Six Years Ago…

Everyone lounged around the apartments, relaxing after Finneas had finally been defeated, and their enemies were in jail. …Well, except for Edward Jr., who managed to make a getaway. Yet since Darkarai was sealed away in her book, Marlow was dead, and the evil sorcerer was vanquished, the vampire didn't worry them much.

Hardy and Drew had gotten close since Brielle first changed into the she-wolf, and they stood by a cradle, where their red-headed son was asleep. Gin sat on the couch, her tummy swelled to show that she was expecting another child next, she and Kim both looking through a catalog for baby clothes.

It had been almost a year since their epic adventure, and yet the authors felt as if it had just begun. FF2 stood in his room with Max Goof, strumming a guitar. It was really something to know that the two were brothers, after Max had given the co-author the soul of his heart and became a part of him, having been freed after using the ultimate defusion spell after FF2's werewolf half, Silver, mysteriously disappeared after he and Max got in a fight on who was really FF2's true ego. In the end, Max decided to stay his own person, and Silver remained a part of FF2.

Kiff then ran in, holding what appeared to be a journal, and hid in the closet. "I'm not here!" he whispered hastily to them.

Lamone entered, scanning the room. "Alright, where is he?" he demanded.

"Dove out the window, probably running to the treehouse out back," FF2 replied, thumbing at an open window.

Lamone flitted off, and Kiff stepped out of the closet. "Thanks, guys." he said, breathing a sigh of relief.

"What did you do this time?" Max asked him. "You've been getting into a lot of trouble, lately."

"He takes after his surrogate mom, what can he do?" FF2 joked.

"I heard that!" WG snapped, walking in, and gave Kiff a look. "Alright, what did you do to Lamone? Didn't we warn you that picking on him was a certified death-wish?"

"I didn't do anything," Kiff replied, sitting on the bed. "I just went into his room looking for Edwin's spell-book because he lent it to him last-"

"Why were you looking for his spell-book?" FF2 asked.

"Geez, man, let me finish one answer first! …Anyway, I was looking around the room when I found this sitting on his bed." he held up the journal in his hands. "I tried to read it, but I couldn't make out the words. I think it's in Romanian,"

He opened the book and the others looked. Indeed the writing was different… yet it wasn't Romanian. "It's written with those symbols you used for your ink-alchemy," WG said to her co-author.

"What does it say?" Max asked.

FF2 arched an eyebrow. "It says… 'Property of the Half-Blood Alchemist'…" he began, when suddenly the journal was yanked out of his hands, and Lamone stood in front of him.

"Not very wise to invade another's privacy," Lamone stated, and glared at Kiff. "And I'll be having a stern talk with your parents about your lack of respect for someone else's property."

"Lamone, how do you know how to write in ink-alchemy?" FF2 asked.

Lamone scoffed. "I'm 500 years old. I was around when the language was first invented, and managed to pick it up during my travels. It started to die out around the 1800's, so I decided to use it to write in my journal, so no one would be able to read it. …Those who could, however, would be wise enough to keep their mouths shut, if they wanted to see the light of another day."

"We barely got to the first page, don't fret." WG scoffed.

Biff ran into the room just then. "Guys, I just heard on the news that Edward Jr. was spotted by the prison. There was a jail-break, and they were last seen heading to the bay!" he said, out of breath.

"I take it we're going on a vampire-hunt?"

"About time! I was starting to get bored," FF2 said with a smirk.

0o0o0o0o0o0

The kids were forced to stay home, and just to make sure they didn't try anything, Gin and Edwin stayed behind, telling the kids they could help them take care of Rusty/Crim and help Gin prepare for her upcoming baby shower… when that didn't work, FF2 just bribed them with his XBox360 and gave them something to do.

They came across the bay, seeing an old abandoned Victorian house by the shore. "If I had to guess, I'd say that's where they were hiding," Drew said sarcastically.

"Lets split up and search, then," Tracker said.

They entered the house, splitting up in groups. Kasandra, Fangs, Eric and Tracker took the third floor; Kim, Biff, and Kite took the second floor; Lamone, Hardy, and Drew took the basement; and FF2, WG, and Max took the ground floor.

They shouldn't have split up at all.

0o0o0o0o0o0

"Hey, look in here!" Eric whispered, motioning his cousin over to a room that had a large painting on the wall, which contained a younger-looking Finneas, standing between the real-world and toon-world. "That must be Finneas trying to destroy the two worlds,"

"Ooh, ooh, don't remind me of that. It was bad enough that he came close last time," Fangs said, shuddering. He then spotted something on the table. "Hey, look at this. It's an old photograph of Darkarai and Marlow when they were kids!"

"Didn't they used to date?"

"I think so. They look like quite a couple,"

They both shuddered, putting the picture down. "Jennifer and Snake were a less-disturbing couple…"

Kasandra and Tracker, meanwhile, were searching another room. "I don't see anything in here, do you?" Kasandra asked.

"No… and I think that's a bad thing…" Tracker said. They walked out of the room and into the hall.

"By the way, Track, I kind of noticed something about you. You're the only one of the authors who doesn't have a tragic backstory… why is that?"

Tracker paused, sighing. "Sometimes a backstory is too tragic to share. …The reason you don't know much about me is because… well, I'm not officially from here."

"You're from the real-world, I know."

Tracker shook her head. "No… I was sent to the real-world, long ago."

Kasandra arched an eyebrow. "I don't understand. If you're not from the real-world, then where ARE you from? Who are you?"

Tracker sighed. "I suppose, if it'll help you understand, I could tell you- but you must keep it secret until the time is right."

"I don't understand,"

"You will. You see, I'm- AUGH!" Tracker was suddenly pulled into a room.

"Tracker!" Kasandra ran in after her, just in time for a cloaked figure to slam the door shut and lock them in. "HEY!"

Tracker looked up to see what grabbed her, seeing another cloaked figure. "Whoever you are, you're gonna regret that!" she snarled, swinging her fist to punch them in the face… but her fist went right through them!

"You can't kill something that's already dead," The cloaked figure sneered, then faded away… revealing a small dome-shaped robot with a laser on its front.

"EXTERMINATE!" the robot shouted.

"Daleks! Ugh, I hate these things… they're so annoying!" Tracker snapped, taking out her gun.

The Dalek shot a laser at them, but they dodged, and Tracker began to shoot at it.

Fangs and Eric heard the commotion and ran to the door, trying to break it down. "Eric, go get the others, quick!" Fangs ordered, and Eric took off. "HANG ON, KASSY! I'M COMING!"

"EXTERMINATE!" The Dalek shouted again, shooting another laser. However, Tracker's next shot struck it in the barrel of the laser-gun, making it explode.

"Ha! Looks like I ought to be the exterminator, right Kass?" she asked, triumphantly.

"Tracker…" Kasandra said weakly, and the co-authoress turned around to see that she had been hit by a laser. She then fell to the floor.

"No… no!" Tracker gasped, holding her. "No, Kass, you can't die! Please!" She then did something desperate, taking out her wand. "It can't end like this… not again! Numario!"

But the fusion didn't bring Kasandra back. Instead… both of them vanished. Fangface, transformed from Fangs, managed to break down the door… but he was too late. He picked up the silver cross necklace, the only thing that remained, and began to sob.

Hardy, Drew, and Lamone scanned the basement. "Something isn't right… it's too quiet," Drew noted.

"Might be a trap, then," Lamone stated, and flicked on the light-switch… seeing they were surrounded by several cloaked figures. "Yep. Definitely a trap."

"About time you showed up. We figured you might have chickened out," A gray-haired, anime-guy sneered.

"Steve Leopard… I should have figured you'd join this cult,"

"If it means I can kill vampires, it was a sweet deal. ATTACK!"

The cloaked figures lunged, and Hardy and Lamone whipped out their key-blades, fighting like mad, while Drew brawled with them- having been trained by Vincent as a human, she outmatched them.

"There's too many, we're going to need more backup," Lamone stated.

"On it!" Hardy exclaimed, then took out a wand, using the defusion spell to split from Puggsy… who now had a keyblade as well. "Hey, how come YOU get another key-blade?"

"Fight now, questions later," Puggsy snapped, and joined the fight… just in time to see Steve stab Lamone with a poisoned blade. He hit the vampire hunter in the temple and knelt by his cousin.

Lamone then took out his heart and stuck it in Puggsy's chest. "Take care of her…" he said, then passed away.

"Pugs, LOOK OUT!" Drew shouted.

Puggsy turned around, seeing Steve was still up and was about to stab him next… until Hardy lunged and clawed his throat, killing him. "(grr) Leave it to some creep to get me OOC," he sneered.

There was a pained howl just then, and they looked over at Drew, who had a syringe stabbed in her shoulder. The cloaked figure was none other than Keith, who just smirked and took off with the rest of the cloaked figures. Puggsy and Hardy rushed to Drew, watching as she slowly changed back into Brielle. "Sensodin…" she muttered, pulling out the syringe and wincing.

"You mean…?" Puggsy gasped.

Brielle bit her bottom lip, a tear falling out of her eye. "Drew's gone…"

Hardy let out a howl of sorrow. "First Lamone, now Drew! I can't believe it…" he sobbed.

"What happened to Lamone?"

"He was stabbed by a poisoned dagger," Puggsy sighed. "It had garlic on it, the only thing that can kill vampires…"

"Yeah, but… where's his body?"

They looked over, seeing that Lamone had indeed vanished, his cape being the only thing left behind.

WG had entered a foyer when Edward Jr. stepped up. "Well, if it isn't my creator, come to face me," he said, smirking. "Either that, or you have news that you made me a girlfriend,"

"Not on your life," WG sneered, taking out her wand. "Now, are you going to come quietly, or do this the hard way? Either way, I'll be tweaking your character and changing you back into a human, like you were supposed to be."

"Yeah… Amazing what that Cullen kid will do just to keep his child safe,"

"Okay, dragging us into a sequel is one thing, but I draw the line at the Twilight refs!" WG then shot a bolt of lightening at him, which he dodged.

"Oh, I'm not dragging you into a sequel… HE is," Edward Jr. pointed at a man who looked just like Marlow, but with white hair.

"WHAT THE…? I thought you were-"

"Avara Kedavra!" Wolfram shouted, shooting a spell at her.

She heard a growl just then, and was shoved out of the way by Silver, seeing the werewolf get struck by the spell instead. "SILVER!" she felt anger just then, and changed into Stalker, then attacked Wolfram, beating and clawing at his flesh. "THAT WAS MY BOYFRIEND, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

Biff and Kim ran in with Kitefang at their side just then, hearing the commotion. "I'd… better run." Edward Jr. said quickly, but Biff and Kim caught him. "…Or not."

Kitefang rushed over to Silver, noticing right away that he had been killed. "There is ONE way to save him…" Kite said in his mind. "He can share our heart,"

Worth a try… Kitefang thought. The idea was crazy, he knew, but it was the only thing he could do from losing another family member. "Numario!" he said, clutching his bracelet and holding on to Silver.

There was a flash of light… but they were gone, Kitefang's hat being the only thing that remained, next to Silver's ring.

Stalker saw the whole thing, distracted long enough for Wolfram to get away. "HEY!" she shouted, running after him, but he had disappeared.

Edward Jr. also took the opportunity to escape, flitting away from Biff and Kim. "So long, suckers!" he laughed.

Everyone met up, seeing that their efforts had been in vain… and because of it, their friends were gone.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Later that week…

They set up tombstones to place in the memories of Kasandra, FF2, Tracker, Kite, and Lamone, paying their respects and vowing to avenge them.

WG watched from the top of a tree, unable to approach the graves without breaking down. Her tears mixed with the raindrops, still unable to believe that her closest friends were gone. "What do we do now?" Stalker asked her.

WG said nor thought anything in return. Instead, she used her wand to open a portal to the real-world. "Where are you going?" Edwin asked her, suddenly appearing behind her.

"Home. I need a little time away to clear my head," she answered, stepping through the portal.

The vampire only nodded, and walked off.

0o0o0o0o0o0

Biff could hear Kim crying in her sleep every night, and went to check on her that evening when he couldn't stand it any longer. He found her sitting in the kitchen, sobbing. "Kim? Are you going to be alright?" he asked, holding her hand.

She shook her head. "I don't think so, Biff… with Kite gone, it just…" she tried to say, but it was hard to do between tears. "It just hurts…"

He nodded, wrapping his arm around her in comfort. "I know… I miss them too… Don't worry, though. We'll find the ones responsible and settle this once and for all-"

"It's not just that. A month ago, Kite and I took a trip to the beach for the weekend and… well… I'm pregnant again," she kept sobbing. "I wanted to tell him when I found out… then I realized he was dead when I did,"

Biff couldn't say anything, but just held her tight…

There was a scream just then, coming from his complex. "Gin!" He gasped, and he and Kim ran upstairs…

They searched the room, finding nothing but a note, asking for the authors in ransom. Biff crumbled the note, angrily. They immediately woke the rest of the gang, telling them the news. "But… we can't give in to the ransom!" Alyx gasped.

"Especially since they already killed FF2 and Tracker," Brielle added, clenching her fists. "I swear to God, if they just did this to spite us-"

"Where's WG, anyway?" William asked.

"She returned to the real world," Edwin answered. "She wanted to be alone…"

"Ransom or no ransom, we're still going to get Gin back," Biff said, firmly. "I've lost too many friends already… I'm not about to lose my wife and child!"

"I lost Mom once too many, too. Lets go!" Brody said.

"Kids, you stay here," Kim snapped. "Pugs, Brielle, Hardy, you keep an eye on them."

"Oui, mon capitan," Hardy said with a salute, and the gang rushed out.

0o0o0o0o0o0

They went back to the bay, figuring their foes went for the 'return to the scene of the crime' cliché… but all they found there was Dark Crow, Gin's dastardly father and pirate king, waiting for them on the beach. "Where's Gin?" Biff demanded fiercely, grabbing the pirate by the throat. "She'd better be alright…"

Dark Crow had tears in his eyes. "That's why I've come to meet you, before the others came…" he said, wincing. "Gin… is dead."

"WHAT?" Biff tightened his grip. "You'd better be bluffing… WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?"

"I swear to God, I did nothing! After they captured her, she went into labor… she died during the childbirth. If you don't believe me, the proof is in the car! Now, go, quick… warn the others, tell them that the Veni Con Yei has- ugh!"

Dark Crow fell limp, and Biff noticed an arrow sticking out of his back. "Run!" Edwin shouted.

They ran off, coming across Dark Crow's car. "Hold on!" Biff called, then looked inside the car, searching for the proof Dark Crow was talking about… though he didn't have to search hard.

Sitting in the backseat was a baby, wrapped in a bundle, fast asleep. Attached was a note:

"Biff," it began. "This is our son, David. I hope you like the name, I named him after my grandfather, David Crow. If you're reading this, it's because I'm dead. This one really took every ounce of my energy, and I can feel that writing this note is only making it worse. Please take care of our child and Brody… I will always love you, signed G

Tears were falling out of his eyes, but he picked up David, cradling him in his arms. "Is that…?" Fangface asked, gasping.

Biff nodded. "Our son. …C'mon, we'd better get home," he said.

One Month Later…

Ever since the incident with Gin's kidnapping, everything had been quiet, which only made the gang feel even more tense. Toni, Luca, and Stutz even came back to help them out, after hearing about the tragic events, promising to look after their friends and family. Stutz comforted Benny and Timothy, his best friends, who were still upset about losing their mother… especially since Benny had only begun to get to know her, having been separated from her longer than his siblings; Luca and Eric tried to cheer up Brody, Kiff, and Lilly, by showing them how to solar-surf, but didn't get much enthusiasm out of them; and Toni stayed up each night with Brielle, keeping patrol of the hallways with the werewolves.

WG finally returned… looking worse than she had before. Her eyes were practically empty, her skin was sickly pale, and she appeared to be thinner. "WG! You're back!" Luca exclaimed when he saw her, but she only nodded in greeting. "Hey, are you alright? You look terrible!"

"Ricky died…" she whispered. "Where's Fangs?"

"Um… he's in his room…"

She walked down the hall, knocking on his door. "Yeah?" he asked, opening it a crack, then widened it when he saw her. "Wherever Girl! We were wondering where you… look… terrible."

WG nodded. "I need to talk to you. It's important." she said. He let her in, and she sat on his bed. "Fangs… did I ever tell you how I got hooked on your show?"

"No, why?"

"It was because of you,"

He blinked. "M-Me?"

"Yeah… I sorta developed a crush on you when I first saw you on TV- just you, not Fangface, so tell him he doesn't need to freak out. Anyway, I eventually grew out of my crush and just started liking the show for itself, and the experience practically changed my life, helped me discover who I am… but I never forgot that you were the main reason behind it."

He shifted. "Um, okay… why are you telling me this?" he gasped as she took his hand.

"I just… owe it to you." Her eyes began to change colors just then, and some form of energy was exchanged between them.

"What… just happened?"

WG said nothing, but handed him a laptop. "Use it for good, Sherman… and be careful about what you write. It might come back to haunt you, otherwise," With that, she walked out of the room.

Fangs only blinked, looking at the laptop, clueless. "What was THAT all about? (grr)" Fangface asked him, equally confused.

"That's what I'd like to know," Fangs replied, rubbing his head.

WG, in the meantime, entered her room, sitting down at a desk and resting her face in her arms. "I never thought you could look worser than you did before, but you really proved me wrong," came a voice, and Puggsy walked in.

"Well, grief keeps you from beauty sleep," she sighed.

"Still miss the others, huh?"

"The others… and Ricky." she began to wince. "He was so old, and he couldn't see, his hearing was gone, his skin was rotting slowly from the inside, I think his sense of smell was going too, and his seizures became more frequent and he just… he was suffering so much and… finally I took him to the vet, and…" she shut her eyes tight, trying to keep the tears from falling. "I wish I didn't have to do it…"

Puggsy sat beside her, putting a hand on her shoulder… then noticed the bandages on her wrists. "What happened to your hands?"

She gasped, tucking them away. "Accident in the kitchen. Nothing to worry ab-"

Puggsy grabbed her arm, undoing one of the bandages, seeing the cut. "Accident my eye… Don't tell me you had an emo-moment!"

WG's tears began to fall. "I didn't… Stalker wouldn't let me, and neither would the remainder of my dignity… something else made us do it. It tried making Stalker do it first," she pointed at her left wrist. "…then it got to me…" she looked at the wrist Puggsy was holding. "It didn't take us long to realize that we had lost control and darkness was taking over… making us get OOC."

"An authoress getting herself OOC?"

She sighed. "Yeah… it sucks. Gets a reaction out of readers, but still sucks." she rolled her eyes. "Next I'll probably be trying to hook Toni up with Fangpuss, and then the world will end." she hung her head low. "If it hasn't already… did anything else happen?"

Puggsy sighed. "Biff's a father… but we lost Gin."

WG shook her head. "Just when we thought we lost enough…" she rested her arms on her head again.

Silence.

"Pugs?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't tell anyone about this, alright? They don't need to know…"

He nodded, patting her on the back. "You're secret's safe with me,"

0o0o0o0o0o0

Months later…

The gang decided to take a trip to the Grand Canyon to get their minds off things, right after Kim had her baby. They decided to have a day to relax and get a break from their worries… but that didn't happen.

Just as they were driving, several cloaked men leaped out, stopping them and aiming guns at them. "Well, it appears we meet ag-" Keith began to say.

*BAM!*

He didn't get far, because Brielle leaped out of the Wolf Buggy and started beating him up, clearly still pissed about that he had done to them. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you where you stand!" She snarled, holding a knife against his throat.

"SOMEONE GET THIS CRAZY BITCH OFF OF ME!" Keith shouted, his voice a ridiculously high pitch.

The rest of the cloaked figures attacked, but the rest of the gang were ready. Edwin, Alyx, and William were shooting off spells to fend off attackers; Benny and Brody, who were taught combat by Vincent, helped out Brielle, Benny going as far as changing into his werewolf half, Jet; Fangs, Eric, and Timothy transformed into Fangface, Fangpuss, and Rascal to keep their foes at bay; Stutz reluctantly changed into a cat-creature while Toni used her vampire-prowess and Luca using his half-wolf prowess, all of them kicking butt; and Kiff and Blackrose helped Hardy keep Rusty, David, and Analessa out of the line of fire.

Keith and Brielle were the fiercest ones, both of them wanting to kill the other… but it was Keith who got his wish, slicing Brielle across the throat and pushing her off a cliff. "BRIELLE!" WG called, looking over the edge… only to be pushed over by Kara.

"That was my WIFE, you asshole!" Puggsy shouted at Keith, and punched him square in the face.

"Mom!" Kiff cried, rushing down a path that led to the bottom of the cliff, followed by the others.

WG and Brielle fell, the authoress grabbing her OC counterpart. Blood was gushing from her neck, and it was plain to see she'd be dead before they hit the bottom. Not on my watch… WG thought, then grabbed her hand. Time to find out what really became of FF2 and Tracker.

"Numario!"

Everyone saw a flash of white light just before their friends hit the bottom, and picked up the pace, rushing down… but saw nothing. The only thing that remained was WG's bracelet that held pictures of Christ. Kiff picked it up, wincing. "No…" he whispered.

The cloaked figures watched from the top of the cliff. "Lets help them forget this whole mess, shall we?" Wolfram said. "Everyone remember the memory-erase charm?"

"Why can't we just kill them all off, now?" Kara sneered. "The authors are basically dead, along with those cartoonbrids. We might as well take care of the last of our pest problem!"

"Not exactly. I have a feeling those authors are still around… and it would be a shame that, if they managed to come back, their friends didn't recognize them, right?"

The other villains agreed, then raised their wands, shooting off a large arc of light. Edwin noticed it and gasped, using his wand to make a force-field to deflect the spell. "Everyone, under the shield!" he shouted.

Hardy grabbed the infants and made it in, along with Timothy, Benny, Kiff, Blackrose, Alyx, and William.

The others weren't so lucky. "Not so fast!" Wolfram shouted, shooting another spell into the ground and making roots shoot up, wrapping around their ankles and holding them down.

Fangpuss tried to help Toni, but was caught as well, watching as the light came closer. "Toni, we're best friends, right?" he asked her.

"Yeah," she replied, trying to tug her feet loose. "Though this isn't quite the time for reminiscing!"

Fangpuss cupped her cheek in his hand. "I know, but since we're about to lose our memories…" he then leaned forward and kissed her.

Fangface and Puggsy's eyes nearly popped out of their heads. "Yep. That's it. It's the end of the world!" Puggsy proclaimed.

The spell enveloped them, making them go unconscious as the last 30 years were wiped from their minds. The cloaked figures then shot another spell, making them disappear.

The kids sobbed, Hardy snarled, and Edwin gritted his teeth.

"What do we do now, Dad?" Alyx asked, quietly.

"We help our friends get their memories back, and kill the bastards who started all this," he replied darkly.

And it took six years for it all to happen.

A/N: Apologies for the dark moments, OOC-ness, character so-called deaths, and other things that probably made your jaws hit the floor and made your grandmothers faint.

Fangs: D8

Me: Yeah… I think I'm going to put an end to the drama right here for now. ANYWAY, if any of you guys have some song ideas, we'd like to hear them, since we've been lacking musical-numbers for the past three chapters.

Fangs: D8

Me: …Uh, you gonna be okay, dude?

Fangs: Toni… and Fangpuss… kissed… *faints*

Me: T_T Wonder why didn't give that reaction in the LAST chapter.
