Chapter 6: From a Whisper to a Scream 

Alliance between the House of Meeks and House of Ingerson must be cemented by marriage. On one hand: The House of Meeks: Josiah Meeks is the highest rank and the head of the Meeks family. He is a dictator who strongly believes in the concept of the survival of the fittest and hence strives to create a system in which only the strong will survive and the weak will perish. Daniel is crude and often offensive. He has inferiority complex because of his brother, Christopher and is planning to defeat him one day. And the devil himself is Christopher Meeks is a calm and intelligent man. He is very cruel and a monster because he is merciless even to his own family. He will retaliate anyone who is against the Meeks Family. His ambition is to exterminate and destroy in order to have the world under the control of the House of Meeks. And then, there was the daughter name Kyla is the heir of the Meeks family. The most powerful clan is totally screwed up. The Order of the Meeks Family used to control to practically controlling the others and the government, the Family engages in slave buying and kidnapping, media manipulation, extrajudicial killings, slavery, large-scale horrific experimentation on children and adults alike. The family is essentially worshiped like living gods within the Order, which has tremendous power over the society. Hell, a massacre in a school administered by the family occurred in broad daylight and was subsequently covered up completely, with no police or media investigation occurring at all. It condones and encourages supremacism, discrimination, eugenics, social Darwinism and unethical human experimentation. This family even used to have a paramilitary organization that operates extra-judicially and completely obeys its whim. Matters of family are in the blood. On the other hand: The House of Ingerson is a powerful and notorious family of mercenary killers, the royal family of its military branch and underworld army and former conquerors until they were overthrown by the countries. Emery hails from this family. The Ingerson family consists of powerful and capable warriors but Vermissimo's plans of world conquest and lineage factor experiments. His wife strongly disapproved of her husband Vermissimo's plans to turn their children into military commanders and utterly remorseless bastards that will help the House of Ingerson conquer the world, so she secretly took a drug that undid her sons' genetic enhancements at the cost of her own life. While she wasn't successful with Beltane, Mamon, Viorel, Bilal and Wildang; she did save Emery. Beltane, Mamon, Viorel, Bilal and Wildang becoming monstrous royal brats thanks to a combination of Vermissimo psychologically altering them in the womb, leaving them with only a tiny shred of humanity and having their bratty behavior enabled by Vermissimo for years. All in all, Vermissimo and his violent ambitions are the main reason why his family has a very poor dynamic. What's even more Phyllis is often seen smiling, but she only plays along with her family's beliefs out of fear that she'll be abused and bullied by them like what Emery suffered. The only times her smiles become genuine is when she is alone with Emery or their dead mother. They believe that a so-called proper royal should be a strong and powerful warrior who shouldn't bend down to help commoners as it is beneath their dignity, so they're perfectly fine abusing their servants and soldiers. Beltane, Mamon, Viorel, Bilal and Wildang had their empathy surgically removed in utero by their own father, they can't understand why abusing others would be a bad thing. Worse yet, Vermissimo both hammered his beliefs into them and enabled their royal brat behavior until they became utter monsters. It runs in the family…Wedding bells ringing, Emery Ingerson standing before his bride, Kyla Meeks. At this point; Kyla leans in to kiss her groom but stops midway as she smirks and lets out a maniacal laugh while brandishing a murderous weapon. An attempt to massacre her cruel family and the Ingersons but allows Emery and Phyllis live. But it failed badly however Kyla escaped as her singing voice resonates a song about revenge throughout as she caused her family and the Ingersons, with exception of Emery and Phyllis, as they all went mad by the beautiful song that tortured them. In the past….At a rehab center; Evolet was sitting alone, as she was trembling. “You’re Evolet, right?” The girl asked. Evolet looked up in surprised, “Who are you?” She required. “Kyla. I am the key to your revenge, I know about the Meeks and the Ingersons. I can help get even. What do you think about all the time?” The girl said. Evolet gives her a dark look in her eyes, “Justice.” She said. Kyla smiled, “You were raped too?” She inquired. Evolet nodded, “Yes.” She said.  In the present….At Delphinium Isle Festival of a large concern being held above beautiful oceans of a tropical sight as Gloria was performing a tempo beat song. Abel Dawber and his crew, Herring Bone, was enjoying the performance but one of the members of Herring Bone name Emery Ingerson was watching Gloria by her vibrant persona. He saw her shake her lips, swing her arms into gyration movements, move to the beat with her breasts bounced slightly as Emery was the only that noticed. The sun rays caused Gloria to seem like she’s glowing with radiance. Despite his perverted nature; Emery was being chivalrous about it. He could see this girl locked in her own groove. Just then; The Ingersons crashed the festival and panic arises in the crowd as they scattered about. Abel and his friends were prepared for this as they saved everyone else. Escaping the stage; Gloria tries to run but almost fell into the floorboards and held on while crying out for her father. She managed to get herself up when she thought she saw someone. “Hello?” Gloria gasped. She looked up but her smile faded as she saw those despicable Ingerson brothers. “Hello there, pretty thing!” Viorel said with a leer. Gloria glared as she this brute a kick in the chin. Sending Viorel into the next county! “What the frigg--?” Draven demanded. “I am the motherfriggin’ princess! SHOT LIKE A ROCKET INTO THE SKY, NOTHING CAN STOP ME TONIGHT!!!” Gloria screeched. Abel was stunned. One of his members name Proteus demanded, “What the hell?!” Gloria took down the soldiers and the monsters however Abel and the others came to her rescue. Gloria got to meet the infamous Abel Dawber and his crew members: Draven, Emery, Vivian, Proteus, Bazi, Jolisa, Sachiel, Thomdic and Fleada. Afterwards; Gloria is out to eat with Abel and the gang as she talks to them. The waitress appeared with food but Gloria notices something with the waitress, she gets up and gives a disdain glance and shook her head. "Not gonna happen." She said. Gloria takes a knife, much to Abel and the others' confused horror but were surprised when Gloria shreds the waitress's outfit to make her look hotter. While laughing and talking with Abel and the gang; Gloria notices Viorel in disguised form and fights him. He throws a baby doll at her but she tosses the baby doll away. Viorel gets away after scaring Gloria, Abel and the gang with a mutated lobster. But they escaped and Gloria managed to find their number to contact them. “Ingerson, is that you right?” Gloria asked from the phone. The Ingersons are shocked. Gloria’s voice continues, “Wildang….Bilal….Viorel….I know you boys can hear me, you’re in deep shit. What we’re looking at is a bounty on your heads. Take a look at what you stole, you’ll learn something interesting about it.” She has a leer in her voice. “You have 12 hours to survive, you bring it back or I will cause shit to happen. Since you won’t heed, you won’t survive in this mad game now won’t you?” She laughed and hung up. The Ingersons were not happy as they track her down! “Gloria, what the hell are you up to?” Bilal demanded. Gloria exclaimed with joy in her voice, “BOYS! You’re just in time, we—we—we’re having a little f—fu—fun!” She lied. “She was gonna kill us!” One of the guards claimed. “What’cha gonna do about it? Want to fight me? Fight me dipshits!” exclaimed Gloria. “Fine by me.” Bilal said. “Well, c’mon! Step outside!” Gloria replied, gesturing them outside. “After you, Gloria!” Viorel said. Gloria clicks her heels together and skipped outside while Viorel, Bilal and Wildang followed. Gloria beamed happily while Wildang attacked them but Gloria scattered discretely from her as they begin to lose them just a moment. “Hey, Gloria. No disappearing!” called Wildang. He looked around for them as they hide themselves away, but Gloria sensed them and used her powers to get them out of hiding. The Ingerson Brothers are shocked and run as Gloria chases after them. “SQUASH ME WILL YA?!” She exclaimed. “Oh, just you wait! JUST YOU WAIT!!! YOU’RE GONNA PAY!!! You want to play rough huh? I’ll smash you good!” She laughed maniacally. But then, she runs off and hides when Bilal hunts her down. “Come out; come out…wherever you are…” He called out. He heard rustling sounds while smiling to himself. “Ha, gotcha!” Bilal said. She sprung to the bushes and removed it but saw only footprints. “What the--?” Bilal muttered. That’s when he felt a force grabbed him and saw Gloria standing before the brothers. “Got you right where I want you!” Gloria called out. Bilal was horrified, “WHAT?!” He yelped. Gloria used her powers and defeated her, she takes them down! But then, Gloria gets kidnapped. Later; Gloria is sitting there while hearing the door open and she was ready for anything. “You were a dancer right?” asked Viorel. Gloria rolls her eyes, “I was one earlier.” She retorted. “Really? Wanna show more of that sexiness again?” Viorel said. Gloria scoffed with attitude, “Uh, no? I’m tired. Let’s do this some other time, ‘kay? Great. Thanks.” She said. Just then, Bilal grabs Gloria by her hair while shouting: “I don’t GIVE A SHIT SLUT!!!” Gloria is thrown in the corner and almost hit the pole but found her balance. The music was being played while Wildang demanded to her to start dancing on the pole. Gloria closes her eyes and does a half hearted sway of her hips while dancing on the pole feebly. She heard the brothers snickering. Bilal spoke up, "That's right...Keep at it...You know, I always thought you were something...Lying to us when you were playing the little ditzy girl. And then, you try to swing at us with that ax, and the way you took on our father like that was crazy but that whole dance you did changed our minds. And we thought Veronica was feisty.” Gloria rolled her eyes. That’s when Viorel slammed his fist on the wall. "COME ON! YOU CALL THAT Dancing?! HA, COME ON!!! WANNA SEE THAT ASS, BREAK IT OFF!!!" He exclaimed. Gloria felt her vision blur as she angrily kicked those two bastards down and sauntered over to them. She leans in with a smirk. “BREAK TO THIS, TOOL!!!” She exclaimed. She pounced her heeled shoes on their chests hard but not too deep. Wildang grabbed her and tossed her on the other side of the room. Gloria looked up to see psychotic looks on Teddy and Johnny’s faces. “You thought that was funny?” demanded Viorel. “Yeah, hilarious.” Gloria retorted. Teddy clenched his fist which was electric sparks coming from it. “You want hilarious? I’ll show you hilarious!” He exclaimed. But all three of them are struck with something that made them feel pain. Gloria is confused and looked to see Evolet is the one responsible. Gloria is astonished that Evolet has shot all three Ingerson brothers with a syringe. “Wow! Where'd you learn to do that?” She asked. Evolet smirked and said, “Useless Talent #37. I got that from Planet Terror.” She flexed her fingers while she helps Gloria escaped while Phyllis watched them go in amazement. Wildang, Viorel and Bilal chased after them while looking for Gloria and the girls as they fell into a trap. Veronica took Wildang while Evolet took Viorel—both guys were begging and crying as they were being dragged away. It was then Bilal realized Gloria was standing over him, “Get up dipshit! Move!” She demanded. Bilal walked down the hall to the study room. The door shut behind him. “Listen ho, like I said--don’t try anything. I’m a crazy girl who just wants to get it on. Now then…Let's begin.” Gloria said. Then, he heard screaming and Gloria leered sinisterly: “Looks like they’re having fun.” She said.  “What's the matter? You’re not gonna scream on me, are ya?” Gloria muttered. Bilal shook his head, “Mmm—mmm.” He said. “Aw c’mon baby, my boner’s pretty wet….” Gloria said, laughing and then she beats him. “Cum Billy, I love to hear you breathing. I hope to God you’ll never leave me.” Whispered Gloria. Bilal's knees buckled and his resilience began to give way even more to Gloria's insanity. Gloria continued torture Bilal more while she smirked down at him. “Want me to put you in a spin? I’ll have at ya ‘til you’re sore! Let the punishment fit the crime!” Gloria exclaimed. She then got Christopher brought in and they are tortured in watching what’s on the magic mirrors: Teague went into another room to see something from on the other side of glass of two boys who were really Kai and William being bound, gagged, and seated in chairs while their legs were shackled. The cruel looking, stoic Christopher gives instructions through an intercom, and stabbing is shown. The next part shows of Mamon, Beltane, Viorel, Bilal and Wilding took a perverted interest in Concesa, Veronica and Ginger so Vermissimo let them have their sick fun but only if they don’t kill them. Beltane and Mamon took Ginger while Wilding and Viorel took Veronica—both girls were begging and crying as they were being dragged away. It was then Concesa realized Bilal was standing over her, “Get up dollface! Move!” He demanded. Concesa slowly rose up for she didn’t have a choice. Bilal grabbed her arm, “Don’t try anything!” He started to growl but Concesa pulled away, “GET OFF ME!!! I’M GOING ALL RIGHT?!” She screamed. She glanced at her mother and her father who were torn up but Concesa looked upset as she walked down the hall to the study room. The door shut behind her. “Listen doll, like I said--don’t try anything. I’m a horny boy who just wants to get laid. Now then…Take off your clothes.” Bilal said. Concesa was nervous and she was going to strip off quickly to get it over with but Bilal said to her, “Uh-uh. Slowly.” Concesa looked at him, “You’re so desperate aren’t you?” She remarked. Then, she heard screaming and Bilal leered sinisterly: “Looks like they’re having fun.” He said. Painfully upset for her life and her friends; Concesa removed her bra and stood there, her face red with shame. Bilal’s mouth curved into a smile, “Fuck doll, you got some tits there. Puberty’s been good to ya huh?” He retorted. “I’m 12 years old.” Concesa said shyly. Bilal let out a wolf whistle: “You’re almost a teenager, hot damn! Well Honey Bunny, today’s you’re lucky day.” He said. He walked close to her and eying her body. Bilal noticed she didn’t take off her panties so he did so and unzip his pants, Concesa felt herself panting a little with anxiety. “Sa matter? You’re not gonna scream on me, are ya?” Bilal muttered. Concesa shook her head, “Mmm—mmm.” She said but felt tears in her eyes streaming down. “Aw c’mon baby, my dick’s pretty wet….” Bilal said, laughing and then he started. Concesa leaned against the wall, she didn’t want to scream but it hurts. “Cum Connie, I love to hear you breathing. I hope to God you’ll never leave me.” Whispered Bilal. Then, the mirror shows the second memory: Evolet's knees buckled and her resilience began to give way even more to the brothers' gross assault. Mamon continued molesting Evolet as the other brothers cheered, laughing at Evolet as she squirmed and tried to break loose. He "Strip her." Mamon said. "Let us see what she looks like without all those clothes." Viorel ripped her clothes open and removed. Evolet tried to fight back, slapping and kicking as her pants were undone. "Hold still, whore!" He growled as he wrapped his arms under her arms and behind her head. Bilal is groping her breasts with his filthy hands. She closed her eyes in defeat, slowly bringing her legs together and allowing her pants to drop to the ground. Evolet closed her eyes as she stepped out of the pants, shifting them off to the side and exposing her long, milky-white legs as the brothers cheered. "More!" shouted the Ingerson brothers, whistling crudely and slapping the table. "Yeah, take it off!" Evolet glared towards the raucous den of these evil brothers, but realizing her defeat, pulled off her shredded undershirt, tossing it to the ground and standing in her panties with her hands on her hips. She slowly undid the first hook of her bra, furious at having to show her nude body to Wildang, Beltane, Mamon, Bilal and Viorel. Evolet continued removing her bra, shaking as her full breasts sprang out from their restraining garment. Viorel licked his lips as Evolet shyly kept one arm over her breasts, putting one hand down the front of her tiny panties. She stood still, her heart pounding.  Bilal made a hand gesture towards Evolet. "Take them off." He demanded. Evolet closed her eyes as she pulled the little panties down, making them slide down her slim legs and kicking them away. She then placed her hands over her bare crotch and breasts as men jeered at her and shouted crude comments. Evolet's heart pounded with fear as she stood with her womanhood just barely covered by her small hands, fully realizing how completely her privacy had been stripped from her. Evolet's crotch and breasts to finally expose her body to the crowd for all to see. Her neck was firm and long, supporting her head and accentuating her beautiful face, which was only enhanced by her long brown hair. Her breasts were firm. Her arms were fairly thin, but still muscular, and her hands were small and possessed long dexterous fingers. Evolet's stomach was flat and toned, and the brothers enjoyed how it went concave when she breathed out. As their  lustful gaze trailed over her hips and lovely bottom he began to fantasize about how these areas would taste. She swirled and kicked, her unsupported breasts swaying as her humiliation grew with every moment that passed. The crowd chanted crude words to her, exposing themselves and taunting her. Evolet is in a shameful display of self-pleasure. The brothers laughed as her intimate areas became visible to all, leaving no part of her body a mystery to the crowd. "Yeah, stroke it, whore!" The deafening laughter and catcalls made Evolet feel more uncomfortable than she had felt in her entire life. She remembered they were on top of her. Their cocks were inside of her and she is screaming for help, but they beat her and told her that yelling wouldn't help. Evolet struggled for a bit, but she wasn’t strong enough. It was a blur but Evolet just appeared near her room with her body dirtied in blood. Later; Evolet is lead away by the maidservants to a bath as she was bathed in scented water, her limbs have been caressed by sweet oils and her hair combed with sandalwood by the maidservants. She is forced to be wedded to Wildang. The magic mirror ends and the enemies escaped while fighting Gloria. 


Gloria Virgil had been fascinated with crossovers since she was a child. There was Cartoon All Stars; an anti drug program featuring cartoons such as Loonie Tunes, TMNT, Winnie the Pooh and more. Then, along came Kingdom Hearts: A boy name Sora wielding the power of the Keyblade. He is aided by Donald Duck and Goofy as they travel in a Gummy Ship while facing against the shadow monsters called Heartless! Ever since then, Gloria has come up with ideas and daydreaming. As she got older, it got darker and darker with each year passing. It was then Gloria found her inspiration: A Zack Snyder film titled Sucker Punch. And then, Gloria was enthralled by the go go dancer turned zombie hunter with a gun leg weapon Cherry Darling. And then there was Black Swan. Originally; Gloria wanted to add Babydoll, Rocket, Amber, Blondie and Sweet Pea to her crossover but to her dismay—Rocket, Amber and Blondie are killed. Babydoll surrenders to the High Roller, Blue Jones—the baddie—is arrested and Sweet Pea escapes while living a normal life. Gloria was inspired by Girl Interrupted, Virgin Suicides and I Spit On Your Grave. She created troubled girls on the point of suicide until Squad 11, from the anime Bleach, saves them. And one of the girls is inspired by the singer Ke$ha. Then, it got weirder where Gloria wanted her protagonist to team up with Captain Hitsugaya, Rangiku, Ikkaku and Yumichika in a world wind of epic proportions. It got darker as the revenge ploy in Clockwork Orange however Gloria thought it was too dark so she scraped that idea! She originally had animes of population: Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Blue Exorcist, K, Karneval, Soul Eater, Gintama (thanks to the fascination with the Shinsengumi), Deadman Wonderland, Tokyo Ravens, A Certain Magical Index, Fairy Tail and Attack on Titan. Gloria Virgil also added No More Heroes because of how cool Travis Touchdown was. But then she lost interest and didn’t have much interest in the animes so she scraped Naruto, One Piece, K, Soul Eater, Tokyo Ravens and A Certain Magical Index because of popularity gaining while also self pressure. However, she sticked to the animes she desired as she added Tiger and Bunny, Noragami and Seraph of the End. People doubted her, saying that it couldn’t happen but she wanted to prove them wrong. But faced a horrible reality: Folks would think she’s taking copyrights and plagiarizing as her own. But Gloria was never intentionally going to plagiarize or take copyrights. She dreamt of just sharing this anime crossover to everyone and would give credit to the respectful owners however she has so much anxiety that she didn’t know what to do. It was then she learnt about the Aurora Theatre Shooting, the Sandy Hook Massacre, the Kenya mall shooting and other horrors that she dedicatedly uses these tragic events as background stories for her characters in her anime crossover.  It poignantly struck her so much, she wasn’t doing this as being insensitive but rather she was felt painfully memorable by all this and her prayers for her. Gloria also was inspired by the Runaways’ Cherrie Currie and Joan Jett after the biopic came out and saw female empowerment through the movie. She came up with the name of Cherry or Cherie after the name of the singer and tried using the last names of the female band mates. Gloria then changed the names to Mia, Krystal, Jasmine, Tristana and Verona. It was then Gloria listened to Natalia Kills’ song “Wonderland” and came up with the names: Maggie Wolfe, Sadie Towers, etc. It was then she liked the character of Briar Devlin and was going to featured her later but decided to have her as the main protagonist and changed her around in back-stories and a lot of other complicated stuff before really laying it thick. After seeing her dream production; Concesa hears about the story of Young Gloria: Long ago; Gloria went down the rabbit hole of her own wonderland called Kinroo Blue as she saw zombies were attacking a young boy with black hair so she goes and rescues him, the boy is thankful and introduces himself as Ivica Smith, who turns out to be Alemath's nice younger brother. Gloria got Ivica to safety with her magic powers as they encountered Coco Robin, King Thrushbeard, Frau Holle, Godfather Death, Doctor Foster, Jack Horner, King Cole and his daughter Talia as Ivica went back to Smith Corporation as he told his older brother Alemath what happened. Alemath Smith shows an interest in Gloria for some reason. Just then, Gloria felt something dark controlling her as she went to torment kids mentally! Finally; Gloria snaps out of it and feels guilty however she apologizes as the trio forgive her until they ran into Lucius Cypher! The most evil entity who wanted to twist Gloria into a sick, twisted character so she took her magic powers upon Cypher and 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. Gloria was getting dubious by the minute; she believes that the snide, bravado, and elusive rich Alemath is behind all this. She wasn't sure what was going on but she was going to find out. However, she encountered Alemath's younger brother Ivica again. "I'm sorry, my brother is unavailable. If you want, I can set up an appointment for another time..." Ivica explained. Ivica was close to his brother ever since childhood. But the difference between them is Ivica was much nicer than his jerk off big brother. "Ivica, 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 Gloria. Ivica 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. Gloria has no choice but to accept defeat; she let out a sigh. "Phew." She thought. Gloria 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."  Ivica nodded, "Sure thing. I'll tell him that when he wakes up." He said. Gloria looked like she was leaving but she sneaked to the staircase. "Sorry, Alemath. But I'm not leaving until I get some answers." She thought. Gloria 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; Gloria brushed this off by laughing it off. "Ha, stupid." She mumbled. Gloria 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. Gloria 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 Gloria. "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 Alemath? Just tell me, who are you? Really?" Gloria asked. The boy looked at her apathetically before pulling out a gun. "Sorry." He said, "Time to say goodbye." Gloria looked at him, terrified. The boy looked at her face, "Who are you? You remind me of someone...." Gloria looked shy and flustered. The boy comforts her trouble. It was then afterwards that Gloria is startled easily by a creature so fearsome that this thing could frightened children away—He goes by the name of the Bogeyman! The Bogeyman 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. The Bogeyman also appears to always be grinning. Even when expressing disappointment of sarcasm or legitimate, his lips maintain a smile. Bogeyman 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.” Gloria crossed her arms, “Bring it on!” She declared. The Bogeyman 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?” Gloria 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.” The Bogeyman remarked, and he swiftly went away. Later on while walking alone; Gloria turned around to see who it was, but she saw that no one was there. Gloria kept walking, a little faster however the person who was stalking her was closing in on her. Gloria quickly turned around to face her stalker. She was surprised to see that it was—Alemath Smith. "Oh, it's only you." Gloria said coldly. "What do you want?" She looked at him suspicious. "I just want to talk to you." replied Alemath. "I would like to thank you for saving my brother Ivica." This made Gloria even more suspicious. "I wasn't doing it for you; I was saving innocent lives who were at stake." She snapped. Alemath nodded, "That's what I like about you." He answered. "Selfless. Caring. And your powers continued to amazed me." Alemath 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. Gloria 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?" Gloria asked, touched by his kindness. "Yes. For your heroic efforts that is." replied Alemath 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--great sensation." He said. Gloria'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. Alemath 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!" Gloria declared. Then, she storms away. Alemath 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, Gloria 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; Alemath snickers quietly of this. Her powers were losing control and was going out of line. Perfect! Gloria tried to restrained herself of her movement to her arms and legs but she couldn't. It was hopeless! Gloria didn't understand what was going on and it was scaring her. Alemath sneered, "Got you now." He thought. Ivica glanced at his older brother, he didn't like this one bit. Not at all. It wasn't good to him. Gloria 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." Gloria 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. "Alemath, what the heck are you doing in my head, you jerk?" demanded Gloria. Alemath leered at her, "You refused my offer. Nobody refuses Alemath Smith 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 Alemath. Fear flooded her face, "You wouldn't." growled Gloria. "I would. Back talk towards me and you won't get to breathe ever again!" warned Alemath viciously. "Get out of my head, Alemath! Leave. Me. ALONE!!!!" begged Gloria. "You can't stop me, Gloria. I can control every muscle, every nerve, every vessel in your body." Alemath declared, laughing insanely. He then made Gloria run away with her looking back as she was lured over to Smith Corporation, she tried to fight back from entering in there but she knew it was no use and fell to the ground as Alemath laughed with insanity. Then, Gloria 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!" Alemath replied. "NEVER!" screeched Gloria. "Fine. I'll make you suffer more and more...AND MORE!" cried Alemath. Ivica gasped, "No! Why we are punishing her? She saved my life! Brother, don't do this!" He thought. Gloria 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. Gloria looked up, she saw that it was an angel, he was special. "Who are you?" Gloria asked. "Hush, do not cry. I have come to save you from your pain." replied the man. All of a sudden; Alemath 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: Robin, John, Will, David and Tucker. "What the heck is going on? What did you two do to her?" demanded Marion. "It was big brother's idea really!" protested Ivica truthfully. "You've gone too far! You shouldn’t do this at all!" protested David. Gloria rested in the arms of a strange girl, Marion, as Gloria admires Marion 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. Gloria 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! Gloria 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 Adelita! Gloria gasps in shock, “Son of a gun! Alemath Smith? 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; Marion found a boy lying on the beach. The boy woke up with a start and he escapes. The second scene shows of Marion giving Robin an envelope, which he rips it up into pieces. Marion is saddened however Robin wipes her tears away but he leans beside her, vowing to kill her. Marion wonders why but one day, she confronts Robin however she is held at gunpoint. Robin cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. The next scene shows Robin fighting in war in his giant robot but he falls defeated as he thought of Marion before passing out. Robin wakes up to see Marion sitting beside him, she smiles at him before she gets up and walks away. Robin watches her go, wondering why he can’t kill her. Just then, a mysterious figure was watching Gloria, who noticed that she is being stalked and attacked by thugs. Gloria 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 Phoenix, I command you to let the lady go. Now!" commanded the ultimate guy. The thugs show some respect for him. "Phoenix!" Gloria looked up, "The Firebird?" 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 Phoenix had fire all around and shouted: "BURN INTO NOTHING!!!!" In the meantime; Adelita tells her about the Black Eyed Children are out and about. Realizing trouble was ahead; Gloria ran out and found a building as The Black Eyed Children confronts her: "Gloria Virgil, 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 Gloria. The Black Eyed Children were shocked, they looked away before chuckling insanely. They looked up; sneering at Gloria, "Y'know, we would've gone away with it too...If it weren't for you meddling little girl." They said. Gloria 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. Gloria looked up to see a dark silhouetted man. "Koschei." Gloria said, giving him a glare. "Father." said the Delightful Children, as if it was one person saying it. "So, you're Koschei." Gloria said. "Yes, I am. Why that's the first time I address myself in front of my enemies." Koschei remarked. "You really are a selfish jerk-off aren't you?!" Gloria demanded. "Oh, am I? I think you should....LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!" Koschei cried, throwing Gloria to the ground. She gets up but saw Koschei and his fire as well as The Black Eyed Children. "I'm going to finish you just like I did with your daddy." Koschei exclaimed, raising his weapon as if he was ready to stab her. Gloria cringed away, but she noticed she was dying and looked to see Robin, the other guys, Marion and Alemath were defending her. Gloria 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; Gloria and her friends defeated Koschei, who was injured very badly. "Father!" cried the Black Eyed Children, rushing over to aid him. "Well done, Briana. But don't think this is over, I will be back to destroy you." Koschei said, there was a smoke that covered him and his children. By the time the fog cleared; Koschei and the Black Eyes Children were already gone. "And I'll be ready." Gloria claimed. Gloria and the others went home, where she becomes a legendary warrior and a heroine. 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 Gloria Virgil and was innocent, naive, beautiful, and a sweet young girl. With goggles on her head, Gloria 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!" Gloria 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. Gloria 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, Gloria 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, Gloria 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, Gloria 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! Gloria 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 Gloria 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. Gloria 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--Hermes 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, Gloria kept giggling to herself and saying, “Me too…With I, Gloria, as the supreme insane ruler! Then, only then...Where is that coming from?! Ha! Hermes and Solon 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, Solon 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; Solon begins to sit there alone, away from the camp. Hermes saw he looks trouble and walks over to talk to him. "Hey buddy, why aren't you having fun?" asked Hermes. "I don't know, I guess I'm troubled somehow. I'm just not the type who wants to have fun." admitted Solon. Hermes is surprised, he smiled at him: "You don't, really?" He asked. Solon rolled his eyes, "No. I mean, I want to have fun but I don't want to because I fear of rejection." He asked. Hermes 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 Hermes. Solon sighed, "You may have a point, have you ever been alone?" He asked. "No, well...Yeah, sometimes I do." replied Hermes. 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 Solon as well as Hermes 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 Hermes and Solon were thrown overboard as both boys fell unconscious, Gloria jumped in and saved the two boys while she pulled them to shore. "Are they dead?" Gloria asked. "I don't know." said Blake. "Maybe we shall chant an incantation to rise them from the dead." Kerwin suggested. Bruno and Blake stared at him. "I think you've been reading too much comics, Lumpy." said Bruno. "Hmm, I hear his heart beating......And his too......" said Blake. "They are?" gasped Gloria. “Wait, it sounds faint...No, his heart is pulsing. Yes, he is living after all.” said Blake. "Yes, I knew it." said Gloria happily. She put her hand running through Solon's hair. "He is so beautiful...They both are..." mused Gloria. "Maybe this will stop you from fighting." Then, she begins to sing a song. Stirring slowly in his sleep; Hermes was astounded, confused by this pretty song of a siren voice. "Wha--?" He thought. Turning to Solon; Gloria begins to sing again. Hermes found his words, "Oh....Wow......" He murmured. "....That was beautiful." Solon said softly. Gloria smiled dreamingly until she heard Turan, Tinia, Orcus, Pherse and Selvans calling for their friends so Gloria and her friends escaped but from afar at a safe distance, Gloria sings. While on a mission as a captive fighter; Gloria makes friends with a boy name Jason and his Argo Team: Castor, Polion, Pelias, Atalia and Aekley. During that time; Gloria 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 Gloria, as he tried to attack them out of rage. He managed to hurt a friend which caused Gloria to snap as she tries to fight back however something crashed in! There he was—Jason and his team. Gloria is awestruck by what she was seeing them fight together. She realized it was Jason and the team! Gloria escaped with them and separates herself from them to be alone. In that instant in a room of her own; Gloria is singing to herself while dancing around. Later on; Jason shows the team what he uncovered and they learn the pendant is a locket with a young Gloria. Polion sees it through and says, "Cute. Who is it?" Jason 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 Gloria performing as she was beginning to sing. She was singing and managed to get an offer from a manager but Gloria accept while accepting herself just the way she was. On the other side, Solon was sleeping as the TV was playing the performance of Gloria. Then it became a kaleidoscope with Gloria singing on stage while clutching the microphone on it the stand as she sang various songs. More of her insanity; Gloria 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. Gloria 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. Gloria is paranoid enough to think that Koschei and the Black Eyed Children might return as they will cause her downfall once again but she will not let that happen again! After hearing this, Concesa was surprised by Gloria at how funny and weird but sweet she was. While investigating on the Herring Bone Crew; Gloria looked at the memories of Emery: How his childhood was, his arranged marriage, how he went against his friends in order to not let them get hurt and how his family was laughing at Emery’s misery after the battle with Abel and the others. Gloria felt the emotions of what was going on and wishes to put her arms around Emery, comforting him. Gloria then finds herself singing, little did she know Emery heard this and feels the memories flooded back as he felt the pain inside.
