At the base of Strike Force, Cassandra was being introduced to by the 11 Sisters. Farra was greeting each of them to her.

"Cassie, I know their names are confusing, at first, but these girls are precious to me, almost as much as their original mother, Marciano."

"OH, I know… and they're all beautiful androids. How about working for me at Casa de Munecas, once this horror show is over?" Cassandra remarked, towards the 11 androids.

March said, "Moonlighting? Nah, forget it."

February added, "Besides, someone has to stay at the base, and work the magic."

Cassandra said, "Oh, my apologies… I forget combat androids are different to me, being one myself."

May huffed, "She's not an android."

Cassandra pouted, as Farra said, "Alright, girls. Before we can head off, and before this chapter even starts, let's introduce each other…"

She then started introducing, starting with the blonde android in black, "Cassie, the names are confusing, but… You'll understand. Meet my daughters. First, we have January."

January bowed, "It's an honor to meet you, Cassandra. Master Neilsen told us that you were coming."

"This girl in glasses, the one you met, that's February."

February smiled, "Great work, by the way."

"And the girl with pigtails, that's March."

March nodded, "Hello."

"You already know April, so this girl… is May."

May, a woman with silver spiky hair, winked, "Wassup, Cassie!"

"This is June…"

June, a tomboyish woman with a black suit and blue hair, nodded to her, and Farra continued, "This is July…"

July giggled, "Charmed, I'm sure."

"This little one's August."

August, a small girl in a top hat and blonde braids, said to her, "Hello, Cassie!"

Farra concluded, "And these are the triplets, October, November, and December."

Three little girls in matching tan dresses cheered to her, "HELLO!"

Cassandra was stunned, "Wow… Named after the Gregorian Calendar… Amazing. Huh?"

April asked, "What's wrong?"

Cassandra asked, "Which one of you is September? And which one is she?"

A long pause was made, but January responded, "We… We choose never to mention her."

The others were saddened, and some were calm about it. Cassandra asked, "Did I… hit a snag?"

January smiled, "No, it's alright. It's just… Well…"

April said, "September was our sister, too. But…"

"OH! Is she being repaired, as we speak?"

April paused, and then said, "She's dead."

Cassandra was stunned, as Farra stated, "These girls went through a lot of grief, over Madame Marciano AND September. We chose to never speak of this matter."

"Why? What happened to September?" Cassandra asked. But Farra stopped her and said, "No… Don't ask her that."

"Ask who that?"

January walked off, as the rest stayed behind. January was upset, as she knew September, as did the rest. Cassandra whispered, "Wow… January knew September…" She replied, "I'm sorry…"

February smiled, "I'm sure it's nothing. We do miss Sep, after all."

April added, "January misses her, the most. But we chose never to speak Sep's name again."

Cassandra bowed, "Then, my condolences… And I'm sorry I brought her name up. I do wish that she'd come back."

The triplets approached her, in smiles. October smiled, "Come on! Let's go play!"

November cheered, "We got a big sister for a partner!"

December yelled, "HEY, QUIT PULLING!"

The triplets cheered on, wanting to play, but Cassandra sighed in disdain. She thought, "Miserable to cheerful in seconds." She called, "Okay, that's enough, ninos, I have to be going." The triplets sobbed, "Awwwwww…" Cassandra smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be back. It's nice to meet some good friends… especially reformed androids from the Criminal Guild."

April said, "Of course. And Mother?"

"Yes?"

"Give us a call, if we're available. If not, contact MEA for our assistance. Strike Force is contacted by MEA."

Farra nodded, "Gotcha. You girls take care. And I'll see you soon."

Cassandra whispered, "Also, if you can… Tell January that I'm sorry."

April nodded, "We'll tell her. I'm sure January will accept your apology."

They departed, as the others waved goodbye. January was far away, as she held her guns in each hand. She was in sadness, but then changed to an emotionless malice. "Mister…"

Episode 1 - Chapter 2: Fort Rawls Prison!
Jailbreak!

In the elevator, Farra and Cassandra were going down. Cassandra asked, "I never asked… You mentioned MEA. Do you know who they are?"

Farra nodded, "I do. But I cannot mention it to you, yet."

"Why not?"

"Because…" She paused, "Well, we'll meet them, soon enough. One of our MEA Agents came to the base, yesterday."

"Aw, I missed it!"

"That's alright. Besides, when we get the chance, we'll be sure to arrive at Fort Rawls."

"Maybe meet the MEA Agents you guys talked about?"

"Could be. Thing is, I've never met an MEA Agent, in-person. Anyways, the others should be there. We'll take flight from here to Fort Rawls."

"My estimation… That's about 500 miles from New York to-."

XXXXX

"NORTH CAROLINA!" Steven cheered, as the rest of The Gang were in the BattleVan (flight mode), flying to Fort Rawls in NC. He continued, "Ha-haaaa! Man, that felt so good!"

Scarlet huffed, "And why did you act like a rowdy fan boy?" She was sitting in front with Mundy, who was driving.

"Sorry, just wanted to get back to my glory days… before I get in the zone." Steven said.

Peter replied, "Yeah, that did remind us of our former selves."

Asahi smiled, "I'm amazed that you are still you, Steven. A lot of us have changed, since East Townsend."

Mundy said, "Not to me, mates. We met in Imperial Lobby, and I was looking out for Scarlet. Not to mention that you guys are reckless to the bitter end."

Asahi nodded, "Maybe so, but each of us have had a share of victory. We saved the world, dozens of times."

Mizuki said, "Of course. We fought aliens, demons, demigods, vampires, androids, even serial killers."

Mundy said, "Don't forget Stand Users. That's important."

Asahi paused and was silent, as Peter said, "And let's not forget that traitor, Steven Nevins. Glad his ass has been in jail, for quite a while."

Scarlet remarked, "You're right. Maybe he needs to do a little thinking, anyways."

Steven barked, "And Steven Cooke will be there, again, if he tries again. I'm the one that beat him, remember?"

Scarlet smiled, "Of course. Your act of bravado and skill was proven the better Steven. Osky, I know you didn't know it, but-."

"That's alright. But still, whatever new enemy awaits us, we'll take it on… only who?"

They were unsure, as he started to explain that they had no one to challenge them. "I mean, after MIO and Otome Saotome, what's next? There's no one left to challenge us."

Scarlet huffed, "Maybe the traitors in the World Government? I got a call from the Strike Force, earlier. Hunter Bennent wants my head. Cassandroid took care of that bastard."

Asahi asked, "Eh? Cassie did that?"

Scarlet smiled, "She had help. Now, don't you think you should be nicer to Cassandra, after your debacle with her, the other night?"

Peter stated, "You had a hand in it, too, Boss!"

Mizuki said, "And he made a good point. The only ones that treated her nice… were Mundy, Asahi, Steven, and Farra. Mundy removed her glasses, because you can't sleep with them on. Asahi wants alone time, but is self-aware of Cassandra waking up at some point. Steven brushed up her hair, avoiding bed hair, and Farra adjusted her bra, after…" She beeped, "Error! Capacity in thought at limit."

Scarlet huffed, "Did she ever get fixed yet?"

Peter remarked, "Nope. I think the Power Core inside her somehow jumbled her cybernetics."

Mizuki held herself, as Asahi nodded, "She made a strong point. About everything. Besides, the seven of us are cramped in one apartment. We should split into two."

Scarlet barked, "AND SPEND TWICE THE RENT?" She paused and said, "Well, the money I earn is high, but places have closed down a lot… Might as well. But you're pitching in, as well. I'll spend half of each, you spend the rest. Now shut up about the android! Let's talk about the mission."

Peter said, as Mizuki showed a holographic image of Fort Rawls, "Right. Fort Rawls, as you said, is a minimum security prison. Reports indicated that a jailbreak is planned for tonight at 9pm. One of the prisoners spilled the beans about it, only to the guard. After that, sentenced to The Hole… and forwarded the message to us."

Mizuki replied, "The prisoners are led by Happy Harry Hooligan, a convict that was sent up the river, for shoplifting and social media trolling, with toxic comments. Hooligan's serving a 20-year sentence."

Peter stated, "Our main goal is to stop the jailbreak from happening. If at least one convict escapes, we fail."

Scarlet nodded, "Right. But that also means we hunt down the escaped convict. Just ask Malory Archer. She redeemed her mistakes, and retired to a tropical island."

Mundy nodded, "Glad Sterling got the message. Shame that he and his team left AAW, to form their own agency."

Scarlet smiled, "They'll be back. They did have a contract with me, Percival Gaynes, and their new benefactor. Shame that IIA folded, after the evil plan with fossil fuel was exposed."

The BattleVan touched down, as Farra and Cassandra were far away. Cassandra called, "There's the van!"

Farra was with wings, as Cassandra was on top of her. She called out, "Alright, hang on. I'm gonna touch down where they land. Hang tight!" She flew down and called out, "Incoming!"

The BattleVan parked outside the gate. Everyone stepped out, as Farra & Cassandra arrived. Cassandra breathed heavily, kneeled down, knowing her ride ended. Scarlet asked, "What took you so long?"

Farra bowed, "Sorry, Boss. I had Cassandra meet my daughters."

"This is new to me. You have kids?"

"Son and a daughter. The other daughters I have were adopted."

"I had no idea. You should lemme meet them."

"You will." Farra walked past Scarlet and met with the rest. Scarlet turned to Cassandra, as she scoffed, "Baby."

"Shut up! I had to ride a jet, and you know I never drive a stick!" Cassandra argued.

Scarlet smirked, "What was that?"

"I mean… I never learned to drive stick… but I did-." She paused, "Ohhhhh, you're a bitch, you know that?" Cassandra marched off, as Scarlet snickered, "Almost had her."

Steven said, "Alright, Gang. We're at Fort Rawls. Once Scarlet gives us clearance, we should begin the mission."

Mizuki said, "Right. Hopefully, this is better than Prison Island. At least it needs protection."

They entered the gate, as Scarlet led the way. As they were walking, two guards walked past them, without looking back. Scarlet sensed it, but then shook her head.

Mundy asked, "Something wrong, love?"

Scarlet said, "No, not really."

XXXXX

The warden spoke with Scarlet Riley, as the rest waited outside. He said to her, "I'm glad you got our message, Miss Riley. We have been in need of experienced help, since not long ago."

"You mean the Prison Island jailbreak?"

"After that. By now you are aware of your agents' role in the Sketch Artist Killer case AND the Hope's Peak drama. Weeks ago, before the recent news of a drug cartel reemerging in Italy, Happy Harry Hooligan was the #1 Top Criminal, moments before this Otome Saotome was #1. However, a lot has changed, and criminals wanted to haunt the cities, in their own way. Sadly, no one stepped up, as Hooligan was the top villain in the group. Sadly, he was lynched, time and time again."

"I see… And this time, he has a plan that cannot fail?"

"Correct. I require The Gang to become bodyguards for this shift, later at 7pm. I was to contact top agencies like IIA or Feral Beauty, but they insist on you, since the danger level to Fort Rawls is yellow."

"Well, we've had an experience in battle, before. We can make you believe that we're NOT who you think we are. We've had a bizarre track record; something you wouldn't believe."

The warden gave Scarlet the picture and said, "This is Harry?"

"Harry Hooligan." A picture showed a mean-looking man in a prison tracksuit and with a skinhead. "He's been wanting to win back his #1 spot, being the baddest criminal, but it seems that someone held him back."

"And now that Saotome's dead, Hooligan will do what he can to win it back. Even form a group of prisoners to break out and cause chaos. Sir, we'll take our chances, and fight back against this mob. But the minute we are losing, we'll summon our secret weapon."

They shaked hands and agreed. Scarlet and The Gang got the job.

One prisoner in a mohawk roared, "WHAT? YOU'RE guarding us? That's bullshit!"

Another in black hair shouted, "We don't even know of Harry Hooligan!"

The rest of The Gang was sorting out the prisoners. They explained that, from 7pm and onwards, they're watching all sides of the prison.

Asahi called, "Please, everyone, I know it's under protest, but… We're trying to end this chaos."

Peter called, "Listen up! I want you to enjoy yourselves, for the rest of the night. No problems, whatsoever. But…"

Farra said, "The minute you orange-coated orges try to break out, we're after your ass."

The third prisoner yelled, "THAT'S FUCKED UP, LADY! AGAINST YOU PRICKS?"

A fourth prisoner cried, "You're monsters of the alternate worlds!"

And the outcries began:
"Monsters!"
"Weirdoes!"
"You can't control us!"
"THIS IS INJUSTICE TO US!"

Steven approached the mob and said, "Hey!"

They stopped, as Steven said, "Who here says that it's injustice?"

A male prisoner in spiky purple hair said, "I did!"

"Approach me."

The prisoner slithered towards Steven, as he glared at him, "What's your name?"

"Prisoner #455, Mugsy the Brash!"

"#455? Hear you got in trouble with murder in Texas. 25 deaths, by a knife."

"Yeah, I did! Life sentence! But they can't keep me here! It was self-defense! I'm innocent!"

Cassandra said, "Murder is murder, amigo. Life in prison, that's bad. Fate worse than death."

Mugsy yelled, "Says you, screw! No one does Mugsy the Brash in, and says I deserve it! I can lick any of you assholes, only to break free of this hellhole!"

Steven said, "Gang, this is mine…" The rest stepped back, as Steven crossed his arms and said, "Alright… I'll tell you what. Try and go past me. I won't flinch or move. But I will grant you freedom, if you do not cooperate. Stay… or go…"

Everyone was nervous, as Mugsy snickered, "HAH! You think that's easy? I can walk right past you? You're an idiot!"

Mugsy walked past Steven, but stopped, realizing something. "Say, wait a minute… Is this a trick? How do I know your assclowns won't tackle me down?"

Steven said nothing, as he was standing in place. He gave his word, with a nod. And then Mugsy snickered, "Hehehehehehehehehehe! Well, thanks for understanding! I'm a free man, assholes! LATER!"

He dashed off, but after the first step…

"HOKUTO! The World!"
Time suddenly stopped in a flash. Mugsy took a second step and gasped, "Eh? What are you screaming ab-?"

GSSSSSSSSSSSSH!
His arms suddenly expand like balloons. He cried out, as he was bulging and turning red, "NYAAAAAAGH! WHAT DIDIDIDIDIDIDIDIDI-! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH-!"

KABOOM!
Mugsy the Brash exploded into nothing. And Steven Cooke didn't even touch him.

"HOLY DOODY!" Mundy cried, as the rest watched. Cassandra was frightened, "No way… HE KILLED HIM!" Peter & Farra snickered.

Steven said to the terrified prisoners, "Now… Are you going to escape? Or are you going to stay in your cells?"

The prisoners were shaken, as they agreed to Steven's demonic glare, which was stoic. The guards cleaned up Mugsy's corpse, as Mizuki was shaken, "Whoa… That's Hokuto Shinken? This is the first time I've seen it, up-close."

Mundy shivered, "Bloody hell, he's a monster."

Cassandra sobbed, "No way… He didn't even flinch. This is how Steven Cooke wins, whenever he confronts the evil thugs of Earth."

Peter smiled, "Show-off. I can do better."

Asahi stated, "Let's not and say we did."

Farra nodded, "I think I know how. Our battle with MIO, Steven Cooke got The World, from Steven Nevins. He can stop time, too."

Mizuki said, "That would explain why he chose to stay put, letting Mugsy flee for no good reason. Life in prison also means death."

Peter said, "Not really, unless you get a pardon."

Steven said, "All return to your cells at 7. Lockdown's at 8. And one more thing… If Happy Harry Hooligan is with any of you, I suggest you stay away from him… unless you want to make the same mistake as Mugsy the Puddle did."

The prisoners agreed, as Mizuki whispered, "What is this, a Scared Straight Program?"

Cassandra shivered, "He's already scared me…" Farra comforted her.

Scarlet nodded, "Good. Order there must be." She walked off, as Farra met with Scarlet. "Hey, Boss, you got a second?"

"Is this about Strike Force?"

"Yes. This Hunter Bennent is eliminated. He says that he hasn't forgotten, and had betrayed the World Government."

"I see… So, you have any clue who made him betray his own kind?"

"Matt Hardy. I believe that name rang a bell."

"Yeah? Matt Hardy manipulated him to betray the World Government?"

"Well, Hunter used to be with the Criminal Guild, before it disbanded."

"No kidding."

"Yes." Farra said, as she crossed her arms, "Luckily, if any trouble goes awry, you may enjoy my Strike Force soldiers."

Scarlet smiled, "Of course. Who did you pick to assist us?"

"You'll see. Wait until 9 or 10."

"Got it. So, you think Matt Hardy is responsible?"

Farra explained, "Yeah, this comes as a shock, but… Matt wasn't broken at all, maybe as a persona." She showed a magazine for a Business Company, and it had Matt Hardy, wearing a gray suit and with his black hair slicked up and done in a ponytail.

"Matt?"

"From what I gather, he does a business called Hardy Family Office. Once we're done here, maybe you can find closure with this asshole that started everything… including giving you your powers."

Scarlet nodded, "Right. I was to leave you with these muscle-headed fuckers, but I needed to blow some steam." She took the magazine and said, "Agent Stevens, thanks for the information. I know what must be done. Gimme time to prepare, after we finish this."

"Understood." Farra bowed, as Scarlet looked at the cover, walking off. She then smirked, as she snarled, "At last… It's time for Broken Matt… to be deleted."

She chucked the magazine into a trashcan and cackled quietly. She's close to finally getting her hands on the man that made her into a powerful deity.

At 8pm, The Gang was monitoring the entire area, as the prisoners were quietly in their cells. Steven was guarding the main prison door, as Peter, Mundy, Asahi, and Farra were watching each side of the walls. Peter was in the North Wall, Asahi was in the South Wall, Mundy was in the West Wall, and Farra was in the East Wall. Cassandra and Mizuki were indoors, monitoring the security cameras.

"So far, so good." Mizuki responded, wearing a headphone earpiece, "Gang, how is your perimeter?"

(Peter): No disturbances in North side. See no clear sighting, but I do see clear starry sky.

(Farra): East area, no disturbances. All I saw is a deer trotting off in the forest.

(Asahi): West area, I only saw a few people running around the fields. But no hostile readings. I think they might be drunk.

(Mundy): South area reporting, no disturbances, except for some owls.

Mizuki nodded, "Good. One hour before Happy Harry Hooligan arrives to ruin the fun."

Cassandra said, "I hope not. The prisoners learned their lesson."

The Gang continued to watch, as Harry Hooligan was in his cell, holding a shiv. He smirked, as he said, "I'm not afraid. No one can intimidate the #1 criminal in the AUs, Happy Harry Hooligan."

He then made a quiet bang on the cells, as some of the prisoners nodded, knowing that the jailbreak would go as planned.

Harry smirked, "Good… Now that the jailbreak will go as planned, we wait until 9. It's already lockdown…"

He picked up a rat and put a small device on the back of the rat and whispered, "Now… Go to the control room."

The rat trotted off, as Shion was watching on, from across the hall. She whispered, "Happy Harry?"

"Who said that?"

"Me…" Shion was sitting on the floor, looking at him, "You're planning on breaking out? The Gang are worthy competitors, especially since you are easily savage and bold. But very good… I look to see how you fair against The Gang…"

"Who the hell do you think you are, bitch?"

Shion responded, "I happen to know The Gang, from my Lord MIO. Now I hear that they ended my master… and then they have eliminated despair. That's very bad. Very bad, indeed. I can tell, because the bitch, Asahi Sakurai… assaulted me, just when my powers turned her into hate. But I miscalculated."

"Oh? How do you plan on escaping?"

Shion huffed, "You'll see. One day, I'm going to end The Gang, by myself, if I have to. YOU and I… we could make a great team. If you help me escape, and somehow survive, you can join me in my private shack."

She whispered her address to Harry, as Harry nodded, "Right." He wrote the address and said, "You're smart, babe. When we get out, we get hitched, get married, and become lovers."

Shion smirked, "I like that… Help me break out, then we get revenge on all that lock us up."

"You're good, chick. Say… You have a name?"

"I go by the name… Shion."

Shion Sonozaki - the surviving member of Steven Nevins' Hired Egyptian Gods. Her Stand is Sethan, God of Storms and Violence. Years ago, Shion fought and abducted Yamabuki Suou, trapping her in her dark dimension. She also nabbed Chazz and Asahi, turning them into opposite of their true selves, by the power of Shion's Stand. However, Asahi Sakurai turned into a mean hated bully, but her heart of justice remained, and attacked Shion, resulting in her and Chazz Princeton, Asahi's boyfriend, to finish the job, sending Shion to Prison Island, via air mail. Months passed, and due to the safety of other prisoners, Shion was transferred to Fort Rawls Prison, and remained in her cell for the next 10 years, which Sonozaki was sentenced to, after she was captured and delivered.

"You don't know how long I waited for my revenge, The Gang… Even you, Asahi Sakurai… The woman that bashed my face in, because you didn't attack your boyfriend, after I had you in my power…" Shion thought, as she was enraged, "For five years… FIVE GODDAMNED LONG YEARS! You put me away! You made me suffer, and because of you and your rat asses of friends, MIO is dead… and Lord Nevins is in jail. AND I'M STUCK HERE IN THIS SHITHOLE! That kind of heroism makes me sick! Five years ago, I ruled the land, making people suffer! And what happened? I was bested! Outsmarted! AND EXILED! And why? Because I was defeated by a lucky bitch? I lost to a hero that stopped a serial killer, and she started her a career as a fucking pop idol?!"

She stood up and stared at a poster of Asahi Sakurai, with a knife stabbed onto her chest, and red marker scrawled onto her face and body. "Asahi Sakurai… That damnable name that thwarted Sethan's Stand power… She was under my control, but her heart aimed at me! AND WHY? Because she knows the truth? Because she's of good heart, like the rest of these fuckers? Five years in darkness! BUT NOT ANYMORE! FIVE GODDAMNED YEARS! NOW… REVENGE IS MINE! The Gang act as heroes now… but five years later, it's my time for revenge! The time has come…" Her aura brimmed, and her Stand emerged, "It's time for the return… of Sethan." She tore the poster down in anger and snarled, as her Stand emerged.

Shion waited five years for one thing… revenge.

To be continued…
