Back in Egypt, Mr. Nevins was viewing Enya's crystal ball. He then huffed, "You and your minions… It seems that Strength and Temperance has failed."

Enya said, "Yes… but a grim end to two lucky users. But have no fear… Only five users remain. They are all powerful, and each deadlier than the last. And you should know… one of them is my daughter. The Gang will not pose a threat, when SHE is able to crush them all!"

She showed her black gem on her chest and cackled. Mr. Nevins replied, "I understand… Pray tell me… You are but a strange old woman. What is it that you desire the most?"

She replied, "Oh, but I told you, many times. My only wish is to stay by MIO's side, Lord Nevins. Your guardian spirit has unbelievable power. You are an equal to your master, comparing vampire machine to Choujin. MIO has the ability to escape harm, and you have that power, too, which is the result for that. I… would like to see your life unfold…
It's the only thing that I want…"

Meanwhile, on the port of Singapore, Team Nevins is rescued by a lone freighter, and is traversing to Singapore.

Episode XXVI – The Doll of Evil!
The Devil!

This is beautiful and scenic Singapore.
Once upon a time, there was a prince from the land of Sumatra, who traveled the seas, seeking new lands. Eventually, he happened to land on a small island, inhabited by a group of lions called the Singas. Thus he named the island "Singa-pura". Today, its straits bustle with ships and tankers from around the world. This nation that shares both Western and Eastern heritage, thanks to free trade, is Tropical Singapore.

Team Nevins regroup together, as Michelle agreed to go to a hotel, to rest the night.

Yamabuki sighed, "Jesus Christ… We finally made it to dry land!"

Michelle said, "We'll clean up, and then we'll find a hotel. Once we're fully rested, we'll plan out our route to Egypt."

Michelle finds a tall building and said, "Alright! Let's stay at that one."

They walked together, as a police officer halts them, blowing his whistle.

"HEY! YOU! Turn around!" He called out, "You there, the woman in the orange!"

He pointed at Yamabuki, as she asked, "Me?"

"YES, YOU!" He called, "You threw this trash? It's a 500 Singapore Dollar ($366.14 US) fine!"

Yamabuki gasped, "A fine?! Where do you get off, with that high a price?"

The cop explains, "The law prohibits litter in this place, and fines all violators in doing so, and that means you, ma'am!"

Heather asked, "500 Singapore Dollars? That's roughly over $300 in America…"

Michelle said, "More like nearly 300 Pounds."

NOTE: 500 Singapore Dollars is $366.14 US, 41,313 Yen, and 279.45 British Pounds.

Rook asked, "Trash?"

Yamabuki barked, "Hold on! Where do you get off? I have no trash with me!"

The policeman pointed down at a brown satchel and said, "This!"

Rook laughs, as Yamabuki smiled, picking up the satchel. The cop says, "HEY! You're not getting off scot-free, lady!"

Yamabuki smirked, "Are you dumb? That's my luggage in this sack! So, if I'm not mistaken, you said that I threw some trash! To what trash were you referring to, ehhhhh?"

The policeman stuttered, as Yamabuki grinned, "If I'm wrong, what does that mean? So, what is it?"

The cop stammered, "Wait… That bag is your luggage?"

She held the sack and said, "Look, I'm from Japan, and I know that we do obey littering laws, but I am not that stupid to trash your exotic place."

The cop nervously said, "Uh, my error… I didn't know…"

The others laughed, including Anne, as the policeman left the scene. Yamabuki sees Anne, but she walks off. Yamabuki asks Michelle, "What's with the kid? Why are we still bringing her with?"

Michelle said, "Hey, you! Weren't you going to see your father, once we got here?"

Yamabuki added, "You're here now, so run along! You came all the way here with us, so move off."

Anne snorted, "My father isn't coming for five days. I can go, whatever the hell I want! I wouldn't take any orders from you jerks."

Rook said, "She mustn't. She'd be in danger, if she's with us."

Heather added, "Or maybe… she lacks the cash for a place to stay."

Michelle replied, "Well, I guess we're good enough to give her a room, for a couple nights. Yamabuki, see if Anne will come along with you. You're the smarmy one…"

Yamabuki said, "You got it. I'll convince her to stay with us."

She said to Anne, "Hey. Listen, kid, you want to come with us in a hotel? You can wait a couple of nights, for your father to come back. If you're stinking poor, today's your lucky day! No more freeloading for you, kid!"

Anne glared, "Ehhhhh?"

Michelle grumbled, facepalming herself, "OH, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, YAMABUKI!" and the others groan and chuckle.

Rook sighed, "Well… Let's go check in."

XXXXX

They checked into the front desk, as Michelle was ordering the rooms. The clerk says that the hotel is full, at this time of year. She suggested a double room, as Michelle sighed, signing her name on the book, "Well… Guess we're stuck… Now, for the rooms… Rook and I will share a room."

Heather smiled, "Then, Big Guy and I will share one, being we're experienced AAW Agents in this group. Right, Peter?"

Peter huffed, "Hmph."

Rook said, "That just leaves the last room… and the only people left are Anne, Yamabuki, and Chazz… So…"

Chazz huffed, "I'll take a room, alone, thank you…"

Anne complained, "EW! THAT'S JUST GROSS! YOU WANT ME TO SHARE A ROOM WITH HER?"

"YOU BRAT!" Yamabuki argued.

Michelle smiled and said, "Well… I guess maybe… Since she's a child, she can bunk with Princeton, if it's alright…"

Chazz huffed, "Not interested… I don't think she'd-."

Anne asked, "Why not?"

Michelle replied, "Well, Mr. Princeton does get moody… But having the child get her own room will make sense…"

She spoke to the clerk, "Excuse me, Miss? We'll take five rooms, please."

Yamabuki took her room key to Room 912, as she smiled, "That's fine. I can relax in my own room, anyways…"

She walked off and said, "Let's go! We came all the way here, since we've through hell in Hong Kong. We should have a shower, after a long fought battle~!"

The others chuckled, as they headed to their rooms.

At Room 912, Yamabuki threw her key and satchel down, as she relaxed. But then, she suddenly saw a creepy looking doll, next to the phone and the lamp, on a small end table, next to the bed.

She looked out the window, and then sighed in anger.

"Damn it… I should've guessed. I knew this was too good to be true…" she thought, "My Ninja Instincts are tingling… sensing danger from around me."

She called out, "Can't you guys give us a chance to rest, you persistent bastards! COME OUT!"

The mini-fridge suddenly opened, as a figure was inside. It was a man in black hair and red war paint. Yamabuki gasped, "Huh? How did he fit inside the bar fridge?"

He stood up, as she said, "That's one intense bloodlust you have there, sir. Who are you, and why did you hide in the fridge? But for the record, I am Yamabuki Suou, so you know the name that will send you to Hell!"

The figure spoke, wearing brown leather and cloth, "Well, if you insist… I am called Soul Martyr. I am a successor to my uncle, Soul Sacrifice. And, since you're wondering… I am of the Stand User variety, and my card is The Devil. It represents the insanity of the cursed, and a precipitate in a malevolent fall to ruin…"

He added, "That, Miss Yamabuki, is one of your traveler's cards, as well. Giese, correct?"

She said, "What of it? This is between me and you."

He asked her, "Indeed. But tell me, how did you know I was hiding in the fridge?"

Yamabuki yelled, grabbing his vest, "ARE YOU THAT STUPID, YOU STUPID IDIOT? You took most of the drinks in the fridge, and hid yourself inside. Your only downfall is that you FORGOT to put everything back in, or at least drink it all, YOU DUMBASS!"

His aura shone in black, as he roared out, "DIE, YAMABUKI! ONYX DEVIL!"

His Stand shows a dark ghostly figure, as Yamabuki sent out her Ninja Stand, "NINJA CHARIOT!"

The Ninja Chariot jabs onto Soul Martyr with its katana, slicing and jabbing all over its body. Blood spilled out from the wounds, and even doused a little onto the doll, wearing a yellow hunting uniform and a spear. The man stumbled, bloodied and cut, as Yamabuki snuffed, "Sheesh, you're so anti-climactic. That ape on the boat was a far more powerful Stand User than you. Me, however, I have a combination of Stand and Spirit. You realize that you're no mere monkey."

The man covered his left eye, as it was gushing out blood, "Damn you… How could you do this to me… YAMABUKI?"

He cackled and cried out in pain, hysterically and flailing about.

"What the hell is this guy?!" She asked in confusion.

The man stepped out and moaned, "The pain… THE PAIN! CURSE YOU! How dare you? HOW DARE You DO THAT TO ME?"

He was out on the balcony, as he pointed at her, "NOW! NOW, I can hold a hell of a grudge, against you… Yamabuki Suou! Such torture! Such agony must be avenged! And you're the pathetic one, Yamabuki! I let you attack me, on purpose! YOU'RE A DEAD MAN, NOW!"

He stumbled out over the railing, and fell from hundreds of feet. Yamabuki was completely speechless. She then gasped, as she ran to the balcony, looking out of the balcony. She gasped, seeing NO bodies on the streets below.

"HE-! HE DISAPPEARED!" She cried, "He's gone… What the hell is going on?"

SLASH!
Just then, a part of Yamabuki's left foot was cleaved off, showing a small chunk of skin. She screamed in pain, "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

She thought, "WHAT? He cut me? When the hell did he do that? But… I'm sure I felt an attack… I can feel it."

She rushed back inside and called Michelle. "Miss Nevins! A Stand User was just here, ready to ambush me! Huh? Oh, it's you, Rookie… NO! I DO NOT WANT TO SHOW YOU MY PANTIES! IDIOT! Listen, I met with a Stand User, only I couldn't hear him out. He was somewhat a tweener, not sure if he's weak or strong; being he's really creepy. I couldn't tell. You better watch out. That damned guy, I think, somehow nicked me. OH… And also…"

Rook gasped, as Yamabuki told him the name, "Soul Martyr?! The Devil Card, you say? That's Giese's card. Yamabuki, are you absolutely positive what he said?"

Yamabuki replied, "Yeah. By racing my brain, I don't see how it's possible! Your big friend holds the Devil Card, as well, but his malice of bloodlust is limited. This guy's pure creep to the MAX! Also, I caught a good glimpse of his Stand… but I don't think he got near me, after he flung out of the balcony, and into parts unknown. The guy fled on me! Anyways… I should be fine… You're in Room 1212. Contact Giese, Dunn, and Princeton, and inform about this. Later."

She hung up, and then redialed for Room Service. She picked up the doll, as the hotel clerk answered the phone, "Front desk."

"Hello? This is Yamabuki, Room 912. I want a first aid kit, medicine, and bandages. I got into an accident and scraped my leg badly."

"Certainly. We'll bring it up, immediately, ma'am."

She placed the doll back, as she relaxed in bed. She then gasped, and groaned, "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH! DAMN YOU, NINJA INSTINCT! This is the last thing I wanted! Dirty underwear makes for a really shitty bandage! Damn this hotel!"

In Michelle and Rook's room, Michelle asked, "Reggie… Do you know of the person that attacked Yamabuki?"

Rook replied, "Yes. Soul Martyr is new to me, but he is the great nephew of the original Devil Stand, Soul Sacrifice. Long ago, he was killed by Polnareff, after a grueling battle for his life. According to rumors, he is a Native-American Shaman who is also an assassin. But he's an utterly terrifying Stand User. Politicians, mafias, and militaries, even lowlifes all over the world hire him. I have learned of him before, and his reputation stands out. His body is covered in scars. Scars that he is able to convince the enemy to attack. He uses his so-called power of vengeance to fully control his Stand. That's why, to ordinary victims, they believe that a curse killed them."

Michelle said, "So, Yamabuki must've fallen for Soul Martyr's trick."

"I'm afraid so."

"What kind of Stand is it?"

"Nobody knows, for certain. Because those who've seen it are already dead. We have to decide how to handle this. Right now, it's too dangerous to help Yamabuki… for any of us, we can't risk it!"

"It could be able to kill us, one-by-one, that is what he's able to do."

Michelle then said, "We'll all meet here in this room."

XXXXX

Peter got the call from Michelle, "Right. I got it. Heather and I will come over. We'll see you in Room 1212, soon, Michelle."

He hung up, as Heather asked, "Who was that?"

Peter walked off, "Let's go. Apparently, we're in danger…"

They left the room, as later, in Chazz's room, he got the call, "Right… I'll tell the girl. I'll meet you in Room 1212, old hag."

He hung up and sighed, "Good grief…" and walked out of his room to warn Anne.

In Yamabuki's room, she was looking around the room, as she was upset, "Whaaaaaaaaaat? I can't seem to find my room key, anywhere. I left it in the table. Have I gone crazy?!"

She searched the bed and grumbled, "God, it's like this hotel is crazy… I'd ask for a new one, but I'd probably get a fine for that, too…"

She looked under the bed and said, "There it is! It must've fallen, during the commotion, earlier."

She crawled under the bed, as she was crawling in great difficulty. She went inside, as her huge breasts pressed to the floor. She grabbed the room keys and said, "Grr… Why did it have to be in the middle?"

She suddenly heard footsteps, and then the lamp smashed to the floor.

SNAP! SNAP!
Yamabuki suddenly was tied up in wire, strapped onto the bedspread. She cried, "WHAT THE-?"

A small figure appeared and shot out blue substance into her eyes. She cried out, spitting out the blue stuff, "EUGH! WHAT THE HELL? SHAMPOO? DAMN IT, THIS IS KILLING MY EYES!"

She was blinded by the shampoo, as the small figure grabbed a saw. It sawed off the legs of the bed, as she cried, "WHO'S THERE?"

SMASH!
The bed collapsed over Yamabuki, crushing her. But she was okay, since she was trapped from under the bed. The door knocked, as the figure vanished. A man in a brown suit and a red fez appeared, as he called, "Miss Suou, I have the first aid kit, as you requested. The front desk sent me to deliver it to you."

Yamabuki roared, "GET AWAY! YOU'LL GET YOURSELF KILLED!"

The attendant gasped, "MA'AM! WHAT HAPPENED HERE?"

Yamabuki shrieked, "I TOLD YOU TO GET AWAY!"

But he was too late.
SLASH!
The small figure slashed off the attendant's face, completely. The figure ran around the room, as Yamabuki was following the footsteps. The figure turned to her face, showing its left green eye and injured right eye.

"HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! HOW DARE YOU?" It shrilled, "YAMABUKI! HOW DARE YOU STAB ONE OF MY EYES OUT, WHEN I HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED YOU ONCE?"

The figure was, in fact, the doll in the room. It came to life… or rather, the doll was Soul Martyr's Stand.

Yamabuki gasped, "Wait… It's just a doll! What kind of Stand is that? NINJA CHARIOT!"

The doll cackled, as Yamabuki's Ninja came out, "YOU FOOL! Don't you see? Your Stand cannot fight me, if you cannot see where you are, right now! As long as you're tied up, under the bed, you cannot hurt me!"

The ninja swung his katana, but Onyx Devil dodged it. It slashed onto its legs, and Yamabuki felt it. The doll swung its spear and lunged down.

XXXXX

Meanwhile, in another room, Peter & Heather knocked on Anne's door. She opened the door and asked, "Oh! Do you two need anything?"

Peter said, "Yes. Listen up… Don't leave this room, for a while. Chazz will come for you, later."

Heather stated, "Keep your door locked, okay? And DON'T open it for any strangers."

Anne said, "Okay…"

Peter and Heather leave to meet with Michelle.

XXXXX

Back in Yamabuki's room, Onyx Devil stabs down on the bed, as Yamabuki was struggling to break free. She said, "This bed is heavy… There's no way I can push it off of me… I got to use Ninja Chariot's sword to cut free."

CHOMP!
The doll bit on the ninja's calf, and Yamabuki groaned in pain. She cried out, "YOU LITTLE BASTARD!"

She thought, "As soon as I stopped attacking, this happens… You better believe I'll stab randomly in this room, piece by piece, centimeter after every centimeter!"

The Ninja Chariot slashed around the room, but the Onyx Devil leaped and hopped away from Ninja Chariot's sword strikes. The doll grabbed two broken wine bottles and swung at the ninja. It swung around, swiping his katana, but failed to attack him. Onyx Devil cheered, "Looks like the silver samurai could not pin the tail on the donkey, when he's blindfolded! TALK ABOUT DENSE!"

He stabbed the bed, after chomping on the left shoulder. He continued to jab his spear, as Yamabuki roared, "BASTARD! I've have had just about enough of you… YOU LITTLE RUNT!"

Ninja Chariot grabbed a sheet, and draped over the doll.

XXXXX

Back in Room 1212, Michelle waited. Peter and Heather entered, as Michelle asked, "Just you two?"

Rook asked, "Why isn't the girl with you?"

Peter said, "Well, we went to her room, and warned her to stay there."

Heather added, "Mr. Princeton will watch over her. We decided against it, having to take her with us, as it seems she would be vulnerable. In Chazz's protection, it would be safe. But with the rest of us, then the risk of being attacked is far too great."

Michelle said, "Good point. So, we're just waiting for Yamabuki to arrive. But still… It's already been five minutes."

XXXXX

Back in Yamabuki's room, Onyx Devil was screaming to get out.

"GOTCHA!" Yamabuki cried, "Now I'll break that spear in half, you demonic imp!"

SNAP!
She broke off the spear…
SLASH!
But the ninja's hand was cut by a shaving razor. Yamabuki's left hand was cut, and she roared, "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The ninja began to slice and dice at the doll demon, but it ended up smashing the mirror. This gave Onyx Devil the chance to break free, using the shards of glass to rip out of the linen. Ninja Chariot slashed the ropes and freed Yamabuki. She dropped down, and moaned, "Phew… At least I'm out… Now, I have to get Ninja Chariot to get me out of the bed, and get the hell out of this room!"

Just then, the doll began to pour out some unknown fluid from his hands. He was pouring out the juice, liquor, and water from inside the mini-fridge, and doused the entire floor.

"Oh, great… NOW what's he doing?" She complained.

The doll finished, after he jabbed the cans of juice with the knife and razor, and then kicked the cans, all over the floor. The floor was completely flooded, as it spoke, "HEY, YAMABUKI? How about I take a bite out of your boobs?"

Yamabuki growled, "I can't believe this doll… That guy's an obscene little jerk!"

The ninja swung at the doll, but he avoided the strike. He hung from a chain and called out, "YOU FOOL! Try and get me now! I'm going to another place, where you cannot get me! Try getting yourself out of this mess! You're stuck to the floor, like a rat on a glue trap!"

Yamabuki looked at her hands. The carpets are coated with slimy liquid.

"The carpets are soaked with beer, juice, and alcohol! Being you're young, you have a stocked bar, I put it to good use! Why, maybe I can also wet you with my own piss, if I had any… EH, HEH, HEH, HEH, HEH, HEH…"

He turned on a hair dryer that is shooting fire, "OH, LOOK! A hair dryer! And it's lit up like a bonfire in a festival! What do you think I am going to do with it, Yamabuki?"

He tossed the hair dryer down and smiled, "Time to put an end to your curse, Yamabuki… You shall die in this room, a corpse that is fried by electrocution!"

Yamabuki smirked, "You're not the only one that can break stuff, YOU SATANIC LITTLE PINCUSHION!"

SLASH! STAB!
Ninja Chariot appeared from in the bed, impaling the hair dryer and Onyx Devil's head. The doll cried, "WHAT? HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS ON TOP OF THE BED? I TRAPPED YOU UNDERNEATH IT!"

Yamabuki explained, "SIMPLE! I broke all the mirrors in this room! And when those shards fell down, I can see clear as day, from down here!"

The ninja tossed the doll into the wall, crashing into the wine glasses. Yamabuki got up and called out, "SUCKS TO BE YOU, DOLLFACE! At last, we meet, you glorified kewpie doll knockoff!"

The doll shrieked, and then ran away. But Yamabuki slashed him down, calling out, "WHOA, THERE!"

She went towards the downed doll and asked, "Now then, before I oust you, I have a question… I seek a gynoid with black hair and a red gem on her cleavage… And she has something to answer for… Save me some trouble, and tell me where she is!"

The doll growled, "Wha-? What? Why the hell would I ask you that? NO assassin, worth a damn, can ever reveal the Spirit's identity! It only happens for certain death, for his or her opponent!"

He boasted, "YOU GUYS ALWAYS SHOW YOUR POWERS, AND TO BOAST IT OFF TOWARDS THE LIKES OF US! IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT, WE ALL KNOW YOUR WEAKNESSES! IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT MIRROR, I WOULD'VE KILLED YOU! YOU'RE JUST A BITCH WHO GOT LUCKY!"

Yamabuki smirked, "Fine then… Come at me!"

The doll gasped, as Yamabuki barked, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that you wanted to bite off my breasts, tough guy? Go ahead and try it… I DARE YOU, YOU VULGAR LITTLE SHIT!"

The doll lunged towards Yamabuki, as she cried, "I'm… I'm gonna…"
SLASH-SLASH-SLASH!
"SLICE OFF EVERYTHING, INCLUDING YOUR OWN BALLS!" Ninja Chariot slashed Onyx Devil into pieces with its katana.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
A huge scream was made, from inside the hotel. That scream belonged to Soul Martyr.

Meanwhile, in the men's bathroom, the janitor knocked on the door and called, "Excuse me, sir… Can you come out of there? You were in the bathroom, for quite some time…"

He opened the door and gasped in horror and fright. He saw the body of Soul Martyr, sliced up and dead, covering his entire body in pieces.

[Soul Martyr's Final Moments]

XXXXX

A bloodied and battered Yamabuki finally made it to Room 1212, moments later. Rook asked, "Yamabuki? You okay?"

Michelle said, "Good. You've came, after all. Anyways, we need to form a plan of attack, in case Soul Martyr plans to strike."

Yamabuki, badly injured, complained weakly, "You… gotta be… kidding me…"

She collapsed and groaned. Heather cried, "OH, FUCK! She's been injured!"

Michelle called, "Quick! Get a medical pack!"

Eventually, Yamabuki was easily patched up from her battle, as she told the others everything.

Of course, Yamabuki's actions were deemed heroic, but not to the authorities in Singapore. She was arrested and being interrogated by the detective.

"ANSWER ME, PUNK!" The chief policeman roared, "WHY WAS THERE A DEAD BOY'S BODY IN YOUR ROOM?"

Yamabuki sulked, ignoring the policeman's roars. She knew that if she told the truth, no one would believe her. The policeman yelled, "AND WHAT ABOUT THE DEAD BODY THAT WAS IN THE BATHROOM? The two are connected, aren't they?"

Yamabuki growled, "Hmmmmmngh…"

The policeman roared, "ANSWER ME NOW!"

Yamabuki said, "Sir, I have a right to be silent, remember? That is exactly what I am doing."

A man in a brown suit appeared, as Yamabuki cried, "YOU FINALLY SHOWED UP! I was waiting a while!"

The policeman said, "Sit down, punk! This detective is taking you to prison, where you belong!"

However… back in Room 1212, Michelle explained to Rook, as the man was holding a book with the insignia for the Speedwagon Foundation:
"After Yamabuki's fight with Onyx Devil, I had Cy-Bo-Div and Feral Beauty call the Speedwagon Foundation, and they struck a deal. Yamabuki should be released, without too much hassle."

Rook added, "But that was cutting it close, even for us… To think that the enemy would strike us, early on."

Rook was on the phone, as he was talking to someone. He nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am… I understand. I'll report back for more information. Goodbye."

He hung up, as Michelle asked, "And who is that?"

Rook explained, "That was Scarlet. I heard about what is going on, back in America. No news on Mizuki's recovery, but we have heard the one of the cards, Temperance, has been taken out. Agent Stevens and Sakurai have beaten him, and are still in New York. Agents Cooke and Gooden have already left to New Jersey. I'm surprised that our enemies are doing dual duties, when wanting our heads."

Michelle said, "Don't forget that MIO's body once belonged to Stephanie McMahon. It means that with the powers in her body, while she is united, she'll know everything that we all do. That's why her minions' attacks are relentless. But we can use that in our advantage, since she reads our thoughts, so we can read hers."

Rook asked, "Then, shall I buy you a camera?"

Michelle replied, looking at an analog television, "That won't be necessary. I can use my Ghost Writer, even without a camera."

"What?"

Michelle approached the television and said, "Alright… TY KO KY GHOST WRITER!"

She grabbed the television, as her body was coated in a purple aura and glowing purple eyes. The TV started to go static and malfunction, changing channels on the television, at random. It started to rapidly change the channels, creating a vortex of radio waves and psychic energy. Michelle's ESP Perk and Ghost Writer, combined with her Ty Ko Ky, was able to create supernatural energy from within the television.

"Very strange. The TV acts like it has a mind of its own!" Rook replied.

Michelle explained, "It's switching channels, at random, so it can create a message from among the channels. It'll create a message for the ear, not the eye."

The TV spoke, in random flicks, "It looks like there… is a…"

Michelle called, "THERE! I think the first part says "There is a"."

The TV continued, "Tray… tooooooooooooour… from among… us all!"

Michelle was cautious, "Huh? There is a… What the hell did it just say?"

Rook said, "I could be wrong, but it says that there is a traitor among us!"

The TV continued, "Head… ERRF! Done. BEWARRRRRRRRRRRE! Of… her! Me-! OH! Loyal… SERVANT!"

Michelle gasped, "HEATHER?! What? It can't be!"

Rook cried, "That's impossible… Heather's MIO's servant? I know Mr. Nevins is her husband, and is sided with the evil MIO, but this?"

The TV went into white noise, as it showed a vision of a naked woman in long black hair and her back turned to the screen. It was MIO!

"AGH! THIS IS-!" Michelle cried.

MIO smirked, as she cackled, "Eh-heh-heh-he-he-he-he-he-he-heeeeee-! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Michelle Nevins, you annoying cunt! You were watching me… WELL, WATCH THIS!"

The wicked vampire covered her breasts with her right arm, and held her left arm up to the screen.

Michelle screamed, as the television screen started to crack, "MIO!"

Rook shrieked, "SHE'S FOUND US! LOOK OUT!"

KABOOM!
The TV exploded, as Michelle and Rook dived out of the way. Rook moaned, as he cried, "That can't be true… Can it?"

Michelle said, "You heard the message! It makes sense! There is a traitor among us all! Ghost Writer says that Heather Dunn is a traitor! A servant to MIO, who will at one point betray all of us!"

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

"There must be a reason! I've trusted Heather, since we first met! There has to be an explanation! And I won't believe that Heather would betray us!"

"Your brother has betrayed us, before, and again… If his wife would betray us, what next?"

Michelle explained, "It could be any one of us, and if she is a servant to MIO, being that most of our powers are connected to her, she could kill us, even while we're sleeping! She'd be MIO's very own Trojan Horse!"

They got up and dusted themselves off. Michelle asked Rook, "Where's Heather now?"

Rook explained, "She's with Peter and Mr. Princeton."

Outside, Chazz was walking with Anne, as Peter was far away from the others. Heather was walking behind Chazz, with both a worried look on her face, and a menacing glare. Peter viewed Heather's sudden face, and lightly breathed black air from his mouth.

Heather Dunn? A traitor? What does it mean?

To be continued…
