Le Strange Mad World

This is an alternative universe that went through in my head as a kid and in my teens. See more very soon. Get inside the mind of Briana Le Strange and her wonderland, please enjoy! Thanks! --KatDon 

There were times of innocence: Rainbow cats, rainbow unicorns by rainbows, rainbow puppies painting rainbows on a rainbow gradient background. The stories of ten middle school girls from a fictional town who run a business that helps parents find babysitters for their children. The club is admirably organized, with specific meeting times, useful diary entries, dues, club positions, and fundraising. Even better, the members of the club were all best friends, who went through some conflicts, but always made up as they perpetually remained in the seventh grade. These books were easy to read, entertaining, and came to life in the release of a movie. One of the first handheld digital pets was housed in a small, egg-shaped computer and the owner was expected to give it everything it wanted: food, games, nursing it back to health, cleaning after it, and even shutting the light off when it was time to go to sleep. Famous twin sisters had it all: movies, money, fashion sense, and even better, they had it in double. Dolls were created much earlier than our collective childhoods, the obsession with these plastic dolls massively expanded during the 90’s. The dolls were no longer just blonde beauties that wore elegant evening dresses. The dolls could have red, brown, black, even purple hair. They could be Caucasian, African American, Asian, Latina; all ethnicities are represented. Furthermore, the dolls could have any occupation we wanted them to, teacher one day, scuba diver the next, and astronaut after that. Girls could either choose between one of the six featured dolls that came with their own stories from respective time periods or make their own doll to look just like them. They could dress these dolls, do their hair, and bring them anywhere; these other dolls gave girls all the essentials needed for creating the perfect, dependable best friend. The explosion and spread of dolls was a new era for young females: dream big because it’s their time and they can be anything they want to be. Briana Le Strange shows her eccentric self as a child that follows her as a child: She cuts her nails with scissors. Briana keeps doing this, however she gets scolded at for how scissors can be so dangerous if not careful. Briana would reply back, “I’ll be careful! Besides, we got no nail clippers so how else am I going to clip my nails when they get longer.” She would sneak off with scissors and hides her habit of clipping from everyone. Briana also mentions the names of her ‘sisters’, how she’s annoyed with them, writes almost realistic stories about them, she also includes the neighbor’s dog in them as a hero to Briana’s so called sisters. Briana complains of her responsibilities to care for her ‘sisters’ and how busy she can be. There was only one problem: Briana doesn’t have any sisters, the so called sisters are her dolls not her birth sisters, she would always make up things in stories so she can electrify people because she thinks her life is a sham. Briana would get overly excited and exclaims quite loudly, sometimes she gets words wrong as she doesn’t realize this until later. Briana gets uptight over her own mistakes: If she says the wrong things or did something of a blunder, Briana would withdraw herself out of shame and wouldn’t talk nor look at anyone because she feels humiliated. Problem is, nobody was teasing and laughing at her. Briana would make up things to impress people because she thought everything about her life and herself was boring, all she ever wanted was acceptance—a place of belonging and someone to love her as she is. Throughout her life; Briana was troubled with emotional outbursts, insanity boiled over and she babbled of nonsense—the things that don’t exist. Briana 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. Briana 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. As a kid; Briana thought her father had a temper. He would beat her up. Her father also beat her mother too. But for Briana? If she’d misbehaved or have a horrible meltdown; she would get sent home early. Her father was angry as he slapped her. He jeers horrible things at her. He told her to go up in her room. Briana begged him, but he spanked her hard on the bottom. She obeyed, crying on her way up the stairs. Throw herself on the bed and begin to kick, scream, and cry so loud until one of her parents told her to cut it out. Her dad wouldn’t just yell or hit at her for the things she did wrong, he’d yell at her for the simple mistakes. Accidents were a big issue for him whenever she did them. Either she spilled a drink or accidentally left the refrigerator door opened, it would be a big deal for him. Most parents would see accidents as not a big deal, they’d be like: ‘Oh, it’s OK.’ and ‘Don’t worry, I’ll help you clean it up.’ Oh no, her father would scream at me, she cowered in fear; apologizing. He’d get frustrated, “GET AWAY FROM ME!” Dad hollered. She backed away with distress as her dad threatened to hurt me if I didn’t get away from him. Sometimes she tells him that it was an accident. He’d come face to face so close that she could see the anger on his face. With gritted teeth; he’d said that if she didn’t get away and motions with a clap of his hands while saying, “BANG!” Briana got into trouble for her explosive behavior; her father would get so mad at her for it that he would hit her either her face or her rear end, telling her harshly 'You're not sorry, you'll do it again!'. Or sometimes over the smallest things such as juice spills, he would be like 'You spilled the juice, what is wrong with you? You should know better!' or 'How could you do something like that? You are so worthless!' He was very scary and he sometimes hits her whenever she talked back to him in one of argument, mentioning how she was lucky to not have been raised by her father's dad because he used to hit him back then. That’s when one day; Briana saw zombies were attacking a young boy with black hair so she goes and rescues him, the boy is thankful and introduces himself as Mokuba Kaiba, who turns out to be Seto's nice younger brother. Briana got Mokuba to safety with her magic powers as they encountered Team Rocket, Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Ra’s Al Ghual and his daughter Talia as Mokuba went back to Kaiba Corporation as he told his older brother Seto what happened. Seto Kaiba shows an interest in Briana for some reason. Just then, Briana felt something dark controlling her as she went to torment Takoto, Henry, Rika and their Digimon mentally! Finally; Briana snaps out of it and feels guilty however she apologizes as the trio forgive her until they ran into Him! The most evil entity who wanted to twist Briana into a sick, twisted character so she took her magic powers upon Himand wrecked him in the most brutal ways with her mind and Him was screaming out of defeat before fading away. Suspicious of the duelers being defeated for their wicked deeds. Briana was getting dubious by the minute; she believes that the snide, bravado, and elusive rich Seto Kaiba is behind all this. She wasn't sure what was going on but she was going to find out. However, she encountered Kaiba's younger brother name Mokuba again. "I'm sorry, my brother is unavailable. If you want, I can set up an appointment for another time..." Mokuba explained. Mokuba was close to his brother ever since childhood. But the difference between them is Mokuba was much nicer than his jerk off big brother. "Mokuba, 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 Briana. Mokuba 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. Briana has no choice but to accept defeat; she let out a sigh. "Phew." She thought. Briana 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."  Mokuba nodded, "Sure thing. I'll tell him that when he wakes up." He said. Briana looked like she was leaving but she sneaked to the staircase. "Sorry, Seto Kaiba. But I'm not leaving until I get some answers." She thought. Briana 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; Briana brushed this off by laughing it off. "Ha, stupid." She mumbled. Briana 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. Briana 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 bared its fangs. It snarled at the horrified Briana. "Goodness Gracious! What is that thing? I never saw anything like it." She breathed. The creature pounced Briana, 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; Briana 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." Briana gasped. She gets up and faced him. "What are you doing here? Are you involved with Kaiba? Just tell me, who are you? Really?" Briana asked. The boy looked at her apathetically before pulling out a gun. "Sorry." He said, "Time to say goodbye." Briana looked at him, terrified. The boy looked at her face, "Who are you? You remind me of someone...." Briana looked shy and flustered. The boy comforts her trouble. It was then afterwards that Briana is startled easily by a creature so fearsome that this thing could frightened children away—He goes by the name of Repsac! Repsac has four long fingers on each hand with pointed fingernails. His eyes appear to be entirely white with no pupils. He has a large nose and crooked teeth. His body is dark blue. Like most depictions of ghosts, he has no legs or feet, and his body ends in a wisp. Repsac also appears to always be grinning. Even when expressing disappointment of sarcasm or legitimate, his lips maintain a smile. Repsac spoke in a snarky, smooth and grim tone of voice while he laughed, “I am the keeper of the nightmare side of your mind, and a loyal servant. You must solve my riddle, or risk your health.” He said, “Are you ready for one of my riddles? I love a good challenge.” Briana crossed her arms, “Bring it on!” She declared. Repsac snickered and recited: “No matter how you hit me, no matter how hard you try, I’m always good for a laugh—what am I?” Briana smiled, “A funny bone!” She said with enthusiasm. “Rats, you're right. You may have won this time, but I'll stump you...next time.” Repsac remarked, and he swiftly went away. Later on while walking alone; Briana turned around to see who it was, but she saw that no one was there. Briana kept walking, a little faster however the person who was stalking her was closing in on her. Briana quickly turned around to face her stalker. She was surprised to see that it was—Seto Kaiba. "Oh, it's only you." Briana said coldly. "What do you want?" She looked at him suspicious. "I just want to talk to you." replied Kaiba. "I would like to thank you for saving my brother Mokuba." This made Briana even more suspicious. "I wasn't doing it for you; I was saving innocent lives who were at stake." She snapped. Kaiba nodded, "That's what I like about you." He answered. "Selfless. Caring. And your powers continued to amazed me." Kaiba 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. Briana 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?" Briana asked, touched by his kindness. "Yes. For your heroic efforts that is." replied Kaiba 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--dueling sensation." He said. Briana'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. Kaiba 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!" Briana declared. Then, she storms away. Kaiba 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; Briana 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, Briana 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; Kaiba snickers quietly of this. Her powers were losing control and was going out of line. Perfect! Briana tried to restrained herself of her movement to her arms and legs but she couldn't. It was hopeless! Briana didn't understand what was going on and it was scaring her. Kaiba sneered, "Got you now." He thought. Mokuba glanced at his older brother, he didn't like this one bit. Not at all. It wasn't good to him. Briana 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." Briana protested. Then, she could hear a voice in her mind sniggering. "Guess you know what I can maneuver." said the voice in her mind. Briana was shocked, anger fired up in her chest. "Seto Kaiba, what the heck are you doing in my head, you jerk?" demanded Briana. Seto leered at her, "You refused my offer. Nobody refuses Seto Kaiba 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. Briana 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 Kaiba. Fear flooded her face, "You wouldn't." growled Briana. "I would. Back talk towards me and you won't get to breathe ever again!" warned Kaiba viciously. "Get out of my head, Kaiba! Leave. Me. ALONE!!!!" begged Briana. "You can't stop me, Briana. I can control every muscle, every nerve, every vessel in your body." Kaiba declared, laughing insanely. He then made Briana run away with her looking back as she was lured over to Kaiba Corporation, she tried to fight back from entering in there but she knew it was no use and fell to the ground as Kaiba laughed with insanity. Then, Briana 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!" Kaiba replied. "NEVER!" screeched Briana. "Fine. I'll make you suffer more and more...AND MORE!" cried Kaiba. Mokuba gasped, "No! Why we are punishing her? She saved my life! Brother, don't do this!" He thought. Briana 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. Briana looked up, she saw that it was an angel, he was special. "Who are you?" Briana asked. "Hush, do not cry. I have come to save you from your pain." replied the man. All of a sudden; Kaiba couldn't believe what he was seeing, "What--? Yugi!" He said. Just then he was seized by hands and looked up to see who it was: Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowe Barton, Quatre and Wufei. "What the heck is going on? What did you two do to her?" demanded Relena. "It was big brother's idea really!" protested Mokuba truthfully. "You've gone too far! You shouldn’t do this at all!" protested Quatre. Briana rested in the arms of a strange girl, Melfina, as Briana admires Melfina for her beauty and goodness. Just then, monsters of zombies arrived to spoil the fun! The mutagen causes necrosis, bleeding and aggression. Although it is unknown whether the creatures are the dead reanimate and feed on human flesh they certainly display several common characteristics of the traditional zombie. They have varying skin colors, the standard ones walk with a lumbering slowness although other breeds are fast. These zombies have shown minor intelligence, such as being able to utilize terrain and weapons. Another departure from traditional zombies is that these zombies actively pursue their targets with the intent of killing them, as many of them utilize weapons and other blunt objects to attack. These particular zombies are shown to be different from traditional undead in other ways while Zombies are usually stopped dead with a shot to the head or the removal of it most if not all of the Zombies can survive, and actively pursue their targets, after having gaping holes blasted through their heads, or in fact the entire head being blown off, although this only usually occurs in the tougher ghouls. They are also surprisingly more intelligent for the most part, having the ability to use tools and weapons, as well as being able to negotiate obstacles and cover with ease. Some appear to have the drive to defend themselves, protecting their faces with their axes. They are also only partially shambolic most run or pace towards their targets, while others shamble for a while until shot, after which they will hastily pursue the attacker. It is not quite clear how the undead are created, although rows of vats appearing in both the buildings containing the zombies suggest they are transformed from regular humans into the undead. However, it is likely that these vats are merely for display or testing purposes, or for the fabrication of specialized zombies. Since bitten humans do not turn into undead as a result, it is safe to assume that the virus, if it even is a virus, is conveyed by other means, such as through the water supply which, considering the heavy mutation of the zombies that dwell in the water, is a likely explanation. Alternatively, it is possible that the zombies in the game are actually degenerated, lab-grown human beings, left with a debased hunger for flesh while retaining enough intelligence to, say, wield a weapon or drive a car. The zombies are kept in a higher state of mind, but not high enough that they can overcome their maddened bloodlust. This is backed up by the un-deads apparent inability to transfer any sort of infection, and the vats of different undead in the buildings. They were slow, weak and often coming in various shapes, the regular zombies are usually the most common enemy in the game. They are always unarmed, and are easily put down with one head shot in most of the games. They attack by biting, clawing, kicking and shoulder-barging their victims. Bigger and tougher, these zombies are noticeably taller and more muscular than the others. They often appear shirtless, or in semi-military attire. They take significantly more firepower to take down, and usually attack by punching or bludgeoning anyone. There were some that were tubs of lard are encountered during every time. Like the muscle zombies they take a lot of firepower to bring down, and are often seen fighting alongside them. They often toss barrels at the player from a distance. Surprisingly, some move and attack like un-dead ninjas - they sometimes sidestep towards anyone like a boxer before delivering a punishing spin-kick. The ax-man zombie comes armed with a pair of axes and hatchets. They use these weapons to shield their vulnerable heads, prompting the player to aim for the arms or the chest to expose the cranium. At a distance, they will lob both their axes in rapid succession at the victim, which can be shot down. Arguably the most annoying un-dead enemies, the knife throwing and leaping zombies are sometimes fused into one type of foe. The Knife Thrower will usually move around at a rapid pace dodging the players attacks, advancing until it can take a slice at the victims, all the while lobbing an infinite supply of sharp things. The Leaper, on the other hand, usually travels with a buddy, and likes to move even quicker, climbing along walls and hanging from the ceiling to reach the victim quicker. The Chainsaw Wielding Zombie runs at the victim relentlessly to cleave them in two with his motorized death-machine. There were so many of them: One Zombie with a skinless right arm and exposed stomach and facial muscles. A second Zombie in red pants with stripe-shaped scars all over its body. Another common Zombie with tattoos on its body but has a Mohawk. Some has a cracked torso, brawny and burly, wearing bandages on his head and forearms and sports climbing claws on his feet and hands. Some zombies were in a lab coat that clutches his head. When he gets close, he'll try and rip his victims' heads off! There was another zombie who was overly large and with a big, stitched up belly, the zombie will advance wobbly but speedily on his victims and even try to throw objects to bash his head in. The cause of these zombies was a large, animated pile of green slime that becomes a monster that force feeds people to eat the slime, causing them to get sick and throw up. Briana was sickened by the sight and is unable to do anything until she saw someone take down the monster and caused it to dissolved it! Briana and the others saw the girl--She stands just less than 5 feet tall, has red hair, chalk-white skin and much more body weight than her slender appearance reveals. Her dress is a size three and forehead houses a black hair ribbon. Her name is Dorothy! Briana gasps in shock, “Son of a gun! Seto Kaiba? 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. 

In a while; Relena found a boy lying on the beach. The boy woke up with a start and he escapes. The second scene shows of Relena giving Heero an envelope, which he rips it up into pieces. Relena is saddened however Heero wipes her tears away but he leans beside her, vowing to kill her. Relena wonders why but one day, she confronts Heero however she is held at gunpoint. Heero cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. The next scene shows Heero fighting in war in his giant robot but he falls defeated as he thought of Relena before passing out. Heero wakes up to see Relena sitting beside him, she smiles at him before she gets up and walks away. Heero watches her go, wondering why he can’t kill her. Just then, a mysterious figure was watching Briana, who noticed that she is being stalked and attacked by thugs. Briana 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 Shadow, I command you to let the lady go. Now!" commanded the ultimate guy. The thugs show some respect for him. "Shadow the Hedgehog!" Briana looked up, "The Ultimate Lifeform?" 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 Shadow pulls out a Chaos Emerald and shouted: "CHAOS CONTROL!!!!" In the meantime; Briana was alone and singing to herself: "Oh, thinking about all our younger years. There was only you and me, We were young and wild and free. Now nothing can take you away from me. We've been down that road before, But that's over now. You keep me coming back for more...Baby you're all that I want. When you're lying here in my arms, I'm finding it hard to believe...We're in heaven. And love is all that I need, And I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see, We're in heaven." She changed the song to various others: "So lately, been wondering...Who will be there to take my place, When I'm gone, you'll need love, To light the shadows on your face. If a great wave shall fall, It'd fall upon us all. And between the sand and stone, Could you make it on your own? If I could, then I would, I'll go wherever you will go, Way up high or down low...I'll go wherever you will go.....I don't wanna say that I'm sorry, Cause I know there is nothing wrong. Don't be afraid there is no need to worry, Cause my feelings for you are still strong...Hold me in your arms, And never let me go. Hold me in your arms, Cause I need you so. I can see it in your eyes, There is something...Something you wanna tell me. I see it in your eyes, There is something, That you hide for me. Is there a reason why? There is something, Something you wanna tell me.....Baby, I'm so into you. You got that somethin'. What can I do? Baby, you spin me around, The earth is movin' but I can't feel the ground. Every time you look at me, My heart is jumpin', it's easy to see. Lovin' you means so much more, More than anything I ever felt before. You drive me crazy, I just can't sleep. I'm so excited, I'm in too deep, Oh... crazy, But it feels alright. Baby, thinkin' of you keeps me up all night....I'm sitting here alone up in my room, Thinking about the times that we've been through….oh my love….I'm looking at a picture in my hand, Trying my best to understand. I really want to know what we did wrong, With the love that felt so strong. If only you were here tonight, I know that we could make it right. I don't know how to live without your love, I was born to make you happy. 'Cause your the only one within my heart, I was born to make you happy. Always and forever you and me, That's the way our life should be. I don't know how to live without your love, I was born to make you happy. You might think that I won't make it on my own, But now I'm....Stronger than yesterday, Now it's nothing but my way. My loneliness ain't killing me no more. I, I'm stronger...They go, Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl? And they say...She's so lucky, she's a star. But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking--If there's nothing missing in my life, Then why do these tears come at night?....To me....Tell me, Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're, Acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated. And life's like this you, You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into...Honesty, you promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it. No, no, no.....He was a skater boy, She said see you later boy. He wasn't good enough for her, She had a pretty face, But her head was up in space. She needed to come back down to earth.....No, I just don't understand why, You won't talk to me. It's hurts that I'm so unwanted for nothing, Don't talk words against me...I want to scream, It makes me feel alive...Yeah!!!!....Is it enough to love? Is it enough to breathe? Somebody rip my heart out, And leave me here to bleed. Is it enough to die? Somebody save my life, I'd rather be anything but ordinary please." Just then, she is walking about when she met a young lady alone. She recognized the girl and introduced herself, the girl also introduced herself as R. Dorothy Wayneright! Dorothy tells her about the Delightful Children from Down the Lane are out and about. Realizing trouble was ahead; Briana ran out and found a building as The Delightful Children confronts her: "Briana, 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 Briana, but they laid down, defeated by her hands. They glared up at Briana. The Delightful Children were shocked, they looked away before chuckling insanely. They looked up; sneering at Briana, "Y'know, we would've gone away with it too...If it weren't for you meddling little girl." They said. Briana 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?" There was hands clapping. "No, I did." A voice said. Briana looked up to see a dark silhouetted man. "Father." Briana said, giving him a glare. "Father." said the Delightful Children, as if it was one person saying it. "So, you're Father." Briana 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?!" Briana demanded. "Oh, am I? I think you should....LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!" Father cried, throwing Briana to the ground. She gets up but saw Father and his fire as well as The Delightful 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. Briana cringed away, but she noticed she was dying and looked to see Heero, the other guys, Relena and Kaiba were defending her. Briana 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; Briana and her friends defeated Father, who was injured very badly. "Father!" cried the Delightful Children, rushing over to aid him. "Well done, Briana. 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 Delightful Children were already gone. "And I'll be ready." Briana claimed. Briana and the others went home, where she becomes a legendary warrior and a heroine. When she snapped out of it, it was all a dream. 

It was a few years later; The pool was vast and a clear blue, the sun shines down with light making it all sparkling like magic. Standing before it was a young woman with light brown hair long enough to reach her shoulders. Her bangs were parted away, letting a little bit of her forehead exposed, making them look like a curtain. Her eyes were light blue, her skin was so fair in the sunlight. She wore a one-piece bathing suit, it was blue mixed with orange, yellow, and green like a sunset on an island. This was 11 year old Briana and was innocent, naive, beautiful, and a sweet young girl. With goggles on her head, Briana dipped her foot in the pool's staircase and put the other in. She shivered a bit but she cautiously took another step of the stairs in the pool and gulped; holding back a scream. Another step as she could see her knees are under the water and finally, she did a mid-jump into the water. She let out a gasping yelp while she couldn't believe how undeniably cold it was! "How's the water, sweetheart?" Her mother called out. "It's freezing!" Briana answered. She placed on the goggles and begin to swim underwater, looking up as the sun-rays was shining down on her like she was a mermaid under the ocean floor. She swam a little bit more, before coming up to the surface for air. There was a portable music player, on a device of portable speakers boom box that played music of a playlist for the swimming pool. Briana listened to a song that talks about a rarest relationship where both individuals have same interests and how they are genuinely intrigued by what each has to say. Anytime she listens to this song, Briana has this image in her head of her locking eyes with an unknown boy and slowly leaned over and kissed him but soon she snapped out of her reverie when the song ended. She did not understand why was she having that illusion and swam more as other songs played. That's when a song plays, which was about coming of age and loss of innocence while having regrets. However, Briana pretended to be a mermaid and being part of something beautiful, she loved her hometown that was known as this town she once lived, for it did not rain of snow. No sleet of frost all over the streets, buildings, or even up the clothes, boot, or any other clothing. No temperature dropping below zero, it was oh so perfect for her. It was because she used to get an allergy rash as well as a fever from the cold. It sounds silly but she could not go to any place cold ever again. Then, it was getting late and she & her family must get out of the water now! Before she went back to her brothers, Briana would turn to the water and whispered: "One day, I will be part of your world, one day I will."  Then, she turned and went back inside her house. She changed her clothes, but her mind was hazy of daydreams in her head. The next day, reports of a hurricane were coming, Briana went inside as she saw many violent storms before but this was bad. There was destruction and her house was falling apart. Little by little, it would crumble and kill her & her family if they did not get out of there. They immediately pack their things, they got everything before they got away however the storm was closing in on them and they had to get away from that dark gust of wind! Briana try to get away as she then was hit from a tree and fell unconscious but was consumed in by the storm as her family called out her name.....That was the last thing she heard! When Briana woke up, she saw destruction of buildings, cottages broken down, and it was all a disaster but for some reason, this was not her home. She got up and begins to look around for a bit, she called out for her parents and her brothers while trying her best not to cry. Briana was amazed but she somehow feel like she just couldn't follow them forever and she decides to go her own path. She decides to go her way however a gang of kids--Takuya and the others didn't notice she was gone so she was out of sight. However, she meets the Eds as she has a friendship with them as she finds them funny with their antics! In the meantime, Briana kept giggling to herself and saying, “Me too…With I, Briana, as the supreme insane ruler! Then, only then...Where is that coming from?! Ha! Takuya and Koji 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.” In the meantime, Koji Minamoto 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; Koji begins to sit there alone, away from the camp. Takuya saw he looks trouble and walks over to talk to him. "Hey buddy, why aren't you having fun?" asked Takuya. "I don't know, I guess I'm troubled somehow. I'm just not the type who wants to have fun." admitted Koji. Takuya is surprised, he smiled at him: "You don't, really?" He asked. Koji rolled his eyes, "No. I mean, I want to have fun but I don't want to because I fear of rejection." He asked. Takuya 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 Takuya. Koji sighed, "You may have a point, have you ever been alone?" He asked. "No, well...Yeah, sometimes I do." replied Takuya. Then the two boys went back to the camp. However, nobody knew they were being watched by the likes of Briana where she is swooning over the likes of Koji as well as Takuya 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 Takuya and Koji were thrown overboard as both boys fell unconscious, Briana jumped in and saved the two boys while she pulled them to shore. "Are they dead?" Briana asked. "I don't know." said Double D. "Maybe we shall chant an incantation to rise them from the dead." Ed suggested. Eddy and Double D stared at him. "I think you've been reading too much comics, Lumpy." said Eddy. "Hmm, I hear his heart beating......And his too......" said Double D. "They are?" gasped Briana. "Wait, it sounds faint...No, his heart is pulsing. Yes, he is living after all." said Ian. "Yes, I knew it." said Briana happily. She put her hand running through Koji's hair. "He is so beautiful...They both are..." mused Briana. "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; Takuya was astounded, confused by this pretty song of a siren voice. "Wha--?" He thought. Turning to Koji; 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." Takuya found his words, "Oh....Wow......" He murmured. "....That was beautiful." Koji said softly. Briana smiled dreamingly until she heard Zoe, JP, Tommy, Bokumon and Neemon calling for their friends so Briana and her friends escaped but from afar at a safe distance, Briana sings: "....And breakaway...." While on a mission as a captive fighter; Briana makes friends with a boy name Chiro and his Monkey Team: Antauri, Sparx, Gibson, Nova and Otto. During that time; Briana and her new friends decide to escape from this place but while planning their escape; the ring leader catches on, as he was developing an obsession for Briana, as he tried to attack them out of rage. He managed to hurt a friend which caused Briana to snap as she tries to fight back however something crashed in! There he was—Chiro and his team. Briana is awestruck by what she was seeing them fight together. She realized it was Chiro and the team! Briana escaped with them and separates herself from them to be alone. In that instant in a room of her own; Briana is singing to herself while dancing around: "You may find me just a little strange, I like dancing barefoot in the pouring rain. My mind is racing at the speed of light, I'll dance around you like a satellite. I'm reckless, you're speechless! Scream, shout, I love it loud! I feel the need to stand out in the crowd. Nothing's wrong with me...nothing's wrong with me! Freak out, I stand my ground! Nothing in the world is gonna keep me down, nothing's wrong with me!....Can you get me outta here? Take me away, we'll jump in the car. Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far that we can't see this place anymore. Take a day off, give it a rest so I can forget about this mess. If I lighten up a little bit, then I will be...Over it.....I was on my own, I was doin' just fine, when you came in my life. I was into you, you were feelin' me too, it was all a good time. You turned me upside-down, turned my world around, everything was alright. Now I'm having doubts, What's it all about and I'm losin' my mind. Too blind to see it, too in love to believe it, what you're doin' to me....When it's all about you, what about me? Don't I deserve to be happy? Spent all of my time givin' you mine, that's not the way that it should be. When it's all about you, you forget about me, you can't change what you can't see. When it's all about you, ohh. When it's all about you, ohh.....I was thinkin' 'bout it yesterday, I was thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, in a dizzy kinda sorta way, like vertigo. I've been tryin' hard to figure out, but it's drivin' me crazy, well, you'd think I'd know by now, A is last, Z is first, Living life in reverse 'cause that's the way it works! Spinnin' around I've got this funny feeling, turnin' my whole world upside down. I'll keep my heart, my eyes on You 'cause You keep me spinnin' around, Spinnin' around.....Oh yeah, it's not the take, it's the give, yes that's the way, okay, the way it is. Spinnin' around I've got this funny feeling, turnin' my whole world upside down. I'll keep my heart, my eyes on You 'cause You keep me spinnin' around, Spinnin' around." Later on; Chiro shows the team what he uncovered and they learn the pendant is a locket with a young Briana. Sparx sees it through and says, "Cute. Who is it?" Chiro replies, "Oh, it's cute alright. Could it be...?" But there was cheering muffled from outside and decide to find out where it is coming from. They saw Briana performing as she was beginning to sing. She was singing Say the Word and managed to get an offer from a manager but Briana accept while accepting herself just the way she was. On the other side, Koji was sleeping as the TV was playing the performance of Briana. Then it became a kaleidoscope with Briana singing on stage while clutching the microphone on it the stand as she sang various songs: "If you find your world is cavin' in, You can bet your gonna need a friend, Someone to take those fears away. Say the word, Make a call and I'll be there. Anytime, anywhere. Have you heard? That I'm all about savin' your world, All you have to do is say the word.....Sometimes it seems like you're falling, Falling out of the sky. Sometimes it feels like you're slipping, And running out of time. And that's when you've gotta throw it all away, All of the things that people say. And all of the doubts that fill your mind, Don't belong there! Whatever you do, you'll never be wrong. As long as you reach for it, When you reach for it. Nothing is too far, And it's never too long...As long as you reach for it, You can dream on it, everywhere it's there!.....Into your head, into your mind...Out of your soul, race through your veins...You can't escape, you can't escape. Into your life, into your dreams...Out of the dark, sunlight again...You can exclaim, you can exclaim...Can you feel it, can you feel it? Rushin' through your hair, Rushin' through your head. Can you feel it, can you feel it? Don't let nobody tell you, your life is over, Be every color that you are. Into the rush now, You don't have to know how, Know it all before you'll try....Why don't they understand? That we are all the same and we all feel lost at times? Why don't they understand? That someone else's pain is not for gain? Sticks and stones won't break my soul! Get out of the way, I'm invincible! Throw them down, 'cause the one you hurts not around...Not around...It's not your place...Honestly.....Don't think that you can tell me what to think. I'm the one who knows what's good for me, And I'm stating my independence. Gonna take the road, I'm gonna take. And I'm gonna make my own mistakes, it's my life. I decide, I decide how I live.  I decide who I love, choice is mine. And no one gets to make my mind up, I decide! I decide where I'll go, What I need, who I know. I'm the one who's running my life, I decide, I decide! I decide, I decide how I live. I decide who I love, choice is mine. And no one gets to make my mind up, I decide! I decide where I'll go, Where I sleep, who I know. I'm the one who's running my life, I decide, I decide!....You're the kind of guy, Whose hand in mine, Sends shivers up and down my spine. You took my heart and put it, Back together again. You're the kind of guy, That blows my mind, And now it's my turn, You've been right in front of me. Everything I need, Why didn't I see? You're it, You're the ultimate. It's automatic, I'm sure of it. No lie, So don't even try, To tell me that, You're not the guy. Cause I've been waiting all my life, For someone just like you. But you're it, You're the ultimate, You....It's nothing complicated, Bout' the way we live. We are here for each other, Happy to give. All we have we share, And all of us we care...So come on. Welcome to our family time, Welcome to our brotherly time. This is a festival, You know the best of all, We're here to share it all....Best of all, We're here to share it allllllll!....I know you, I danced with you once upon a dream. I know you, I danced with you once upon a dream. I know you, The gleam in your eyes is so familiar of me." More of her insanity; Briana 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. Briana 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!!!” But gets distracted. Briana is paranoid enough to think that Father and the Delightful Children might return as they will cause her downfall once again but she will not let that happen again! 

She came across a team called The Sun Riders are made by a three group with the names of Aurora Six, Super Quartz and Johnny---A trio of actors-turned-villains-turned-heroes, whom Chiro once idolized, then fought against, and is now allied with. In their debut, they were working under their former boss in exchange for their powers, but after their defeat by Chiro and his friends, they turned over a new leaf and started using their powers to guard an endangered colony. Quartz and Johnny have arsenal attire while Aurora has her gun strapped to her leg. Quartz may not talk as much as outgoing Aurora or outspoken Johnny, but he has one of the most powerful weapons. Quartz is big and muscular, Aurora is thin and curvy and Johnny is short and adorable. They wouldn't have powers if not for their former boss though Chiro and his friends beat the evil out of them. Their boss gave them their powers, and now they're using them against his forces! Johnny's a redhead and he's also a little bundle of nerves. Johnny can make black holes with just his gloves. He has complete control over them, can decide whether or not his target will be released, and they don't even have event horizons. Originally they were under contract to their former boss but later became Chiro's allies. It was easier to show this after he switched sides. At first, he called his teammates 'losers', saying he didn't need them, after they were knocked off. The next time he appeared, whenever someone in the group was in danger, he expressed genuine concern and usually did something to help. Quartz is supposed to be this, but Johnny seems to fit the role better. And boy, Johnny has a surprisingly scary one. Super Quartz compared to his teammates, he'd seem more like a leader if he spoke more. Chiro idolizes them until they attacked him and the team. He gets so mad after that battle, he immediately starts smashing his Sun Riders merchandise. Then, they regain his respect after proving they are good guys now. Meanwhile; Briar ditched Takuya 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 Briana 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; Briana opens a scroll on a table and said, "From this moment on, things are gonna go my way, starting with Koji 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 Briana has a crush on Takuya and Koji. So she decides to manipulate her. It was then Briana 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 Briana. "My name is Calypso and I'm a mermaid." said the water girl. "I'm Briana. Nice to meet you." replied Briana. "So, Briana, 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. Briana 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 Koji." 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; Eddy 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; Ed, Edd n’ Eddy looked around however they overheard Takuya and the others talking. That's when, the gang laughed at pranking a house--not realizing it was Eddy's house. Hearing this; Eddy 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." Eddy said calmly. Ed looked at his leader with confusion, "We're not?" He asked. "No....We are GONNA TEACH THOSE KIDS A LESSON!!!!" exclaimed Eddy. Double D sighed, "Oh dear!" He said. Briana 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!” Briana 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, Briana was stuttering out words: “Ickity ackity oop, eh-eh! Ziggity zaggity zoop, uh-uh!  Oh oh pfft!  Eh eh eh!  Flippety flappety floop!” Briana 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 are tricked by Calypso and they lured Zoe 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. Takuya heard her scream, "Zoe?" 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?" Zoe said. Takuya 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?" Koji's voice said. "Where did it go?" Tommy's voice asked. "I don't know, somewhere I guess...." remarked Takuya. Eddy and Ed laughed quietly. The bird feet managed to be cure but there was another problem—JP and Tommy were thrown around and landed on Zoe but couldn't get off her! "You guys, get off." Zoe said. "I don't think we can. We're attached." explained JP. Zoe gave them an evil eye, "What are you doing back there?" She asked. "We're stuck." Tommy said with a sheepish look. Zoe 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 Koji; Zoe disguised them as backpacks. On cue, her date arrives. They were walking for awhile. Zoe smiled as she looked around, "Wow, it's such a lovely night. So quiet." She said however the trio who were hiding where Eddy let out a hiccup sound. Zoe shot a death glare at her friends and turned to Koji, "Sorry, hiccups." She explained. Koji helps her out, "Why don't you try holding your breath?" He said. "Oh, good idea." Zoe said, nodding. She inhale and exhale. "Better, Zoe?" asked Koji. Zoe smiled, "Much. Thanks." She said. Midge let out a belch, Briana looked at him all sheepish, "Um....pardon my annoying little slip." She said. Koji patted her arm, saying: "Happens to the rest of us." Zoe smiled, "You're sweet." She said. "You too." replied Koji. "Oh really, Mr. Macho?" JP muttered out loud. "Good heavens!" exclaimed Koji. Zoe 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 Koji. When he was away; Zoe muttered to her friends: "You big, stupid, selfish idiots! You're ruining everything!" But then, the confused JP & Tommy broke apart from her back unharmed--The same thing with Zoe who can enjoy her so-called date in peace. At night, Briana has romantic daydreams about Koji but Briana 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, Takuya and Koji 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!" Takuya and Koji 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?" Takuya called. Nobody answered. "We know that you're the girl who saved us." Koji 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 Koji and Takuya's friends. Takuya was about to give them a piece of his mind but Eddy got in his face: "Get back from us, you jerk!" He said. "Yeah, don't blame us for what happened to Zoe!" Eddy blurted out. Double D was nervous as Takuya and the gang glared at the trio. "Wait, you did that to me?" Zoe asked. "You tried to wreck my house from the inside with the antics!" Eddy shot back. Takuya and the gang glanced at one another. "Wait, that was your house?" Takuya asked. He remembered what he was talking about, immediately he felt guilty. "Oh no, I didn't--We didn't know!" He claimed. Eddy jabbed a finger in Takuya'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. Takuya and his friends continuously took steps back, "Look, let's work something out." He said. But they all bumped into Ed, who exclaimed: "Revenge is a kind of wild justice and it's best served frosty." Double D looked at him, "I believe you mean, cold, Ed." He said. "BEG FOR MERCY, I SAY!!!" shouted Takuyay. "I ALMOST WET MY PANTS BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU GUYS DID!!!" sobbed Ed. "BEG FOR FORGIVENESS!!!!" Eddy yelled."YOU STARTED EVERYTHING!!!!" Ed bawled. "BEG, YOU MORONS!!!!" Eddy screeched. "WHY SCARE US JUST FOR FUN?!" Ed wailed. "GET ON YOUR KNEES, NOW!!!!" bellowed Eddy. "GET AWAY!!!" Takuya shouted. The Eds chased Takuya and his friend when Briana stopped them as she caused a peace treaty between them! One day; Briana woke up and decided to take a walk to a hill. While on her walk; she comes across a girl name Yakumo where she was lying on the grass and looking up at the blue sky. Then, Briana looked up and saw that the beautiful sky's yonder blue was now a dark purple. When Briana turned back to Yakumo, she saw that she was already gone! So she decides to head back. As she walked back; Briana looked up and saw that the hurricane while she was determined to get back soon. She regrets on going on this walk, it was a bad idea and she wish she stayed behind. She wished that it passed or wash away like rain. But it was getting closer and nothing could stop it. She hopes she won't blow away as she saw in horror of every debris, every part crumbling and it was blowing harder and harder. Briana managed to dodge every flying object and nearly went flying, it was so strong but she made it back safe. Then, she felt a shadow upon her and saw Yakumo. "What are you doing here?" Briana asked. At that moment, Yakumo stretch her hand out, "Come with me." She said. "Where are we going?" asked Briana. Yakumo smiled, "To Shinzo." She said. Briana got to meet Yakumo's friends: Mushra, Sago, and Kutal as well as Binka and Kutal’s niece and nephews! Just then, there were monsters coming! Briana got herself mixed up in the insanity. During all this madness; Briana found Mushra and wanted to help him out in his hideout and he agrees. While closing in on their hideout; Mushra turned to Briana with a glare. "Listen, Yakumo must be protected. You must protect her with your life, got it?" He warned. Briana nodded, "I will, I promised." She said. "Promise?" Mushra asked. "I solemnly swear." vowed Briana. Mushra nodded, "All right, let's go." He said. They entered inside as Briana couldn't help but noticed how dark it was, "Why is it so dark in here?" She asked. "We're just entering in here." Mushra said. They reached the inside from the tunnel like entrance. Briana gasped when she saw lights of Chinese lanterns. "Oh my...It's so beautiful." She breathed. The chamber revealed by the lights is quite large, and filled with a remarkable assortment of junk. Briana glances at them briefly, and then moves on. Behind her and Mushra however, one of the soldiers opens its eyes. It's actually a handsome young water devil. He breaks rank and creeps up behind them, finally reaching out and grabbing Mushra from behind. "Reveal thy name, mortal!" The man said. Mushra 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. Hyper Sago suddenly notices Briana. He has already noticed quite a bit about her. Briana blushed at the sight of him, "Who is this young maiden, may I ask?" asked the young man. "This is no stranger. She's Briana—remember her? And this is Ricroft in his Hyper Form." said Mushra. Briana couldn't believe it: "Ricroft? The same one of Yakumo's friends?" She thought. Hyper Sago smiled, "Briana, huh. Good to see you, milady." He said as he bowed gallantly. Briana is all eyes for Hyper Sago. "How beautiful..." She mumbled. Hyper Sago looked at her, "Miss?" He asked. Katherine blushed again, "Oh...the lights! They're quite beautiful." She claimed. "Yes, they are. These people had electricity for years now." Hyper Sago assured her. Briana felt shameful, "I'm sorry to come here at such a bad time. I suppose..." She said with her head down. Hyper Sago put an arm around her, "No, sweet lady, you are welcome here anytime." However; Yakumo got kidnapped but luckily Briana 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?" Yakumo 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 Yakumo’s shoulders, Briana felt cold anger and kicked him in his legs. The guy groans in pain, loosen his grip, and Yakumo tried to run however the guy chases her as Briana helps her escape. Just then; Briana and Yakumo fell from the building as they screamed. Yakumo managed to utter out Mushra’s name and passed out when Koji and Mushra rescued them. Briana 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 Takuya now has another device that's not his. Later, he and Koji 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." Takuya complained. Koji 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, Koji realized something and said to Takuya: "You know what this is, don't you?" Takuya looked at him funny, "This is the mysterious girl's device." Startled; Takuya shriek as he throws the device on the floor! Koji looked at him, Takuya was red faced. "Um...I don't know why I just did that." He said. They managed to hide it away but Koji likes to listen to the recordings and finds them amusing however some of the songs sound so beautiful. Meanwhile; Double D 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, Double D could hear commotion going on from above: "KOJI!" Takuya shouted, "Stop playing that device! Shut it off...Now." Koji rolled his eyes, "All right fine." He shut it off, "There, happy?" Koji said. Takuya was relieved and was about to fall asleep when he heard the device making noises. "You're playing it again." He said. Koji instantly stopped it, "Am not." He said. He turned it on and Takuya found him red handed, "Busted." He said. Then, the device made a low sound and turned off. "Great." groaned Koji. "What?" Takuya asked. Koji showed him, "Look." Ed barged in exclaiming: "AHH! The batteries died!" He takes it and shouts it, "I CAN FIX IT!!!!" And runs away. Double D looked at Takuya, who shrugs. "Who says miracles don't happen?" He remarked. Ed 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 Ed decides to save Takuya and the others from great disasters but Eddy stops him, "Oh, come on, Lumpy! What about all the things I've done for you?" He said pleadingly, "Lumpy, 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. Eddy didn't know what to do but then, he decides to save Takuya and uses the cure to stop all the disasters going on. That's when, Briana came and told Takuya & the others about how the mysterious Calypso is the cause of the havoc! So, Takuya and the others came up with a plan. A few minutes later; Tommy, Takuya, JP and Zoe were waiting for Koji. "Tell me again, what we are doing at a beach?" asked Tommy. "Oh, Koji's on his way here with Calypso." said Zoe with a sly look. Calypso arrived with Koji 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; Takuya, Koji, Zoe, JP, Tommy, Bokumon, Neemon and the Eds 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 savages--!!" She looks amazed for a second, and then disappears below the surface as she is pulled below. Briana surfaces. She gasped for breath as she jumps and punches her fist into the air, "Yes!" She exclaimed. "It worked! Hang on!" Koji said, he went down as the others called out: "Go for it, Koji!" Transforming into the warriors; Koji swoops by and grabs Briana’s hands, lifting her up in his arms. He looked at her apologetic, "Brie? I just want...uh...I...uh....." He said. Briana smiled, "It's OK, I forgive." She said. Koji smiled, "Thanks." He replied. Hurt by the betrayal of Koji; Calypso uses her water powers to create a gigantic wave is now following them. Koji hugs Briana close. "Hang on!" Once it passed; Briana and Koji surfaced again. Briana points out, "Look out!" Calypso is balanced on top of a huge water spout. "Oh Koji! Take this!" said Calypso. She blows a kiss, and Anisem tries to swim away, but the magic encircles Koji, and begins to drag him down in a whirlpool. Resulting him to transform back to normal! Briana 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, "Zoe! I need your help!" Downed below, Koji has been dragged down by the aqua vortex. "Welcome to my world, Koji darling!" Calypso's voice purred as he goes farther down. She swims up to Koji, who is struggling to free himself from the whirlpool. "And your sweet Briana is next!" She said. Swimming up however Briana 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 Briana 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 Koji, freed, swims to the surface. He is gasping for air begins to swim towards Briana. Calypso is thrashing more wildly than before. "Let me go!" She cried in a pleading voice. "I don’t think so!" growled Briana, pulling her in and using her water powers as she then uses her weaponry to take her down!


Later on; Briana begins singing to herself alone again: “Just a day, just an ordinary day...Just tryin' to get by...Just a boy, just an, ordinary boy but...He was looking to the sky and....As he asked if I would come along, I started to realize that every day he finds just what he's lookin' for. Like a shooting star he shines, and he said...Take my hand, live while you can, Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand....Making my way down town, Walking fast, Faces pass and I'm home bound. Staring blankly ahead, Just making my way, Making a way through the crowd. And I need you, And I miss you, And now I wonder...If I could fall, Into the sky. Do you think time would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles, If I could just see you, tonight...And I, I don't want to let you know...I, I drown in your memory...I, I don't want to let this go....I, I don't.....Making my way down town, Walking fast, Faces pass and I'm home bound. Staring blankly ahead, Just making my way, Making a way through the crowd. And I need you, And I miss you, And now I wonder...If I could fall, Into the sky. Do you think time would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles, If I could just see you....If I could just hold you....Tonight.....” And skips away. That night, Briana 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.” Takuya said with a leer on her face. Briana struggled, muffling but she thought she heard snickering of Takuya and Koji from behind. Cold anger kicked in as she somehow she was glowing and she broke free from Takuya’s grip and let out a screeched. Takuya and Koji fell to the ground as they look up in horror to see the girl's eyes glowing blue. Takuya is frightful, "I'm--I'm sorry!" He stammered. The two of them managed to calm down Briana, where she managed to remain her optimistic and cheerful self as she developed a bond with these two. She was grateful for helping her friend in need. Briana and the group decide to head back and celebrate! Just then; Briana bravely made to the stage and begins to sing, “Sometimes it feels like you're falling, Falling out of the sky. Sometimes it feels like you're slipping, And running out of time. And that's when you've gotta throw it all away, All of the things that people say. And all of the doubts that fill your mind--Don't belong there! Whatever you do, you'll never be wrong. As long as you reach for it, When you reach for it! Nothing's too far--And it's never too long, as long as you reach for it! You can dream on it, everywhere it's there! There's so much distance, Between what you want and what you've got. But if you really want it, it's your life....So, you gotta try. You've gotta fly! Whatever you do, you'll never be wrong...You can reach for it....You can reach for it...It's never too far and it's never too long, As long as you reach for it. You can dream on it, everywhere! All you gotta do is reach for it, All you gotta do is reach for it! Whatever you do, you'll never be wrong. As long as you reach for it, When you reach for it! Nothing's too far--And it's never too long, as long as you reach for it! You can dream on it, everywhere!!!!” While she was singing; Takuya and Koji is amazed while they realized the girl singing to them is really Briana. The enemy tries to take on the others but Briana’s singing caused the enmy to cry out pain and he begins to disappear forever! When Briana stopped singing; everyone cheered but also she got a kiss on the cheek from Takuya and Koji each. Briana is happy and she is honored a heroine as she returns home. Briana will always treasured the memories she had and feels wonderful. She woke up and realized it was a dream again.
