Glory Days Psycho

This is the perspective of the mysterious Saeko on how she became crazy, she had been watching Katherine Donovan the entire damn time! Please enjoy. --KatDon 

Saeko shows her eccentric self as a child. Throughout her life; Saeko was troubled with emotional outbursts, insanity boiled over and she babbled of nonsense—the things that don’t exist. Saeko would be comically paranoid, she was cute with her fits of humorous insanity. “I’m not crazy!” She exclaimed before giggling to herself. She also gets pushy, persistent and overly unreasonable. Saeko was living in the state of her fantasy world and claims that she is being watched by made up characters! But she was always seen as weird to others. Saeko became crazy, she had been watching Katherine Donovan the entire damn time! It all started with Scarborough Fair. Scarborough Fair is a television channel that its programming was targeted at children, featuring a mix of live-action and animated series. The beloved characters are Sage the Clown: He wore a colorful pullover top with pom-pom buttons, baggy striped pants, a loose fitting collar, Blue and yellow clown shoes. Then, there was Presley who wore a gold crown with jewels, a purple velvet robe, chainmail cowl, gray tunic and black trousers, with metal boots. Then, there was the beloved sweetheart name Twin Tail Rosemary. She wore a blue and white plaid woven jacket, matching skirt, ruffled socks and black Mary Jane shoes. Then, a snowman name Thyme. He had the usual things that all snowmen had which were button eyes, carrot noses, dotted mouth, top hat and a scarf. And lastly; there was none other than Madame Fortuna herself! She wore a lilac colored peasant top with short pouffy sleeves, floor length deep purple skirt, light purple turban that has a purple jewel and lavender feather. Her hair is wavy and blonde, her eyes flashes and her mouth would move up and down, her head would move around, nod forward and shake head. Her eyes would move around and would make a weird breathing sound when she stopped talking and her mouth is left open. Creepy, very creepy but nobody minded it. Much. Sage is always summoned by these exact words: “Sage? Oh Sage, will you do the Fandango?” There will be thunderbolts and lightning, all would seem very frightening but Sage appears happily to greet the kids. Everyone adored the characters of Madame Fortuna, Sage the Clown, King Presley, Twin Tail Rosemary and Thyme the Snowman! There was even an amusement park known as Scarborough Fair and the rides are all themed like the fortune teller herself as well as her friends. The one ride everyone loves is Madame Fortuna’s Fortune Wanderlust: Guests board a magic train and go down the tunnel, where pieces of furniture, picture frames, vases and other objects swirl around inside. Then, the door swings open for the guests to pass through, entering the world of Madame Fortuna, seeing characters together. Swerving quickly to the left, guests encounter a grove of Rosemary doing a performance of a song while Thyme watches with a lovestruck grin on his face. The guests then enter the woods, where they see Sage & King Presley playing instruments. The vehicles then leave the ride building's second floor and descend down a winding path on a giant vine past the ride's queue area before heading to the final scene of Madame Luck and her friends performing together. And then, there is the Fortune Maze attraction: The hedge maze’s goal of the maze is to reach the castle, where one can obtain an aerial view the section of the park. One can exit the maze prior to entering the second area, and the maze's route is similar in shape to the body of the Thyme, with a semi-floral recreation of the character's face adjacent to the attraction. The first and easiest part of the Labyrinth starts with guests entering the maze and arriving in a wood featuring strange animals, doors of various sizes and several signs with conflicting directions. Guests then walk under fountains which spray streams of water over the guest's heads. As guests wander through it, the cast would pop out of nowhere waving at them. Guests reach it in the end, and can therefore go on top of it, where they are given a sight of the park down below. A slide used to be featured on the side of the Castle, for children to go down without the stairs, but it was removed due to safety reasons during the park's opening year. In the experience, guests will choose their own path as they wind through the delightfully whimsical world of Fortune Land on their way to a tea party. Along the way, they may encounter Madame Fortuna and friends. In a maze of sculpted hedges, stone garden walls, giant flowers, and whimsical sculptures, there’s fun at every turn in this delightful family adventure. Meander down these peculiar little paths to discover a land full of wonder, mystery and danger of whimsical armored creatures steer towards a secretive underground cave. Whistling teapots, spinning cakes and wacky stacked cups set the scene, with interactive elements that encourage Guests to play along. Saeko loved that series. These girls were Fortuna fanatics, they grew up watching the show and it was the only thing they’ve ever watched. Most kids would switch the television to shows that their parents would prohibit them from, when no one is at home. But these six girls were perfectly happy with the show so much. What these girls have in common is that they were an only child so the TV becomes their best friend. They would collect figurines, VHS, and other great toys. One day; Saeko was around ten or eleven years old, she was in the car with her father as she was bouncing up and down in her seat. She was ranting on how exciting it would be to see the characters from Scarborough Fair. Instead of feigning interest like most parents would; her father just laughed. It wasn’t a laugh that parents would use to think their kid was being cute but it was a heartless guffaw. It was then these were the words that Saeko would never forget: “Scarborough Fair is a fake.” He told his daughter cruelly that it was going to be an adult show and people made that show so kids would engorge in it. But actually, it’s all a ruse because it’s not all kids stuff, when the day will finally come; they’ll drop the fans like flies when it’s all exposed. Saeko is shocked; she was having a hard time processing what she just heard. Then, her father shout at her: “YOU TELL ANYONE ELSE ABOUT THIS AND YOU’LL NEVER GET A CHANCE TO GO THERE AGAIN!!!” This scared Saeko and she felt her childhood love for it was broken. One day, Saeko discovered something that changed her life: There were new neighbors that moved in next door. Saeko immediately struck up a friendship with the kids. The girls began to talk about TV, and soon she learned that the girls loved Scarborough Fair as much as Saeko did. After school, Saeko went to the girls' house to see their collectibles. The following weekend; Saeko's parents invited the family home to dinner. During this time; Saeko grabbed her entire collection of Madame Fortuna and ranted on to her parents about the day's activities when her new friends arrived. When the neighbors arrived, Saeko stole the kids away to her room. They’d brought their collectibles and cartoon figures as well. “Have you ever been to the amusement park of Scarborough Fair?” One of the sisters asked me. “No,” Saeko said, “I’ve never have. Have you?” The oldest sister nodded, “Yeah, we used to live four hours away from the place,” She said. Saeko looked excited, “What’s it like?” She asked. “It’s magical! We’ve been at least eight or nine times,” The youngest sister giggled. The girls got called for dinner shortly after, and at the dinner table, Saeko blurted the greatest information to her parents. She told them of what the girls said to her, the girls' mother smiled warmly and told Saeko, the father also pointed out that they have some business they must do however they would like to bring Saeko along. Saeko begged her mother, who seemed surprised by this, and they would considered it however they liked that idea. Finally when the neighbors were gone; Saeko’s mother told her she could go but wanted to go over some ground rules with the neighbors. Saeko couldn’t wait for the real fun to begin! Soon, it was set. Saeko got a chance to go to the Scarborough Fair. While she was packing her things; Saeko did research on the website so she was able to see the park sights. Soon, the day came as Saeko was ready to go to the amusement park. During that time, Saeko soon learned that she didn’t have commodity with the girls anymore. However; the parents of the girls were nice enough to bring her breakfast to the room. Saeko ate up, for it would be an eventful day and she needed the energy. On Friday; the family and Saeko entered the gates and she was squealing to the girls, “What do we see first? Where do we go first? Which ride do we go on first?!” She asked while she pored over the map that she had grabbed from the entrance. “Shall we get some ice cream first?” The father suggested with a laugh, “You girls need to get some food in your system before we begin the festivities.” This excited the sisters. “Yes!” screeched one of the sisters. As the father ordered at the stand, Saeko skimmed over the map and noticed something strange. Somehow she couldn’t find any of the rides or attractions on the map that she'd seen online. The young sister noticed her silence and said, “Hey, I know the map by heart. You don’t have to read it so intensely.” She seemed kind in her voice. “I know,” I mumbled, “but I can’t find anything that I had seen online. I mean, they were all different on the website. For example, Parsley wasn’t …Pulpy.” The sister looked at the map over her shoulder, “Hmm, that’s strange. Are you sure you were on the right website?” Saeko shrugged and rolled the map up. “I guess we don’t need this anymore, since you know it by heart,” She joked. The youngest sister giggled and linked her arm with mine. “Let’s go to Sadist, first, it’s the closest to where we are.” She suggested. Saeko flinched at the name her friend mentioned, and they all set off. It was then Saeko noticed that the children were holding black balloons, the water in the fountains that we passed was distinctly murky and there was no face on the statues of Madame Fortuna that they'd passed. Her clothes were detailed, but her face was completely blank. Then, it came to the greeting of Twin Tail Rosemary. One look at Rosemary, and Saeko immediately knew something was wrong. Her mascara was smudged while it ran down her cheeks as though she’d been crying. Her eyes were red and puffy as her lipstick sloppily lined her mouth. She had a gash on her neck, which was freshly clotting up. Her hair was unevenly cut, and her clothes had been subtly torn. She smiled in a sick way at the kids around her as they posed for pictures together. Saeko and the family kept walking, until they came across the first ride: The Time Die. Saeko looked at the people on the ride, she knew something was wrong. Every single person on the ride was unconscious. Heads lolling in the direction that the teacups would take them and there were no screams or shouts of excitement that usually explode from an enjoyable ride. Saeko refused to try that ride, the parents were concern so Saeko made up an excuse about having fear of rides. So they had two options, they can either go to the Deadly Fortune or to Sane Keeper. Saeko thought Deadly Fortune sounded lethal and didn't want to be on a ride of platforms that tilt side to side. So she chose Sane Keeper, wondering what kind of name would indicate that. Walking in, Saeko noticed that the audience at the show were quiet--there was no low chatter or soft whispers. It was dead silence, not one word. The only sound was the spectators shuffling into the theater. At this point; Saeko decided to go to sleep. Later, she snapped from her nap as something similar to classical music started to blare over the speakers. It sounded like she was at an opera. The music was highly unfitting. Then everything went to hell when Saeko's favorite characters showing up on stage. Here were all the classical cast of characters right in front of her – except they weren’t. Madame Fortuna, Sage, Rosemary, King Presley and Thyme were wearing their clothes, but they had no color; dressed in all black and white as they were miming their actions. The music got louder every second but the story itself, however, was difficult to ignore. In the story; Sage wanting to commit suicide and Madame Fortuna was helping him. On the side of the stage, it appeared as though King Presley and Thyme were advancing violently towards Rosemary, who was vigorously resisting the trio mutely. The music became sadder and sadder, until it stopped when Sage succeeded in committed suicide. He cut a knife through his body and stabbed himself in the stomach multiple times; the audience was engulfed in blood. Horrified; Saeko screamed until all the air in my lungs would allow it and her vision started to blur. When she woke up; the paramedics had just arrived to take her to the hospital, they found 150 milligrams of hallucinogens in her system.

Katherine felt something dark controlling her as she went to torment Donatello, Leland and Tina mentally! Finally; Katherine snaps out of it and feels guilty however she apologizes as the trio forgive her until they ran into Ryuhei! The most evil entity who wanted to twist Katherine into a sick, twisted character so she took her magic powers upon Ryuhei and wrecked him in the most brutal ways with her mind and Ryuhei was screaming out of defeat before fading away. Suspicious of the duelers being defeated for their wicked deeds. Meanwhile; Saeko was talking into her tape recorder, “...The people stuck in my head!! After all the years of searching, I've finally found proof of the existence of these people inside my head!!” She dives under her desk, “Only magical creatures could've created that dinosaur! Now's my chance to wash the aroma of ‘crazy girl’ off me forever! Whether it was other places in the community college or right here at elementary school, I've always been the butt of many a cruel joke due to my so-called crackpot theories on the existence of these people in my head!!” She crawls out as she seethes again, “That will all change soon, but first I must prepare for them! To the cave! After I go mad on people and harness their magical powers for my own use... I'll get not only the proper equipment, but also the respect and...Admiration that has so long...Eluded me! Mine will be a new world order!” She kept watching this: Katherine was getting dubious by the minute; she believes that the snide, bravado, and elusive rich boy River Irving is behind all this. She wasn't sure what was going on but she was going to find out. However, she encountered River's younger brother name Elijah. "I'm sorry, my brother is unavailable. If you want, I can set up an appointment for another time..." Elijah explained. Elijah was close ever since childhood. But the difference between them is Elijah was much nicer than his jerk off big brother. "Elijah, I am not leaving, I like to make one measly complaint with the burnt up criminals and how they are burnt alive that way. There is something going on and I like to know what it is." demanded Katherine Elijah sighed, he ran his fingers through his hair. "Look, this isn't a good time. My brother had suffered a mental breakdown and needs his rest. I apologize." He explained. Katherine has no choice but to accept defeat; she let out a sigh. "Phew." She thought. Katherine exhaled, "Fine then." She said, "But when he wakes up and all better, tell him this--I am on his tail and we are observing him very closely. If he is responsible for all this, there won't be any mercy from me."  Elijah nodded, "Sure thing. I'll tell him that when he wakes up." He said. Katherine looked like she was leaving but she sneaked to the staircase. "Sorry, River. But I'm not leaving until I get some answers." She thought. Katherine went up the stairs, that went to the rooftop. She couldn't help but feel paranoid, "Do I ever get the feeling I'm being followed?" She thought. Realizing what she was thinking; Katherine brushed this off by laughing it off. "Ha, stupid." She mumbled. Katherine reached the rooftop and looked over at the skyline. "There's nobody here. Weird!" She thought. Then, she heard a scritch-scratch sound behind her. Slowly; she turned around. "H--Hello?" She called. Nobody answered, but there was that sound again. And it was getting closer. Katherine pulled out her weapon, ready to use it. "Come on out, I don't know who you are but I know you're out there." She warned. Suddenly, there it was--It was a monster, which resembled something inhuman. It had horned wings on its back, and bared its fangs. It snarled at the horrified Katherine. "Goodness Gracious! What is that thing? I never saw anything like it." She breathed. The creature pounced Katherine, it growled and snarled more. Drool dripped from its mouth. Its eyes glowed of red. But the rabbit creature cried out in pain and fell to the floor dead. Trembling yet relieved; Katherine examined the dead monster bunny. Just then, she felt a shadow upon her. She looked up to see that it was the same boy she saw at the shore. "It's you." Katherine gasped. She gets up and faced him. "What are you doing here? Are you involved with River? Just tell me, who are you? Really?" Katherine asked. The boy looked at her apathetically before pulling out a gun. "Sorry." He said, "Time to say goodbye." Katherine looked at him, terrified. The boy looked at her face, "Who are you? You remind me of someone...." Katherine looked shy and flustered. The boy comforts her trouble. In the meantime; Saeko paces around while ranting, “How's a girl supposed to throws madness when the table keeps shaking? I mean it-! No! Not the insanity! Anything but the insanity!” She laughs evilly. “Wahahahaha!” Later on while walking alone; Katherine turned around to see who it was, but she saw that no one was there. Katherine kept walking, a little faster however the person who was stalking her was closing in on her. Katherine quickly turned around to face her stalker. She was surprised to see that it was—River Irving. "Oh, it's only you." Katherine said coldly. "What do you want?" "I just want to talk to you." replied River. "I would like to thank you for saving my brother Elijah." This made Katherine suspicious. "I wasn't doing it for you; I was saving innocent lives who were at stake." She snapped. River nodded, "That's what I like about you." He answered. "Selfless. Caring. And your powers continued to amazed me." River then reached into the back and said, "I got something that will make your eyes sparkle." He pulled out a slim box and hands it to her. Katherine took it curiously, she opened the box to see a necklace of white pearls with a sea blue charm to the necklace. "Oh, it's so pretty. You got this for me?" Katherine asked, touched by his kindness. "Yes. For your heroic efforts that is." replied River but a smirk appeared on his face. "I feel you need to be more honored in a special way, like...Maybe joining me in a more--dealing sensation." He said. Katherine's face fell, she closed the box and glared at him. "I can't believe this! First, you give me this gift. And now you tell me this about joining you in your way? Oh no, I don't think so. I'll take your gift but I'll have to refuse your offer." She said. River was disappointed by this news. "Hmph. That's a shame, really." He said. "I am not fighting crime by burning criminals to a crisp. I won't. Never!" Katherine declared. Then, she storms away. River watches her go before a smirk appeared on his face. "Oh, I'll make you change your mind. You'll be writhing in pain until I hear you sing your acceptance to my offer." He said to himself, he chuckled in a sinister matter. That night after everyone went to bed; Katherine begins to have a strange dream where an angler fish, a white kind, chased after tiny fish and bite into some sort of coral that looked like a brain. And then, Katherine wakes up with a start, "What? Why am I awake?" She wondered. Then, her eyes glowed a whitish blue colored pupil as her activated as it destroyed the place. "What is going on?" She thought. Watching her movements are being controlled; River snickers quietly of this. Her powers were losing control and was going out of line. Perfect! Katherine tried to restrained herself of her movement to her arms and legs but she couldn't. It was hopeless! Katherine didn't understand what was going on and it was scaring her. River sneered, "Got you now." He thought. Elijah glanced at his older brother, he didn't like this one bit. Not at all. It wasn't good to him. Katherine was shocked to see her limbs moving on their own and she's not doing this. "What the heck?" He exclaimed. "It--It's not me, I feel like I'm being mind controlled." Katherine protested. Then, she could hear a voice in her mind sniggering. "Guess you know what I can maneuver." said the voice in her mind. Katherine was shocked, anger fired up in her chest. "River Irving, what the heck are you doing in my head, you jerk?" demanded Katherine. River leered at her, "You refused my offer. Nobody refuses River Irving and gets away with it! So now you have to pay. You see, that necklace I gave you had a virus which the virus injected into your neck and traveled up to you brain. Making more of a movement in your limbs, by my control. It's both painful in both body and mind." He explained. Katherine gritted her teeth, "Son of a gun--" She remarked but her arms twisted around and she grimaces in great anguish. "Uh-uh! Watch your tongue. Say one more bad word or disrespect me, and you. will. die." threatened River. Fear flooded her face, "You wouldn't." growled Katherine. "I would. Back talk towards me and you won't get to breathe ever again!" warned River viciously. "Get out of my head, River! Leave. Me. ALONE!!!!" begged Katherine. "You can't stop me, Katherine Donovan. I can control every muscle, every nerve, every vessel in your body." River declared, laughing insanely. He then made Katherine run away with her looking back as she was lured over to Irving Corporation, she tried to fight back from entering in there but she knew it was no use and fell to the ground as River laughed with insanity. Then, Katherine writhed on the floor. Her body parts--Hands, fingers, toes, feet, and legs--were twisted around on their own. "Stop....Please, stop! I can't take much more of this...." She begged. "Accept my offer and I'll let you breathe!" River replied. "NEVER!" screeched Katherine. "Fine. I'll make you suffer more and more...AND MORE!" cried River. Elijah gasped, "No! Why we are punishing her? She saved my life! Brother, don't do this!" He thought. Katherine begins to cry, it was too much for her to bare all this pain. "Help....Me....Please!" She thought through her tears. As she wept of her tears; a shimmering light appears before her. Katherine looked up, she saw that it was an angel, she wore white. "Who are you?" Katherine asked. "Hush, do not cry my daughter. I have come to save you from your pain." replied the angel. All of a sudden; River couldn't believe what he was seeing, "What--?" He said. Just then he was seized by hands and looked up to see who it was. "What the heck is going on? What did you two do to her?" demanded Misako. "It was big brother's idea really!" protested Elijah truthfully. "You've gone too far! You shouldn’t do this at all!" protested Hiram. Katherine rested in the arms of the girl, Marie Downing, as Katherine admires Marie for her beauty and goodness. For the time being; Saeko gasps in shock, “Son of a gun! River guy? He has now just defaced two jovial moods, yes? Make a funny face, for the spirit of the Insane Lunatic shall displace itself on the head of this mischief maker! Ask no questions!” She said while giggling hysterically. Saeko listening while watching this: Misako found a boy lying on the beach. The boy woke up with a start and he escapes. The second scene shows of Misako giving Lumen an envelope, which he rips it up into pieces. Misako is saddened however Lumen wipes her tears away but he leans beside her, vowing to kill her. Misako wonders why but one day, she confronts Lumen however she is held at gunpoint. Lumen cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. The next scene shows Lumen fighting in war in his giant robot but he falls defeated as he thought of Misako before passing out. Lumen wakes up to see Misako sitting beside him, she smiles at him before she gets up and walks away. Lumen watches her go, wondering why he can’t kill her. Just then, a mysterious figure was watching Katherine, who noticed that she is being stalked and attacked by thugs. Katherine escapes and runs but the thugs came up to her. "Release her!" A voice commanded. One of the thugs laughs at the figure, "Like we would!" He said.  The figure reveals himself, "I said, release her! In the presence of Asaph, I command you to let the lady go. Now!" commanded the ultimate guy. The thugs show some respect for him. "Asaph!" Katherine looked up, "He's the guy?" She gasped softly. The black yet edgy looks at the thugs, "Causing trouble aren't we boys?" He said. The thugs beg for mercy however Asaph pulls out a weapon and shouted: "SAY GOODNIGHT!!!!" Saeko is shocked and felt her heart beating and kept freaking out over the Midwich Children---The Midwich Children confronts her: " Katherine, so you somehow become stronger. Not surprising....But you're path of peace will be demolished." They said, talking as one--like they were a person. They fought against Katherine, but they laid down, defeated by her hands. They glared up at Katherine. The Midwich Children were shocked, they looked away before chuckling insanely. They looked up; sneering at Katherine, "Y'know, we would've gone away with it too...If it weren't for you meddling little girl." They said. Katherine smirks back at them, "Hmph, like I never heard that before." She scoffed. She leaned over and said, "Now tell me...Your eyes, they look familiar. Are you the one responsible for all the madness?" "No, I did." A voice said. Katherine looked up to see a dark silhouetted man. "Father." Katherine said, giving him a glare. "Father." said the Midwich Children, as if it was one person saying it. "So, you're Father." Katherine said. "Yes, I am. Why that's the first time I address myself in front of my enemies." Father remarked. "You really are a selfish jerk-off aren't you?!" Katherine demanded. "Oh, am I? I think you should....LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!" Father cried, throwing Katherine to the ground. She gets up but saw Father and his fire as well as The Midwich Children. "I'm going to finish you just like I did with your daddy." Father exclaimed, raising his weapon as if he was ready to stab her. Katherine cringed away, but she noticed she was dying and looked to see Lumen, the other guys and River were defending her. Katherine was touched by this, she gets up, "You think you're zombies can go and defeat us? I will rise and I won't fall again. You may have scared me but you will not make me a coward!" She exclaims. All together; Katherine and her friends defeated Father, who was injured very badly. "Father!" cried the Midwich Children, rushing over to aid him. "Well done, Katherine. But don't think this is over, I will be back to destroy you." Father said, there was a smoke that covered him and his children. By the time the fog cleared; Father and the Midwich Children were already gone. "And I'll be ready." Katherine claimed. In the meantime, Saeko kept giggling to herself and saying, “Me too…With I, Saeko, as the supreme insane ruler! Then, only then...Where is that coming from?! Ha! Katherine Donovan and company will never be able to escape the ever vigilant eye of my friends on the other side…!!...No way….Aha! They're here! Any of my traps are bound to expose them for the fairies they truly are! Yes!!....You're next.” About 3 years later; the insanity escalated! 

Anisem joined the group after being the lone wolf that he was. However, it all changed when the group came across an 'angel'. During the night; Anisem begins to sit there alone, away from the camp. Anisem saw he looks trouble and walks over to talk to him. "Hey buddy, why aren't you having fun?" asked Haru. "I don't know, I guess I'm troubled somehow. I'm just not the type who wants to have fun." admitted Anisem. Haru is surprised, he smiled at him: "You don't, really?" He asked. Anisem rolled his eyes, "No. I mean, I want to have fun but I don't want to because I fear of rejection." He asked. Haru shrugged his shoulders, "I know you are, you're afraid of being yourself and you don't realize how beautiful life is. You need to make friends and be yourself, don't be afraid. Just make the most of it. Have fun." explained Haru. Anisem sighed, "You may have a point, have you ever been alone?" He asked. "No, well...Yeah, sometimes I do." replied Haru. Then the two boys went back to the camp. However, nobody knew they were being watched by the likes of Katherine where she is swooning over the likes of Anisem as well as Haru but becomes upset after an intense argument between these boys. Just then, a storm came in and ruined the camp. The others tried to evacuate however Haru and Anisem were thrown overboard as both boys fell unconscious, Katherine jumped in and saved the two boys while she pulled them to shore. "Are they dead?" Katherine asked. "I don't know." said Ian. "Maybe we shall chant an incantation to rise him from the dead." Midge suggested. Sonny and Ian stared at him. "I think you've been reading too much comics, Midge." said Sonny. "Hmm, I hear his heart beating......And his too......" said Ian. "They are?" gasped Katherine. "Wait, it sounds faint...No, his heart is pulsing. Yes, he is living after all." said Ian. "Yes, I knew it." said Katherine happily. She put her hand running through Anisem's hair. "He is so beautiful...They both are..." mused Katherine. "Maybe this will stop you from fighting." Then, she begins to sing a song: "Want to feel the warm breeze, sleep under a palm tree, feel the rush of the ocean. Get on board a fast train, travel on a jet plane, far away." Stirring slowly in his sleep; Haru was astounded, confused by this pretty song of a siren voice. "Wha--?" He thought. Turning to Anisem; Katherine begins to sing again, "Want to feel the warm breeze, sleep under a palm tree, feel the rush of the ocean. Get on board a fast train, travel on a jet plane, far away." Haru found his words, "Oh....Wow......" He murmured. "....That was beautiful." Anisem said softly. Katherine smiled dreamingly until she heard Sophie and the other two boys calling for her so Katherine and her friends escaped. In the intervening time; Saeko is standing on a tree branch. In one had is a snow shovel; in the other, a rope. The rope is tied to a telephone pole. Apparently she plans to swing down, using the snow shovel to pick up the coin. “You're as good as spent, after I scrape you off with my Shovel!”  She leaps from the tree. Everything works as planned, except the shovel does not pick up the coin; the coin's inertia is actually enough to bend the shovel in the middle, rendering it useless. Saeko goes flying through and crashes down the sidewalk. “Okay wait, I got it….This time for real….Ow….Ugh, this is obviously not working. Look at them! There has to be some way!!!” Afterwards; Katherine ditched Haru and the others as she turns out that all she wanted was to take the gang down and be friends "Terrific. It’s not enough that he is cute; but he is the leader. How am I supposed to compete with that? Oh, just when you think things are looking up, everything comes crashing down." As she said that; the floor beneath her crumbles, and she falls down through a couple of layers of the old city until Katherine hits a stone floor. But the stone floor crumbles as well, and she falls through and lands in sand. She coughs and digs herself out of the sand. She looks around; she appears to be in an ancient ruin. Against one wall is a bookcase with scrolls on it. "Wow, where am I?" She wondered. She looked through the scrolls which had something to do with water magic, "Spells? I could do magic?" She thought. "With water?" She picks up a magic pendant from the bookcase; it starts to glow, and she puts it on. "I wouldn’t be just an ordinary girl." She said. With a smile; Katherine opens a scroll on a table and said, "From this moment on, things are gonna go my way, starting with Anisem and his friends." After studying for awhile with the scrolls; she learned hypnotizing songs for mind control, create any shape or form with water, freeze water, boil water, and become anything of mermaid or any other creature. Then, a woman name Calypso overhears Katherine has a crush on Haru and Anisem. So she decides to manipulate her. It was then Katherine has wandered into a grotto until the wave slams her into the water, and then she resurfaces however she is pulled under the water and is next seen in a swirling vortex being pulled far below. When she arrives at the bottom, in an overhang, the vortex disappears, and she grabs her throat, unable to breath. Just then, a girl who looks like a mermaid swims up. The water woman looks delighted. "Hello girlie!" She greeted her. "Who are you?" asked Katherine. "My name is Calypso and I'm a mermaid." said the water girl. "I'm Katherine. Nice to meet you." replied Katherine. "So, Katherine, I'm here if you need me. If you want to be pretty, if you want to look amazing, anything--I can give it to you." assured Calypso. Katherine blushed, "Actually, I had something else in mind. You see, there’s this really cute boy....No, I met him somehow....He is really someone I really started to like but I can't like him too much or too soon. His name is Anisem." She explained. But she begins to look sad, "This guy’s has a girl on his team. I mean, she's so pretty and so sure, I can’t compete with that! So I figure...Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her." That's when, Calypso came up with an idea. In the meantime; Sonny was all frantic when strange things start to happen, fire and ice were coming at him! Even the earth was coming to life as well as thunder and lightning while water splashed over him. When it was all over; Sonny, Ian and Midge looked around however they overheard Haru and the others talking. That's when, the gang laughed at pranking a caboose house--not realizing it was Sonny's caboose house. Hearing this; Sonny steamed up a bit by that awful mishap and he was about to get really mad but stops himself and smiles calmly. "No, we're not going to get mad." Sonny said calmly. Midge looked at his leader with confusion, "We're not?" He asked. "No....We are GONNA TEACH THOSE KIDS A LESSON!!!!" exclaimed Sonny. Ian sighed, "Oh dear!" He said. Saeko is talking to herself, “I beg you! In the name of all that is decent, please don't do this! Wait, no go Joe! DEFILED! SOILY! PROFANE!” She falls to the ground gasping as she becomes dramatic. “I can't take it anymore! I'm on the edge of solitary collapse! Wait…Too late. Everything's gone black! Black is the mold that permeates the insanity!” Saeko pulls out a pillow and faints onto it. “THEY'RE MESSING UP MY LIFE!!!” She screamed. She tackles and chases herself in a circle around part of the water until she falls into the water. While submerged, she has an idea. Crumpled up in the corner, Saeko was stuttering out words: “Ickity ackity oop, eh-eh! Ziggity zaggity zoop, uh-uh!  Oh oh pfft!  Eh eh eh!  Flippety flappety floop!” Saeko rolls around, "What can you do when you live in a shoe and you ain't got no sole?"

The trio found a lagoon as they lured Sophie there while she fell into it. She got out and fell asleep fast at night. The next morning, she could see it was light out. "Oh no! I've overslept!" She throws back the blankets but look down and screams. Haru heard her scream, "Sophie?" He called, he rushes over and enters her room and opened the door "Sophie, are you all right?" But what he saw made him gasp. From the waist down, where her legs used to be, was a bird feet. "Help me, what's going on?" Sophie said. Haru came by her and the others followed behind. They tried to help her and all it did was cause her trouble. They try to cut her legs apart but the weapon went flying. "What happened?" Anisem's voice said. "Where did it go?" Jethro's voice asked. "I don't know, somewhere I guess...." remarked Haru. Sonny and Midge laughed quietly. The bird feet managed to be cure but there was another problem—Brandon and Jethro were thrown around and landed on Sophie but couldn't get off her! "You guys, get off." Sophie said. "I don't think we can. We're attached." explained Brandon. Sophie gave them an evil eye, "What are you doing back there?" She asked. "We're stuck." Jethro said with a sheepish look. Katherine groaned, "I can't believe you. I'm supposed to meet my ‘date’ in an hour." She whined. On the night of the date with Anisem; Sophie disguised them as backpacks. On cue, her date arrives. They were walking for awhile. Sophie smiled as she looked around, "Wow, it's such a lovely night. So quiet." She said however the trio who were hiding where Sonny let out a hiccup sound. Sophie shot a death glare at Midge and turned to Anisem, "Sorry, hiccups." She explained. Anisem helps her out, "Why don't you try holding your breath?" He said. "Oh, good idea." Sophie said, nodding. She inhale and exhale. "Better, Sophie?" asked Anisem. Sophie smiled, "Much. Thanks." She said. Midge let out a belch, Briana looked at him all sheepish, "Um....pardon my annoying little slip." She said. Anisem patted her arm, saying: "Happens to the rest of us." Sophie smiled, "You're sweet." She said. "You too." replied Anisem. "Oh really, Mr. Macho?" Sonny muttered out loud. "Good heavens!" exclaimed Anisem. Sophie glared at the boys, "I am so sorry." She said tearfully. "Please, don't be embarrassed. I have something for that. Wait right here." said Anisem. When he was away; Briana muttered to her friends: "You big, stupid, selfish idiots! You're ruining everything!" But then, the confused Brandon & Jethro broke apart from her back unharmed--The same thing with Sophie who can enjoy her so-called date in peace. At night, Katherine has romantic daydreams about Anisem but Katherine shook her head in disgust from the fantasy. "What the heck am I thinking of sappy love like this? It's official, I'm a delusional, love-struck chick thinking like a romance novel!" She thought. The next day, Haru and Anisem were wandering around where they were found at the place where they heard the mysterious girl's singing. As they were looking around for a clue; there was a bright light from the sun and heard someone singing from afar as it echoed in their ears: "I've been driving for an hour, Just talking to the rain. You say I've been driving you crazy, And its keeping you away. So just give me one good reason, Tell me why I should stay, Cause I don't want to waste another moment--In saying things we never meant to say!" Haru and Anisem were shocked to hear it was that same girl singing to them, she did exist! They heard her sing again, "And I take it just a little bit....I, hold my breath and count to ten....I, I've been waiting for a chance to let you in....If I just breathe....Let it fill the space between, I'll know everything is alright...Breathe....Every little piece of me....You'll see...Everything is alright....If I just breathe...Well it's all so overrated, In not saying how you feel. So you end up watching chances fade, And wondering what's real...." The two boys couldn't see what was in front of them, but they saw a glimpse of a girl with hair all a-flow and she looked like she was wearing a white sleeveless dress. "Hello! Where are you?" Haru called. Nobody answered. "We know that you're the girl who saved us." Anisem called out. "Please, come out so we can thank you." But it was too late, the voice was gone. When the duo got back; they were with their friends where the trio were accidentally caused disaster for Haru and Anisem's friends. Haru was about to give them a piece of his mind but Sonny got in his face: "Get back from us, you jerk!" He said. "Yeah, don't blame us for what happened to Sophie!" Midge blurted out. Sonny and Ian were humiliated as Haru and the gang glared at the trio. "Wait, you did that to me?" Sophie asked. "You tried to wreck my caboose house from the inside with the antics!" Sonny shot back. Haru and the gang glanced at one another. "Wait, that was your house?" Haru asked. He remembered what he was talking about, immediately he felt guilty. "Oh no, I didn't--We didn't know!" He claimed. Sonny jabbed a finger in Haru's chest, "You should, you caused us to panic and think nature was attacking for no reason! How could, you no good bunch of teenagers?!" He exclaimed. Haru and his friends continuously took steps back, "Look, let's work something out." He said. But they all bumped into Sonny, who exclaimed: "Revenge is a kind of wild justice and it's best served frosty." Ian looked at him, "I believe you mean, cold, Midge." He said. "BEG FOR MERCY, I SAY!!!" shouted Sonny. "I ALMOST WET MY PANTS BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU GUYS DID!!!" sobbed Midge. "BEG FOR FORGIVENESS!!!!" Sonny yelled."YOU STARTED EVERYTHING!!!!" Midge bawled. "BEG, I SAY!!!!" Sonny screeched. "WHY SCARE US JUST FOR FUN?!" Midge wailed. "GET ON YOUR KNEES, NOW!!!!" bellowed Sonny. "GET AWAY!!!" Haru shouted. Sonny, Ian and Midge chased Haru and his friend when Katherine stopped them as she caused a peace treaty between them! Seeing this; Saeko sinks to the ground. She felt like her brains starts to expand. It grows too big and explodes, cells are flying out like popcorn. Saeko's body then goes into spasms, and she starts acting crazy. Behind Katherine and Kaniel however, one of the soldiers opens its eyes. It's actually a handsome young man. He breaks rank and creeps up behind them, finally reaching out and grabbing Kaniel from behind. "Reveal thy name, mortal!" The man said. Kaniel jumped, "Ah, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" He hissed. The young man held his hands out. "Alright, alright, just a joke! I didn't mean any harm." He said. Ricroft suddenly notices Katherine. He has already noticed quite a bit about her. Katherine blushed at the sight of him,. "Who is this young maiden, may I ask?" asked the young man. "This is no stranger. She's Katherine Donovan—remember her? And this is Ricroft in his magic form." said Kaniel. Katherine couldn't believe it: "Ricroft? The same one of Tomoko's friends?" She thought. Ricroft smiled, "Katherine, huh. Good to see you, milady." He said as he bowed gallantly. Katherine is all eyes for Ricroft. "How beautiful..." She mumbled. Ricroft looked at him, "Miss Donovan?" Katherine blushed again, "Oh...the lights! They're quite beautiful." She claimed. "Yes, they are. These people had electricity for years now." Ricroft assured her. Katherine felt shameful, "I'm sorry to come here at such a bad time. I suppose..." She said with her head down. Ricroft put an arm around her, "No, sweet lady, you are welcome here anytime." However; Tomoko got kidnapped but luckily Katherine located her and followed her locations. During her captivity; one of the guy untied her, then he asked her: "So, who are you little missy?" Tomoko swallowed and said, "I am here to bring the world peace. I do not wish for violence, please let me in..." But she stops when one of the captors jump at her, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." He remarked. Then; could feel his hands on her bare skin, Tomoko felt cold anger and kicked him in his legs. The guy groans in pain, loosen his grip, and Tomoko tried to run however the guy chases her as Katherine helps her escape. Just then; Katherine and Tomoko fell from the building as they screamed. Tomoko managed to utter out Kaniel’s name and passed out when Anisem and Kaniel rescued them. Katherine is relieved and they all try to escape. There was a lot of madness going on with the monsters, when all of a sudden there was a mix up and Haru now has another device that's not his. Later, he and Anisem were walking back as they were trying to work the device. "Ugh, why isn't this working? I just know the others are going to get suspicious." Haru complained. Anisem looked him, "At least, they won't notice. 'That's yours? Yup, sure is.' NOT MY DEVICE!" He said. Haru groaned, "Please, don't say! We're going to be in big trouble if they do find out." They managed to sneak from their friends as the two boys look at it. However some strange recordings were discovered of singing, Anisem realized something and said to Haru: "You know what this is, don't you?" Haru looked at him funny, "This is the mysterious girl's device." Startled; Haru shriek as he throws the device on the floor! Anisem looked at him, Haru was red faced. "Um...I don't know why I just did that." He said. They managed to hide it away but Anisem likes to listen to the recordings and finds them amusing however some of the songs sound so beautiful. Meanwhile; Ian is inside, checking things off on his list but notices something was wrong, "Ohhhhh, curses, I've missed a spot." He sighed, "I don’t know why I bother, in half and hour, I’ll just have to do it all over again! Heavens, the things I go through to maintain a clean caboose house." He reaches for a large stack of towels, and beings to polish the floor, which already has a mirror shine to it. He looks pleased and stands up. "Ahhh, perfect!" He said. Then, Ian could hear commotion going on from above: "ANISEM!" Haru shouted, "Stop playing that device! Shut it off...Now." Anisem rolled his eyes, "All right fine." He shut it off, "There, happy?" Anisem said. Haru was relieved and was about to fall asleep when he heard the device making noises. "You're playing it again." He said. Anisem instantly stopped it, "Am not." He said. He turned it on and Haru found him red handed, "Busted." He said. Then, the device made a low sound and turned off. "Great." groaned Anisem. "What?" Haru asked. Anisem showed him, "Look." Midge barged in exclaiming: "AHH! The batteries died!" He takes it and shouts it, "I CAN FIX IT!!!!" And runs away. Anisem looked at Haru, who shrugs. "Who says miracles don't happen?" He remarked. Midge pulled out a set of batteries from the device and use an electric wire, getting electrocuted but survives but heard the device heard it turned on: "This oughta do the trick. Music to my ears." He said. "One more time." When he did it again; he said while electrifying like a madman, "Oh, yeah, that's the stu-u-u-ff!" He said. In the meantime, the strange things happened so Midge decides to save Haru and the others from great disasters but Sonny stops him, "Oh, come on, Midge! What about all the things I've done for you?" He said pleadingly, "Midge, remember how you said you felt responsible for us being here and you'd do anything to help me out? Remember that, buddy? Please! Just push the red button! Don't you want to see your best friend in get what he wants?" He said. Sonny didn't know what to do but then, he decides to save Haru and uses the cure to stop all the disasters going on. That's when, Katherine came and told Haru & the others about how the mysterious Calypso is the cause of the havoc! So, Haru and the others came up with a plan. A few minutes later; Jethro, Haru, Brandon and Sophie were waiting for Anisem. "Tell me again, what are we doing at a beach?" asked Jethro. "Oh, Anisem's on his way here with Calypso." said Sophie with a sly look. Calypso arrived with Anisem and she was on a pretend date however when faced with choices on gems. She didn't know what to decide, "Hmmm, I don’t know." With a shrug, she said: "Surprise me, darlings." Suddenly the floor drops out beneath her. She was on a trap door, and she falls to the water below while she screamed. Above; Haru, Anisem, Sophie, Brandon, Jethro, Midge, Ian and Sonny peer at her from the trap door. Then, they all said: "Surprise!!!!" Learned that she was trick; Calypso angrily slams the water with her fist, "Why, that little savage--!!" She looks amazed for a second, and then disappears below the surface as she is pulled below. Katherine surfaces. She gasped for breath as she jumps and punches her fist into the air, "Yes!" She exclaimed. "It worked! Hang on!" Anisem said, he went down as the others called out: "Go for it, Anisem!" Transforming into the warriors; Anisem swoops by and grabs Katherine’s hands, lifting her up in his arms. He looked at her apologetic, "Kate? I just want...uh...I...uh....." He said. Katherine smiled, "It's OK, I forgive." She said. Anisem smiled, "Thanks." He replied. Hurt by the betrayal of Anisem; Calypso uses her water powers to create a gigantic wave is now following them. Anisem hugs Katherine close. "Hang on!" Once it passed; Katherine and Anisem surface. Katherine points out, "Look out!" Calypso is balanced on top of a huge water spout. "Oh Anisem! Take this!" said Calypso. She blows a kiss, and Anisem tries to swim away, but the magic encircles Anisem, and begins to drag him down in a whirlpool. Resulting him to transform back to normal! Katherine surfaces, and sees just his hand reaching out of the whirlpool. She begins to swim toward him. Then, she had an idea and called out, "Sophie! I need your help!" Downed below, Anisem has been dragged down by the aqua vortex. "Welcome to my world, Anisem darling!" Calypso's voice purred as he goes farther down. She swims up to Anisem, who is struggling to free himself from the whirlpool. "And your sweet Katherine is next!" She said. Swimming up however Katherine has a net that she throws into the water. "No Calypso! It’s your turn!" She cried. Calypso begins to struggle and thrash around in the net, but Katherine has a firm grip on it, and begins to try to haul it to shore over her shoulder. Calypso has lost her grip on the whirlpool though, which disappears, and Anisem, freed, swims to the surface. He is gasping for air begins to swim towards Katherine. Calypso is trashing more wildly than before. "Let me go!" She cried in a pleading voice. "I don’t think so!" growled Katherine, pulling her in and using her water powers as she then uses her weaponry to take her down! Staring at the screen; Saeko sitting on a pink sofa. She is reclining on sofa, she has a surprise writ large on his face; then back to her beaming with a crazed, wild look in her eyes. Yes! Yes! I love it when things go mad! I think you should go crazy more often!  She is pacing back and forth, “What did I tell you about this madness? Crazy, crazy, pure and simple! When will they get a clue? I'm a crazy girl. Oh, the nerve of those people in my head.” She chatters angrily, snaps her fingers and nods. Then she puts her hand to her ear, listening, but she hears nothing. “Why aren’t they hearing what I said?” That night, Katherine managed to get back to the land, to look for the people she encountered earlier. But when she got through the forest towards the beach, it was already vacant and getting dark. She was wondering when she was hand gagged from behind. “Gotcha! Can’t get away this time.” Haru said with a leer on her face. Katherine struggled, muffling but she thought she heard snickering of Haru and Anisem from behind. Cold anger kicked in as she somehow she was glowing and she broke free from Haru’s grip and let out a screeched. Haru and Anisem fell to the ground as they look up in horror to see the girl's eyes glowing blue. Haru is frightful, "I'm--I'm sorry!" He stammered. The two of them managed to calm down Katherine, where she managed to remain her optimistic and cheerful self as she developed a bond with these two. Afterwards; Katherine and the gang found the supply room; it was vacant ass he seems to see it. Before he knew it; their enemy name Egon pounced Katherine and her gang who fought back against Egon's gang. But they couldn't. The beatings, the bruises, and the blood was everywhere! Katherine tries to scream but couldn't because she was falling unconscious however she remember hearing Egon's voice: "That's what you get for messing with us." With one last look before falling unconscious to see a beaten, limped Kaniel being lead away; Katherine screeched in pain! Meanwhile; Egon had Kaniel down on his knees, kicking him in the head and hanging from the tree. He knew he would bury him deep in his pain and nobody will find him nor break him out. Covered his eyes of hate, nobody can save him. It must be unwise of Egon for doing this but he was letting this come true. "Please stop! Enough, I've seen enough!" Tomoko shouted, crying. But Egon and the others weren't going to stop until it happened. Kaniel broke down and turned into the dark version of what he used to be and faced off against Egon alone. He smiled, "Now that's more like it." He said. Tomoko gasped at the sight of this. In his anger; Kaniel will make Egon remember this moment as he dig his nails into him and Egon seemed to like this pain so much however he won't feel this again. Kaniel couldn't handle this feeling no more of him tormenting him however he will make him beg for mercy. He will steal his enemy's pride and make him savor this much pain. He couldn't forget how much this hurts so Kaniel will fight so much, dreaming how much his enemies run away and he'll keep on pushing until he sees his enemies destroyed. Destruction on his hands after he beats them! Katherine woke up and she walked over but what she saw horrified her: "Oh my....I can't believe this is happening." She whispered. Tomoko was shocked by this, "Ricroft! Papias!" She called out to her friends, "You gotta help me break him out of there." But they weren't too eager to step in. "I don't think that's a good idea." Ricroft said. "Why? You guys gotta help him out of this state." Tomoko insisted. "I don't believe we told you dearest, this is the rage of Kaniel's power." Papias said. "Why do you mean?" Tomoko asked. "If is beaten so far or provoked about anything dear, he turns into this frenzy of rage inside of him." Papias explained. "Isn't there something we could do?" Tomoko asked, she wanted to do something."There is one way but...It could kill Conner. The only way to stop this ferocious anger inside of him is to neutralize it with the power of his staff. It could stop it, but it could also kill him." Ricroft said, nervously. Tomoko gasped in horror, she couldn't believe it so she found the staff. Meanwhile; Kaniel was trapped in a perpetual agitation of malice, unending fit of hatred and rage where he caught in the moment of un-forgiveness. He could see the speechlessness in his enemy's eyes of disbelief yet vacant gaze is distorted and twisted in a glare. Egon's teeth glimmered at Kaniel's emotional rages of hate in mid air, how it is resurfacing and ascending with a boil. Back in reality; Tomoko reached over for Kaniel's staff but she thought about what Nathan said: "....You're nothing but a pathetic human, what can you do? You're too soft hearted, too vulnerable, and too sweet. You think you're kindness can change anything? You have nothing, you can't even defend yourself against me!" Filled with anger; Tomoko managed to tell her friends to get out of here, Ricroft and Papias looked at her in shock as they could see something was different in her eyes. Tomoko picked up the staff as she turned and faced Kaniel who was now battling Tomoko, who had the staff in hand, as she was about to finish him off but stopped herself. Tomoko looked at her friend, she was filled with such emotions but she remembered how the first time they met, how they became friends, and how they've been through so much together. She could hear the words echoing inside her brain: "......this is the rage of Kaniel's power.....If is beaten so far or provoked about anything dear, he turns into this frenzy of rage inside of him......There is one way but...It could kill Kaniel. The only way to stop this ferocious anger inside of him is to neutralize it with the power of his staff. It could stop it, but it could also kill him.....You're nothing but a pathetic human, what can you do? You're too soft hearted, too vulnerable, and too sweet. You think you're kindness can change anything? You have nothing, you can't even defend yourself against me!" Tomoko couldn't believe it, "What am I doing? Kaniel, he's my friend....I can't do it." She thought. Tears in her eyes as she felt heartless for thinking this way. Tomoko drops her weapon and stood tall, she smiled while she said: "Kaniel, I know you can hear me....I know sometimes when you're angry or being hard on yourself, I accept you for who you are inside and out. You have my full permission to be yourself because I like you for you." Kaniel was dazed, "To...Moko?" He asked. Then, he felt pain inside of him, he let out a scream, "AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" Tomoko put her hands on his shoulders, she knew it hurt him as she said with tears cascading down her cheeks, "It's OK, Kaniel." She said. Kaniel was crying a bit, "Tomoko..." He muttered. Tomoko looked at him in the eyes, "You don't hide your flaws to impress me, I just want you to open up your inner emotions so maybe we can truly become close and disclosure any secrets that might come between us. I believe in you, I'll always care for you unconditionally." She embraces him while she replied, "If we walk now we will divide and conquer this land." Finally; Kaniel returned to normal and he embraced Tomoko warmly as he thanks her for all she did. She was grateful for helping her friend in need. Katherine and the group decide to head back and celebrate! Witnessing what she saw; Saeko laughs a little before coughing, “All right. I'm calming down. Try going for three weeks without sleep and see how you feel. The incessant planning, the long nights working 'till dawn... It's enough to drive one to the very brink of... of... of... skoodely-woodeley land!” Saeko jumps into the giant pile of her things and starts rolling around in it. “I’m richer than my wildest dreams. Richer than the casinos. Richer than a thousand crooked senators! I love insanity! I love to burrow through it like a gopher, dive through it like a dolphin, and throw it up and let it hit me in the head. Ha ha! But I know what you're thinkin'. I can see it in your eyes. Heh heh. You're thinkin', ‘She's gotta sleep sooner or later, then I'll get her, and all of them will be mine!’ Begone, foul traitors!” 


Around the time she was a teenager during the destruction of Katherine’s fantasy world; Saeko and her friend, Joss Hartz, went to the abandoned site of Madame Fortuna’s Precious Strike Haven, however it didn't take too long to realize that they had to waddle in the shallow water to get to the abandoned place once known as Mystic Paradise. But they did, despite getting their shoes wet only slightly. Saeko knew something wasn't right and she felt as if she was going to panic a lot. She was saying, "Are you guys sure this was a good idea of keeping this a secret?" Joss glared at her, "Come on Saeko! Don't be such a chicken!" He scolded. "I'm not, I'm just saying." protested Saeko. "It doesn't matter; I wanted to show you this so we're going to do it anyway." Joss said in an irritated tone. Saeko nodded so they managed to arrive at Precious Strike Haven. There was a row of bodies in display but they all looked creepy. Saeko felt eyes watching her every movement as she walked pass the display glass. They reached another part of an exhibit which was dark in the room but they turned on the light and felt something upon them. Eyes, blood-red eyes in the room. There were dozens of pairs of eyes reflecting the light back at them. Saeko and Joss froze in their tracks as they saw a colony of inhuman beings looking back at them. They were larger and far more paler than any creature Saeko has ever seen before, probably a cross between multiple species that used to be on display back at the area. Saeko knew they had to leave right now. "Joss, we have to get out of here." She whispered. "More leftovers, huh." Joss murmured as they began shuffling backwards towards the door. They didn't lose focus on the group of these monstrosities, who were beginning to congregate. Joss's heel caught on something as the trio moved and he fell backwards, hitting his head on the cold concrete below with a loud smack, where he became unconscious. The colony of creature species noticed Joss's fall as well, they all banded together and moved in sync towards the still body of the young man, whooping and hollering at the tops of their lungs. Their screams sounded human-like as they approached, some of them standing on two legs as they did so. The creatures had to be at least four feet tall on their hind legs, looking almost human-like with patches of matte hair on their heads and coarse of clothing on their bodies. With about twenty of them now approaching the duo with a predatory stare, Saeko knew that she alone was going to be no match fighting them off. Saeko slowly backed up and saw something she would never forget: The critters, who were now surrounded Joss, began to eat him alive. His screams of anguish were deafened by the screams of the creatures, who were now excited and enraged. They took large bites out of him, ripping him apart like a child's toy. Joss had a slow death however he was in a state of shock as the live creatures began to violently tearing at him out of his body and drag them off into their own corners of the room to eat. Occasionally, two other dolls would squabble over a clearly distinguishable body part and Saeko would often hear the loud crack of his bones being broken from their strong jaws and large teeth. The sound made her sickened but she swallowed hard. Saeko waited until each last creature was occupied with eating before they made their escape out of the building and to the edge of the island. Thankfully, none of them pursued her as she made a bee-line it to the opposite side of the island. She had a hard time processing what just happened: Joss Hartz was gone. And he was now in a dozen pieces being ravenously devoured by some strange mutant creatures that someone doesn't want people in the city to know about. Saeko knew that there are more creature in that place. Ones that have evolved and mutated to become monstrous and aggressive beyond belief on the inside. Saeko didn't stick around to find out, getting away from that place was far safer than being stuck on an island with who knows wants to eat her. Saeko made it back to the main part of the city safe and sound and without getting caught. While doing research on that place, she learns that most people don't make it back from the island alive, and the ones that do share their stories of predatory possessed dolls of all shapes and sizes. Some who survive their visit to Precious Strike Haven say that there's black magic and human sacrifices are performed there to keep profits up. In the present; Saeko sat in the pews of the courthouse as she watched Lumen and his friends were charged on aggression. The bail is set at two times of a thousand! Saeko thought for a minute, she reached a hand into her jacket pocket and pulled enough money for bail. Saeko had a knowing smirk on her face. After being released on bail and into the freedom; Lumen and his friends glared against the bright sunlight, Saeko stood there coolly. “Hiya boys.” She greeted. “Who are you?” Lumen asked. “Name’s Saeko.” Saeko said. “Why did you help us?” Asaph asked. “Saw y’all in there, you guys seem pretty interesting. C’mon, why so suspicious? Get yo’r asses in the car.” Saeko retorted. Lumen and his friends stepped in without question. In the car, the four of them stare at her for awhile. “So, what’s your story?” Asaph asked. “I’m an impatient private investigator who has a job to do but can’t do this on my own. I’d figured, why not connect with people and you boys catch my interest.” Saeko replied. Lumen just let out a “Tch!” sound like he didn’t believe her. Saeko knew she was going to do a lot more convincing to get them started. “I’ll pay you bad boys one trillion bucks to screw ‘round with Katie Donovan.” Saeko said. “You’re joking right?” Lumen asked in disbelief. “No, don’t believe me? I got a safe but I ain’t showin’ you shit.” Saeko replied. “Sorry Saeko, but we already have someone else and we cannot possibly do this.” Asaph assured her. Saeko stops the car and pulls a leather bag full of one trillion bucks, shocking the guys. “I got the dough, you game? So you pretty boys are getting the worm, baby.” Lumen and his friends were hesitantly as they weren’t sure but looked up as Saeko looked troubled. Saeko has a doll-like face. She has huge doe eyes, voluptuous lips, she wore no makeup and her legs were slender, long and tanned. “I’m going to die out here, I just know it.” Saeko said in a shy voice. She squirmed about and hugging herself while letting out a shaky breath. She undid her buttons where her cleavage of her breasts were shown and she was wearing a corset underneath the shirt. Lumen and the boys was too stunned, he looked down to see the girl’s shoes dangling from her feet but the soles were black as soot and up close & personal was her legs that have bloodied scratch marks. The toe nails were bloodied as they looked like they were peeled off! “Are you OK?” Lumen asked with concern. “I can’t believe a guy like you would noticed me.” Saeko responded. “Oh…Really? That’s…nice of you to say.” Lumen said, he sounded flattered but awkward by that comment. “I know, right? You’re sweet….Sweeter than any guy I’ve met. So concern for a poor girl like me.” Gushed Saeko. She rocked from her seat back and forth, side to side. “Why aren’t there any other guys out there like you? Most that I would know are in love with themselves….They’re bastards….they aren’t a true man….” In frustration; she put her forefinger and thumb in the back of her mouth and after grunting and struggling, she pulled out a bloodied, rotted tooth and threw it in the other direction. Saeko moaned as she hung her head, she twitched and continued to rant: “I feel like guys are sleazy and evil ass-hats that want their pricks into girls. But not you…” She walked towards Lumen and put a hand on his shoulder while saying, “….You’re different.” It happened to so fast, Saeko stick her tongue out and bit it, hard until she cut it clean off! Lumen and his friends could feel gorge rising and swallowed, the girl smiled in victory and held her pink fleshy organ of her tongue. Red plasma and spit dripped out, she fell to the ground. The boys were frozen in terror, Saeko lift her head up as she begins to cry; then laughs maniacally. Lumen and his friends ran off but Saeko try to grab him however he managed to get away! They turned to walk off, only to see her with her mouth stained red with blood. She licked the blood while smirking sinisterly, waving at the stunned boys. She curtsy and giggled before trotting away. But kept raving like a maniac, “The Daruma Doll fell... OV-ER! The Daruma Doll fell ooov-ER! The Daruma Doll fell OV-ER!  TheDarumaDollfellOVER! THEDARUMADOLLFELLOVER!!!! The Daruma Doll asbnvvmvlll OV-ER!”
