EPISODE 4- Return to the Temple to Sap

Over at Mrs. Feyersied's Office at the Fireside Girls Lodge,Eliza looks through her paperwork while her music player was playing some "Benny V" music. Suddenly, a puff of smoke filled the roomas Josner and Wagner appeared before Eliza.

"Hello Eliza, long...time...no...see." Wagner said to Eliza.

"Finally crawled out of that Cave, I see." repliedEliza as she looks over her paperwork.

"Expect the cave in question *wheeze* apparently became a rundown *wheeze* amusement park attraction." Josner said calmly.

"The Old Abandoned Old Abandoned Amusement Park?" Eliza questioned. "That place closed about ten years ago. Something about a rare tree I have heard."

"We were trapped in that cave with those crystals for at least fifty-five years!" screamed Wagner as he heavily breaths while holding hand over his chest.

"…and yet*wheezes* you haven't changed one bit, Eliza." Josner added to Wagner's statement.

"You became a monster, Josner and you dragged Wagner and Cassandra down with you." Eliza told the two figures.

"Cassandra is ….still missing as we speak." Wagner replied with a hint of hesitation as he tosses a crystal at Eliza's desk.

Eliza raises an eyebrow at the two figures.

"Pity that she's still missing. But you brought it on yourselves." Eliza told them.

"During those fifty-five years away, We have learned the secrets of the crystals and they have given us abilities beyond anything YOU can comprehend!" boasted Wagner with sinister confidence.

"With the power *wheeze* of those crystals, we were able to *wheeze* strike a deal with Hel herself." Josner proclaimed.

"Though your greed and lust for said secrets have corrupted you." Eliza said with a slight smirk in her face. She then tumbles the crystal on her desk and tells the two figures "You do realize that the explosion that blocked the way out of that cave was of my doing?"

"WHAT!?" shouted Wagner "BUT HOW!? YOU WERE CAUGHT IN THE EXPLOSION WITH US!"

"Well, it was an acci..." Eliza tried to explain.

"SILENCE!" shouted Wagner interrupting Eliza in the process. "HOW IN HEL'S NAME DID YOU SURVIVE THAT DAY!?"

"It would seem fate had different plans for me. Then again, I could be a warrior for Valhalla. You never know." Eliza explained.

Wagner is steaming with rage over what he just heard and uses telekinesis to levitate one of Eliza's bookshelves "I'LL SHOW YOU A WARRIOR FO-"

"Wagner... Enough." interrupted Josner.

Wagner releases the bookshelf before he could do anything with it.

"Besides, can't you sense *wheeze* that she's relinquished *wheeze* Folkvagnr Artifacts recently?" Josner asked Wagner.

"What would ever give you that idea?" questioned Eliza.

"The picture behind you…" Josner replied with a deadpan look on his face.

Eliza glances at the picture in question then back to Wagner and Josner. It was a picture of Isabella and the rest of Troop 46231 with Eliza standing next to Isabella.

"Those girls have no magical abilities whatsoever." Eliza responded as she rises from her chair.

"Is that so...well then...this would more than say otherwise." shouted Wagner as he shows Eliza a picture of Balor's defeat

Eliza narrowed her eyes at the two figures.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Wagner." Eliza warned Wagner.

Josner lets out a wheezing chuckle and said "You have the eighth yourself...*wheezing laugh* as a backup plan."

"Wait what?" Wagner confusingly asked as he glares at Josner.

Eliza pulls out a mini-sword pistol from the bracelet. "I would really rather not make a mess of my office, but I will if it gets rid of you." She told Josner and Wagner.

"Mark our words *wheezes* Eliza. Once she is awakened, you will rue the day you imprisoned us!" Josner retaliated towards Eliza

Wagner snaps his fingers and smoke covers the office and the two disappear.

"Mmmmm…..this could be a problem." Eliza told herself as the pistol is returned within the bracelet and she returns to her paperwork.

The Next night on the roof of the lodge, Isabella and Gretchen are perched on the corner of the roof, fiddling with a drone controller.

"Do you think it wise to send Adyson with Holly?" Gretchen asked to her commanding officer.

Meanwhile at the Business District, Adyson and Holly are fighting goo-like creatures as they instantly turn into crystals upon defeat. Suddenly, a giant dog-like creature starts running amok in the city. Adyson's jaws drop at the sight of the monster.

"Yikes. That thing is huge." Holly reacted to the monster.

The rider of said-monster took notice of Adyson and Holly as they begin to fight.

Back to Isabella and Gretchen on the roof of the lodge where Isabella sighs and tells Gretchen "Trust me, Gretchen. They will be fine if it will help with Adyson's attitude."

"See anything out there?" Isabella asked.

"Nothing in sight yet." Gretchen replied back before a portal opens in an alley.

"What the?" Isabella and Gretchen said simultaneously.

A creature is thrown out of the portal and onto the pavement.

"And STAY OUT!" shouted a voice from the portal before it closed. The creature, who resembled a humanoid with the head of hammerhead shark and wiring all over him, gets up off the ground.

"After all I have done for them for the past three years...what a waste…" the creature says to himself before three arrows hit the wall next to him.

"Yikes!" reacted the creature as it hides behind a trash can nearby. It peaks its head out from behind the trash can. The creature spots the two girls approaching the creature post haste.

"Identify yourself or my friend won't miss next time." Isabella told the creature as it gulps in fear of death by the hands of a magical girl.

"I-I am called Delvin and I am a recent outcast." Delvin spoke in hesitation.

"Right?" Isabella listened.

"What may you be? You be one them flesh skins I hear of?" Delvin asked the two girls. "I knew my way through my dimension before my banishment. I can lead you to their realm."

Isabella and Gretchen exchange looks before Isabella asked "Care to explain?"

Delvin explained how the girls can find their way into his former realm.

"The people dare would have me dead if I go dare again. But I can lead you to one of za portals. Last time I recall, it be somewhere called "Temple of Sap"..."

Upon learning this information, both Isabella and Gretchen instantly glare at each other in displeasure knowing what they had previously been through at the location.

"You have got to be kidding." Isabella said "That death trap?"

Delvin nodded his head in response to their rhetorical question and pulls out a remote control.

"Good thing I have teleporter to the temple." Delvin said as he presses a button on the teleporter which led him and the girls directly at the Old Abandoned Old Abandoned Amusement Park.

"Well, here we are." Delvin said to the girls as they have arrived to their destination. The teleporter breaks down afterwards.

"I don't like this..." Isabella whispered to Gretchen whom draws her bow out of thin air.

"Agreed." Gretchen replied.

"You been here before?" Delvin asked

"Yes." Responded the two girls simultaneously.

"Three years, I think?" Gretchen told Delvin.

"It's creepier than last time though." Isabella realized as Gretchen nods in agreement.

Delvin points to a portal at the entrance of what remains of the "Temple of Sap" and tells the girls "Now I'll warn you about this...the people there not liking outsiders."

"Outsiders?" questioned Isabella as Gretchen bites her lip.

"It's a long-tale...but part of has to do with causing "nothing but trouble", so to speak." Delvin explained in slightly more depth.

"Great." Isabella sarcastically told herself

"But what is the issue you are having problems with?" wondered Gretchen.

"I've had a history of bringing in outsiders to my former realm, but the final straw was mistaking the poison with vision-alternator mix." Delvin explained.

Gretchen relaxes a bit upon hearing what he said before realizing something.

"Must have been what happened to Adyson." Gretchen quietly told Isabella.

"Wait, who was that guy who tossed you through the portal?" questioned Isabella.

"I will explain on the way..." cheerfully said Delvin.

He jumps into the portal to the Monster Realm with Isabella and Gretchen jump in as well, arriving in the Monster Realm.
