Patchy Frost 9: Boys! Boys! Boys!

Hey guys! What's up? OK, we're gonna do different stuff and we're gonna add some nice guys so please enjoy. --KatDon 

Imagine: You’re walking in the city on an ordinary day when you look up and horrify to see destruction of two skyscrapers crumble before you. That was the day that many people lost their lives both in plane and in the buildings. Who is responsible for all this madness? A cult known as ‘radical terrorists’ but that’s not the first time that it happens. They had caused other disasters so violently that many people either died or injured. It was so bad enough that it had to do with murdering folks and sometimes themselves for the sake of their ‘Heavenly Savior’. It wasn’t until they had kidnapped three hostages, no matter what their loved ones begged and cried; those hostages were dead! Then, a suicidal bombing while a concert was going on that injured people and killed a lot of folks. And now, a banquet party turned into a nightmare when two couples who were radicalize terrorists killed fourteen people, a policeman, and injured many. It was tragic, really. These radical terrorists have gone too far and are creating great chaos among the madness of others! They are causing death and destruction. They believe that the ethical people in the world from their homeland are considered evil! The only hope in this world gone crazy is five elite agents who are known as ‘Misfit Boys’. There will be a day when these guys will save the world; these boys will shake the foundations of the terrorists’ radicalization and bloodshed as they will change the course of history—if they can survive! Never underestimate them; they are so desperate they’ll battle even if it means fortifying their lives. Those who lay eyes on these guys won’t be allow to live. The five elites do have names! Parthalan Venen—ready for battle! He walks the path of the warrior; he must choose between love or hatred. When it comes to his emotions, he has no idea what is wrong with him. Kobus Kiddo—another proud line of warriors. He is behold a diligent man with integrity. Sherrod Collins—while polite and honest; he is a leader of a man that won’t be taken lightly.  Jethro Starling—stoic almost to a fault. He completes missions with ruthless affiance, he will correct the mistakes of his enemy’s weakness. And lastly, Funske Gholam—to his enemies, their dilemma has drop like a domino! He’ll find a way to save lives or take them all with him alive. Anyone who faces him will have a date with a bitter wit’s end. But how do they come together in the first place? Well, let’s turn the page and go back to where it all begin but to be warn, their pasts aren’t pretty pictures to look back on. 
From Amerik Metropolis; Hand in hand, brother and sister were in front of their new home of the Korvin Manor run by Mrs. Valentine Korvin herself. The sister is Nina Venen and her little brother was Parthalan. Their father went missing and their mother died in a car crash so now they are orphans. They have no relatives, no grandparents, no uncles, aunts or cousins—nobody. Thankfully; Nina managed to contact Mrs. Korvin and told her the situation, Mrs. Korvin was gracious enough to let the siblings stay at her manor. But they weren’t the only orphans staying there: There were boys about Parthalan’s age. Their names are Lysander, Nico, and Eric. While he was exploring, Parthalan meets a red haired boy. “I’m Lysander, what’s your name?” asked the boy with the red hair. “Parthalan.” Replied Young Parthalan. “Cool name. Boy, am I glad you’re here with us. It gets really creepy around here alone at night.” Said Lysander. “What do you mean by that?” asked Parthalan. “Well, I don’t know if this is true or not but there are rumors that say there’s some murders going around here.” Whispered Lysander. “At night, just like this one orphan boy that went missing. He left for one minute and never came back, the police found the boy’s body and said his body was cut apart by a ‘monster’, scary isn’t it?” Indeed that scared Parthalan but for a different reason: He didn’t want his sister Nina to be involved in this madness. He may have been the younger brother but he was very protective of his sister. In the morning, the orphans went to see an exhibit of bugs at a museum where they met a kindhearted professor where he demonstrates on these kinds of insects called cicada. Immediately, Parthalan took noticed of this critter and was amazed by the sight as well as the facts where the cicada show no interest on pestering humans and only eat wood from the ground. “Would anyone like to hold it?” asked the professor. The three boys shrank back in fear but Parthalan didn’t. “I will.” He said. He held the insect cicada in his hand and smiled. “My Jove! I never seen a cicada act this way. I see you show no fear towards it.” Remarked the professor. “Insects don’t bother me, I love them.” Replied Parthalan, he let the insect crawl his arm. He saw the cicada flew a little and went up Parthalan’s wrist down to his hand. Nina smiled, “My brother has a soft spot for bugs.” She explained briefly. “I can see that, they are part of life my dear.” Said the professor. Parthalan seem to have a connection with this cicada and for some reason, he knew what it was feeling. Once that was over, the orphans went home and went through the daily routine of eat and sleep when it was time for bed. However, things would change on this particular night. Parthalan woke up in the middle of the night and went to get a drink of water. As he was doing so, he heard a bang and a body fell to the ground—all bloodied and not moving. Parthalan jumped and approached it with caution. He turned the body around and was shocked to see it was that nice professor from before! He rushed back to his room where he shook Nina and whispered, “Nina! Nina, wake up!” Nina roused from her slumber and saw her brother was scared. “Parthalan, what’s the matter?” She asked softly. “Sis, I saw him! The professor! He was dead!” claimed Parthalan quietly. “Oh Brother, you must have been dreaming.” Nina replied gently. “No, I wasn’t!” Parthalan muttered to her, “I just woke up from a bad dream and wanted to get some water. I heard a noise and—Bloody, the body, oh sis!” Parthalan whispered. He begins to wept as Nina hugged him, soothing his fears. In the morning, the police was at the Korvin Manor as the policemen talk to Parthalan, much dismay and anger by Mrs. Korvin. “How could you disobey my orders of going downstairs and wandering about?” scolded Mrs. Korvin. “Do I have to repeat myself? I wasn’t wandering; I woke up from a bad dream and wanted to get some water. I heard a noise and there was a body that plopped to the ground. I approached it cautiously and saw it was the professor who was in charge of the cicada bugs.” Said Parthalan. “Did you see anyone else?” asked the policeman. “No Officer, I was so scared that I went back to my sister and woke her up to tell her what I saw.” Explained Parthalan. Later, he was about to go to bed and saw the others weren’t in their beds as he went around to find them, exclaiming for their names but no luck. “Lysander? Nico? Eric?” called Parthalan. Nobody answered. “C’mon you guys, this isn’t funny! Come on out!” Parthalan said. Just then, he heard a boy’s scream! He knew who it was! “Lysander!” exclaimed Parthalan. He ran to the direction of where the scream was coming from! It came from the bathroom. By the time he got there, the screaming had stopped. Parthalan walked to the bathroom to wash his hands but recoiled in fear when he saw blood and maggots coming out of there. He turned it off and approaches the shower, pulling back the curtains. There he found a horrifying discovery—a dead boy! It looked like he was tied up and hung by his wrist, stabbed multiple times. “Lysander?” stammered Parthalan. Then, a knife cut the dead boy’s body apart and a masked figure try to attack Parthalan! Parthalan dodged it and escaped with ease however he was scared and would not stop running until that masked murdering figure would not find him or chase him. He ran, and ran until he felt like his lungs would burst. He stopped finally to catch his breath and walked a little but Parthalan looked out the window and saw a figure falling out the window, he could not believe it. “Nico!” He bellowed as he rushed down and got outside to see Nico frantically waving in the water. “Glub—Glub—Parthalan! Help—glub glub—me!!!” sputtered Nico. He stopped waving and drowned in front of a shell shock Parthalan however something else had emerged from the pool, it was that masked figure again! He begins to chase Parthalan, who was already running away. However, he managed to find Nina who was exploring around and shows him what she discovered. “Nina, what did you find?” asked Parthalan. Nina pointed down, “Dad.” She simply said. There was a skeleton on the floor and had a name on him that said ‘Parthalan Venen Sr.’ on its tag. The siblings read his journal and found out that he went missing for he was a prisoner in the manor by the cruel mistress Valentine Korvin and her two deformed children! His death was caused by beaten to death and starved for days. Nina took the skeletal corpse in her arms and cradle it, “Oh Papa.” She sobbed. Parthalan patted the bleach white skull of the man once known as his father. “Dad, what happened here? What’s going on here?” He thought. Further into the house, the siblings discovered the mutilated bodies of animals such as crows, dogs, and cats—even deer and rabbits too! There was one body that looked human,  Parthalan was horrified to discover that this was none other than Eric! “Oh no, Eric.” He gasped. During this time, he was looking around and turned to find his sister was nowhere in sight. He found a secret passage way that lead to the cave and he went in where Parthalan found his sister tied to the ground and released her from her bounds. The two managed to get out of the cave until the masked figure appeared, chasing them! He pulled out a gun and shot Nina in the back. “NOO, NINAAAAAA!!!!” shouted Parthalan. Poor Nina was dying as she managed to speak her last words to her little brother: “Parthalan, I—please, stop her! Stop Mrs. Korvin and her children! They are the ones responsible for the murders. Save yourself, goodbye Parthalan…” And died. Parthalan try to scream out her name but it was hopeless, she was dead. Parthalan managed to get to the lab and hide from the murderer. Hiding in the lab alone; Parthalan was crying like a baby over the death of his sister until he heard a buzzing sound beckoning to him—the insects cicada were trying to communicate with him telepathically! Parthalan then freed the bugs as he learns that he can control them! He faced the masked killer—whose name is Ross—and he uses the cicada to take Ross down while killing him too. However, this was short lived when an enraged Mrs. Korvin nearly killed Parthalan with an ax however he dodged her as Korvin panted and her hair was a mess as well as her eyes were red. “You stupid boy!!! That masked murderer was just deformed, imperfect but still he….he…He was my son and you killed him! You are nothing more than a disease in this manor! A catastrophe to us all! To me, you Parthalan are just as your father!” screamed Mrs. Korvin. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. However, the silence broke when Young Parthalan begin to chuckle, and then he laughed a maniacal laugh. “Catastrophe huh. Fine, from this point on, I will use that codename. I will train myself to get stronger and I’ll return to come and find you Valentine Korvin! Just you wait!” vowed Parthalan, he then disappeared. Mrs. Korvin watched him go and muttered, “I’ll be waiting for you—Parthalan! I’ll have my revenge too!” Looking over the city from high above, Parthalan thought about how he will use the cicada to avenge for Lysander, Nico, and Eric. Even for you, sister. I will eliminate all monsters in my path.” Claimed Parthalan, “I promise you Nina….REVENGE!”  There is a curse of Millhaven amongst the people is what happened to Funske when he was a child. He was an orphan just like Parthalan but this couple was nicer and not so malevolent. Funske noticed there was a lot of crimes and murders going on in this crazy town. It turns out in Millhaven is where an evil girl by the name of Loretta Martin, friends call her ‘Lottie’ where nobody knows how much of sociopath she is. However, Lottie went over to where Funske was and she killed his adoptive parents as well as the other orphans, shocking Funske who faced off against Lottie and lured her to the beach as he knocks her out. Tied her up and push her down into the ocean but not before taking her gun and killing her. He also disposes the weapon as well as held a cremation for the ones he lost on that day and decided to do good for others. So far, no one has seen or heard of Lottie again and this won’t be the last time. 
The town called Helpless Dancer had a miserable boy. Bitter heartened boy, that’s exactly what describes Jethro Starling. He was taken in by his absurdly youthful aunt name Ms. Terri. Terri has been through hardships of abuse: There was that unspeakable maltreatments from her perverted grandfather, her mother blames her for nothing—thinking it was Terri’s fault, her father was a drunkard, her brothers aren’t so supportive, and her boyfriend is an unstable, psychotic fellow that wasn’t too good to sweet, loving Terri. Jethro was nothing more than a selfish and seemingly apathetic boy that believes his aunt was privileged, he begins to have lustful dreams about pretty girls and bloody violence. He was into scars as he found a fetish in them. He finds scars ‘beautiful’ although the story behind them isn’t so pretty! There was one girl who had a good heart and saw his soul for what he is inside. Her name was Jolene Parton, she apparently showed concern and caring for Jethro, Jolene may have a crush on him because it was a loner and quiet guy but cute, eccentric. Jethro was into dissecting dead animals, dreams of gory mad scientist-esque nightmares that he finds appealing, and he fanatises about more pretty girls, open heart surgeries, and other violent things. Then, Jethro grew a heart for his aunt after learning that Terri was pregnant with her psychotic boyfriend’s child and help his aunt however one night when he was out for errands, Jethro found a meaty-mass in an alley that came to life and got on Jethro’s right arm where it became a manifest and was a blood-red, mangled flesh on him that would soon be of help to Jethro! One night, Aunt Terri never got to the hospital as her water broke! Jethro helps her aunt give birth to a beautiful baby boy look just like Terri. Terri cried, overwhelmed with joy and named her son Victor. Using his red right hand; Jethro stopped the bleeding and cut the umbilical cord. Terri was surprised as the relationship between him and his aunt was mended. But the father was not around and Jethro was protective over his newborn cousin who grew up to be a young boy. And Jethro was becoming like a mentor to Cousin Victor however it wasn’t long until Terri dated somebody else—a black male name Earl who was an abusive, mean man that soon beat Terri. Once again, Terri was pregnant with Earl’s twin daughters and gave birth to the twins by the names of Delia and Gwen. But Earl’s sisters made no hesitation to make Terri’s life miserable on her social media page where they wrote nasty things about her for her to see as well as insult her by calling her a ‘harlot’. The last straw was when Jethro came home to find Earl beating Terri—in front of the kids! Angered by this sight; Jethro’s right arm became mangled flesh and Jethro charged in as he brought down Earl with one slam to the ground. Jethro was mad as he glared down at Earl with viciousness in his eyes. “You son of a bitch! Who do you think you are doing this to me?” demanded Earl. “I am your curse filled with crimson of your blood. The next time you do this to my aunt, I will take you down and break your skull open, do you understand?! Don’t you ever lay a hand on my aunt in front of her children!” growled Jethro. Earl was terrified, Terri was amazed and her children were frozen with fear. After Earl left; Jethro treated his aunt’s bruises and cuts as he comforted Victor, Delia, and Gwen. The three of them were crying, they seemed so scared as Jethro vows to protect them all! At the same time, Jethro met a boy his age by the name of Sherrod Collins. Sherrod was a nice, sweet, and gentleman who never like violence however he had a split personality name Justice. This split personality was created in Sherrod’s mind after Sherrod suffered a terrible memory of his father’s murder by Sherrod’s mother, who learnt her husband was having an affair. In his life, Sherrod was abused by his mean old uncle and his bullying cousin. His mother’s crime, his uncle’s mistreatment and his cousin’s aggravation had caused Sherrod to create a split persona that fought back against his uncle and cousin, where they fear him now. Together, Jethro and Sherrod became a duo pair of friends to fight for justice under codenames. Sherrod uses ‘Justice’ while Jethro uses the name ‘Crimson Curse’ for he was the tall, handsome man in a dusty jacket with the red right hand! On the other side of town was Saylor Lake where a young boy name Kobus that went through his adolescent years of dealing with a cruel teacher, a smothering yet over protective mother who thought she knew better, and a girlfriend name Fiona that cheated on him with infidelity of other loves. Kobus grew up without a father as he was the scapegoat and an only child however he found happiness when he met a girl by the name of Susie who became the love of his life until she was killed by radical terrorists while she was riding in a hot air balloon. This caused Kobus to become heartbroken, the love of his life was taken from him forever. One day, he went through depression and fell asleep where he entered a dreamland where he meets a magic man by the name of Barry Saturday, who convinces him to leave the boundaries of his ordinary life. It wasn’t until Kobus was on trial where the unbearable testimonies against him from others such as his teacher, his mother, and Fiona. His teacher admonishes him for lacking any potential; his mother just wants to keep him sheltered from the world, while Fiona calls out on Kobus for being an idiot for not suspecting of her unfaithfulness. Barry then took down the walls of Kobus’s comfort zone with a sledgehammer as Kobus awoke from the dream world where he decides to make changes to his life as he humiliates his former lover and shames her for her wicked betrayal against her other lovers. Thanking all three that inspired him even though he shouldn’t because they did him wrong but they taught him to not let others pin him down or tell him what’s wrong or right. Thus, Kobus gained the codename ‘Trinity’! 
Years later into the present…. 
“Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Subject has broken into the base and is moving to the top secret area of Section 21. Do not him get in there, keep him at bay.” Said the drone from the speakers overhead. POW, POW went the guns as whoever it was took down the security and made his way through the security. He was unstoppable for a young man, but this wasn’t an ordinary man. This was Funske Gholam! He woke a short sleeved, dark blue jumpsuit and his long, dark brown hair was in a braid. And matching shoes. He looked to be about 15-to-17. Funske has become a charming, wisecracking, and mischievous fellow but still maintained his dark side. “Ha-ha, too damn easy!” He said, “Now let’s see what the military has inside this baby!” Once he took down the guards and the rest of security, he walked towards Section 21’s base in the heart of it all. “Ooh, top secret. It’s so secrecy! Not anymore, ha!” remarked Funske with sarcasm. He looked over at the sign and reads out loud: “‘Warning, doors cannot open unless password is used.’ Lucky me, I know it!” He goes to the keyboard that had letters all over it. “OK, password is ‘Nee-nah’. Nina.” Mumbled Funske. The doors immediately clicked open as Funske peered in as he wondered: “What could they kept in here that was top secret?” Just then, a figure emerged from the darkness to reveal a young man his age. He wore jeans, a dark green tank shirt, and his bangs were along his forehead. “Who are you? What are you doing here?” asked Funske, “You are the top secret weapon of Section 21? That can’t be!” The mysterious boy spoke in a monotone low voice, “My name is Parthalan Venen. You have released me from my prison and for that I will grant you what thy heart’s desire.” This surprised Funske, he was about to ask but there was more enemies coming and he groaned. “Now what?” He whined. “Never fear, I will take on the enemy. Watch and learn, my rescuer Funske Gholam.” Said Parthalan. He took down the guards swiftly without breaking a sweat, Funske watched with amazement as he couldn’t believe it. Once the battle was over, Funske called out: “That was amazing, Parthalan! But what exactly did you mean that you will grant me whatever my heart’s desire?” Parthalan smirked as he said, “You’ll see soon enough.” Funske didn’t want him to leave but Parthalan reassured him: “Do not fret; we’ll cross paths once more. Meet me at the vacant, ancient building known as Gunner Dame Wing.” With that, he turned and walked away. Funske looked after him in shock! In the meantime; Jethro and Sherrod are the same age as Parthalan and Funske. Jethro has side swept bangs that cover each eye depending on the angle while Sherrod has blonde hair and has bangs swept along his forehead. Jethro and Sherrod are faced with the radical terrorists while they are in the conflict in the desert’s battlefield until they are rescued by Rael Sebastian, who was the same as them as he has a short black ponytail that’s tied a little in the back of his head. He wore white trousers and a blue tank shirt. They learnt about Parthalan and Funske’s escape as their whereabouts. They decide to pursue the two, believing they could be the source to chance the world. “So this is the Gunner Dame Wing…This place is abandoned after it shut down 30 years ago because of some freak accident.” Said Funske, who walked down the empty halls of the abandoned building in the city of Saylor Lake and came across the auditorium where he pulled out his gun and aim at the dark figure whose back was turn to him. The lights came on in a blinding flash, Funske glared against the lights until he saw Parthalan standing on the stage and saw Funske. “I’ve been expecting you, Funske.” He said. Funske put his gun away and folded his arms to him, “So, what’s the point of bringing me to this shing ding?” He asked. “No one will find us here, this place has been vacant for a long time as you know.” Replied Parthalan. “I am aware of your codename. ‘Dilemma Domino’, is it? Why did you give yourself that codename?” Funske smirked, “I got that by my creed. I am ending the dilemma, making my opponents fall like dominoes—Every single one of them.” He answered. “Would you like to know my codename?” asked Parthalan. Funske shrugged, “Why not. What’s yours then? Mysterious Boy?” Funske joked. Parthalan didn’t laugh or smile but he responds with, “Not exactly.” Just then, Funske heard a buzzing sound overhead and was startled to see many bugs surround Parthalan, who crossed his arms and smirked down at Funske. “Catastrophe.” He said. Funske smiled, “Cool.” Parthalan held out his hand and the bugs quieted down. “You see, Funske.” Explained Parthalan, “The bugs here are you see are called cicada. These are not ordinary insects, they are telepathic. They can sniff out anyone who has left broken people behind, anyone of a criminal who is guilty of things he or she got away with so easily. Anybody who has done you or anyone has wrong; you or I could find this creep.” Funske recalled what Parthalan said earlier: “So that’s what you meant by granting me whatever my heart’s desire huh?” He inquired. “Precisely Gholam.” Remarked Parthalan, “We are both destructive, we are living in a world full of chaos and madness is all you see. To survive in this disastrous land, we need to become the insanity too. There are a lot of people who are a disease to the body of Saylor Lake City. We will track down the disease and ‘cure’ them of their pain. What do you think of that ‘D.D.’?” Funske replies back with, “You’re offering me to join your mad world plan of chaos to take down criminals and other bad people?” He then laughs and says, “I love it! You are really capable of surprising me Parthalan. This could be the beginning of a great partnership.” Just then, a voice spoke up: “Do you really think you two can face this alone? By yourselves, rather?” Funske turned around and Parthalan glared at who it was. It was Jethro Starling, Sherrod Collins, and Kobus Kiddo! “Who are you? How did you find this place?” demanded Parthalan. “Don’t worry, we managed to find out about you troublemakers and we mean no harm at all.” Jethro said. “My friend here is right, we want to form a squad.” Said Sherrod. “A squad?” Funske asked. “You guys are after the same goals as we are. We want to help you form this kind of war. I don’t agree with this but you’re right, we’re living in a mad world of people who do terrible things to others. Into doing so, I thought maybe the five of us could come together and fight off against the forces of evil but also, my main concern is these radical terrorists who are murdering innocent lives for the sake of martyrdom and for their ‘Heavenly Savior’. As far as I know, I know my Heavenly Savior wouldn’t want people to be killed in battlefield. So, what do you say?” explained Sherrod. Parthalan and Funske glanced at each other as they look back at the three, “Sure.” Funske answered. “We accept your proposal.” Replied Parthalan. “Good, I’m glad to hear. By the way, these two—This is Jethro Starling.” Said Sherrod, gesturing towards Jethro on the left. “And that’s Kobus ,” which he gesture towards the right. Then, Sherrod introduced himself too: “And I’m Sherrod Collins. Nice to meet you.” “Nice to meet you too, my good man. My name is Funske Gholam, and this silent but deadly elusive dude here is Parthalan Venen.” Answered Funske. “I assume you  have codenames, is that correct? They call Funske ‘Dilemma Domino’ and I am known as ‘Catastrophe’. How about you?” said Parthalan. “Crimson Curse.” Replied Jethro. “Justice, of course.” Sherrod responded. “And I’m known as Trinity.” rejoined Kobus. Parthalan nodded, “Excellent.” He said. And soon, they begin their first mission! In the operation; Parthalan and the other guys are given different assignments. Parthalan will plant the bomb, Jethro and Sherrod will break through the security system while Funske and Kobus are to find the radical terrorists’ weaponry and take them out. However, not everything went exactly as plan. Funske and Kobus took down the weaponry but they are locked inside with the remains. They managed to contact for help: “This is Dilemma Domino and Trinity, we have a conundrum…..We are locked inside for taking down the weaponry of the radical terrorists and now we are stuck. Can anyone respond back? We need help. Please.” Sherrod heard and contacted Parthalan, asking for him to go and rescue them. However; Parthalan didn’t want to go but then, a memory of Nina peering at him with a scolding like expression haunted Parthalan. He stopped in his tracks as Nina’s innocent face was staring at him. Finally, Parthalan gives in and responds back: “This is Catastrophe, hang tight in there you guys. I’m on the way.” And rushed over to break down the doors as he managed to get Funske and Kobus out of there. However while escaping from the island on a boat, Funske pulled out a pen-like object that was the detonator as he exclaims with glee: “Play that ambiance music of death, MISFIT BOYS!!!” He pressed the button and the island explodes! Parthalan smirked with pride, Funske laughs in amazement, Jethro is dazed as well as Sherrod while Kobus looked impressed. 
These guys are the only hope for humanity against the radical terrorists in their world that has gone crazy, these boys may be bold and brave yet beautiful, they are broken on the inside: As part of this squad; Parthalan is a calm fellow but on these missions, he’s trying to make a scene out of himself as he is masking himself before firing away at this enemies with guns.  If he could be more natural, then maybe he wouldn’t come off as mysterious. And maybe people would get to know him even more. He has changed a lot since he was a kid, he’s always cold and stoic demeanor to him. Though, there are rumors where Parthalan is said to be a kind hearted fellow but he is one complicated fellow. He doesn’t show much of emotions as he keeps them reined while fighting in these missions. But nobody knows why he’s so mysterious, his squad notices the ruthlessness he has as he is different from human. People are suppose to expression emotions but Parthalan is a different kind of guy, he’s just an honest person too and is being who he truly is. He is making a promise of vengeance for his sister. In more of these missions; he comes over to his enemies stealthily and nobody notices. He’s dark and cool minded while his motives are shocking where he knocks out someone and then kills them. Even if people like the rest of these guys could see what a powerful, abnormal guy he is, he’s just different. However, when he’s alone Parthalan thinks of his deceased sister. Her long blonde hair, her sparkling baby blue eyes, and her blue clothing. “Sister, you are wondering who will be the substitute for you to accompany me and share my burdens when you were gone. There is nothing to replace you, Nina. If something should happen to me on this mission, it’ll affect all of us. In this dangerous situation, do you think I can make it without you? If you could follow me, would you go wherever I go despite all the hardships? But for some reason, it wasn’t meant to be. You can’t follow me now down this path.” He thought. Parthalan he wants her back so much however he can’t because Nina is dead. He would want to call out to her, he’s addicted to see his sister once again and she is the only reason he’s alive! Parthalan thinks about the most about the one person he cared for the most. For Funske, he is night from someone’s day side. He’s a few pegs down the social ladder as he acts like he’s all proper but he isn’t. People would like him, but were worried about what others would think of him. Funske was a different guy who was an elusive guy when it came to dealing with people. People judge him for being different and reject him; they think they are better than him and decided he isn’t good enough in this crazy town of Saylor Lake. These people are big headed, thinking they were better than others however some people need to stop being so full of it! Years into now, these people have lives that turned out to be right for them. But they come across Funske, who is know successful than them and could see he is much more socially desirable. Now look at him—he’s much more advance. But these people lost their chance on having him on their side him, they lost their opportunity as he found something more with these other strangers: Parthalan, Jethro, Sherrod, and Kobus. They miss their chance, they had thought he wasn’t worth anything but now he’s on a higher position. He is much more than beauty of the beholder or anything; he’s got people besides these allies to see him for his skills. Being part of this new employment; he seems to like it a lot but he can’t think of what makes him like doing this that makes him bloodlust and get his attention for, he tries to think it might be how exciting it is. Funske never felt a passion quite like this, and he never felt this excited before. Leaves him tossing and turning, he can’t explain himself but this whole thing has his full attention and focus. This profession as a guy killing criminals and other bad people in a mad world makes him like he’s in love with it. He wouldn’t want it to be wasted all the time and energy to keep doing this! In his perspective view; Funske was growing up in his younger years and he was young as he didn’t see life the way it was for being in a dark time for him. He tries to see good parts in it and he used to life in a good light but with all this terror, now he doesn’t. He isn’t a little guy anymore but rather a young man and thinks he needs more experience. Funske has passed over the phase when he was told what he wasn’t and now he thinks for himself so he has to see life with his own vision. Even though he embraces his dark self through the mischievous, charming exterior; he is still himself and he’s looking out for himself and will find his way. He is unsure of what he is anymore and he doesn’t know much about himself yet so he needs time. Yet, he’s confident to overcome what is in his way. He’s not the scared little boy anymore, he leaves behind the scared boy he was one once upon a time and ready to be a man—a soldier in this mad world of life. Jethro had it different than the other guys: He is going through dark times in this matters where he wants to find something out of this life and is desperate that he doesn’t care what it might be. He believes he’s alone and nobody wants him, the world around him is cold on the outside and he feels lonely. He wants to trust someone so he can put his trust in them. Maybe he wants this person to prove to him that he’s something special and someone cares about him. He wants somebody to come help him in these miserable times and leave wherever he is. Whoever it was, he can relate to them. Jethro is searching for someone who’s lonely like he is, maybe to confide or connect with. He wants someone to relate to. Looking out for someone who has the same things as he does. He feels like something isn’t right, things are a mess and he feels like he’s unloved. The world is a confusing place, so cruel and he thinks he’s going crazy. He feels like a little boy again but different, he wants someone to make him feel safe as he wants to keep that person safe. He could care less on whom they are but he just wants to be treated good with them. Jethro likes the life he has no but it seems he’s mostly unsure if things will be all right, considering what went on with his aunt and her horrendous life. He’s trying to convince himself that things will be OK however he thinks it could be tainted enough. He never wanted to be quiet and aloof, honestly he doesn’t realize why though. He knows that if he wants people to know him, he should start trusting them to know what it’s like for him. For some reason, Jethro needs more time to get to know people a little bit more. He wants to trust people but he would like to know if people out there would trust him in exchange! But in that moment, he feels like people like him but then he doesn’t believe so and is unsure so as the thoughts in his mind are trying to convince him however he doesn’t believe it. He would want people to tell him on what he thinks but he knows he can’t. That isn’t how life works; he wishes he could hear it straight from them. If they really think he’s a great person, he should know and not be the last. Because if everyone else is aware of him, he wouldn’t be the only one who doesn’t realize this revelation. He suspects and would like to know if anyone feels something about him: Good, bad perhaps? He just wants people to be honest with him. His persona for others is seen as a mysteric aura that becomes stronger when silent, like he’s deep in thought. People believe he’s emotionless as he seems to be but deep down there’s something else going on. As for Sherrod, since he moved away from his mean cousin and cruel uncle; he hates moving to a new place as he says goodbye to his old friends and turned around as he journeys onto the life that waits for him. He wants to be real with others and let go of being like everyone else. And not pretend to be part of a different life that’s not his. For some reason, he wants to be weird. When he’s lying in bed, he’s laughing to himself softly to sleep. The adrenaline rush he wants when doing these dangerous missions with these guys, he wants these kinds of things to make him feel alive. It’s boring to do what others want him to do, Sherrod wants to do things to the extreme and maybe let someone push him to the limit to make him feel alive. He knows that whatever he does, he doesn’t think and that’s exactly what Justice—his split persona—wants him to break out of his nice guy act and be different. Though he wonders if dying or breathing is enough to be out of the ordinary for he never want to be like everyone else and he’d rather be individual and to be considered an odd guy. He doesn’t believe his life is so typical and feels lonely inside. He doesn’t want to be seen as perfect however he has to act like he’s suppose to be a nice guy when he struggles on his issues. People love him for what he is, everyone thinks he’s so lucky to be rich but nobody knows what goes on with him inside. His life is considered to be perfect however it really isn’t. Even people see him as the happiest person in the world, but riches don’t bring happiness for all the solitude within. His success in life deceived him into believing he’s living in a great life but through the illusion that people see, they don’t know that he’s a victim to life’s discontent. Sherrod keeps on being successful and climbing up the social ladder. But he wonders what would happen if they didn’t want him in their lives anymore. He was deprived from the world while being sheltered of how cruel life was after leaving his uncle and cousin. He didn’t feel like himself as he was trying to maintain his split personality ego and this has robbed him up until this point. Sherrod has changed drastically as he’s choosing what he wants and there’s no turning back. He was also prevented from understanding his own actions of what he wants and who he was. He know he shouldn’t but Sherrod wants to make mistakes and figure things out on his own that feel restricted by authorities his whole life. He has optimistic sides and negatives too, his negatives spoke of hopelessness and clueless while the other is assuring him that he will find his own way around life.  He begins to question others on his values and what he’s been taught. He now no longer trusts on what people have told him so he’s deciding for himself on what he believes in. Folks think he’s being distant and avoiding them but Sherrod feels constricted and he can’t help but wanting to be free sometimes. Sherrod has decided the time is now and leaves behind what he always known while he takes courage too. People tell him how he should be through his life but he doesn’t feel the image he’s presenting is actually what he’s like though and pretty much wants to be truly be who he wants to do now. And lastly and best of all is Kobus; all his life, people are trying to take control of him, make him seem like a fool but he knows he’s not. Trying to make decisions for him however Kobus has grown tired of it as he doesn’t think he’s a property to anyone. People like his mother, his ex girlfriend who cheated on him and his cruel teacher think that he’s underrated and won’t give him any freedom however he is amazed on how determined with himself that he’s become since that dream with the strange man from his dreams. He’s ready to take life into his own hands. People didn’t take him too serious, they think he’s just young and trying to enjoy life but honestly, he’s ready to build his life ahead and leaving behind the life he once had. People thought he could not make a choice in his life. Now he’s ready to be a full in control of himself. No one is there to neither pressurize him nor influence him! Kobus has more experience, he is following his own path. He’ll have more control and stand on his own two feet for he’s stronger than before. Back in his room, Parthalan is still haunted by the memory of his sister, smiling at him and she looked radiant in blue. His thoughts rambled through his mind of Nina again: “Nina, will you be my guardian angel? To protect me if you are no longer with me physically, possibly for your murder? I know you can’t be with me because you and I are apart from one another. I wish for your guidance and your sweet words, so we can get through this together. If you were brave or strong like me, if you had the opportunity to, you would still be with me. If you could follow me around wherever I may go, then you would wouldn’t you? You can’t because you don’t have the opportunity to do so. Yes, I am running for the sake of you with my heart, my hope, and I know you might never come back to me! Even so, I love you sister. I love you so much that you’ve become part of my life. With you gone, I learnt that I need to learn to move on but you will stay with me forever won’t you, Nina? If you weren’t murdered, would you rewrite what would happen so you could follow me no matter where I go and protect me from harm? If we’d stay together, you would follow me wherever I will go. I am done with this fear, Nina. I may not be strong enough to let this past me but I will look forward ahead against Korvin. This pain doesn’t matter to me anymore and life will go on. I am accepting this salvation; I’m going to put tall my fears behind me.” 
As a young lady; Lacey possesses a mysterious yet innocent look, she has black hair and with no bangs. She's 168 cm tall and she weighs 42 kg. In her own view; Lacey feels like she is infected with the people around her and the setting she is in, she wants to leave and live without all of the disruption. Lacey is empty inside as she wants to be like people in reality. She feels like there is no support from family or friends in her time of need, she wants somebody to help and go through a troubling time in her life. When crying or in a state of anxiety, most people feel like they’re unable to breathe properly which is what she's going through right now. People will say that the state she’s in now will blow over shortly, but to her it’s more than that. She’s allowed to ask for help, she then recalled what her master once told her: "No matter what mistakes people do you got to remember that we are only humans and are not perfect." She knows that however she is traumatized by the branding on her skin and how she hates being touched by others around the area at her side. While on her walk; she comes across a boy where he was lying on the grass and looking up at the blue sky. But the boy said, "There's a storm coming, it's going to sweep things in its path." Lacey looked up and saw that the beautiful sky's yonder blue was now a dark purple. When Lacey turned back to the boy, she saw that he was already gone! So she decides to head back. As she walked back; Lacey looked up and saw that the hurricane while she was determined to get home soon. She regrets on going on this walk, it was a bad idea and she wish she stayed home. She wished that it passed or washes 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. Lacey managed to dodge every flying object and nearly went flying, it was so strong but she made it back home safe. However, she was horrified to discover that her house has been capsized and she managed to get in the house where she found that her adoptive parents were nowhere in sight. Lacey begin to panic a little bit, she cried quietly; fearing that her adoptive parents could be dead. The next minute afterwards, Poor Lacey was sitting near the mailbox, thinking about if her parents possibly got caught in the storm and possibly died but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. Then, she felt a shadow upon her and saw the boy. "What are you doing here?" Lacey demanded. "I came to help you." The boy replied. “I don’t need your help! Get away from me!” shouted Lacey, she was about to run but the boy stopped her, “I’m not pitying you...But I will say your adoptive family is still alive.” He said. Lacey didn’t believe him and ran away but for some reason, the storm had stopped and Lacey comes across a wacky studio. The studio is called Lucid Sky Diamonds where a show is called Strawberry Fields that is produced by Desmas Jones and his wife, Molfrid, with their son Junior to star as the protagonist of Strawberry Fields. As she was walking around this studio; Lacey saw a young fanatic woman name Eleanor Rigby trying to find her superstar name Miniver Cheevy and follows her as she might get herself into trouble. Eleanor always calls herself ‘The Biggest Fan’ and always says the world ‘please’ in each sentence she speaks with! Eleanor also calls Miniver Cheevy ‘Her Majesty’. Lacey watches as Eleanor gets herself into trouble where she tries every scheme to get past the guards and getting her chance to meet Eleanor but ultimately fails, Lacey found a tarot card that resembles Eleanor as it says ‘The Fool’. Lacey bump into a thug boss and his idiotic lackeys, the boss is named Bongo Bill Sherman while his lackeys are David and Mark. They are always slapping one another around for being an idiot and it’s a constant frustration but luckily, she finds a second tarot card titled ‘The Hierophant’. Lacey come upon a surfer guitarist who talks nonsense who is known as Jojo so Lacey gets tired of listening to him and leaves however she discovers a third tarot card—The Chariot.  Lacey runs into two sisters who are idiotic hillbillies name Rose and Valerie that enjoyed hitting one another and Lacey finds another tarot card that reads ‘The Lovers’ which disgusts her; she also meets a dysfunctional class who tells their substitute on doing these crazy stunts that their teacher wouldn’t normally do.

Lacey encounters three children: Rocky Racoon, Daniel Boyd, and Nancy McGill have exciting these that involved with different types of food or items that Lacey finds disturbing. She meets a daughter name Vera and her father Mckenzie where they own a fast food with different foods but with gross things in it. In the process, Lacey discovers a tarot card titled: Wheel of Fortune. Two workers, Charles and David, who have the wrong DVDs at a store and not the right one, these DVDs are parody titles! A woman hosting a show about crazy people and has a long title in the works of calling this woman’s hotline but her show is always interrupted when the crazy people invade her show and chases her away. Lacey manage to get away before trouble arises however she finds three other cards such  as Temperance, The Devil, The Tower, and The Moon as she meanders into the Flora Sorority, where it is all lead by Lady Madonna and her girls: Sally, Mary Jane, Doris, Pamela ‘Pam’, Anna, Rita, Michelle, Clarabella, and Sadie. Lacey could see Lady Madonna believes to be popular when she really isn’t it. Some of her friends are tough girls who get violent and force the victims’ heads down the toilet water. Some are somehow not in the right mind, and others claim to be ‘foreign exchange’ from not so ethical countries. The Flora Sorority tries to force Lacey’s head in the toilet but she fights back and finds a tarot card in here that reads ‘The High Priestess’. Lacey then meets a girl in a hot tub name Vera as she claims of seeing famous people but she doesn’t seem all that right in the head. Lacey moves on and has a chance on a woman name Mademoiselle Kitty as she seemed nice but then, she makes horribly cruel prank phone calls to her cranky neighbor name Mr. Mustard that she calls ‘The Fool’ as she takes great amusement in. And her neighbor has no idea that it is her because she always refers to herself in these prank calls ‘Acid Queen’. Making him do what he wants and he reluctantly does so, he shouts at the ‘Acid Queen’ while Kitty makes faces at him as a way to ridicule her neighbor before he hangs up.

After finding a tarot card known as Death; Lacey went to the courthouse where there is a judge name Judge Marvel who is mistreating the adults and she is nice to the kids no matter how obnoxious they are! Marvel’s guard by the name of Dennis O’Dell is allowed to physically harm the adults and they are sentenced to a horrendous fate. Judge Marvel doesn’t care as she then ends the trial and leaves while a celebration goes on but she finds two cards called The Hanged Man and Judgment. Lacey walks away when she thinks that here in the studio of Lucid Sky Diamonds doesn’t make any sense to her when she comes across Eleanor again, who is going to see the King and Queen of Marigold to ask for their help. But the two of them are at a party with the Duke of Kircaldy and his wife, the Duchess of Kircaldy! Lacey finds three cards: The Emperor, the Empress, and the Star. The King and Queen of Marigold, the Duke of Kircaldy and the Duchess of Kircaldy were angry when Eleanor Rigby interrupted their party as they want to take her as prisoner but Lacey stepped in and all the people she encountered with chase after her! However, Lacey destory the studio and took down the cast members, ruining the shows. 
That night from that crazy day; Lacey meets a hooded figure and buys him a drink as she tries to make a little conversation with him but to no avail. Lacey was angry as she was trying to do good for others and now she was going to punch the hood until the hood caught her fist in his hand. He knows who Lacey is, Lacey tries to find out who the masked figure is but he releases his grip on her fist and leaves. Lacey follows him however she lost sight of him! Then, Lacey was shocked to discover undead monsters, zombie! They growled with such ravenous hunger. Lacey shudder in fear, she has a phobia to zombies! Just then, a strange boy who came to Lacey’s rescue, this young man was Jethro. Lacey noticed that his hand was bleeding, he try to assure her that he was fine but Lacey insists for she wanted to check. She looked at the hand for any cuts he might have but his entire arm turned red, it then became like mangled flesh. Lacey gasped, she points at it as she said: “Whoa, that’s freaky but cool.” Jethro was nervous, he was afraid she would run off screaming but she didn’t. She was fascinated by it. Once the arm returned to normal; Lacey introduced herself to Jethro as she reassured him, “Don’t worry. I’m good with weird.” Jethro smiled a little, “Thanks.” He said. He sure was relieved. However it got stranger when she was investigating on a case involved with someone by the name of Kobus Kiddo, a ‘savior’ among teenagers as he helps them out. It was then on the rooftop where she encounters the legendary Kobus Kiddo, she could not believe it was him! But Kobus Kiddo turned on his heel and sprinted so Lacey climbed the ladder as she chased him, “He’s fast!” She noticed. However, Lacey won’t stop until she catches up with him. She won’t let him escape from her; she then slipped and fell from the rooftop. Lacey screamed for dear life as she was about to glide up when Kobus Kiddo swooped down and rescued her. “He….he… saved my life? But why?” thought Lacey. Kobus Kiddo placed her down on the ground as he went away. Later on while she took a walk around the neighborhood she used to live; Lacey noticed that a young man was lying in the white particles of snow. That boy followed her and became protective to her. Lacey didn’t mind but she discovers this young man’s name and it was Funske Gholam! Meanwhile; Lacey meets a young man by the name of Sherrod Collins, he seemed so beautiful and nice. A while later, Lacey was doing paperwork when she was interrupted by more Lizard Beasts until Kobus Kiddo took them out as he unmasked himself to be some attractive, yet friendly person. Afterwards, Ruby sat at the long table where she watched the Kobus, Lacey begins to have faith in Kobus and believe his purpose is not threatening to society. While investigating on the guys she encountered with; Lacey then learns the stories about each of these boys from an inexplicable girl in a hooded jacket name Edith: From Amerik Metropolis; Hand in hand, brother and sister were in front of their new home of the Korvin Manor run by Mrs. Valentine Korvin herself. The sister is Nina Venen and her little brother was Parthalan. Their father went missing and their mother died in a car crash so now they are orphans. They have no relatives, no grandparents, no uncles, aunts or cousins—nobody. Thankfully; Nina managed to contact Mrs. Korvin and told her the situation, Mrs. Korvin was gracious enough to let the siblings stay at her manor. But they weren’t the only orphans staying there: There were boys about Parthalan’s age. Their names are Lysander, Nico, and Eric. While he was exploring, Parthalan meets a red haired boy. “I’m Lysander, what’s your name?” asked the boy with the red hair. “Parthalan.” Replied Young Parthalan. “Cool name. Boy, am I glad you’re here with us. It gets really creepy around here alone at night.” Said Lysander. “What do you mean by that?” asked Parthalan. “Well, I don’t know if this is true or not but there are rumors that say there’s some murders going around here.” Whispered Lysander. “At night, just like this one orphan boy that went missing. He left for one minute and never came back, the police found the boy’s body and said his body was cut apart by a ‘monster’, scary isn’t it?” Indeed that scared Parthalan but for a different reason: He didn’t want his sister Nina to be involved in this madness. He may have been the younger brother but he was very protective of his sister. In the morning, the orphans went to see an exhibit of bugs at a museum where they met a kindhearted professor where he demonstrates on these kinds of insects called cicada. Immediately, Parthalan took noticed of this critter and was amazed by the sight as well as the facts where the cicada show no interest on pestering humans and only eat wood from the ground. “Would anyone like to hold it?” asked the professor. The three boys shrank back in fear but Parthalan didn’t. “I will.” He said. He held the insect cicada in his hand and smiled. “My Jove! I never seen a cicada act this way. I see you show no fear towards it.” Remarked the professor. “Insects don’t bother me, I love them.” Replied Parthalan, he let the insect crawl his arm. He saw the cicada flew a little and went up Parthalan’s wrist down to his hand. Nina smiled, “My brother has a soft spot for bugs.” She explained briefly. “I can see that, they are part of life my dear.” Said the professor. Parthalan seem to have a connection with this cicada and for some reason, he knew what it was feeling. Once that was over, the orphans went home and went through the daily rountine of eat and sleep when it was time for bed. However, things would change on this particular night. Parthalan woke up in the middle of the night and went to get a drink of water. As he was doing so, he heard a bang and a body fell to the ground—all bloodied and not moving. Parthalan jumped and approached it with caution. He turned the body around and was shocked to see it was that nice professor from before! He rushed back to his room where he shook Nina and whispered, “Nina! Nina, wake up!” Nina roused from her slumber and saw her brother was scared. “Parthalan, what’s the matter?” She asked softly. “Sis, I saw him! The professor! He was dead!” claimed Parthalan quietly. “Oh Brother, you must have been dreaming.” Nina replied gently. “No, I wasn’t!” Parthalan muttered to her, “I just woke up from a bad dream and wanted to get some water. I heard a noise and—Bloody, the body, oh sis!” Parthalan whispered. He begins to wept as Nina hugged him, soothing his fears. In the morning, the police was at the Korvin Manor as the policemen talk to Parthalan, much dismay and anger by Mrs. Korvin. “How could you disobey my orders of going downstairs and wandering about?” scolded Mrs. Korvin. “Do I have to repeat myself? I wasn’t wandering; I woke up from a bad dream and wanted to get some water. I heard a noise and there was a body that plopped to the ground. I approached it cautiously and saw it was the professor who was in charge of the cicada bugs.” Said Parthalan. “Did you see anyone else?” asked the policeman. “No Officer, I was so scared that I went back to my sister and woke her up to tell her what I saw.” Explained Parthalan. Later, he was about to go to bed and saw the others weren’t in their beds as he went around to find them, exclaiming for their names but no luck. “Lysander? Nico? Eric?” called Parthalan. Nobody answered. “C’mon you guys, this isn’t funny! Come on out!” Parthalan said. Just then, he heard a boy’s scream! He knew who it was! “Lysander!” exclaimed Parthalan. He ran to the direction of where the scream was coming from! It came from the bathroom. By the time he got there, the screaming had stopped. Parthalan walked to the bathroom to wash his hands but recoiled in fear when he saw blood and maggots coming out of there. He turned it off and approaches the shower, pulling back the curtains. There he found a horrifying discovery—a dead boy! It looked like he was tied up and hung by his wrist, stabbed multiple times. “Lysander?” stammered Parthalan. Then, a knife cut the dead boy’s body apart and a masked figure try to attack Parthalan! Parthalan dodged it and escaped with ease however he was scared and would not stop running until that masked murdering figure would not find him or chase him. He ran, and ran until he felt like his lungs would burst. He stopped finally to catch his breath and walked a little but Parthalan looked out the window and saw a figure falling out the window, he could not believe it. “Nico!” He bellowed as he rushed down and got outside to see Nico frantically waving in the water. “Glub—Glub—Parthalan! Help—glub glub—me!!!” sputtered Nico. He stopped waving and drowned in front of a shell shock Parthalan however something else had emerged from the pool, it was that masked figure again! He begins to chase Parthalan, who was already running away. However, he managed to find Nina who was exploring around and shows him what she discovered. “Nina, what did you find?” asked Parthalan. Nina pointed down, “Dad.” She simply said. There was a skeleton on the floor and had a name on him that said ‘Parthalan Venen Sr.’ on its tag. The siblings read his journal and found out that he went missing for he was a prisoner in the manor by the cruel mistress Valentine Korvin and her two deformed children! His death was caused by beaten to death and starved for days. Nina took the skeletal corpse in her arms and cradle it, “Oh Papa.” She sobbed. Parthalan patted the bleach white skull of the man once known as his father. “Dad, what happened here? What’s going on here?” He thought. Further into the house, the siblings discovered the mutilated bodies of animals such as crows, dogs, and cats—even deer and rabbits too! There was one body that looked human,  Parthalan was horrified to discover that this was none other than Eric! “Oh no, Eric.” He gasped. During this time, he was looking around and turned to find his sister was nowhere in sight. He found a secret passage way that lead to the cave and he went in where Parthalan found his sister tied to the ground and released her from her bounds. The two managed to get out of the cave until the masked figure appeared, chasing them! He pulled out a gun and shot Nina in the back. “NOO, NINAAAAAA!!!!” shouted Parthalan. Poor Nina was dying as she managed to speak her last words to her little brother: “Parthalan, I—please, stop her! Stop Mrs. Korvin and her children! They are the ones responsible for the murders. Save yourself, goodbye Parthalan…” And died. Parthalan try to scream out her name but it was hopeless, she was dead. Parthalan managed to get to the lab and hide from the murderer. Hiding in the lab alone; Parthalan was crying like a baby over the death of his sister until he heard a buzzing sound beckoning to him—the insects cicada were trying to communicate with him telepathically! Parthalan then freed the bugs as he learns that he can control them! He faced the masked killer—whose name is Ross—and he uses the cicada to take Ross down while killing him too. However, this was short lived when an enraged Mrs. Korvin nearly killed Parthalan with an ax however he dodged her as Korvin panted and her hair was a mess as well as her eyes were red. “You stupid boy!!! That masked murderer was just deformed, imperfect but still he….he…He was my son and you killed him! You are nothing more than a disease in this manor! A catastrophe to us all! To me, you Parthalan are just as your father!” screamed Mrs. Korvin. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. However, the silence broke when Young Parthalan begin to chuckle, and then he laughed a maniacal laugh. “Catastrophe huh. Fine, from this point on, I will use that codename. I will train myself to get stronger and I’ll return to come and find you Valentine Korvin! Just you wait!” vowed Parthalan, he then disappeared. Mrs. Korvin watched him go and muttered, “I’ll be waiting for you—Parthalan! I’ll have my revenge too!” Looking over the city from high above, Parthalan thought about how he will use the cicada to avenge for Lysander, Nico, and Eric. Even for you, sister. I will eliminate all monsters in my path.” Claimed Parthalan, “I promise you Nina….REVENGE!”  There is a curse of Millhaven amongst the people is what happened to Funske when he was a child. He was an orphan just like Parthalan but this couple was nicer and not so malevolent. Funske noticed there was a lot of crimes and murders going on in this crazy town. It turns out in Millhaven is where an evil girl by the name of Loretta Martin, friends call her ‘Lottie’ where nobody knows how much of sociopath she is. However, Lottie went over to where Funske was and she killed his adoptive parents as well as the other orphans, shocking Funske who faced off against Lottie and lured her to the beach as he knocks her out. Tied her up and push her down into the ocean but not before taking her gun and killing her. He also disposes the weapon as well as held a cremation for the ones he lost on that day and decided to do good for others. So far, no one has seen or heard of Lottie again and this won’t be the last time. The town called Helpless Dancer had a miserable boy. Bitter heartened boy, that’s exactly what describes Jethro Starling. He was taken in by his absurdly youthful aunt name Ms. Terri. Terri has been through hardships of abuse: There was that unspeakable maltreatments from her perverted grandfather, her mother blames her for nothing—thinking it was Terri’s fault, her father was a drunkard, her brothers aren’t so supportive, and her boyfriend is an unstable, psychotic fellow that wasn’t too good to sweet, loving Terri. Jethro was nothing more than a selfish and seemingly apathetic boy that believes his aunt was privileged, he begins to have lustful dreams about pretty girls and bloody violence. He was into scars as he found a fetish in them. He finds scars ‘beautiful’ although the story behind them isn’t so pretty! There was one girl who had a good heart and saw his soul for what he is inside. Her name was Jolene Parton, she apparently showed concern and caring for Jethro, Jolene may have a crush on him because it was a loner and quiet guy but cute, eccentric. Jethro was into dissecting dead animals, dreams of gory mad scientist-esque nightmares that he finds appealing, and he fanatises about more pretty girls, open heart surgeries, and other violent things. Then, Jethro grew a heart for his aunt after learning that Terri was pregnant with her psychotic boyfriend’s child and help his aunt however one night when he was out for errands, Jethro found a meaty-mass in an alley that came to life and got on Jethro’s right arm where it became a manifest and was a blood-red, mangled flesh on him that would soon be of help to Jethro! One night, Aunt Terri never got to the hospital as her water broke! Jethro helps her aunt give birth to a beautiful baby boy look just like Terri. Terri cried, overwhelmed with joy and named her son Victor. Using his red right hand; Jethro stopped the bleeding and cut the umbilical cord. Terri was surprised as the relationship between him and his aunt was mended. But the father was not around and Jethro was protective over his newborn cousin who grew up to be a young boy. And Jethro was becoming like a mentor to Cousin Victor however it wasn’t long until Terri dated somebody else—a black male name Earl who was an abusive, mean man that soon beat Terri. Once again, Terri was pregnant with Earl’s twin daughters and gave birth to the twins by the names of Delia and Gwen. But Earl’s sisters made no hesitation to make Terri’s life miserable on her social media page where they wrote nasty things about her for her to see as well as insult her by calling her a ‘harlot’. The last straw was when Jethro came home to find Earl beating Terri—in front of the kids! Angered by this sight; Jethro’s right arm became mangled flesh and Jethro charged in as he brought down Earl with one slam to the ground. Jethro was mad as he glared down at Earl with viciousness in his eyes. “You son of a bitch! Who do you think you are doing this to me?” demanded Earl. “I am your curse filled with crimson of your blood. The next time you do this to my aunt, I will take you down and break your skull open, do you understand?! Don’t you ever lay a hand on my aunt in front of her children!” growled Jethro. Earl was terrified, Terri was amazed and her children were frozen with fear. After Earl left; Jethro treated his aunt’s bruises and cuts as he comforted Victor, Delia, and Gwen. The three of them were crying, they seemed so scared as Jethro vows to protect them all! At the same time, Jethro met a boy his age by the name of Sherrod Collins. Sherrod was a nice, sweet, and gentleman who never like violence however he had a split personality name Justice. This split personality was created in Sherrod’s mind after Sherrod suffered a terrible memory of his father’s murder by Sherrod’s mother, who learnt her husband was having an affair. In his life, Sherrod was abused by his mean old uncle and his bullying cousin. His mother’s crime, his uncle’s mistreatment and his cousin’s aggravation had caused Sherrod to create a split persona that fought back against his uncle and cousin, where they fear him now. Together, Jethro and Sherrod became a duo pair of friends to fight for justice under codenames. Sherrod uses ‘Justice’ while Jethro uses the name ‘Crimson Curse’ for he was the tall, handsome man in a dusty jacket with the red right hand! On the other side of town was Saylor Lake where a young boy name Kobus Kiddo that went through his adolescent years of dealing with a cruel teacher, a smothering yet over protective mother who thought she knew better, and a girlfriend name Fiona that cheated on him with infidelity of other loves. Kobus grew up without a father as he was the scapegoat and an only child however he found happiness when he met a girl by the name of Susie who became the love of his life until she was killed by radical terrorists while she was riding in a hot air balloon. This caused Kobus to become heartbroken, the love of his life was taken from him forever. One day, he went through depression and fell asleep where he entered a dreamland where he meets a magic man by the name of Barry Saturday, who convinces him to leave the boundaries of his ordinary life. It wasn’t until Kobus was on trial where the unbearable testimonies against him from others such as his teacher, his mother, and Fiona. His teacher admonishes him for lacking any potential; his mother just wants to keep him sheltered from the world, while Fiona calls out on Kobus for being an idiot for not suspecting of her unfaithfulness. Barry then took down the walls of Kobus’s comfort zone with a sledgehammer as Kobus awoke from the dream world where he decides to make changes to his life as he humiliates his former lover and shames her for her wicked betrayal against her other lovers. Thanking all three that inspired him even though he shouldn’t because they did him wrong but they taught him to not let others pin him down or tell him what’s wrong or right. Thus, Kobus gained the codename ‘Trinity’! They are the only hope in this world gone crazy; they are the five elite agents who are known as ‘Misfit Boys’. There will be a day when these guys will save the world; these boys will shake the foundations of the terrorists’ radicalization and bloodshed as they will change the course of history—if they can survive! Never underestimate them; they are so desperate they’ll battle even if it means fortifying their lives. Those who lay eyes on these guys won’t be allow to live! Parthalan Venen— prepared for mêlée! He ambles the route of a soldier; he is between ardor and odium. When it comes to his emotions, he has no idea what is wrong with him. Funske Gholam—to his enemies, their dilemma has drop like a domino! He’ll find a way to salvage lives or convey all with him alive. Anyone who be drawn against him will have a rendezvous with a astringent demise. Jethro Starling—stoic nearly to an omission. He concludes tasks with callous fulfillment, he will rectify the errors of his enemy’s weakness. Sherrod Collins—while well-bred and scrupulous; he is a chief of a guy that won’t be taken frivolously.  Last of all, Kobus Kiddo— an additional worthy lineage of soldiers. He is viewed as a assiduous man with veracity. 
After looking at the picture of Parthalan; Lacey recalls on how she comes across a boy where he was lying on the grass and looking up at the blue sky. But the boy said, "There's a storm coming, it's going to sweep things in its path." Lacey looked up and saw that the beautiful sky's yonder blue was now a dark purple. When Lacey turned back to the boy, she saw that he was already gone! So she decides to head back. As she walked back; Lacey looked up and saw that the hurricane while she was determined to get home soon. She regrets on going on this walk, it was a bad idea and she wish she stayed home. She wished that it passed or washes 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. Dominique managed to dodge every flying object and nearly went flying, it was so strong but she made it back home safe. However, she was horrified to discover that her house has been capsized and she managed to get in the house where she found that her adoptive parents were nowhere in sight. Dominique begin to panic a little bit, she cried quietly; fearing that her adoptive parents could be dead. The next minute afterwards, Poor Dominique was sitting near the mailbox, thinking about if her parents possibly got caught in the storm and possibly died but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. Then, she felt a shadow upon her and saw the boy. "What are you doing here?" Dominique demanded. "I came to help you." The boy said. She recalled his monotone voice, his eyes, and how he was concealed so much as he doesn’t want to meet them. Dominique remembers the hooded jacket Parthalan has as it looks very much familiar: Lacey meets a hooded figure and buys him a drink as she tries to make a little conversation with him but to no avail. Lacey was angry as she was trying to do good for others and now she was going to punch the hood until the hood caught her fist in his hand. He knows who Dominique is, Dominique tries to find out who the masked figure is but he releases his grip on her fist and leaves. Lacey follows him however she lost sight of him! Shocked by this revelation; Dominique was in a daze where she came across a wannabe singer who tries to convince other people that he is a rockstar, which made people look at this geek in disbelief and looked at this weirdo with a strange look. Some exchange glances as he tries to sing but his crooning is terrible and everyone boos him. “SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU!!! I AM A ROCKSTAR!!!!” A banana peel was thrown at him as the hobo let out a roar-like wail as some folks laugh at what a loser he is, dressed up in that getup and wig.  Deep in the darkest night as Dominique recalls of stories about some enchantress by the name of Delilah Pandora; Delilah is a slender, buxom young Latina woman with black hair, deep red lips, and a soft expression. Delilah was dressed in blackish red bikini top and bottom; her head was adorned with a feathered headdress crown, and wore a snake wrap bracelet on her upper right arm. She was barefoot but has an anklet on the left as she was very stunning. A sexy, beautiful woman who has a hex for magic and cause people not being able to discern between good and bad! With her slinky, seductive figure; Delilah uses magic spells to entice men before entrapping them in her lair filled with blood thirsty monsters that were in disguise as gorgeous, lusty dancers. Delilah is like magic sticks to a voodoo doll as her stone cold hear expresses her desire to imprisoned, unchangeable male victims as they are forever enticed with Delilah but she was a vampire woman as she is a queen with a dark past. She is a superstition, like black cats. A premonition to make guys fall, a sensational kick in the candlelight, she's every man's addiction on every daily basis at night. Beware Delilah, a seductress of the night. She is a beauty demise. She is an enchanted siren who dances in the moonlight of the unholy hour. However, the succubus queen has her eyes set on a more feminine species to her, Dominique! While sleeping soundly at night, Dominique's bedroom window opened on its own. As she senses the intrusion, Lacey sits up and gasps when she sees Delilah at her bed, looking down at her. "You are magnificent, my sweet." She breathed. Lacey smiles darkly, "Am I the first girl?" She asked. Delilah’s gaze lingers as she continues to speak, "You are not like any other girl I've ever met." Dominique nodded, "I see. I have my boys as entourage as well as girls." She answered. "Pull your hair back, my pretty." Delilah commanded. Dominique obeyed, bears her slender neck as she said, "You think you can intrude in other people's homes with those dark eyes of yours? This is not how I fight." But she falters as Delilah sits on the bed, "I search for someone to be my bystander.....In this blood hunt fight." She purred. Dominique shudders while Delilah runs her pointy nailed finger along the curve of Dominique's throat, "So slender, your skin is so soft and smooth." She said in that sultry tone. She continues to talk until she gently caresses her as she says softly, "Don't fight; I can feel your fight, dear girl." And bend towards her, biting her neck. Dominique gasped, wincing at the pain. She woke up with a start and looked in the mirror to see no bite mark. Sighing with relief; Dominique managed to calm down and went back to sleep but had this where she observed some type of ritual and is very shaken up by it, was her dreams just images of her conscious when she’s asleep? As an outside observer, she witnessed a scary ritual. The shadow demons are sacrificing humans to eternal doom, "Am I awake or am I asleep?" If she is awake, then she has to inform for help. But she learns that she is changing and becomes a shadow witch herself. Lacey is getting ready for bed, when all the candles she lit up are all blown out as the room is now pitch black. Lacey was frightened as she looked around and begins to shiver in the cold. Then, she hears Delilah calling out her name. An image of Delilah hypnotizing her; Lacey slowly walks towards her; she actually walks through the mirror of her room into Delilah's tunnel. Delilah then says in an enticing voice, "I am Delilah, come to me my dear, sweet girl!" Delilah lures Dominique up to her lair in the clock tower. She seduces Dominique with her creation, her voice putting her into a type of trance. She tells her to forget the world and life she knew before. Then, snow begins to fall into the clock tower and Dominique smiles faintly while dully putting her hands out as she waltz around the room. As Dominique dances in the snow as she becomes the ultimate representation of the artist communicating his feelings through his work. Stopping her dance; Lacey looked around the clock tower, eventually pulling back a curtain to reveal a mannequin dressed in a white gown resembling a goddess. When she approaches it, it suddenly moves, causing her to faint. She wakes up in a room filled with clocks. The clocks surrounding the octagonal area also have this symbolism with a point in the center of a circle. Something that looks like gold dust is spread across the room causing Lacey to rub her eyes. The mannequins begin to sing in robotic but melodic harmony as their human-like hands caress her head and face as she changes into an altered state. But it was a dream as she woke up! "Did I sleepwalk? How else did I get here?" Lacey thought. From the top of the clock tower; a figure with a hood hiding his face as he smirked at it, how he tricked Lacey. He chuckles darkly to himself at this deception he had caused. Burgundy Seraph Dojo is where the martial arts class are taught self defense where Lacey was observing this with interest however they were interrupted by a man who was showing two men around, much to the chagrin of the sensei however this man introduces these two as the new owners while he is retiring. Everyone applauded after the man also introduces a young gentleman by the name of Sherrod Collins. Sherrod explained that he and his family own the dojo as well while he expresses great gratitude in them. He apologizes for interrupting as he has an important business to conduct to. After he was gone, a rather pompous show off woman name Avis would like to demonstrate her techniques but she is turned down by the sensei however she looks over at Lacey as she smirked: “Trying to impress her huh? She is nothing more like a spawn; she wouldn’t even try to show interest even if something fell onto her lap!” Avis remarked, she and her gang laughed but Lacey glared at her. Avis wouldn’t be laughing for long for a backdrop was about to crash onto her! Everyone screams, Avis dodged it as she was freaking out by having a primadonna-like fit! “It’s him, The Crimson Curse!” One of the students whispered. Lacey looked at her in confusion. Just then, Avis is angry that nobody is doing anything to prevent them from happening and leaves in a huff! Just then, the female assistant sensei approached with a message from the mysterious Crimson Curse. “Oh for goodness sake! You and the students are obsessed!” complained the main sensei. “He says, ‘I welcome you to my dojo that solely belonged to me and Mr. Collins. I would also like to point out two things—one is that you would keep Lacey Michael safe from harm’.” Said the female sensei. Lacey was startled to heart this, “Me?!” She gasped. The female teacher continues, “And second, his salary is due.” Lacey glances at her, “He has a salary?” She asked. “Why yes, the Grand Master pays him about twenty thousand millions of money a month.” Replied the female sensei. Lacey exclaimed: “Twenty thousand millions of hard money?!” However, Avis plans a hostage and violent betting against Lacey as shewas held in bounds by men who looked bulky and wore masks. Nobody was pleased to see however Avis loved to see Lacey in pain but she was doing is staying calm. From above where nobody suspects, Sherrod was watching this with fear and displeased, a dark silhouette in the shadows expressed his anger: “You’re kidding me right?” He asked. “Nope, they definetly have Lacey down there.” Confirmed Sherrod. “Put me on the microphone, NOW!” demanded the figure. Sherrod hurriedly gave the figure the microphone headset as the figure turned it on and spoke into it as the audience, Scarlet, and the gang were shock to hear a male’s voice booming through the speakers: “DID I NOT INSTRUCT THAT LACEY MICHAEL WERE TO BE KEPT SAFE FROM HARM?!” Everyone gasped! “It’s him, The Crimson Curse!” whispered the female student. “It’s him, I know that’s him!” claimed Lacey. Natasha slaps Lacey. “You are suppose to keep your mouth shut, you little tramp!” scolded Natasha. “You are the hostage of this betting scheme.” She laughs as if this was all amusing to her. “A hostage tramp, m’lady? Perhaps it is you who should become my hostage.” Crimson Curse said, scaring her again but she wasn’t afraid anymore. Avis went on like nothing happened however her joints begin to ache and begin to crack as she reacts with pain and her skin becomes red like a rash! There was a creepy laughter coming from the speakers that petrified everyone in the audience. Avis was trying to continue however she was in a lot of pain. Then, that creepy laugh was louder and more maniacally as Avis cries out for help! From the speakers, it was the Crimson Curse again as he managed to cry out: “BEHOLD! SHE FEELS THE WRATH OF THE CRIMSON CURSE!!!” The people fled in a panic while Lacey escaped the horror they saw! She went to the mysterious woman who told her that she was aware of the Crimson Curse explains that this man with the red right hand wasn’t representing evil but Jethro never considered himself a hero or a villain. There was the mysterious Edith again as she was naturally beautiful with doe eyed that has dark brown pupils, glowing olive tanned skin, and a petite figure to her. She stood there on the stage before singing into the microphone: “♫Steer me, secure me. Compromise to me your finery, ♫ Submerge no longer, never will I renounce you nor avert from authentic radiance. ♫My protector, I will never disdain you. Come in, my leading defender♫.” Once she ended the song on that final belt, the girl smiled as the audience in the club applauded. Sherrod was watching this was surprised, “Can it be? Can it be, Edith Hemming? Eda?” He asked. With a smile; Sherrod stood up and clapped with everyone else as he called out: “Bravo! Bravo!” After the performance; Edith was in her dressing room as she had happy tears coming out of her eyes and she felt so proud of herself. However, a delivery of flowers for her but there was a card and it said: “Hello Beautiful, you sang like an angel tonight.” Edith gasped, she knew who it was! She felt so excited to get this message! Later on, a statuesque woman was walking down to the office as she knocks on the door and opens it. “Master Dion?” A woman asked in that Czech-Russian accent of hers. A middle aged man looked up and said, “Yes Vendula?” The woman name Madame Vendula questioned him, “Do you know anyone by the names of Parthalan? Funske? Jethro? Sherrod? And Kobus?” Master Dion smiled, “Of course, they were my students. I am very well aquatinted with them, why do you ask?” He replied however then he realizes something and he replies with an inquiring smile: “Wait, they’re here?” Madame Vendula responds back with a nod, “They wish to speak to you, sir.” “Splendid, sent them in right away.” Dion answered. Vendula nodded and shut the door. Once she left, Dion use the communication button and he managed to get through the girl name Edith. “Edith, are you there?” Dion asked through the speakers. Once hearing his voice, Edith nodded and responds back, “Yes Master—I mean, stepfather. Is there something you need, Stepfather?” Dion replied back, “I believe your friends from early days are here.” Edith’s face light up every corner that shadows were amongst her face, “They are?” She asked. “Come on over to my office, sweetheart. I’m sure they’ll be happy to see you.” Replied Dion. Edith couldn’t help but squeal a bit. In the meantime; Parthalan and the other four were reunited with their mentor, who greeted them with open arms. 

“Master Dion!” Sherrod said. Master Dion rose up and smiled, “Hello boys, you’ve grown so much. I forgot how little you were.” He greeted. He then realize the others got to know one another however the five never met when they were children. “I can see you all already met now, I’ve trained each of you but I’d never dreamed that you would all meet each other face to face.” Dion remarked. Just then, there was a soft knock as the door opened as Edith peeked out, “Hello?” She asked. She was surprised to see them all turned to her. Sherrod smiled, “Eda!” He said. Edith rejoiced at this sight, “You guys!” She squealed with delight and embraced them happily. “I miss you all so much!” Edith said with bliss. "We miss too, beautiful!" Funske said. Edith smiled, she felt great to see them. In the morning, Parthalan was wandering in the city of Saylor Lake. Funske was in another part of Saylor Lake, by the balcony of the seaside. Jethro was on top of a building of the roof. Sherrod was in downtown and Kobus was on a bench meditating. It wasn’t until a song played that sounded like a tinkering dub-step of the song titled, Anyplace Yearn to a Voyage by the band—Prowess Defender. However, this was a remix version of the original by a music duo, Flock Bond and Noble. The song was only heard by Parthalan and the other four boys: “♫You’re wondering who will be the substitute for you to accompany me and share my burdens when you were gone. There is nothing to replace you. ♫If something should happen to me on this mission, it’ll affect all of us. In this dangerous situation, do you think I can make it without you? If you could follow me, would you go wherever I go despite all the hardships? But for some reason, it wasn’t meant to be. You can’t follow me now down this path. ♫Will you be my guardian angel? ♫To protect me if you are no longer with me physically, possibly for your murder? I know you can’t be with me because you and I are apart from one another. I wish for your guidance and your sweet words, so we can get through this together. If you were brave or strong like me, if you had the opportunity to, you would still be with me. If you could follow me around wherever I may go, then you would wouldn’t you? You can’t because you don’t have the opportunity to do so. ♫Yes, I am running for the sake of you with my heart, my hope, and I know you might never come back to me! Even so, I love you sister. I love you so much that you’ve become part of my life. ♫With you gone, I learnt that I need to learn to move on but you will stay with me forever won’t you? ♫Would you rewrite what would happen so you could follow me no matter where I go and protect me from harm? If we’d stay together, you would follow me wherever I will go?♫” And the song ends. “That song…I know it…” Parthalan muttered to himself, he recalls that song when he listen to it with his sister, Nina. Young Parthalan lied there on Nina’s lap as she was singing to him to sleep and Parthalan drifted to sleep. In the present; Parthalan looked out there: “Nina, are you out there?” He thought.
