E'Calypso Wanderlust

This project was inspired by the animes I've seen in my childhood and my preteens, as well as my teens.  I hope you guys like it! 

Years ago….
The flames were everywhere of their once beloved village. The people watched with fear, a little girl had tears in her eyes, “Daddy! Where’s Daddy? I want to see Daddy!” The girl said. She was attempting to go in the inferno village but the others restrained her. “I’m sorry sweetie, but you can’t.” said a woman. “Daddy--!” The little girl protested. A man put a hand on her shoulder and smiled with reassuring. “Don’t worry, my dear. I’m sure he’s all right.” He said. “Everyone!” A voice called out. “The boats are here, let’s go!” Immediately, the people ran to the docks and onto the boats. “But what about Daddy?” The little girl begged. “Honey, the fire is getting closer. We have to go right now!” commanded another woman. She got the little girl on the boat. The men got the flag up and the engine starting, the boat start sailing away from the village but the little girl would not give up. She was about to get out of the boat and in the flaming village however other people held her back. The girl kicked and cried out, “You’re leaving Daddy behind! Why are you leaving him behind?” All of a sudden, there was a huge eruption and the village exploded. There was a red, orange, and black big cloud. Tears streaming down the little girl’s face: “Daaaaaaaaddddddddddyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!” She screamed. 

The little girl sank to the floor and cried. The people looked at her, feeling guilty. Anguish filled them. The poor girl, they should’ve listened, they should’ve waited! They should’ve gone back to rescue those who could have been still alive. But they didn’t, their fear made them panicky, and they ran from the fire.That burning fire could scorched anything and everyone. Nobody knew who started the fire, this was no accident. Someone intended to start that fire. What kind of monstrosity would do such damage to their village? The little girl’s father, he was the Chief. Chief Prospero. He was dead. The Chief died in that explosion. The Chief’s daughter just lost her father, that poor girl. Her name is Calypso. And she was very angry, why couldn’t they wait? Why were they afraid? And more importantly, who started that fire? Did someone in this village started this fire? No, the people of the village loved the Chief, nobody had a grudge against him. Whoever burnt her village and killed her father; they won’t have any mercy from her. She vows to get her vengeance on who is responsible. 

Years later in modern era
A young boy was standing on the ledge, the ledge crumbles under from him and he falls into this supermassive black hole. The hole has a light brightens up and he saw demonic monsters. But then the boy turns into a magician with fire coming from his hands and he burnt the monsters! Someone calls out his name, “Miko? Miko, Miko. Miko!” “’Ay-yah!” The boy exclaimed. Mikado Kunshu, he is 15 years old with dark brown hair and scarlet red eyes. The person calling him was his mother Amaterasu, his father Tenno was in the drive's seat, and Mikado’s little brother. They were in the car, driving from their hometown to a new place. “Wake up, Miko. You were talking in your sleep again.” His mother said. Mikado clutched his head, “Sorry, I just had a horrible nightmare.” said He said. “This storm, son. It’s making you have bad dreams lately.” His father replied. The driving was silent except for the radio, “…weather forecast of rainstorm showers but tomorrow is going to be sunny tomorrow….” “So, Mom? Dad? Any chance I can try out for soccer?” asked Mikado, hopefully. “Hmm. That depends on the weather, Miko.” said his father, not paying attention to the radio. “Oh, don’t be silly honey! There will be sunshine tomorrow, so we’ll be sure to take you there tomorrow.” said his mother. Mikado looks at his mother funny, “Um, did you forget dad? Tomorrow is my first day of school, remember?” He reminded. “After, Miko. After.” assured his mother. 

The early bell rang, 15 year old Susanoo Mikoto begin running down the empty halls, he was wearing a schoolboy uniform of long pants and a buttoned shirt. “C’mon, c’mon. I can’t be late. I know I can’t be late but what else can I do?” He thought. But when he got inside, he found himself lost and not knowing where else to go. “Ohhhhkaaaaayyyy, where do I go?” thought Susanoo. He felt agitated, “Where am I supposed to find Class 1A?” He cried. “What, you weren’t given a tour? A schedule?” A voice asked in a snarky tone. Susanoo turns around to see Mikado with a schoolboy uniform.  “Yeah, been there—done that pal. I’m Mikado Kunshu.” He remarked. “I’m Susanoo Mikoto.” said Susanoo. Mikado looked at him with narrowed eyes, “Susanoo, huh. Looks like someone’s on a bad start on their first day.” He turned around and walked away with a half-hearted wave. “Later.” He confessed. Susanoo watches him go, “What’s with him?” thought Susanoo and then he walked to find his first class. In the meantime, later, the last class bell rings as students exited out of the classroom. 15 year old Tomoe Gozen trudged out, looking all red faced. She was slender, pretty, and she wore a schoolgirl uniform with a buttoned shirt with a skirt. A tall, leaned muscular boy with golden blonde hair was behind her and put his arm around her. This guy was 16 years old Kintaro 'Kintoki' Sakata, a smirk was on his face. “You did it again, Miss Gozen.” He laughed. Tomoe put her face in her hands, “Ugh, please don’t repeat it.” She moaned. “What’s going on?” A timid voice asked. It was a 13 year old boy name Momotaro Sakata, he was Kintoki's little brother. A boy with light brown hair young teenager. Blue eyes. Fair skin. 

“Tomoe had once again has charmed the tomatoes out of the teacher.” Kintoki nudged at him, gesturing towards Tomoe who looked annoyed at this. Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro are walking and talking but saw Susanoo unchaining his bike. Tomoe smiled, “He looks unfamiliar.” She thought. She walked over to him. Kintaro looks up in surprise to see this pretty girl approaching him. “You’re new in town, right?” Kaguya asked. “Yeah, I am.” Kintaro replied. Kaguya lent out her hand, “My name’s Tomoe Gozen, this is Kintaro Sakata and his little brother Momotaro.”  She said. Susanoo shook her hands, “Hi, I’m Susanoo Mikoto.” He said. TakemKintoki noticed Mikado, who was getting his bike. “Hey man, what’s up?” He called out. Mikado gives him a look, “What’s it to you?” He said harshly and rode away on his bike. Susanoo, Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro watched him go with offended expressions. “What’s with him?” asked Kintoki. “Hmph, what a jerk!” Tomoe scoffed. She turns back to Susanoo smiling but then she remembered something, “Say, are you coming to the prom?”  asked Tomoe. Susanoo’s eyebrows raised up, “Oh, the homecoming prom? When is it?” He inquired.  “Tonight.” Tomoe replied. “You’ll be there, right? Maybe we could meet as a group.” “Yeah, it’ll be a good time man!” Kintoki agreed. “It’ll be fun.” Momotaro put in timidly. Susanoo nodded, thinking about the tuxedo he wore last year at his school prom. Maybe he could use that. “Yeah, I think I got a good tux that still fits.” said Susanoo. Tomoe giggles, “Sweet! See you then." She waves Susanoo goodbye as Susanoo does too. In the meantime, Mikado was riding his bike, he was thinking about going to the dance but he was unsure. 

At the prom; Susanoo entered the entrance and looked around for Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro. "I wonder if they lead me on...." He thought, as he wandered through the crowds. That's when he heard it: "Susanoo!" Tomoe in her rose dress, which showed off the shoulders and her hair in a bun as she waved happily towards him. Kintoki and Momotaro look good in their tuxedos, who waved at him too. Susanoo smiled, "Hey guys!" He said, walking up to his new friends. "We're so glad you could make!"  Tomoe squealed with delight. "Me too." answered Susanoo. Tomoe turned to a bunch of girls, there were five nice girls. "Oh, Susanoo! I want you to meet some sweet, pretty girls." She said. Gesturing to each of them, she started the introduction. "I like you to meet Benzaiten Burondo--" She pointed to the blonde haired girl. "--that is Kisshōten Burūno --" She pointed to the brunette haired girl. "--that is Toyotama Ruso--" Tomoe pointed to the red haired girl. "--her sister, Tamayori--" She pointed to the short red head. "--And that is her best friend, Uzume Shiawasena." Pointing to the brown haired girl. Tomoe turned to the girls and said, "Ladies!" And back to Susanoo, "This is the nice new kid, Susanoo Mikoto." She finished. Nice? Wow, for a girl, that's so kind of her to say about him. The girls smiled in delight. "Hi Susanoo!" They chorused. On the other side of the prom, Mikado was looking over as he seemed lonely. He really didn't have a date. But he really didn't do well with others. Not since back at his home. 

Just then, there was loud thunder above the school that clapped so loud that the students jumped. Then a horrible wind has broke into the gym as the students and teachers were in terror as they ran. "C'mon! We gotta get out of here." called Susanoo. "Right!" agreed Kintoki. Suddenly, by surprise, he gets caught in the storm. "HELP, SOMEBODY!!!!" He cried. "SUSANOO!" screamed Tomoe, but she too got caught in the storm. One by one Mikado, Kintoki, and Momotaro got caught in the storm. Just then, each of them were glowing different colors: Susanoo glowed red, Mikado glowed whitish blue, Tomoe glowed teal (green and blue), Kintoki glowed green, and Momotaro glowed silver. Once then, they were given each powers: Fire, water, ice, earth, and air. They wake up in a world that wasn't their own. A woman was making some tea, her back towards them. She was wearing a kimono, her hair in a bun of a geisha. "Hello?" Susanoo called. The woman in the kimono turned around, her face was a kind woman.  She smiled at them as a sign of greeting. "Welcome. I thought maybe I gather you all together with me. My name is Himiko, and I am the Wise Woman. I have brought all five of you to tell you that you are the New Tarocchi Arcanum. You see, a girl name Kaguya Okina--She is a priestess who is destined to bring peace however she cannot do it without your help. She is being held by Ravana as his slave. She is forced to be a toy to her so called master. I have chosen all five and Calypso to go and save her."

"What role do we have of this rescue mission?" Susanoo asked. His friends looked at one another with confusion. "To comprehend, you are given different roles of your own alter egos. These egos are based on the selected tarot card that I've chosen. For each and every one of you." Himiko said. She walks around as she first goes to Momotaro. "You, Momtaro, are Thoth the Angel who wields the wind of air." said Himiko. Momtaro looked surprised by this. Himiko smiled and turned to Kintoki, who blushed. "As for you, Kintoki, you are Diespiter the Emperor. One who wields the Mother Land of earth." said Himiko. Himiko looked over at Tomoe, "Tomoe here, is Aurora the Chariot. The sea-maiden who calms the oceans, waves, lakes, and pools of the beautiful aqua called water." She replied. Tomoe beamed, proud to hear this. Himiko glanced at Susanoo and said, "Mikado, you are Heyoka the Jester. He who calms Jack Frost's ice." Mikado raised an eyebrow at her. Susanoo looked up, "What about me?" He asked. Himiko gestured to the fireplace and she commanded, "Look here, touch the flames." Susanoo gulped, he stepped over and reached his hand in but his palm didn't burned. They did move around with the flex of his fingers, his friends were amazed by this. Susanoo is shocked by the power bestowed on him. "Whoa..." He gasped. "Susanoo, you are Hermes the Magician, the sorcerer who controls the flaring flames of fire." Himiko explained. "Do you understand now? The first task is to head to the beach but, not to have any amusement but you must find a mysterious girl of the waters. She is Chief Prospero's daughter, Calypso. People had brushed her off as an urban legend, a fairy tale, or a myth but she does exist. And she will lead you to victory to save Kaguya." She vanished and then, the others woke up to see that everyone is safe. They wondered if it was a dream however they were shocked to see that their powers are real, the five of them know what they have to do! 

Underwater was so beautiful for Tomoe, the blue was so wonderful and clear. But she had to focus, she had to remember what she came here for. She looked in the sand, she looked among the fishes, she looked in the coral, she looked in the seaweed but she found nothing! With a sigh, which her sigh formed a single bubble from her breath mask and she swam up to the surface. Gasping for breath; Tomoe took off her mask and snorkel gear. She takes off her fins as she reveals wearing her bikini. Tomoe went back to her friends with a disappointed look on her face.  “Did you find anything?” Susanoo asked. Tomoe shook her head sadly, “No, not really.” She said. “What do you mean ‘not really’?” demanded Mikado. Tomoe shot a glare in his direction with her eyes, “Hey, give me a break. I looked everywhere. Nothing, nada, zip!” She snapped. Susanoo shook his head, “This can’t be right, there should be something. Someone….” He said as he looked at the map. “Maybe it’s the wrong area.” Kintaro suggested. “No, these are the right coordinates.” insisted Susanoo. Mikado let out a sigh, he dropped on his knees as he buried his head for one second, and looked up with irritation. “We’re wasting our time looking for a mythological person that doesn’t exist.” He complained. “I know she exists, I know she does!” Susanoo declared as he folded up the map. Tomoe sat in a mermaid position on a rock and looked among the blue sea. “Got any better ideas?” She asked. Nobody didn’t realized that a figure was swimming up to the surface. There was bubbles that the gang can see from shore.

Tomoe was the first one to notice, “What is that?” She asked. The others gathered to see what she was pointing at. “Is it…Ohhhh…” Susanoo asked. “No, could it be?” Mikado muttered. They watched in mixed feelings of amazement and fear as a figure emerged from the deed, a young lady it looks like. She had a curvaceous figure, ivory white skin, straight black hair that covered her face. She wore a black bandeau top that revealed her midriff and matching pants that reached down towards her knees. When the girl removed the hair from her face; she revealed her face. Beautiful, dark brown eyes, small nose, and glossy black luscious lips. Mikado approached the girl as he said to her softly, “Hey, you OK?” The girl replied back in a creepy monotone,  “Fire. Who started the fire?” Mikado looked at the others with a perplexed look. “What fire? What are you talking about?” He asked. “Fire, I see fire.” said the girl. “What?” Mikado asked as he leaned closer. The girl seized Mikado by the neck and they fell into the water. “Oh man, Miko!” Tomoe shouted. The girl tries to drown Mikado but he breaks free and swims, he gasped for breath. He dragged the girl away, the girl released her grip from him and ran away. “She’s getting away!” Kintoki cried. “After her!” Mikado called. They chased after the girl however they paused for a breath and they lost sight of her. “What happened?” Momotaro asked. “We lost sight of her.” Susanoo replied. “What?” Momotaro asked in disbelief. “She was too fast!” Kintoki called. In anger, Mikado kicked a tree as she was distressed over their failure. “Dammit! She got away!” Mikado cursed.

In the meantime; Calypso ran from the beach of her pursuers, she looked back to see nobody was following her. Calypso begin to relax, as she walk ahead. She found herself in a city and looked around to see the sights. She had never seen tall buildings in all her life, for she lived in a village. In the mirror; Calypso’s hair is now side swept, cascading down her slender shoulder on the left. Calypso hide in an abandoned warehouse as she sleeps on the cold floor for tonight. She falls asleep as she remembers her past as a child: She remembered that she was a little girl, on a canoe and heading towards a place. Her father is with her, who is rowing the oar of the boat. "Father, where are we going?" asked Young Calypso. Her father turned to her with a smile, "My daughter, I am taking you to see the wise Gran Dame. You will talk to her alone about anything you wish." said Chief Prospero. "Anything?" Little Calypso asked. "Anything you want, E'Calyspo." said her father. E'Calypso was Calypso's nickname because Calypso's beauty was described as 'mysterious as the solar eclipse' and her favorite dessert is eclair. They got closer to the little house by the lake. The canoe reached to shore as Calypso gets out as she looks at her father, who nods in encouragement. Calypso heads up the steps, to the house, and noticed the door is opened. So she goes in as she looked around but stops when she saw a tree. The tree came to life with eyes and a mouth. It smiled at Little Calypso, who looked startled. "Do not be afraid child, I am the Great Gran Dame. You must be the chief's daughter." said the Woman in the Tree. Calypso looked surprised, "You know my father?" She asked. Gran Dame laughed, "Of course I know your father. Everyone knows the Great Chief Prospero." 

That night, Calypso  managed to get back to the land, to look for the people she encountered earlier. But when she got through the forest towards the beach, it was already vacant and getting dark. She was wondering when she was hand gagged from behind. “Gotcha! Can’t get away this time.” Susanoo said with a leer on her face. Calypso struggled, muffling but she thought she heard snickering from behind. Cold anger kicked in as she somehow she was glowing and she broke free from Susanoo’s grip and let out a screeched. Susanoo and Mikado fell to the ground as they look up in horror to see Calypso's eyes glowing blue. Susanoo is frightful, "I'm--I'm sorry!" He stammered. Calypso clenched her fist tightly. "All I want is to be alone." She said with despair in her voice. Susanoo scrambled to his knees, "I know, but we just want to know who you are. Are you Calypso?" He asked. Calypso eyed him carefully, "Why do want to know about that?" She inquired. "People have been talking about you. They brush you off like your a myth but I know you're real." Susanoo explained. Calypso looked at him coldly, "People--filth! Lies!! You're all alike." She shouted. "I'm not like that! Yeah, there are people who are vile but I--I mean, my friends and I are not like that. And I'm sorry, my excitement got the best of me, forgive me. But what is your name?" Susanoo said. Calypso looks at him, she was quiet for a moment before answering. "Calypso. Calypso Atlas." She replied. "I'm Susanoo and this is my...friend, Mikado." Susanoo said, gesturing to Mikado. He didn't necessary think of Mikado as a 'friend' but he rather cut to the chase rather than talk all night. "Listen, we need your help on rescuing a priestess. You think you can help us?" Susanoo asked. Calypso listen to the situation, she thought about doing good deeds but she also wants to find the people who killed her father and burned down her village called Ogygia. 

Kaguya's schedule as a harem slave girl went like this: Kaguya would be woken up early in the morning by the other female servants and went to practice the dances for the evening's entertainment. When that was done; She was bathing in the showers, dressed carefully, and fed breakfast. In the afternoons, Kaguya was to serve meals and beverages to her master before she could eat food herself. Once lunch had cleared; She would sit as her master's prized treasure while her master resume to conduct business with clients who would be allured or distracted by her being there. Or prisoners would be tormented by the master while being sentenced to death. During those businesses; The master smokes his hookah as he caressed her. Later, the other guards and servants would take a siesta. Kaguya was nap against her master's throne. Once in the evening, Kaguya wakes up, showered, and be made up for preparations of tonight's amusement. At supper; Kaguya, again, serves food and drinks to her master before she could eat. After dinner, the entertainment begin in a strident matter full of gambling and music in the air. Kaguya was expected to dance with the other female servants until her master could retreat to his bedroom, where he would wait for Kaguya's company. Before entering her master's quarters; she was bathed and embellish by fragrances that smelled wonderful. After her master enjoyed her company; she was to fall asleep beside him, until morning came again. 

All her life of doing this, she was forced to do these against her will. And if she ever refuses, then she would be killed. She cried after all of pleasing her master. Kaguya wants to be free, she abhorred violence. Violence wasn't the answer but she was tired of being distressed and not strong enough to fight back. Why can't she? What if she brings violence? She couldn't. And she was tired of sleeping. That nightmare, with the rabbits. She dreamed of rabbits: She dreamt of the White Rabbit, following the adorable White Rabbit who was trotting and hearing the words 'I'm late, terribly late for an important date!' She saw the March Hare, acting barmy as usual. But then, the dreams become dark when there were more rabbits out there: The eyes of the rabbits became red and then it shows horrifying images. Rabbits are slaughtered, there are some with blood coming out of their mouths. "The meadows...They're caked with blood!" She dreamed of running but she trips and falls down a rabbit hole. She is being clawed and bitten by the undead rabbits. Some of them have anthers, some have horns and fangs. 

By the time she woke up; Kaguya was covered in sweat. She didn't know what this means and it was scaring her completely. All she ever wanted was to be rescued and to bring peace. Who would save her now? Little did she know that one champion and five warriors are going to rescue her. One day, it happened--She is rescued! Kaguya was working in the palace however she was sick of all this and took a stand by refusal however her master was about to kill her when Kaguya cringed away when her heart glowed and a burst of power killed everyone in the palace, including her master. When Kaguya looked around and saw what has happened, she freaked out. Then, a mysterious boy appears. It was none other than Mikado himself, he looked over at Kaguya in her skimpy, provocative outfit.  "This is the priestess I have rescue?" Mikado said, harshly. "Tch, how pathetic!" Kaguya looked up at Mikado with sad eyes, "Please, help me." She begged. Mikado looks away, "Sorry, I don't save impuissant priestesses." He remarked. Kaguya begin to cry, "Help me. I beg of you!" She sobbed. Mikado looked at her, he looked around and saw the dead people. "Did you...do all this?" Mikado asked. Kaguya trembled with fear, she looked around and cowers of anguish. "I--I don't know..." She answered timidly. Mikado glanced at her and then he said as he outstretched his hand, "Come on, let's get out of here. I know a place where I can keep you safe." Kaguya gazed up at him, she was amazed that he was coming to free her from the cage she was living in all her life. She took it and smiled at him with gratitude as her journey of peace shall continue.

"So, you were kidnapped and forced to be a slaved by a 'monster' who was your master. He made you wear that getup, but if you refused he'd killed you." Mikado said. He was standing outside of the dressing room while Kaguya was getting changed. "Yes. It was awful. Oh! Before I forget, thank you for rescuing me." answered Kaguya. "Tell me something, Priestess, what is your task anyway?" asked Mikado. "I am to bring peace to Ogygia Village." She said, then the doorknob turned and Kaguya stepped out. "So...How do I look?" inquired Kaguya. Mikado looked over as his eyes widened slightly; Kaguya was wearing a tunic top which the sleeves reached to the elbows and almost to her wrist. She wore a long skirt that reached to her ankles and flat slippers. She wore a crown halo around her head. For a moment, Mikado thought she looked like an angel. But he got a grip on himself, "Why aren't you showing any flesh?" He asked. Kaguya looked at her outfit, "It's modesty. The priestess is forbidden to show any naked skin." She explained. "Pfft, well! You sound like a virtue with a chastity ring." Mikado remarked. Kaguya looked down but she said out loud, "I didn't have any--relations--" She blushed, "--with anyone." finished the priestess. Mikado turned away, but he muttered: "Loose perjurer." Kaguya heard him, staring at him. She pretended to not hear that however it wasn't true and it hurt. But they walked back to the group's hideout. While closing in on their hideout; Mikado turned to Kaguya with a glare. "Listen, this team is under absolute secrecy. You can't tell anyone of anything about us. We clear?" He warned. Kaguya nodded, "I won't, I promised." She said. "Promise?" Mikado asked. "I solemnly swear." vowed Kaguya. Mikado nodded, "All right, let's go." He said. They entered inside as Kaguya couldn't help but noticed how dark it was, "Why is it so dark in here?" She asked. 

"We're just entering in here." Mikado said, sounding a little irked. They reached the inside from the tunnel like entrance. Kaguya gasped when she saw lights of Chinese lanterns. "Oh my...It's so beautiful." She breathed. Unknown to them is a figure in the shadows, who was creeping behind them and seized Mikado from behind. "Ah-ha!" cried the person. Mikado shoved him away to glare him, "Susanoo, you son of a bastard! What you trying to do? Kill me?" He demanded. Susanoo puts his hands up in defense,  "Sorry, trying to be funny." He assured. "You won't be trying to be funny if she gets hurt." Mikado snapped, gesturing towards Kaguya who looked shy. Susanoo glanced at Kaguya, "Wow, cute. Wait, is this--?" She asked with glee. "Yes, it's the priestess. Kaguya Okina." replied Mikado, annoyed. "No fooling? Hello, Lady Priestess!" Susanoo answered. Mikado looked at this, he turns away. "Huh." He muttered. Kaguya was all eyes on Susanoo, "Magnificent..." She whispered. "Huh?" Susanoo asked, confused. Kaguya realized what she was doing, "Oh, um. The lanterns! I admire the lanterns, their quite splendid." She said quickly. Susanoo looked at the lanterns with a grin, "Thanks, this was all Momotaro and Tomoe's idea. They had a good choice in decoration." He said. "They have." agreed Mikado. They went to the elevator to the gang room. Kaguya looked shameful, "I apologize, it was wrong of me to come since now I know your..." She said. Susanoo put a hand on her shoulder, "No way, Miss Priest! You are accepted gladly from where we are. It's just..." He glanced over at Mikado, who had his back turned and whispered, "...Some people are on the defensive." Kaguya stifled a laugh, Mikado was irked. "Tch!" was all he could say. In time short, Kaguya got to meet the others: Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro. But when she saw Calypso, she was in disbelief stunned. 

"You, you are Calypso! The singer!" Kaguya exclaimed. Everyone else looked shocked, "The what?" asked Kintoki. "Yes, she was a singer. A singer songwriter, if I recalled." Kaguya said. The others looked over at Calypso, "So, you are a singer." said Susanoo. That wasn't a question. Calypso looked away, blushing. "Yes." She answered. "How?" Now this was a long time but Calypso decided to tell her story: "Um, I adore music. Music is great to listen to, I took voice lessons when I was a child and learned how to sing. I studied music and study singers I admired. I wrote music and always daydreaming about singing in front of thousands of people. Then, I auditioned at karaoke and someone saw me so they offered me to sing at this one place. And when I got there, I sang but I was criticized badly. So, that left me down however someone from that place contacted me and we made a deal, so I self managed with myself in singing." She looked as everyone seemed fascinated. "What inspired you to become a singer? What did you listen to?" asked Tomoe, interested in to know about her. Calypso's face was rosy pink to red but she managed to talk, "As a kid, I listened to artists like Bebe Rosado--The pop star, Astrithr, Abigail Dawn...There was Vanishing, man! Rochelle McQueen sings like a siren by the sea...." She knew it would take all day. "Um, would you like to hear one of my songs?" asked Calypso, changing the subject. Everyone nodded, "Yeah, sure." replied Tomoe. So, Calypso sang the first lines of "Mad Ballad of Ophelia". "How can you tell the difference between your true lover and some other? Your true one wears a pilgrim’s hat and a pilgrim’s sandals and staff. He is dead and gone, lady, he is dead and gone. At his head is a patch of green grass, and at his feet there is a tomb stone. Oh, ho! His death shroud was as white as snow, Covered with sweet flowers, which did not fall to the ground. In true-love showers." She stops and looks at the others, "So...What'cha think?" asked Calypso nervously. The others applauded, they were impressed by how talented Calypso is. Calypso was so thrilled that she took a bow, she felt like she can do anything. The next day, Mikado is walking to school. He walks past the students and came across Susanoo. "Hey." He said. Susanoo looked up in surprise, "'Hi' me?" He asked. "Uh, hello. How are you?" "Fine. Listen, I want to apologize for the first day and after. I guess I can be antisocial." Susanoo said. "Oh..thanks!" said Susanoo, surprised that Mikado was apologizing. So, the guys start talking about last night, about Calypso.

A CD with two music videos were out today: They were the latest ones already. The first new music video sets in Sydney, Australia where Calypso is at her apartment with a kangaroo. She is seen fishing, scuba diving, and shopping. It is hinted that she is in a witness protection program where she is being pursued by bad guys but she had enough so she sets up traps for them. The plan works; she ties them up and tortures them with girlie things. Calypso is faced with tougher guys at the beach but she fends them off and is honored as a hero. She is seen with a boy, her love interest as assumed, and they danced. There are several shots of Calypso singing live and of her crowd surfing. The second new music video starts off with Calypso waiting for her lover by the gate in London, England. There are flashbacks featured of how Calypso and her lover first met. Their rivalry, which involves with the two of them struggling to admit their feelings to one another. One day, they actually admitted their feelings to each other and shared a kiss. They go on a date in a boat. But her lover's father disapproves of this and forbids him to see her so they plan to eloped. In the present; Calypso is still waiting, thinking that her lover stood her up and was about to leave when she sees him walking towards her. She runs to him as they tenderly embrace each other. Some segments in the video show of Calypso singing in different places like the Big Ben clock tower and a bridge. The music video begins with Calypso packing her things and tearfully hugging her friends before she turns her back on them for her journey ahead of her. It changes to years later where Calypso returns and reunites with her friends. But she is surprised by how things have changed since she has been gone. Some of her friends have drifted apart from her but others still remained close. There are various scenes of Calypso and her friends going to places, going crazy in a silly way, laughing, and having a good time. In some scenes shows Calypso playing the guitar, singing in her room, and looking out her window. 

While in the city with her friends; Calypso saw a big TV up on a building and look to see that it was the news channel as the reporter is talking to some children, who can talk all at once as if they are the same person. They are kind of creepy, their hair is platinum blonde hair and their eyes are grey that shimmer. Calypso stopped short, "Grimm...Wait, they look familiar...." She thought. Then, she remembered on the day her village was burnt, she was just a little girl; leaving her burning house and look out to see those grey eyes flashing at her. "Their eyes...Are they the children the same as the figure I saw before on that day...?" wondered Calypso, she begin to shudder with fear. "Calypso, are you OK?" asked Momotaro, with concern. Calypso looks at them and smiles, "Yes, come on let's go." She said. As they were walking; Calypso couldn't deny it: "I knew those eyes, I saw those eyes as I escaped from my burning house." She thought. That night; Calypso had nightmares about the children: She dreamt that she was walking down a hallway but she turned left and kept walking. She turned right and saw the children standing there with their grey eyes and platinum blonde hair align to one another. Calypso knew something unsettling was going to happen, she noticed the children were holding hands. "Come play with us, Calypso..." They said together, like a hive mind fictional character. "Let's burn together..." They said, fire appeared as a horrified Calypso watched and backs away. She covered her eyes when she saw the kids burning until there was only their bones and clothes. When she woke up; Calypso was panting and covered in cold sweat from the nightmare. Calypso conducts herself in research of the Grimm Children: Their father is Mephisto Grimm, while the Grimm Children have names--Esben is the oldest, Rowland is the second oldest, Margaret is the middle child, Wynd is the younger, and Ellen is the youngest. 

In the meantime; Mikado and Kaguya are talking to one another. "Listen, Kaguya. Can you fight? At all?" asked Mikado. Kaguya shook her head, "As a pacifist, violence is not the issue on how we settle things." She explained truthfully. "It doesn't have to be, you can still fight for peace." He assured. Kaguya looked surprised, "What? Why?" inquired Kaguya. Mikado looked at her, "So nobody will kidnapped you again and again." He said. Then, he sat next to her. "You know you should try to be a martial pacifist, we can't always save you." Mikado said. Kaguya looks up in surprise, "What is that?" She asked. "A martial pacifist will often try to solve his problems with words first, and fists a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. When that happens, he will mop the floor with anyone dumb enough to challenge him. Unlike his arrogant counterpart, he will not kill you unless he has no other choice, as killing usually goes against everything that he stands for." explained Mikado. Kaguya giggled, "There's no such think as a person like that." She said. "Actually there is." Mikado said, he pulled out papers of his research that he did and pulled out one article. "There is the Norse mythology: Thor, the great Thor was one. And there was Freyr." replied Mikado. "But they are from mythology." protested Kaguya. "Ah, that's where your wrong." Mikado put in. More articles, he begin to read them as he mentioned their names: "Number one; The Shaolin Monks studied and developed their fighting style out of self-defense and swore an oath to only use these arts to protect. They took no pride in killing, and even less in needing to fight in the first place. Number two; The entire martial art of Aikido is based on this principle. and number three--Guillaume-Henri Dufour; He was General of the Swiss army during the brief civil war, which he won with less than 100 dead on both sides combined. Later, he was instrumental in founding the Red Cross and presided over the first Geneva Convention. He was also an important topographer, leading to Switzerland's highest peak being named after him." 

Convinced; Kaguya asked Mikado to teach her how to fight well. To her amazement, Mikado was an excellent trainer who helped her how to fight. How to knock down other enemies, how to watch out for the backside and front. Kaguya was preparing for the dark days to come and one day, it came. Another storm came but this time, it took place in the daytime and it nearly blew the heroes away from their base. But Kaguya escapes however when she looked around, she found herself in a stranded area as she called out for help but there was no one there. No one, at all. She was so desperate nevertheless she had to stay calm and use her time to use the skills that she was taught by Mikado. Even Calypso helped her, for she survived in places when she abandoned by the villagers. Building a survival shelter is an absolute priority for Kaguya. She was faced in a survival situation in harsh or unpredictable weather. A good shelter must protect her from the elements and be comfortable enough for resting and sleeping. She knew that most people cannot survive unprotected from rough weather for more than a few hours. Lucky for her, Kaguya did find a good shelter: It was dry, well drained and reasonably flat. It looked comfortable, distance to water and has a supply of firewood. It has building materials for your shelter and provides protection against strong winds. She remembered that Calypso had added a shelter tarp, an emergency blanket and an extra poncho to her gear. Perfect! It was complete. Now it was time to find water. But that wasn't going to be easy so she looked around and not a single trace of clean water was found. She remembered on how to make a water filter so she gathered water in a container she packed and she recalled on what Calypso told her: "To start with, you need a container. If you can find a large, empty can, use it. Punch 5-10 holes in the bottom of the can. A large plastic bottle is also fine. Cut the end of the bottle off evenly. If there is no container available, you have to use what material that nature can provide, or that you brought with you. If you find a birch tree, make a cone of birch bark. The cone will need to have a fairly small hole in the bottom. Tie the cone with rope to keep it from opening up. Now the first, you need to stop the sand to get out of the container. Find some filter material you can place at the bottom. For instance; a couple of inches (centimeters) of pebbles, a grass mesh, make sure it’s nonpoisonous grass, or cotton material."

Kaguya learned how to do it as the teachings echoed in her memory:"Add a layer of gravel. The main purpose of the gravel layer is to strengthen the filter material and prevent sand mixed with the water you get from the filter. Fill your bottle or cone with sand. Collect some water. Pour your collected water through the filter. Catch it in another container at the bottom. Look at the water that comes out of the filter. It should be clear. If not, you may have to pass the water through the filter more than once." Now she made her own water filter and puts water in there and she can drink it. It is essential to understand where to find survival food, even food is the least pressing wilderness survival need. With plenty of water and a comfortable resting place, most of humans can live many weeks without food. However, food is important for Kaguya's mental and emotional state, as well as a source of energy and to maintain a normal body temperature. In a survival situation, she has to take advantage of everything available to eat. Most wilderness areas are full of natural food, ranging from plants to insects. The food sources Kaguya can exploit are determined by the habitat she was in. Vary her diet to make sure you get the appropriate proportions of fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Meat and fish are good sources of protein and fat and provide virtually everything a long-term survivor would need. However, at the first stage of a survival situation, plants are the most appropriate diet as plants are easily accessible and contain the necessary carbohydrates. She ate bugs that were editable: worms, grasshoppers, crickets, and ants. Not her cup of tea but what else could she do?

Then, Kaguya recalled something she had learn, which is the figure-four trap. It's very effective, but it needs some practice to make. Kaguya knows that she is unlikely to get it right first time. Her intention should be to create a stable trap, but with a trigger that will cause the trap to collapse, even to the slightest touch. The deadfall trap works on the principle that when the bait is taken a weight falls on the prey. This live animal trap can be made to any size. But she knew that it wouldn't work for the first time but it was worth a shot. The deadfall trap had a trigger, a horizontal bait bar is balanced at appropriate angles to an upright with a locking bar, which supports a heavy weight pivoting around the tip of the upright, see the figure above. As a weight, use a heavy log or rock. Another variation of the trigger mechanism is shown to the right. It's very simple and no tools are required. Using two long sticks and one short stick; She made sure the contact point of the weight is close to the main support stick. Kaguya also need to find kindling with the tinder and fuel she had packed. She made a fire with ease and it started. Just as Mikado taught her. She tended to the fire but after a few hours; she had to create an SOS, which meant Save Our Souls, is the best known international distress signal. Everyone should be familiar with SOS. The SOS signal can be transmitted by any method, visual or audio. She remembered the code for SOS is 3 short, 3 long and 3 short signals. Pause. Repeat the signal. The SOS signal can, for instance, be constructed as a ground to air signal with rocks and logs, or whatever material she have available. At night she can use a flashlight or a strobe light to send an SOS to, for instance, an aircraft. During the day, she can use a signal mirror. If it is difficult to produce long and short signals, Kaguya should know that almost any signal repeated three times will serve as a distress signal. 

Just then, Kaguya looked around and saw someone who made camp and was flashing an SOS. Curious; she went over to see who needed help. She was surprised to see Tomoe, who looked up and smiled at her friend. "Kaguya! You're alive!" said Tomoe with relief. "Yes." answered Kaguya. Tomoe walked over to her friend, "Thank God, you're OK." She replied. Before the two girls embraced; someone from behind seized and poised Tomoe with a knife. "Ah!" gasped Tomoe. "Hey!" Kaguya cried. "Let me go! Let me go!" wailed Tomoe. Kaguya had her spear with her, the one that she used to catch fish. "Take your hands off her!" She ordered. However someone came from behind and bound her wrists, "Get off me!" She exclaimed. However a tissue covered her mouth and she passed out. As she woke up; She was tied up to a chair and Kaguya couldn't escape at all. This was too much for her. No escape. While kidnapped; Kaguya begin to think rationally and she have to be cooperative in this sort of situation. Her adrenaline will be pumping, her heart will be pounding, and she will be terrified. She had to calm down. The sooner she can regain your composure the better off you will be immediately and in the long run. Right from the start, she should try to observe and remember as much as possible in order to help her plan an escape, predict abductor's next moves, or give information to the police to aid in a rescue or to help apprehend and convict the kidnapper. At the same time, she had to be positive. Most kidnapping victims survive--the odds are with her. That said, she should prepare herself for a long captivity. Some hostages have been held for years, but they kept a positive attitude, played their cards right, and were eventually freed. Take it one day at a time. 

One of the captors looked over her, Kaguya looked back with no glare at her. It is generally psychologically harder for a person to kill, rape, or otherwise harm a captive if the captive remains "human" in the captor's eyes. She did not grovel, beg, or become hysterical. She tried even not to cry. She will not challenge her abductor, but show him that him are worthy of respect. The guy untied her, then he asked her: "So, who are you little missy?" She swallowed and said, "I, Kaguya Okina, am here to bring the world peace. I do not wish for violence, please let me in..." But she stops when one of the captors jump at her, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." He recited, a verse from the Scriptures. Then; Kaguya could feel his hands on her bare skin, she felt cold anger and kicked him in between his legs. The guy groans in pain, loosen his grip, and Kaguya tried to run however the guy wraps himself around her and bangs her hard against a wall as he forcefully kissed her. In the kiss; Kaguya bite his lip hard. The man yelled, he was furious and grabbed Kaguya's neck, choking her. She was about to die without air in her throat, when that same burst of power, she had before with her monstrous master she was enslaved, came from her and the captor cry out in pain. He fell backwards, he was critically injured as he fell unconscious. Kaguya was shocked, she begin to weep sorrowfully. "Oh my God...." She gasped. "Oh...." She wept and wept until there was nothing left. 

She thought of what Mikado said about martial pacifists: A martial pacifist will often try to solve his problems with words first, and fists a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. When that happens, he will mop the floor with anyone dumb enough to challenge him." She remembered what he also said to her, "You can do it, Kaguya. After all we've taught you, you are a warrior." "I don't think I'm a warrior." She replied nervously. "Sure you are, you just don't know it yet." confirmed Mikado. "How do you know that?" asked Kaguya. Mikado smirked, "I just do." He answered smugly. She remembered something from her past: When she was just a little girl; her mother used to tuck her into bed and she'd read her a story. It always was about a princess in distress, And how a guy would save her. Then end up with the glory of marrying her. Living happily ever after. Little Kaguya would lie in bed and think about the person that she want to be. Now, this day has come when she realized the fairy tale life wasn't for her. Kaguya knew what she had to do, She remembered her pacifist passage she had to follow: "With Jah as my witness, I swear on my name and my life, that I shall do no harm, that I shall place the saving of life and easing of suffering above self, above family, that my duty is not to my people, or to my nation, but to all of humanity." She realized that she cannot go by that anymore. She knew that Mikado, Susanoo, and Calypso were right: "I understand, I cannot cause violence. I cannot hurt a mortal. Forgive me but...My friends, they are right. I can't count anyone to save me. I....I need to get stronger. I have to rescue only me." She thought. " I'm going set me free." 

Taking the sword on the ground; Kaguya fought back. Every enemy she encountered, she wasn't afraid to take a swing. She would not take pride in killing or harming but rather to save herself and remorse for what she has done to her foes. She doesn't want be like Cinderella, all she does is sit in a dark old dusty cellar--waiting for somebody to come and set her free. Nor like Snow White waiting for a handsome prince to come and save her with a magic kiss. She doesn't want to depend on no one else. As she fights; Kaguya never felt like this. She can do anything now: Kaguya can slay her own dragons. She can dream her own dreams. And that knight in shining armor? It's her! She found a building of jail cells as she heads over there. Calypso, Susanoo, Mikado, Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro were waiting for them when they saw Kaguya coming to the rescue. They were happy to see her. Kaguya frees them with her sword as they escape. But the Grimm Children confronts them: "Kaguya, so you somehow become stronger. Not surprising....But you're path of peace will be demolished." They said, talking as one--Like a Legion. They fought against Kaguya, who is being allied with Calypso and the others. One of the children used their snake powers and bit Calypso in the arm. Calypso begin to cry out in pain. But to her surprise, it automatically heals and she grins triumphantly. 

The Grimm Children laid down, defeated. They glared up at Calypso, Kaguya, and the gang. "Impossible! The poison should've killed you two girls!" said the children. Calypso rolled up her sleeves as she revealed that the poison was already healed. "Sorry, you may have got me but I have a secret weapon--My woulds healed faster than any bites would normally do." The Grimm Children were shocked, they looked away before chuckling insanely. They looked up; sneering at Calypso, "Y'know, I woul've gone away with it too...If it weren't for you meddling kids." They said. Calypso 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 that burned down my village?" "No, I did." A voice said. Calypso looked up to see a dark silhouetted man. But his face showed of a weasel or fox-like appearance. "Mephisto." Calypso said, giving him a glare. "Dad...dddy." said the Grimm Children, as if it was one person saying it. Kaguya and the others look shocked. "Daddy?" Susanoo and his friends cried in unison. "Mephisto is their father?" Kaguya thought. "So, you're Mephisto Grimm." Calypso said. "Yes, I am. Why that's the first time I address myself in front of my enemies." Mephisto remarked. "I'm going to ask you this, why did you kill my father?" Calypso said. 

"Here's one reason why and I'll tell you....Didn't your father ever told you about the fact that he and I were once business partners?" Mephisto asked. This surprised Calypso, "No." She said. "He'd never told me things like that." She answered. "Hmm, he didn't want to worry you so much. Not since your mother died....Anyway, he and I invested with a guy known as Mr. Ector and he was supposed to have fair share of the money, but that selfless bastard wanted to have more because of the village." Mephisto said. "My father needed a lot more, our village was dying and we didn't had any other food." Calypso interjected. "Yes, I went to the village and confronted him but he refused, saying I cheated off my own pay which pissed me off. I was filled with rage ad burnt that son of a bitch to the ground!" Mephisto shrieked. "You killed my father all because you didn't get your own money?" demanded Calypso, "You really are a selfish jerk-off aren't you?!" "Oh, am I? I think you should....LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!" Mephisto cried, throwing Calypso to the ground. She gets up but saw Mephisto with his sword. "I'm going to finish you just like I did with your daddy." Mephisto exclaimed, raising his weapon as if he was ready to stab her. Calypso cringed away, but she noticed she was dying and looked to see Kaguya and the others were defending her. Calypso was touched by this, The Grimm Children couldn't believe it: "Impossible!" They shouted. "Nothing is impossible when you got friends like us!" exclaimed Susanoo. "We're not going to let you get away with this, Calypso is our friend and she stays with us." Mikado said. "Yes, Calypso is our friend, she is the reason to help us all. And I will bring everyone to the world of peace. I will not give up. Never!" Kaguya said. 

Calypso gets up, "You shoot me down, I get up and I won't fall again. You may have burnt my village, you may have killed my father but you will not burned me alive!" She exclaims. With their powers combined; Calypso and her friends defeated Mephisto, who was bleeding from his shoulder. "Daddy!" cried the Children, rushing over to aid him. "Well done, Calypso. But don't think this is over, I will be back to destroy you." Mephisto said, there was a smoke that covered him and his children. By the time the fog cleared; the Grimms were already gone. "And I'll be ready." Calypso claimed. Calypso and the others went home, where Kaguya becomes a warrior and a new member. Calypso learned that her village was being re-build but still there are many troubles lurking there. Calypso is determined to see it once again and take down Mephisto. 

During the night; Mikado begins to sit there alone, away from the celebration. Susanoo saw he looks trouble and walks over to talk to him. "Hey man, this is a celebration. Why are you sad?" asked Susanoo. "I don't know, I guess I'm troubled somehow. I'm happy for Kaguya but somehow I cannot find the words to talk to her." admitted Mikado. Susanoo is surprised, he smiled at him: "You like her, don't ya?" He asked. Mikado blushed, "Yeah. I mean, I want to tell her but I can't. What if she rejects me? I mean, she's a priestess right? What should I do?" He asked. Susanoo shrugged his shoulders, "Wait until the time is right and the moment is perfect I guess." He suggested. "I'm serious, Susanoo!" Mikado snapped. "I know you are, that's the plan. You just gotta wait until you and her are alone. I think she likes you, I mean look at the way she cares about you but she's a priestess and she can't abandoned her duties or she will be expelled from the temple." explained Susanoo. Mikado sighed, "You may have a point, when do you think the time will be right?" He asked. "Whenever, I suppose." replied Susanoo. Then the two boys went back to the party. Just then, a storm came in and ruined the party. The others tried to evacuate however Mikado accidentally dropped the necklace he was supposed to give Kaguya so he dived into the water to search for it, his friends called him to come back. But Mikado had already dived in and swam into the water, looking for the necklace and found it eventually but the tide was drowning him under as Mikado tried to reach the surface but the currents were too strong! He couldn't swim back up, he tried and pushed further, thinking of Kaguya's face. Her smile, how beautiful she looked. But it was no use, he was going to be in a watery grave. He didn't get the chance to tell the girl he'd love how he felt about her. 

He fell unconscious, but he felt himself being pulled to shore. His head was up from the water he was underneath before. The next sound he heard was the birds chirping and the ocean was calm. He heard voices but he didn't see them for his eyes were closed: "Is he dead?" A girl's voice asked. "I don't know." said a dumb sounding voice. "Maybe we shall chant an incantation to rise him from the dead." "I think you've been reading too much of Is This a Zombie? Columbo." said another voice. "Hmm, I hear his heart beating." said a voice that sound high pitched. Mikado heard the girl's voice sighing, "He is?" "Wait, it sounds faint...No, his heart is pulsing. Yes, he is living after all." said the high pitched, nasal voice. "Yes, I knew it." said the girl happily. Mikado felt a hand running through his hair. That hand felt nice in his hair. "Who's there?" He wondered. "He is so beautiful..." mused the girl's voice. Then, she begins to sing a song: "The waves are breaking, against the shores of Waiapu, My heart is aching, for your return my love. Oh my beloved boy, come back to me, I could die of love for you. I have written you a letter, and enclosed with it my ring, So your people could see it how much I'm troubled for you...Oh boy, Come back to me, I could die of love for you." Mikado was astounded, confused by this pretty song of a siren voice. "Wha--?" He thought. The girl begin to sing again, "Oh boy, Come back to me, I could die of love for you." Mikado found his words, "Wow...That was beautiful." He said softly. "Oh dear, it seems her singing voice seems to enchant this young man's mind, causing him to be infatuated the lyrics of the song in her voice." said the high pitched voice, analyzing the situation. "Think of the money we could make! We could buy a lot of anime related things." said the first, he seemed excited about this scene. "Odd, we can't always do things like this!" protested the second high pitched voice. "Ahh, Little Mermaid--Good times, good times." said a third. Just then, they heard commotion of Mikado's friends and these voices were gone. The only thing that Mikado woke up to see is the faces of his friends. Mikado wondered who was that singing and decide to keep it a secret until he can go off alone when the chance is right. He heard the singing but it sounded so faint: "Oh boy, Come back to me, I could die of love for you."

One week later, Calypso's started to record her music video: The music video starts off in an Old Western era where two men are waiting for their opponent to show up in a ghost town. There was an eerie feeling in the air, and the two men turn to see that their opponent, Calypso, was standing in their direction. She was wearing a sexy cowgirl. She steps forward to them, cocked her hips as she had her rifle and then the shooting begins. Then, it ends with Calypso defeating them both. In the meantime at a hotel; Calypso looked over at the skyline and saw a beautiful sunrise. "Wow. It looks like it's going to be a great day." murmured Calypso. She saw people walking by the beach but something strange along the shore. It looked like a body however from the distance she was at; it was hard to tell. Calypso left the balcony and went down to the beach. She went over to the body, which was a young man: He looked like 15 to 17 years of age, dark brown hair, and he was a good looking boy there. "A boy? How--" Calypso wondered. She puts her ear to his chest, Calypso listened for a moment, and then she gasped. This boy was alive, much to her amazement, this lovely creature was still breathing! "Impossible, no boy such as he would ever survive by himself." Calypso thought. Gingerly; She placed her hands on his shoulders and shook him gently. "Hey, boy? Are you OK? Please, wake up?" chided Calypso, softly. The boy stirred in his sleep and moaned, then he opened his eyes. My, what beautiful eyes he had--Blue green magnetic pools of those pupils. 

He saw Calypso, startled he sat up. "You--you saw me here?" He asked, stammering. "Oh, of course." Calypso replied. "I saw you lying there, I thought for a second you were dead." The boy panicked, he pulled out a knife, he aimed at his heart and prepared to kill himself. "NO!!!!" Calypso cried, she seized his wrist as she struggled the knife away from him. The boy didn't have the energy to fight back, he looked weary and exhausted. Well, for someone who washed up on shore; he didn't look so good. Calypso seemed upset, "What in the hell would you try to kill yourself like that? Don't you know what life has in store for you? Don't do this to yourself, please!" She ranted but stopped as she had no point in talking to the boy. The boy stare at her with a stoic look, then he stood up and ran off. Calypso watched him go, she wondered of his erratic behavior. "Who was that boy?" Calypso thought. In the meantime; Calypso's first music video was premiering: The music video starts off with Calypso arriving at her embassy in Paris, France. Calypso caused havoc by playing loud music, jumping on the bed, and putting on makeup. She is uneasy of the supper meals like snails, frog legs, and goose liver. In Paris, Calypso explored all the museums and all the places such as well as the Notre Dame. But she stumbles across a photo shoot and meets a beautiful but nice model. They become friends as Calypso and the model go shopping. They have lunch and attend a party/dance. Calypso and the model meet two good looking guys, they dance with them. There are scenes of Calypso performing on stage with her band.  

Suspicious of the criminals being burnt alive and unsolved mysteries to how criminals are punished for their remorseless and wicked deeds. Calypso was getting dubious by the minute; she believes that the snide, bravado, and elusive rich boy 18 year old Metatron Hector is behind all this. She wasn't sure what was going on but she was going to find out. "I'm sorry, my brother is unavailable. If you want, I can set up an appointment for another time..." Sandaphon explained. Sandaphon was Metatron's little brother and assistant to a group called Esquire, they have been close ever since childhood. But the difference between them is Sandaphon was much nicer than his jerk off big brother. "Sandaphon, 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 Calypso. Sandaphon 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. Calypso has no choice but to accept defeat; she let out a sigh. "Damn." She thought. Calypso exhaled, "Fine then." She said, "But when he wakes up and all better, tell him this--My team and I are on his tail and we are observing him very closely. If he is responsible for burning those criminals alive, there won't be any mercy from anyone of us."  Sandaphon nodded, "Sure thing. I'll tell him that when he wakes up." He said. 

Calypso looked like she was leaving but she sneaked to the staircase. "Sorry, Metatron. But I'm not leaving until I get some answers." She thought. Calypso 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; Calypso brushed this off by laughing it off. "Ha, stupid." She mumbled. Calypso 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. Calypso pulled out her rod, 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 a rabbit. It had horns on its head, wings on its back, and bared his fangs. It snarled at the horrified Calypso. "Dear Elijah! What is that abomination? I never seen anything like it." She breathed. The rabbit creature pounced Calypso, it growled and snarled more. Blood 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; Calypso 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." Calypso gasped. She gets up and faced him. "What are you doing here? Are you involved with Metatron Hector? Just tell me, who are you? Really?" Calypso asked. The boy looked at her apathetically before puling out a gun. "Sorry." He said, "Time to say goodbye." Calypso looked at him, terrified. 

The boy looked at her face, somehow she reminds me of someone he once knew. He then saw a vision of a girl with blonde hair. Pretty baby blue eyes. And she wore white and blue clothes with a hint of transparent clothing of sash and sleeves of the outfit. "Samael, I beg of you. Please, save--" She said with plea. The boy, Samael, trembled as be begin to clutch his head. "No, sis I--Ariel." He muttered as he lowered his gun. "Ariel, I'll never let you die. Don't die..." Calypso looked at him with concern, "Hey, are you OK? You look unwell. Can I get you a drink of water or something to eat?" She asked. Samael took a step back, "Please. Stay away, stay back. I--" He muttered. Flashback etched in his mind of him as a young boy and the beautiful Ariel smiling at him. Samael, in reality, was so in devastation. "Ariel..." He whispered. Then, Samael nearly fell on his face but Calypso caught him in his arms. "Who in the world is Ariel?" She thought. Later, Sandaphon had saw Calypso sneaking around and helped her out. Now Calypso is with the mysterious yet pretty young fellow. Sandaphon turned to her and asked, "Miss? You seem to know him." Calypso nodded, "I found him on the shore of the beach. Tell me, who is the beautiful boy?" She asked. Sandaphon turned back to the unconscious Samael, "Samael, his name is Samael Diarmuid. He is part of this group called Esquire Squad." He explained. But someone--no more than one person--was watching them. "Who is she?" asked the first voice. The second voice wasn't sure, "I don't know." He said. "Wait, I think I do. That's Calypso." said the third. "The singer?" asked the fourth. "Yeah, it's her all right." confirmed the third. 

The others of the Esquire Squad are attractive-looking guys but they got elusive sides to them. Gabriel Conan is a charming, witty but dark personality for a disturbed past. A mysterious young man name Raphael Aiden who is a generous guy but he is a cryptic guy--Kind of cute too. A young man from a nice aristocratic family and was an average guy, Michael Finn. And finally, a cold hearted and self righteous young fellow name Jophiel Donne. They are concern with Calypso hanging out with Samael however something in Samael begin to change. One day, Calypso work together when the same undead bunnies Calypso saw before were attacking Esquire so she and the boys head over at Esquire to fight off these monsters. During the battle, Metatron takes interest in Calypso and her powers; he smiles at such a plan he has in mind. After a long hectic day of photo shoots, music videos, and recording songs in the studio; Calypso was walking in the dark. However while she is walking home; Calypso couldn't help but feel like someone, or something, was following her. This time, she wasn't going to brush this off. Now she was on her guard. Calypso turned around to see who it was, but she saw that no one was there. Calypso kept walking, a little faster however the person who was stalking her was closing in on her. Calypso quickly turned around to face her stalker. She was surprised to see that it was--Metatron Hector. "Oh, it's only you." Calypso said coldly. "What do you want?" "I just want to talk to you." replied Metatron. "I would like to thank you for saving my squad and myself from those wretched rabbit monsters." This made Calypso suspicious. "I wasn't doing it for you, I was saving innocent lives who were at stake." She snapped. Metatron nodded, "That's what I like about you." He answered. "Selfless. Caring. And your powers continued to amazed me." Metatron 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. 

Calypso 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?" Calypso asked, touched by his kindness. "Yes. For your heroic efforts that is." replied Metatron 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--burning sensation." He said. Calypso's face fell, she closed the box and glared at him. "You got to be kidding me! First, you give me this gift. And now you tell me this? Oh no, I don't think so. I'll take your gift but I'll have to refuse your offer." She said. Metatron 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. Forget it!" Calypso declared. Then, she storms away. Metatron 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; Calypso 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, Calypso  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; Metatron snickers quietly of this. Her powers were losing control and was going out of line. Perfect! Calypso tried to restrained herself of her movement to her arms and legs but she couldn't. It was hopless! Calypso didn't understand what was going on and it was scaring her. Metatron sneered, "Got you now." He thought. Sandaphon glanced at his older brother, he didn't like this one bit. Not at all. It wasn't good to him. 

Mikado woke up to hear bumps in the night and hurried over to see what was going on, he was shocked to see Calypso's limbs moving on their own and she's not doing this. "What the hell?" Mikado exclaimed. "It--It's not me, I feel like I'm being mind controlled." Calypso protested. Then, she could hear a voice in her mind sniggering. "Guess you know what I can maneuver." said the voice in her mind. Calypso was shocked, anger fired up in her chest. "Metatron Hector, what the hell are you doing in my head asshole?" demanded Calypso. Metatron leered at her, "You refused my offer. Nobody refuses me and gets away with it! So now you have to pay. You see, that lovely 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. Calypso gritted her teeth, "Son of a bit--" 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 Metatron. Fear flooded her face, "You wouldn't." growled Calypso. "I would. Back talk towards me and you won't get to breathe ever again!" warned Metatron viciously. "Get out of my head, Metatron! Leave. Me. ALONE!!!!" begged Calypso. "You can't stop me, Calypso. I can control every muscle, every nerve, every vessel in your body." Metatron declared, laughing insanely. He then made Calypso run away with her looking back at Mikado. Mikado was shocked of what was happening so he rushed over to get help. 

Calypso was lured over to Esquire, she tried to fight back from entering in there but she knew it was no use and fell to the ground as Metatron laughed with insanity. Then, Calypso 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!" Metatron replied. "NEVER!" screeched Calypso. "Fine. I'll make you suffer more and more...AND MORE!" cried Metatron. Sandaphon gasped, "No! What about the reason why we are punishing the remorseless and apathetic kinds? Brother, don't do this!" He thought. Calypso begin to cry, it was too much for her to bare all this pain. "Father...!" She thought through her tears. "I'm sorry, I've failed you. Forgive me..." As she wept of her tears; A shimmering light appears before her. Calypso looked up, she saw that it was Himiko, she wore a long kimono that reached to the floor as she looked more like a hime in the flesh. "Is that you, Himiko?" Calypso asked. "Hush, do not cry my daughter. I have come to save you from your pain." replied Himiko. All of a sudden; Metatron couldn't believe what he was seeing, "What--?" He said. Just then he was seized by six hands and looked up to see who it was. "What the hell is going on? What did you two do to her?" demanded Gabriel. "It was big brother's idea really!" protested Sandaphon truthfully. "You've gone too far! What happened to what we stand for? Why we do this?" Michael reminded. Metatron was shocked, he realized why and it suddenly came back to him. His family, his childhood, it was taken. He wanted revenge on the people that done this. "Never do this again, because this is not what any of us signed up for. We must not hurt her, no one innocent such as this girl." Samael said. Calypso started to remind him of his sister again, the image of the girl motionless was coming back in his memories. "Ariel...." He whispered. 

The music video is a Yu-gi-Oh! themed (which is based off the battle in the episodes 22-24 called Face Off). Two actors are re-making the scene of the duel. To see which one of them will enter Pegasus's castle. There are lots of conflict, there are some tables turned, but then the antihero is planning on jumping from the ledge however the female stops the hero, who obeys and loses the battle. He weeps of the darkness inside him but is comforted by his female friend, who is tearful of his loss. The antihero is a jerk as the female friend stands up to the antihero, who storms away. There are some scenes featured of Calypso watching the battle from the tower. She becomes empathetic by the hero. Other scenes show Calypso playing the piano and lying on the floor. Two of her videos are released and they are quite unique: The video begins with Calypso walking to an empty park, which has a glowing sunset. She falls on her knees and sheds tears while singing the song. During that time; A figure is seen behind a tree as this person is spying on Calypso in her anguish. The person feels bad for her, he approached Calypso, who is still weeping. The figure place a hand on her shoulder, Calypso turns around to see and is astounded so she embraces this person. Segments of Calypso walking in a neon lightened city, swimming in a pool while looking up at the blue sky before she goes underwater. She is seen lying on a comfy bed while she sings the song. Metatron was watching the video in a daze and Sandaphon came up to him, saying finally: "So, what do you think of her now? She's not Esquire material now is she?" And then walked away with Metatron watching but he was upset. Meanwhile; Calypso begin to think back on how Samael and the guys rescued her, she was relieved to have them on her side and wants to make it up to them. 

The music video is a Mobile Suit Gundam Wing theme. It re-makes the relationship of Heero Yuy and Relena Peacecraft. A teen girl found a boy lying on the beach. The boy woke up with a start and is about to attempt suicide but fails as he escapes. The second scene shows of the girl giving him an envelope, which the boy rips it up into pieces. The girl is saddened however the boy wipes her tears away but he leans beside her, vowing to kill her. The girl wonders why but one day, she confronts the boy however she is held at gunpoint. The boy cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. The next scene shows the boy fighting in war in his giant robot but he falls defeated as he thought of the girl before passing out. The boy wakes up to see the girl sitting beside him, she smiles at him before she gets up and walks away. The boy watches her go, wondering why can't he kill her. Calypso appears in some scenes of her on the roof of a hotel by the pool, walking on the beach, and swimming in the ocean. In the music video; Calypso is running to find her lover, she finally finds him but he has his back towards her. Flashbacks show that they were once a happy couple but somehow the guy becomes depressed and has been doing bad things, such as drinking and stealing. Calypso is hurt, confused. That's when she found a paper with writing, a letter as it seems, and reads it. But she is shocked to see what she had read. She drops it and rushes out. Calypso is seen talking to her lover, who still has his back to her. The climax shows that her lover falls backwards, his face is buried in her neck as he cries in it. Later, the boy is recovering at the hospital; Calypso holds her lover's hand as she smiled hopefully. In the video, Calypso is seen at a neon themed arcade/tavern. 

Calypso is taking a day off from her music performances and others that were part of her schedule. She was busy exploring the city, where she could see the tall buildings and how beautiful it is. Then, she could hear circus music in the air. "Where is that music coming from?" She wondered. Calypso walked closer, she saw people crowding around as she saw a ring leader with a juggler and someone in a mascot costume doing tricks. Calypso raised an eyebrow, "Hmm...Are they for real?" She thought. Then she saw a sign that said, "The Cuckoo Cloud Circus" and underneath it says, "Featuring Odd the Ring Master. Frey the Juggler. And Thor as Cloud the Rooster" "Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Step right up, come closer, you won't believe your eyes behind this curtain! Witness something you've never seen, heard, or dreamt before, The most amazing show on earth! So sit back, relax, fasten your seat belts it's going to be a bumpy ride to the other side!" announced Odd. Frey was the juggler while Thor was the one in the mascot, who doing all sorts of tricks. Odd continued to grand stand before the audience, "As they say 'things aren't always what they seem to be.' Even in your greatest fantasies; You won't believe your eyes or even recognize the wonderment that lies behind the shimmer and the lights. But you may think, 'Is it true what they say? Is it all just fun and games? Or is there more behind the makeup and the faces full of paint?'" He ranted. Calypso looked at this with curiosity as she seemed amused but not naive like the rest of the crowd. Odd continued to rant. "People, I like to ask: Do you want to be widely entertained? People to know your name? Do you crave fame? I ask you, do you want to come and play?" 

Earlier before; Odin 'Odd' Celio is an anime otaku, who is inspired to write his first and only manga. The title is called Misfit Maniacs. Misfit Maniacs is a variety of insane people in a more comical fashion. But Odd cannot do this alone so he got his two best friends, Freyr 'Frey' Hali and Thorstan 'Thor' Lander. Thor was the illustrator while Frey is the editor. How they became friends was when they were both young. Frey was a clean freak and Thor is a laid back person and happy go lucky guy. Frey is good with editor while Thor is a skillful manga artist. Together, they were going to create the most awesome manga ever! But lately, life has been boring for them and they decide to do scams based off animes: Like make baseballs and tennis balls into Poke Ball replicas. Create fearsome yet cute stuffed animals who can be switched into bigger monsters--A reference in Digimon Digital Monsters. Spinning tops, quite like Beyblade. Robots--Like Metabots. And other scams based off other animes from childhood to modern day. Just then, a mysterious young fellow was watching Calypso, who noticed that she is being stalked and attacked by thugs. Calypso escapes and runs but the thugs came up to her. "Release her!" A voice commanded. One of the thugs laughs at the boy, "Like hell!" He said.  The young man was pushed away as he reveals himself, "I said, release her! In the presence of Prince Kylta, I command you to let the lady go. Now!" commanded the man. The thugs show some respect for the man now. "Prince Kylta!" They said, bowing to him in respect. Calypso looked up from bowing, "He's a prince?" She gasped softly. The prince looks at the thugs, he seems to know them. "Causing trouble aren't we boys?" He said. The thugs turned out to be Nodri, Sudri, Austri 
and Vestri as they are Kylta's servants. Kylta had escaped from an arranged marriage as he does not want to go back but he escapes again from Calypso when she woke up to find a note and the rest of them gone. 

Calypso's next music video which was influenced by books such as Sheila Rae the Brave, Arthur's Reading Race, The Cat in the Hat, and Green Eggs & Ham: The music video opens up to Calypso kissing a spider before smiling at the camera. The second scene shows her walking downtown of different places--The zoo, the gas station, the bank, the park, and outside of an ice cream shop. She walks passed a taxi, walk towards a school where kids are playing hopscotch. There are many other shots of Calypso eating cherries in a diabolical way and then laughing, she ties up a bully to a fence with a jump rope for taking the girls' rope as the children cheered. She is also seen riding her bike and then lets go as she spread her arms out; the feeling of freedom. Calypso begin to do cartwheels flawlessly, she stepped on cracks, walk backwards, scaring dogs and cats, and going up in a tree. More shots of her with a replica of two eggs with green yolks and a green ham. She is wearing a red and white striped top hat. She is seen wearing a sweater that says 'Thing One and Thing 2'. She is flying a kite in a house, while wearing a dress with pink, red, and white dots on the dress. She has a cup, cake, and a fish in a bowl balanced on a big platter. Her music videos were so successful that she is invited to claim an award at the Honest Stars Award Ceremony. This was good news to hear. 

At the awards show; Calypso saw her favorite pop artists: Bebe Rosado, Astrithr, Mackenzie deLove, Kathy Terrence, Moneta Peso, Conchita Selly, Felicia 'Happy' Cutter, The Romanos--Nikita 'Nikki' and Dolores 'Lola' who were identical twins, Vivian and Chastity Fjolar, Mazza Berger from Mazza and the Jewel Hearts, Elizabeth 'Zizi' Warthur--A talented hip hop violinist and dancer, Rochelle McQueen (formerly known as Rochelle Darcy but now it's changed since she's married), and Calypso's favorite since she was little, Abigail Dawn. Calypso felt like cheering, this was great! She was at an award show with all her favorites right here in front of her on the red carpet. This was the best day of her life! In the meantime, five girls are spending their vacation. They seem to be young adults: 17 year old Sophia Marjan is a good girl type who is pure hearted but she wants to see something more to life than the boring life she lives in. Her friends, who were different except for Desiree Jael which she is another 'good girl', are somewhat troubled. Turan Siver, her sister Una, and tough as nails chick Hecate Dennis. These girls are excited about the award show as they wonder how they might get there. Hecate knows someone who can get them in, his name is Absalom Redford who is a rapper by the name Red Ab. Red Ab is not just a rapper but a ruffian. 

Red Ab tells them that he's got tickets so they can cause trouble there. They go to the award show in dresses and suits: Sophia wore a baby doll gown with her hair down, Turan wore one with a one shoulder and her hair was in a spiky hairdo, Desiree wore a gown with a low neckline and a romantic heart style with a peek-a-boo style of hair, Hecate wore a dress that was strapless and backless which showed her legs in a piled ponytail, and Una wore a gown with spaghetti straps in an elegant bun. Lastly is Red Ab, who wore a suit with slick shoes, pants, and wore his shades as usual. During all the photo shoots and interviews; Hecate looked around to see all the artists when she accidentally bumped into Mazza Berger, Hecate was so shocked of seeing her: "Holy crap! You're Kathleen Livia! No, wait! Tatenda, you're Tatenda yeah?" Hcate exclaimed. Mazza smiled nicely, "Actually, my name is Mazza. Sorry." She explained with her accent. Mazza was known for her accent but also her creative yet retro outfit. Hecate felt embarrassed. "Oh, really? You got an accent chica?" She asked. Mazza nodded, "I'm Welsh." "Sweet." Hecate replied. In the awards ceremony; there were greetings until Red Ab was irked to see his long time rival, Ivo Ree, there and then he goes psychologically unstable and starts to shoot at him but missed so the girls and him cause destruction to the ceremony. 

People ran out in fright, the others of Calypso's favorite singers and musicians were also running away. Calypso saw this as she knew she had to stop this however she comes across a bunch of triplets: "Hello Calypso." They said as if as one. Calypso looks furiously at them, "Are you responsible for this shooting?" She asked. "Why, we did invite Red Ab and his girls here. We didn't know he was going go psycho." said the triplets. "You guys sound familiar, like the Grimm Children." remarked Calypso, but then she is horrified as she glanced at their psychotic looks. "You mean you guys are..." She started to say, but the triplets nodded. One triplet said, "I am Juventas Grimm." The second replied, "Greetings. My name is Diana Grimm." and lastly, the third triplets introduced herself: "And I'm Libera Grimm." Then, all together as one, "We are the Grimm Sisters. Our other siblings are here on a mission to cause destruction to this ceremony. If you wish to save others like your precious stars, come and find us if you can." They laugh, and ran off. Calypso growls, she pulls out her cellphone and dials the number, "It's me. I need you guys to help me out...It's the Grimms." She said into the phone. Susanoo, Kaguya, Mikoto, Tomoe, Kintoki, Momotaro, and some unexpected, unlikely allies: Samael, Gabriel, Raphael, Michael, and Jophiel. 

Susanoo, Samael, Gabriel, Mikoto, Kintoki, Jophiel, Michael, and Momotaro are confronted by the rough and tough boys of Grimm--The Grimm Brothers: Solomon 'Saul', Davis, and Samuel. Tomoe and Raphael face the twins, Viola and Sebastian Grimm. Calypso, meanwhile, is searching for the Grimm Sisters but is faced with trouble as she swoops down and rescues them before facing the other undead rabbits. They managed to stop the Grimm Sisters and save the award ceremony. 
The awards ceremony resumes, as Calypso received an award, "Badass Heroine Singer" Award. She was an honored heroine to the people she had rescued and felt more than a famous singer, she was now an accomplished action girl with guts and glory! But soon, she decided to erase the memories of everyone at the ceremony with a substance. However, she allows her favorite celebrities to remember it and keep it a secret. But Metatron is curious about Red Ab and his ladies. He thinks that they were set up in this commotion. 

Meanwhile; Calypso's newest music video comes out, which is inspired by the 1986 movie Labyrinth. It shows Calypso finds herself in a a vast, escher-inspired room filled with stairways but then she is being confronted by a mysterious man jumps as she finds herself wandering through the ballroom where she is wearing a shimmering silver gown with gold trim, with huge off-the-shoulder sleeves and a full skirt. She has elaborate, vine-like decorations in her hair, which has been curled, and extravagant jewelry.  As she continues, she is eventually found by the mysterious man and drawn into a dance with him. However she escapes the waltz as she shatters the dream-world by smashing the edge of it with a chair. Some scenes show Calypso singing in a room as she cradles with a baby in her arms. The baby was crying earlier but now it drifted to sleep. It ends with Calypso putting it to bed and then placing a teddy bear besides the infant. Smiling, Calypso turns to see a flying owl in the night sky. 

In the bright light of the morning sun, there was a bustling place called Rising Sun City. Within these parts concealed are monsters who come out in any part of the day or night. Among them, stands a warrior who is sworn to protect humanity from any danger that comes. A chimera ran like a cheetah, it sprinted and grunted. “Faster, fool! Run faster than that!” It said to itself. But the chimera felt a drop kick jolted him as it tumbled down a hill. The chimera growled in pain as the boot stepped on its throat. The chimera tried to struggled when a glass-like knife pierced its heart, it let out an ear splitting screeched as a female’s voice said, “Damned creature. I sent thee back to thy Yomi.” The chimera yelled as it turned to dust. The chimera killer stood up, revealing to be a girl. Around 15-17 years of age. She has long, Godiva dirty blonde hair. Dark brown eyes, a slender figure, and a pretty face. She wore a pink rash guard top and black cargo pants with black and pink sneakers. This young lady is a protector, her name is Melusine Varuna. Behind her is an emerald green haired boy with amber eyes and whitish pink skin. He wore a Japanese school uniform for boys. His name is Max Balthasar. Next to him is a gentleman with sapphire blue hair, has navy blue eyes, and he wore a magician-butler outfit with a top hat, he looked handsome—Dashing, as to say. His name is Derek Melchior. And there was a beautiful, cheery girl with hot pink/ fuchsia hair. Her eyes were purple and she wore a Japanese school girl outfit. Her name is Lucille Casper.

“Nice. Very nice, Mel.” Max complimented. “That was sooo kewl!” Lucille squealed. Melusine flipped her hair confidently, “Tch, that chimera deserved it. He was burning the forests with those students hiking.” remarked Melusine. “Well, another job well done.” Derek said. Melusine nodded, “C’mon. Let’s go.” She said. And the four of them hurried away. Melusine looked over the horizon of the cliff she was standing on. She grinned ear-to-ear. Astounded by the beauty of what she was seeing. But she could hear behind her are a commotion of breathless voices and panting. “Wait for us, Mel!” Lucille called. Melusine rolled her eyes in annoyance, “Lucille! Boys! Shake a friggin’ leg.” She hollered over her shoulder. Then turn back to smile at what she was seeing. The trio reached Melusine, they stopped to gasp for air. “You—pant—know—pant—we can’t go—pant—that fast!” Max wheezed. Melusine pointed over, “Look! There it is!” She said with excitement. Melusine was pointing over to a haunted mansion, an old manor called Olympus Lodge. Melusine was ecstatic, she was looking forward to exploring there. “Isn’t it awesome?” She asked. “Wow.” said Max, not exactly thrilled as he is not too crazy about all this. “Swell.” replied Derek, half-heartedly. “Ooooohhh!” Lucille said with glee. She seems over the moon just like Mel. “Let’s check it out!” announced Melusine. “Yay!” Lucille cheered. Max and Derek looked at her with disbelief: “What, now?” Max asked. “Oh no.” groaned Derek. Melusine seized them and bellowed, “What are we waiting for?”

The four of them jump from the cliff as they flew down safely to the Olympus Lodge. “Oh no, you must be kidding if we’re in that place! I mean, we could awaken evil spirits!” Max protested, squirming to get away but couldn't because of Melusine's grip. “That’s why there’s me. I can handle it. Hell, I can do anything.” Melusine said. Derek rolled his eyes, “OK, Kim Possible, what makes you so obsessed with this place?” He asked with sarcasm. “The Olympus Lodge has some ancient, cryptic artifacts. I want to see what they have in this broken-down, crapsack house.” Melusine explained. Lucille suddenly looked excited, “Like, treasure?” She inquired. Melusine smiled, “More or less, Lu.” Melusine peeked into the haunted house, but the door fell down. The gang entered inside. It looked old: There were broken looking candlesticks, furniture has ripped up cushions, and there were cobwebs. “What a dump!” Max said. “No doubt about it.” Melusine remarked. They walked around to see mice, spiders, rats, and bugs here. However, they found a room which was bathed in heaven’s light. It made the room magical! “Oh my.” Melusine gasped in amazement. Lucille was delighted by this too, “Pretty!” She exclaimed. “Amazing.” Max breathed. “Gorgeous.” said Derek, softly. The four of them looked around to see what they could find here. They found spiders, which freaked out Lucille as she ran around screaming. There was dust, papers that had words faded out or spilled on. But Melusine noticed a trap door in the house, she opens it and finds a secret room. She slipped down there as she finds a drawer of a desk so she opens it. Inside was a dialed discs object, Melusine couldn't believe it.

“A cryptex.” She said. Max, Derek, and Lucille walks over to Melusine to gaze at the object. “What’s a cryptext?” Lucille asked, mangling the word of the object. “A cryptex is an object which is arranges the disks to spell out the correct password. In the inner compartment of the cryptex, secret information can be hidden, written on a scroll of thin papyrus wrapped around a fragile vial of vinegar as a security measure: if one does not know the password but tries to force the cryptex open, the vial will break and the vinegar will dissolve the papyrus before it can be read.” explained Melusine. Derek is astonished by this knowledge. “I never knew you acknowledge about that.” He said. Melusine looked embarrassed, “I did. Utnapishtim taught me that, remember?” She reminded. Max remembers as he snaps his fingers, “That’s right.” He said. Suddenly, there was a sound of sizzling. The four friends looked behind them to try to listen carefully. “What’s that noise?” Max asked. The floorboards from beneath begin to shake as the figure broke out and a serpent came out. The four of them backed off in fear. “A snake! A snake!” Max cried. Lucille cowered in fear, she hides behind a chair Melusine, Max, and Derek fights the giant cobra. The cobra snaps its teeth at Max and Derek. Melusine got in the way to protect her friends. But the cobra sniffed her with its tongue and lunged at her. Melusine blocks the creature’s attack but then the fangs sink into her skin. “Ahhh!” She cried. “Mel!” Max bellowed. Derek turned to the cobra and strikes it in half with its sword. Melusine was writhing in pain, the bite from the snake’s morsel was painful as the venom was starting to spread. “Dammit, it hurts!” She cried. 

Max, Derek, and Lucille gather around her. They were worried what they could do however Derek was calm as he looked over at Mel’s wound. “We gotta get her to Utnapishtim, he can help.” He said. “Come on.” Melusine was still the entire time, composed as she could be. The trio escorted her to Utnapishtim Nestor’s house. Derek lead their friend to the door and opens it as he calls out, “Master Utnapishtim, it’s an emergency. Melusine’s been bitten!” Elli came down the stairs as he says, “Bring her here.” He said. A few moments later; Utnapishtim examines Melusine’s wound, he nods as his eyes scanned the bite. “Can you do anything about the snake bite?” Derek asked. Utnapishtim was quiet for a moment then he finally said, “Yes. Max, get me the anti-venom.” Max nodded, “Right!” He said and rushed away. Utnapishtim turned to Lucille, who looked ready to help her dear friend and majestic master. “Lucille, I need you to get me the Nure serum.” instructed Utnapishtim. “Yes Gramps!” Lucille said. The old man turned to Derek and said, “Derek, get me the utilizer.” Derek bowed, “Yes Master.” He said. Derek hurried away. The three of them got the things that Utnapishtim has ordered them to get. Once he got the tools ready with him; Utnapishtim got to work. As he worked, he says to Max and the other two: “My friends, this is no ordinary cobra you came across with. It is a Naga, who has bitten Melusine. Now, she will have to be a protector as she must fight other Nagas by becoming half of one.” “What?” Max asked in disbelief. “Why is that, Master?” Derek queried. Utnapishtim revealed the reason, which shocks the trio: “She is not the Chosen One to defeat chimera, tenome, but also nagas. Her mother is the predator Echidna. Echidna had given birth to her and tries to kill her however I had to intervene. Now, Echidna is out to find her. That is why Melusine must stay safe no matter what happens.” 

During the procedure, Melusine begins to have vivid dreams: She dreamed of seeing a vision of a nude woman with her long hair covering her body. She is seen talking to a snake, who convince her of the fruit tree. The girl look up at the tree, she gets up from sitting and takes a bite of fruit from the tree. Next, the snake is thrown to the ground as a voice thunders in its hearing: “On your belly, you shall crawl. Eating nothing but dust and be hated by humanity.” Then, a close up of a snake’s mouth as if to attack. Finally, Melusine woke up to see her master, Max, Derek, and Lucille. “Master? W-what happened?” inquired Melusine in a frazzled tone. “You were bitten but you will be fine.” Utnapishtim explains. This confuses Melusine, “I was?” She asked. “Yes. I need to tell you something…I’ve been lying to you this whole time. All your life you were to defend humanity against inhumanity but now it’s time for you to see and hear this. Have you noticed that snakes have a hatred towards you? How you are not like the others out there? Did you ever realized that?” Utnapishtim questioned. Melusine thinks about how snakes hissed at her. How she can sense things that normal people couldn’t. Sometimes she could crawl underneath small spaces so easily, like the time that the boys couldn’t go underneath or above the fence so Melusine offered to do it. She slither-crawled under the small space in the fence, got the baseball and gave it back to the boys who were amazed by her ability. Asking her how did she do that. “I have no idea, guess I’m different than average.” she’d always replied. She did remember that one time her skin was rough so she saw some dead skin about to come off so she peeled the skin and then her skin became soft as baby’s bottom. “Yes, I am aware of it but thought it was different than what I am.” Melusine admitted. “That is not normal but fear not, you are to defend humanity with this new power bestowed upon you.” said Utnapishtim. “You are the daughter of Echidna. The mother of all monsters.” Melusine was shocked for a second, she opened her mouth but nothing came out until now which stuttered of gasps. “I’m…what?” She whispered in impediments. Trying to sink in this new information that will change forever.

In the meantime; a young man, about 18 years of age, name Valentine Siegfried. He was asleep but then he woke up to a knock and a voice from behind the door, “Valentine, Valentine? You awake, Valentine?” “Huh? Who’s there?” Valentine asked, groggily. He is getting up as he stretched his arms. “It’s Thurio, sorry to disturb you.” said the voice outside his room. “No, no. It’s fine. I’m OK.” said Valentine, sleepily. He got up from his bed, grazing his hair as he heard Thurio said outside, “I’m glad you’re awake because today is Proteus’s 18th Celebration.” Valentine’s eyes opened more full to this, wondering. “Proteus’s.....Celebration....” His eyes widened, “That’s right.” whispered Valentine, remembering now. Valentine haven’t seen Proteus in a while. His best friend Proteus Benno is a free-spirited, fearless, heartfelt, kind, frisky, optimistic, awkward, gauche, verbose, idiosyncratic, feisty, adventurous, loving, intelligent, selfless, and imprudent. Valentine, on the other hand, is caring, reserved, warm, protective, kind-hearted, intelligent, and playful. However, Valentine remembered something that had happened between them that changed both of their lives: When they were kids. That’s when it happened. Young Valentine was asleep when he felt someone poking at him in the arm. “Valentine? Valentine? Are you sleeping, Val?” A voice whispered. Valentine moaned a little. “Proteus, what are you doing up this early?” He grumbled. Young Proteus pouted at him, “I can’t sleep. I was thinking about your powers, show me them again! Pleaaassee!” He begged. Valentine buried under the covers deeper. “I told you, in the morning.” He said. Proteus pouted, then he had an idea. He pulled the covers off and said smugly, “I dare you.” Valentine opened his eyes, a smirk crept upon his face.

The next minute, they were running down the steps and into the outside. While they sneaked outside, Proteus was so excited that he urged his friend to follow, “Let’s go, let’s go!” “Quiet, shush!” Valentine murmured. The two boys chuckled happily once outside they were as Proteus claps his hands with excitement, “Show me! Show me!”  He chanted. Valentine flexed his hand out as he constructs creations into his hands. It was glitter dust, he knew his friend liked pretty things, for a boy he was not like the rest of the boys. He liked sparkling jewels to look at but they make him glare away from the bright light. "Whoa." breathed Proteus. "Are you ready?" asked Valentine. "Yeah." Proteus said, nodding eagerly. Valentine then threw the dust in the air and it made glitter snow. "Awesome!" Proteus exclaimed, laughing. He pranced around as Valentine seems happy. "Have you seen this?" asked Valentine. He creates constructs of other things like dolls, such as a character he made. He ventriloquist as the doll, "I, am Reynard Zorro, the Prince of Jesters." Proteus let out a whooped as he embraced the doll. "Juan Bobo, you're the greatest!" He said. The two of them were having so much fun but Proteus was too excited that he want to have more entertainment. Valentine noticed how excited his friend was getting and couldn't keep up. “Hold on, Proteus.” He called out. Proteus did not heed, “C’mon, I’m having fun!” He hollered back. “Stop!” Valentine pleaded but Proteus didn’t. “Wooooo!” He shouted. “Proteus!” Valentine snapped, not realizing his powers had hit the eyes of his friend. “Aah!” Proteus yelped, falling down. Valentine is shocked as he hurried over to his friend. He had his friend in his lap, “Oh no, no.” wept Valentine. He and Proteus were like brothers, he hoped that he didn’t kill him. Just then, a woman’s voice called out to help them but she looked scolding: “Val, look at what you done.” It was their guardian and mentor name Bellisant. “I didn’t mean to.” Valentine started to say. Bellisant looked at him and took unconscious Proteus into her arms, “It’s OK, we’ll fix this.” She took him away to the lab. 

When Proteus stirred, he opened his eyes. “Proteus, are you OK?” Valentine asked. “Who’s that?” Proteus enquired. “It’s Valentine. See?” Bellisant said gently. “No…Who’s that next to the other?” Proteus said. Bellisant sensed something was wrong. “It’s me, Proteus. You can see me right?” She asked. “No, it’s all blurry. I can’t see, I can’t see.” said Proteus, tears in his eyes as he weep. Valentine was shocked, he was blubbering and leaves the room, running as he hurried to his room. Crying, wailing into his pillow; Valentine vowed to be careful with his powers. Never again he would hurt anyone again. The two of them never talked, Valentine withdrew himself from his best friend; fearing that he must be angry for triggering him blind. OK, not completely blind but partial. Still, Valentine did this to his friend and he could never forgive himself for what he did.
“Hi Val.” A soft spoken voice said. Valentine turned to see who it was. Proteus looked different! His hair looks neat, he was wearing glasses but he smiled nicely. Valentine squinted at him, “Proteus? Is that you? You look nice.” admitted Valentine. Proteus grinned, “Thanks, look at you. You’ve changed.” He complimented. “Yeah, I look kind of stuffy in this outfit.” remarked Valentine. “No, it looks good on you.” Proteus praised. Valentine walk pass a mirror and looked stunt to see himself. Proteus was right, it did looked good. He couldn’t help but smiled. “Yes, I guess it is. You look calm.” He said. “I am.” Proteus confessed. He looked away to look around the party, Valentine did too as he cleared his throat to say something. “You can see through those glasses?” He asked. “Yes. Val, it’s OK. I’m not completely blind. And it wasn’t your fault.” reminded Proteus. Valentine shuddered, then he composed himself. “It was, I hit your eyes.” said Valentine softly. Proteus placed his hand on his shoulder in a comfort manner. “No, it really was I was the wild one.” He whispered. Valentine looked over at him in shock. This was not the feisty, free spirited kid Valentine used to know. Now, Proteus is more reserved and cool-headed young boy. Valentine smiled, feeling better. He was about to say something else when Thurio interrupted with a tall, dark, and handsome man with grey whites woven on the side of his hair. “Boys? You do remember Jormugandr right?” He asked. 

Valentine and Proteus looked at him with dubious expressions. “Of course.” Proteus said. “How could we forget the man who was the one that caused our mentor’s death.” Jormungandr smirked down at him, “Yes. Always blame me, I was actually helping her—Not killing her.” denied the sinister looking man. Then turned and a leer crossed his face with delight before he simpered to Valentine and Proteus, “I’m sure you heard of my daughter.” A beautiful lady with raven haired waved, her lips red, and her skin is fair. She wore a backless dress that had one shoulder exposed and slits of the skirt which showed those slender legs. Valentine narrowed his eyes at the seductress, “Tiamet.” He remarked. The woman’s mouth curved into an erogenous leer. “Hello boys, we meet again.” She said in a feline alluring tone. “My daughter would like to dance with my dear boy Proteus. You have grown striking as well as Valentine.” Jormugandr said. Valentine and Proteus glanced at each other with disapproval smirks before looking back at Jormugandr, Proteus smiled nicely to cover up his smugness. “Thank you but…I don’t dance.” He said. Tiamet pretended to looked disappointed, Proteus sneered at Valentine, “But Val does.” He said. Valentine looked at him with disbelief, “What?” He asked. Tiamet took him by the arm, “Wonderful. Let us dance.” She said to a doubted Valentine, who glares at his friend. “Sorry Val.” thought Proteus. Valentine and Tiamet slow waltz, actually it wasn’t that bad. Tiamet was a wonderful dancer, Valentine stared at this raven haired beauty—how gorgeous she became but she had always been this way since the coming of age in their pasts. Valentine had to focus, he may admired how well she had grown but he couldn’t forget how she seduced both Valentine and Proteus. That witch! He realized that her violet-purple flashed at him. He looked away, “Some party.” said Valentine.

Tiamet nodded, “Yes. Speaking of it, so glad to see you and Proteus talking to each other again. You two haven’t talk since you were kids, as I heard, would you mind telling me? You can trust me.” Tiamet batted those succulent eyes of hers. “Not again.” thought Valentine, unsurprised. Things as young teens haven’t changed have they? “It’s nothing.” claimed Valentine. Tiamet was dubious, “No? All right, I guess I shall fall.” She gracefully fell backwards however Valentine caught her in time. He looks up at Proteus smirking, Valentine shoots him a droll, help-me look as he draws her up gently as Tiamet showboats gracefully again. “If you succumb, let me know I’ll carry you.” Valentine said with sarcasm. “You are sweet.” Tiamet beamed. Once the dance was over; Val went back to his friend who was chuckling. “Guess the shoe was going on the other foot.” joked Proteus. Valentine sighed, “More like the heel was going around my leg.” He commented. Proteus shake his head, laughing. “You OK?” Valentine laughs with him, “Fine. She’s trying to get all hot under my skin. I felt like my naïve self for a moment but now…I got this voice in my head, saying ‘never again.’” He explained. “I’m glad.” Proteus praised. Both friends smiled as they look around the celebration. Just then, Valentine hears something, it sounded like something was sizzling. “What the--?” But it wasn’t him, the sizzling sound was getting louder and then thick looking squiggled lines but they were big circles. These creatures were cobras, their heads popped up and hissed at the crowd, which panic ensued. Thurio cried, “Snakes!” Everyone ran away from the snakes as Valentine and Proteus looked ready to fight. But the snakes didn’t attacked as they hissed and sniffed the air with their tongue. “Can somebody explains to me what’s going on?” stipulated Tiamet. 

Suddenly there is new music in the air. Someone is strutting down the steps, the crowd looks as they looked startled. Valentine and Proteus are disconcerted by this vision of the figure. It was a young lady with her hair wavy tresses and her eyes looked alluring. She wore a high waist skirt, like a mermaid. A bandeau top that showed her midriff with tattoo-like marks from her arms and back. She had jewel beads cascading on the side of her face, almost snake like. She wore crisscrossed high heeled sandals. Beautiful, mysterious, and elegant she was. “Who is that?” Proteus murmured to his friend. Valentine shrugs feebly, completely dazed. The young lady sauntered over as she motioned the snakes to fall back, which they comply. The young lady smiled, “Look at this, a nice party here and I wasn’t invited.”  She said. Tiamet stepped forward, “What is this? Are these brood of vipers yours?” She demanded. The woman turned to look and then back, “Yes, they are. Guess we got off of the wrong foot didn’t we?” She remarked. Jormugandr narrowed his eyelids into slits. “I know you…Yes, you are Melusine. The Chosen One, am I right?” He asked. Valentine and Proteus are taken aback by this information. Bellisant had mention about the chosen one but not one of them ever dreamed it was a girl. Melusine smirks, “At your service.” She said with a suave genuflect. “I’ll bet Utnapishtim took good care of you, m’lady. Pardon my amusement, but how is he doing since his family burnt in that awful explosion?” said Jormugandr with a sadistic grin. Melusine smiled back, “Oh. He’s recovering well but he wants to know how are you doing since that freak accident in Central Africa?” She sneered.

Jormugandr glares at her, then he hissed as he displaying his fangs. His eyes became reptilian and he looked like a lizard. The crowd shrieked in fear, they ran away but Valentine, Proteus, and Thurio stay as they watch in tremor while Melusine suddenly became half reptilian. Her fingernails got longer, her eyes became reptilian too. Her back was scale-y and then she slithered on the floor as she prepared herself. Jormugandr was on his hands and feet, his knees were bent as he looked like a lizard! He darted at Melusine, who defend herself and hissed at him. She darted at him and bite him hard on his shoulder. “Father!” Tiamet cried in fear, she glowered at Melusine and then she gazes over at Valentine and Proteus. She darted quickly to them as she bared her fangs. Valentine and Proteus recoiled from her but she held firm. “Listen to me, you cure my father or these boys die.” threatened Tiamet. “You can relax, harlot. I didn’t poison your father. Snakes don’t intentionally poison humans unless they are in danger.” said Melusine. Tiamet was stunt, feeling senseless. She loved her father and she was concerned of him. She forgot about this information. She released the boys with force, “Silly me. I forgot about this. I must be pretty stupid.” said Tiamet angrily with teeth clenching. Melusine smirked and she strolled over to Proteus, who had hit a column. He was clutching his head. Valentine was on the opposite side, he and Melusine locked eyes for a moment as Melusine smiled at him with a wink. Valentine is confused by this. 

Melusine ambled towards Proteus looked at him, touching his arm. “Are you OK?” Melusine said with a soft, timid voice. Proteus is surprised that she wasn’t so dangerous. That tone of hers sounded harmless. It sounded so sweet! Proteus blushed at her face, which she looked human. “Thank you.” He said in a reserved voice. Just then, Melusine felt a hot pain in her shoulder, the wound where she had been bitten begin to pulse. Proteus takes notice of this. Melusine looked behind but was disappointed to find Jormugandr and Tiamet were not there. “Damn bastards got away.” thought Melusine, “Pfft! Oh well, there is always next time.” Then, Melusine feels her skin growing rough and feel like it is shedding so she takes the dead skin and peels it off. Once Melusine ripped it off, she touches her skin to feel how soft it is however she lose consciousness. Later, Melusine was unconscious on an autopsy table while Proteus examines the wound on the strange girl’s shoulder. He wore rubber gloves as his fingers grazed gently there but he pressed on the wound. However, he noticed her fangs. "So, is she even human Proteus?" asked a young female. She was a moe with blue hair and matching eyes which were innocent. She had on a Sweet Lolita dress contrast with the assistant smock underneath. Her name is Julia Cyrus. With her are a bunch of other misfits. There was a guy with spiky white hair and his eyebrows converge, forming one long brow. His name is Launce Stein and his friend, a guy with blonde ahoge hair is Speed Baron. There was a girl with red-pink hair who wore Hime Lolita, this was Julia's oldest sister Lucetta Cyrus. And lastly, there was a tall man who had short fiery sideburns, his name is Antonio Wolfgang. 

"Just only half, she looked normal when she entered the party. But look at this." said Proteus. He lifted Mel's eyelids, they looked normal than they did before. "I saw her eyes...They weren't like Jormugandr's oculus. Her optics were elliptical, like a cat eye. Round pupils with a square onto the side." explained Proteus. He took his fingers away and shuts Melusine's eyelid. "What about the wound?" Antonio asked. Proteus looks at it, "She's been bitten before, perhaps she wasn't aware that she was not human completely." He said. "You think so?" Julia asked with surprise. Proteus nodded, "Yes. Who knows if she acknowledge her true nature or not." "Yeah, we should find out. If she is human or a creature." said Julia. Melusine has another dream: She dreamed of a snake woman caressing the neck of a human before biting into it like a vampire. Gasping, shuddering, venom and blood mixed is deadly as blood will suffer of poison. Why was she like this? Why did fighting made her feel defeated? What was the matter with her? She wasn't sure but whatever she was, Melusine was never going to be human again. Normal was not an option anymore. 

Melusine stirred and writhed on the autopsy table, she was moaning in her sleep. “No…I can’t…I can’t do it….You—you can’t make me kill humanity. I won’t let you!” She mumbled. She clenched her hands into fists as she gritted her teeth. “The venom…No, please! I don’t care if you are my mother, I am nothing like you!” She muttered. Then, she woke up as she is shocked two familiar figures there. “What? It’s you two.” She panted. Valentine and Proteus were standing opposite of one another, they were waiting for her to wake up and they were satisfied to see her awake. “Yeah, thanks for what happened back there.” Valentine praised. “We really appreciate you.” Proteus added. Melusine blushed, “Eh, yeah.” She said. Proteus sat next to her, “Listen, we have some questions to ask you.” He said. Melusine shrugged. “I’m willing to tell you what I already know.” She said. Proteus nodded, “OK, talk.” But Melusine shook her head. “First thing’s first. You two need to tell me your names so I share my gratitude to both of you.” She answered. Valentine smirked, “I think you got half of that part backwards, should we know your name to give you our token of gratitude?” He said with a chuckle. Melusine looked senseless as she face palms her forehead. “Yeah, right.” She responded. “I’m Valentine.” said Valentine. Proteus also introduced himself, “My name is Proteus.” “And I’m Melusine. My friends call me Mel.” rejoined Melusine. Melusine explained of the strangeness that was going on when she was a child as she was different that average human. She wasn’t aware of being a snake woman until she was told by her guardian. Valentine and Proteus listened, they were both shocked that Echidna is Mel’s mother. “So, freaked out yet?” Melusine asked, when she finished. “No.” They claimed but they glared at one another. Melusine stifled her laughter, they were so funny. “So, like, you two are brothers?” She asked. Valentine looked baffled, Proteus smiled as if that were a compliment. “No.” said Valentine. “Yes.” said Proteus.

Valentine started to say, “Well, we’re not related but…” Proteus finished for him, “…We were raised by the same guardian. So, that counts. Not really blood related.” Melusine’s eyes brightened, they looked human-like. “Oh. Awesome.” She said. In a flashback; Melusine had learned from her master that Echidna was once human when she met Mel’s father, Kerkorps. Kerkorps is a serpentine human as he impregnate her; resulting her giving birth to Melusine and then she became a snake woman. Melusine learned about her family, her relatives to be exact: Lamia was her aunt, she was also the child eating vixen. Her grandmother was Madame White Snake, her uncle is Glycon—Lamia’s husband who was once human before he became a snake man. There was cousins too; Grootslang, Fafnir, and Nuwa. Melusine looked at the family relatives’ crest: It had a saw scaled viper, Russian viper, Common krait, and the Indian Cobra. Melusine discover about Jormugandr’s spy proxies who are half human, half serpent hybrid. A young lady name Biancabella Aguna is a self-centered, pompous, insolent, and malevolently teenage valley princess but she remains a kind hearted, sweet, yet compassionate girl. As for Ferrand Ladon; he’s a cold, mysterious, bravado, and snide young man but benevolent yet reserved. Biancabella lost her sister name Samaritana but she is somehow reincarnated as a garter snake in a dream. In the past, Biancabella lost her left arm and her vision as she wanted to commit suicide. But a garter snake stopped her in time as the snake restored Biancabella’s eyesight and arm, she wonders if this was her sister! Biancabella and her allied partner, Ferrand Jaculus are spy proxies who work for Jormugandr. 

 “Hey, you OK?” A voice interrupted her, snapping Melusine out of her reverie. “Huh?” She turned back to Valentine and Proteus. “You were just staring out into space.” Valentine said. Melusine looked shy, “Oh, it’s nothing. I—um…” But then a voice from the distance called out, “Mel!” Proteus peered over, “Wait, what is that?” He asked, looking behind Melusine. It was Lucille, skipping and running to greet her friend. “Mel, hi!” Lucille called out. Melusine was stunt by this, “Lucille? Derek? Max?” Lucille clasp her hands together and rocked back & forth on her heels. “Yup!” “How did you guys find me?” asked Melusine. “This man, name Antonio, came to contact our master. He was very familiar with Utnapishtim.” Derek said, gesturing towards Antonio who nods with a smile. Melusine is admiration, she stared and smiled at Antonio. “Ohhh.” She said. Lucille cut to the chase by waving her arms with excitement, “We have an assignment for you! There is a princess being held by Jormugandr and we need to save her!” She cried out. Valentine and Proteus turned heads to the trigger-happy girl. “A princess?” They both asked in unison. Lucille beamed. “Her name is Silvia Odette.” She confirms. Somehow the two boys took interest in this. Why does that name sound familiar? “May I come with you?” Valentine asked. Melusine turned to him in surprise, she grinned from ear to ear. “Yes.” “I will as well.” Proteus volunteered. Valentine looked at him with disbelief, “What?” He said with disbelief. “Me too!” Julia called out. “This should be fun.” remarked Launce. “Don’t forget about me!” Lucetta said. “I’m coming!” Speed exclaimed. “Room for one more?” Antonio asked gallantly. “The more the merrier.” said Melusine. Max, Derek, and Lucille seemed unsure about this. “But, Mel? Isn’t this too much?” Max asked. “Don’t be silly, isn’t it great to have an alliance with people like us?” Melusine said. Lucille clapped her hands with delight. “Cha Cha!” She chants as she dances around happily. And an adventure they head out to!

“Tell me again, why we are doing this?” moaned Lucille. The entire alliance gang were hiking in the forest, they were trekking for almost an hour as it seems. “We are going to save Miss Odette. For she is to be rescued.” explained Melusine. “But why do we have to hike like this this? I didn’t wear sneakers and my feet are killing me already!” whined Lucille. “Luc, listen to me, this is our next assignment.” said Melusine with a sigh. “We are going to rescue and that’s final.” “I know, but can we have a ride to Jormugandr’s castle? Puhleeeeeeeaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzeeeee?” begged Lucille. Melusine shook her head, “Nope. Sorry. We gotta be sneaky, use our stealth.” She said. Lucille pouted, Julia looked guilty so she pulled out something from her backpack. “Here.” Julia said, handing her a shoe box. Lucille’s eyes widened in amazement. “What is it?” She gasped. “It’s a pair of new shoes. I kept one with me just in case, I always come prepared.” replied Julia, blushing. Valentine looked at Proteus with an astonished eyed glance, Proteus gave him a ‘you don’t want to know’ gesture while shaking his head. Immediately, Lucille took off her sandals and put on the new shoes. “Oooh, they feel comfy!” She squealed. She bounced up and down. Lucetta patted her sister’s shoulder, “That was sweet of you to do that sis.” She said. Julia beamed with pride and looked to see Proteus nodded at her. Julia blushed, her smile was brighter. “Guess you really have some good people. I’ll bet you’re the strongest.” Melusine said. “Heh. I could beat Valentine if I wanted to.” bragged Proteus, competitively. “Oh yeah? I’m much more powerful than you.” Valentine boasted. Proteus smirked at him, excited, “Wanna bet?” He challenged. “I dare you.” defied Valentine. Proteus leered, Melusine smiles at this. “Then it’s settled. Let’s do this! I’ll race both of you!” She announced. Valentine looked at her surprised, but Proteus wasn’t too impressed. “Ready, set, GO!” cheered Melusine. Valentine and Proteus glance at each other with haughty sneers before running, Melusine was much quicker, while the others followed them behind them. Proteus sneered at Valentine, who was looking straight ahead with an excited grin. Melusine ran, giggling with glee.

Finally, Mel reached to a clearing and jumped up and down. “Woo hoo! I win!” She cheered. Valentine and Proteus panted as they stopped. “Hey, good game.” praised Melusine. Valentine and Proteus looked at her, then they nodded. “Yeah.” They both said before eyeing at each other with arrogant stares. Melusine looked to see a bridge which leads to a castle. A dark castle, though as a tower is seen from afar. “Wow. Nice palace here.” said Melusine. “Yyyyyyyyup!” A voice called out. The others looked around as they spotted a 15 year old boy on top of a tree. Melusine squinted up at the strange boy. “Who are you?” She asked. The boy jumped up and flipped in the air before landing on the ground safely. “I’m glad you ask, my friend. I, am the Prince of all Jesters. All good humor comes from me. I am Reynard Zorro.” declared the strange boy with over dramatic tone. Valentine and Proteus looked at Reynard with shock. “Reynard? Zorro?” Valentine asked. Reynard punched his fists to his sides and looked hilariously proud. “Reynard!” Proteus said with a smile. Reynard brightens up, “Yeah, remember me?” He enquired. Valentine looked astonished. “He’s real?” He asked. “You exist?” questioned Proteus. “Yup.” Reynard nodded. “You know him?” Melusine asked. Proteus turned to her, “This is Reynard Zorro. He was created by Valentine when we were kids.” He explained. Valentine started to smile a little, “I remember…But you were just a figment of my imagination.” He said to Reynard. “Oh no, I may be a pigment of your imagination but I existed since the day I was born.”
“Can you help us, Mr. Zorro?” asked Melusine. “What for?” Reynard asked. “We’re trying to rescue a princess in this castle? Do you know how we can sneak in?” explained Derek. “Oooh, there’s a big boo-boo with this one bro’her. The princess, Silvia Odette, is being held in a tower. See the tower?” said Reynard. There was a tower that resembled a serpent. “Yes?” Melusine asked. “Yup, she’s being held in there.” Reynard explained. “The only way you can get to her is by getting a car key from one of the guards. But beware, Jormugandr has security of great snakes like kraits and garters.” Melusine nodded, “OK. Guess it’s go time.” She said. And she and her gang head over to the castle by crossing the bridge and to the castle. They managed to be stealthy from the guards, kept hidden from them at all times. “All right, guys! Let’s split up and see what we can find.” whispered Melusine instructively. “Valentine? Proteus? Reynard? You guys come with me?” She turned to the others and said: “Derek? Go with Antonio. Max? I’m paring you up with Launce and Speed. And Lucille? You are going with Lucetta and Julia. Do me a favor, behave! And don’t draw attention to yourself. Everyone clear on that?” The others nodded. “OK, let’s roll!” Melusine muttered, but louder for the allies to hear. All four groups moved in opposite directions. Not realized that someone was looking out at them. Melusine, Valentine, Proteus, and Reynard were sneaking about the whereabouts until Melusine’s skin started to itch, she looks to see that her skin broke down in a rash. “Skin shedding?” Valentine guessed. “Yes.” Melusine said. “Can you peel it off?” asked Proteus. Reynard’s eyes widened, confused. Melusine nodded, “I could.” She said. So she did. And boy did it hurt! “Aah!” She gasped and moaned softly. She panted after getting it off, “Ouch….” She looked at the skin she peeled off, the four of them groaned in disgust. It was covered in blood spots, blemish, acne, and grime. Melusine tossed it aside as they continue to look around. Not realizing that one of the guards had discovered the snake skin while he was on patrol.

The guard enter the throne room and stood up straight to report of their discovery, “Sire, we just receive word that a piece of snake skin was found on the ground.” Jormugandr smiled, “Excellent. She is here.” Jormugandr said. He pulls out his microphone, which blared in the speakers: “Attention, we just received word of the intruders are here. Find Valentine and Proteus, bring them to me. Keep them viable.” He said. Jormugandr glanced at Tiamet who looked pained. He then comfort her, “Tiamet, my little princess…My sweet girl…I comprehend of your affections for them still, my daughter. I will make them a proposal they cannot decline. For your sake. I yearn they will consent.” He said. Tiamet nodded, she was thinking about her teen days with Valentine and Proteus. As a young teenager; Tiamet started off arrived at her new house, she is exhausted. She meets with new people who she does not know yet, two of them are Valentine and Proteus. She stayed up too late with her as she has a lack of sleep. However, Tiamet bonds fast with Valentine & Proteus as she develops feelings for the both of them. She make promises that their friendships will last forever! But these boys are gorgeous, with innocent eyes even though you know they can't be trusted, you still want to trust them. Soon, Tiamet got naughty as she played games with their mind, manipulating them but deep down she was hurting herself. Valentine acknowledge of Tiamet’s manipulation as he wrote a note to Proteus, who was shocked and hurt of what she was doing. Including evidence of her seduction and her lies. “Daughter. Have patience, dearest. Your boys will be here soon enough.” Jormugandr reassured her. Tiamet looked perturbed, but nodded. “Yes, Father.” In the meantime; there were two figures watching the monitors of the control room: It was Biancabella and Ferrand. Biancabella has Tareme eyes, a petite figure, and little hands & feet. Ferrand was a slender young man with almost no adipose tissue, little to no muscle, and no body or facial hair. Large, expressive Tsurime eyes and he wore glasses with them. The door automatically opens, Biancabella looks up as an annoyed look on her face but she suddenly looks surprised. “Lady Tiamet!” Biancabella gasped. She stood up to curtsy. Ferrand bowed to her. Tiamet crossed her arms as she looked strict to them. “Keep an eye on those screens.” She ordered. “Yes ma’m.” Biancabella announced. “Right away.” Ferrand looked troubled at Tiamet but he returned to his work. Just then, a guard enters with something to report: “M’lady, we also know that Valentine and Proteus are rumored to be here. It is not confirmed but we’re still investigating.” He said. Tiamet was pleased to hear this, “Good. They are here, that’s all that matters. And Melusine is here, to rescue the princess.” She said. Ferrand looked away, not wanting his hopefulness to show but Tiamet could see it. She placed her arms around him securely in an embrace.

“Dearest Ferrand. My diminutive emir, my benign fellow.” She turned the boy to face her as she cupped his chin, continuing to speak to him. “I understand of your dedication for the Mustafa, my scion. I will convey her here as she cannot flee. For your sake, I hope she will comply. For now, have forbearance, she will be here soon enough.” Ferrand nodded, looking uneasy. “Yes, Lady Tiamet.” He said. Later, Ferrand is seen working as his mind was on other things until someone barged the door opened that made him jump so much that his glass slid almost off but he adjust himself. He glared out to hear an annoying voice: “Hey, Ferrand!” Biancabella called out. Her hair was a mess. Her dress was splattered with water that she had been splashed and soap was dripping down from her clothes and hair. “I’m, like, here. I’m back.” She said, shutting the door. Ferrand eyed her suspiciously. “Where were you?” He asked. Biancabella hurried to her walk-in closet as she ranted, “Like, I had to take care of some things with the other servants. It was all so messy and complicated, OMG! You should’ve, like, seen it!” She said peeking out and going back in. Ferrand smirked, shaking his head. “Uh, Ferrand? Like, do you where my purple dress is?” called Biancabella. “Still mending from the previous incident you wore it.” He answered back. A shoe flew over to him but Ferrand dodged it with ease as Biancabella’s voice ringed out. “OMG! Like, really? Man, this is like amusing!” exclaimed Biancabella. “Hey, watch it!” Ferrand snapped. 

But Biancabella ignored him as she came out, “Ooooh! Like, what about this?” She said. She wore a one shoulder dress that showed a little of her cleavage and midriff. She squealed with excitement. Ferrand shake his head, “Mmm-mmm, absolutely not.” He replied dryly. Biancabella’s face fell, “Ugh! Fine!” She said. And sauntered back into her closet. Humming. Then, she gasps as she found another outfit. Ferrand continued his work as he has a vision of a woman doing a fouetté en tournant. In his mind, he sees himself as a young boy smiling and watching. In the next vision; Young Ferrand is afraid when his mother came in and gave him a magic box which had a ballerina dancing as pretty music tinkled. Little Ferrand started to relax as he smiled. Later, Young Ferrand was tucked in as his mother came to tell him something. “My son. You must be ready for the Chosen One, she will come and save us from monsters.” His mother said. “There are monsters, Mama?” asked Young Ferrand. “Yes, they’re monsters lurking in every corner. But the chosen one will defeat them however the Anointed One has a secret…She’s one of those monsters.” said Ferrand’s mother. Ferrand looked at her with shocked, “What?” Back in the present; Ferrand always wanted to know what his mother means but she never got the chance to explain. Only this time, Melusine, Valentine, Proteus, and Reynard were sneaking away as they look around. Just then, Reynard started to sing: “Mary had a little demon, little demon, little demon. Mary had a little demon, who was meek and fire as Poe.” “What does that mean?” Valentine asked. Reynard was quiet for a moment, “I don’t know!” He exclaimed. Melusine, Valentine, and Proteus tried to shut him up. Too late! The four of them were spotted.

“You there! You are on reserved terrain! Release your artilleries and yield or we will use deadly dynamism.” said a soldier over the speakers. Melusine unleashed her snake powers and she took down the guards. Hissing, attacking them with her agility as she went. Then she straightened up and sneered, “Sorry, not happening!” called Melusine. She and the other three ran off from the guards. Angry at this incompetence; Jormugandr turned on the microphone for the speakers, “What the hell is happening down there? Guards, get off your posteriors and investigate! I’ll be in my chambers, don’t let those dragons show up here!” He commanded. Melusine scoffed at this, “Dragons? Wow. Really, dragons have teeth and snakes have fangs.” She retorted. Derek and Antonio team up against the guards, they apprehended the guards. Melusine, Valentine, Proteus, and Reynard were running from the guards when one of the guards made an announcement, “Warning! We are padlocking up on all zones immediately. Soldiers must—gah!” He is knocked out, he stumbles forward. Jormugandr glares down at him and speak over the public address system, “Enough, you fool! Give heed, you basilisks. No one damages my territory like this. I foresee it was valued.” He declared. “His arrogance is like a gas in the buttocks.” Reynard remarked. Melusine giggled, “That’s funny. Yeah, he’s so arrogance.” complimented Melusine. “He really shouldn’t get too cocky.” Proteus said. They saw more guards coming however they keep fighting. Melusine was swifter than the other guards. Snake bite, fangs bled out the venom, licking her suggestive lips and smiling at how she poisoned them. “Would you kindly step down there and maimed those brood of vipers?” requested Jormugandr over the megaphones again. Reynard was irritated by this, “We, are NOT, A brood of VIPERS, SIR!” He exclaimed. Melusine looked at him in disbelief, “Um, I am.” She claims. Reynard was big eyes of amazement and shock. “Oh….never mind.” He finally admitted. Melusine, again, chuckled. Dissatisfied, Jormugandr turned to his men, who were ready to do what their master wants them to do. “Release the cannons, sojourn these mutants.” announced Jormugandr. It was getting a lot more difficult for Proteus. So he did something he’d never done: Took off his glasses and outstretched his hand to reveal an eye. Melusine gasped in fear, Valentine was startled by this.

The eye saw through the weak points of the padlocks. The eye in the palm started shooting them all, making them loose, by the so called ‘eye bullet’. The men cried out in fear, they never knew Proteus could do that. Valentine, Melusine, and Reynard were awestruck by this. “Which one of you simpletons shut down the deadbolts? Disembark there and repair it.” instructed Tiamet over the loudspeakers. “Proteus…I…..” Valentine stammered, “I thought you were blind. I mean, I thought your vision was blurry.” Proteus looked at him, “Yeah but I guess I should’ve told you the truth.” He said. The eye on the palm of his hand begin to see more of the guards as it shoots bullets at the guards, some of them ran in fear but Proteus didn’t stopped. “You see, you accidentally hit in me in the eyes and I was temporarily blind. But I was given a freak operation, the only way I could retain my eyesight was to accept a donation of a tenome. This was the only way I could see again.” Blasted bullets from the eye, to the enemy guards. They were all knocked out. The speakers were blaring again, “Eerghh, just mutilated them! How in the name of Hades do you fools miscarry your targets?!” hissed Tiamet. Melusine, Valentine, Proteus, and Reynard kept running as Proteus continued explaining, “The operation was graphic to explain but I can tell you how they made me into something different.” More bullets from the eyes in his hands. “How much is my father compensating you morons for? Take them down!” susurrated Tiamet. “The first thing they did was slit my hands opened, then they place these eyes, which also connect me to my eyes which they fixed my normal vision. The whole connection from the hand eyes to my real eyes was painful, linking nerves and vessels together. My eyes bleed. It hurt, but I could see again. But my palm eyes could be used to see and also how I can strike at my opponents. I would never be blind again however I had to hide the fact that I was no longer ordinary, people would find me different. I didn’t want to be different, I want to be normal.” Proteus described. Valentine was shocked, “Why didn’t you say something before?” He asked finally. “I couldn’t, Val. You were feeling guilty at the time of that accident. I just…Couldn’t….” Proteus said sadly. Valentine realized that they were both hurt, afraid of being rejected instead of forgiven. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realized. I wish we could’ve make amends.”  said Valentine. “Yeah, we can still can right?” asked Proteus. Valentine nodded, “You still want to?” He asked. “Yeah.” said Proteus, the two friends shook hands. They embraced as both patted each other on the back. Melusine was touched by this, “Ohhh! I want a group hug.” She said. And she embraced them both.

Just then, a flash of light shine upon the four of them, Melusine gasped. A female snickered was broadcasted over the speakers, “I found you now, Melusine. You look fetching on monitor, boys. But you’ll be wholesome apprehended!” Tiamet’s voice purred. She started to fire away ricochet ammunitions but Melusine helped her friends dodged them with her snake slithering and meandering from the shells of the cannon. Tiamet chuckled sinisterly, “You believe that I’m petrified of a viper? I was born half lamia!” She exclaimed. Tiamet started launching cannons rapidly. Melusine, Valentine, Proteus, and Reynard dodged them. They were damaging the region of the castles and other places. “I’ll take care of the cannons!” announced Reynard. “Mel! You take care of the key card. Men! You get the girl!” The other three nodded, “Right.” They chorused. They head off in opposite directions. Valentine and Proteus were dodging from the attacks when a cannon hit the tower and made an opening. “Hello?” A faint voice called. Valentine turned to see who it was, he was astounded to see who it was. His face brightens up, “Eureka, Silvia.” He said to Proteus, who looks up and is stunted to see a beautiful maiden. She has long Godiva hair which was razzle dazzle rose. Sky blue eyes. A fair complexion. Valentine is enthralled by this beauty, she was a dazzling young woman! “That’s—?.....She’s an angel.” Proteus thought, totally bewitched. Valentine climbs up as Silvia spoke up timidly, “Hi, I—um—I never get visitors that much and it’s a pleasure to meet you.” “You must be Silvia.” Valentine said. Silvia smiles brightly. “Yes, I am.” She said. “This is it? Take this cutie back with us. This won’t be so hard.” Valentine said, getting blushed in the face over how attractive looking Silvia was. Silvia noticed Valentine stumbling. “You OK?” Valentine caught his breath, “Yea—Yeah, I’m Valentine.” He introduced and then continues. “I apologize for this but I gotta get you out of here and to Melusine. We are going back to Mel. With or without the snakes in a tower.” Valentine bridal carried Silvia, who was blushing, and he looked away to focus. They were attack by the guards however Valentine managed to get away from them and took them down. Silvia is enamored by Valentine for protecting her, while she coils her arms around his neck. Valentine blushed at this sight, but remained focused as they got away with Proteus, who was waiting. Meanwhile; Melusine looked around the dark caverns as she looked around, “OK.” She said to herself. “I’m going to find the guard who has the card key, get it from him, and liberate the princess. Just then, she heard a sound of a rattle. Followed by a chuckle. Melusine’s eyes looked around the room, looked left and right. Then, up and down. Behind. Nothing however she saw something, a figure as it looks like.  “W—who’s there?” She called out to the figure in the shadows. “What’s the matter? You little scared?” A voice calls out. It was Ferrand, he looked bravado as he held something in his hand in front of her. Then, he looked up and down at Melusine. “Look at you, let me guess. Mustafa? The Chosen One? Right? Looking for the princess? I have the card key.” Melusine held out her hand and said, “Then hand it to me or I’ll make you.” Ferrand smirked, his took off his glasses and his eyes became kaleidoscopic. “Will you?” He asked. Melusine stared at them, clearly not so spellbound. “Hmm….hypnosis. To put your victims in a trance just like the serpents do for food.” She said to the baffled Ferrand. “Sorry, boy. It doesn’t work on a snake girl like me. Now, if you would…?” Ferrand looked disappointed but then he said, “If you insist.” Melusine took the key card and smiled. “Well, well, Serpent Boy.” She purred. “Mel!” A voice called out. It was Valentine, who came running and said, “We got the girl. Let’s go!” Melusine brightened up, “Oh! That’s my exit cue.” She salutes and said, “Gracias!” Melusine flees from sight, Ferrand watched her go, completely impressed by just what happened.

When Jormugandr heard that Princess Silvia had escaped, he orders the two servants—Biancabella and Ferrand to confront them. “So, you let them get away.” Jormugandr said. “We were busy looking out for the intruders.” explained Ferrand. Jormugandr raised an eyebrow, “Is that so?” He asked. “Yes. You never gave us the training. Unlike some.” Ferrand remarked. Jormugandr stood and marched up to her until his face was close to hers. “You dare talk back?” He hissed. Then, Biancabella had to go and open her big mouth. “Like, it’s not fair we have to be treated like we’re nothing! You are, like, a horrible person—!” Jormugandr shuts her up with a slap. Biancabella fell to the ground, clutching her face. “You two are no longer part of my squad. Arrest these two here.” instructed Jormugandr. So Biancabella and Ferrand were arrested as they are going to be in there for a very long time. But something about this was going to change. Later, Melusine and her gang were heading down a hall. “Man o’ man, Old Jormug and his daughter Tia thought they could stop us. They almost defeated us, regardless next time their guards should have a little more venom. It’s a killer sensation.” She said. Then, she found a bar in the corner which sparks her interest. “Wow, Medusa’s Haven. This looks promising.” She remarked, gesturing towards Antonio and Derek. The two men broke in, surprising the crowd which was full of alcoholics and gamblers. Melusine sauntered in, “Ooooh, nice place you guys got here. But it needs some work, right?” She said. The leader came forward, his face looked funny like some sort of creature. “Ahhhh, A rat. Looks delicious.” Melusine replied witty. The rat faced leader licked his lips, or rather his buck tooth in the front. “Hello dear maiden.” He said in a nasal tone. “Hey there, yourself possum.” Melusine said. The rat faced man smiled, “You look like a price worth a fortune.” He complimented. Melusine was gallant but smug. “Yes I am. You want me so badly? You’ll have to get through an army of me first.” She defied. Stepping backwards and behind her crew. “Bring it on!” challenged the leader. He gestured to his men to come and restrain Antonio, who smirked at the leader. The leader looked confused as well as scared. Melusine smiled, giggling excitedly. Antonio threw them over his head, he seized the buck tooth leader and punched him so hard that his tooth fell off.

“It’s done.” announced Antonio. Melusine beamed, “Cool. Let’s transform this whole place into something hip.” She pronounced. Together, everyone pitched in to redesign their new home into a more beautiful environment. They were a gang, and the master commented: “We’re going to need a bigger place.” It was a joke but totally worth it. They loosen the tables and chairs, they turned the bar into something nice. “Can we make a something more exciting among this land?” asked Melusine, gesturing to the outside where all the grass and leaves, even the trees were. Derek immediately cut down the weeds in the ground and got rid of the big leaves. Melusine clapped her hands, delightfully. “Perfect, just flawless.” She said. Then, she flexed her hands and fingers as the snakes peeked out from hiding, Melusine crooned to them softly: “Come my dear children, I’ll take thee away into a world of enchantment and magic.” They settled into the environment but luckily these were under Mel’s control. So no snake can ever dare come near the other teammates. “My friends, I believe we found some other exiles who effects my concept. A betrayed trio.” announced Melusine. Everyone looked at her with disbelief, “Wait, you mean….?” Proteus started to say but Mel smiled more arrogantly. “That’s right. Apparently, this came in.” She holds out a letter and unfolds it which reads, “‘SOS—Signed Ferrand’.” “Oh geez!” moaned Valentine. Melusine closed the paper, she smiled happily. “Yup. Serpentine conduct--No question about it, but it perceives me of a particular, callous magnetism that we can maneuver to our benefit.” said Derek. Melusine glanced over at her friend, “Indeed, Derek. Pay attention guys, here’s what I want you do for me.” She declares. “Oh boy, this is fun! What is it?” Lucille asked excitedly. “Clean up this mess, we got guests deriving.” instructed Melusine. Lucille moaned, but Max and Derek pulled her as the others obeyed to her command. Melusine fix her appearance as she looked in a mirrored glass as she primed and smiled after she finished.

Far along, Biancabella was sleeping but Ferrand tried however visions of his past of his mother, who was a dancer nevertheless she was tortured by a Knight Templar persona who had killed Egle in front of Ferrand. Just then, there was a ringing as there were some voices as Ferrand and Biancabella woke up slowly to talking. “Hey turncoats, you got visitors. Your ‘cousin’ is coming to see you.” said a guard. This confused Ferrand and Biancabella. “Cousin?” Ferrand asked. The door buzzed before it opened, Melusine appeared as she ambles into the room. “Hello cousins, you don’t look so swell.” commented Melusine. The two guards approached to Meusine, “Listen, don’t stay too long. You got…” One of them started to say, but Melusine whipped her head at them. “All the time that I want?” She asked. The guards looked at her, who placed her slender arms around their necks as she spoke, “Did you really think that I would let them get eliminated?” “Um…” The guards stuttered. “Let me tell you, I am quite a slither.” Melusine said, she then inclined her neck and bite the guards on each of their necks; poisoning them. “Aaah!” They cried out before falling down. Ferrand stared at this sight, he looked up at Mel. “Impressive.” He said. Melusine ruffled her own hair. “Yes, my Snake Boy. Guess I have been enthralled by your expertise. Moreover, I suggested an amalgamation!” She explained. “Hmm?” Biancabella looked confused. “Fascinating. Go on.” said Ferrand. “I have come to unleash you from your prison.” answered Melusine. Ferrand cupped his chin in his hands. “A tempting invitation but what’s in it for the rest of us?” He said, gesturing to his colleague. Melusine grinned, “Let’s cut to the chase, I have someone you have to meet.” She said. Suddenly, A sword—a kitana—slashes the door wide opened. There was Derek, standing in the doorway. “This, my newcomers, is Derek the Slayer.” He introduced. Biancabella and Ferrand are shocked by this. “A mighty fine gladiator? Hot damn!” Biancabella exclaimed. “So, you ready for action?” asked Melusine. “Yeah.” Ferrand replied. “Ugh! Mel, I can’t break these walls down.” called Derek, grunting. “Why?” hollered Melusine. “They feel…hard, like some sort of steel.” Derek said. Melusine looked at him baffled, then she glared at Ferrand frantically. “You serious?” She asked. Ferrand looked apologetic. “Jormugandr got this whole place tight.” He explained. Melusine sighed with defeat. “Great!” She moaned. “I got this.” Antonio volunteered. He clapped his hands like he was praying, then he punched the wall and it broke down. Ferrand and the girls were awestruck by this, “Clever.” said Ferrand. Reynard skips around, “Let’s goooooo….Whoa, whoa!” He cried. Reynard looked at the gang, “It’s a long way down you guys.” He said, pointing down as there was an ocean. "Ohhhh!" moaned Biancabella. Melusine glanced at them. 

“OK, got a good place. Wait until my master, Utnapishtim, hears about you.” Melusine said. Biancabella looked at her with an outraged expression. “You, like, never told us about your master!” She wailed. Melusine seized them two of them as they went down to the river. “Let’s go! Hope you guys can swim!” She said, snubbing the screams of Biancabella. They dived into the water as they swam back to Master Utnapishtim’s place. As they got there; Melusine and the newcomers reunited with the others there as the master seemed content to see they’re alive. Introductions were made nicely. “Master Utnapishtim, I like you to meet Silvia, Reynard, Biancabella, and Ferrand. Silvia? Reynard? Biancabella? Ferrand? Meet Utnapishtim Nestor.” hosted Melusine. “Hi.” Ferrand said. “Hello.” replied Silvia. “How do you do.” Fanny answered in her sweet voice. Utnapishtim took Biancabella’s hands and shook them gently with a kind smile. “Welcome, my friends. Welcome to my….” He said but someone’s feet stormed in as a voice so loud and rude rumbles in the room, “All right, you assholes!” A gruff, tough guy barged in wearing a tank shirt that showed his muscular arms and wore military jeans with boots. “Which one of you thunderheads trashed my bar? And my boys?!” He growled. Derek, Max, and Lucille ran in. “Sorry master, but the guy just came in. He is the owner of the bar that Melusine took after Antonio defeated them.” explained Derek. Utnapishtim confronted him, he couldn’t not handle this rudeness. “Pardon me, but you are trespassing…Ah!” The master was pushed down hard as he tumbled down. “Master!” cried Lucille. Melusine was pissed, she glared at the buff guy who showed no remorse for what he did. “I don’t have time for games, nobody messes with me and gets away with it scot free! Personally, I don’t think you are the so-called Anointed One.” ranted the tough guy. Utnapishtim stood up, however Melusine put a hand in front and whispered, “I got this master.” She turned to the muscle guy. “Wow! Someone who doesn’t believe….A hero defending humanity from monstrosity.” She said. “Yeah, you think your hot shit don’t cha? Well, you know what I think! If you were the chosen one, kill me in front of all these people right now!” challenged the tough guy. Melusine raised an eyebrow at him. “You mean it? OK, as you wish.” said Melusine, pointing a gun at him.

The tough guy recoiled in fear. Max, Derek, Lucille, Valentine, Proteus, Silvia, Julia, Lucetta, Speed, Launce, Antonio, Reynard, Biancabella, and Ferrand looked on. Gasping in horror at this. Utnapishtim looked at Melusine, not in horror but with a calm façade. “Hey, sugar. Take it easy, I was kidding. I joke…C’mon.” The tough guy said, weakly. He winced away in horror as Melusine pulled the trigger. Surprisingly, the only came out was a balloon that says “BANG!” The tough guy looked confused, Melusine smirked. “So was I.” She said. Melusine giggled. The gang were relieved of this. Even the tough guy was relieved too, “Whew!” He sighed. Melusine had a syringe hidden in her hand, she hissed as she bared her fangs and attacked the tough guy with the injection. Then, she threw them over her crew. “Aah!” The others cried, they saw the tough guy’s body landed on the ground. “Ahem! My bad, no I wasn’t.” sneered Melusine. The others were horrified. “Mel!” Max cried. He thought the guy was killed by her. Melusine placed a hand on his shoulder, “Relax! He’s knocked out, when he wakes up he’ll find himself in an alley.” She said. The needle was actually a sedative, Melusine throws on the ground as she crushes it with her foot and paces slowly. “Y’know guys? Things have changed around here since. We’ve reached a new era, really. Fresh life, different people…even new-fangled enemies.” said Melusine. Her eyes looked serpentine, the others trembled with fear. But then Melusine brightens up, “But…Here I am!” She announced. “I, Melusine Varuna, am well rested and ready to turn Jormugandr’s whole world upside down. But I need you guys to tell me—you in or out?” Max, Derek, Lucille, Reynard, Valentine, Proteus, Silvia, Launce, Speed, Lucetta, Julia, Antonio, Biancabella, and Ferrand looked at each other before looking at Melusine. “We’re in!” The others exclaimed. “I can’t hear you.” Melusine said in a singsong voice. “We’re in!” Everyone cried. “Ladies?” Melusine asked. “We’re in!” said the girls. To the boys, Melusine asked: “Gents?” “We’re in!” They said. Melusine nodded with satisfactory. “Cool beans.” She said. “Antonio? Derek? Dispose of the brute here.” Antonio and Derek glanced at one another before they picked him up and carried him out. Melusine glanced back at the others with a smile, “You guys’ support place a warmth in my heart. I think we’re going to be good friends with one another.” She said. “Master, I like to make a suggestion. Can Reynard can be your assistant?” Master Utnapishtim nodded, “I could use a little help if you guys are away on missions. I’m getting old, I can’t do a lot on my own.” He said. Reynard seemed to see this as a good offer, “I’ll accept this offer.” Reynard replied. “It’s settled! Let’s do this!” declared Melusine. “You sure this is a good idea, Master Nestor?” whispered Max. The master nodded, “Yes. After all, Melusine is the second in command. I’m just the adviser and leader.” He mumbles back to him. Max nodded, he wonders that Melusine being half human and half snake could do some danger on her mind. Could it be a new perspective of her to take down her evil she-viper mother? Well, whatever’s got into her, this is going to be interesting. 

“So, you’ll do it.” Jormugandr said. This wasn’t a question. “To take down Melusine, we will accept this proposal.” said the leader. “The first thing though is that we must sent spies to observe on these people. We will see if they are ripe for the slaying.” Their spies are two boys: 15 year old Drake Hunter is a goofy, hyperactive, hot blooded, and crazy boy who finds creepy, mentally insane girls a ‘demons’. His first encounter was in his childhood, two 6 year old girl name Miranda Storm and Lily Angelo. They were cute and sweet little girls to adults, however when the grownups weren’t around; the two girls turned out to be bad tempered, spoiled, dictating brats who made Drake into their slave. He was forced to do their chores, he was dressed up and put on makeup. When things don’t go their way, Miranda and Lily would get angry as they throw tantrums. Since then, Drake is scared of feisty, kooky dames. Drake and his best friend, Tillden Owlglass, who was a good hearted, witty wisecracker. They are heading over to a performance where a young girl, a teenager name Biancabella Joculus was going to sing a solo. “Being pretty isn’t so exactly divine, it is a price to pay but who cares about that because it’s all about me. And there’s nothing, not one mortal will ever see the fairest of them all…”

Biancabella begin to sing in a sweet voice as Drake and Till were amazed by her song. Just then, there was an inappropriate noises as a man was imitating Biancabella with his friends laughing. “Man! How rude!” muttered Drake. “I better he would make a performer….In a reject comedies.” whispered Till. They both howled with laughter. But stopped as the clown guy was making much loud noises however the crowd turned to glare at him. Fanny was irritated at this. She was angry, very upset. “STOP! CEASE! DESIST!” screeched Biancabella. The crowd was stunt, the jokester stopped as he looked scared too. Reynard Zorro rushed over to the crowd as Biancabella exclaimed, “GET THAT SON OF A GUN OUT OF MY CONCERT, IMMEDIATELY!” She said as she pointed to the comedian guy that made fun of her. “All right, you guys are out of here!” Reynard ordered, the funny guy and his friends slipped away. Biancabella marched off the stage. She went over to Reynard with gritted teeth, “Reynard? Like, the song is called ‘Fairest of Them All’, right?” She asked tightly. Reynard looked nervous so Biancabella grabbed him by the shirt collar, “Right?” She nearly shouted. “Y—Yes! Yes it is!” stammered “And what is the song about?” Biancabella asked sweetly. Reynard gulped. “WHAT IS THE SONG ABOUT, IDIOT?!” yelled Biancabella. “You. You are the fairest of them all, the most high, and the princess.” Reynard answered quickly.

Biancabella lets him drop to the floor as she said, “Precisely.” She started glaring at the fearful crowd, “I am, like, the cool girl! Like, the regal beauty! I. Am. The Fairest. Of. Them. ALL!”  squawked Biancabella. She showed her serpentine eyes and scales which horrifies the crowd. “One more distraction and I’ll inject you with the worst poison of your life! We clear?” warned Biancabella. The crowd nodded obediently, without hesitation. Fanny’s anger faded as she became her usual self, she became her cheerful self again. “OK! Like, let’s do that again from the top.” claimed Fanny cheerfully. She sashayed back to the stage. Drake, who had seen all this, was wide eyed horrid. It was like his childhood all over again! The chores, the frilly dresses, the makeup. “BURN THE DEMON!” He cried. “BURN THE RAGING DEMON! TAKE THE TNT AND BLOW HER UP!!!!” Till gags him, hauled him from their seats, and left the concert. Out the door they went. Drake was still sermonizing with terror, “SHE’S A DEMON, SAVE ME! AH, AH, AH! SAVE ME, SHE’S A DEMON! HEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, DEMON! I WILL NOT REST UNTIL YOU ARE VANQUISH FROM EXISTANCE! TNT, TNT!” 

Till and Drake waited until Biancabella was finished with her concert. When Biancabella emerged from her performance, she left as she walked home. Till and Drake followed her quietly. During this time, Biancabella ultimately noticed someone…or two someone following her so she turned to see Till and Drake cheesing at them. Biancabella is freaked out but she maintained her stuck-up basin lassie personality. “Can I, like, help you?” Biancabella asked in her snooty, valley girl tone. Drake and Till grinned so much that their pearly white teeth are showing. “Yes, we like to apologize for our rudeness. That one guy you yelled at, we were rude too.” Till said. Biancabella stared at them funny, “Um…That’s fine…..” She said. But Drake interrupted, “NO! No, no, No! We were SAVAGES! Imbeciles! Dingleberries! Count Fartulas! Stinky doo-doo faces! And we want to make it up to you.” He said. Biancabella was still not buying it. “Really. What do you want to do for me?” She asked. Till didn’t know what to say but Drake did, “Anything! Wash or wipe the windows, clean the gutters! ANYTHING!” He begged with excitement. Biancabella was convinced, she thought for a moment. “Hmm….OK, Tom and Jerry. There is one thing I want you to do for me.” She finally admits. Drake and Till looked at her, “Tom?” Drake asked with alarm. “Jerry?” Till questioned. They both laugh, “You’re so cute!” Till praised. A few minutes later; Biancabella showed them what they need to do. 

"I can, like, use you two as helpers, it'll be a pleasant joy. I can be, like, somewhat a scatterbrained idiot sometimes." She explained. "Helpers?! Oh, Ha ha ha! Sure, sure, we looooooove too!" Drake said, laughing. So, the boys begin to clear up the mess but they seized a rake to cut her down. Biancabella’s voice hollered, which startled them completely. "Hello? Boys? Where are you?" Drake and Till straightened up as they smiled sweetly. "Comin' Sister!" They chorused. Till stopped to give his friend a troll face, "Sister!" He said and laugh in a giggly way. "Eeeee, hoo hoo, tee hee hoo!" They continued to walk as Drake gave him a troll face saying, "Helpers!" and made the nerd laugh. "Nuh, nuh, Nuh, nuh!" They were almost successful when Biancabella noticed something fishy was going on, she turned and saw a rake close to her, the top ready to strike if needed. Biancabella glanced at Drake and Till looked scared, for a moment nobody said anything. Creepy. Dead. Silence. “Uh, I can explain!” Drake finally said. Biancabella punches him as she runs outside. Drake and Till ran after her, they chased her through the gardens, into the labyrinth until they lost sight of her. After much struggle in the maze, the two boys got out of there and starts to look for Biancabella. They didn’t find her so they decide to use a MoPed to look for her, which they found in the opened garage. They took it as they drove away to find Fanny. “Where did you go, Snake Girl? Where…” But stopped when they heard a voice from above. 

"Yoo-Hoo, boys! Here I am!" called Biancabella. "And here we come!" hollered Till. As he revved up the vehicle but they go rearward. They were dizzy from the "Damn masculine drivers!” said Till bombastically. He looked baffled humorously as he turned to Drake. “I had this thing in reverse, didn't I?" asked Till. "Yeeeeessssss!" Drake said. "Fudge! I demand a repair!" Till bellowed. "I demand a RECOUNT!!!!" cried Drake. Till gave him a humorous look, "You want a recount? Here, you take the wheel!" He said. Drake was happy to hear this. "Yes!" Drake revved it up forward and head up to the tower where they found serpentine looking Biancabella smiling at them with her fangs showing. "Hello." Biancabella welcomed. "Goodbye!" Till greeted with a shotgun. Biancabella dodged it while calling out, "Good grief!" "GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!!" bellowed Drake. They soon realize she was out there. He looks out the window but is shocked to see Ferrand out there. Drake’s eyes bulged in horror, he was a good looking devil! “What the hell….What….?” muttered Drake. He realized that Ferrand looked like someone familiar…Could it be?” “Oh my God!” He gritted his teeth, “It’s the Demon Snake Woman’s son……it is Demon Snake Egle's son!” Till looked at him, “What?” He asked. Drake ducked, “OK, we must abort mission! We must get special agents, Momus and Gelos!” whispered Drake. 

"What? Why do we have to abort? We always does this a hundred times." mumbled Till. "No, twenty thousand." Drake corrected. "Trust me, it's defintly a hundred." answered Till. Drake made his eyes like slits and his face all humorously upset, "I demand! A RECOUNT!" He cried and the two of them went away. Biancabella and Ferrand watched them go, Biancabella turns to him and asked: "What should we, like, do?" "I'll bet Mel wants to know about this." Hearing about two spies from Ferrand and Biancabella; Melusine discovers her research about Zmey Ubiysta, the ones that Drake and Till came from.  They are an organization of snake hybrid slayers, they are not actually snake hybrids but have supernatural powers. Run by the leader Beowolf Agro; His members are second in command front runner Margaret Virtus, the third in command name Tristan Camulus. The other lieutenants are Siegfried Kragus, George Shara, Michael Neto, Indra Kinnara, Heinrich Murugan, Hadad Zababa, Marduk Polemos, and Teshub Homados. She came across a snake man who is almost like Melusine. “Hildris Ladon….? Hmm, interesting.” She mumbles. "Find anything?" Valentine asked. "Oh yeah, I found something." answered Melusine. "Some guy name Hildris Ladon. It says that he is a half snake hybrid, half human and one of the best bodyguards of Rising Sun. Quite interested stuff." "Wow, that's neat." Valentine remarked. "It sure is." Melusine agreed. She sounds nonchalant however her eyes were shining. 

“Ooooh! An assignment?” asked the sturdy, naïve tanned skin boy with glee. He had a bit of a French accent for a pre-adolescent. His name is Momus. “For us?” questioned the other preteen boy, he was skinny and wears classes, he too had the same skin as the other. His name was Gelos. “Yes!” Drake replied. “What’s great people like her and they have to do with snakes?” asked Gelos. “ASK NO QUESTIONS!” exclaimed Drake, he begin to mumble incoherently. “There’s such thing, right? Let’s go after them!” Momus announced as he and Gelos were about to go but Drake block their path. “Go NO further! You must vanquish them or will be all doom!” He cried. Momus and Gelos looked at each other, confused that if maybe Drake was going off the deep end. “Is the Mustafa really a half human, half snake?” They asked. Drake grabbed them both and pulled him closed to him. “You know nothing!” He exclaims, he then looked left and right. Drake leans over and spoke to them quietly, “Thy Mustafa is said to be the daughter of Echidna…..She will curse us all into stone!!!!” He then exclaims. Gelos and Momus laugh, "OK. Demon Hunter, we'll take down these bozos of snakes for you. How's that?" Gelos asked. Drake's face brightened up, "You will see the truth but you're acceptance to this assignment brings smiles on my face. Thank You!" He said. Gelos and Momus left, still thinking of what Drake had warned them about before. "Gelos?" Momus asked. "Yes, Momus?" Gelos said. Momus looked worried, "Do you think Drake could it be right?" He inquired. Gelos looked at him with shock, "What? What's wrong with you Frenchman?" demanded Gelos. "I AM NOT FRENCH!!!" exclaimed Momus. 

Gelos hand gags him, "Shhhh! Keep it down, you idiot!" He rasped. They felt shadows upon them. Ferrand, Biancabella, Launce, Speed, and Julia were standing before them. Gelos and Momus looked up in terror comically. "Mommy." squeaked Momus. They both laugh nervously. "Uh...hello, how are you doing today?" asked Momus. "Perfectly fine. Until you came along." Ferrand remarked. "Now, what's a bunch of clowns like yourselves are doing in a place like this?" Biancabella inquired. "Um...Uh....Nothing!" Momus answered. "OK, did someone sent you?" Biancabella asked. "Nobody. We were just wandering." Momus lied, he was a bad liar really. Ferrand looked at him, "You sure? Because young boys like you shouldn't be wandering around in a place like this." He replied. Momus shivered, Gelos had to do something and something brainstorms in his head. He stood up tall and turned to Ferrand and the others. "I, Gelos Boyg! And we, men, do not beg for our lives! Nor for mercy!" Gelos announced. He and Momus stood tall, sneering widely. But within seconds, their sneers slowly turn into anxious frowns and looked at each other, nervously. They attempted to look brave but Momus breaks down, "Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!" He begged in a comical tone. Gelos did the same, "Mercy! Mercy!" Ferrand and Biancabella glanced at each other irked, then they look back at the boys. "Relax. We're not going to hurt you." said Ferrand. Gelos and Momus looked up in amazement, "Really?" They asked, smiling. Ferrand simpers down on them, "No. We'll do much more than that." His eyes became serpentine, he looked sinister. Purple smoke surrounds the two boys. 

Gelos and Momus were terrified, they looked around and saw that Biancabella, Launce, and Speed looked serpentine too. They were so scared that they saw everything else was serpentine. They howled in terror. Meanwhile; Till and Drake are playing video games when someone was pounding on the door of the safe house. Drake paused and hurried over to the door to answer, “Can I help you?” Gelos and Momus were frazzled, shocked, and frightened humorously. “Yeah, get those people away from us! Their freaks! Half human, half snakes!” Gelos exclaimed, pointing to Ferrand and Biancabella. Drake was wide eyed horrified before blurting out loudly. “Ay ya! You discover the truth of this veracity. Let them be on your crowns.” He pushed them over, Gelos saw Ferrand and freaked out, and he seized Drake and used him as a shield. “They are a fate to this world, you take care of them!” He said. Drake took Momus and put him in front of him. “Defend me I say!” He cried. Momus took one look and jumped over his head as he cries out, “I regret nothing!” "Maybe we can, like, dissect their brains." Biancabella said with a smirk. Drake glared at her, "Ohhh, you better not..." He warned. "BRRRAAAAIINNNSSS!!!" Biancabella squealed, laughing maniacally. Ferrand and Biancabella chased Drake, Gelos, and Momus as they ran around in circles. Till watches them, he then calls out to his friends: "Guys! You gotta show them by doing what you need to do. Clean them of the earth, wipe their astro-nauts! Do it for Narnia!" 

Drake stopped as he remembers what he has to do. "He's right. Yes...." He turned to Biancabella and exclaimed, "Wait, my demons! I will happy to aid you unclean maniacs! For Narnia....FOR NARNIA! WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" He attacks Biancabella, who squeals and cries out before she hits the floor. Drake smiled like a crescent moon, he threw his hands up and announced, "I win! I am King of the Demons, yaaaaaahhhhh!" Swinging his arms around. "Got anything else you wanna say?" Till asked. "Yeeeeessssss, My work here is DONE!!!!!!!!" announced Drake as he marched away. Drake, Till, Gelos, and Momus were stalking away but Momus turned to Ferrand and Biancabella before exclaiming, "We'll be back!" as he hurried to catch up with the others. Later, Ferrand told Melusine what happened. "Are you serious?" asked Melusine, "That was so lame of them to do that." Ferrand chuckled softly, "Yes but they were crazy--You have to admit." He remarked. "Hmph. Yeah, so how is Biancabella taking this?" said Melusine. Ferrand shakes his head, "She's such a whiner. All she's complaining is 'boys shouldn't hit girls like me.' Geez!" He said, mimicking her. Melusine smiles, "I'll make sure those boys don't come around here." She promised. Ferrand looks at her, smiling a little before glancing away from Mel. 

Just then; Melusine gasped as she saw a figure dropping down and prepared herself with her glass knife. "Master?" Biancabella asked. "What are you doing here?" inquired Ferrand. A young man with collar-length hair, pale tan skin complexion, and creepy, occult eyes. "Heard you two got in trouble, I managed to talk to Jormugardr but he claimed that you wouldn't stop Melusine or her squad. I was furious to hear, so I left him and came here." said the man, he looked at Melusine as he exposed his snake eyes at her, Melusine shivers as she could see how much inhumanity there was in those eyes. Ferrand smirks at Melusine's shaken body, "Scared?" He asked. Melusine looks at him with a dark glance. "Just cold." She denied. Ferrand nodding, pretending to believe her. "Melusine, this is my consul Ophion Asclepius." He addressed to the strange man. Melusine lent out her hand, smiling nicely. "Pleased to meet you, sir." Ophion took her hand in his, Mel is stunned that his hand feels scaley-smooth it felt to her. "Is he even human?" wondered Melusine. "The pleasure is mine." said Ophion, but Melusine could have sworn to hear him hissing a little in his speech.  


"Well then. It was a pleasure meeting you, Miss Melusine." said Ophion and he went to explore more of the hideout. Melusine shot Ferrand a glare, "Consul Asclepius, huh?" She snapped. "He's not as bad as you think." Ferrand said smugly. "Hmph! Typical." Melusine remarked and turns away, "I got some research to do OK?" Ferrand looks at her as he turns away, saying: "Fine. Be afraid if you want of Ophion." "I am not scared!" Melusine shouted at him but he and Biancabella disappeared. Melusine sighed, "Stupid proxy boy. What does he know about me? Nothing. He doesn't know that nothing scares me. I refuse to admit to fear. I'm not scared of anyone. Or anything." claimed Melusine softly. Little did she know that deep in her denial, her fears will come to life. Soon, very soon.
