If you remember last time, Team Nevins encountered the vile Hatsuharu Sohma, one of Tohru Honda's remaining followers. His mission: avenge Kagura Sohma's untimely death, and procure revenge on the Nevins Family, including the girl responsible, Beth Nevins. However, time is of an importance, as Haru planted Jet Black Haru, his Stand, and installed a LUST Core into Michelle Nevins' brain. Now, they have about 10 minutes to remove it, or else Michelle Nevins will become one with the evil vampire.

Meanwhile, Haru & Chazz stay together, ensuring that Chazz doesn't lose his cool, while Peter, despite bailing on the others, started to learn a brand-new ability: He's able to awaken his Spirit Caller!

Episode XXX – Chapter 3: The Devil Inside!
Behold the Faceless Spirit Caller!

Back in the ravine, Chazz moaned a bit, after he was stomped on by Haru, forming a bridge for him to cross. Haru walks off, smirking, until he asked him, "Oh, hey, Chazz… How about you scratch my back? I got an itch."

Chazz huffed, "Seriously?"

Haru said, "Not too hard… mind you."

Chazz scratches Haru's back, as he was enjoying it.

Elsewhere, Michelle started to feel scratching from her back. She was still under Haru's effects, namely Jet Black Haru.

"Ah! Ahhh!" Michelle shivered, "It feels like someone is scratching me from behind! I can't concentrate, like this! AH-AAAAAAAAAAH!"

Heather pleaded, "Calm down!"

Heather & Yamabuki noticed that people were watching, seeing Michelle screaming near the window. Heather groaned, "Just perfect… We got a captive audience…"

Michelle cried, "WHAT'S GOING ON? OH, GOD! MAKE IT STOP!"

Yamabuki said, "Miss Nevins, keep your voice down! You're making an ass of yourself, in front of these people! Keep this up, and they'll think you're nuts!"

Michelle roared, "You think I'm screaming for the hell of it? OHHH, NOOO!"

The townspeople started to throw money towards her, as they were worried.
"That poor woman."
"I pity her."
"She must be lost. Why don't we give her change?"
"Older relatives like that can be tough."

Heather thought, "Why are they throwing money at her?"

Yamabuki asked, "Heather, may I suggest you buy the TV? This crowd is making us nuts!"

Heather nodded, "Right.

She turned to the clerk and said, "Excuse me, sir? Is this your store? I'd like to buy that TV!"

Meanwhile, far away from the girls, Haru and Chazz kept walking. Haru stopped and growled, thinking to himself, "Unbelievable… Dunn's Ice Mistress and Suou's Ninja Chariot shrunk themselves into Miss Nevins's body, in microscopic form. They intended on fighting me… I can see them! They're traveling through the bloodstream… and headed towards Jet Black Haru."

The girls were headed to the roof, as Heather cried, "HURRY, YOU TWO! We have no time! The LUST Core will produce, if we don't move quickly!"

Yamabuki placed the TV down and said, "Right! Miss Nevins, it's all yours!"

Heather replied, "And hopefully away from the crowd. Do it, Michelle!"

Michelle uses her Hermit Ghost and resumed to view the action on the television. The Spirit Caller and Stand of Heather and Yamabuki arrive at the brainstem, but are blocked by a huge wall of tentacles.

Heather cried, "No way… It's the LUST Core's tentacles!"

Yamabuki growled, "Great. We finally arrive at the brainstem, but the LUST Core's already taken over! DAMN IT!"

They saw the small Ox-like talisman, and Yamabuki cried out, "IT'S HIM!"

Heather yelled, "Uncanny! Just look at him! He's kneading and chopping up Michelle's brain cells into gooey mush, and chopping that gooey mush in nothing, once it continues onwards. And I bet that mush will be food for the LUST Core! We have to destroy that thing and tear out the roots, as fast as we can, or else it'll devour her brain!"

Yamabuki prepared her katana and shouted, "HAI! I'll julienne him TO RIBBONS!"

Ninja Chariot hesitated and said, "You know, on second thought… a finer cut should do the trick."

It swung and jab at Jet Black Haru and yelled, "I'LL TURN YOU INTO A FINE PATÉ!"

Jet Black dodged each strike, and they both clash from inside the brain. The Ox Stand prepares its talons onto Ninja Chariot.

"NO, YOU DON'T!" she roared.

SLASH!
Ninja Chariot slashed onto Jet Black Haru's chest, making him wobbly.

"NOW!"
Ninja Chariot delivers one final blow, landing a very strong blade strike to the chest. Jet Black Haru falls to the flood.

"WE DID IT!" Heather cheered.

Yamabuki said, "NO! Not quite. I'll say that he's fast, but I am so lucky… I already figured him out. If that guys is tough, he's no match for-!"

Heather yelled, "YAMABUKI! Who are you talking to?"

Another Ice Empress appeared, as Yamabuki gasped, "Huh?"

Two of Heather's Spirit Callers were in her view, one pointing at her, and one behind her. The Ice Empress behind her was melting, as the Ice Empress in front of her was the real Ice Empress.

Heather cried, "That was not the real Jet Black! And look! He's melting!"

The melting Ice Empress hissed, "I'm Black Haru!"

POW!
Jet Black Haru appeared, landing a swift blow to Ninja Chariot.

Heather stated, "He's disguised himself, using the brain cells… Michelle's brain cells!"

Yamabuki coughed out blood and groaned, as Michelle cried, "YAMABUKI!"

Heather added, "Somehow, he kneaded enough brain cells to create a double of my Ice Empress! And since he made that disguise, all you destroyed was a decoy of her brain cells!"

Black Haru roared, "You hit the nail on the head! And you dumb broads fell for it, completely!"

He cackled, as the others were shocked.

Back in the other side, Haru was laughing, as Chazz was forced to shine Haru's shoes.

PUNT!
"COME ON!" He kicked him in the face, "Get your head out of your ass, and shine them right!"

He added, as he was smiling, "I'm in such a good mood, right now, and I don't need to stand up. Right now, I want you to shine up these boots, as shinier than the mood I am in, right now. You can stop, all you want, but the sun in the sky makes these puppies sparkle, like crazy. OH! And also, I want you to use your tongue on them…"

Chazz growled, as he was writing to himself on a notebook. Haru roared, taking the notebook, "HEY, YOU BASTARD! What are you writing there?"

He looked, as they were the exact things Haru did, since they met him. Chazz said, "That's your tab. I wrote it down so I won't forget…"

Haru growled, "Scoundrel… Well, it doesn't matter… The girls have already sealed in their fate, and the fatass has abandoned you… It won't be long, as it's meaningless, in the end…"

Back inside the brain, the melting Black Haru started to split apart. Yamabuki cried, "WHOA! Heather, look! Look at the decoy's head I cracked open!"

It produced into an extra double of Jet Black Haru. There were now three Jet Black Harus!

Michelle cried, "What the hell's going on? Somehow, he's split into two!"

The Stand cackled, "HAHAHAHAHA! To win in life, one must thoroughly know oneself! It's like Aesop's Fables. When the tortoise beats the hare in the race, he knows he can beat him, because he has more abilities more than anyone else! Of course, this also applies to me. I'm no fool. I know perfectly well that I don't have the strong power or speed, necessary to mortally wound you, one-on-one, but remember this: the spoils belong to the only ones who know of their own weaknesses!"

Heather fired her snowballs at the Black Haru, but it broke apart, producing more Jet Black decoys. They gasped, as Heather cried, "NO WAY! It's multiplying, rapidly, every hit we make! But a person can have only one Stand! So, in retrospect, the fakes are created with Michelle's brain cells, and the real one is hidden within the crowd! But… which one is the real Stand?"

"RIGHT HERE!" Three Jet Black Harus lunged behind Yamabuki, but she quickly sliced them in half, using her ninja instinct.

"ICE MACE BARBS!" Ice Empress eviscerated the mulch with her spiky snowballs.

"Well, that's no good." Jet Black Haru hissed, "Foresight and defense is your strong point. Any close, and I would've been killed."

SMASH!
One snowball decapitated the Black Haru Stand. But that, too, was a decoy. The mulch started to pulsate and bubble, and they reproduced, creating more clones.

"Not good!" Heather cried, "The more we destroy, the more they multiply!"

They all chanted, "IT'S ME! IT'S ME! THEY'RE ALL ME! CAN'T YOU TELL?"

Michelle barked, "Heather, Yamabuki, that's enough! Withdraw your powers, now! I can't let you guys get hurt, even if you are trying to save me!"

Yamabuki shouted, "NO WAY IN HELL! I cannot stand the thought of letting you die, like this!"

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? DO AS I SAY! It's over!"

Heather shouted, "You can't quit, Michelle! We'll fight, until the end!"

Michelle nodded, "Fine…"

Heather was confused, "I can't tell these apart… Damn it… They all look the same, like in a Where's Waldo book. But which one is the real Stand?"

Black Haru snickered, "The world's weakest Spirit Caller is…"

The decoys chanted, "THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST! THE MOST POWEFUL OF THEM ALL! YAHHHH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

Meanwhile, Haru was cackled, as he and Chazz were in the jewelry store. Peter was watching in the shadows, as he waited for his time to strike. He knew that he cannot strike him, as long as Haru has Michelle in his control, and that one punch may end her.

Haru noticed a gold bracelet and said, "Beautiful… Now there's something that a girl can enjoy… Hey, Chazz, do me a favor and sneak into that case, and steal it for me. See that small opening in the glass? Use your Spirit Caller to take it."

Chazz stood and said and did nothing. Haru hissed, "Steal it… What part of it do you not understand, moron? Get a move on! I don't mind breaking the glass and taking the bracelet, myself. But then again, the police may beat me to death… and that's for the old hag to surely die from the pain."

He whispered, "DO IT! DO IT, before the salesman turns back!"

Chazz sighs in anger, as he approached the case. He reached for the case, but…

CLASP!
"Bastard!" Peter grabbed his arm and called, "HEY! You trying to shoplift, and frame him? Not on my watch, you punk!"

Haru growled, "You…" and then smirked.

He called "HEY! These two are shoplifting!"

The salesman gasped, as he cried, "I'll go call for help!"

He ran off, as Haru giggled, "Nice try… You found me out. Too bad you morons didn't underestimate me."

Chazz growled, "Son of a-…"

Three burly thugs appeared, as the first one asked, "Alright, now. Who's the thief?"

The second one said, "Which one of you is the culprit?"

Peter sighed, "It wasn't me. I tried to stop him."

The third one asked, "Who? The Asian kid? You know, back in my day, when someone steals something, we chop their fingers off."

Chazz stammered, as Peter growled, "Do not judge us. I advise that you let me worry about it."

The second huge guy said, "Sorry, sir. But the kid looks sneaky…"

Haru smirked, "Hey, Chazz… You better not use your Spirit Caller against civilians…"

Peter whispered, "Do as he says… That asshole is mine, when his guard is down."

"Shut up! Who says you would be his Jiminy Cricket?"

"I am not. I could care less what he did… But…"

BASH!
"PUNK!" The thug beats down Chazz with a bat, as they went and lambast both Chazz and Peter, using wooden bats. Haru snuck by and stole the jewels from in the case, while the thugs weren't looking.

Of course, Chazz and Peter were thrown out, badly hurt.

"NOW YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, AND DON'T EVER COME BACK! GOOD-FOR-NOTHING ASSHOLES!" The first thug yelled out.

The second thug roared, "If you leave now, and soon, we won't break your hands off!"

The men marched off, laughing, as Peter was seething in pain. He huffed, "Damn them…"

Haru laughed, "How pathetic! The giant who is big and friendly… standing up to his friend… But thanks to that display of defiance, I was able to get something better than that bracelet…"

Peter laughed, as he was struggling to get up, "You just don't get it…"

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LAUGHING AT? WHAT'S SO DAMN FUNNY?" Haru yelled.

Peter snickered, "Nothing… It's just I'm getting too excited. I'm laughing because that doubles your punishment… and I'm waiting for this moment. Consider me like your executioner, and I triple as judge and jury. I can't say when, but I have a feeling that you're on a one-way trip to hell!"

Haru stomped on Peter's back and roared, "WHY, YOU-! It would seem that we have a sort of a misunderstanding. I'm sorry to say that your old lady isn't long for this world."

Peter said, "How sad… Apparently, you never know The Nevins Family, like I do… and I see that you don't know Heather, at all…"

"Come again?"

Meanwhile, Heather smirked, "It seems to me that you're in the knowing of knowing oneself. I suppose I can accept that. But before you start pontificating, know this… There's another adage: know thy enemy. Can't you see? My Empress has an ability!"

Her Spirit Caller produced icy tentacles and wrapped every Black Haru Decoy in the ankles. Heather said, "I have the ability to stretch out my snow barbs! And I have been inspecting every single one of you! Consider this, like you are inches deep in snow, and your ankles are so cold…"

Black Haru cried, "NO WAY! How come I didn't see that?"

Heather cried out, "SO, YOU'RE THE STAND! ICE EMPRESS – HAILSTORM FLURRY!"

The Stand gets jabbed by huge dagger-like hailstones, firing from Ice Empress's hands and chest.

Michelle and Yamabuki cried, "SUCCESS!"

SPLOOSH!
Haru's head busted open in a huge spurt of blood, as he cried, "AAAAAAGH! What the-? That damn blonde skank!"

Peter smiled, "Well, well… Looks like Heather is useful for something, after all. So… will I get my payback, once she's done?"

The Black Haru dug into the brain floor, as Yamabuki called, "You realize that he's escaping into the artery!"

Heather said, "That means he's retreating!"

Michelle asked, "So, what now?"

Yamabuki asked, "Does that mean we won?"

Heather said, "Not quite! HURRY, MICHELLE! THE FLESH BUD!"

Michelle nodded, "Right!"

She held her head and shone her eyes in purple, "TY KO KY OVERDRIVE!"

Her head was engulfed inside of her bright purple hue. It eviscerated the LUST Core from within.

Michelle sighed, "Thank god, it's gone…"

Yamabuki smiled, "Well, for what it's worth, it brought the three of us, closer together."

Michelle snuffed, "You're incorrigible, Yamabuki."

She gasped, realizing, "WAIT! If that thing leaves my brain… then… suppose it goes into another host body?"

The Jet Black Haru jetted away into the sky. Yamabuki yelled, "That bastard is retreating to its user!"

Michelle cried, "Peter & Chazz have no way of knowing!"

Peter stared down at Haru, as Haru was shaken. He asked, "What's wrong? Why are you backing away from me? I really want to know about Michelle…"
Haru ran off, but one of his Phantoms landed a swift kick to the gut. Peter grabbed his collar and said, "Hey, wait a minute… What's with the big hurry? You're not trying to run away, after all you've done?"

Haru shrieked, as his hair was being pulled. He ripped off a lock of his white hair and said, "Stay down!"

Haru was on his hands and knees, pleading for mercy. He cried out, "PLEASE, HAVE MERCY! YOU WIN! I know I want to change, but I've done bad stuff! Beat me up, kick me, hit me… but please, do not kill me! I beg of you to spare my life! I was only following MIO's orders!"

"Which is it? MIO or Steven Nevins? You know, I have a feeling that you three are in cahoots… Since your master, Tohru Honda, is rotting in hell, what next? Are you indecisive on who your master is?"

Haru thought, "Soon… Just soon… Jet Black Haru will return… Just you wait, you bastard! It's going to enter your brain, too! Chazz has Ojama Star, which is fast. But he's slower than dog shit! Heather can't save you from 100 meters away! I'll make you suffer, even more horrible than before!"

The Jet Black Haru appeared, and entered into Peter's ear. But…

"Yoink~!" A Phantom appeared and nabbed the tiny Stand. It mildly crushed the Stand, as Haru shrieked in pain, with his arms and legs contorted.

Peter said, "Let me guess… You have said before "After Michelle, I'm next…", huh? You forget… I am too fast for you, in the darkness. I kinda figured you do something shitty like that. Ojama Star has excellent eyesight and adequate reflexes… but do you know that my Phantoms are that faster than that? Say, three times more alert and faster? You're pathetic… Didn't you even check up on us, at all?"

He went forward, as Haru was shaken in fright, "NO, NO, NO, NO! Please forgive me! I wasn't planning on anything, not against your Spirit's power!"

Peter asked, "Huh? Did you say your Spirit? Only your?"

Chazz added, "Did you understand whose Spirit or Stand you're fighting?"

Haru cried, "Lemme explain! I meant to say that your awesome and proud Stands and Spirit Callers are far superior to any other!"

Chazz said, "He doesn't even have a Spirit Caller, but he knows what I am saying…"

Haru cried, "YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND! You crushed my bones in twigs, and I had to retreat! But you crushed me hard! Look at what you've done! I cannot even fight anymore!"

The Phantom continued to press its fingers, as Peter said, "In that case… I guess I'll take pity on you… Your arm and leg will be payments for all the low blows towards Mr. Princeton… but on one condition… You never show your ugly mug around here, again…"

Haru cried, "I'll do as you say, I promise! I'll head to some deserted island and hide away! You won't find me there, ever again!"

Peter said, "Curious… Why do you want revenge on Beth, after her father sent you to kill us? You should know by now that Mr. Nevins and Kagura were once enemies…"

Haru shouted, "THAT BRAT KILLED KAGURA-? MR. NEVINS'S DAUGHTER? Then the blonde is his wife! HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT?"

Peter glared at Haru, "You leave the Nevins Family alone, Sohma… or it'll be 10,000 times worse off than what you're given…"

Haru pleaded, "I WILL! I WILL! JUST SPARE ME! I HAD NO IDEA!"

Peter freed Jet Black Haru and said, "Fine. Fuck off."

He walked off, as Chazz said to him, "My watch?"

Haru growled, as he sneered, "Bastard… Your fat friend don't scare me…"

Peter stopped, as Chazz sighed, "Good grief… Now you've done it."

Peter growled, "What did you say, you pitiful dog?"

Haru held up a switchblade knife and snickered, "It's not over yet, you bastard!"

He called out, "See these children, Peter Giese? You're an utter fool."

Three kids were playing ball, as a girl in pink was holding the ball. Haru added, "The girl, in the middle… It might be interesting to know that my Stand, Jet Black Haru, went into that girl's ear. Now, he's inside her brain!"

He called out, "YOU BETTER NOT MOVE, GIESE! One false move, and I'll stab myself, only for her to feel my pain, tenfold! You can't stop me, Giese!"

Haru cackled, "Here's an alternative! I'll stab you in the back, and end your horrid life! Attack me with your dark powers, and then I end this girl's life! But you would never allow yourself to waste an innocent child's life, would you?"

Peter huffed, "Oh, gimme a break…" and then turned to him, "If you want to end me, try the heart. DO IT!"

Haru yelled, "HEY NOW! DID YOU NOT HEAR ME? I JUST TOLD YOU NOT TO-!"

PING!
It hit him. Haru knew of something wrong. He was trembling lightly, as he squeaked, "N-n-n-n-. No… You wouldn't… I told… you not… to move… Wait…"

Peter grabbed his wrist and swatted the knife off, "What's the matter? Didn't you say you were going to stab me? Like this?"

He stabbed Haru with his free hand, onto the shoulder. Haru screamed, and then started to feel intense pain, "MY BODY WON'T MOVE! WH-WHY?"

Inside the girl's brain, Black Haru was tethered in Heather's snow wire, and he screamed, "WHAT THE-? WHY CAN'T I MOVE? WHAT IS THIS THING WRAPPED AROUND ME?"

Peter smiled, "I see you noticed the ice wire, made of barbed wire and chilblains. As you were making your escape, Heather tied Ice Empress's barbed wire into its leg. And since they stretch, like a string to a kite, you were so self-righteous that you didn't even noticed."

Heather's icy wire pulled the Stand out of the girl's ear, and then the children ran off, laughing. Haru bowed in fright, "NO! FORGIVE ME! I BEG OF YOU! SPARE ME!"

Peter's aura coated in black, as he said, "Ask forgiveness for Enyama, the woman you killed… As for me, I never had any intention on forgiving you, either."

Haru growled, "You punk… How did you even know Mr. Nevins… and his own grudges? He paid me for the madness… You can have it all!"

Peter huffed, "Not interested."

He took Chazz's watch from his pocket and said, "I know that it's blatantly obvious… but you are a piece of work…"

His Phantoms appeared, as Peter concluded, "With that being said, what you owe me… CAN NEVER BE PAID BACK WITH MONEY!"

His first Phantom kneeled down, as the other two did a Fusion Dance.
"Fuuuuuuuuuu… sion! HAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The Phantoms touched each other's index fingers, with the left Phantom touching his right finger onto the right Phantom's left, and the middle Phantom touching his indexes on the remaining fingers.

They shouted, "YORU NO SEN AKUMA – DARKNESS DEVIL!"

A huge flash was made, as his Phantoms merged, turning into a huge faceless black demon with horns and demon wings. His fists also have talons and claws.

Peter hissed, "Ask Kagura… why you sided with her mortal enemy… AND WHY YOU PISS OFF THE WRONG DEVIL! DIE!"

His Darkness Devil Spirit Caller has been awakened. He landed a severe volley and barrage of punches and chops onto Haru, slicing his skin and body.

"ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA! ORAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

WHAM! POW!
Peter landed the final blow, onto his chest, rupturing his heart. Haru coughed up blood, and then croaked, "No… Why was-? Urk…"

He dropped to the ground and made a dying groan. He walked off and said, "I'm not finished, though… Rest in peace…"

He called to Chazz, "I'll be right back."

He went to the jewelry shop and called out, "HEY! Send your thugs out!"

The thugs returned, as the first thug shouted, "HEY! I THOUGHT WE SAID THAT YOU GET OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!"

Peter flashed his badge and said, "AAW-New York… I'm shutting this jeweler down… I'm on-duty… and you had no right to assault an active officer… So, you want to accuse me for stopping the boy? The guy in white hair is the real thief… Unless, of course, you don't believe me…"

One of his Phantoms locked the door and switched the OPEN sign to CLOSED. The clerk gasped in horror, as the second Phantom added, "Manners… maketh man."

The first thug roared, "YOU BASTARD! WE'RE BEATING YOU DEAD AND SENDING YOUR BODY BACK TO AMERICA! DIE, YOU AMERICAN THIEF!"

Peter roared, "NO! YOU DIE! ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

He lambasted the thugs with his Darkness Devil, and landed a deadly barrage of blows to the thugs, destroying the store from within.

"ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA! ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA! ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA!"
SMASH!
He destroyed two jewelry display cases, landing a huge powerbomb to the third thug.
SMASH!
He destroyed another with his own fists and talons.
SLASH-SLASH!
The second thug was slashed in the chest by his razor-sharp double edged fists.

POW! POW! POW! SMASH!
His carnage continued, as he destroyed the jewelry store he was kicked out of, and was brutally assaulted by. Chazz sighed, as he looked at Haru's lifeless body. He smirked, as he wrote on his notebook, "Since the fatass is busy, it's my job to pay your bill."

He ripped a page off and said, "Your receipt. You can keep the fucking change."

He threw the paper, and waited for Peter to return from his carnage. The page said Chazz Princeton's name, as it flew towards Haru's body. His chest was badly scarred and bloodied, with the words "Vengeful Wrath" carved on it.

Inside, the clerk was frightened, as the three thugs were beaten to a bloodied pulp. He then showed severed fingers to the clerk, and said, "Here. This is your severance pay. And as for the damages, send the bill to the World Government, care of Triple H."

The clerk pleaded, "Yes, sir. Yes, sir!"

He glared at the clerk, "And if you call the police on me, I'll make sure you won't have any fingers left…"

The clerk sobbed, "Yes, sir! I won't!"

He turned around and said, calmly, "Have a nice day, sir."

He walked off, as the clerk was shuddering, seeing his business destroyed by one big angry devil. He sobbed, as he was out of business. Peter slammed the door to the shop, and debris from the ceiling fell.

Outside, Chazz said to Peter, "Good grief… You're a real piece of work, when you're angry…"

Peter said, giving back the watch to Chazz, "Next time, I'll give you the next villain. Of course, won't be long, before we reach Egypt."

Chazz said, "Hey, thanks… But you shouldn't have run off, for the old hag's safety."

"She may be old… but…" Peter added, "I would never abandon a friend."

They walked together, heading off to find the others. Needless to say, their time in Pakistan was over with, but not without closure. Luzer suddenly appeared and flew onto Hatsuharu's corpse. Luzer nodded, "What a waste of a Stand User… If he'd figured it out, he'd know that Mr. Nevins would never had any intention on killing The Gang. Even so, he was working for MIO that he's just furious over what became of three years ago. I guess he'll never know the real truth."

He pecked onto his chest and said, "Now then… Time to make delivery… Master's Spirit Caller is finally awakened… Now, The Gang's strong enough to face MIO, face-to-face. But all the players have yet to appear…"

Luzer grabbed Haru's body, with his talons, and said, "Anyways… This bovine Stand User will make a delicate beef stroganoff… with Eye of Newt and Toad's Wart."

The body started to shroud in black and vanish from the area, heading to Transylvania, as Luzer's newest food supply. He flew off, heading back home, as he said in a smile, "My work here is done."

[Hatsuharu Sohma – Jet Black Haru: Deceased]

Back in New York, Scarlet was annoyed, as she asked the others, "Are you serious?"

Cassandra said, "Señora, maybe there's a reason why you always blame it on Triple H… The WANTED posters. Perhaps that you wanted payback, after what The Authority did."

Scarlet added, "True… But if anyone's the scapegoat, it's him, not me. But that bastard didn't have to arrest me, as a common criminal, for a crime I sorta committed! I was under Broken Matt's spell, before Imperial Lobby! And I wanted to fight Triple H, too, but this is suicide!"

Farra pleaded, "Ma'am, let me be the Kingslayer, and end Triple H's grudge on us! I know his wife is now under MIO's claw, but if he continues to berate at us, for something we were too late to save, this will end with YOU going broke! He and Stephanie were responsible for The Great War, and the death of Cecelia Cooke, Steven's sister… and they didn't get punished for it! For once, Scarlet, let me take this mission."

Scarlet cried, slamming her hands down, "ARE YOU NUTS? OUT OF THE QUESTION! As much as I want to see Triple H get his comeuppance, I'm powerless to do so! He may be evil, but he overpowers us! And yet, I blame him for your idiotic and reckless actions, and they don't care! They still blame him for what happened, three years ago! He represents the World Government, as do we! If we fight back, physically, it'll ruin our careers!"

Steven hissed, "Trust me. We cannot have that. But you said that it may cause an international incident. Well, bad news, Scarlet… Even if you'd attack him, they won't believe him."

Mundy pleaded, "Come on, Scarlet. For me? I mean, we're both from ICPO, and we can vouch for their actions."

Scarlet said, "Yeah… But that's one thing! I know Cassandroid made a possible request, but it's deemed impossible!"

Cassandra barked, "Impossiblé? Bleh-bleh?"

"Bleh-bleh!"

"Si, muchacho… and don't call me that name, again."

"Agent Stevens, are you sure you want to risk this?" Scarlet asked Farra.

Farra replied, as she calmly said, "Yes. If it means that we may or may not get the bounties off our back, I want to settle the score."

Steven stated, "If you want to settle a score, start with Broken Matt Hardy… He started this mess."

Scarlet nodded, "Yeah, but he's nowhere near our radar! Plus, I'm the one that has his powers of Broken Brilliance! Why do you think I saved you bozos from certain disaster, just recently?"

Asahi shivered, "I don't know…"

Scarlet sighed, and then concluded, "It means so much to learn more about Broken Matt… and why Triple H hated us… but…
