Aboard the BattleVan, Steven Cooke and the others, including Scarlet Riley, were heading to Stamford, to have a talk with Triple H, about the WANTED posters that he produced, which has every member of The Gang in their bounty list (everyone except for Cassandra, Rook, Chazz, & Yamabuki).

While Team Nevins is closer to Egypt, still up in the Middle East, Team A-Fist heads to New England, to ascertain the situation of The Gang's reputation.

Scarlet said, as she was sitting in the front seat, while Mundy was driving, "Just so you know, I should be back in New York. Not because I don't want to, but someone needs to watch Mizuki."

Mundy smiled, "It's alright, Scarlet. You're only for this one mission."

Steven sighed, saying nothing. Asahi said, "Ever since we returned, we were planted as being criminals…"

Cassandra replied, "Indeed. So much Pesos… Combined, all of you have a total of about $750 million; approximately Seven hundred and forty-eight million and fifty dollars. I assume the fifty is Miss Dunn's bounty."

Scarlet said, "Her mask kept her face hidden."

Farra smiled, "But still, that gives us a challenge. We're almost like the Straw Hat Pirates. We just love the adventure going on, around the Moji Mikisa."

Scarlet barked, "ARE YOU DAFT? The Moji Mikisa did nothing for us! Not just weird town names, but this Earth, as well! Your friends are now in the Middle East, while we're stuck in our asses in the Eastern US!"

She calmed down and said, "But still…"

Asahi replied, "I know this sounds rude, but… Shouldn't we fly to Stamford?"

The others were annoyed, as Scarlet groaned, "Three years of this…"

Mundy smirked, flipping switches, "Already on it, Asa!"

Scarlet gasped, "OSKY! YOU WOULDN'T!"

Mundy said, "Sorry, love! Asahi made a point! Plus, it's been a while, since you last flew in this!"

The BattleVan went into flight mode, and flew away, heading to Connecticut.


Episode XXX – Chapter 4: Here Comes the Sun!
Team A-Fist in New England!


Meanwhile, in the Middle East, having laid to waste of Hatsuharu Sohma's invasive attack, Team Nevins leave Pakistan, and chose to avoid the political unrest of Iran and Iraq. Instead, they crossed the Arabian Sea from Karachi, to arrive at the United Arab Emirates.

A clerk in a black suit said, "Now then, ma'am, everything will be all set, once we have your name signed."

Michelle was at a dealership in Abu Dhabi, "Hmm. Right here…"

Michelle signed her name on a check, to own a car, to drive their way, closer to Egypt.

Yamabuki said, amazed, "Man, oh, man. This place is awesome…"

Michelle called, batting documents onto her head, "Yamabuki!"

Yamabuki stood up and asked, "What is it?"

"We have to leave! The documents are all set."

Yamabuki fixed her hair and barked, "Seriously! At least watch the hair!"

Michelle huffed, "I could care less about your coif. You should learn from me… You're driving!"

Yamabuki nodded, "Right-o!"

She asked, as they walked, "Hey, Miss Nevins, I know this isn't a good time to ask, but why are we riding an expensive car in a place such as this? Wouldn't it be better if we'd got ourselves an off-road vehicle, instead?"

"Nuh-uh!"

They stepped out, as Michelle concluded, "Oh, there's a method to my madness."

XXXXX

They drove down in a peaceful town, in the bright sun, as Yamabuki said, "Magnificent! Are you guys seeing what I saw? This town is beautiful! Every house is like a mansion!"

Michelle said, "In Tokyo, a house like these would cost up to 3 or 4 billion Yen. However, for most people in the country, it's standard living. It wasn't but 50 years ago, this place was a barren desert. Though, brought in a huge oil well, this place is now a utopia for the rich."

Yamabuki added, "Despite the sun, it is very hot. But we're perfectly safe inside this car, while the AC is on."

Heather pondered, as Chazz asked, "What's wrong, Heather?"

Heather said, "It's nothing. I was thinking of how open this place is. I know there might be someone following us, but I cannot shake the feeling that someone is watching us."

Yamabuki smiled, "Can't blame ya."

Michelle read the map and said, "Well, back to business. I have planned a route to get closer. About a hundred kilometers, when should reach a village called Yarpline. Desert and mountain make taking the direct route impossible. The car may take two days, but we may be able to use a Cessna to get there. If you want my advice, to expedite the travel time, we should go to that village and buy a Cessna, in order to cross the vast Saudi Arabian desert. You know, I've been apprehensive on taking an airplane, or getting anywhere near one. If a Spirit Caller or Stand User were on that plane, and then attacked us, we'd put innocent lives in danger. But if we had a Cessna, I can be the pilot. We'll make it, within a couple of days, for sure."

Peter scoffed, sarcastically, "Flying in a Cessna with a woman who's been in three plane crashes… Sounds perfect to me!"

Michelle was annoyed, as Peter stated, "Don't make that glare at me, Michelle! I done told you I am never flying a plane with you, again! Not after what happened, a while back…"

Michelle growled, "That comment notwithstanding, we should be able to cross the desert and hightail it to the village in Yarpline. And it'll take us one day on camelback."

Yamabuki gasped, "Camelback?! A Cessna is one thing, but on camelback? I've never rode on one, in my life!"

Michelle chuckled, "Just leave everything to me. I'll teach you how to ride these majestic creatures, since I've rode on one, before. You blokes sit back and watch the magic happen!"

XXXXX

Hours later, they arrive at a camel ranch, as Michelle offered to ride on five camels. The merchant said, "Five camels? I don't think I would, being that you people are so wild. But it will cost you, and they needed a gentle touch."

Michelle smiled, "No problem. This is a life-or-death situation, and we need to commandeer your camels, no matter what the cost!"

The merchant laughed, "Well, I won't give you them, without any payment."

Michelle offered, "Well, we're short on cash. SO, how about we trade you five camels for our car?"

The others gasped. The merchant cried, "I couldn't possibly accept such a generous offer!"

Yamabuki complained, "Yeah, Miss Nevins! And besides, you literally just bought that car!"

Michelle smirked, "Well, what other reason did I buy that expensive car for? It is true that an off-road vehicle is perfect for desert travel, but we're not in the big city. We can't just offer a check here; albeit, cash isn't accepted here. In my experience, trading is much more effective in places, such as these. If you find the time to buy safety, in a time of emergency, you'll find yourself even worse off, in the end."

She added, "Besides, I don't know about you, but we've suffered enough, already."

She said to the merchant, "So, Sir, I take it that makes our deal sealed? And also, to make things a little more even, I'd like some water in those tanks, too. It's the most important thing, when you're in the desert."

"But water isn't nearly as valuable as your car, ma'am!" the merchant pleaded, "You are very strange, indeed!"

Michelle chuckled, "Alright, mates! Grab a camel, and we'll get ready to cross that desert!"

They prepared themselves for riding off into the Saudi Arabian desert, riding on camel.

XXXXX

Eventually, they rode on the camels… but not after learning tricks of the trade from Michelle, the Master of Riding Camels.

Yamabuki cried, as a camel snorted at her, "EUGH! These things stink! How are we supposed to ride these things, if they're three meters tall?"

Michelle smiled, "Allow me to show you the proper way to mount on a camel. You have to make them sit first, and then you ride on them."

She pulled the harness to pull the camel down, but the camel didn't budge. "Wha?"

She pulled the harness harder, and cried, "Like I said… make them sit, and then get on! Just like I said!"

She was angry, as she tried to pull, but couldn't, "You make them sit, and then you get on them!"

She even tried climbing on the camel, "Give me a second! I know what went wrong! Any second, this beast will let me sit on him! HEY, SIT DOWN, YOU STUPID BEAST!"

She even climbed onto the saddle, but she was struggling, "DAMN IT! SIT DOWN!"

Yamabuki then asked the so-called Master of Riding Camels, "Uhhh… Miss Nevins… You have rode on those camels before, haven't you?"

Michelle groaned, "I'll have you know, I've watched "Lawrence of Arabia", five times now, from start to finish! I know perfectly well how to ride one!"

She confessed, as she was climbing, "But, although, I slept through half of it, the first two times."

Yamabuki pointed the obvious, "YOU LEARNED TO RIDE FROM A MOVIE?! YOU MEAN… YOU'VE NEVER ACTUALLY RIDDEN ONE, BEFORE?"

BONG!
Michelle was crushed heavily, as she was found out. The camel she tried to ride on slobbered her face with its drool. She was covered in saliva, as she grumbled, "Bloody commoners…"

She hopped down and went to her backpack, "Listen up! When you're handling an animal, it's absolutely imperative to understand exactly how it feels!"

She held up a spare apple and said, "And I know how, exactly…"

She called to the camel, "Here! Doesn't this yummy apple taste good? Come on…"

She showed the apple to the camel, and then she lured it to sit down. Michelle grinned, as she smirked, "SUCCESS!"

She called, "SEE? I made the camel sit down! If you just take the time to use your head, he'll sit down for you, for sure!"

She laughed boisterously, as the camel ate the apple. Michelle got on the camel and rode on its saddle. She called out, "WHOA! So this is how you ride a camel? AMAZING! It's like a three-foot tall stallion! Now this is Middle Eastern Equestrian! By the way, did you know that camels close their nostrils to keep the sand out? And before I proceed, you are forbidden to make stupid camel jokes, understand? These majestic beasts are sensitive."

She then explained, "Now, you greenhorns get a turn riding a camel. But before you do, a little lesson on riding camels.
The first thing you need to know is that camels don't walk like horses. The front and back legs on either side move forward together, so they sway along. But don't worry. If you find a way to stay within the camel's rhythm, I'm sure you'll be fine. For example-."

The camel started to trot, as Michelle cried, "AHAHAHA! HEY, WAIT! YOU'RE GOING TO FAST! SLOW DOWN! LISTEN TO ME, DAMN IT! I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO GO THAT WAY!"

THUD!
She fell off.

Yamabuki, Chazz, Peter, & Heather sighed in disgust, "What a wanker…"

XXXXX

Eventually, they all got on their camel. The others were annoyed, as Michelle, with bandages on her, called out, "Okay then… Now that we got the hang of mounting and riding on camels, we have got a desert to cross. The time has arrived! ONWARD TO THE NORTHWEST!"

They trotted away, heading off through the desert. Moments later, they were still riding on camels, with palm leaves on their tails. This was Yamabuki's idea, since it'll lead off the trail.

Heather said, as she was worried, "I don't know… I have a shaking feeling that someone is following us… I still haven't been able to shake off that feeling."

Yamabuki said, "Heather, don't you think you're worrying too much?"

Peter said, "She's right… Heather's on to something. I feel some sort of presence, too."

Michelle said, "Hey, Big Guy, go take a look."

He held up some binoculars, as he looked around, using his Phantoms and Darkness Devil. He then growled, and gave the binoculars to Chazz, "I'm not sure… Princeton, you take a look."

Chazz said, "Right."

Chazz uses Ojama Star to take a view. Michelle asked, "How about it, boys? Do you see anything suspicious?"

Chazz said, "No, nothing…"

Peter added, "Even so… Something's not right here. What is it?"

Yamabuki chugged down a swig of water, and then called, "Hey! Let's hurry up and go!"

Michelle stated, "She's right. We'll press on forward, until the sun goes down, this evening. And then, we hike up tents. It's much too dangerous to travel at night."

Yamabuki panted, "I only wish to get out of this heat! Look! It's only 122 degrees!"

Michelle agreed, "Yeah, but the weather isn't as its hottest, right around now."

She gasped, as she looked at her watch, "It's eight O'clock?! WHA?"

She called to Chazz, "Hey, Chazz! What time do you have?"

Chazz said, "It's ten past 8…"

He gasped, and asked, "Hey, Old Hag!"

Michelle replied, "My watch is correct… We've lost track of time… but what the hell's going on? According to my watch, it's past 8pm!"

The others grew concerned, as Michelle griped, "SO, WHY ISN'T THE SUN SETTING?"

Yamabuki cried, "This is preposterous! The thermometer is now up to 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit)!"

Heather called, "No… The sun isn't setting, at all!"

Yamabuki cried, "It's actually rising higher in the west!"

Michelle gasped, "Wait! Could it be that this sun is really-?"

Peter responded, "A Stand? It's not a Spirit Caller! No amount of energy would produce a huge star!"

The sun started to rise, as Team Nevins was shocked by its sudden appearance of a huge sun.


Meanwhile, in America, the BattleVan arrived in Stamford.

THEN! NOW! FOREVER! Welcome to beautiful Stamford, Connecticut – Population: Over 900,000 (Metro), the home of WWE, for over 60 years, the revolutionary force in sports entertainment. Founded by Jess McMahon and Toots Mondt in 1952, originally called the Capitol Wrestling Corporation, it is one of the longest-running wrestling promotions in history, next to the National Wrestling Alliance, the largest wrestling organization since 1948.
WWE made its mark in 1963, with the Golden Age, introducing famous superstars of wrestling like Pedro Morales, Bruno Sammartino, Superstar Billy Graham, Bob Backlund, Killer Kowalski, and Chief Jay Strongbow. This evolved into the Modern Era of the 1980s, with legends, such as The Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant, Ric Flair, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, The Undertaker, and others. This, in turn, led the Attitude Era, a decade later, and superstars grew to fame, such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Mick Foley, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and more. Today, this WWE celebrates its ongoing accomplishments, as the current roster named big stars and legends in this promotion, including John Cena, Batista, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, and many others of the current era of wrestling. And also in today's era, women also fight in WWE, starting what is called The Women's Revolution. Independence is welcome, for all genders, in the world of sports-entertainment.

The sky was still bright, as it was 11am. They were outside The Authority's base of operations, as Scarlet said, "This is it. Okay, before we go in, I'd like to make one small addendum – NO fracas."

Cassandra said, as she translated, "Uh… Did you say "Do not fail"?"

Scarlet glared at her, as Cassandra gulped, "Si, señora."

They stepped out of the van, as Scarlet appeared to the security guard. She flashed her badge and said, "Excuse me… I'm with these people – agents of my faction, Alliance Across the World."

The guard stepped aside, as they all went in. Scarlet went forward, leading the way, as a few of the men in black suits spotted the others. They approached them, as one guard called out, "Excuse me, ma'am, you don't have clearance to this-!"

Scarlet glared at him, and then huffed, "Yes, I do. Now, please move."

They stepped back, as Steven turned to the guards, "I'd not go near her, when she's furious."

Scarlet approached the front desk, as Scarlet said, "Where's Triple H? I'd like to see him, immediately."

The secretary said, "Oh, he's in a meeting, ma'am. But he wishes not to be disturbed… especially AAW men, like them."

Scarlet asked, "Excuse me?"

The secretary said, "Well, not to be rude, but… Mr. Levesque has banned you from the premises, along with your fellow AAW agents…"

Scarlet smirked, as she then said, "Right. So be it, then…"

SMASH!
She smashed the front desk, turning it into debris, with her fists. She then hissed, "You fail to comply… we'll thrash his workplace, without stopping."

Steven smirked, as Farra & Mundy cried, "FOR REAL?"

Cassandra asked, "Que?"

Scarlet barked, "ALL OF YOU! This is an order! Destroy the lobby, on my signal!"

She grinned to the scared receptionist, "Now… I'm going to ask you, one final time… And if you do not let us in, you know what? Now, may we see Mr. Levesque, immediately?"

The receptionist sobbed, "He's… He's extremely busy… But I'll tell him you're here, so you may speak to him…"

Scarlet boasted, "YOU GOT TEN MINUTES! Ten minutes, OR ELSE!"

She bowed, "Thank you, ma'am."

She walked off, as Farra was confused, "Whoa… Whatever happened to "NO fracas"?"

Scarlet hissed, "Shut up."

Mundy added, "She's been that way, since."

Asahi asked, "Did we get a free pass? I'm scared of Scarlet would do, anyway…"

The receptionist rang in Triple H, as she spoke, "Uh… sir… Miss Riley of ICPO and others… they wish to see you, immediately."

Triple H called from the intercom, "AAW?! What could they want?"

"It's urgent."

"Fine. Give me five minutes… I have to finish up…"

The receptionist called, "Miss Riley, he'll be ready in five minutes."

Scarlet waved, "Thank you~!"

Asahi shivered, as Cassandra asked, "Why did you shiver?"

Asahi said, "I don't know… Either something is going on… or Scarlet scares me…"

Team A-Fist waited for Triple H to be finished. Of course, that's not the problem he's been suffering.

XXXXX

Meanwhile, Myu was concentrating, as she suddenly witnessed a horrifying future, featuring The Gang. Myu whispered, "You're… You're right… I sense their future… and it seems that they'll be bested by MIO… I cannot say, but bodies will be strewn, everywhere!"

Azusa gasped, "So… Could it be a repeat performance?"

Myu shivered, "I don't know…"

Azusa hugged her and said, "It's alright… Whatever the case, we're powerless to save them."

Budo replied, "Of course, if only The Gang could figure it out… The truth behind MIO's true power."

Myu explained, "Well… It's not pretty… MIO… She has… She has a… A Stand!"

She cried, "MIO has a combination of Jewel, Spirit Caller, and Stand, but it's still a Stand, combined with its powers!"

They gasped, as Myu trembled, "Forgive me… but it seems that… It seems that-."

Azusa asked, "Myu! Tell us! What is MIO's Stand? What is the secret to its power? MIO has a Stand! But what is it?"

Myu shivered, as she said, "MIO's Stand… is…"

BZZT!
Myu's head started to jerk and twitch, as she was malfunctioning. Azusa cried, "OH, NO!"

Budo yelled, "She's malfunctioning!"

Myu beeped, "MALFUNCTION! Malfunction! Malfunct-funct-funct-function! WARNING! Myu-Myu Unit corrupted! DANGER! DANGER! System reboot failure… Shutting down… HAU-HAU-HAU-HAU-HAU-HAU-HAU-HAUHAUHAUHAUHAUHAUHAUHAUHAUHAUHAUHAU!"

SPROING!
Her eyes went cross-eyed, and a spring popped out of her neck. She dropped to the table, and started to smoke from her body. Her huge breasts wiggled a bit, every twitch she made.

"Hau-hau… KZZT! Hau-hau… KZZT! Hau-hau… KZZT! Hau-hau…"

Azusa slammed her fist to the table, and she roared, "DAMN IT! We… We were so close!"

Budo replied, "A dead end… It seems we were close to finding out MIO's true power…"

He then realized, "Azusa… … …You don't think… Does Myu's future sight see… possibly… the end?"

Azusa shook her head and said, "I don't know… Maybe the horror was too much, she broke down. However, one hopes the future may change…"

He asked, "So, we're done here?"

Azusa sniffled, "For now… We have to repair Myu & Ricka… The Gang, on the other hand, there's nothing more to do… except pray. They're on their own, now."

She thought, as she looked up, "If only… If only… What they need is a miracle play… to prevent history from repeating itself…"

Azusa pray for hope, as Myu remains on the table, twitching and sparking from her body.

[Myu Momochi & Ricka Machiyuki: The Lovers – RETIRED]


Meanwhile, back in the desert, Team Nevins viewed a huge sun, in the dead of night.

"I don't think something like that is even possible!" Michelle griped, "How could this sun actually be a Stand?"

Peter said, "Remember the ship? I'll bet it's similar to that."

They all hopped off, as Michelle shouted, "QUICKLY! BEHIND THOSE ROCKS!"

They hid behind huge rocks, as Yamabuki called out, "How the hell can this sun be a Stand?"

Heather stated, "I knew we were being watched, but… I never expected the huge sun to be responsible… It's no wonder we never saw our stalker."

Yamabuki said, "At this rate, we'll die of the heat, from that Stand. NO! It's going to burn us, all day and all night, like rotisserie chicken!"

Michelle said, "Yeah. But the thing is… a sauna can dangerously raise your body's temperature, in minutes. I doubt it'll take that long to hold."

Yamabuki asked, "Okay, how do we fight this?"

She shrieked, "NO NINJA WAY! IT'S NOW 70 DEGREES CELSIUS (158 degrees Fahrenheit)! And to make matters worse, we can't tell if this thing's close to us or not!"

Heather said, "The sun's a dangerous star… Not anymore, there's a blanket… But it's past our ozone layer!"

Peter said, "Our only option is to take out the Stand User."

Michelle nodded, "Agreed. If we take the user out, the sun will go away. He has to be nearby. He is somewhere in this desert, and somehow he's been following us!"

Yamabuki asked, "Hang on! Big Guy said that it reminded us of the huge freighter ship, Strength the orangutan! But what if it's like Jet Black Haru, back in Pakistan? Maybe this guy has a Stand that he uses from far away!"

Michelle barked, "That's not the case, this time! A Weak Spirit Caller can be controlled from a distance! But this sun is too strong! The energy it's emitting is incredible! He has to be nearby!"

The heat intensifies, and the camels started to wobble. And then collapse from the heat.

"Hey! Check it out!" Peter called, "The camels are collapsing from exposure to the heat!"

Heather added, "And staying here won't help us! I'll use Ice Mistress to keep us cool! And to locate a safe area from here!"

She stated, "I'm only searching for the rough area. If I find something odd, our Stand User will be there."

Her Ice yeti, impervious to melting, headed upwards to the sun. At 100 meters, she gasped and cried out, "WHAT THE HELL?"

Chazz cried, "Something not right! Heather, have your Ice Empress come back!"

Yamabuki shouted, "THERE'S SOMETHING COMING RIGHT AT US!"

Heather prepared to fire, but the sun exploded out chunks of fiery rocks at the Spirit Caller. It struck down onto Ice Empress. Heather started to cry in pain. Michelle yelled, "NO! HEATHER!"

The rocks impaled onto the camel, killing it. It also punctured a huge hole in their water tanks, pouring out all the water.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH, YOU BASTARD!" Yamabuki used Ninja Chariot to deflect the molten sun rocks.

Peter and Chazz used Darkness Devil and Ojama Star, as Chazz called, "EVERYONE! We're busting a hole in the ground! So everyone, GET IN NOW!"

They punched a huge hole in the ground. Moments after that, they have produced a huge cave, enough to fit ten people. They went inside, into the shade, and avoided the sun's rays of deadly light. They all panted, as they were sweating. Heather, however, was also bleeding, after her Spirit Caller took a blow.

"You okay, Heather?" Michelle asked.

Heather nodded, "Yes, I am. I used my Ice attack to perform a shield… and prevented me from any major damage."

She whined, "But this damn heat… It's driving me insane!"

Yamabuki barked, "Did anyone notice that the sun attacked perfectly at us? It aimed right towards us. But that also means that he's here, attacking from somewhere near us! But where? WHERE IS HE?"

Michelle moaned, "Yamabuki, keep your voice down! If you keep shouting, the enemy will find us. Just sit tight and lay low… We might see what happens next."

She grabbed her canteen and took a swig of water. But she saw a huge hole in the canteen. She shrieked, "OHHHH, SHIIIIT!" and then threw the destroyed canteen out into the sands. The others were panting, as the heat was getting into them. They waited, waiting for the Stand User to show up. Michelle grew worried, "Damn it… If this keeps up, we'll end up like those camels, dried up and baked into fried corpses… Blasted desert heat… Where is that Stand User? This can't… go on… THINK, DAMN IT! It's time for this old timer to take the bull by the horns! But this isn't the most ideal spot! I can't even use Ty Ko Ky or Hermit Ghost! It's crucial that I get more information…"

She called to Peter, "Big Lad!"

He gave her the binoculars, and she began to look into the desert view, finding the Stand User.

SMASH!
But out of nowhere, the binoculars suddenly broke in half, by a stray molten rock.

"AAAAAAGH!" Michelle hollered, slamming her fists to the sand, "SON OF A BITCH! WHERE THE DEVIL ARE YOU? HOW ARE YOU WATCHING US? ARE YOU INVISIBLE OR SOMETHING? SHOW YOURSELF, YOU COWARD! DAMN!"

She panted, as the sun continued to grow. It increased its heat, for hours on end, as the others grew tired and sweaty, stricken with the heat. But then…

Heather started to laugh, as she was laughing hysterically. Michelle called, "Hey, Heather, you alright? What are you laughing about? Quit it! You're being so damn annoying! HEATHER!"

It was no use. Heather suddenly started to laugh from the heat. Peter started to laugh, too, as does Chazz, and then Yamabuki. They were still laughing from the desert heat. Michelle was shocked, as she was the only one not grown into the sun's deadly heat.

"OH, MY GOD, NO! They've all lost it!" She cried, as the others were laughing, "This damn heat has driven them all completely insane! I have my sanity, so what can I do?"

She grabbed Chazz's shoulder, "CHAZZ! Listen to me! When things are tough, you have to control your inner feelings! YOU HAVE TO CONTROL YOURSELF!"

But Heather stopped her and said, "D-D-Don't get the wrong idea, Michelle… But this isn't why we're laughing…"

She pointed at the rock and said, "See… Ha, ha, ha, ha… See that rock? It's large enough to hide behind, don't you agree?"

Michelle asked, "Wha?"

She viewed the rock, from far away, and then asked, "I don't follow you… What are you saying?"

Heather said, "Oh, you will. Now, take a look at the rock on the opposite side."

"Okay, the opposite side."

She saw a similar rock, but in a different angle. Heather stated that it's pretty much the same. She also explained, "The rock we're seeing is on the opposite side. The shadow is also reversed, which means…"

Yamabuki laughed, "YAH, HA, HA, HA, HA! It means… What a stupid old trick!"

Chazz composed himself and stepped out, "MOVE! Stay here, old hag."

He stepped out and picked up a rock. Chazz's Ojama Star held the rock and threw a huge fastball towards the rock. It flew off at about 200mph.

POW! SMASH!
"OUCH!"
It smashed a huge hole in the air. Michelle shrieked, "AH! HOW IS THERE A HOLE IN MIDAIR?"

Chazz huffed, "Good grief, old hag. You really are pathetic. I'll assume that the intense heat was too much for you… or else I'll find it very hard to believe that you're my ally."

The sky turned back to night, as Michelle asked, "Huh? It's gone!"

Heather smiled, "Since we defeated the enemy Stand, night has finally fallen… or, as you put it, night has returned."

Yamabuki said, "Whatever you sliced it, it's back to normality, again."

Peter asked, "Hold on, did that hole just say "Ouch", just now?"

Chazz barked at Michelle, "Just how long were you planning on hiding in that hole?"

Michelle pouted, "Oh, yeah… right…"

She crawled out, as does the others. Peter sighed, "Good grief… How long has it been, in this sun?"

They went to the hole in the air, and learned that it was just a mirror. Michelle looked at it and said, "Well, what do you know? It's a mirror – the oldest trick in the book."

Heather viewed a small man in black hair, wearing a denim jacket and pants, with a white shirt on, "And look at this. Check out this loser! He's built himself a small shack, complete with an air-conditioner."

Yamabuki smiled, "Man, I never knew he'd built himself a compact mobile shack, and tailed us all the way here. How creative."

Peter said, "He also has a tank of water. How about we take it off his hands? By that, I mean confiscate his water."

He went closer, as Yamabuki saw a cup and straw, "OOH! He has an icy drink~!"

She slurped the drink and Michelle was confused. She then stopped and asked, "Wait… Lemme understand all this… You mean… We've already defeated the Stand User? There's nothing else we can do? We don't even know this guy's name! …but somehow, we defeated this guy, and stopped his Stand, altogether?"

Heather nodded, "Correct. You hit the nail on the head."

CLACK!
Peter handcuffed the unconscious boy and said, "We'll let Cy-Bo-Div worry about Mr. Sunshine…"

[THE SUN – RETIRED (and apprehended)]

Chazz asked, "So, this is The Sun's Stand user… And I bet it's the card, The Sun."

Heather replied, "As does Farra's powers."

Peter said, as he placed a note on the unconscious boy, which said:
"Dear Cy-Bo-Div,
Special Delivery from AAW-New York. This guy wields The Sun Card, but his Stand is retired now.
Take care of him, behind bars.
Peter Giese, AAW-New York B-Squad
"

He explained, "This was the Sun Card's Stand. At first, he was pretty impressive, but after a while, this little guy sucked, when we figured him out, didn't we?"

Michelle sighed, "I guess so…"

Heather said, "Well, while Cy-Bo-Div will take this Sun and Fun Guy to Prison Island, how about we head to our next destination? The desert does get a little cold, at night."

Michelle barked, "HOLD YOUR HORSES! Traveling at night is dangerous! If we're not careful, we'll lose our way!"

Yamabuki giggled, "That's cool. And with that idiot out of the way, it'll be sweet dreams for all of us."

She sneezed, as the others laughed. They have just finished their time in the Arabian Desert, heading to their next destination.


Meanwhile, in Connecticut, Scarlet led her allies to where Triple H is located. Meanwhile, in a huge meeting room, a muscular man with a black business suit and a bushy beard, was sitting in the table, plotting his next attack. One man in a suit said to him, "Sir, the enemy is attacking the front, and about to block your entry. Apparently, they were annoyed by the outcome of SummerSlam. They've taken Zoot-Zoot Road, and advancing south to Stepford Hills. They are now reaching the northern shores of Rau and Pasnik, and they've already reached Virginia Falls, to the east."

Triple H said, "Yes… Samoa Joe will handle this mission. I have a good feeling about ending Seth Freaking Rollins."

Another man in a black suit said, "Sir… uh…"

Another in blue stated, "Joe… did not get enough men to destroy the Kingslayer. Rollins trounced them all… escaped with Dean Ambrose with the RAW Tag Team Titles, and smashing Sheamus's skull… … …with Dirty Deeds."

Triple H was shocked, as he was stunned, hearing the sudden news. He trembled, "Everyone, except the following people… please leave… Those who stay… Smith, Jones, Johnson, and Burger."

The four men in suits remained, as everyone else left the office. In a long silence, Triple H was annoyed. He then turned to his men and was livid beyond belief.

"THIS IS BULLSHIT! SETH FREAKING ROLLINS RUINED MY PLANS TO BRING THE AUTHORITY BACK! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, TO DARE DISOBEY AN ORDER I GAVE, ONLY TO FAIL ME, LIKE ALWAYS? THIS IS WHAT'S COME TO, NOW!"

His shouts were extremely loud, as they were muffled, to the point of everyone else hearing the ranting.

He continued to rant and rave, "WWE IS LYING TO ME! I DO WHAT'S BEST FOR BUSINESS, AND THESE JERKS IGNORE ME! NOT EVEN NXT! EVERYONE THAT PRAISES ME, I MADE NXT, THEY ABANDON ME, TURN ON ME, ONLY TO JOIN DANIEL BRYAN, THAT GOAT!"

Smith cried, "Mr. Levesque, you cannot insult your own employees!"

Triple H shouted, "THEY'RE LIKE ALL THE REST THAT SIDE ME! COWARDS! TRAITORS! AND FAILURES!"

Smith pleaded, "MR. LEVESQUE! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!"

Triple H barked, "If Daniel Bryan would've be a B-list star, and stay a jobber, THIS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING, RIGHT NOW!" and slams his pens to the map. He roared out, "THEY'RE ALL THE SAME! I sided with great factions, and fought against everyone else! I'm a WWE Legend, started in the Attitude Era, while you pencil cases were working for a corrupt politician! For years, I've done what's best for business, giving the undeserving punishment matches, and those merchants in AAW foil everything, and they hate me for it! What I should've done is fire Daniel Bryan, and feel better about myself, but the WWE Universe yells at me, saying they'll change channels to GFW!"

He sat down and explained, "I was trained by WWE Hall of Famer, the late great Killer Kowalski. I emulated his style, being the Cerebral Assassin… and yet, I help build D-Generation X, Evolution, the Corporation, The Authority, all by myself! But now… I HAVE BEEN SHUNNED AND HATED, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, BECAUSE ME, SHAWN, HALL, AND NASH DID ONE MISTAKE IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! The KLIQ died, when Hall and Nash left! But those who sided with me will pay! They will drown in their own blood, and pay with said blood, the same!"

Outside, a woman was crying, as her mother, a woman in a white gown, comforted her, "There, there… He's just having a bad day…"

Triple H was moping, as he was disappointed with himself, in a long silence. He paused and responded, "And this is why The Authority always wins… … …but under the circumstances now, this is a battle that I can never win… It's over."

The others were stunned, as a hush fell into the room. Triple H concluded, "The Authority is over… … …"

He added, "However, I will still be in WWE, supporting NXT, and the new wave of the company, with many new and familiar names…"

He bowed his head in sadness, and finished, "It's all I have left…"

He stepped out of the office, and made a slow saunter to the parking lot. Jones whispered, "Mr. Levesque didn't really mean to leave WWE and retire…"

He returned and said, "To all the men and women in my camp, who all support me… You're fired. All of you… Everything is lost… Hopelessly lost… I'm not being misogynistic… Only those who have supported me, for years on end, including the people that respect and praise me… I have nothing left… after what Rollins did to my wife…"

He walked away, leaving to his car, forlorn and completely shattered, emotionally. But as he stepped out the door, Scarlet was waiting for him, a bit upset.

"I didn't know…" she replied.

She, Steven, Farra, Asahi, Mundy, & Cassandra were in shock, as Triple H turned to them. He said, "You win, alright? I give up… You let my wife die, because of your sidetracked incompetence, I just can't do it, anymore…"

Farra growled, "You're better off, loser!"

Cassandra bowed, "Lo siento, señor."

Steven glared at him and said, "You know damn well we didn't let Stephanie die… Matt Hardy did that to us, only to go closer to MIO…"

Triple H asked, "Who's MIO?"

Scarlet said, "I'll handle this… Mr. Levesque… I have bad news about your wife…"


Scarlet tells Triple H everything about his wife, Stephanie, and why her corpse is now the property of the vampire, MIO. Feeling sorry for The King of Kings, Team A-Fist stays in Stamford, to address the bad news.
However, things take a turn for the worst, in the next episode…
