Here's part 2
And the characters of dragonstorm676 will be there since he asked nicely to me.
Also, the Parasita Mind Bugs are like the Control Bugs from Starship Troopers 2, where they have earwig like pincers on their abdomen, and they're the size of tarantulas when inside the host. Also, I posted Molly on the my deviantart.
Chapter 20: School Madness Part 2
On the next day, the gang were at their next class. They were in music class as they choose their instruments. Mike was playing the piano, Jay is plays the guitar, Alex plays the harp while Sofia plays the cello. Yunna plays the violin while the rest have the same classical instruments and the kids are in the choir with the other kid students along with teen students. They play mockingbird song, the students and kids. And the conductor is none other than Molly. Molly was keeping an eye on the musical students and making sure that everything is perfect. They played perfectly, but the D-Squad and Yunna were still weary about their classmates, especially Tod, who was playing timpani drums. After music class, they all headed towards their next class was Math class for the kids and the teens were in Home Economics.
The kids were divided into groups. Luckily, for kids, they were in the same group. They worked together to answer the math equation that were written on the board, but the rest of the group, were doing it differently. Instead of working together, they just answer all by themselves, without asking for help. The kids were getting scared and nervous, they just hope Dark could bring back up soon.
When class was over, it was time for lunch, the meal is roast chicken and steam corn with butter. The kids ate with the teens, they were still nervous and wary about their classmates. Not sure what to do, but they have to wait until Dark gets back. When Val left her seat to refill her glass of water, but stopped when Molly was there, looking at Val suspiciously.
"Well, hello Ms. Grady." Molly spoke a bit coldly as she looks at Val suspiciously.
Val backs away a bit. "H-Hello...i-is there something wrong Ms. Webster?" Val stuttered.
Molly looks Val closely, her eyes narrowed as she bore a hole right through her soul. Val looks at her fearfully as Molly looks at Val. "I always wonder, how can a little girl like you was able to succeed all the advance levels of this school."
"B-Because I studied hard?" Val answered.
Molly lets out a cold chuckle that scares Val even more. "That could be the answer, but you, you are more different from the rest of the children of the world. Why is that?" Molly asked coldly.
Val was getting scared when Molly was getting closer to her. But before Molly could do anything, they heard someone clearing his throat. They turn to see Jay standing a few feet from them. He was glaring at Molly dangerously, telling her to back off.
"Val, it's time to go to your next class." Jay said, while glaring at Molly.
Val quickly rushes to Jay and hide behind his legs. Jay pats Val's head and glares at Molly. "I thinks it's time for us to head to our classes, don't you agree?"
Molly glares at him before walking away, leaving a scared Val and a glaring Jay. Val just hope that Dark gets back with back up soon. Because they need help to find out what's wrong with this school.
The city of New York, the city that never sleeps, people were doing daily jobs. It was calm at first, until there was an explosion on a nearby bank. Two robbers got on their escape vehicle, with another robber inside, with four bags on money, left the scene. Police cars were given the robbers a chase. Gunfire were being heard and many people and vehicles were avoiding the gunshot. Zipping through the building with webs was your friendly neighborhood Spider-man. Spider-man was chasing the get away car towards the street in the middle of the night. He passed the big screen of John Jonah Jameson, who was telling everyone in New York that Spider-man is a 'menace'. He finds it annoying but that's Jameson wants, a story (even though it's a lie). The get away car turned to a tight corner of a dark ally. The police blocked the ally's only entrance, they pointed their guns and yelled to come out. Spider-man stayed on top of a building, close to the scene, and ready to help.
"It looks like they might need back up." Spider-man said to himself.
But something happened that surprised and shocked everyone. They heard something, like a rattle combined with a hissing of a snake and crocodile. They heard metal ripping and screams of men, before gunshots were heard. They saw flashes of light, indicating the gunshots. And soon, silence. Everyone became scared and nervous about this, but then the car was thrown off from the ally, and was covered by blue fire, as it hurtles towards the big screen were Jameson was rambling about Spider-man, and destroyed it by the burning car's explosion, canceling Jameson broadcast. Everyone became startled and scared by this, until they heard screaming. One of the robbers runs out of the ally, screaming terror. He was about to make his way to the police until black shadow tentacles appeared from the dark ally, and grabbed the robber, causing him to trip and fall. The tentacles dragged the screaming robber back to the shadows.
"HELP ME! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" The robber screamed as he was dragged back to the darkness, while screaming in terror.
Spider-man quickly jumps down the building and lands on the ground before firing a stream of web on the robber's arm, who grabbed it desperately. Spider-man pulls the robber from the shadowy hold.
"Hold on!" Spider-man ordered, struggling to pull the robber away from the hold. The policemen decided to help as they worked together to help spider-man to pull the screaming robber out of the shadows. Before the robber could be free, a black shadow claw appeared and grabbed the robber's head roughly. The robber scream in terror as the claw pulls him to the shadow. Spider-man and the policemen were trying their best to pull him out, but a black blade appeared from the ground, and cut the web in half. Spider-man and the policeman fell down as the screaming robber was pulled back to the shadow of the ally. The robber screamed was heard, followed by a horrific roar (it's the roar that matches the Kraken from Clash of Titans) that brought fear on everyone's soul. Spider-man was about to charge in, when the robber was thrown back, and Spider-man caught him. Spider-man puts him down gently. The robber was covered in bruises and his face was filled of shock and terror, he was shaken and whimpering in fear. Then they heard heels clicking from the shadow. Everyone looks at the source and saw someone coming out of the shadow. The figure is a tall teenage girl, she has blue skin, her dark blue eyes were floating on a her tar like scleras as black tears stains came down her eyes to her cheeks. Her outfit was a mixture of Punk and Gothic. Her long tar black hair sways to the cold wind as she looks at them wickedly. On both her sharp claw hands, she was holding the back of the shirts that belong to the two robbers. She tosses them to the policemen without problem, as they skidded in front of the officers, with bruises and terror in their faces. Everyone stared at the female in full shock and fear. She took them down without any problems, or injuries! The girl gave them a cold smirk as the policemen point their guns at her.
"FREEZE!" One of the Policemen yelled.
The teen didn't move, she just smirk at them coldly before she closes her eyes and slowly opens her mouth. And then she snaps open her eyes and releases a loud roar like shriek, that made everyone cover their ears. Her roar scream was heard from miles, shattering windows of buildings, cars, shops, even TV screens. Once she stops, the only thing anyone could hear were car alarms and the ringing in their ears. Everyone slowly recovers from their shock and fear, and the girl grins at them before jumping high to building and to another building, and disappearing to the darkness. Everyone was shock and terrified on their encounter, Spider-man has to inform Fury about his encounter. After everyone were able to recover from their shock, they took the robbers to a hospital with policemen watching them. Spider-man heads to the helicarrier and told everything to Fury about his encounter with the scary teen.
"I'm telling you, Fury. That freaky, scary, thing-girl, terrified, not just me, but the entire New York City!" Spider-man said.
"I know kid." Fury said.
Spider-man stared at him in surprise. "Wait, you know?" He asked.
Fury turns towards the window and looked at the starless night. "That girl you encounter has no name, but she appeared out of nowhere. She was first scene on the docks of San Francisco where she took down five different gangsters in just a minute." Fury explains. "Her origin is unknown and yet she was able to take down those gangsters without breaking a sweat."
"So...you're saying, she's terrifying?" Spider-man asked.
Fury sighs. "Yes, she's terrifying, and useful." He added as he turns to Spider-man. "Try to find that mysterious girl and convince her to join S.H.I.E.L.D. she can be valiant help on missions."
"And if she doesn't want to join?" Spider-man asked, raising a brow.
Fury walks away to his office. "That's your problem." He said, leaving Spider-man.
Spider-man sulks his arms down and sighs. "Why did I even ask?" Spider-man asked glumly.
When Spider-man left, he swings back home and entered without being notice. He was in his room and removed his mask. He turns on the light on and looks at his reflection before gasping in shock. Standing behind him was the scary girl. She glanced at him at his mirror before placing her hand on his shoulder. Then all around him, darkness consumes Spider-man, causing him to shield himself. Once it was over, Spider-man slowly open his eyes before gasping when he found himself on high building. It was the 3 Hudson Boulevard skyscraper. And he was on the top of the edge. He was about to step back when his spidey senses kicked in. He whirls around and fired his net web at the intruder, but he only hit was nothing but thin air.
"What th-"
"Boo!"
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
Spider-man screams when someone was behind him. He jumps out of the way and saw the scary girl, standing on the edge while the wing blew her long hair. The scary girl gave Spider-man a smirk as she gave him a salute.
"Hello~Spidey, surprise to see me?" The girl asked mockingly.
Spider-man was about to fire his webs again when suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning around, he faced with a motorcycle helmet. He quickly moves away and notices that the motorcycle helmet belong to someone. It was actually a girl wearing a motorcycle helmet. She wears all black with a hint of white. She looked at him under the visor.
"Spider-man, there is no need for that." She said calmly.
"Who are you two!? And why did you kidnapped me? Wait a minute-how did you know where I live?" Spider-man asked in shock, surprise, and a hint of anger.
The girl placed her hand on her chest and said. "My apologize, my name is Shadow Angel, and the girl who kidnapped you is my acquaintance, Dark Twilight." Shadow Angel gestured Dark Twilight, who appeared beside her. "We need your help."
"My help?" Spider-man asked, blinking on his mask. "What do you need my help?"
"There's a trouble in Ethereal Academy, and we need your help." Shadow Angel said.
"Wait, what? Why do you need my help? And what's wrong with Ethereal Academy?"
"Because it's overrun by alien parasites, controlling the school, and are being ruled by a crazy teacher and queen parasite." Dark Twilight explains plainly.
There was a dead silence. Spider-man couldn't believe on what he was hearing. The Ethereal Academy, the most exclusive and expensive school, was controlled by alien parasites. But Spider-man doesn't believe them, he thinks that they're messing his head.
"Yeah right, as if that school was being overrun by alien parasites." Spider-man said with his arms crossed.
Then Shadow Angel took out a holo-projector and shows him the holo videos of the students behavior. Spider-man's eyes widen in shock as he saw the video of the students acting strange and perfect. Once it was over, Spider-man couldn't help but stared at them in shock.
"W-What happened to them?"
"Like what Dark said, they're being controlled by alien parasites called Parasitas, and they need to be stop before they could take over the world." Shadow Angel said.
Spider-man rubbed his chin, thinking of a plan to help them, and once he got one. He looked at the two girls. "I will help you, but-"
"Oh great, he wants something in return." Dark Twilight said in annoyance. "What do you want, Spidey? Money? A new car? The key to the city? Or a girlfriend that will reject you."
"No, no, no, and hurtful!" Spider-man said the last part sad before becoming serious. "Look, I will help you on this mission, and in return, Dark Twilight has to join S.H.I.E.L.D. willingly without harming the agents or other heroes."
Dark lets out a scoff as she crosses her arms. "Ha! There is no way in hell I will join Sh-"
"Deal." Shadow Angel agreed, cutting of Dark Twilight.
Dark's eyes widen in rage as she turns to Shadow Angel with her arms spread. "WHAT?!" She exclaims, grabbing Shadow Angel's shoulder and dragging her away from Spider-man. Spider-man watched as they were far from him. They were on the other end of the building, Dark Twilight was arguing Shadow Angel about the deal, and Shadow Angel calmly tells her she should join. Dark Twilight said really angry words, but soon, Shadow Angel said something in Latin that electrocuted Dark Twilight slightly. Afterwards, Dark mutters lowly to her 'Damn you' before they turn back to Spider-man and walked over to him. Dark crosses her arms and glares at Spider-man, who mentally gulps in fear.
"Fine! I'll 'join' S.H.I.E.L.D. but! I am not gonna be bossed around by the guy with an eye-patch!" Dark Twilight said angrily.
"Uh...you mean Agent Nick Fury?" Spider-man asked.
"Whatever!" Dark said before turning to Shadow Angel. "Let 's go before the Parasitas take over that damn school!" Dark said angrily.
"Now that's taken care of, we should go, the others will meet us there." Shadow Angel said.
Then the three were teleported by an invisible jet before it took off to the school. Spider-man was shocked and amazed by the jet. Inside was filled with technology that was way too advance for humans, yet it looked awesome! Shadow Angel sits on the pilot seat while Dark Twilight leans on the wall. Spider-man looked at the window and notices that they were going in high speed.
"Hey Angi." Dark spoke.
Shadow Angel didn't turn around, but she did answer Dark. "Yes Dark?"
"Did you contact Z?" Dark asked.
"I did, she will meet us in the school ground, she has the ingredients that we need to free the students from their mind control." Shadow Angel answered. "But, she is bringing two of her friends. Turns out, they experience this type of situation before."
"Really?" Dark asked.
"Uhh...who's Z?" Spider-man asked.
"You'll meet her once we get to Ethereal Academy." Shadow Angel said as they jet flies towards their destination.
On deserted beach of Costa Rica, a group merpeople (mermiads and merman) were tied up on the beaches. They were afraid of the group of men, armed with sharp swords and blades. The mermaids were captured by them when they were migrating to warmer waters, but soon were ambush by these men are magical poachers, they capture rare magical beings and sell them off to Dark Shops. The Dark Shops are like human versions of Black Markets, selling illegal items that were forbidden in the Magical Law. And those poachers are trying to sell mermaids for their eyes and scales. The scales of a mermaid are like jewels, but the eyes are worth a fortune. The mermaids were terrified by the poachers as they were preparing to scale off the mermaids' scales.
But they didn't know two figures hidden in the shadows, waiting to strike.
The merchildren were weeping in fear. Their parents were comforting them, trying to keep them quiet as the poachers were ready to scale them. But before one could do anything, a black chain appeared from the shadow and grabbed one poacher by the neck, causing him to choke, before pulled him the darkness. The poachers were startled by this but soon draw their weapons, ready to attack. But before they could do anything, two black blurs were scene and took them down in a blink of an eye. The mermaids were shock to see the two black hours taking down the poachers, knocking them down or striking them. One poacher remains, the leader, he drew out his sword and summons a dark energy on his right hand. He mastered the dark arts and swords swordsmanship, he will not be defeated by these strange beings!
But before he could do anything, the two figure revealed themselves right in front of the leader. They were few feet but the leader knew who they are and his eyes widen in shock and fear.
The two figure are males, and they are the Corvus Twins or the magical beings call them, the Berserker Twins. The Corvus/Berserker Twins are the two best assassins. The brothers are named Xenthos and Keizer. Xenthos is one with white hair and Keizer is the one with black hair. The two brothers have deadly magic that was unknown, only few know about their magic. They serve the Queen of Magic, and are both loyal to her. And if she gives them a mission, they will do it and complete it. And their mission was to stop some poachers from harming mermaids.
"Everton Agmong, you have broken many laws of Magic World. And for that, you must be judged." Xenthos said coldly.
Agmong shook in fear, but held his ground. "You have to get me first! There's no way in Tartarus I will be hedge by the queen!" He yelled before turning into a cloud of smoke and tried to escape, but sadly, he didn't. Keizer turned into a snake like mist and tackled him back to solid state. Agmong crashed to the ground and Keizer turned into his solid form before slamming a foot on Agmong chest, causing him to yell in pain before glaring at Keizer, yet there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Sorry Agmong, but the Queen has her laws that make sure that the Magical World don't mess with the Human World." Keizer said mockingly with a smirk.
Before Agmong could do anything, Keizer took something from his pocket and blew purple sparkly dust at Agmong, causing him to feel sleepy and fell unconscious. Keizer turns to his brother and made a thumb up. Xenthos nodded before heading to the merpeople and took out his sword before cutting the ropes, freeing them from their binds. The mermaids were grateful and saying thank you to them. The Corvus Twins bring them back to the water, so they can return back to their migration rout.
"Go to your migration rout before the sunrise." Xenthos said to the merpeople. "And don't worry about the poachers, they'll be judge by the queen."
"Thank you again, we would've been lost." A mermaid said.
"It was out pleasure, have a safe migration." Xenthos said.
"We will and thank you." The mermaid said before she and the others dived in the ocean and swims towards the migration rout. Xenthos smiles as he turns towards his brother, who was tying the bandits with a magical rope that prevents them from activating their magics.
"Okay, now that's done, we should call in Mystic, they'll pick up these lawbreakers." Keizer said.
Mystic is a magical organization that prevents magical beings from being expose by humans. Mystic made sure that the humans never find out the magical beings. Otherwise, humans will start a war with them or experiment on the magical beings to know about immortality. That is why magical beings must stay hidden and follow the Magical Law. As the twins were about to take the poachers away, until they felt a magical aura. Turning towards the shadows, they saw a figure coming out. The two watched as the figure reveal itself to be none other than Zosia. The two lowered their guards and smiled as they went over to Zosia and soon hugged her, first was Xenthos and second was Keizer.
"Hello my friends, how are you?" Zosia asked kindly.
"Doing great, the queen gave us orders to do stop these idiots from harming the merpeople populations." Keizer pointed at the poachers with his thumb before looking at Zosia. "So, what brings you here?"
Zosia then became serious, which cause the twins to become worried. "I need your help. There is a problem in Ethereal Academy." She said.
"The fancy human boarding school? What happen to it?" Xenthos asked concern.
"A mad human made a deal with a being from space that is a threat to both humans and magical beings alike." Zosia said.
The twins looked at her seriously and nodded before placing their fists on their chests and bowed at Zosia. "We are here to help." They both said unison.
Zosia smiles at them kindly before summoning her golden staff. She taps once on the sand, causing a small spark, and sends the poachers to the Mystic Agency. She taps once again and sends her and the twins to the location they are needed.
Meanwhile, the D-Squad and Yunna were sleeping in their rooms. Sofia, being the only one who can walk to dream, should investigate to the Dream World and find out on what's going on. Sofia entered the Dream World without any problems as she searches for the one named Tod Fredrickson. Poppy was with her as they search together to find Tod's door. And they were lucky they found it.
"There it is Sof!" Poppy points at Tod's door.
"Great job Poppy." Sofia praised as she opens the door.
When Sofia was about to step in, she almost fallen to an abyss. Sofia yells in shock, but Poppy acted quickly and grabs the back collar of Sofia's shirt and pulls her back with all her pixie might.
"I'll save you!" Poppy yells, flapping her pixie wings with all her might as she pulls Sofia back to solid ground. The two panted in shock and fear as they look at the abyss of Tod's dream.
"What. Was. That?" Sofia panted out.
"I don't know." Poppy panted. "I've never seen this type of dream unless..."
"Unless what?" Sofia asked, a bit scared.
"Unless the dreamer is controlled." Poppy answered, looking at the abyss in fear.
Sofia looked at abyss carefully, thinking of a plan to get in without falling. She turns to Poppy for ideas. "Poppy, do you know how can I get in there without falling?"
Poppy gave her a giggle. "Silly Sofia! This is Dream World! Whatever you dream, it will come true!" She explains.
Poppy was right, Sofia can dream anything. So, Sofia closed her eyes and dreamt that she had pixie wings. It didn't take long when pair of pixie wings appeared on her back. They were green mixed with pink. When Sofia opens her eyes, she was amazed to see that she has pixie wings. Poppy was delighted that her friend has wings like her. And with that, the two entered Tod's dream room. The door closes behind them as they fly inside the endless abyss. Sofia and Poppy searches for Tod, but stopped when they saw something that made their eyes widen in shock. Inside the abyss were spiderwebs. They were everywhere and they appeared to be coming from the darkness.
"Poppy, stay close." Sofia said.
Poppy nodded and quickly clings on Sofia's hair as she flies closer to the webs. They were huge and thick, and maybe sticky. Sofia avoided them carefully, not wanting to be trapped on the webs. As she flies further, she saw something on the top of the webs, and it was moving. Curious and scared, Sofia flies up to the top and saw something covered by the webs. Sofia saw it moved and wasn't sure what to do, but she and Poppy heard a muffled cry of help in there. So, Sofia dreamed a sharp object, a knife to be exact. She carefully holds the knife and cuts the web. Once she did, someone came out and lets out gasps, which startled Sofia and Poppy.
It was Tod! And he looked terrified as he pants, he looks around in fear before noticing Sofia and soon became relief, as if he saw a savior.
"Oh thank God, a person!" Tod exclaims happily.
"Tod, are you okay?" Sofia asked.
Tod became surprise by this, "Wait, how did you know my name?" He asked.
"Um...it's me, Sofia, we were in science class." Sofia answered.
"What? But I wasn't in science class. I was trap here!" Tod said.
Sofia's eyes widen in shock, so he wasn't in control. Sofia looked at Tod and asked. "Tod, were you with Headmaster Fillmore?"
"Headmaster? You got it all wrong, it's Headmistress White, she's the one who owns this school and second; Fillmore, as in Richard Fillmore, he was fired a year ago."
"He was fired?!" Sofia exclaims in shock.
"And band, he was no longer allowed to go near Ethereal Academy after he abused a girl to get her grades perfect." Tod said. "And because of that, no school will accept him because of is abusive nature."
"Until he made a deal someone to make the students perfect." Sofia whispers. "Tod, do you remember what happened before you were here?"
Tod thinks about what happened and remembered something. "I do! I remember seeing a girl coming in my room. I was doing my homework while my roommate was playing his video game. She...she brought two creepy spider things and...and they jumped on us. And then...darkness." He explains.
"Molly." Sofia whispers the girl who attacked them. "The girl that attack you was named Molly Webster and she is not human."
"Is she mutant?" Tod asked a bit nervously.
"I don't know, but I think my friends and I believe she's something else." Sofia said.
Then suddenly, they heard a hissing. It sounds like a hissing cockroach mixed with a rattlesnake. Tod gasps when he saw something behind Sofia. Sofia saw this and turns around and gasps to see a alien like spider. It hissed at Sofia before squirting streams of web at her. Sofia yelps in shock and dodges the attack, and the web covered Tod a bit. The spider alien chased after Sofia and Poppy as it fires web balls at them. Sofia dodges the balls, she was trying to lure the alien spider away from Tod as Poppy secretly went towards the male and dreams a magical scissors to cut the webs off him.
"Don't worry! We'll free you!" Poppy said as she tries to free Tod.
"You better hurry! I don't think your friend can hold on." Tod said, looking at Sofia with worry.
Sofia avoids the alien spider attacks. She zips around as the alien spider chases her. Sofia avoids its webs and fangs as it chases her by using the webs as bridges. The alien spider was getting close Sofia and Sofia was getting scared. But she remembered what Poppy said, she can dream anything, and the dream is connected to the mind. Hoping it would work, Sofia turns to the alien spider and did the impossible. As the alien spider got close, sharp blades appeared from the darkness, stabbing the alien spider in multiple places. The alien spider froze as it twitches from the sharp blades. And the next thing Sofia knew, the spider alien went limp, green blood spilled from the blades as they sink to the darkness with the alien spider.
On Tod's room, Tod's body shakes a bit before he turns to the end of his bed and slowly pukes out the alien spider from his mouth. As the alien spider fall from Tod's mouth, and dies on the floor, leaving an unconscious Tod on his bed.
Once it was over, the webs started to disappear. Tod was free, but he fell to the abyss. Luckily for him, Sofia was able to grabbed him by the arms. She carefully puts him down to an invisible floor that she could see as he catches his breathe.
"Thanks." Tod said with a smile. "I could've been a goner."
"You're welcome." Sofia said. "Tod, what do you know about Fillmore."
"W-Well, when Fillmore was fired, everyone was happy that he was gone. He's been stressing every student to be perfect. And Headmistress White, couldn't stand the students from dropping out, so she fired Fillmore and we thought his time of teaching was over, but I guess I was wrong. Do you think Fillmore was the reason I'm here?"
"I think so, and you're not the only one, the other students are in mind control too."
"What?! We gotta do something! We should call the police o-or the Avengers!"
"Don't worry, help is on the way, but right now, you have to stay in character, you have to act 'perfect', so Fillmore won't be suspicious." She explains before looking around. "And I think the bug in you is now out of you. You have to wake up and hide it." Sofia said.
Tod looks at her and nodded in understanding. "Right, but can you try and save my roommate? His name is Sean Wong, if you can?"
"I'll try." Sofia said.
"Thank you." Tod said.
Sofia nodded before she and Poppy gets out of his dream and Tod slowly wakes up from his dream world.
Tod woke up from his sleep and slowly sat up. He looks around and notices that he was in his dorm room. He look to his left and notices something on the ground. Looking down, he saw the alien spider on the ground. Remembering what Sofia said, he got off his bed and kicks the alien spider under his bed and turns towards Sean. Sean is an Asian teen. He slept peacefully for a while before his body started to shake and he slowly turns to the edge of his bed and pukes out the alien spider that was dead. Sean woke up with a groan as he sits up and looked sick. He groggily looks up to see Tod and shook his head.
"Ugh...Tod, I had the weirdest dream that was trapped in this...webby world and there was this giant alien spider-AH!" Sean yelps when he saw the alien spider dead on the floor.
Tod quickly went over to his roommate and shushes him. "Shh! Sean, I know this strange, but you gotta to listen to me. The girl that save us was Sofia, she helped you and there are others that can save us and the entire school, but right now, we have to act perfect for a while."
Sean took a deep breathe before sighing as he nodded his head. "Okay, I'm calm, but explain to me more on what just happened?"
"Sure bud, and maybe we can help Sofia and her friends."
Meanwhile, Spider-man was on top a tree, eyeing on Ethereal Academy. He was at the courtyard, hidden on the trees, and can't be seen by cameras. Spider-man wants to know why Shadow Angel and Dark Twilight knows about the parasite creatures. And also, why does he feel that he met Shadow Angel before. He was lost in thought but soon was snapped out when an acorn was thrown at him.
"Ow!" Spider-man rubbed his head before looking down to see Dark. "What was that for?"
"To get your attention." Dark said casually before gesturing him to follow. "Come on, it's time to meet Z." She said as she walks towards the trees. Spider-man easily climbs down and follows her. They reach to a hidden clearing where the Shadow Angel was with an African woman and the two men that looked like twins.
Shadow Angel made the introductions. "Spider-man, this is Zosia and her teammates the Corvus Twins, Xenthos and Keizer."
"Um...nice to meet you...I guess." Spider-man said a bit nervously.
"You seem intimidated and scared, Peter Parker." Zosia spoke gently.
Spider-man's eyes widen in shock, how did she know his identity?!
"H-How...?"
"Your mind is open for those who can read through." Zosia said mysteriously with a smile.
Spider-man's eyes widen even more as he points at her. "A-Are you magic?" He asked.
"If she told you then we have to erase your memories for that." Keizer said jokingly.
"Wait! She can do that?" Spider-man asked them curiously.
"I would, but this is important." Zosia said seriously. "Peter Parker, do you vow not to tell anyone about me or the Corvus twins?"
Spider-man didn't know what to say, other than be amazed and somewhat scared, Spider-man believes that this a way of trusting one another. So, Spider-man took a deep breathe and outstretches his hand. "I accept."
And with that said, Zosia hold his hand and a magical glow came from it when contacting with Spider-man's hand. Once they let go, Spider-man looked at his hand and then to Zosia.
"You vowed not to say a word about us until the end of time." Zosia said to him. "But for those who wish to know, call upon me for assistance."
Spider-man blinks at her. "So...if anyone, that became suspicious, I can call you if they wanted need answers?"
"Yes." Zosia answered softly. "But now is not the time. We have to make the smoke that will release the students from the mind control."
"This reminds me of a time when we save a village by a sorcerer that tried to control them as puppets, but we saved them just a nick of time." Keizer said with a grin.
"Really?" Spider-man asked in awe. "How did you do it?"
"We used ourselves as a distraction and Boss took down the sorcerer by breaking his control from the villagers." Keizer said with a grin. "But that was a hundred years ago."
"Wait, hundred years ago!?" Spider-man almost yelled. "T-Then you three are-are-"
"Immortal? Yeah, kind of." Keizer said. "But we'll tell ya more after we save the students from this crazy teacher."
They all looked at Ethereal Academy, hoping that they could free the students from their bonds. Then they heard someone coming out from the bushes. They turned around and saw Soren coming out from the bushes with a bag on hand. Shadow Angel introduces Soren to Spider-man, who polity bows at him. Soren shows them what herbs or plants to use to make the smoke that can release the students from their control. The plants/herbs are the ones that spiders don't like. There's Basil, Chrysanthemum, Citronella, Lemon Balm, Lavender, and Peppermint.
"This herbs and plants resembles to the ones that my kin use to create the smoke. But, we must trap them in this school so that everyone can be free." Soren explains.
"Well, we better get to work then." Dark said as she and the others went to a secluded place, far from the school.
On the next day, Sofia told the others about her and Poppy's encounter. They understood and searched for Tod and Sean. Sofia and Poppy were able to free Sean from the control. Sean was at first scared and shock, but soon became happy when he was free. The D-Squad and Yunna had their breakfast and headed to their class. The teens went to their science class where they saw Sean and Tod sitting on their desk, pretending to be perfect. They secretly glance at them and nodded slightly before turning to the chalkboard. The teens went to their spot as they studied their lesson. Sean and Tod were trying their best to be perfect, but they would receive glances from the students. Soon, they were assign on group projects. Luckily, Sean and Tod were grouped with the D-Squad and Yunna. They and the kids did their best with their classes before it ended, and headed to their dorms. Sean and Tod were going with the D-Squad and Yunna to their dorm and worked together to figure out how to free the other students. When they got in the dorm and turned on the lights, they saw Dark Twilight sitting on the couch with a drink on her hand. Sean and Tad almost screamed but Jay wuickly covered their mouths, preventing them from causing attention.
"It's okay! She's with us!" Quinn said as Aggie quickly closes the door. As Jay lets go and heads towards the kitchen, the two males looked at Dark with shock looks on their faces.
"W-Who...wha-what is she?" Tod asked in shock.
"To make this short, my name is Dark Twilight, I'm demon, and I'm not here to kill anyone or cause trouble. I'm here because I disable the the cameras and placed them with illusions and the crew is here." Dark said as she points at the corner to reveal Spider-man, Shadow Angel, Soren, the Corvus Twins, and Zosia. The two males blinked at them as they looked at the new comers.
"Wow, Dark, we didn't know you brought more backup." Mike said.
"Yeah, but they can help." Dark said before looking at Tod and Sean. "Who are they?"
"This Tod and Sean, Sofia was able to free them with Poppy from their trapper mind." Val said as she sits next to Dark.
Zosia looks at Tod and Sean carefully, the two males were nervous about this, but Zosia turns towards Sofia with a smile. "Well done, Sofia, you were able to control your dream powers."
"I did, but I couldn't save the others, I ran out of energy on saving Sean."
"That is reasonable, it takes a lot of efforts to remove the Parasitas from the mind of the dream, but you are still learning. You were able to remove only two, but the are still more. That is why we need the smoke to remove them all." Soren explains.
"Hang on, what's going on first? Me and Tod are still have no idea what's going on." Sean said.
Dark sighs in annoyance and waves towards Soren. "You tell them."
Soren nodded and explains the two about the situation. He didn't add about Val being an alien or other important things, but the two males were able to understand and made also vows towards Zosia. After that, they made a plan to place the smoke on the school by using the air vents. But they need to capture Fillmore and put him to justice. And also, they need to find the missing teachers. So, they decided to split up to find them, but Dark knew where to look. So, Dark uses her magic to create illusions on the cameras, preventing Fillmore and Molly from finding out. They headed out to find the teachers, Sean and Tod wanted to help because they want to bring Fillmore to justice. And so, the gang follows Dark to where she might know where the teachers are.
"Dark, are you sure you know where you are going?" Quinn whispers as they walked through the dark halls with flashlights on hand.
"Yea, I've been scouting around the school and I found something interesting." Dark said as she leads them to the school basement. It was dark and creepy, yet there was something wrong with it. But that's not the creepy part, Dark shows them a secret lever that was wall lamp and bends it. It opens a secret passage way that shocked the gang. They carefully entered the passage way and gasps to see many greenish eggs. They could see larva spiders inside the eggs, yet they are still being develop. The scary part that there were millions of them and the room was filled with green gooey substance that has glowing algae. The gang were shock and terrified by this scene.
"Oh my God." Alex mutters in shock.
They all looked at the eggs and Val notices something. There were eggs bigger than the rest, her curiosity got the best of her as she came closer to the eggs. And once she did, she gasps to see the egg sacks have the teachers trapped in inside.
"Guys! Look!" Val points at the egg sacks.
Seeing this, the gang went over to the egg sacks and gasps to see the teachers inside. They were alive, but they were trapped inside. Xenthos took out his sword and carefully cuts one of the teachers free. It was woman about her mid twenties. She has brown hair and green eyes, and pale skin. She was messy with sticky goo, but she was alive. She slowly wakes up and saw the gang looking at her worriedly.
"Headmistress White, are you okay?" Sean asked worriedly.
"M-Mr. Wong? Mr. Fredrickson? W-What's going on?" She mutters before looking at the group. "And, who are they?"
"We'll explain everything to you Headmistress White, but right now, we need to free the others and stop Fillmore." Tod said.
"Fillmore?" Headmistress White mutters in confusion before gasping in realization. "Fillmore! He was the reason why I and the others were here!"
"Yeah, and we're gonna put him to justice." Damien said.
Xenthos, Keizer, and Dark Twilight free the other staff members from their sticky prison. Once they are free, the gang helped them on their feet. They have to escape from this place and locked all the doors and windows, so the smoke and kill the Parasitas. Spider-man helped a male teacher on his feet before looking at the exit.
"We have to leave, before-"
"Well, well, well, what do we have here." A cold girl voice said.
They all turn to a cliff and saw Molly standing on the edge, glaring down at them with Fillmore behind her. Dark, Xenthos, and Keizer brought out their weapons, ready to strike. Zosia narrows her eyes at Molly and Fillmore, she could feel darkness inside of them. The D-Squad, Spider-man, Soren, and Yunna shielded the teachers and two males, ready to protect them from the crazy spider girl and the teacher.
Molly glares down at them and then to Soren with hatred. "I should've known it was a Galatria doing this. And I suspect it much that you brought reinforcement." Molly spats.
"I see you know who I am, Moncastra." Soren said a bit hatefully. "For what you did in the past was not forgivable."
Molly or Moncastra glared at him. "I would still taken over the galaxies if it wasn't for your kin and those damn Yautjas! And I will make sure that the last heir will die!" She hissed and beard her fangs at Val. "And I'll make sure she has a painful death!"
Molly knew Val was the last heir, she could never forget those eyes that matches Esro's. That bastard of a king made an alliance with the greatest hunters of the entire galaxies, Yautjas. They massacred her army and her generals, ruining her plans to take over the galaxies. Soren came in front of Val, shielding her from Molly's view.
"I will never let you harm the princess." Soren said dangerously.
"Too bad." Molly spat before she releases a loud shriek. Everyone covered their ears while the rest holds through. Once she stopped, they heard something crawling towards them fast. They all turn towards the Molly as big spider drones came to them. The kids and staff became scared and nervous as everyone readied themselves.
Dark made a blank face. "Okay, this wrong, even for you, Fillmore." She said, looking at the teacher. "You're helping alien shebeast to take over to the world, all because of your wife's death and your daughter running off with a boy?"
"My wife was murdered by imperfect and disrespectful teen! And my daughter went off with a mongrel. I'll make sure this that this school will not just get perfect students, but the world will be perfect! Perfect adults, children, and everybody in this God damn planet will be perfect! There will be no imperfection in this world!" Fillmore exclaims.
Dark rolled her eyes at him. "You are one crazy bastard." She said to Fillmore before she looked over to Xenthos. "Please tell me you have a cell for crazy?" She mutters in annoyance.
"I believe so, and the humans called it a Mental Institution." He answered before glaring at Fillmore and Molly. "You two will not win."
Molly made a cold chuckle and smirks at them. "I already have." She said as she points at them, ordering her minions to attack.
The drones roared and charged at the group. The teachers and two students yelled in shock while the rest were in battle modes. Before the drones attack, the ground started to shake. Everyone froze from their spot, not knowing what's happening, until a plant monster/mutant burst out from the ground. It was Flora's giant form!
"FLORA?!" The D-Squad exclaims in shock.
"What is she doing here?" Alex almost screamed.
Flora's giant form summons massive vines and swat the the drones away from her friends. The drones crashed to the wall and almost hit Molly, but she took cover along with Fillmore. Molly got up and growl in anger, she was about to call out more drones when there was a loud roar that froze her and her drones. Jumping of Flora was Irelia, the Xenomorph/Human hybrid round-house kick on Molly's face, sending her crashing to Fillmore. Irelia lands down and roars at the drones, who slowly backs away from her.
"What's wrong with them? They look afraid." Quinn said, looking at the drones, backing away from Irelia.
"Irelia is part Xenomorph." Soren explains. "And Xenomorphs are the natural predators of the Parasitas."
Irelia roars at the Parasita drones before she charges at them and fights them off with incredible martial arts that she learn from watching Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee movies that Damien made her watch with him, and she learned from Vida. Irelia kicks, punched, and hits the Parasitas with her tail, and throwing them off the feet. The gang watched with wide eyes while Dark just grinned at her.
"Loving that girl." Dark said. Then they saw Celestia, Cuddles, Pluto, and Kirit sliding down behind Flora with IM (in his iguana form and who has Ted the Tarantula on his head) and Rocco. They went over to the others and check on them.
"Are you guys okay?" Celestia asked worriedly as she was picked up by Val. "Uh, no. How did you guys even get here?" Damien asked them. "I-" "Tell us about this later! Right now, we have to move!" Spider-man said.
"You heard Spider-boy! Irelia, Flora! Move out!" Dark ordered.
Hearing this, Irelia tosses the spider drone to its group and jumps off while Flora whacks the rest away before shrinking down to small size. IM secretly summons a flower pot and Mike took it quickly before scooping up Flora before they made a run towards the stairs. Molly was able to recover from the attack and gallerias at them as they made their getaway.
"AFTER THEM!" Molly ordered her minions.
Alien Spider drones and soldiers came out from the holes on the walls and chases after them. Dark stop near the entrance and turns back to see the drones and soldiers coming towards them. She glanced at the others, knowing that they won't make it, Dark looked at the incoming enemies before taking a deep breathe, bring dark energies to her, and releases a powerful stream of black fire. Dark's fire burned the drones and soldiers, along with the eggs. Molly lets a scream like shriek as she watched as her army and eggs were burned by Dark Twilight. Dark Twilight made sure that the whole room was in blaze, making sure every alien spiders and eggs were destroyed. Once she was done, Dark runs up stairs while sealing the entrance by a dark crystal. Fillmore and Molly run towards the secret entrance to the surface, but before they did, Molly sends a message to her mind controlled students.
"Kill them! Kill those bastards!"
Every mind controlled students heard their queen's call and searched the gang through the school. The gang were trying to find the exist but were surrounded by mind controlled students. They couldn't hurt them, but they did defend themselves. Alex created shields to protect the teachers, Sean, and Tod. Soren blew them away with his wind. Spider-man uses his webs to trapped the students on the walls or the floor. The rest used defensive martial arts at the students. Yunna was more skilled then the rest. She flips and kicks the mind control students away with her skilled martial arts as they made a run towards the cafeteria. They quickly locked the doors and barricaded them. They went outside in full speed while Xenthos and Keizer barricaded the doors. Zosia uses her magic to lock all the doors and windows by using a powerful barrier spell. As they were out, the gang panted, trying to catch their breathe.
"We have to create the smoke now!" Dark yelled.
"Already on it." Xenthos said before turning to the school. "NOW!" He yelled.
Unknown to the rest, Vida and Devlin were there with some Venandi hunters were there. They were near the vents of the school with the smoke bombs that are filled with the smoke that can kill the mind control spider. The fired the smoke bombs in the vents. The bombs releases the smoke and went in the school. The mind controlled students tried to break out of the school to attack the gang, but when they smelled the smoke, they panicked and tried to break out. But Zosia's barrier spell was too strong and they inhaled a lot of it. They all started coughing and hacking. They held their throat, trying to breathe, but soon they all cough/puked out the control bugs from them. The control bugs fell on the ground, dead by the smoke. The students fell unconscious on the ground while the smoke killed all the control spider, not harming the students. Vida was on the roof with Devlin and nodded at her. Devlin smirked before she turn towards the others on the ground and gave them an okay sign. Everyone was relief, knowing it was all over, but something wasn't right.
BANG!
A bullet shot on Xenthos back, causing him to fall face down. Val and Celestia screamed in terror at the sight while the rest, minus Dark, Zosia, and Keizer, were shock to see that. They all turned around to see Fillmore, holding a 44 magnum pistol, that has smoke coming from it. Molly was beside him, her eyes were filled with rage and hatred. They were a few feet away from them and they were clearly pissed that their plan was foiled by them.
"You ruined everything!" Fillmore yelled, pointing the gun at them. "I could've created the perfect students!"
"NO! You were forcing us to be your mindless puppets!" Tod yelled at him. "You took away our freedom for you sick mind!"
"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Molly screamed. "I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!"
With her last roar, Molly started to change, he body twitched and turn. Her body started to grow rapidly. Everyone, minus the magical beings and Dark, watched in shock and fear as Molly shows her true form, a Parasita Queen and she's the twice the size of an whale! Val screams as Molly or better yet Moncastra, lets out a roar as she glares down at them. Dark raised a brow at her as she looked at her in disgust.
"That is one ugly motherfucker." She mutters.
Moncastra roars at them. "None of you will live!" She yelled as she charges at them.
Zosia's eyes flashed and a wall of light appeared, blinding Moncastra from the light. Zosia teleports the staff, the teens, and the kids away from the battle and into a safe distance while she, Dark, an Keizer face Moncastra.
(Fall Out Boy: Light 'Em Up)
Moncastra roars at them before charging at them. They dodges her attack, Dark summons two pistols and fires powerful bullets at her. The bullets made serious damage, but it wasn't enough to kill Moncastra. Moncastra roared in pain as she fires sticky webs at her. Dark teleports away and fired more bullets at her. Spider-man wasn't going to let them do all the work, so he helped out by tying the legs of Moncastra's together, preventing her from moving. Moncastra lost her balance and fall, but she was able to swat Spider-man with her blade arm. Spider-man was sent flying to the trees, but Zosia transforms the tree into a pillow, creating a soft landing for Spider-man. Keizer summons two sharp blades and charges at Moncastra, who freed herself from Spider-man's webs. She strikes him with her powerful legs, but he dodged and cuts one of her legs, spilling greenish blue blood. Moncastra roared in pain as Keizer cut one of her blade arms. But with each cut, Moncastra's missing limbs grew back in a matter of seconds. Spiders can regrow missing limbs, and since Moncastra is an alien spider, her regeneration is much faster than an average spider. Fillmore glares at them before he points his gun at the D-Squad members, aiming at Val, he was about to pull the trigger when a sharp throwing star came and disarming Fillmore. Fillmore yelled in pain as he clutches his hand, he looks up to see who threw that and gasps in shock to see Xenthos standing, his injury gone, and the throwing star returns to him and he caught it between his fingers. He slowly looks up to Fillmore and made a deadly glare. For once in his life, Fillmore became terrified by this. Spider-man soon came and fires a web at Fillmore, trapping him on the tree, so he won't cause trouble. Moncastra saw Xenthos was alive and attacks him, but before she did, Xenthos disappeared and reappeared behind her back and kicks her. Moncastra fells on the ground, creating a dust of smoke.
"We have to help them!" Val said worriedly.
"HOW!? That crazy spider queen has a regeneration system like that dude Wolverine!" Damien exclaims.
"There is a way." Soren said as he took out two large injections, one green and one blue. "These injections carry the formula that can paralyze and kill Moncastra. But it mest be on her neck." They looked as the others fought Moncastra. Moncastra neck was high and they have one chance to do so.
"Guys! Hold her down! We have one chance!" Shadow Angel yelled to them.
They heard her and understood. Spider-man fired two webs and grabbed Moncastra's blade arms, he pulls the arms down and Xenthos and Keizer came to him and helped him hold down Moncastra's arms. Dark summons her shadow tentacles and grabbed Moncastra's legs, preventing her from walking. Moncastra was about to fire her webs when Alex uses her power to cover Moncastra's jaws. Yunna and Irelia grabbed the injections and Soren uses his wind to bring them high. They were on top of Moncastra's neck and stabbed the injections on it. Moncastra's eyes widen in pain as she roars on the restrain on her jaw as the formulas went into her body. She trashes around, trying to break free, but the gang were making sure that she hold down. After a few seconds, Moncastra's eyes became dull as she became limp. They let her go as Moncastra's body fell on the ground with a loud THUD! and Moncastra was on the ground dead. Everyone was shock and yet relief, knowing it was over.
"NO!" They heard Fillmore yelled. "YOU RUINED MY CHANCE TO MAKE THE PERFECT WORLD!"
"The fu-You almost cause World War III because of...what's her name?" Dark asked Soren.
"Moncastra."
"Mon-You know what, let's just call her Molly." Dark said as she turns towards Fillmore. "Where was I...oh yeah! You almost caused World War III because of Molly, all because of the incident with your wife and kid?"
"This world is full of imperfection! It must be perfect!"
"Well, guess what, nobody's perfect. And you can't force people to be perfect." Dark informs him.
Shadow Angel steps in. "Indeed, you can't control the free minds of people. They have choose to be who they are."
"And that is why you cannot force them to be that you want them to be." Zosia added.
"Yup, and that is reason why your daughter ran off with a bad boy." Dark said grinning at Fillmore's shock expression. "You force her to be perfect, and sh couldn't stand it. She became rebellious and grew a hatred towards you. So, she ran off with a bad boy, escaping from your controls. And I say, she damn good job on running away. Plus, it was your fault that drove her to be rebellious."
Fillmore glares at her in hatred towards Dark. Headmistress White went over to Fillmore and glared at him, clearly pissed off for what he has done to her, the staff, and the students. He will get justice. "Mr. Fillmore, I believe your days of teaching is over." She said, causing Fillmore to look down n anger, she turns to the others and said. "Call 911, please."
And with that, Vida was the one who called 911, she and the other hunters left along with Devlin. Zosia and the Corvus Twins stayed hidden in the shadows while Angel, Dark, and Spider-man were the ones who explain the police on what just happened. Soren went back to the island, making sure to report back to the others. Celestia and the others were hiding on the bushes with Irelia as they watched the scene from the afar. Headmistress White and the staff knew about the D-Squad's ability and secret, and promised never tell a word. Soon, S.H.I.E.L.D. came and arrested Fillmore for what he has done. Fillmore has no excuse because thanks to the cameras in the school, there were enough evidence that he is guilty for what he has done. Audrey Timmonds was there too with her cameraman, Victor "Animal" Palotti, came when the D-Squad told her a big news that will help her reporting career, and spreading the word about Fillmore's crime. Speaking of the D-Squad, they and Yunna were talking with Sean and Tod, who knows about their secrets, and promised never to tell anyone about it. Because no one will believe them.
"Promise that you won't tell anyone?" Val asked them.
"We promise." Sean and Tod said with a smile.
They notice two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were escorting a handcuffed Fillmore to the helicopter while the rest were collecting Moncastra's body and her dead minions. The students that are free are now being taken care of by the paramedics. The police called their parents and informs them about the situation. They knew that the parents will come and see their kids since Fillmore trapped them for months, making them miss their family.
"I wonder what's going to happen to Fillmore." Sofia said.
Spider-man with Dark and Angel walked up to them. "Don't worry, Fury said that Fillmore will be locked up somewhere far away from students and people for the rest of his life." Spider-man informs.
"That's good." Alex said.
Fury came over to them and looked at Spider-man. "Nice job dealing with this, Spider-man. But how did you know that this school was in trouble?"
"Well, I couldn't have known it if it wasn't for Dark Twilight and Shadow Angel." Spider-man points at the two.
Fury looked at them and then to Angel. "Well, if it isn't the angel of darkness. Finally agreeing to join S.H.I.E.L.D.?" He asked.
"Hmmm, I still have my doubts, but Dark Twilight here agrees." Angel gestured Dark Twilight who was glaring at them.
The D-Squad and Yunna was surprise by this, but Dark gave them a look saying: Not a word, before looking at Fury. "I agreed to help, BUT! You're not gonna boss me around like a puppet! Got that?" She said in anger.
"Fine, but you can be a help with major missions." Fury said.
"So it's a deal then." Dark said before noticing Headmistress White coming to them. "Here comes the principle." She mutters as Headmistress White came to them.
"I want to thank you again for saving everyone. We would've been lost if it wasn't for you bravery." She said with a smile.
Spider-man smiled under his mask. "You're welcome, but what will happen to your school?" He asked.
"It will be repaired for a while. The students must go back home to their family after what they have been through." She said. "You can come back here once the school is back to normal."
"Wait! You're extending the break?" Damien asked with a grin.
Headmistress White played innocently before smiling. "Yes, everyone needs a vacation from what they have experience."
Damien cheered and everyone laughed at him, knowing that the kids will spend more time the Predacons. Once everything was sorted out, everyone was sent home while the school was being repaired. The D-Squad and Yunna will return once the school is repaired. But they're just happy that everything was okay. Except for Dark who is now have to work with S.H.I.E.L.D. since the deal with Spider-man.
Merry Christmas everybody! I hope you guys liked it. And if you guys asked why the others couldn't help or why Yunna turn into her bot form, because I got lazy and Christmas is coming, so I'm busy. And dragonstorm676, I didn't give your characters their true forms because I'm saving it.
Are we good? If so, I will be busy with the preparation with my family. Again, happy holidays and thanks you.
