Glory Days Determination

Katherine Donovan is obsessed and will stop at nothing while writing down these ideas inside of her head. It's driving her mad! --KatDon 

Katherine has so many exciting things swirling inside her mind and it made her excited so she continued with ideas for her anime crossover: While working with Solo; Briar encountered with information about the new world mission. Curious, Briar asked where they are and she is told that they are into the new world but is warned of danger however Briar wonders, "How dangerous could it be?" But she couldn’t go alone and was brought with her friends and are transported to another world. Arriving at their destination; Briar, Randi, Maggie, Lola and Marina are awe-stricken by the sight of a desolated, abandoned-like city. “So this is the ‘apocalypse’, huh. It sure has gone to hell.” Remarked Briar. They were supposed to be in the area of the military but there was nothing of the sort and the girls weren’t sure where they were. “Where the hell are we?” Maggie asked. “I—I have no idea, just keep on your guard OK?” Briar instructed but then she stopped. “Wait! What’s that?” She muttered. Briar could see figures from afar but not too far. Briar gasped, “Guys? We have to hide—now!” She commanded softly. “What?” Lola said. Briar fiercely persuaded, “Do as I say! Go!” So, the girls hide however they peeked out to see more clearly. “I see five adolescents in uniforms.” Emily whispered. There was three guys and two girls were dressed differently than the boys. “Oh shit, what is that?” mumbled Maggie pointed over. The five adolescent soldiers then draw out weapons of fire with black and green! Briar was amazed by this, she is shocked by this but then she jumped at a loud whoop sound near her. “AWWW MAN THAT IS AWESOME!!!!” exclaimed Maggie. Surprised, the five turned around yet they weren’t fast enough for Briar pulled Maggie while in a soft, urgent tone: “Get down.” Maggie ducked by Briar’s hand but then she noticed the others glaring at her. “What?” protested Maggie. “Are you nuts? Mags, they’ll see us!” Briar said softly but frantic. They listened quietly while they heard voices that say: “What was that?” A guy’s voice asked. “Hmm, I don’t know.” A female’s voice remarked. “Let’s keep moving.” Another girl’s voice said with a high pitched tone. Briar peeked out as the five were moving ahead. Just then, Briar noticed that someone was following the five. She saw a woman in flowing dress that looked like it was floating from behind with pretty prints, strong colors and rich textures on it. She donned unwashed hair while barefoot. She was making her way towards them; Briar saw this as she told her friends to stay hidden. “Wait, what are you doing?” demanded Lola softly. Briar smiled, “Going turbo.” She used stealth to sneak behind her and swiftly pounced her without causing much attention. Just then, Sylver enter in a vehicle where she started the engine and caused the car to drive by itself. Sylver recognized the woman as Ophelia, she was scared but she did all she could to stop the vehicle though she felt the tires being slashed and the vehicle tumbled about. Sylver managed to use her strength to stop it. She sighed with relief until out of the corner of her eye, she saw movement. Sylver used the buttons and she managed to open them in the tipped over vehicle while in the confusion trying to stay as calm as possible. The commanding soldier and his squad surround the vehicle and called out, “Attack!” Sylver’s hands threw her up to halt them, “WAIT!!!” She proceeds to say: “You may be wandering who I am. Well, that’s for you to find out.” Sylver pointed over, “This chick does, just look at her expression.” She said. The girl looked both perplexed and mortified. The others didn’t looked amused however there was growling sound. Just then; Sylver smirked, holding up two guns. “Cue the music!” She said. Sylver did an aerial and fired her guns at the enemies. Taking them out, Sylver said: “Looks like mama’s gonna express some rage.” She could feel she was being watched though she didn’t care as she continued to fight but then the monster slashed at her! “Ah-haha-ow!” exclaimed Sylver. She kicked at the monster, breaking its neck as it let out a nasty crunch. “Yaagh, right up mainstream!” Sylver cried. She sighed, “Ugh, mother-chucker!” She looked up to see her friends are nervously intimidated by a commanding officer who looked decently annoyed and has an irritated glare upon his face while Sylver. Sylver knew that this was going to be a lot of explaining to do. Meanwhile, a teenage soldier name Shiho Kimizuki, he was slim and fit but he was running enough to catch his breath. "Can't believe we got separated like this!” Kimizuki muttered to himself. He made a turn however he caught a glimpse of someone in his way and almost ran into them as he halted himself and he was frustrated that he stormed over to the girl of this figure. “Hey, buddy! I don’t know what your deal is, are you friggin’ stupid or something? Walking in my way like that! I’d like to give you a piece of my mind if you weren’t so dense, I…” But he stopped when the girl turned her head towards him. The girl was Lola. She gazed at Kimizuki with a dark glare; Kimizuki felt frozen with fear and grinned nervously, “Sorry.” He blurted out. He manages to run away from sight; however Lola was trailing behind him. Kimizuki tried to pick up the pace however he tripped over something and he landed on the ground. Luckily, he was alive and got out but then a bloodied part of a head splattered in his direction. It missed and hit the ground. Kimizuki gasped until he heard a silk-like voice say, “There! A piece of your mind, now what did you wanted to say to me?” It was Lola again; Kimizuki looked up in shock as he stammers out: “Listen, I’m terribly sorry…I just got separated from my friends and having to deal with the vampires….” But clearly this girl isn’t listening, Lola then said, “Now look here my cranky, uptight friend; we can’t just flip the bird while yelling at pedestrians, it’s simply not nice.” With one hand, she grabbed Kimizuki by his shirt collar and said in a dark tone, “I’m just going to teach you a lesson.” But Kimizuki stops her. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. But…I have a young sister who is now a weapon for the Imperial Army. And I’m having a hard time finding my friends, I wish I could take it all back but I can’t. I’ll do anything you want, anything!” He begged. That seem to get Lola’s attention, she smiled delightfully as her shiny white teeth sparkled like pearls as she glances down at Kimizuki, “Anything?” She asked, emphasizing the word. Kimizuki nodded sternly, Lola lets him go on the ground while saying: “All right then.” and demands for his identification however she used the MPD to get the information from what it says. Once the girl got the information on him, she says: “OK Kimizuki, I’ll forgive you for this if you promise to do something for sweet me.” Kimizuki was curious so he responds back, “Oh, all right. What is it?” Lola exclaims a little, startling him: “I don’t know!!! I haven’t thought of it, yet!!!” She then said in a calm voice, “You just toddle on back to your car, and if I need you, I’ll call. OK? Great. See ya around!” She skipped away as she giggled delightfully. Moments later while in the military vehicle; Sylver played with the windows out of boredom. She leaned to the driver as she said with a purr: “Y’know, its kinda lonesome back here.” The commanding officer guy let out an ‘hmph’ though Emily could tell that he was smiling. It was quiet until the guy spoke up. “Ichinose, Guren.” The man said. “Eden, Sylver.” Sylver replied, into formalities. “So, what brings you here Miss Eden?” Guren asked. “Well, it’s my lucky day and I’m after a guy on my shit list.” Sylver answered. Guren nodded, “I see.” He said. “I didn’t ask for this and I’m no psycho, but when a mad scientist is at large with these monsters, the time has come to be a friggin’ psycho!” Sylver declared. However she had to ask, “How did you find me?” Guren stated, “Your commanding officer by the name of Solomon Falcone lead me to you.” Sylver was surprised, “Yeah, Solo’s a great guy.” She said. Guren nodded faintly. They drove to an abandoned military base where they stopped. Just then; an Infestation appears; roaring when it is punched and its neck broke with a sickening crack.  “Hello boys n’ girls!” called Sylver. The army was in shock. Sylver laughed, she looked up and saw a dark haired, untidy tresses and in the uniform. Briar recognizes him as the soldier she saw before. Tate then introduced her to the boy as Yuuchiro Hyakuya. Yuu welcomes her, “Hi.” He said. “Hello. It’s nice to meet you.” Briar greeted. “So, you’re joining us huh?” Yuu replied. “Oh yeah.” Yuu said with an excited grin. Just then, the friendly mood was cut short out of someone crying out like a crazy person. “What was that!? I should kill ‘em all and escape?” Sylver exclaimed. Everyone was startled, Sylver giggled as she said: “Sorry.” She pointed to the temple of her head, “Deez voices.” The soldiers are confused, Sylver laughed. “I’m kidding! No, that’s not what they really said.” She claimed while smirking. Guren let out an ‘hmph’, “Well I think we need to converse but first you girls need to stay in confinement.” He announced. Later, Briar peered through the room and looked over at Tate, “In here?” She asked. “Just for a little while.” Guren assured her and the other girls. Briar, Randi, Lola and Marina were OK with it but Maggie hated being locked into places and was being scared like a little girl but she was shoved in. However, she didn’t stop begging! “Lemme outta here, darlin’ please!” Maggie begged. The door slammed in her face. Maggie banged on the door, “LEMME OUTTA HERE SONOFABITCH!!!” She shouted. Her shouting echoed down the halls as she made a lot of noise. From the other rooms; Marina, Randi, Lola, and Briar were annoyed to hear her scream her head off. Until Randi used her fist to slam at the walls while screaming, “Maggie!!! SHUT UP!!!” Maggie clammed up but whimpered comically in distress. Only Lola and Marina could giggle in each of their rooms. In the meantime; Solo was at this meeting with Guren and his squad members as he was having a discussion with them, ignoring Maggie’s screaming. “I was assign to a squad of some girls with troubled pasts.” Solo said. “Why is that?” Guren inquired. “Let’s just say they can fight well but they have determination to serve and protect other people.” Solo explained. “They’re worst of the worst.” Guren noted. “Oh yeah, to the monsters.” agreed Solo. He then took a look at the files from the background story of the five soldiers of the Shinoa Squad. “Let’s see…Yuuchiro Hyakuya…He and his family were in the vampire city and the children were murdered…This is Shinoa Hiragi, her sister Mahiru was murdered by but before that she was considered a ‘goddess’ back in the day and Shinoa was tortured. Mitsuba Sangu, she’s got sister issues too. Yoichi Saotome, he is an innocent yet he has suffered the loss of his own sister from a vampire…annnnnddd Shiho Kimizuki is here to help his sister.” Guren nodded, “Yes that’s exactly right.” He said, “How can your girls compare to my soldiers?” Solo said, “Did I mention these girls are mentally unstable at times?” Guren realized what Solo means by that, “They’re psychos.” He said. Solo glances at him, “Exactly.” He replied. “Solo, what makes you think you can control them?” Tate asked. “Because doing what the boss says is what I do for a living. I want to believe that these girls could actually do some good.” Solo answered. After the girls were being released, they were lead away from the rooms and into a whole different chamber. Briar looked around as she let a wry smile loose, “What is this? Uh, cheerleading tryouts?” She said with sarcasm. “No, training.” Guren answered. He gives her two guns for her, Briar’s eyes widened, “You jokers must be crazy.” She claimed. She tries out the guns and is surprised how well they are! The other girls got equipped by other officials, even Randi is given a red tank in two-tone design with faux leather and stretchy fabric accenting the front and back. She also wore a matching red faux leather leggings with slashed detail. It looked cool for her and she loved the slashed detail. The problem was she had to change there and she didn’t mind anyone watching, she was pretty much oblivious. That’s when Randi noticed the stares, “What?” She asked. But the soldiers looked away and went on to their business. Maggie muttered, “What is she? Jail friggin’ bait?” Briar stifled her laughter, just then Guren waited patiently before clearing his throat and that got people’s attention. “All you know is that you work for me now, but this is the deal—you’re going somewhere bad and possible get yourself killed. Let me make one thing clear: Don’t disobey me. Don’t try to escape. Don’t irritate or vex me.” He explained. Maggie raised her hand up to say while letting out an ‘ahem’, “Um, I am known to be quite vexing—I’m just warning you.” Guren smirks in her direction, “I know, just don’t piss me off all right?” He said. Maggie dropped her hand, rolled her eyes slightly and pretended to pout however she knew this was coming. “So if we get caught or killed, you throw us under the bus?” She retorted. Guren stared down at Maggie, “You’d think I would do that? I wouldn’t forgive myself for such a terrible thing.” He said, “You girls are to be assigned with the Shinoa Squad. I know you have been trying to take down the monsters, we are too but we’re more advanced.” Hearing this; Briar smiled at this revelation, “I got it. You guys are a creature hunting organization huh. Just like us.” She replied. Briar cocked her guns, “Let’s go save the world.” She announced. Later, they set off with the Shinoa Squad but soon there was trouble. The additional drivers will engage in high speed pursuits involving dozens of patrol cars for the flimsiest of reasons. But Briar saw there were monsters that were trying to take down the Shinoa Squad. Though the monsters never dream that the agent of Evermore Agnecy would chase after such trouble. They went to ridiculous lengths to catch them for what, at most, could be something more until Briar managed to trip as the two groups went flying and they got away so soon! Despite this, Briar and the rest as well as Yuu and his friends were still in one piece--they were shocked at how they are still alive! “Woooo—weeeeeee! What a ride!” Maggie said excitedly. “Guess they weren’t kidding about the crazy ones, huh.” Randi said in a teasing tone. Maggie looked at her, “Huh?” She asked. “Come on, enough talk---Look!” Mitsuba said, pointing to the monsters that were coming. Everyone prepared themselves, “Let’s play!” Briar claimed, “Let’s gooooooo!!!!!” The battle started as everyone battled the oncoming monsters. “Light it up!” Marina yelled. Maggie went for the monsters while Briar called out: “MAGGIE!!! STAY WITH THE GROUP!!!” Maggie shouted out, “I’LL BE BACK!!!” She actually took down the monsters and came back to the group. However, Mitsuba complained: “You can’t just leave the group! Are you insane? You girls really are a bunch of weirdos!” Maggie sighed at Mitstuba’s nagging voice. “We don’t have time for your B.S.! Besides, nobody’s getting hurt!” She claimed. As she said that, there was a crash. Eyebrows were raised, but Maggie insisted: “That guy was up there before we got here!” There was danger ahead as frightened children were being confronted by the beasts. “Oh my god!” Briar gasped. Maggie rubbed her hands together, “Time to let the sparks fly!” She bellowed. And she went full throttle on the monster legion, not allowing anyone close to her while she fought. Once she was done; Maggie moaned before she declares, “I’m very hot and bothered right now!” Briar groaned, “Mags!” Maggie called out, “What? I really am!” She insisted. “Yeah but no one needs to hear that!” Briar pointed out. Maggie sighed, “OK, OK. Sorry!” She said. The mood was ruined by a sight of soldiers running away however an invisible force took them down in a gory fashion. The gang were shocked by this as they fled from the sight, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing this! That couldn’t be happening, could it? Once they got to safety; all of them were shocked and trembling at the sight. “What…What was that?” demanded Shinoa. “I have no idea!” claimed Briar. “Whatever it was, it didn’t follow us.” Claimed Yoichi. “Whew!” sighed Marina. “There is someone out there who is killing people and might come for us!” asserted Mitsuba. “I don’t think we stand a chance against whoever that was.” Yuu spoke out. “No shit, maybe we should call it quits.” Kimizuki agreed reluctantly. 

Briar looked at the boys in amazement and disbelief. “You two are pathetic, you aren’t strong enough! You want to defeat these savages? I expect better from you!” Briar scolded towards Yuu and Kimizuki. “What? You’re calling us weak?” Yuu exclaimed. “Well, you sound like you want to give up! You’re a fool, Yuu—Are you going to let Mika down? Will you avenge him or fall behind as a weakling?” Briar said, shoving Yuu to a pillar. She sneered at him as he cried out, “No!” Briar turned her attention towards Kimizuki, “You are no different either, what about helping your dear sister Mirai? You care about her, don’t ya? What kind of brother are you if you give up? You are just like the other people, a coward!” She pegged. “That’s not true!” Kimizuki protested. “Right! You don’t have the courage!” Briar said, pushing Yuu and Kimizuki further. Shinoa was surprised. Randi gasped. Yoichi looked frightened while Maggie shivers at this. Mitsuba looked tensed as well as Marina. “Brie, are you crazy?!” Lola exclaimed. “What you gonna do now boys?” demanded Briar, ignoring Lola. These two boys were increased into anger! “You want to see how piss we are?” Yuu exclaimed. “Yeah, I want to see!” Briar said loudly. “You really want to see anger?” Kimizuki screamed. “Yeah, show it to me!” Briar cried. Everyone was nervous for the situation that was coming to a head! Yuu summoned multiple fire swords while Kimizuki summoned a purple fiery coffin! The others looked on in horror, Maggie gasped sharply. Briar looked with a calm expression upon her façade. The two boys grinned at her reaction. “You look scared, heh!” Yuu said with a smirk. Briar nodded, “Yeah, but not too bad.” She admitted. She wasn’t so shocked or scared. Kimizuki leered down at her, “You’re gonna pay for what you said.” He replied. Briar reflected with her smirk, “I know, that was the idea of what I was doing.” She retorted. Kamoku and Evan glance at each other with disbelief, then look back at her with a double take. “Wait, what?” Briar held her hands up calmly, “I was trying to get you guys there. Your breaking point, that’s what I meant.” She claimed in a matter of fact voice. Yuu and Kimizuki glanced at her in disbelief. The others were both shocked and relieved at this sight. “No hard feelings right? We good?” Briar asked. Yuu and Kimizuki were too shocked for words but only Shinoa chuckled, “Well! Clever girl.” She remarked smugly. There was a sound of glass breaking that made everyone jumped and turned around. But they sighed to see Maggie took a hatchet from the broken glass. “Seriously?! The hell is wrong with you people?” demanded Mitsuba. Maggie looked at with sarcasm and annoyance, “We’re total ‘psychos’—it’s what we do!” And sashayed from the glass pieces. They all faced enemies and they were now walking quite a lot when they stopped at an abandoned tavern. “Let’s take a break here.” Briar stated. “This is a tavern.” Yuu said. “So?” Maggie said, like it wasn’t a big deal. Mitsuba protested: “Are you crazy? We’re under age!” Briar rolled her eyes, “We’re not those kinds of teenagers, relax!” She assured her. “Yeah, we always come prepared.” Piped Lola, “Well…Maggie does! She carries the drinks for everyone. Every kind.” Maggie smiled with confidence as her torso puffed of self-reliance by those words, she tossed her hair back and grinned. “C’mon, got something better to do?” Maggie remarked, walking past the others who followed her. She leaped to behind the bar and sighed as she got some beverages out. She acted like a sexy bartender, trying to be all charming and sweet. “All right kiddies, what’cha havin?” Maggie asked casually. One at a time, they replied: “Orange soda.” Yoichi said meekly. “Seltzer.” Shinoa remarked. “Diet.” Mitsuba answered. “What am I? Twelve?” retorted Yuu. Maggie rolled her eyes, “Regular I have to assume.” She said. She glanced over at Kimizuki, “How ‘bout you, troublemaker?” Maggie remarked. Kimizuki gave a look towards Yuu and pointed at him. “I’ll have what he’s having.” He said. Yuu looked surprised, even Yoichi was amazed. Mitsuba was speechless while Shinoa stifled her laughter! Marina’s eyes widened. Randi put a hand on her mouth. Briar and Lola exchanged grins. Maggie nodded, “That’s a good idea honey.” She said. Briar raised her drink in approval. Yuu glared at Kimizuki, “Copycat.” He remarked. “Shut up.” Kimizuki snapped. “Why would you have the same drink as me?” Yuu argued. “So what? Get over it!” Kimizuki injoined. The two bantered but Briar and Lola watched them speechless. Their expressions changed from inarticulate glances to content. Then, smiles appeared on their faces. Then, the girls giggled quietly until they both laughed out loud! Everyone was taken aback as Yuu and Kimizuki turned to the girls, their heated discussion faded! Briar catches her breath as she said, “Oh my god! Isn’t this déjà-vu?” Lola nodded while sniggering, “So true! Just like, you know--!” She tried to say but the two girls burst out laughing again, guffawing like hyenas. Only the others were perplexed by this, not getting the so-called joke. The funny part was there was no joke to begin with. Shinoa smirked awkwardly but the others still didn’t see the humor. Briar and Lola calmed down, gasping for a mouthful of air. And it all got quiet. With a smug look, Briar said: “Don’t forget—we’re the psychos.” She smiled as she showed her incisors which only Yuu could see that Briar was different. “She’s right, what are we doing here?” Lola retorted with a smirk. Then she stated: “Let’s do something fun.” Briar, Yuu, and Kimizuki exchanged grins with one another. While with Yuu and the others; Briar was giggling to herself when she looked at Kamoku who looked at her funny. “What?” He asked. Briar shook her head, “Nothing.” She said. “You’re weird you know that?” Yuu stated. “I know, but for some reason you and Kimizuki’s bickering reminds me of somebody I know. And he would bicker constantly with someone else.” Briar responded. Yuu laughed at that, “Really? Someone like me? That’s funny.” He said. “I know when I look at you—I think of him. And maybe someday, maybe the two of you will cross paths one day.” Briar answered with confirmation. “Maybe.” Yuu said. They encounter with more monsters of Horsemen of John that there was at least an overwhelming amount however without the Shinoa Squad’s knowledge; Briar used her powers to take them all out! Just then, Shinoa was shouting out Yuu’s name as well as Kimizuki’s name. Briar looked up and saw she Yuu and Kimizuki were being lifted off the ground by Infestations as they were dropped down below. Briar ran over and flew just in time to catch Yuu and Kimizuki! They both are shocked; the two looked up at Briar. She notices and grins at them, the sunlight against her hair which causes the blonde locks and Briar looked like an angel. She placed Yuu and Kimizuki down safely while the gang took down the Infestations! “You sure are brave, Brie.” Yuu remarked. “I’m not always brave; I can be a scaredy cat too.” Briar replied with a shrug. “Yeah right.” Muttered Kimizuki. Ignoring him; Briar looks up as she saw someone standing on the rooftop. “Oh, how touching! That was impressive kiddies.” A voice said. Yuu and his friends were shocked to recognize who that was! “It’s him.” Shinoa articulated. Briar and the other girls were alarmed by this sight of a noble vampire, Crowley. “Uh oh.” Lola uttered. “Not good!” Emily said. “Are you the Devil?” Marina inquired quietly while looking up at their enemy. Aricia smirks, “We’re in soooo much trouble! Let’s hope you guys got insurance—now we begin!” She declared. There were three of them; Crowley and two other female servants: Horn Skuld and Chess Belle. “Well, well, what have we here? You got friends. So, this is the new crowd. I gotta say, you thought this would be the last time you heard of me but you were wrong.” Remarked Crowley. “I think you all will be perfect for our little toys, it would be a shame to see you waste away. Why don’t you come with us?” agreed Horn. Briar glared at them and fakes a smile, “Sorry, ain’t gonna happen!” She retorted. Then she said to the others, “RUN!!!!” And they scampered away. “HEYYYYY, COME BACK HERE!!!!” shouted Chess. But no one dared to stop running! Throughout the time; Briar, Yuu, and Evan ran beside one another. “There’s no way we can shake ‘em, they’re not going to let us go!” said Yuu. “We’ll be fine, Yuu. We’ll be fine.” Briar assured him. “This is insane!” exclaimed Kimizuki. “Yeah, no shit!” Briar remarked. Lola came up to the three as she looked terrified. “Go, go, go, go!” instructed Lola. “Lookin’ at my li’l boots! Gonna keep running, not gonna cry or I will piss myself so bad!” Marina repeated, “They’re my friends! They’ll protect me! They won’t hurt me!” But Maggie retorted, “The boots never protect.” She squealed. “I don’t want to turn around!” Randi wailed. “Oh my god!” whimpered Lola. Briar looked to see the enemy closing in, her eyes bulged in terror. “Awwww, dammit! GO! GO! GO!” She commanded. “No! Nonononononononono!” Maggie cried. “I’m not here! Shoot…Stay. The. Hell. A. Way!” gasped Randi. “Stay away, leave me alone! Leave me and mi amigos alone!” Marina was saying. “Screw this, screw this! Screw this!” Briar chanted. “They see us little piggies!” claimed Marina. “You mean us little marshamallows?” Marina asked meekly. “Ha, they see shit!” Maggie said, laughing nervously. “They’re near, they’re near!” shouted Jade. “Please, no! Please! No, please!” begged Randi. “OWGAWD, THEY’RE BEHIND US! RUN!” Briar exclaimed. “They hide in the trees and bushes! Maniacal assassin monkey ninjas!” Maggie cried. They all hid on a rooftop after Briar helped everyone hide there and managed to stay quiet. Just then, Briar saw Chess was looking around and Briar gasped. “Augh! The vampire chick moved!” Briar said softly. Everyone hid out of sight but peeked out in spite of themselves. “I’m so spooked.” Maggie replied. It was so quiet that nothing could be more scary to say anything. “Da—dee—dum—dum.” Shinoa teased. “No, no ‘da—dee—dum—dum’!” Briar demanded in a low voice. Maggie glared at the retreating figure, she was already shaken in her boots. “I don’t trust you vampire bitch!” Maggie remarked. It got quiet, Briar seems tensed by this Chess chick. “My, she sure knows how to hunt.” Minako said with a smirk. “I ain’t dealin’ with that! I trust none of them!” Randi declared. It got quiet until there was another voice. “Da—dee—dum—dum.” Yoichi teased meekly. “No, ‘da—dee—dum—dum’!” uttered Briar. “I feel my heart beating.” Marina mumbled. “Want to know why? Shameless pluggin!” Maggie remarked with great mischief. Briar narrowed her eyes, “Screw you!” She retorted. “I’m gonna piss myself—so bad!” Randi said. “Are you ready for the piss? I’m not ready for the piss.” Briar replied nervously laughing. Having enough of hearing those two hot head idiots argue while hiding out; Briar is irritated and she stops them by throwing herself at them and pinned them down, despite their complaints she was stern and enraged with great irritation. “End it, now!” growled Briar, to Yuu and Kimizuki and released them while she scolds at them. “I ain’t dealing with you two! Just screw it! Screw it, I don’t care what happens—I do!” Briar said. “So nice you care.” A familiar voice remarked. Briar is shocked as everyone whirled around to see those two noble vampires and other blood sucker Progenitors! “It’s nice to meet you, Briar Devlin.” Ferid said with a sick grin on his face. Briar is terrified, “They know my name! They know who I am! Oh my god!” She thought. “How did they know? How…?” At that moment; Briar could see a vision of Chloe and Mika running, she then spoke out: “We have some powerful help coming to help us. A friend, she’ll save us.” The vampires pretended to be surprise but they knew she was calling out a bluff. “When is she coming?” Chess asked in the most taunting voice. Yuu, his friends, Briar, Randi, Marina, Maggie, and Lola prepared for battle. “Soon.” Yuu stated in confusion. “I always wondered when soon is.” Lacus Welt stated with a smirk on his face. Just then, Chloe and Mika leaped behind him and almost knocked him over as she land on her feet perfectly. All eyes were on her, Chloe cracked a smile: “Have we come at a bad time?” She asked. The enemies were shocked to see her walk about in a casual manner. “You shouldn’t have come here.” A dark haired vampire male name Rene remarked. “We shall take the lives of all your friends.” Horn taunted. “Sounds very dangerous.” Replied Briar. “And so are you.” A voice said. Briar turned around and gasped. Yuu and the others were equally shocked. “Hello Briar Devlin.” Said Ferid. Maggie let out a yelp. They were like a deer in headlights. But Briar and the gang stood their ground, ready to fight. Just then, Shinoa felt someone’s hands on her shoulders and a whisper from behind: “My dear, sweet and lovely Shinoa…I will bring you out from the hands of evil.” Shinoa froze in her tracks. The vampires saw something that shocked them, distracting them while Briar and the others escaped when they weren’t looking however it struck them as odd. Afterwards; Briar, Yuu and the others were contact by a squad as they were being brought to an abandoned building where a squad is already there because someone called for assistance and were investigating a blue colored room. They went into the room while Briar and the others were told to stay back while they investigate. The gang watched the squadron were examining a room and looking around for something. However, Briar felt something was not right. There was a crash sound, startling the other soldiers. They heard a young girl giggling maniacally. The soldiers were frozen in terror and looked around frantically. “Well, Well. It’s the squad that thought they killed us but lo and behold, we are alive!” A voice said that sounded sweet yet malicious. “Wha—how is this possible?” One of the soldiers starts to say.  Another said with a nervous laugh, “Oh c’mon! This isn’t real! It’s just a joke—A cruel and sick prank.” The figure of the girl responds, “A prank you say? This isn’t a joke, this is!” Just then, some sort of telekinetic force caused all the soldiers to die in unimaginable ways. Briar, Yuu, and their friends were shocked by the horrific sight. One was thrown back into a wall; he was impaled by his own weapon. Another was having a knife poised between his teeth, the knife carved a mouth to ear wound before the poor guy was burnt alive! There was the girl’s maniacal giggling as more soldiers died. One was pushed into the water of the room and drowned. The fourth soldier was convulsing so much that he had to end his life. The fifth was suffering the torture of his organs removed and replaced. Then, he got stabbed in the heart. Briar couldn’t believe this was happening, she watched the sixth soldier had a breakdown and pulled out a needle as he smiled maniacally, he looked as deteriorated as he stabbed himself in the back with the needle. He commits hara-kiri, the seventh and the last one stared at the dark figure. She looked up while stammering: “Oh--! W—Who—are you? What the hell are you?” The girl’s tone of voice became menacing, “Who am I? Am I God? The Devil? No, I am vengeance. I am salvation. I am the Reaper, your time is up!” The soldier tries to flee however she tripped. The girl laughs as she remarked, “Aww! Had a nice trip? You had a great big fall, well I guess you can’t get up.” Not sooner she said that, the female soldier’s bones broke. She saw the young teenager girl standing over; the female soldier was so scared. “I’m ashamed of you, trying to escape your death? Sorry, you can’t fight fate.” The girl said, she was wielding a butcher knife. The female soldier was begging for mercy, “Please, have pity! I wish to live! Have some compassion.” She said. The girl was delirious where she exclaims, “You want me to show you some compassion?! HA! The world showed no compassion to ME! Or my sisters! OR MOTHER!!!!” The girl plunged the knife into the soldier’s left eye. The soldier screamed, she suffered of blood loss and died. Briar and the others were sickened by the sight, but the girl noticed them—she smiled wickedly and laughed manically while saying, “Well, well, if it isn’t the Shinoa Squad.” Rosemary tilted her head to the side as she had a crazed look in her eyes. “You’re that girl!” Yuu gasped. “Hello Yuuchiro Hyakuya.” Rosemary greeted. “No, it’s you!” Shinoa gasped, pointing to her. Rosemary slowly smiled, “Yes…It’s me.” She confirmed. She giggled to herself, “I was the one that had been watching you all this time.” Rosemary replied in a creepy monotone voice. Shinoa was trembling in terror. “It is you. I don’t believe it.” She managed to say. Rosemary cocked her head from side to side. “Yes…You all interest me.” She looked around and she then said, “I promise I won’t chew on your bones…I promise I won’t. But when you all die, I want to keep you in glass jars forever and ever…And ever…So start running, kiddies.” Briar and the others managed to get back to the military base as they never forgot what happened to them. As Briar, Yuu, his friends, and Briar’s friends were asleep in the hours of darkness; Briar was awake as she couldn’t get to sleep. But while she watched the others slept, Briar was shocked to see a woman with flowers in her hair and a tattered gown that flowed down her ankles. Her bony-thin hands cascaded in Yuu’s hair in a maternal affection, she did the same towards Kimizuki—it was Ophelia. Briar’s eyes widened and bulged in horror, she wanted to scream but couldn’t for she was so frighten. Rue and Collie ogled at Yoichi as they used their fingers to trace the sides of their faces. Pansy petted his head, cradling him as he slept. “So young, so sweet and innocent…” She muttered softly. And Rosemary just stared at Shinoa, she has a glance of perverse evil on her face. Briar was frozen with fear, she couldn’t let them get to close. So she reached over to Yuu and gently cut a wound in his hand. Blood oozed out but he didn’t stir so Briar dipped her finger into his blood and took a taste where she managed to absorb his power. She used the Cursed Gear and managed to take down Ophelia and her daughters with swift motions as well as trying her best not to wake anyone. But Ophelia was angry that Briar was interfering and was whispering: “They’re mine….All mine…!” Briar smirked, “Like hell.” She declared. She took down the four daughters who were thrown out and Briar kicked Ophelia, who let out a heartbreaking yowl: “WHHHHYYYYYYYY?!” At that instant; Briar managed to get back to her position to sleep before the others woke up; they heard a wail that roused them from their slumber. Randi, Marina, Maggie, and Lola woke up, they were completely spooked. Guren and his squad came in as everyone checked on Briar, but she was sound asleep. This surprised everyone though they were relieved to know she was all right. However, Shinoa was the only noticed fiery feathers from the back of her skin and saw them quivered. Briar pretended to be asleep, she smiled to herself! But also, she was glad that everyone was safe. However she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. Meanwhile; Solo, Guren and his squad were having a meeting with the ruthless, cold hearted leader name Kureto Hiragi who rebukes them of ‘trouble’ within the shadows of the broken city. At that moment that he was talking; the MPD turned on as the image of Yuu went into another room to see something from on the other side of glass of two boys who were really Yoichi and Kimizuki being bound, gagged, and seated in chairs while their legs were shackled. The cruel looking, stoic Kureto gives instructions through an intercom, and stabbing is shown. Later, someone gives the order to release the boys. Guren, his squad, and everyone else were shocked by the sight as they wondered who would videotape this. No one remembered putting on the cameras! And Sylver, who was in the room, was having a nervous breakdown until Solo helps her out of the room. Just then; Rosemary entered the room as her presence caused a stir and dread to the others. Guren and his squad members stiffened by the sight of her. Kureto and Aoi were calmed down but despite this Kureto were shaken a little at the fear of this creepy young girl. He glared at Rosemary who looked around the room, “My, oh my. What a nifty place you have here, my good man.” She replied. “Who are you?” Kureto demanded with a stern gaze. Rosemary turned to face Kureto and glare at him, “You adversary…But, I am no demon.” She remarked. She approaches Kureto, who fires at her. However Rosemary is still alive as she laughs and gives her hair a toss back. Kureto, moving backwards, is angry by this. Rosemary gives Kureto a swinging roundhouse punch to the jaw, that sends him sliding over a table, to the floor and Andrea stood over him. Rosemary held up daggers, showing them with Edom. “Know where I got these? From your guards. Remember? The time you got ‘em to torture poor Yoichi and Kimizuki. You are disgraceful to the human race; you will burn for what you’ve done.” She said. She took the first dagger in her hand and impaled it into Kureto’s shoulder. Kureto grimaced while Rosemary said, “That was for torturing your sister Shinoa, treating her like the black sheep.” The second dagger went into Kureto’s right shoulder, Kureto contorted in pain. “That’s for killing Shinoa’s sister—her beautiful, cunning sister Mahiru. And for severely beating Guren Ichinose.” Continued the vengeful Rosemary. She took out a third and impaled Kureto’s left knee. “That was for Kimizuki, how you sting him.” The fourth dagger plunged into Kureto’s right knee, making him feel the pain. “You—How dare you! Just you wait, see what happens! I won’t forget you, I’ll find you!” He said. Rosemary said, “And that was for Yoichi, you thought he barely felt that? Hell, that pain took so much effect and work for him not to forget.” And the grand finale, Rosemary raised the last dagger as she said: “And after I impale your heart, you’ll never see me again.” Her voice was cold and harsh. Meanwhile; Briar saw all of this and she screamed, “DON’T DO IT, YOU BITCH!!!” The Shinoa Squad glances at her in concern and confusion, Briar’s friends looked on with anxiousness and want to know what was going on in the visions that Briar was having but had to keep their mouths shut. Earlier, Briar was not supposed to reveal her powers. Not yet, not until they recruit these young soldiers. Meanwhile, Rosemary is about to strike when someone stopped her. “Don’t do it, Rosemary” Guren called out. Rosemary look at Guren, “You dare intervene? I will not cease see this man after all the hell he put you all through. You think I cannot end his monarchy of his callous, severe tyranny and let him do as he pleases? You are screwed up in the head!” But Pansy then said, “He has a point, sister. Perhaps we shall see who might be the one to impale his cold and unfeeling heart, gouging it out in his hands. Sure, we could’ve done it ourselves but let the professionals handle it. One day, Kureto Hiragi will no longer be a threat.” She stated while the others were visibly shaken at her words except Guren. Rosemary place the dagger away and she looked down at Kureto, “I’ll let you go for now but the next time we meet. I won’t be so merciful. I won’t rest until I see your pitiless being resort into a pile of blood and guts. Perhaps I’ll drink your blood and eat your guts while chewing your bones of your soon to be corpse.” With that she turned and disappeared. Guren felt himself was shaken from the ordeal but the thought of Rosemary predicting something like this was something out of the question. In the meantime; Kimizuki’s little sister, Mirai, was being held in a room, she was now part of an organization as their new weapon. Just then; Mirai could hear a voice that speaks out: “Such unmannerly savages--look at how they relish you like you’re their property. Mindless ingrates! How they use you, pull your strings for a thrill. Allocating in this life.” Mirai looked around as she responds, “Who’s there? Can you save me? I don’t think it’s possible to leave, I am a prisoner here.” The voice said to Mirai, “My dear…Sweet…Lovely child, you shall be free. Look in front of you, I am there before you.” So Mirai looked and saw a figure before her. She heard the voice said in a very compelling tone and was hypnotized by these words: “I am your Angel of Music, come to me Angel of Music.” The voice said over and over, the guards heard a voice and saw Mirai in a trance as she walks to an unseen figure. They decide to report to commander while the others try to stop Mirai. It was too late; the hypnotized Mirai was now kidnapped by Rosemary and her sisters. The guards could’ve sworn they saw a tattered white gown, a flower crown, and barefooted. “Come my ‘daughter’, I will take you into a world of enchantment and shadows. Fear not, I will keep you safe from who these people are.” She said. She gingerly took Mirai’s hand and vanished. Mirai gripped onto the hand of Ophelia as she, Rosemary, Pansy, Rue, and Collie lead her to subterranean area. They helped Mirai into a gondola. Mirai sat there while Ophelia rowed the gondola with an oar. Rosemary and her sisters sang and dance. The four sisters were in a small circle, fingers entwined and singing: “Ahhhh, Oooooh, Lalalalala…..” Mirai was feeling sleepy, her eyelids felt heavy and darkness enveloped. Mirai was carried to a canopy bed by Ophelia, who tucked the sleeping Mirai into my garden of magic.” Ophelia whispered to her. Mirai fell asleep when all of a sudden, she was surprised to see other children playing and laughing. Mirai looked around while she rises and approaches Ophelia who does not see her. As she reaches for her, Ophelia turns, almost catching her. She finally succeeds in tearing the mask from his face. Ophelia springs up and rounds on her furiously. She clearly sees her face. The other children does not, as she is standing in profile and in shadow. Mirai looked back with a guilty expression, she gave an apologetic look. Ophelia glance at her, her face softened and she reached over as she embraced Mirai. She tells her, “Go join the children, I’ll let you know what we will do today OK sweetie?” Mirai nodded, she went away. Ophelia watched her, she smiled and said: “Can you hear my voice? The children are safe.” For the moment; Briar and the others were still walking about when all of a sudden, the intercom squawked for a moment before Rosemary’s giggle is heard! Briar, Yuu, and the others frozen in their tracks by that laugh. That’s when Rosemary spoke, “Attention to all savages, we have a Code Red. So you see, we have a little sweet girl here that is with us. She’s part of—No. Not anymore, she’s rescued by our sanctuary. And now? Well, she couldn’t be happier.” She then said, “My dear? Would you come over here?” There was shuffling until Rosemary spoke again: “Dearest, would you mind telling the world your name my cutie pie?” There was a short pause when a young girl’s voice ringed out, “Kimizuki…Mirai Kimizuki.”  Kimizuki looked shocked; he quivered in anger and broke down. “No….NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!” Lola put her arms around him to calm him down. Kimizuki was enraged, “That witch, she has my sister! I can’t believe this! I’m going to kill her, I swear!” He exclaimed. “I know, but don’t worry—We’ll find Mirai and we’ll get her back. I promise.” Lola said. Kimizuki trembled a bit but he felt someone beside him, he looked up to see it was Yuu. He had a determined look, “That Rosemary girl won’t get away with this. Don’t give up, all right?” He said. Kimizuki glanced at him, he calm down. However, Andrea added: “Oh, I almost forgot. All you Infestations out there, we have some ‘appetizers’ waiting around the bend. No, not appetizers…The main course!” Briar has a look of dread on her face, “Oh no.” She uttered. Rosemary continued: “Their names are Yuu and Mika Hyakuya, Shinoa Hiragi, Mitsuba Sangu, Yoichi Saotome, and Shiho Kimizuki. They are seen amongst some lovely ladies—Briar and her friends. Hey Brie, you and your bosom buddies keep your teenagers safe!” But then she let out a dramatic gasp, “Oh wait. You already will, have fun.” Briar and the gang were shocked as Rosemary ended the intercom announcement. “She can’t be serious.” claimed Briar. As soon as Rosemary said that, the Infestation—who were under the mind control—attacked Briar, Yuu and the others who managed to fight them off as well as escaped in time. In the meantime; Sylver got her belongings and is about to exit until the driver of the vehicle stops her, “Miss…Listen, I don’t know you nor your past and I have no right to judge any of you for your actions. But at least take my word of advice—be careful around here.” He said. Sylver could stare him confused. She managed to say: “I’ll try thanks.” She closed the door and she was on her way. The driver sped away and was gone. Upon entering the building, Sylver found the interior of the establishment to be much more impressive than they looked. In addition to the establishment; there are apartments, skyscrapers, and other buildings. This place was truly a maze for a new corner and the written assignment she was given, which was barely made by hand, wasn’t much help. Sylver sighed, “What a pain.” She muttered. Just then; Sylver found someone, she wasn’t sure who they were but she called out to them: “Um, excuse me? You there, can you help me with something?” The figure turned, Sylver was lucky to get this guy’s attention as she saw him staring at her puzzled. The guy responded, “Yes?” Briar showed him the map, “Could you tell me where I can find someone by the name of Nar--umi?” She inquired. The guy seems to know, “I think you’re looking him.” He asked. Briar was relieved for having to have asked the right person which will save her and her friends from wasting unnecessarily time. Another guy asked, “You’re heading to find Shinoa and the others? Seriously? Wait, you’re one of the girls must be the ones that Guren mentioned. He called them the ‘Psychos’.” Sylver’s lips curled into a smile, “Guren told you about crazy girls like us, huh.” She said sneakily. The guy just smirked, “Sure did. He was saying how you ladies were the ‘good kind of Psychos’.” He replied. This guy introduced himself as Makoto Narumi.  “Well, Na—ru—mi, as your comrade I’m going to help you take down any enemies if I have to.” Sylver stated. Narumi stared out in terror. “You’re crazy!” He exclaimed. “Can you handle it?” Sylver’s ears perked, “Can I? Sure can cowboy. Me like your loco-motion.” She said. Narumi just looked at her in disbelief. Sylver looks away however she looked up but almost gasps. She saw an image of a figure with a woman in a long dress, flowers in her hair and no shoes on her feet. Sylver was then lured away from Narumi when he wasn’t looking as she found herself in a trance but broke free and was lost however she managed to get back where she and Narumi were. By the time she got back, Sylver found that Narumi was nowhere in sight! “Where were you?” A voice snapped. 

Sylver gasped; she jumped and whirled around to see Narumi’s scowl. Sylver managed to say, “Oh, um, just a walk really. Sorry lost track of time.” Narumi let out an ‘hmph’ and replied in an aloof tone, “Figures someone like you would.” That made Sylver upset by that statement and she was not going tolerate anything by this guy. “What do you mean by that?” Sylver demanded. “Hey, I didn’t mean it like that.” Narumi dissented. “Don’t you even; you don’t know me, I am not lazy!” Sylver exclaimed. “Ugh, that’s not…” Narumi was about to say but Sylver interrupts with anger. “Oh me? What do you think I am? You think I’m slacking? I’m not following up to responsibilities? You think I’m fooling around? I don’t take this whole thing seriously? I don’t know what went on in your life, your measly speck of life but here me when I say I do understand the danger of situations because I’ve been there! I know what tragedy is! I know there are creeps who go and cut up bodies, torture children and all the other shit… I…” Sylver then broke down weeping. She covered her face, “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to say your life was a measly speck. The only life that’s a measly speck is mine!” She managed to say. Narumi felt bad, he sighed and said: “No, it ain’t.” But Sylver wasn’t buying it, “Come on, admit it! I can’t bare myself to be a burden. Oh god...” She replied and wiped her face. “Relax, Sylver. It’ll be fine. You don’t need to be scared.” Narumi assured her. “Scared? Me? I’m not scared; I’m haunted by ‘ghosts’ of the past.” Sylver claimed. She and Narumi are startled to see a body of a soldier dropped to the ground. He was murdered brutally. Narumi was shocked by the stabbing wounds that reminded him of how his squad was taken out! Scared; Sylver was screaming, “SEE, THAT WAS HER!!! IT WAS HER!!! IT WAS HER, SHE DID THAT!!! OPHELIA FURY DID THAT!!!” She continued to chant that as Narumi try to calm her down but the screaming drones on to become an irritation. In his frustration; Narumi shook her while he exclaimed, “Why can’t you be normal? There is no Ophelia Fury!” Sylver turned around, her eyes widened. “GET AWAY!!!” She screamed. Narumi looked around. “GET AWAY!!!” Sylver yelled again. “Sylver?” Narumi asked. “Sylver, stop this!” Sylver panicked, her heart pounding. “Narumi! Help me!” Sylver cried. She turned back to where she was looking at, “NO, YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU HARPY!!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE, GO AWAY!!!” She let out a blood curdling scream before she fell to the ground into frenzied convulsions. Foam at the mouth, her lips is bleeding. Narumi grabbed Sylver and gently shook her. “Sylver? Sylver, answer me! What’s wrong?” He exclaimed. Sylver went into a state of frenzy and Narumi managed to get her help. When Sylver recovered, she and Narumi continued on ahead without being noticed. That’s when they came across an abandoned building with a movie cinema where Sylver and Narumi looked up at a screen of the memories of Yoichi and Kimizuki being tortured while bound and gagged being played out over and over again. Narumi gritted his teeth. “See? There! That’s it! THAT’S IT!!! Sylver exclaimed, she let out a feverish scream, her arms flailing and she couldn’t get the images out of her head. Narumi try to calm Sylver down when she listened to a dark, monotone voice: “Oh Sarge….Narumi… Na—ru--mi!” Sylver is shocked to recognize that voice—Rosemary! Once Sylver calmed down and the screen darkened where she gasped and fainted. When she awoke; Sylver stood on the ledge and balanced herself carefully. Narumi try to calm her down but Sylver called out: “Can’t you see? You can’t get rid of Ophelia Fury!!!” As soon as she said that; Rosemary possessed Sylver and spoke through her with these haunting words: “I’ll wager with you, I’ll make a bet. The more you deny me, the stronger I get. You start to change when we get in. See our power growing right under your skin.” She giggles as she twirls in Sylver’s body, “Oh come now! Come one, come all, come see what’s underneath!” Rosemary stated as Sylver is possessed. Rosemary left her; Sylver nearly fell but was caught by Narumi and he carried her. In the meantime; Briar somehow absorbs Kimizuki’s power as she got a hold of his Cursed Gear as she summoned Kiseki O’s coffin. However, Kimizuki has misgivings on Briar and he & the others follow her but were shocked to witness her using his Cursed Gear. He was shocked by this sight. Briar managed to come across the monsters in this form. After she took down the beasts; Briar ran a hand across the Cursed Gear, which was only temporarily. “Damn, that was so cool.” She said to herself. That’s when she heard someone shouted in her ear: “Ah-ha!!!!” It made Briar jumped and she returns to normal. She turned to see a sneering Kimizuki. “How did you know how to wake the ‘inner demon’ in my Cursed Gear hm?” He remarked. “I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.” Lied Briar brightly. She stumbled away but accidentally dropped the Cursed Gear and gives it back to Kimizuki who gave her a look. Yuu reflected with his own sneer, “You know how to use our Cursed Gear.” He said. Briar’s smile faded, her heart thumped like crazy. Now she was in trouble, maybe she can fight her way out of this. “No, you’re just making shit up.” Briar said. “Oh no, I know what I saw.” Kimizuki confirmed. Briar gulped, “Are you trying to demonize me?” She said in a cold tone. “No, nobody else could’ve caused that but you.” Yuu replied. Briar sighed, hands running through her hair. She was stressed by what was happening. “OK, look. I can explain, I’m not like most girls.” She claimed. Yuu’s face softened, “It’s not that—it’s just that you’re hiding something. Like, you’re holding something back.” He notified. “I’m not.” Briar whispered. “I think you are, isn’t she?” Kimizuki said. “Yeah but we can’t force her to tell us.” Yuu insisted. Shinoa managed to clear things up and Briar was left off the hook, much to her delight! Briar could read Yuu and Mika’s minds as she begins to speculate a subtext of lovers in that relationship: Yuu is waiting for Mika and he’s never going to show up. Yuu can’t fathom the fact that he is now gone and continues to look for signs of his presence. He is now in the sky and as he looked in up he notices the clouds spell his name noticing Mika was still going to be there for her. He looks up to heaven praying for Mika to come back to him. He's counting the days to pass time while he waits for Mika. Yuu may also be making a wish on a passing car and that wish being for him to come soon. Yuu is spending his time with friends to fill the void left by Mika. He is growing continually desperate in his absence. Yuu doesn’t understand why Mika hasn’t come yet. He believes in him and looking for signs that will tell her he is coming soon. Yuu wishes he could be in a world where he would never have to worry about the safety of his friend. Yuu fears for Mika, for he might lose him. He doesn’t care what he’s doing as long as it is with Mika! The same thing goes for Mika: Those people he sees should not be there either, but they are. He blames himself for all he had done. He hears Yuu's voice so he then ran away and now he cries. He’s making a wish, a call for somebody out there and asks them for help to search the ones he’d lost. While he’s searching, he’s fighting with monsters, even though he’s tired and is about to run out of energy. He wouldn’t actually admit it, but he’s waiting for a friend to help him up whenever he falls, but he has to help himself up. Mika knew he can’t keep doing this, he hopes that he will get an answer after he had been through a lot of hell. Nobody should try to make him feel his pain again! He’s still sad about abandoning Yuu. He does want a friend to back him up whenever there are too many enemies for him to handle alone. These humans have to show him that it's not the end and save him, sometimes help him. He sees that everyone stands up together and he smiles because they’re all fighting together! Briar smiles, she seems touched by how close these boys are and vows to protect them as well as the others from the dangers within. 

In the evening; Lola is suspicious of Rosemary and her sisters so she convinces Kimizuki to come with her to find them. Kimizuki reluctantly agrees, however Narumi decides to come with because he wants to find out if Ophelia Fury actually exist as he wants to believe what Sylver claims is the truth. So the three of them ventured out to find an abandoned building where the vampires were being confronted by Rosemary Fury, her sisters—Pansy, Rue and Collie—are battling the vampires while talking them down while Lola, Kimizuki and Narumi stayed hidden during the ordeal as they were lucky the vampires did not suspect them which is surprising. At that point, the vampires apprehend the sisters and sneer at them which worried Lola and the boys. It wasn’t until Rosemary and the other sisters begin to scream like crazy. Then, the next minute happen: Ferid Bathory, Crowley, Horn, Chess, Lacus and Rene turn around in horror to see a woman in a black leather Victorian gown. Alongside the woman were four young girls each wearing red, blue, purple, and pink. “Greetings, have you met our mother?” Rosemary asked while in a red dress. Ferid and Crowley were shocked to see the woman in the black leather gown but it changed to a pink, teal and navy floral butterfly printed dress that exposed her shoulders and no straps. She smiles however her appearance changed: She wore a long strapless black dress with side slits of the gown, pale skin, scraggly black hair, deeply hollow eyes, and black lips. Her flowers in her hair and crown become black locust thorns and bird’s foot trefoil flowers. But there were other flowers too: Blood-flowers, false indigos, delphiniums, orange lilies, marigolds, angel’s trumpets, and belladonnas. “Get away from my daughters, you son of a bitches!!!” She exclaimed. Lola, Kimizuki, and Narumi watched in horror as Ophelia and her daughters are fighting with advanced reflexes and supernatural powers, then they had some sort of petrifying aura surround them as they frightened Crowley, Horn, Rene and Chess were terrified while Lacus and Ferid stared in surprised. The Fury family begins to laugh maniacally at their terror and stunned. Only Lola, Kimizuki, and Narumi could stare in fear by the sight of the unstable daughters and insanely erratic mother! Lola, Kimizuki, and Narumi were so scared that they escaped from the area but not before Ophelia saw them running off! Later on while everyone rested but not Briar as she woke up from a nightmare, Briar saw a shadow and gasped while she saw a piece of paper. She picked it up and opened it, in the message it says: “Wow that looked quite intense. I wonder if you can handle a little more intensity. Please bring those two over and we can have a little fun. Sincerely, Rosemary.” Briar re-read the note as she sighed, she knew this was going to be risky but working with these two wasn’t going to be easy. However, she smiles to herself. She seemed to have something up her sleeve….The next day; Briar, Yuu, and Kimizuki were quietly heading towards the location of where Rosemary and the other sisters were. “This is the weirdest mission to be without the others.” Remarked Yuu. “Yeah, I have to agree on that. So, how come Guren let us go on this mission?” asked Kimizuki. Briar smirked as she said, “’Cause I didn’t ask him.” Yuu and Kimizuki looked at her in surprise, “What?” They both said. They looked at her with double takes before bursting out laughing, even Briar laughed with them. “Damn, he’s gonna kill you!” Yuu said. Briar shrugged, “Screw the rules, we got a flying mouse to catch. And besides, I left him a note. Saying I was taking you boys out.” She remarked. Kimizuki snickered, “Man, you’re evil Briar.” He said. “Takes one, to know one.” Briar commented. They reached to the abandoned building while looking up at it. “So, who’s ready for this?” Briar asked. “She’s in there, isn’t she?” Yuu asked. “Oh yeah, why don’t you step in my liege? Time’s—a—wasting.” Briar said, emphasizing on the words. The trio stepped in where they came across a lot of things that looked unrealistic. There were people murdered and using their wax-coated corpses as they looked to be in agony. While looking at them; one of the statues come to life miraculously and gripped onto Briar’s arm as he shouted chaotically: “HELP ME!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE, PLEASE!!!” Briar screamed, she freed herself as she and the guys got away before they found a different chamber in the abandoned building. Briar and the boys found lots of photos. More rarely, newspaper and magazine articles, time lines, address book information or videos are added. For extra creepiness factor, a couple of half melted candles are strategically located at the base of the shrine. There might also be locks of hair, trash, or other mundane items stolen. She has been stealing numerous artworks connected to love. Since she has a known obsession with Yuu as well as his friends. There's even of other people! There were some others Briar encounters with. As they got closer, they saw murdered bodies in the next room--it was an appalling sight. There they could see Rosemary is behind a back-lighted screen as a man's voice shouted, “PLEASE!!!! DON'T DO THIS TO ME!!!! I BEG OF YOU!!!” Nevertheless there was blood splattering against a wall and the guy lied there pleading but he dies of his wounds. Rosemary appeared on sight, Briar’s stomach clenched. “It’s her!” gasped Yuu. “I know, I know.” Kimizuki said back. It was then Rosemary did a strange dance in the room. She took hold of the waltz position where her left leg straightened as the right bend slightly as she pivoted gracefully, she arched her body backwards and, the next thing Rosemary did was that she spins around to the beat and stopped enough to glanced back at them slyly and has a mischievous grin on her face while Briar, Yuu, and Kimizuki stare at her in horror. Rosemary chases after them when she finally used her telekinesis to knock out all three and smiled darkly at their downfall. Moments later; Briar, Yuu, and Kimizuki woke up to see Rosemary, Pansy, Collie, and Rue standing over them. Then, the three of them felt their arms were bound by a telekinetic force around their wrists as well as suspended up in the air. “What is this? What are you doing to us?” Rosemary explains to the three captives: “You will see the purpose of Mother’s revenge…You will know fear, pain and agony….And writhe like scum you are!!!” Rosemary screamed, her powers caused the trio to react to psychic torment and they were shouting in agony as well as begging for mercy. During this process, Rosemary and Pansy are successful for breaking the minds of Briar, Yuu, and Kimizuki. Thus, they are taking control. Briar, Yuu, and Kimizuki's minds are assaulted with painful, horrifying visions, and their will broken. Briar, Yuu, and Kimizuki were screaming from the painful memories inside their heads. Rosemary giggled at their suffering while she watched them writhed. “It’s quite like your life almost Briar, since what you are and what your father did to you. It’s not every day we get to meet a new member of the family.” Remarked Rosemary, “We are alike and I feel that even if we are not related, we know each other so well.” Briar was pissed as she and the other two boys managed to get back to the ground. Rosemary and her sisters looked back with horror across their faces. “YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ME!!!!” Briar screamed hysterically. Rosemary & Pansy are shocked of what they were seeing before them as well as Yuu and his friends. Lola, Randi, Maggie, and Marina are in total shock and dreaded of this situation. Briar’s eyes looked while, her hair was untidy. Her hands balled into fists. "You are so cold! You are heartless! You don't know me. The only way you know how to treat people is by treating them like monsters! Well, you're the monster! And that is gonna stop! You get it? You get what I'm saying? Hmm?" She said. Pansy could see some sort of fiery rage from inside of Briar, she then said: “We’re sorry…I’m sorry…” She sounded like she meant it! Briar laughed at her, “You?! Sorry?” She then snarled out, “You think you can mess with my life?! Well, I got news for you, bitches! I'm coming for you all. And then I'm coming for Ophelia! And you can pass that along! TO YOUR MOTHER!!!!!” Her powers were out of control! Rosemary and Pansy begins to get scared, Rue and Collie were screaming as well as babbling incoherently. Yuu, Mika and the others were terrified. It wasn’t until Lola stepped in and stopped her best friend! “Brie, please stop! Don’t do this!” She begged. “THOSE BITCHES, THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT I’VE DONE, WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH OR ANYBODY ELSE!!!!” shrieked Briar in a panic-stricken voice. However she calms down by a voice from above that says, "Briar...Please, calm your mind...Your temper...Everything will be all right." Briar felt at ease and passed out. 


Once she recovered; Briar learns what happened and feels guilty, she knew she must have scared everyone but she made a vow to herself: “I promise, I promise I’ll protect everyone. Nobody is going to die at all. Never ever.” Later; Briar receives a slap from Guren. The force of the slap hit her with force, but Briar knew she deserved that for lying and not telling Guren about the particular mission! “That was the biggest mistake of your life, going against my orders like that.” Guren reprimanded her. Briar nodded, “I know.” She said. “Did you? You put your comrades and yourself at risk, you would’ve been killed! What were you thinking?!” Guren demanded. “I thought I could handle it, I was trained to deal with situations like these!” claimed Briar. “Not alone, you don’t!” Guren pointed out. Briar gave Guren a look, “Well, what would you do if your comrades weren’t around? I thought I could protect them! Sorry, I got careless!”  She stated. “You did! What the hell? Who do you think you are to be doing this? You expect me to feel sorry for you? Oh poor Briar, she needs a little sympathy!” Guren said. Briar rolled her eyes with a sigh, “I never asked for sympathy.” She said. “But you just want the attention for yourself!” Guren indicated. “That’s not true!” objected Briar angrily. “Your ego got the best of you and almost got you killed!” mentioned Guren. “I was too overconfident, I’m only human for Pete’s sake. What about you? You got an ego yourself don’t you? You try to act brave and strong but it’s not going to help you when there’s death all around. You act you don’t care but you do.” Briar claimed. This astonished Guren, he narrowed his eyes at Briar, “What do you know about me?” He queried.  Briar smiled, “Everything.” She said. Guren leered at her, “Oh yeah, like what? Tell me something you know about me.” He asked. Briar smiled, “Like…You try to play the aloof, cold hearted bastard but your intentions are good. You are one of the best but there is a few questions…How much do you care about your ‘family’? Your surrogate sons and daughters?...How much do you love Mahiru Hiragi?” She asked. Guren looked at her with a stunned expression, “What?” He questioned. Briar continued: “You loved her since childhood? Your first kiss right? And you also did something with more than just a kiss.” Shocked expressions all around, Guren was shaken in fear. “You don’t think I know your love for her, she came from a cruel family that she despised so passionately but she adored her little sister. I know it was Kureto that did the dirty deed, you didn’t do it. It was him, wasn’t it?” Briar ranted. “Shut up.” Guren said in a hushed tone however Briar proceeds to speak to, “She’s not really dead is she? She’s alive and she possesses you. And you’re letting her do this, why? Because you…love her. You still do, even the monster she’s become. Even before she became part of that weapon of yours, you told her that you still love her even if she had a demon within her body.” Guren thought he was going to bust a blood vessel in his brain, “What?!” He gasped. “You loved her but she did everything to be closer to you, she doesn’t want any man or woman to be near you. She wanted you all for herself; she never wanted Shinya or any other swooning girl to be near such a man like yourself. Your body, mind and soul are all hers.” Briar ranted, speaking on Guren’s fears and insecurities. Horrified by this; Guren had his hand on his Cursed Gear, “Tell me, Briar Devlin, you can read minds can’t you?” He said deeply. Briar grinned, “I can read everyone’s thoughts…Surprise!” She said. Everyone stared in shock but the silence broke by Shinya laughing. He regained himself saying, “Well, well. Who knew! She knows all our secrets. We’re exposed now.” Briar laughed with him, “Now, now. Your secrets are safe, I won’t tell anyone.” She reassured the others that looked very mortified however she added: “But I will say this, you guys care about each other. The reason why I’m saying this is because my friends and I are agents of Evermore.” Shocked expressions were around, except Guren and Shinya. “We know.” Guren said, “Solo told us.” Briar nodded, “I’d figured.” She replied. Then; Briar told them what was going on in DWC and the catastrophe however Yuu, Mika, Guren, Shinya, and the Shinoa Squad join the agents of Evermore. “I’ll have to warn you, this is not going to be easy. You do realize that right?” Briar asked. Yuu and the others smirked at her, before Yuu said: “Hey, we’ve dealt with worst.” He seemed so confident, Briar lent out her hand in a daring attempt to look sinister, “Very good Yuuchiro Hyakuya, welcome to my world.” She said dramatically. Yuu grinned, he shook her hand and the deal was struck. Guren then pulled Briar aside to tell her something. Briar was confused but was obedient. “Promise me one thing, Briar…when I’m not around, when we are out into war…that you will look after Yuu…Look after Shinoa…look after them all.” Guren whispered. Briar nodded, “I promise.” She said softly. After writing all that; Katherine vowed to make it official soon enough. And she will not let people tell what to do or not do ever again.
