying to relocate it and are using a different ship that the Infestations previously had. She learns that the guys she encountered with is Zoro and Sanji. Chloe then learns she and her friends are going to be staying with these people so Chloe begs and demands for room in the instant. Long nosed guy name Usopp and the reindeer name Tony Tony Chopper seemed to found a room but the other Straw Hats convinced them that this isn’t a good room because it’s a wreck. However; Chloe held her hands up, “No, no—it’s fine. I just need something to block the other broken windows from view.” She said. “Like what?” Usopp asked incredulously. There was a rip and Chloe held out a purple fabric. “Um, a curtain?” She said like a ‘duh’. Chloe marched away and set up the curtain as she replied, “Well ladies and gents, I’m going to sleep so good night!” The Straw Hats watched her retreat to the room. “Um, would you like some company? I’ll send one of the boys in there if you want. You know, for company?” teased Chopper. “I said, GOOD NIGHT!” exclaimed Chloe, startling the others. That night, Chloe couldn’t sleep at night because of Brook’s singing, she struggled to but then she grunted and sat up. Chloe ambled out where she saw Usopp and Chopper there. They saw her and smiled, “Hey, can’t sleep?” Usopp asked. “No, I couldn’t.” Chloe sighed. Moments later; Chloe showed Usopp and Chopper a book, as she spoke: “….And um, that’s Gudrun, the second Valkyrie besides Brynhilde.” Chopper nodded, “Right.” Chloe smiled, “Uh huh.” She said. Usopp looked at the book and turned to Chloe, “Can this book show the future?” He inquired. “Well, no. But it shows stories.” Chloe clarified. “There has to be more—What happened to all of them?!” Chopper begged. “I don’t know really, it was thousands of years.” Chloe said. Usopp sighed, “Hey, what do you do for fun?” Chopper asked. “For fun?” Chloe asked. “You know, when you’re not out and about.” Usopp replied. “Me? I don’t do stuff for fun, and besides the only fun I do is mope.” Chloe said sarcastically as she turns from them. Chopper frowned, “You cut me real deep Chloe.” He perked up and remarked, “You know what I think? You had a rough past.” Chloe looked at him and said with sarcasm, “Nooo, you think?” She then pouted and her legs crossed. Usopp also still pestered her, “You hidin’ something?” Chloe rolled her eyes, “Never mind guys.” She replied. Chopper wasn’t buying it, “Ahhh, this is some sort of complications.” He guessed. “No, this is one of those ‘I don’t want to talk about it’ things.” Chloe said aggregately. “Why not?” Usopp asked. “Why do you care?” Chloe demanded, turning away. “Is it hard to explain?” Chopper pressed. “N—no.” Chloe stammered nervously. “Liar!” Usopp teased. “Usopp, Chopper, I’m warning you!” warned Chloe. “Who do you have against? Huh, who?” Chopper argued. Chloe exhaled while exclaiming, “PEOPLE! OK?!” Usopp and Chopper looked surprised, “Oh now we’re getting somewhere.” Chopper suddenly remarked and grinned. “Ohhhh, of all the things good and….” Chloe huffed. She turned away. “What do you have against us people anyway?”  asked Chopper. “I don’t have anything against no one, it’s people that think I’m a curse. They judge me and think I’m unworthy, why do you think I’m pathetic?” Chloe said sadly. Usopp and Chopper looked at her with sympathy clouded their eyes and came beside her. “You know, when we met…I always thought you were cool. I never thought you were weak.” Chopper said. Chloe looked at them, “You mean it?” She inquired. “Mmm-hmm.” Confirmed Usopp with a nod. This made Chloe smiled, “Thanks.” She answered. And they stared at the stars and moon. The next day, Briar and the others were at breakfast but Briar didn’t see Chloe so Usopp and Chopper decides to go get her and found her still sleeping in her bed. “Wakey-wakey! Look alive, sunny side breakfast awaits for you!” Chopper said in a sing song tone. Chloe ducked into the covers, moaning. “Wakey-wakey up! Up and at ‘em!” Usopp said firmly. Chloe groaned, “All right, all right! I’m up, I’m up, geez! Give me a minute.” She said in a groggy tone. Chloe staggered out and rubbed her eyes. She sat at the table and dazedly looked at her plate in front. “What’s the Hancock building doing here?” She asked. “Chloe? That’s your breakfast.” Briar clarified. Chloe was then wide awake, “Say what?” She inquired. “Morning, um…You hungry?” Sanji asked nicely. “What’s this about?” Chloe asked curiously. “Well, we got off to a bad start and I want to make it up to you. After all; you did had a horrible time yesterday.” Sanji explained. “Um, thanks.” Chloe said. “Eat up; we got a big day ahead of us.” Sanji said. Chloe smiled, despite herself and dug into her breakfast. Once everyone was done; Chloe excused herself to get changed and left. It was then Zoro pulled Sanji aside and hissed: “What the hell are you doing?” Sanji looked at him, “What am I doing? I’m just being nice to her! What’s it to ya?” He demanded. Those two started arguing while Briar watched them, she turned to Luffy and asked in a quiet voice for him to hear: “Are they always like this?” Luffy beamed, “Yeah, they can’t stand each other. Pretty complicated huh?” He said a little brightly. “Yeah, it is.” Briar remarked. Briar was thinking of busting her psychokinesis against with them when she turned to the others and said calmly, “Duck….” Usopp looked over, “What? Is there a duck in the room?” He asked. “No! I mean, DUCK!!!” Briar exclaimed. They all ducked when a clean plate swing in and bam into something. Heads are raised from where they hid; Zoro held the back of his head and Sanji clutched his shoulder. “Ow…” They moaned. They turned angrily and tried to find out who did it but they were shocked to see the doorway. Briar and the others followed their gazes and looked there with shocked. Chloe panted, she was the one that threw that clean plate at Zoro and Sanji. She gritted her teeth as she growled: “Are you kidding me?! It’s early in the morning and you two are fighting? Ugh! No way, no how, not today!” Then she exclaimed in a scary tone, “CAN’T YOU TWO GET ALONG FOR LIKE FIVE MINUTES?!” Briar stared at her friend, “Holy…” She muttered. Chloe was about to advanced when Briar held Chloe back and coaxed her to go get ready. When Chloe came back from changing, her outfit was different—much to everyone’s surprise: Chloe’s outfit was of Gothic and pastel. A black and baby pink top, purple jeans and black combat boots with pale blue laces. It was then Zoro and Sanji learnt that they were gonna be working together with Chloe, which Zoro and Sanji despise each other but Chloe outright refused! “Oh no, I’m not going with these two idiots who can’t stand one another!” Chloe proclaimed. “I’m afraid you don’t have much of a choice, Clo. Gotta make do what you have.” Briar said. “Then, why did you set me up with them?” Chloe demanded. “Good question, you should find out when you’re with them.” Briar remarked. “I rather team up with better people, not a swordsman and a shitty cook!” Chloe replied. “Look you pristine brat, you’re not making my job easier and you’re coming whether you like it or not.” Zoro snapped. “Ha, you wouldn’t dare!” Chloe scoffed. Zoro seized Chloe and put her over his shoulder while Chloe squirmed and thrashed. “Hey, put me down!” She protested while she is being taken away and still ranting. “Put me down or you will suffer the consequences, this is not dignified, put me down….” Chloe exclaimed. Briar waved brightly, “Have fun you three, try not to kill each other!” She hollered cheerfully. And so Briar and the gang head out! Moments later; Chloe had stopped yelling and calmed down. She just hangs there limply while Zoro carries her. Sanji was talking, “OK, let me ask you one more time, do you remember what the face or anything distinguishing? Do you?” He asked. “Like I said, I don’t remember.” Chloe remarked. “Hmm, weird. Are you hiding something?” Sanji asked. “No, I seriously don’t remember.” Chloe insisted. “Don’t sweat it, she probably doesn’t remember much when she got a piercing.” Zoro joked lamely. Chloe scoffs, “That was such a lame joke. That’s not funny.” She remarked with a smirk. “Want to know something funny?” Sanji said with a sneer, “Zoro here doesn’t have enough brains big enough for his muscles; they could likely drain his strength so much.” Zoro scoffs, “Ha, I guess you have the most issues with you being a lost cause to so many women.” He said. “C’mon Chloe ain’t a hard catch.” Sanji said. “No, she’s just bitten! Get it? Just bitten?” Zoro laughed darkly. 

Chloe laughs along with him but then she kicks Zoro in the shin, he lets out a yelp of pain. Sanji sneered in surprise. Chloe lands on her feet easily; she flipped her hair with a “Hmph!” and then muttered, “Jerks!” Chloe stalked off, muttering to herself incoherently. She was walking off when she heard them debating again: “I think we’re supposed to turn.” Zoro said. “I thought you know exactly where we were going!” Sanji asserted. “Do we go left or right?” inquired Zoro in an irritated voice. Chloe groaned, “What is it now?” She marched over to them, “What are you arguing about now, idiots?” Zoro showed her the map, “Where's north? Tell me which way north is on this map?” He demanded. Chloe looked at the map, “North is always up, and, by the way, you've got it reversed.” She explained. “What? It's up? Reversed? Where the hell?” Zoro said. Chloe looked in disbelief, “He doesn’t know?” She asked Sanji. “Got poor direction.” Sanji exclaimed. “Oh, brother. He's seriously nuts.” Sighed Chloe. Later, they were still getting at each other: “I keep telling you, we gotta go north!” Chloe exclaimed. “Sorry, but tell me again, is north the direction of the hand you hold your fork with?” Zoro asked. “This guy is really nuts.” Chloe grunted. Zoro and Sanji were still bickering when Chloe heard a growl sound, she shushed the boys: “Shh, the hell was that?” That’s when they heard a roar! Just then, the creature exposed himself and jumped out; scaring Chloe, Zoro and Sanji! The creature completely skewed and scarred by fungus developed from their infected brains. The fungal plates have apparently adapted to keep the pathogen alive and able to spread, as a direct shot to the head with a powerful weapon such as a revolver will more often than not just break off a chunk of the mold, leaving the brain harmed but exposing the victim's head. The creature was dangerous and much more aggressive as it had bioluminescent vein in its head. They have fungal growths on the head and back with glowing white eyes, the development of pseudo-echolocation, and their discretion upon spotting a victim at distance. They strafe and take cover, eventually closing in on the victim, they charge directly at the victim. Chloe stepped away but fell into a hole and realized Zoro and Sanji are in trouble so she decides to save them but disguises herself. In an instant; Chloe became a Goth girl with a red and black checkered skirt, a black smock with long sleeves, a pair of fishnet tights, fishnet gloves and knee high boots. And wore a black wig to boot! She then slipped out and found Zoro and Sanji while sneaking behind them. “Hey!” Chloe exclaimed. Zoro and Sanji turned around startled as they saw her. “What?” They asked. “Are you Zoro and Sanji?” Chloe asked. Luckily, those two don’t recognize it’s Chloe. “Yes.” Zoro replied. Sanji became instantly smitten, “Well, you sure are a sight worth seeing!” He complimented. “Aww, how sweet! C’mon let’s blow this pop stand!” Chloe replied sarcastically. “Hold it, where did you come from? Are you gonna kill us?” Zoro asked. “No, now get moving! We gotta bust a move!” Chloe said. “Man, what’s with the makeup?” Zoro demanded. “It’s a guise, ‘kay?” Chloe snapped. “Well, this is a first.” Zoro retorted. Chloe turned to them in surprise, “First time being saved from a strange girl huh?” She asked. “Yup.” Sanji said. Chloe let out a yelp, she kicked down the door and hurried out. Just then, there was a blood curdling roar. “You didn’t slay that monster?” Zoro demanded. “It’s on my to-do list, now let’s Vamos!” Chloe demanded. “What kind of girl are you?” Zoro exclaimed. Chloe turned and sneered, “One hell of a kind!” Chloe exclaimed. She used her powers to take down the monsters and managed to get the guys to safety. Once they were safe, Chloe gasped for breaths. “That was wonderful! But unorthodox I’ll admit.” Sanji said. “C’mon, that was lousy and you know it!” Zoro complained. “It wasn’t that bad, idiot! Besides, what do you think would’ve happened if this black haired angel didn’t come and save us!” Sanji said. Chloe cocked her hips and smirked, “OK, I hope you heard that right—He called me an angel.” She said. Then squealed: “He thinks I’m an angel!” Sanji chuckled but Zoro rolled his eyes. “Mind taking off the guise?” Sanji asked. Chloe looked nervous, “Um…Nein!” She proclaimed. “Why not?” inquired Zoro. “I—I’m a froggy, frumpy chick!” Chloe lied. “Oh don’t give us that crap, I’m sure you’re different from the other pirates.” Zoro said convincingly. Chloe was stunned to hear this: “Wait, wait a sec—you think I’m a pirate?” Chloe asked. “Um, yes.” Zoro said. Chloe stared at them before bursting out laughing, “You guys think I’m a pirate!” She said while still giggling. “What’s so funny?” Sanji inquired annoyed. “Let’s just say I’m not what you think I am.” Chloe claimed. “Of course you are, come on take-off the guise.” Sanji said. “Um, no thank you! I’m not comfortable with this.” Chloe said. “Remove the disguise.” Zoro said in a biting tone. “I’m not going to.” Chloe said firmly. “Don’t make me pissed off, remove the disguise right now!” Zoro demanded. “No!” Chloe exclaimed. “NOW!” hollered Sanji. “All right, all right, take it easy! As you wish, my liege…Dammit, cannot believe I’m doing this.” Chloe said with a moan. Chloe took out a handkerchief and wiped the makeup off while removing her wig. She noticed the two guys looked stunned. “Ta-da.” Chloe said with a dramatic motion with arms in sarcasm. “I—it’s you.” Sanji said stunned. Chloe gave them a weird look, then she said with rolling eyes. “Ohh, were you expecting someone else?” She retorted. “I didn’t know that was…You….” Zoro said, truthfully, “That was all you?” Chloe stood there confidently, “Aye sir!” She proclaimed. “You’re not exactly what I’d expected.” Zoro admitted. “Maybe you shouldn’t judge people before you get to know them.” Chloe rejoined. She laughs while walking away when all of a sudden, she got pounced and rolled down! Chloe struggled with the Infestation, who let out a raspy laugh and taunted her: “I’ll cut you in half! I’ll tear your heart out and when I’m finished, your body will be in---” But then, the Infestation was kicked and Chloe gasped as she saw it was Sanji who glared at the creature. “Damn, that was annoying!” Sanji exclaimed. “Holy crow!” gasped Chloe. Zoro looked annoyed, “Tch.” He tsked. “Ohhh, you ingrate human!!!” screamed another Infestation and the brethren started pounced. Weapons were triggered; Zoro seized Chloe to protect her. But Sanji didn’t hesitate to fight back against the monsters and took them out! Once he was done; he sighed and walked over to Chloe with a hangdog smile. “Shall we?” Sanji asked. He walked off as Chloe stared with wide eyes. “Wait a minute!” She said, shoving Zoro back. She rushed after Sanji as she was excited. “Hold the phone, where the hell did that come from dude?” Chloe asked with excitement. “What?” Sanji said. “Back there, that was the best damn thing I’ve seen! Where did you learn that?” Chloe claimed. Sanji looked modest, “Well, I trained a long time and it’s no big so…” He stopped and saw Chloe’s bosom but his eyes widened. “You perv! Don’t looked at my chest!” Chloe protested. “There’s an arrow in your chest.” Sanji said calmly. Chloe looked at him confused, “Huh?” She asked. “There’s a friggin’ arrow in your chest!” Zoro exclaimed. Chloe looked down, “Oh hello there!” She said. Tilda, Usopp and Chopper came and asked what was going on but soon saw the arrow in Chloe’s chest: “OH CRAP!!! Is it in your lungs? Are you still able to take in air properly?” Usopp yelled. “Hey, hey, I’m OK.” Chloe said calmly. “Keep breathing! Don’t move your chest so much~!” Chopper exclaimed, waving his hooves around as Chloe sighed in annoyance. Tilda comes to Chloe’s rescue and convinced Usopp and Chopper to find plants as Zoro agreed with her logic. Usopp and Chopper are convinced and goes with Tilda. As they were gone; Chloe cocked her head confused, “What’s the plants for?” She asked. Zoro glanced at her smugly, “To get rid of Chopper and Usopp.” He remarked. “Ah, I see!” Chloe said with a simple nod. “Now stay still so I can gouge this out.” Zoro said, pulling on the arrow which made Chloe jump back. “Ow, easy man!” She squalled. “Sorry, but it needs to be dislodged.” Zoro protested. Chloe backed away, “No, no don’t!” She said while Zoro chased her, “Hey, don’t move!” He hollered. Chloe claimed, “I’m fine really.” Zoro grunted, “Stop it!” He growled. “Hapaya!” Chloe laughed a little. “Chloe!” Zoro said with annoyance. Chloe stopped and held a hand up quickly, “HALT!” Zoro froze, he made a face and put her hand down, grabbing her wrist in the process. Chloe squeaked. “Fine, got any better ideas?” Zoro snapped. Chloe turned to Sanji and grinned, “How did you guess?” She asked. Tilda, Usopp and Chopper was looking for plants as Usopp and Chopper yammering: “Let’s see, where—where--where? Ha, ha, ha, can’t find it!” Then, Chloe’s yells caused Usopp and Chopper to hurry but Isabel is disturbed to think Chloe’s gasping yelps sounded like she was having copulatory congress. “Ahhh! Seriously?” Chloe groaned. Zoro had the arrow halfway out, “OK, calm down. I can see the head of it, it’s coming out a little…” He said. Chloe grunted, she threw her hands up while saying, “ENOUGH YOU---!” But she accidentally fell onto Zoro and tripped Sanji on accident. The three of them are embarrassed and discomfited. “Well, this is awkward.” Chloe admitted. “A--hem!” A voice said. Chloe, Zoro and Sanji look up to see Tilda, Usopp and Chopper smirking. “It’s not what you think…” Chloe claimed, pushing the two away while composing herself. “We were um…” Chloe started to explain but Usopp and Chopper was shaking her head, trying not to laugh. “Look, if you wanted a ménage a trios, you could’ve said something OK?” Tilda joked. Chloe shuddered, “No! I’m not that girl! Are you trying to assume I want something like that? It’s just simply—Ah!” She said but then she yelped when the arrow gouged out instantly. Chloe turned around stunned to see Sanji holding the arrow sheepishly. She turned to him, looking stunned. “….Ow.” Chloe rasped. “Hey, what’s that?” Usopp asked. “It’s blood.” Chopper remarked. “Yay!” Usopp cheered and fainted. Chloe and Tilda was surprised, Zoro sighed and picked up Usopp’s body while carrying her. The group reunited with Briar and the gang while they arrived at a tall building. “There it is, ladies. The ship before you.” Zoro said to Briar and the other girls. “That's your pirate ship?” Chloe asked. “Yeah, I know. It's pretty shady and crappy looking...” Usopp retorted but Franky steps on his foot. “Ow!” Usopp cried.  “Um, I, uh- - I guess we better move on.” Zoro replied in an awkward tone. Chloe nodded, “Sure. But, boys? I'm - - I'm worried about Usopp and Chopper.” She said. Zoro was confused, “What?” He asked. “I mean, look at them. They don't look so good.” Chloe claimed. Zoro realized this and played along, Sanji was surprised by what Chloe was up to and smirked a bit. “What are you talking about? We’re fine.” Chopper assured clueless. Chloe forced them to look at her in the eyes, “That's what they always say, and then next thing you know, you're on your back.” She paused and said, “…Dead from the neck up.” Usopp and Chopper looked shocked, while Zoro commented: “You know, she's right. You look awful.” Sanji looked concerned, “Do you want to sit down?” He asked. “You know, I'll make you some tea.” Offered Chloe. “OK, I think you guys are right. I uh, Chopper? Do I look like I might go on my back ‘cause I have this pain in my spine!” Usopp said all panicking. Chopper also panicked, “Oh! Really? Why didn’t you say something? I think I can’t feel my toes either! WAIT! I DON’T HAVE ANY TOES!” He yelled. "Who's hungry? I'll make dinner." Sanji offered. "Splendid, I love some." Chloe remarked. 

Later; Sanji is cooking the rest of dinner while Chloe eats with the others but she is alone with him. “Mmm. This is good. This is really good. What is this?” said Chloe with a mouthful food while trying not to open her mouth too wide. “Uh, Bone-in Meat.” Sanji said. “No kidding. Well, this is delicious.” Chloe remarked, smiling. Sanji smiled, “Well, they're also great in stews. Now, I don't mean to brag, but I make a mean Bone-in Meat Stew.” He said. Chloe and Sanji chuckles until Chloe sigh. “I never knew someone was so nice to me, I never had food this good before.” She remarked. “I'll cook all kind of stuff for you. Sky Fish Sauté, Potato Paille - - you name it.” Sanji said with a grin. Chloe smiles shyly, “I'd like that.” They smiles at each other. “Um, Chloe?” Sanji asked. “Yes, Sanji?” Chloe solicited timidly. “I, um, I was wondering...are you...” Sanji started to say. Just then; Zoro appeared, “Hey, what are you two doing?” He snarled. Chloe and Sanji jumped back from each other in surprise, Zoro noticed. “What? Am I interrupting something?” He asked with a smirk. “Yes.” Sanji scowled. “No—what is it?” Chloe asked. “There’s trouble, you gotta come see this.” Zoro remarked. Moments after; Chloe, Zoro and Sanji saw a mass of destruction of some sort of building. “Oi vey, what happened here?!” exclaimed Chloe. Zoro shook his head in disbelief, “Nothing... nothing at all.” He said. “What do you mean nothing at all?” demanded Sanji. “Hey, how can I explain it? There’s no tracks, no footprints, it’s like nobody was here!” protested Zoro. “Now that is weird.” Chloe remarked. “Tell me about it.” Zoro retorted. “Hello, looking for somebody?” A voice said. Chloe, Zoro and Sanji turned to see Megaera standing there. “No way, Megaera the Shrew! How the hell did you find us?” demanded Chloe. Megaera was about to speak, but stopped and looked at her sister and cousin, “How did we found them again?” She asked. “Um, the MPD? Remember?” Tisiphone asked. Megaera nodded, “Ah yes, back to business.” She recalled. And smirked devilishly. Chloe laughed nervously, “I don’t get it, why me? What did I ever do to you?” She asked. “Just think of yourself as a rash that won’t stop scratching. Like a stain won’t go away, a zombie that won’t stay dead.” Megaera said. “In other words in English--That’s how annoying you are.” Cleena clarified. “Of course, that’s what she meant.” Tisiphone said. Chloe knew her dreaded fate, “We’re so screwed.” She said. “Heyyyy, what’s all the habaloo?” A fake accented. Chloe, Zoro and Sanji were surprised to see a young lady in a red cashmere sweater and black poodle skirt. “Who the hell are you?” Megaera demanded. The girl with the fake accent spoke up, “Oh? You’re trespassing in greater territory. You see, look at this place--It's garish, ugly and smells like piss. Can't quite make out whether it's bums or rats, but it's piss. I'm a connoisseur when it comes to eau de toilette. As for the other parts, any innocent little child getting on one could be maimed or worse.” Megaera looked annoyed, Chloe cocked her head. “You don’t like it.” She stated the obvious. The girl was shocked, “Don't like it? I'm crazy for it!” She gushed. Chloe saw that it was Pansy and smiled. Zoro and Sanji noticed, Zoro leaned over and whispered: “I have a feeling you know this girl.” Chloe shrugged, “I guess.” She said. “You sure know how to ruin us!” Megaera growled. So the girl appeared with an enticing offer of playing a game of calamity poker and Megaera agreed. However, Chloe and the guys were watching the calamity from above as they noticed the girl was strategic and somehow won the game finally by checking and had right cards. Megaera is shocked, “What?” She gasped. Zoro and Sanji were shocked while Chloe smiles at this. “Ha ha! I win!” The girl cheered in her fake accent. “No way, you cheated.” Megaera accused. “Now, now, don’t be a sore loser. We had a good game.” The girl said. “You really are something.” Megaera remarked. “I hope you're wrong about that.” The girl said. “Come on, a little spit and polish, you'll have yourself one hell of a game to play.” Megaera replied. “Oh, you are so right, and thanks to your smooth sportsmanship and your silver tongue, I'm completely sold. Let's shake on it.” The girl said. Megaera nodded, taking her hand. “Sure, sure, it's my privilege.” She said. “Yes, yes, it is.” The girl said. Megaera sighed and leaves but she turns and attacks the girl, unveiling her! Chloe gasped, Megaera gritted her teeth: “Pansy Fury.” She said in between teeth. “PANSY, GET OUT OF THERE!!!” Chloe cried, shocking Zoro and Sanji. “I’m on it!” Pansy called. There were dark shapes that swiftly went by. “Who are they?” Zoro asked. “Spit and Polish, my friends. They persuaded your ‘friends’ to sign over the paperwork about an hour ago. The property's already mine. I can see that you're happy about that. Now, I must dash. There's equipment to rent, plus workers to hire, and of course, I need to secure my main attraction. Do feel free to stick around.” Pansy said. There was chaos as Chloe, Zoro and Sanji escaped! Once they were away; Chloe and the guys were catching their breaths. “So you do know her, her name is Pansy.” Zoro said. “Yeah, I do…In a way, it’s a long story. She used to be a troubled girl but she’s changed. You have to admit, she saved out asses!” Chloe pointed out. “OK, fine. We’ll leave it at that.” Zoro admitted. Later; Chloe takes a self blood test as she tries to find out what’s wrong with her and was shocked to figure it out: “I’m a harpy?!” Chloe gasped by the results. Afterwards; Briar was in the shower when she heard something or someone calling out. “Briar! I need you for a second!” It sounded like Luffy but couldn’t be sure. Briar came out of the shower, looking around: “Hey, who said they needed me?” She called. No one answered; she tried again but nothing when a shadow figure appeared behind her. Then, a hand went through Briar’s chest. Briar gasped and drops her arms and head, her towel fell off and dropped to the ground. Nico Robin was shocked when she used her Devil’s Fruit powers, “I’m so sorry!” She choked out but then she heard a ‘lub dub’ sound coming from Briar! She was naked and covered in blood, but her heart was out of her chest yet it was still beating! Briar raised her head up as her appearance changed, scaring everybody. “Hello.” Briar purred. Freaked out; Nico pulled her Hana Hana hands out of Briar’s chest and her heart was sink back in and she returned to normal. Overcome with shock; Nami fainted. “Nami, Nami!” Randi cried, coming to her aid. The others were concerned for their friend. When Nami awoke; she was overcome with shock as she looks at Briar, who assured the others that she was not a threat. Just then; there were papers flying in the wind! It was then Briar and her friends got bounties: Briar is referred to as ‘Wild Rose Briar’, Chloe is ‘Dark Witch Chloe’, Randi is ‘Enchantress Randi’, Maggie is ‘Blood Wolf Maggie’, Tilda is ‘Ice Queen Tilda’ and Marina is ‘Light-Bringer Marina’. Briar, Chloe and Randi were stunned while Maggie is excited but Tilda and Marina are intrigued. 

Just then; Briar, Luffy and the gang were encountered Trafalgar D. Law who has an ally with him by the name of Katrina! Briar is happy to see Katrina, much to the shock of Luffy and the gang. In the meantime, a young lady paced around while withering about. “Heavens to Betsy, the things I go through to maintain an operation for this world domination....Ahhh, perfect!” She chirped. Just then, a dark figure tumbled in and ruined things. “HEYYYYYY! You were supposed to be wreaking havoc on those disorderly marines!” She exclaimed while she pinches her head like she has a headache and winces. “Not leaking oil all over my headquarters!” The figure dips a feather in the black ink, and then draws on the floor, a picture of the Straw Hats. The girl bends to look at the picture. “What? Someone took care of the monsters? She jumps up and starts yelling, how dare they meddle with me?! The greatest of them all!” The girl exclaimed. She bends over again, and pulls the magnifying glass and analyze the picture on the floor. “Now, let’s have a look at these troublemakers, shall we? Dohhhhhhhh, what a scruffy lot! Obviously a gang of insanely challenged savages. He stands up and thinks. Well, those strangers should not be a problem, but the swordsman and the black boot guy could be trouble.” The girl said, she grinned and retorted: “This is gonna be fun.” While on the Hundred Sunny; Briar spread her arms out and said softly, “I’m flying.” She threw her head up and exclaimed, “I’m Queen of the World!” Luffy looks up, “Hey! You OK up there?” He asked. Briar looked down, “Sorry, the breeze feels wonderful! I feel like I’m flying!” She said. “You’ve been up there too long, come on down!” Luffy called. Briar shrugged, she leaped and landed softly. “Whew!” She sighed. Luffy grinned, “Man, you’re pretty cool!” He complimented. “How’s that? You’re fearless, I’m just…free spirited I guess.” Remarked Briar. “Maybe you’re like a pirate?” Luffy said with hopefulness in his voice. Chloe scoffs while near the edge of the boat as she looked out to the sea, “Dream on! Like we’re effing pirates. Look us, do we look like pirates?” She said. “Says the girl in the checkered skirt and bra.” Teased Briar. Chloe laughs a little, “Shut up, Devlin!” She said. “No, she’s right. What kind of pirate girl dresses like that anyway?” Zoro retorted. Chloe kicks him in the shin again with mighty force, “Shut up, Zoro. You got two bodacious babes here, don’t be a friggin’ hypocrite.” She snapped. “Hey, Nami and Robin aren’t the only girls here—we got you and your friends too.” Sanji pointed out. Chloe gives him a death stare, “You wanna be next, Black Boots?” She said coldly. Sanji looked scared for a moment, “No! Not at all!” He claimed. Chloe nodded, “That’s what I thought.” She said and continued to stare out, her thoughts in a jumble. Just then, she heard some sort of humming sound. She got irritated quickly. “Brook, quit singing!” Chloe growled. Brook looked confused, “I’m not singing, I swear!” He claimed. “Then, who is singing?” Chloe demanded. Briar said, “I’ll bet if we’re really quiet, we can all hear it.” And so, everyone was quiet when they heard this song played in a dark and robust harsh chest vocal tone that has tone with a very clear and watery operatic higher register, which belts beautifully: “My heart is a weapon of war....My voice is my weapon of choice. An eye for an eye, a heart for a heart--A soul for a soul…We fight for our dream, we fight to the death. We fight for control! There is no such thing as justice, all the best that we can hope for is revenge. A hostile takeover, an absolute rebellion to the end, this is our battle cry.” Briar and the others were surprised, when Brook and Marina went to investigate inside the ship. Brook let out his usual “Yo hoo hoo!” laugh as he held the MPD, “Your friend Marina let me record who was on our ship and this is what we found: “My heart is a weapon of war....My voice is my weapon of choice. An eye for an eye, a heart for a heart--A soul for a soul…We fight for our dream, we fight to the death. We fight for control! There is no such thing as justice, all the best that we can hope for is revenge. A hostile takeover, an absolute rebellion to the end, this is our battle cry.” Luffy and the others recognized that song, Briar can make some of the words: “There is no such thing as justice, all the best that we can hope for is revenge. A hostile takeover, an absolute rebellion to the end, this is our battle cry. I'm giving you a head start; you're going to need it…” Briar and the others don’t recognize that song anywhere else. That’s when, they turned and their attention as they could see another island! “LAND HO!” Luffy exclaimed. “WOW!” Briar cried with excitement. Chloe perked up with enthusiasm, “This is gonna be fun.” She said. “You can say that again!” Randi laughed. “Hermosa!” Marina purred. “Oh yeah!” Tilda agreed. “Oh hell yeah!” Maggie cheered. Once off the ship; Briar and the gang looked around as the place was sparkling and rather colorful. “What kind of place is this?” Luffy asked. “Beats me, it looks like a fairytale to me.” Briar said with a smile. The word ‘fairy tale’ made her grin. Just then, Maggie snaps her fingers constantly and twirls around while singing, “Just like fire, burning out the way. If I can light the world up for just one day. Watch this madness, colorful charade, no one can be just like me any way. Just like magic, I'll be flying free. I'mma disappear when they come for me, I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say? No one can be just like me any way!” Luffy couldn’t help but laugh, “She’s fun to be around!” He said. “Yeah, she is. I guess we’re all out of element right now.” Briar admitted. “Ooh, I see something shiny!” Chopper said, jumping up and down so the others got to see what it is. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing! “Is that gold?” Nami gasped. Luffy and Usopp looked amazed, “GOLD?!” They exclaimed, they are about to leap when a voice exclaimed: “HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!!” The Straw Hats halted and saw a young lady in a coat-dress all buttoned up with a black walking cane that had a jester on it. “What are you trying to do to my gold?” She asked in a fake accent. Luffy and Usopp glanced at each other, then back at her with nervous laughs: “Yours?” They asked. Usopp was on his knees begging, “PLEASE LET US HAVE SOME, I BET YOU HAVE MORE!!! IT’S GOLD FOR PETE SAKE!” He exclaimed in comical hysterics. The girl smirked as she glanced over at a woman in trench-coat and hat. “What do you think, my darling lady?” The trench coat lady thought for a moment, “Well, we could give them about….half? I mean, we have a trillion more of this don’t we?” She said. Usopp wrapped his arms around the woman, “Listen to the woman! She knows best, give us the gold please! Pretty please?” He rambled. “Hmm, well….As a sound mind and body, I guess but you need to do something for me….Decapitate many monsters called Infestations!” The fake accented girl replied. Luffy and Usopp twitched before bursting out: “YOU GOT MISS…” They stopped  for a moment with Usopp asking, “I’m sorry, what’s your name?” The girl gasped dramatically, “Ah, where are my manners? I am Mary Rose.” She introduced her. Briar and the others went with the Straw Hats to behead the Infestations—well, Zoro did the beheading and Maggie did as well. Once the Infestations were taken care; Mary Rose tastes the blood of the heads from the Infestations—much to the disgust of Briar, her friends and the Straw Hats—and Mary Rose gives them the gold. Luffy and Usopp danced with rejoice as the others were satisfied but Mary Rose stared at the Straw Hats as she approached Luffy with a solemn glance. “Why do you fight pirates?” Mary Rose asked. Luffy looked at her dead in the eyes, “They hurt my friends, get in my way of my dreams, pissed me off.” He answered. “Would you like to fight me?” Mary Rose inquired. “Uh no.” Luffy said in a weird-out voice. “Aw, why not?” Mary Rose said. “I don't want your crazy.” Luffy replied. “Says the guy who is made of rubber. Oh, I get it. 'Cause, like, this place has nice shops and restaurants, right? You've been through shit, right? Let me guess. Big brother got killed for you. I can recommend a good therapist.” Mary Rose chirped. Luffy growls and starts to swing at Mary Rose but resists as Mary Rose giggles. “Why?” Zoro snapped. “Because I'm bored! I need a victim, a mind to pry apart and spit in.” Mary Rose growled. “Just leave it, all right. She's a rabbit hole, don't fall in.” Briar said. Mary Rose takes noticed of Sanji and approached him. “And here's one now. Blonde haired, curled eyebrows, male, chef, smoker, ladies man, Black Boots and...Crappy family with deep-seated issues. Mommy and Daddy were mean as well as his siblings that bullied him so he has to hide this from his friends.” Mary Rose said. Sanji looks at her, he exhales smoke out from his cigarette and looked at her with a voice so shaken, “I am not... hiding anymore.” Mary Rose smirked, “Yeah that was gangster.” She admitted. Just then, there was angry voices were raising and Mary Rose turns to see Doflamingo in the flesh! He was upset that Mary Rose had used tortured memories of his past while Mary Rose mocked him, pissing him off. Doflamingo was so angry, he nearly tore the girl’s head off but instead it was her hat and everyone was stunned. The girl has curly light green hair between chin and shoulder-length with no bangs and almost white pale skin. Her face has a series of cracks that run down the right side of her face and a little on the left side. She has long eyelashes and wears black eyeshadow, red lipstick and the undamaged side of her face has pink blush. The girl wears a purple stitched corset that has an opening in the middle, laced together with crossed strings with puffy lavender tulle sleeves, a large red colored ribbon around her neck, a puffy purple tutu, red tights under torn black fishnets and purple high heels. She has purple finger-less gloves with purple ruffled arm guards, a tattered bandage tied on her right arm and a purple hairpiece made of tulle. Briar instantly recognized the girl, “Rose…mary?” She gasped. Luffy looked at her with an incredulously, “YOU KNOW HER?!” He exclaimed. Briar didn’t say anything, she was stunned. Rosemary’s frown suddenly curled into a maniacal smile, she begins to laugh ominously. She uncapped the jester from the cane and pressed a button with a trolley appeared as it had wheels and carried her away while Rosemary’s laugh ringed out still. Briar, Luffy and the others are left to fight Doflamingo and his men. While fighting her enemies, Briar could hear the song again but with different lyrics, “It's so easy to kill, this I learned by watching you. If I have to I will, it's not pretty but it's true, I am through lying still--Just a body to be beaten, screwed--And if I'm lucky, left for dead, so who's scary now? No mercy, it's a bit too late--The game is on, don't run, don't hide, don't wait. ‘Cause if we've got no honor, then we've got no shame. If it's in self defense, then we will take no blame. This is our battle cry….Even if you're only a boy, you can fight like a girl…….” However; she snaps out of it and learns she is on a plank as her friends are above while the Straw Hats are held hostage. Briar is forced to walk the plank, she does so calmly until a smile upturn her lips. With one last look, Briar leaped into the water but flies back up with her powers. She and her girls freed the Straw Hats as a brawl! In the meantime; Sylver’s voice resonances from the ocean, “Just like fire, burning out the way. If I can light the world up for just one day. Watch this madness, colorful charade, no one can be just like me any way. Just like magic, I'll be flying free. I'mma disappear when they come for me, I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say? No one can be just like me any way!” She stopped and wanders the shores of the ocean. Sylver sings melodiously and shrilly in a quiet voice, “My heart is a weapon of war....My voice is my weapon of choice. An eye for an eye, a heart for a heart--A soul for a soul…We fight for our dream, we fight to the death. We fight for control! There is no such thing as justice, all the best that we can hope for is revenge. A hostile takeover, an absolute rebellion to the end, this is our battle cry. I'm giving you a head start, you're going to need it….‘Cause I fight like a girl, I'll get my revenge on the world--Or at least 49% of the people in it. And if I end up with blood on my hands, well, I know that you'll understand. ‘Cause I fight like a girl, I'll get my revenge on the world--Or at least 49% of the people in it. And if I end up with blood on my hands, well, I know that you'll understand.” She stops and sighs, “I have to find the girl who sings that song.” For the time being; Chloe tells Zoro and Sanji the truth that she was an agent! But Zoro and Sanji were speechless by this. “You guys are agents?” Sanji asked. “Yes.” Chloe said. “Where’s the punch line?” Sanji inquired. “This isn’t a joke.” Chloe said, “I’m dead serious!” Zoro sighed, “That’s funny because you were injured because a harpy creature attacked you. You threw a plate at us after breakfast, kick me in the shin, disguised yourself and saved our asses, and now you’re saying you and your friends are FRIGGIN’ AGENTS OF A PLACE CALLED EVERMORE?!” He exclaimed. Chloe is offended, “…You don’t believe me.” She stated in a choked up voice. “’Course we do, but you’re up to something are you?” Sanji asked. “I don’t need this shit, screw this!” Chloe spat, she turned to walk away but felt her arm being pulled. “Chloe--!” Zoro protested. “No, no, I don’t need this!” Chloe said while choking up. “OK, I’m sorry—OK?” Zoro said. “Tch!” Chloe said. Zoro and Sanji glanced at one another in disbelief before looking back at Chloe, sighing. “We’re sorry…Guess we are a bunch of idiots.” Zoro said. “…Can you ever forgive us?” finished Ipsita. Chloe’s lips curved into a smile, she turned to them: “Hey, that’s what friends do!” She said. “Friends?” Zoro and Sanji asked, despite hating each other for this. “Friends.” Confirmed Chloe. “So, how do we get to DWC?” Zoro asked. “Ohh, I got friends to help us out.” Chloe assured them. “Our friends! What about them? They can’t be left behind!” Sanji protested. “Ha-ha, we would never leave ‘em behind—they’ll be coming with us. No one’s getting left behind, at all! That’s a promise.” Chloe verified with a smile. And so, The Straw Hats is recruited with these girls and enter a whole new world! 

After some work and some tests; Chloe presented her ride to her friends: “Welcome to the ride, Phenomenon Serendipity! You are the first riders to this lovely attraction!” announced Chloe. Chloe smiled proudly, while her gang stared in awe as they got on the ride. “Please keep your hands and feet in the ride at all times. Thank you and enjoy!” A woman on the speaker said. “This sounds exciting. Chloe, I’m really proud of you! I can’t wait to see what you did.” Levy said. “I got a bad feeling about this…” Gajeel moaned. “Aww thanks Gajeel, always nice to have that friendly support. So warm, so cozy, so—ack! Crushed.” Chloe groaned. The door repeatedly closed on the ride multiple times. “Why make a ride like this anyway?” demanded Zoro. “You know your problem, Mosshead? You got no vision!” Sanji claimed. “I would’ve if I wasn’t crushed into a friggin’ auto-pilot, painted door!” Zoro complained. “OK, OK, so it’s got some glitches—keep your shirt on!” Chloe complained. “Chloe, you’re sitting on the button.” Mikleo pointed out. Chloe blushed, “Whoops! Sorry ‘bout that!” She said. Chloe scooted from the button and the doors open with ease. “And away we go!” exclaimed Chloe. They enter the ride of colorful scenarios! “Aww! Very vibrant!” Jet and Droy complimented. “Pretty colors.” Noted C2. “Not bad, actually.” Admitted Zoro. “See? I told you so.” Chloe said. There were prettier scenarios that were ooed and ahhhed to look at. “Whoaaa, nice.” Sanji said. “Cool.” Barnaby remarked. The ride made a big turn and went down deep, causing Chloe and the others to shriek and found themselves in another section that looked interesting while foreign. “Interesting setting.” Gareki mentioned. “Don’t remember any of this here.” Yukine retorted. “Picky, picky, picky.” Scolded Chloe. Then, there was something that looked inappropriate that shocked them. “What was that?” Barnaby asked. Chloe blushed, “Don’t ask!” She said. Just then, there was an unfamiliar scenario. Renji made a face, “Uh, Clo? I don’t remember it like this.” He said. Chloe rolled her eyes, “Renji, it’s an artful re-creation! A piece de résistance!” She pointed out. “The art is a lie.” Zoro groaned. “Hey, there’s a fine line between divide and conquer.” Chloe replied defensively. There was static and a loud thump that made everyone jumped. “Oh yeah, ‘divide and conquer’ all right.” Zoro asides in a sarcastic tone. “Is it supposed to do that?” Sanji inquired. “Um, no?” Chloe squeaked. “Let’s exit stage left.” C2 said. More scenarios with lights and other scenarios of the story that amazed others. “All right, enough is enough. This is not part of it and don’t say ‘piece de résistance’.” Zoro said. “Um, poetic justice?” Chloe replied. And then they came across a section unfinished and not done. “Oops! I totally forgot about this part. Dammit!” grunted Chloe. “Oh you did?” Armin asked. “So Miss Entrepreneur, what do you call this?” Zoro snapped. “Uh…uh…Travels of Art!” Chloe quipped. “Maybe we should ‘travel away’.” Suggested Barnaby. “….Good idea!” Chloe divulged. Then, came to a creepy part that was amazing. “Sweet!” Jet exclaimed. “What now? Thriller Bark Junior?” Sanji jibed. “Why not? It’s kewl!” Chloe alleged. Below them begin to jutted from the ride and then they went down as they all screamed! Everyone groaned. “I have to admit, that was awesome.” Grunted Zoro. “And unexpected.” Chloe replied. “I think I’m gonna be sick!” Gajeel groaned. “Oh no!” Everyone cried. “Let’s get out of ‘ere!” Yukine said in a panicked voice. Afterwards, the ride turned to an illusion looked beautiful. “Ah!” gasped Mika. “OK, Chloe. I gotta say this is really, really--!” Zoro declared but was interrupted when the illusion broke and reality sunk in to the secret revealed of the magic being broken. “…Shitty.” Gajeel retorted. “Ohh, I never seen it like that before.” Barnaby teased. “Hmm, what’s the word I’m looking for? Phony? Fake? False? No, I got it—Disastrous!” Zoro browbeaten. Chloe kept her cool, she turned on the walkie talkie. “Ahem, we’re upstate in Section F6. What’s the hold up here?” She snarled. “Chloe? Did you do those translations yourself?” Levy asked. Moments later; there was a section of the ride with singing critters and rocking back and forth. “Oh no, No! Please get that rhythm out of my head!” Zoro exclaimed and covered his ears. “I think it’s catchy, I could hum to it all day.” Levy said with a smile. “Cool.” Yukine replied. But then the ride was jutting continuously into the section and not moving. “Oh no!” Renji groaned. “Ugh Chloe, do something!” Mikleo begged. “I’m doing it, I’m doing it! Atakk, press the emergency button!” Chloe commanded. “Which one?” Atakk asked. “Aggghhhhh, that E button!” exclaimed Chloe. “The B button?” hollered Atakk. “No ‘E’ no not ‘B’.” Chloe shouted. “Uh oh!” C2 grunted. “How do you stop this thing?” Renji exclaimed. Everyone crashed out of the ride, screaming as they flew and glided into the city. “Crap, crap, crap!” Gareki exclaimed. “We’re dead! So dead!” cried Yukio. “Dammit!” shouted Zoro. “Shit!” Sanji yelped. Infestations are on the ride, Chloe and the gang freak out. But the Infestations were gone! And they rushed into different places while screaming and yelping. “Help, we’re lost!” Chloe cried. “Mommyyyyyy!” Atakk exclaimed. The ride climbed up a building slowly and stopped on the top. “Oh man!” moaned Gajeel. Chloe peered over, “Hey!” She said cheerfully. “You can see the agency up here!” Then something appeared on the ride of signs. “Uh oh, what’s that?” Droy asked weakly. “I don’t know, I didn’t put them there!” Chloe said nervously. “I think we have to choose.” C2 suggested. “Um…Eyebrow Mustache, you pick!” Zoro exclaimed. “No, you!” Sanji argued. “I said you first!” debated Zoro. “Will someone please pick already?!” Chloe cried in an annoyed voice. Atakk picked one and the ride turned down slowly. “Oh crap!” Gareki yelled. “Aaaaaaahhhhhh!” Everyone cried out. “Mommy!” Yukine yelped. “Egad!” Armin gasped. Then there was other Normins here. “What are they doing here?” Zoro asked. “Won’t they drown?” Sanji asked. “They’re swimming!” Chloe mocked, “It’s a heat wave.” There was a few screaming and finally the ride got back to the beginning. “So glad you guys enjoyed it, come back soon!” cheered Chloe. “What do you mean ‘come back soon’?! That was the worst ride I’ve been on!” Zoro claimed. “So it’s got a lot of flaws, it’s just need some spit and polish—that’s all!” Chloe asserted. “Woo! Let’s do that again!” Atakk cheered, “Oh but wait, what’s that?” Mikleo took a look at what he was looking at. “Pictures, there’s pictures.” Mikleo said. “All right, take a look!” Chloe said. Later; it was then Evermore and their allies learns more about the Abominations: The Abominations themselves show considerable variation, as they are still self-aware individuals, albeit turned into homicidal maniacs. The actual level of insanity different Abominations demonstrate ranges across a wide spectrum as well. Many are practically feral savages with absolutely no regard for their own self-preservation, to the point that they will gleefully mutilate themselves for the sheer thrill of it, including amputating their own limbs as these Abominations don't tend to survive very long. Most are capable of basic albeit deranged speech, and wield whatever clubs, knives, or sharp objects are at hand to attack anything around them. The more insane Abominations will even attack each other, though they apparently prefer the other Abominations. Some characters speculate that this preference is due to their need for sadistic gratification: given that the Abominations are so insane that they will mutilate themselves voluntarily, it isn't as fun to torture fellow Abominations as it is to torture uninfected, frightened victims. The Abominations enjoy artfully mutilating the bodies of their victims, amputating limbs or worse. The Abominations can survive on any food but frequently rely on basic cannibalism – not because they have a zombie-like need for human flesh, they're just so brutal and cruel that they get warped enjoyment out of it. Other Abominations increasingly cannibalize the non-infected or each other to survive. The Abominations are consumed by a pervasive blood lust and constantly try to plunder anyone or anything they can chase down, the Abomination would plunder and sodomize entire families and neighborhoods, rapidly expanding the growing hordes of Abominations. Many of these plundering crimes aren't consciously intended to infect other people, it simply occurs as a byproduct of their insatiable need for violence. Female crossed will also try to violently plunder and sodomize people with whatever tools or weapons are at hand. On rare occasion, pregnant women who have been infected and turned survive long enough to give birth, but their babies are born infected as well - apparently the placental barrier provides no protection against the infection. Abomination women who have given birth are, however, gleefully willing to needlessly murder their own newborn babies. The mental effects of the Abomination are apparently not just a zombie-like drive for basic desires like violence and venereal gratification. It seems to give the Abominations a driving need to perform actions which they perceive as morally bad, somehow triggering the parts of their brains which control their darkest, subconsciously pent-up inhibitions. The Abominations do not simply plunder and kill their victims, they torture and mutilate them to cause the maximum amount of pain and suffering. Another symptom of this is that they tend to attack and deface things and places which are considered particularly sacrosanct, defacing government buildings with corpses, or desecrating religious buildings. The Abominations manage to capture a non-infected human on a scouting expedition from a survivor enclave will frequently proceed to torture and mutilate their captive within sight of the survivors' fortress, to inflict psychological torment on the unreachable people inside. At the other extreme, however, some Abominations have been shown to be quite capable of complex pre-meditated actions. Not consumed by unthinking blood lust to the extent that many of the other infected are, they have enough mental where-withal to plan ambushes and traps, and organize gangs of Abominations to assault survivor enclaves. The more mindless rage-consumed Abominations will still know how to use firearms if they find them but usually won't think rationally enough to plan out where to acquire more firearms. The more rational and calculating Abominations, in contrast, will actively seek out armories to acquire new firearms. Some of these more rational Abominations will self-consciously coat their weapons in their own bodily fluids, actively trying to turn non-infected survivors into more Abominations. The presentation continues to show more of the crimes the Abominations had committed that shocked Briar and her friends: A girl hung but still alive in the toilets. Her friend try to free her however the Abominations surround the girls and force her to stick a pair of sewing scissors in her mouth, far enough that the blades tap against her molars. Then they cut out her tongue. There was one Abomination seems to idolize the body, going so far as to dig through it and apparently pleasure oneself over it while taking pictures. Later, he laughs about how shameful the body looks in death. There was a five year-old boy with trickles of blood oozing from his mouth. He was repeated stabbed to the abdomen, followed by forced tongue amputation by the Abominations. And buried alive. The girl had her eyes stabbed with a pair of scissors by a Abomination. Four people have been kidnapped by the Abominations. They blindfold them and lines them up on the floor. One of the victims can't see the two before she is being killed of disembowelment and the top half of her head being cut off, respectively. An Abomination child has another innocent child by the hair, a pair of scissors in her hand, covered in blood with an insane expression on her face. The Abomination children are stabbing their teacher to death while he's on his knees and screaming in agony. One victim suffocated by a malicious Abomination boy, another victim is forced to cut out his own tongue by a Abomination teenage, buried alive, cut in half, have her ribs broken and her lungs pierced with them, a boy had his eyes torn out, let his best friend drown, accidentally smash her to pieces with the pool drain, get stabbed with scissors, mauled to death, and best of all trapped in a time warp that forces them to relive the nightmare! The Abomination stabs a boy and kicks him into a pit just for fun. The Abomination teen boy catches a female teenage, ties her hands to a table, and begins to cut at her throat. He does this as he starts to climb on top of her and he unbuttons his shirt. When the girl is forced into a skit by the Abominations, she is then stabbed in her hands by one of the Abominations that had a pair of scissors and suddenly lifted off the air and her whole body is bent at an impossible angle, and her spine letting out a very audible crack. The blades of scissors are now stabbing her friend, while she is losing her head in a brutal fashion. The boy's face is actually a gaping bloody hole as if his face was cleanly cut off, his flesh is entirely decomposed. And there's still blood in his hair from the blow that killed him. His girlfriend was fatally struck in the head by a hulking creature of an Abomination, she bleeds so profusely from between her legs that her organs fall out after. The father is found crucified and impaled through the mouth in a large altar-like room, his left eye bloodshot and with a white carving on his iris. His daughter rushes out of the room and eventually the daughter sneaks in the kitchen only to see a Abomination sharpening a knife frantically without saying a word. All the daughter can do is run out of the house in fear. But sadly as the daughter closed the door, the Abomination breaks through the door and pierces the poor girl in the stomach, her mouth and her head gets deformed while the other Abomination gleefully kills her by stabbing her in the neck. But that’s not all, there were more horrors. After seeing the gruesome things of the Abominations; this left almost everyone depressed and scared however those who weren’t effected by what they have seen such as Alisha, Erza, Jura, Rukia, Captain Hitsugaya, Kaede and others managed to help their friends snap out of their depression ambiance. In the meantime; Briar, Chloe and Sylver head over to the Lost Girls Sisterhood as an invitation. While there, they were surprise to see so many girls there. 

There were other girls there: Pele Burns, Kiyohime Hale, Medea Wilde, Uma Sparks, Dido ‘Didi’ Havok, Kali Squall, Circe Tempest, Persephone & Artemis Gale, Ishtar Gore and Gilitine Blitz. These girls were either dark haired, had green or brown eyes, an olive complexion and angelic physical appearance. They would have golden hair, blue eyes and fair skin. Pele has a very pale complexion with long, straight, dark brown hair, unique chocolate brown eyes and a heart-shaped face with a wide forehead. Her eyes are large and widely spaced. Her nose is thin and her cheekbones are prominent. Her lips are a bit too full for her slim jaw-line. But Uma is a petite who has large eyes and long, delicate eyebrows. Her hair is cropped short, spiky, and inky black. Just then, the room got silent as a beautiful and seductive young woman entered the room: It was Juno Storm--she had an oval face with fine bone structure, a wealth of brown curly hair, and almond-shaped, deep brown eyes with thick dark lashes. Her irises seemed to be a shade darker and Juno seemed to squint slightly. Juno was also incredibly theatrical in her movement, exaggerating almost everything as though she had rehearsed any given situation over and over again. Her eyebrows are darker than her hair and are straighter than they are arched. She seemed like she inherited god-like beauty. Juno paced and looked at the girls: “You, right on time…Not bad, but do better--I look forward to your next effort….Hey! Heads up. Shoulders back. Stomachs in. Stand up straight…OK, just making sure.” Juno said. Briar, Chloe and Sylver begin to hide in the broom closet that was huge and waited but they weren’t alone in the closet as they felt somebody in there. “Hey!” The girl protested. Briar was surprised, “Sorry.” She said. But luckily, the girl didn’t seem too upset. “That's okay. It's much better than being out there.” She said. “Is that the guard of the sisterhood or something?” Chloe asked. “Uh-uh. That's the headmistress of the sisterhood, Juno Storm.” The girl replied. Sylver gasped in amazement, “You've got to be kidding!” She managed to say. Just then, another girl peeked in and startled the girls. “You ladies better skedaddle. I'm not kidding, Juno doesn’t allow girls to hide in her or she’ll break it apart.” She said. So, Briar and her friends—along with the girl—exited from the closet. “I'm Briar.” Briar introduced herself. “Chloe.” Said Chloe. Sylver smiled nervously, “My name is Sylver.” She piped up. “I'm Swan.” The girl said, she pointed to the girl and continued, “And this is Donna.” Donna waved. “Is she always like this?” Sylver asked. “No. It's mostly for scare of the good kind. What she does is worse. Like yesterday, Juno makes a weekly visit to every room, to make sure the sisters was everything, when all of a sudden there was an intruder who tried to attack.” Swan said. “And she caught him?” Briar asked. “Of course!” Donna said in a matter of fact voice. “Was the guy okay?” Sylver asked. “After being thrown out the window? Of course he wasn't okay. He lived, if that's what you mean. He just never showed his face again.” Swan remarked. “Juno’s weapons are scalpel, razor blades and leeches…Leeches are her specialty.” Donna chatted. Briar shuddered as well as Sylver. “So she does this all the time?” Chloe queried. “Better than her Fury self.” Swan retorted. “She's a Fury?” Briar asked in shocked. “Yeah, her Fury form. It's the most scariest, they say she tore her vein out and that’s how she becomes a Fury on the spot.” Swan gossiped. “Seriously?” Briar said, trying to take it all in that she heard. “I've seen it twice.” Swan said. Donna waved a hand, shushing the girls, “Here she comes.” Juno noticed Briar and the others, looking them over and smiled. “I see we have fresh faces, visitors of Evermore.” Juno remarked. Briar waved, “Hi.” She said with a smile. “’Sup.” Chloe greeted. Juno exclaimed, “SILENCE!!!!” This scared Briar and her friends as Juno looked at Briar dead in the face, “Did I permit you to speak? No, no one’s allowed to speak when I’m talking.” She retorted. “Sorry.” Briar and Chloe said in unison. “Thank you.” Juno said, patting Briar’s shoulder. She turned to her girls lined up like soldiers and hollered in a loud voice, “Listen up! Welcome to the Lost Girls Sisterhood. My name is Juno Storm, the founder and leader of the sisterhood. I am not your mother, not your caretaker but I am your teacher, your friend, your sister. You will formally address me as ‘Mistress’, clear on that?” The girls answered in unison like soldiers, “Yes Mistress!” This shocked Briar and the gang. Juno nodded, “Good, OK, we need to take of something…” She looked at her clipboard and continues: “We need to be reminded on what we do here in the sisterhood! We go after the corrupted people that had wronged many innocent lives; Abusive parents, neglectful parents, dysfunctional families that mistreat their loved ones. Those who abused authority to get what they want, predator teachers that paws children and teenagers, even those that are not teachers that are dangerous with lustful eyes while taking advantage of them too! Domestic violence—husbands abusing their wives and wives abusing their husbands. Let’s be clear, domestic violence does not discriminate gender—at all! Understood?” The sisterhood replies, “Yes Mistress!” Juno paced around while talking loudly, “We punished criminal children, sociopaths that don’t show any remorse, people who abuse the elderly, racists, sexists, bullies and people that discriminate. They need to be punished, but if they do show remorse—spare them mercy, got it?” The sisterhood girls cried out in response: “Yes Mistress!” Juno sustained to speak, “To those nurses and doctors that did wrong to patients, even in mental asylums that done this many times, to those that didn’t care in the world and are greedy. Those wealthy bastards who put down on other people as commoners and those so called commoners, the rich referred them as, needed to be more respected. Got that? All those corrupted like this, must be punished! WE ARE FURIES, HAPRIES AND BANSHEES!!!” The girls of the sisterhood cheered, Briar was fairly impressed with the presentation Juno display. It was then Juno turned to Briar and the girls while reciting, “Step right up, we bring to you the finest entertainment. And I am pleased to be your humble servant. Accept our hospitality, indulge in abnormality--I do this as a gift, not for employment. Come see our girls, crazy girls! If you're willing to be thrilled, this is a hell of a ride! Those girls, crazy girls. They're hot, they're nuts, they're determined! To see these lovely freaks of nature for a limited time! Come see the girls of the Lost Girls Sisterhood! Some are born mad, some achieve madness. Some have madness thrust upon them. This is the real thing my friends, guaranteed 100 percent, authentic, mentally-ill! Accept no imitations! Why? We’re homicidal! One day we’ll find a filthy metal spike, and drive it right in the middle of the Abominations' foreheads for she and her friends--this is very good and the game is over – this was their revolution! We’ve got the tools, we’ve got the time to punish a most worthy crime against humanity, we’ve been trained by the very best. We must eradicate the Abominations as revenge is a dish that is best served now! And I believe I’m friggin' gorgeous!” She screeched and the girls cheered. Juno took a breath and looked while ranting, “The Lost Girls Sisterhood are criticize and judged for who we are…mentally over-stimulating, too much serious conversating, organized religion-hating, sinful un-wed copulating, marriage without pro-creating, male-mind manipulating, chronically hallucinating, certainly there's no debating, some we just find fascinating, women's rights facilitating, independent thought creating! But it’s not like that as we are something more…Our hearts is a weapon of war, our voices is a weapon of choice. An eye for an eye, a heart for a heart--A soul for a soul. When we fight--we fight for our dream, we fight to the death. We fight for control! Those poor people are under attack and victims to the Abominations, what is the body count? I've lost track. If nobody's mentioned how this will end against the Abominations, then I will be the first. There are more of us than there are of you, so show me your worst!” The girls cried out in agreement like men do in the war. Juno held up a finger and said, “Let me say something, there is no such thing as justice, all the best that we can hope for is revenge. A hostile takeover, an absolute rebellion to the end, this is our battle cry. I'm giving you a head start, you're going to need it. Even if you're only a boy, you can fight like a girl! It's so easy to kill, this I learned by watching the Abominations. If I have to I will, it's not pretty but it's true, I am through lying still, to be beaten, screwed--And if I'm lucky, left for dead, so who's scary now? The Abominations will be shown no mercy, it's a bit too late--The game is on, so don't run, don't hide, don't wait. If we've got no honor, then we've got no shame. If it's in self defense, then we will take no blame.” She then stood there and then she stamped her foot as voices were raised, surprising Evermore. “What is it time for?” hollered Juno. “It’s time for war!” The sisterhood replied loudly. “What is it time for?” Juno exclaimed. “It’s time for blood!” The girls bellowed vocally. “What is it time for?” Juno shrieked. “It’s time for TEA!” The sisterhood shouted. “Why is that?” Juno demanded. “Somewhere it’s always time for tea!” The sisterhood shouted. “What else?” cried Juno. “The Mad Tea Party Massacre will end the Abominations!” The sisterhood shouted. “What are we?” Juno asked loudly. “We’re homicidal!” The sisterhood replied in unison of shouts. “What are we gonna do?” Juno screamed. “Find a filthy metal spike, and drive it right in the middle of the Abominations' foreheads!  The sisterhood screeched “How come?” demanded Juno. “This is our revolution!” protested the sisterhood with pride in their yells. “How?!” yelled Clover. “We’ve got the tools, we’ve got the time to punish a most worthy crime against humanity, we’ve been trained by the very best. We must eradicate the Abominations as revenge is a dish that is best served now!” The sisterhood cried. “What are we?” Juno demanded. “Girls!” The sisterhood hollered. “Why?” Juno cried. “’Cause we fight like girls!” The sisterhood replied loudly. Juno nodded, “Yes, we fight like girls. I fight like a girl! I'll get my revenge on the world--Or at least 49% of the Abominations in it. And if I end up with blood on my hands, well, I know…” She said. Juno stops for a moment and turns to Briar and the others as she said, “….That you'll understand.” Briar was unnerved, but nodded and Juno grinned at her. Juno then stood there with a solemn expression and it was quiet for a moment. “One time--What is it time for?” hollered Juno. “It’s time for war!” The sisterhood replied loudly. “What is it time for?” Juno exclaimed. “It’s time for blood!” The girls bellowed vocally. “What is it time for?” Juno shrieked. “It’s time for TEA!” The sisterhood shouted. “Why is that?” Juno demanded. “Somewhere it’s always time for tea!” The sisterhood shouted. “What else?” cried Juno. “The Mad Tea Party Massacre will end the Abominations!” The sisterhood shouted. “What are we?” Juno asked loudly. “We’re homicidal!” The sisterhood replied in unison of shouts. “What are we gonna do?” Juno screamed. “Find a filthy metal spike, and drive it right in the middle of the Hellions' foreheads!  The sisterhood screeched “How come?” demanded Juno. “This is our revolution!” protested the sisterhood with pride in their yells. “How?!” yelled Juno. “We’ve got the tools, we’ve got the time to punish a most worthy crime against humanity, we’ve been trained by the very best. We must eradicate the Abominations as revenge is a dish that is best served now!” The sisterhood cried. “What are we?” Juno demanded. “Girls!” The sisterhood hollered. “Why?” Juno cried. “’Cause we fight like girls!” The sisterhood replied loudly. “What do we have to do?” Juno queried. “Eradicate the enemy!” The sisterhood replied in loud voices. “Who’s the enemy?!” Juno asked at the top of her voice. “The Abominations!” The sisterhood replied loudly as they all chanted together as one like an angelic choir until Sylver repeated along with them quietly, “Eradicate the enemy! Eradicate the enemy! Eradicate the enemy! Eradicate the enemy! Eradicate! Eradicate! Eradicate! Eradicate! Eradicate!”


After the ceremony and the girls were dismissed; Donna and Swan told Briar, Chloe and Sylver about how Juno was never violent and used to be an innocent girl: There were times when Juno felt good to be by herself, she enjoys her own company. Juno can think up her own ideas and play exactly when she wants. With no around; Juno can have all the fun to herself but one day, it all changed! “Hey June, why don’t you ask that girl over there to play with us?” suggested her cousin Iris. Juno was apprehensive, “I don’t know, I’m scared to ask…What if she says no?” She said. Her mother shrugged, “At least try. All you have to ask, who knows, maybe he’ll say yes.” She replied gently and encouragement. Juno took a deep breath and walked over to the girl. The girl looked up as Juno felt her heart leap out of her chest. “Um, do you—want to play—with me?” She asked. “OK.” The girl said. The next day, the same girl ran into Juno on the school bus. Pele sat next to Juno, “Hi my name is Pele. What’s yours?” Juno smiled back, “Juno.” She replied. Juno and Pele played with each other in games like tag. Soon; Juno has an odd friendship with Kiyohime, despite them getting on each other’s nerves and there’s some friendly competition. It was a little strange! However; Juno got along with other girls: Medea Wilde, Uma Sparks, Dido ‘Didi’ Havok, Kali Squall, Circe Tempest, Persephone & Artemis Gale, Ishtar Gore and Gilitine Blitz. But Juno and Pele were much closer--These girls are best friends, they are in the same classes, they wear the same colored shoes, they have a favorite food together, they play soccer together but what’s so special about the girls’ friendships is how much they care about each other. In the next day; Uma approached Juno, who wore a crown and holding a princess dress. “Wanna play dress up?” Juno asked. “Sure.” Uma said with a smile. When Juno is bullied by other kids; Didi shields the sobbing Juno from the bully and firmly said, “Stop it! Leave her alone!” Another time, Kali and Juno make a decision on who goes first by flipping a coin. One incident, Spencer shared an even half with Juno, “Half for you, half for me.” She said. “Thanks.” Answered Juno. Then, there are secrets kept: “Don’t say anything, this is our secret.” Circe warned. “I promise.” Juno said. And the girls are loyal to Juno no matter what. “Juno is a crybaby.” Ishtar whispered. Gilitine shrugged, “It’s not her fault, she’s sensitive. You don’t have to be mean about it.” She retorted. There are some bad days for her, Juno was sad when Artemis came up to her holding a bag of candy, “Do want some of my candy?” She offered. And there are solutions for hard things for Juno that her friends help out with. “This math is hard, I don’t get it.” Juno complained. “Try it this way.” Persephone suggested. Juno offered to play a new game and goes to Tigris, who agrees. “OK, what do you want to play?” asked Medea, glancing at Juno. When the kid games are played; Pele applauded, “Good job, Juno. You win!” She praised. Juno grinned, “Good game.” She replied. As a hint of sympathy; Juno makes a special present for Uma. But Juno’s relationship with Kiyohime was always so complicated and Juno was trying to get her approval! Like, Juno tried to join her club with ideas. But Kiyohime refused her with harsh rejections: “I don’t need your ideas!” Kiyohime said harshly. Juno was offended, feeling left out. She shouted angrily, “You better let me help you or else!” Knowing that wouldn’t do any good; Juno sat alone, she feels like she’s not good enough and feels useless. But she decides to play with others Juno approached Persephone and Artemis as well as her friends, “Want to play?” She asked. They would nod in approval. Sometimes, Juno would be by herself on the jump-rope. It wasn’t until she decides to give Kiyohime’s ideas and approached her. “Want to try a more different approach?” suggested Juno. She explains the idea and then, Kiyohime smiled as she finally said, “Sounds awesome, Juno!” Juno felt her spirits were raised in high hopes. It wasn’t until one day that Juno wasn’t too thrilled with the idea of getting involved with other new people she doesn’t know. “Come now, Juno. You’re just shy sweetie.” Her mother said brightly. But Juno stubbornly refused, “Don’t ask me to go in there, you can’t make me!” She replied. However, Juno was persuaded to go in as a voice calls out in a jolly voice, “Hello!” Juno looked in as one part wants to enter into the room and the other part didn’t want her to. Juno was a bad behaved girl and has a lot of incidents with the other girls: Juno was playing a board game with Uma as she cheated in the game. “Hey, no fair! You’re cheating!” Uma called out to her. But Juno couldn’t care less about the rules of the game. On the next day; Uma shoves Didi away, “Stupid head!” Kali came to her friend’s defense, “Don’t call me or my friend that.” She protested. Juno just laughed at her. Then, the third day had Juno glared at the boys and remarked, “You can’t play, it’s only for girls!” Circe were very surprised as well as the other boys that Juno was acting like a Queen Bee! The fourth day, Juno taunted Medea, “Nya, nya, nya!” Medea was hurt by her teasing. The fifth day; Juno shows her fists towards Ishtar who was scared by her aggressive behavior. The sixth day, Juno seized the toy from Gilitine, who struggles to get it back. “Give it to me!” Juno screamed. “No, you already have one!” Gilitine protested. The eighth day, Juno glared at Persephone, she pointed at her and exclaims, “It’s your fault, you made me trip!” Persephone was taken aback, “No I didn’t!” She said. The ninth day; Juno seized Pele’s arm, Pele and Kiyohime turned to her in shock. Pele tugged at Juno, “Let go of me!” She objected. However, Juno pulled on her arm, “You can’t play with her, you’re my best friend—MY BEST FRIEND!!!” She claimed wildly. The tenth day; Juno scowled at Artemis and said, “This game is so dumb, I quit.” She got up and stomped away. The eleventh Juno growled at Ishtar, who got annoyed with her and turned to her saying, “Quit it!” Nevertheless; Juno ignored her protests and irritating her soon. On the twelfth day: Juno pointed to Pele, “You be the sister.” She points to Uma, “You be the baby.” And then points to herself, “And I’ll be the mom.” Pele was irked, “Oh c’mon Juno! You always get to be the Mom, I want to decide this time!” complained Pele. “Yeah June, don’t be so boss.” Uma echoed. On the thirteenth day: Juno got into Giltine’s face, “Get out of the way or else!” She threatened. Gilitine gulped in fear. Persephone was annoyed, “What a pest.” She muttered. “She’s only going to make enemies that way.” Artemis commented quietly. The fourteenth day: Juno arrived at school in a cranky mood where she caused damage to property and violently lashes at her classmates with verbal insults as well as physical tantrums. But Juno is sent to the nurse’s office to calm down and is visited by her favorite teacher, Juno’s mother, Juno’s cousin and her friends who all help her feel better. In the present; Juno visits her uncle and aunt as she is greeted by her uncle. Juno walked up the stairs and stopped where she heard a crying sound. Juno closed her eyes and looked to see her aunt in Iris’s room and crying. Her aunt’s face crumpled, her eyes looked red and puffy while she still wept. Juno walked over and stood in the doorway as her aunt managed to ease on the crying and calm down while being brave in front of her niece. Her aunt dumped out a bag of jewelry and rummaged through it to pull out a pendant: A rose gold-plated over-sized key pendant with a long chain.  “She would have wanted you to have this, honey. Iris would have wanted you to have this.” Her aunt said, putting the necklace around Juno’s neck. Juno felt a lump in her throat, tears rolling down and eyes were red. “I shouldn't have suggested we'd go with her friends to that place.” Juno choked out. “Oh, honey, it's not your fault, it's not your fault.” Her aunt reassured her. But Juno broke down crying, “I feel so bad all the time.” And she hugged her aunt. In the meantime; Briar and Chloe were in some a large storage shed that had a detached garage, a huge workshop, equipment and general storage. “Hey Clo, are you seeing somebody?” Briar remarked. Chloe looked at her in shock, “What?” She gasped. “Who is it? Is it someone I know? Tell me, you little saint!” Briar teased. “Nobody, for God’s sake! C’mon Brie, cut me some slack!” Chloe replied. “Nobody?! Woman, this is a dangerous environment! There’s Zoro & Sanji over there, and you don’t mind?” Briar joked. “Shut up, Brie! The window is open.” Protested Chloe comically. “Nobody’s peeking in.” assured Briar. “Yeah, but I see THOSE TWO looking this way so I’m going to close the window!” Chloe protested. She marched over to the window and saw Zoro & Sanji were looking at her from different directions. They looked at her funny like she was deranged. Embarrassed; Chloe close the window and shut the curtains swiftly. She puts her back to the window and slides down while sighing. “So much tension huh?” Briar ragged. Chloe covered her ears, “La-la-la-la-la! I can’t hear you! La-la-la-la-la!” She sang out. “Tension, tension! You’re obsessed!” Briar exclaimed. Chloe took a pillow and hits Briar with it. “Shut up!” She exclaimed. “A sucker, aren’t ya?” Briar tantalized. “That’s it!” Chloe said, she went and chases her. There was a buzz and someone calling Chloe’s name. It was Zoro’s voice! Yelping; Chloe scrambled to the door and presses the button. “Y—yes?” She stammered. “You OK in there?” Zoro asked. “P—per—perfectly fi—fi—fi—fine. Why do you ask?” Chloe inquired. “Uh, I don’t know, you sound like you’re yelling! What’s going on?” Zoro asked. “N—nothing, nothing at all! We’re fine, really!” Chloe claimed. “Whatever, keep it down OK?” Zoro snapped. Sighing; Chloe gives a comical glare at Chloe, who was trying not to smile while trying to seem innocent. “I hate you.” Chloe said. “Love you too.” Briar ribbed. “Uggghhhh!” groaned Chloe.
