The following fanfic is in memory of The Wyatt Family in WWE; and most notably, Luke Harper (aka Brodie Lee), who makes his posthumous role in this fanfic.

In a state prison, a woman with long pink hair was sitting in her cell, dejected. She was wearing a gray jumpsuit. The cell opened, as a man in a black officer's uniform said to her, "Chelsea, It's time…"
She was escorted away, as reporters and people in attendance were watching on. Today was a special day for Chelsea. It was her execution.
The headlines read about her:
"Disgraced Doctor Sent to Die Tonight!
Former doctor, Chelsea, who was found guilty of murdering her friend, Erza Scarlet, after a sensational trial, will be put to death today. Since she was sentenced to die, she has refused to speak on her own behalf, owing to what she has done."
Chelsea bowed her head, holding her notes, and was about to die. But she turned to a boy with brown hair. She gave him the notes and said, "Here. I want you to hold these for me, Mr. Maebara. Out of all the newspapers, yours was the most trusting to me."
"Thank you. What are these?"
"My notes. It is my research… Please, keep this to yourself… but you're welcome to share, after I am gone."
"I will."
As she left, he read a note:
"I go to my death as a scientist, leaving behind this record with hope that it will benefit all of mankind.
Chelsea."
He then read the first page of her records, as she was placed in a chair, while a man in black held up a sharp axe.
"The notes of the case of Erza Scarlet, by Chelsea."
He then opened the book, as Chelsea closed her eyes, whispering, "Goodbye… Erza… Forgive me…"
CHOP!
"Friday the 13th.
This morning, my friend, Erza Scarlet, was conducting her class at a local University."
This was the story of how Erza became…
The Last Wyatt
August 13th
Erza, a woman with long red hair, was conducting with her students in class. She was a nice and well-loved woman, who taught many lessons to her class. She was wearing a gray suit and wore glasses. Erza Scarlet, she was once a warrior and a proud fighter in her guild. But after the guild folded, she retired and became a literary teacher.
The bell rang, as the students left. But she called to them, "Hold it! Before you leave… I know this is sudden, but I have an announcement. This being the end of our semester, but I regret to inform you that I will not be your teacher in the next term. You see, I am to attend the Board of Directors today, to a very large university. Perhaps I should find a way to avoid leaving. I sincerely hope that I will be rejected. Anyways, you may go."
The boys and girls were worried, and they went to her, as they hoped she would come back. They wished her luck, as Erza departed for her car. She approached a woman in purple hair and glasses, and remarked, "Sheele, I'm going to miss this place. Moreover, I'm going to miss Chelsea. She's been a very great friend."
"Of course. She'd be in shock, if she learned about you leaving the country. But she's been doing so well in science."
Chelsea was waiting in the car, as she was with a woman in pink hair. Chelsea said, wearing her black and white dress, "Well, Lucy, you don't know how sad it is to see me see Erza leave this school. You and Sheele have been friends, recently, so it is hard to hold my tears."
Lucy nodded, as she whispered, "We'll miss her, too."
"Here we are!" Erza arrived, as she and Sheele went to the car. Erza then asked, "Oh, that reminds me, can you drop me off at the Students' Cleaning Shop? I left my spare outfit in there."
Chelsea smiled, "Alright, but let's hurry, we don't wanna miss your train."
They drove away, heading to the Cleaning Shop. They stopped, as Erza walked down the street, through the crosswalk, and then approached the door. But as she was about to open the door, two black cars drove off, and one of the cars skidded off the road.
CRASH!
Erza was run over by the black car, destroying the shop along the way. Chelsea, Lucy, & Sheele ran out, as Erza's body was buried in debris. Chelsea held her, and felt her pulse. She's alive, but barely. She looked inside the car, and saw a huge man, with a bushy beard and blonde dreadlocks. He was lying on the wheel, moaning in pain.
Meanwhile, in the other car, four giant men were driving away, silent and stoic. One of the men, in black hair and a black beard, said, "Bray Wyatt belongs to history. Past tense."
Another man is seven feet tall, with black hair and a stubble said, "What about his treasure?"
The bearded man said, "I'm sure he'll be fine, long enough to tell us. Eli, turn back."
Eli nodded, as the four giants returned to where Bray was struck.
Carried on stretchers, Bray & Erza were taken into an ambulance. Chelsea offered to come with, as she instructed Sheele, "Sheele, you and Lucy return home. I won't be gone too long."
Sheele smiled, "We'll be waiting." They left, as Chelsea went inside.

Inside the ambulance, she examined Erza's unconscious body, as Bray came to.
"Yowie-wowie… What a hit… I'm in an ambulance?"
"Yes. Those men that ran you over. Who were they?"
"My brothers… Well, used to be." Bray asked, "How bad am I hurt?"
Chelsea said, "Well, I'm partially a doctor, but… Few minor bruises and cuts to the scalp, that's all. Any pain?"
"Not much. Who's the other person?"
"The woman you ran down. She's dying!"
"I'm sorry, man… My brothers tried to kill me. Didn't mean to. Was an accident. But then it's fate. Did my brothers flee like cowards?"
"Yes."
"Well, they ain't my brothers anymore, I tell you that." He tried to get up, but Chelsea stopped him. She said, "It's alright. You're badly hurt. Don't move."
"Strapped down! What's going on?"
"You'll find out, when we arrive at the hospital."
The siren went loud, as Bray moaned, "Too loud…"

Chelsea was in a doctor's outfit, but a woman in green hair appeared to her.
"Dr. Chelsea?"
"Yes, Dr. Kashima?"
"I'm afraid you're not going to save Miss Scarlet."
"WHY?"
"We examined her. She has a compound frontal and parietal fracture. And a severe concussion of the cerebellum. She has hours, or minutes, to live."
"Is she awake?"
Kashima shook her head, "No… Pulse 65. She's in a coma."
Chelsea was sad, but then turned to Bray, who was lying in his bed. She said to the doctor, "I'll take it from here…"
Kashima left the room, as Bray moaned, "Doctor? What's up?"
"Yes…" Chelsea bowed, "I'm sorry, sir. I don't think you'll avenge your brothers… nor can I avenge her against you or them, for what happened to Erza…"
"What's wrong? Why can't I move? Strapped down again?"
"Spinal area is destroyed. You're paralyzed."
He chuckled, "Well… what a way to go. Can you fix it, doctor?"
"I wish… But then again, I don't know what…" Chelsea was hurt, as she held her body, "My friend's dying."
"Don't cry. If you save me, I'll save her. She needs you, so badly, man…" he pleaded, "I want vengeance on my brothers, for an accident. Please… fix me…"
Chelsea was in tears, as she sniffled, "Okay… I'll do it…"
She held up a syringe and was crying. She inserted the syringe into Bray's arm.
"The only possible way was to save Erza Scarlet's life. I couldn't care less about Bray, but I know in my heart, he wants to live, too. The solution - I was to do a brain transplant operation, an operation I have performed successfully on animals. This is a dangerous and illegal operation, but a chance to achieve a great scientific discovery… and perhaps save my best friend's life."
Chelsea began to operate on Erza, using the brain of Bray Wyatt. Upon completing the surgery, Erza's body was stable, but Bray Wyatt had died.
Erza was lying in bed, with a bandage over her head, as Sheele smiled, "You're recovering well?"
Erza smiled, still lying down, "I think so… But I hope to leave this place, soon."
Lucy asked, "How long before she's able to move again?"
Chelsea said, "Soon enough."
Dr. Kashima said, "Excuse me, Dr. Chelsea? Two men wish to see you."
Chelsea nodded, "Yes, thank you."
She went to Bray's room, as they examined his stuff. The two men were the same huge men. One was bald with a huge orange beard, and one was with a crew cut and a bushy brown beard.
"That's Bray." The orange bearded man said.
Chelsea asked, "Hi, men? Can I help you?"
The huge bearded man asked, "He died of head injuries?"
"Among other compilations. His spine was destroyed. But we did all we could."
The orange bearded man asked, "Eh, don't worry about it. He had lots to live for… though, he's often screwy in the head."
The other huge man said, "Did he say anything about money, perhaps?"
Chelsea said, "No… He only wanted me to save his life. But I was too late. Honest, it was all he said to me. My friend was badly hurt-."
The orange bearded man said, "That'll do. Thanks, doctor."
The two men leave, as Chelsea was curious. "Money? What are they talking about?"
She picked up a newspaper and read a huge article:
"Bray Wyatt died in hospital. Wyatt Family Treasure remains lost forever!
Bray Wyatt was dead in the local hospital. He was the leader of his mysterious family, The Wyatt Family. According to reports, he left behind a treasure for the brothers to enjoy, but it has never been discovered. It is said to have been worth over $25 million dollars of money and artifacts, lost in time, for over a decade. With Bray Wyatt dead, the treasure is forever lost."
Chelsea's eyes widened, as she whispered, "Twenty-five… million?"
"I had no idea he was a crook… or a mysterious man with a treasure hidden. But twenty-five million dollars?! With that kind of money, I could build my own lab, and continue with my experiments. I'm not greedy, but I want to put the money to good use.
Erza is convalescing and seems to have shown some of Bray Wyatt's traits. Does the Wyatt brain in Erza's head retain the knowledge of the hidden treasure?"
Days later, Erza was sitting in her chair, as Chelsea arrived. "Erza!"
Erza was upset, as she was feeling bitter. "Erza? It's me."
"You're late. I'm feeling very low."
"It's alright. I have been worried about you, since the operation."
"I used to think my convalescence would be like a holiday. I tried sharpening my tools, searching through my wardrobe, but nothing… It feels boring."
"Boring period, this convalescence. How would you like to go to New York for a few days? I was thinking of leaving for New York, I have a little business with the hospital."
"Aw, you couldn't do that. New York's too big. You didn't have to worry about me."
"You had your fill of peace and quiet. It's nice to get out, once in a while. And as your doctor, I'll not only prescribe it, but I insist on it."
"Okay. I'll call Lucy & Sheele to pack and leave."
"Alone!" Chelsea ordered, "You and I, alone. We can't bring Lucy and Sheele with us. What you need is a radical change."
"Perhaps you're right. I have been like a bear to Lucy. And she needed some peace of mind, away from me. She doesn't mind." She asked, "I wonder about New York."
"I'm taking Erza to New York, in America, where Bray Wyatt was last known to be, near the SmackDown Hotel, which Bray used as his refuge."
At the SmackDown Hotel, Erza and Chelsea checked in. The clerk asked, "Hello, ladies. Welcome to the SmackDown Hotel. How may I assist you?"
Chelsea said, "Yes. 505 and 506? The rooms, are they available?"
"Yes, but-."
"Wait, Chelsea," Erza asked, "Are you sure? I wanted maybe a closer room."
"No, I'm sure we are-."
"Ladies, have you been available here before?"
Erza said, "Oh, no, sir. I just wanted a corner room with three windows… and a fire escape."
Erza walked off, as Chelsea said, "She's alright."
XXXXX
Both girls were taken to their rooms, as Erza went to Room 505, and Chelsea was in Room 506. The bellboy in red pulled Chelsea's luggage in, as he said, "Here you are."
Erza said, "It's a bit bright. I think I'll take the next room. Will you bring the bag in, please?"
Erza went to Room 506, leaving Chelsea in 505. She decided to enter the bedroom, and the bellboy said, "You sure picked a good room with a lot of history."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean Bray Wyatt. He was mysterious, but he did entertain people. This used to be his room, mostly for choirs, torture, and puppets. He's like his own personal Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood from Hell. One day, he was sitting in his rocking chair, playing with a girl puppet doll in black, and suddenly, four massive men barged in and Bray ran out. The puppets were gone, including some of that red jam, which is not jam. Sadly, he trailed all the way to the suburbian sticks, and there he died. IMAGINE that we found out who he was, and a quarter of a hundred million dollars is hidden away in his person, somewhere in parts unknown."
"Wow! That kind of money?"
"Of course. The manager tried to tear his room apart, but all he found were puppets of that mannequin girl, a pig, vulture, a destroyed rabbit, and Mr. McMahon in devil horns. But no fortune. I was the only one that can come to his room, and can only knock in tune."
"Tune?"
The bellboy knocked, Knock knock-knock-knock knock-knock knock-knock. He said, "Like that. It's a part of the tune "Live in Fear"."
Erza nodded nervously, as she tipped the bellboy. He left, as Erza was worried, "I don't know… So many bad memories."
Chelsea pondered, as she narrated, "The Wyatt brain remembers this hotel… but will it remember his brothers? The men that tried to kill him?"
She showed a newspaper of the four former Wyatt Family Members. And also a newspaper clipping with a woman in white hair, wearing white gloves, and with black paint over her eyes.
"These were the bearded men I met in the hospital, a while back. They were his former family: Strowman, Rowan, Cottonwood, and Harper. I'm also taking Erza to see the only female to be seduced by Wyatt's black magic, Alexa Bliss - Wyatt's former sweetheart."
NOTE: Eli Cottonwood used to side with Bray Wyatt, back in FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling), a time before NXT.

At the nightclub, Alexa Bliss was singing to the audience, wearing a white dress, and without her black shadows. She was normal again, after Wyatt was gone. But rumors say that her dark side may reemerge.
Erza & Chelsea sat at a table together, as Erza was still acting funny. Erza enjoyed the music, as she asked, "Hey, who's she? It's almost like I've seemed to-."
"Remember?" Chelsea said, "Oh, that's Alexa Bliss. She has been under a lot of changes, lately. She has been starting her own Lilly-lution with a deformed doll."
"Oh, so she has. So, the black paint is all for show?"
"You could say that."
Chelsea giggled, but Erza held her head. "I'm merely surprised you know of a women's wrestler."
"I'm merely a former guild warrior turned college teacher, not some wrestling fangirl. All these people here are for pleasure and entertainment."
A huge man walked by, and nearly bumped the table. It was Eli Cottonwood. They stared down, as Erza asked, "My apologies."
Eli said, "Excuse me."
He slowly walked off, as Erza moaned, "Ungh… I should leave now."
"Come on, I'll take you to your room." Chelsea helped Erza up, as Eli was watching on, in concern, and in a stoic stare.

The next morning, Erza called the clerk, "Can you send the boy to pack my things? I'm checking out today. I'm not feeling right. Can you? Thanks very much."
Chelsea arrived, "Morning, Erza! You slept late!"
Erza moaned, "But my sleeping problems haven't. I'm sorry, but I'm leaving."
"Oh, you can't leave."
"I'm sorry… But what is the matter with me? Last night, I was sleeping peacefully, when all of a sudden, I heard the most horrible dreams. I saw a swamp… a shack… and a chair… rocking back and forth… some gators, and even… Her."
"You mean Bliss?"
"No… No, not Bliss… Someone called… Abigail."
"It's perfectly normal. You have had one of those bad dreams."
The bellboy knocked in Live in Fear, as Chelsea called, "Come in!"
He entered, as he said, "Excuse me, I came to pack Miss Scarlet's clothes?"
"Yes, right over there." Erza said, "And what do you mean by that ridiculous tapping on the door, like you're playing music?"
He said, "Sorry, but I did tell you that this used to be Bray Wyatt-."
"I don't care! Knock on the door like everyone else!"
"Yes, ma'am. Can I still pack your stuff?"
"Yes, go ahead."
Chelsea asked, "You seemed irritable. One nightmare, and you're acting in pain."
Erza sobbed, "I wanna go home. I don't belong here. Lucy needs me. The other Lucy."
"You mean Lucy Heartfilia?"
"Yes. I was expecting her to return from her holiday, last week. I grew worried about her."
Erza sat down, as Chelsea said, "I don't think I'd try to leave today, Erza. Just relax. If she sends a wire, I'll tell her that you're busy, and you said hello." She said to the bellboy, "That'll do. Leave it. You can stop packing!"
He said, "Yes, ma'am," and left. Chelsea instructed, "Erza, you're in no condition to travel. We'll wait until tomorrow, alright?"
Erza started to fade, as she whispered, "Alright… Anything for you…" She then passed out. Chelsea grinned evilly, as she whispered to a passed out Erza.
"Bray… Bray Wyatt… You're the leader of the Wyatt Family. You were the leader. Your brothers tried to kill you and you swore revenge!" She leaned to her, and whispered, "Bray… Do you remember the name "Harper"? One of your brothers… Harper, Rowan, Cottonwood, Strowman! He's the one that took your place. Why did they try to kill you, Bray? For the Wyatt Fortune? Where is it? It's safe, where it is, is it? You still have it, yet they didn't take it, did they?"
Erza was in a subconscious mind, as she was rocking in her rocking chair, in the swamp. The four bearded men appeared in her vision.
"Harper… Rowan… Strowman… Cottonwood…"
The men approached Erza, as they stood in place, in a stoic look. Erza stood up, and dropped to her knees, holding her arms up. She then whispered, "Run!"
"AH" Erza's eyes opened. She looked around, as Chelsea said, "You were ill, Bray…"
Erza said, "Yeah, I remember. I was in that hick town. You're the doctor."
"Yes."
She giggled, as she said, "My back… You did it, Doc. My back's fixed."
"And more."
Erza Scarlet had become Bray Wyatt, thanks to the operation that Chelsea did. Now, Bray is in Chelsea's body. He smiled, "I'm so limber. And we're at the SmackDown Hotel!" He paused and said, "This a rib?"
"You told me to come here."
"I swear… The lizard people are after me. Whole town…"
Chelsea blushed, "I got something to tell you…" Erza paused and asked, "What?"
She looked down and saw her chest. She gasped, "YOWIE-WOWIE! What is this?"
Chelsea explained, "You were in an accident. You died, but so did my friend. I swapped your brain into another body."
"A woman's body? No way…" She looked in the mirror, "Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho… I look beautiful!"
"I know… But still…"
Erza smiled, "Why did you do this? This is amazing!"
"It was the only way to keep you alive." Chelsea said, "I would never let you die. Though, I'm ashamed about her body."
Erza said, "No, it's cool. I mean, no beard… only long beautiful hair… And the body of a WWE Women's Champion! Like say Charlotte Flair, NO! Sasha Banks. I mean, you're a genius!"
"It's not plastic surgery! I used the body of a woman… The same woman you nearly killed."
"Well, it saved both of us." She asked, "Who was the lady friend that I now own?"
"She's a literature teacher in a university. Her name's Erza Scarlet."
Erza laughed, as she smiled, "Oh, man! What a story! What a break for Bray Wyatt!"
The door knocked, as Erza headed to the door. The bellboy came, as he said, "Telegram for you."
Chelsea said, "Oh, thank you."
Erza grabbed the bellboy, as he cried, "HEY, LADY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Erza glared at him, "Next time… You do as you're told. Why did you knock like that?"
"Well, y-you told me-."
"Next time, you KNOCK at my presence, boy!" She barked, "When you come to my room, knock like this." She knocked in Live in Fear, as she concluded, "You got it? Now be off with you, son. Remember next time."
The bellboy left, as he whimpered, "Y-Y-Yes, ma'am. Next time." He shut the door, as Chelsea was opening the letter.
The telegram read:
Came home from tour. Sheele told me about Erza. Very anxious for her.
Love, Lucy Heartfilia.
Chelsea nodded, as she got a letter from Lucy Heartfilia. She called, "Bray, I-."
Erza vanished, as Chelsea was stunned. She asked, "Where'd he go?"
XXXXX
Erza was out in the lobby, wearing a black hat. She grinned, as she said, "I… have returned." She even dressed herself in a Hawaiian shirt and black pants.
She walked out of the hotel, and into the streets. It was night. Eli was walking down the street, just walking. Erza appeared from the darkness, as Eli passed her.
"Eli…" She asked, "Been worried about you, son… I missed you, friend…"
Eli turned around and was confused. Erza smiled, as she walked towards him, "Tiiiiiiiiiime… is on my side… Yes it is." She glared, "Now… Start running."
She grabbed onto Eli and strangled him, wrapping her left hand onto his neck, and her right hand into his face. The shadows showed Erza choking Eli Cottonwood to death, and crushing his face. He fell dead. Erza chuckled, as she laughed demonically and evilly, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" She roared at the 4th wall, "RUN!"
Everything flashed to black.
Later that night, Erza was snoozing. Chelsea found her and smiled, "Thank goodness. She was too excited." She reached for the covers, but then noticed blood on her hands. She gasped, as she thought, "Did Bray do this?"
The next morning, the bellboy arrived with Erza's suit and the newspaper. She read the newspaper, and learned about last night.
"Eli Cottonwood dead! Former Wyatt Family Brother Slain!
Eli Cottonwood, a young man who was loyal to the Wyatt Family, was found dead, beaten to death by an unknown assailant."
Chelsea was shocked, "No way…" She hid the papers and brought Erza's suit to her room. Erza was sleeping in her bed. She pulled the curtains up, and Erza woke up.
"Morning…" Erza yawned.
Chelsea said, "Did you sleep well?"
Erza said, "No… Not too well. I think coming to New York was a bad idea. It's like it drained my life out."
"You'll be alright, once you have rest." Chelsea asked, "By the way, last night, I read in the papers that Eli Cottonwood was badly beaten to death in the alley. His back was broken, his neck snapped, and his lower jaw was dislocated."
"Good heavens… Why bother me with that gory stuff?"
"Curious. I thought I'd entice you."
"I knew from the moment I saved Erza, things went from great to bad, and to worse off. Erza killed Eli Cottonwood. While in this environment, I've never known that the malicious brain of Bray Wyatt would take control of her, but I won't stop until I know. I must continue my experiments, in order to learn more of the Wyatt Fortune, and its whereabouts."
Erza was getting dressed, in a black evening gown. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a police siren. A police car drove by, and Erza suddenly held her head, teasing her hair. She reverted back to Bray Wyatt. She then looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Black is so in… but this body, not so much…"
She stripped down naked and changed into another outfit.
Minutes later, Chelsea knocked on Erza's door. She called, "ERZA? It's Chelsea! Erza?" She opened the door, but it's locked. She gasped, as she rushed out, "No… He wouldn't"
She went out to the hall and asked the lady to open her door. The lady opened the door, and Chelsea went in. She called out, "ERZA! Erza! Uh, Bray! Whoever you are?"
She kneeled down and found a black pile of cloth. It was Erza's evening gown. She blushed, as she said, "She… She's off naked… Or has she? No… She must-. No, wait… Bray Wyatt usually wears…"
She ran out of the hotel, looking for Erza. She knew that Bray Wyatt was there, controlling Erza.

Chelsea arrived at the nightclub and asked, "Excuse me, sir? Have you seen a woman with long red hair? She and I were just here, the other night."
The man said, "No, I'm sorry. But I'm pretty sure she is close. Come to think of it, this woman like her came here, but she just left, earlier."
Chelsea said, "Yes, thank you." She left the club, afterwards.
In the club, Alexa Bliss finished, and then departed to her room. The three bearded men, Harper, Rowan, & Strowman, were sitting at the table, not applauding.
Harper smiled, "Well, fun entertainment, huh boys?"
Strowman growled, as Harper said, "Well, I don't think she was pleased with us."
Rowan said, "Why are we wasting time here, fooling around? You remember what happened in the papers, today, about Eli. The killer may be after us, too."
Harper said, "Well, could be one of Bray's friends. And who can know more about Bray Wyatt's friends than Alexa Bliss?"
Strowman nodded, "Hmm… I know Alexa. You stay safe, and I'll take care of it."
Harper said, "No, you sit down, Braun. We'll let Erick do it. I see you were trying to take her place here."
Rowan nodded, "Okay." He sat up, "You two go on ahead." He went to the dressing rooms, as Harper and Strowman were sitting at the table.
Rowan knocked on the door, as Alexa called, "Come in!"
Rowan entered, as Alexa was sitting in her swing, giggling like a child. He said, "Is that all you can do, after a mature show?"
Alexa grinned, "I just love being me. I wanted to wait for someone to play with me." Her hair was done in buns. She stopped, as she glared, "I had nothing to do with Eli's death. I was with Lilly." She held up a deformed doll and giggled.
"Nobody said you did." Rowan said, "How about I come over to your apartment, when you're done here? Perhaps we handle the situation concerning Eli's death."
Alexa smiled, "Sure! I mean, splitting it five ways is so dull. Four ways for a quarter of a hundred million, it's easy."
"We'll discuss that, later." He held up a gold watch and said, "This is for you, from Braun… You get it tonight, when I visit."
Alexa waved goodbye, "Bye-Bye." She swung and smiled, "Oh boy!"

Rowan went to his car, and prepared to drive off. But the car won't start. He then saw, from a distance, a faint light. Rowan stepped out, but then he saw a white sheep's mask on the ground.
"What is this?"
He saw the view, as it was a lantern, shining in the distance. A woman in a black dress was walking towards the car, with the light over her emotionless and stoic face. He gasped, "What the hell?"
Erza smiled, as she held up the lantern. She blew it out, and then vanished. Rowan moaned, as he went inside, thinking it was a gag. But Erza appeared in the driver's seat and said, "Remember your past now, Rowan?"
Rowan barked, "Hey, what is this, lady? Get out of my car!"
"You're not the single most upset, after what happened to Eli, Brother Erick?" She tipped her black hat and giggled, "I'm here."
"How did you know my name?" She grabbed him, as he asked, "Who are you?"
Erza said, "Erick… … … … …" She gripped his neck, and Rowan was being choked to death. Erza laughed evilly, as Rowan passed out. As soon as Rowan dropped down, Chelsea arrived, and saw everything. Erza chuckled, as Rowan's dead body was sitting next to her. She said, as she rode off, "FOLLOW! The buzzards!" She then placed the sheep's mask over Erick Rowan's face. She whispered, "Sweet dreams."
The car drove off, as Chelsea was shocked. She asked herself, "What did I create? What's going on here?"

At Alexa's house, she answered the phone, and said, "Hello? OH! Braun, it's you!" She paused and asked, "You're not Braun! Who is this?"
Erza was calling from the nightclub, "Hello, Alexa. I've not seen you since the ThunderDome! And then you backstabbed me in Tampa."
"Bray?!" Alexa gasped, "It's you? You're alive? You… You want me to-?"
"I'll be right up." Erza hung up.
Minutes later, Alexa answered the door, after Erza knocked lightly. Alexa opened the door, "BRAY! YOU-!" But she saw Erza, instead of Bray, wearing a reddish sweater and slacks, with her hair done in a ponytail. The children cheered, as Erza cried, "YOWIE-WOWIE! I'M BACK, KIDDIES!"
Alexa was so confused. She asked, "Is this… some kind of-."
Erza chucked, "Aw, don't be discouraged, Alexa. Let me look at you! It's great to be back!" She looked around, "Aw, why did you move the piano? Mercy the Buzzard used to stay there." The children went "Awwwwww…"
Alexa said, "I-I didn't think it was important."
"Well, I was gone for two weeks. You think I didn't know that?" Erza chuckled, "Aw, Alexa…"
Wah-wah…
Erza opened a secret passage, as it showed Bray's old paintings, from the painting of the Wyatt Compound being burned down, to a painting of The Fiend. "My archives… Just as I remembered." She stared at the burning painting, and her eyes widened. "Yes… How I remembered. So many good memories." She approached the brownish belt with a white demon face. She said, "My precious toy… So beautiful." She said, "OH! And these? Where have you been, my babies?" She held up some gloves, which said "Hurt" and "Heal". She put them in her pocket and said, "I may need these."
Alexa called, "Wha-? Who are you, and why are you-?"
"Don't speak!" Erza smiled, "I know what you're thinking… Why am I here? In this body? Well, it's a long story, but I don't want to spoil the ending for my fireflies. See, I was dead. But I was reborn… … ...as a new Eater of Worlds. But those days are long behind me! Because… while I have her body…" She rubbed herself and grinned, "He still resonates within me… no matter what." She glared and whispered, "Because he… never forgets. And never will… Just ask Rowan… and Eli…"
Erza laughed and replied, "But enough about me! Let's talk about you! I got a present for you!" The children cheered, as she showed Alexa a gold watch, the same gold watch Rowan got from Braun, for her. Alexa was shocked, as Erza smiled, "Isn't it beautiful?! From me, to you, my friend. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Lemme put it on for you!" Alexa jerked away and said, "No, that's fine." Erza insisted, and put the watch on for her. She glared, "Where and how did you get it?"
"Just a gift. I mean, it's the thought that counts, right?" Erza smiled, "What's the matter? Are you afraid of me? You're… You're not happy." The children moan, as Alexa was upset. She said, "I'm not afraid."
Erza giggled, as she said, "Well, I hope you like my gift. And say hi to Luke and Braun for me. They're nice people… until you decide to double-cross me…" She then smiled and left to the door, "And remember! I'll light the way! And all you have to do… is let me in." She waved goodbye and cheered, "Bye, Fireflies! OH! And Alexa?" She winked, "See you in hell!"
She slammed the door, as Alexa was confused and upset. Alexa asked, "What the [BLEEP]?"

The next day, the headlines read:
"Wyatt Family Killer Strikes Again!
Erick Rowan, member of the Wyatt Family, found dead after strangulation."
Two detectives were reading the newspaper, as one detective in long purple hair and tan skin said, "Seems to mean that Bray Wyatt is doing the Muscle Man Dance in Hell, after his brothers are being bumped off."
A detective in long dark blue hair, done in a ponytail, said to her, "Yeah, but the Wyatts were known to be mysterious. One death of their leader, and they fall like dominoes."
The chief called, "Ladies, come on in." They stepped in, as they saluted to the chief, a woman with short red hair. She instructed, "Now, ladies, you know that Bray Wyatt is dead, since two weeks ago, and his brothers, Eli Cottonwood and Erick Rowan, were murdered. We believe that the murderer is one of Wyatt's brothers, or significant others."
"Can a leader kill his friends, even after death?"
The Chief said, "No. Dead leaders have no friends. I want you two to go find Strowman and Harper."
The two detectives walked off, heading to Harper's apartment, first.
On the way, Erza broke into Luke Harper's room, wearing her normal clothes. She relaxed in the chair and smirked, "Soon, Brother Harper… I'll be expecting you." She hummed "He's Got the Whole World in his Hands", as she waited for Harper.
Minutes later, the two female detectives arrived. Erza asked, "Huh? You're not Harper."
Tengge said, "We should ask the same. I'm Detective Yomoda, and this is Detective Fuma. We've been ordered to ask Harper and Strowman."
"Oh… You're police." Erza nodded.
Lily said, "Yes, we believe that the murders of Eli Cottonwood and Erick Rowan were from their remaining brothers in the Wyatt Family."
Erza said, "Could be."
Lily asked, "So, what about you? Why are you in Luke Harper's apartment?"
"He's not home. I was invited to come over, by him."
Lily asked her, as Tengge shut the door, "Are you a friend of Mr. Harper?"
Erza nodded, "Why yes. I'm Erza Scarlet, and I'm a university teacher in Japan. I was offering to help educate his son."
Tengge said, "Well, Mr. Harper is a family man. Not to mention a cute kid like Brodie." She looked at a photo of a boy in a black and purple mask, with the stitching saying "Negative 1". Tengge said, "Perhaps we want to take you in for questioning."
Erza asked, "Excuse me?"
Lily said, "Yeah, you were the woman that was run over by Bray Wyatt, the day he was killed."
"Yeah, I was badly hurt. But the doctors were nice enough to heal me. Shame about Bray."
Lily asked, "What do you know about Bray?"
Erza gulped, as Tengge said, "Come on, lady. We'll talk this over at the police station, and see what the DA has to say. Your story is airtight, but we don't believe you."
Erza sat up and asked, "Are you policemen?"
Tengge giggled, "Only detectives, ma'am."
Erza grinned, "Goooooooooooood."
BANG!
She shot and killed Lily, as Tengge fired at Erza. Tengge was shot, too, and she fell to the ground. Erza fled from Harper's apartment, as Tengge cried in pain, "STOP!"
She ran out of the hotel and climbed the wall, into the roof. Three more detectives appeared, wearing gray outfits. Erza shot off her gun at them, and the girl in dark hair shot back. Erza escaped, only to be grazed in her left shoulder. The detective called, "This is Detective Shiranui. Two dead. This woman… She killed the two detectives during her escape. No, I couldn't get a clear look, but she wore the same outfit as the late Bray Wyatt…"

At Alexa's house, Harper and Strowman knocked on the door. Alexa opened it, and then she said, "Good morning."
Harper smiled, "Good morning, Alexa."
Alexa sobbed, "You're just in time!" She stepped back and Harper asked, "What's wrong?" He saw the place in a light mess and asked, "Did you have company? I believe Erick gave you the time of your life."
"It wasn't Erick."
Strowman asked, as he looked at her wrist, "Why are you wearing my watch? That was from me!"
Alexa said, "I don't know… Erick was late and-."
Harper barked, "LIAR! Erick Rowan was to come, but he never came!" he explained, "Didn't you read the papers, this morning? They found him dead, strangled to death, and jaw unhinged!"
Braun added, "His back was broken, neck snapped, and jaw broken off, JUST LIKE ELI!"
Alexa panicked, "I don't know anything about it!"
Harper asked, "Oh, yeah? Where did you get that watch? Braun said that Rowan never gave it to you! WHO DID?"
Alexa sobbed, "Someone came here, and she had the watch."
"She?"
"Her name was Bray Wyatt, and she acted like she was from Firefly Funhouse. But it was odd. It was a woman, pretending to be him."
Harper exclaimed, "And broadcast cosplayers from beyond the grave?! BULL! Bray's been dead for two weeks!"
Braun looked at the floor and saw a clue. It was a dead rabbit. He said, "Bray was here! LOOK!"
Harper said, "Aw, you're just playing games with me, are you?"
Braun roared, "I ain't kidding! Bray would never leave a rabbit alive."
Harper asked, "How did that get here? It wasn't here…"
Alexa gasped, "Oh, no! Rambling Rabbit?" She asked, "Wait… How did a live dead rabbit get into my hotel?"
Harper barked, "Only Bray can produce that stupid bunny! HE'S DEAD! END OF STORY!"
Alexa explained, "That's what I thought! This woman came and, well… She acted like Bray, but… Oh, it's hard to say… Lilly will tell you. She saw everything." She went to the secret panel and said, "She even stole Bray's belongings, and stared at the Wyatt Compound painting. She even acted and talked like Bray!"
Harper said, "Somebody from that hick town? Yeah… Bray died in that crash… and then somebody read him carefully…"
Strowman said, "If she knows about Bray, then she knows about the fortune!"
Harper added, "That would be the payoff. Bray possesses the woman, just to steal the fortune for herself, and to kill off all of us." He looked down on the ashtray and saw a matchbook. He asked her, "Where did you get that? SmackDown Hotel! WHERE?"
Alexa glared at him and said, "I don't know. But the woman did say… Just ask Rowan or Eli…" She held Lilly in her arms, and the doll giggled.

At the hotel, Chelsea was at the front desk. She got her key, as the clerk said, "Dr. Chelsea?"
"Yes?"
"You got visitors in Room 505."
"Thank you." Chelsea asked, "OH! Did Erza Scarlet return?"
"No, not yet." Chelsea left for her room.
Minutes later, she entered, and was shocked. She gasped, "Oh, no…"
It was a woman with long blonde hair, with Sheele and Lucy. Chelsea smiled, "Miss Heartfilia. I didn't expect you to come today."
Lucy H smiled, "I did. I overheard what happened to Erza, and I had to come over. I just wanna see Erza, right now. Where is she?"
Chelsea said, "She's out, but she'll be up later. But I don't know where."
Lucy H said, "But she's always with you."
Chelsea moaned, "You don't know the half of it. You won't like it, what I am going to tell you about…"
Sheele asked, "What is it?" The other Lucy nodded, as Chelsea explained, "I brought her here to New York, just to relax, and to avoid any convalescence from you. If you continue to pamper her, she'll be so invalid."
Sheele gasped, "But I was an excellent nurse!"
"I know… and I was trying to help her. The accident left her badly restless. I didn't want to hurt your feelings, and Erza rebelled, just in time. That's why I brought her here. She has to have a change."
Lucy H asked, "Is she better?"
"Pretty much, but by tomorrow, she'll be good as new. But I suggest that you leave her alone, and we'll return home, when she is ready under her own discord."
Lucy H nodded and said, "Alright. But I want to see her, soon enough. Sheele, Lucy, and I will be in our room, and we'll see her again."
Erza returned, as Lucy Heartfilia called, "THERE YOU ARE!" Chelsea stopped her and escorted her out, "NO! I said NO! Leave her alone!" She explained, as she threw them out, "I'm sorry, but it's not the right time to see her, so I will see you tomorrow, and when the time comes, we'll take the next train back to Tokyo! NOW PLEASE LEAVE!" Lucy H protested, "CHELSEA, WA-!"
SLAM!
Chelsea slammed the door and breathed heavily. She went to Erza's room and met with the injured Erza.
Erza moaned, "There you are… Man, that hurt. By the way, who were those ladies?"
"Never mind that. Where were you, and why were you injured?"
"I got nicked, by policemen!"
"What happened?"
"WHO WERE THOSE WOMEN?"
Chelsea barked, "Lucy Heartfilia, your friend. The other two are friends of mine."
"Oh… Erza's friends. I have no friends." Erza said, "I have Mercy the Buzzard! Abby the Witch! Rambling Rabbit!"
"THEY'RE JUST PUPPETS!"
"Well, maybe to you, but not to me. Kids love puppets!"
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU ARM?"
"The police asked me, and it's your fault!"
"MINE?!"
"They pressed me, and I was pressured! I acted as Erza Scarlet - University Teacher, but they didn't believe me!"
"Where were you, when you were shot?"
"Harper's apartment. Those two detectives tried to rat me out, and I shot back."
"YOU KILLED TWO POLICE WOMEN?!"
Erza pleaded, "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?! I'm bleeding here! Help me!"
Chelsea panicked, "HOW CAN I? You idiot! You'll be caught, before we find out about your fortune!" She covered her mouth, as Erza glared, "What do you know about my fortune?"
Chelsea shivered, "I…" Erza held up her "Hurt" glove and glared, "You know too much… Doctor…" She grabbed Chelsea's neck and hissed, "The doctor… is out…"
Chelsea grabbed her wrist and glared, "Now, you listen to me, Bray Wyatt. If you kill me, what becomes of you now? Do you know whose body it is?"
"Erza Scarlet!"
"Exactly!" Chelsea glared demonically and barked, "And if I die, no one can bring you back. How would you like to be Erza Scarlet, forever?"
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying the body you control is Erza's, but part of your brain is hers, and you can't control it!"
"That's ridiculous!" Erza cried, "Th-There's no way! I'm, or was, the Eater of Worlds! I got the whole world in my hands!"
"And on a second-hand female body with big boobs, mind you!" Chelsea shoved her down to her chair, "You killed Cottonwood… You killed Rowan! I SAW WHAT YOU DID! Last night, I saw you kill Rowan, lantern in hand, sheep mask on the corpse, I was there, looking for you! REMEMBER? And when you woke up, you woke up as Erza, NOT Bray! She complained about nightmares, not knowing what she'd do to them!"
Erza cried, "STOP IT!" She held her head, "I CAN'T THINK!"
"YES!" Chelsea cackled, "I made you not think! If I hadn't forced you back into Bray Wyatt, you wouldn't be around, tasting blood! You'd be in Tokyo, forever, as Erza Scarlet! NOT BRAY WYATT! YOU'RE A UNIVERSITY TEACHER! NOT THE EATER OF WORLDS! I CAN MAKE YOU FORGET YOU WERE BRAY WYATT!"
Erza screamed, "STOP! I SAID STOP!" She pleaded, "Why are you doing to me, doctor? No more… I promise… I will get the fortune, tonight. When I do, we divide it, 50-50. Deal?"
Chelsea smiled, "Deal. But from now on, you do exactly as I say. Don't forget… I saved your life… and I saved Erza's… I can end yours."
Erza bowed her head, as Chelsea said, "Now, let me fix your gun wound." She treated Erza's gunshot wound, as Erza was upset. Chelsea said to her, "As soon as I fix your wound, you go alone to get your fortune, and return here."
Erza moaned, "Anything you say."
XXXXX
Lucy H was talking with Sheele, "She's hiding something from me."
"Don't be ridiculous. Chelsea will tell you, when the time's right."
"But she's hiding from me! I worry over Erza, and I'm not staying here, any longer! Tomorrow, we return home, with Erza! But if she refuses, I'm going to get her a doctor from New York!"
Sheele told her, "Let me speak to her." She added, "I can convince her to come home with Erza. It's strange that she went with Erza, alone."
Lucy H said, "Well, you better. If she refuses, and Erza cannot talk to me, we're getting a doctor for her."
Sheele nodded and said, "Alright. I'm gonna talk to Chelsea, right now." She left the room, as Lucy H sat down.

As Erza was leaving to the swamp, Sheele was near the doorway. Chelsea approached her, as Sheele asked, "Well?"
"Well, what?"
"What's wrong with Erza?"
Chelsea sniffled, "I have a confession to make."
"Where's Erza now?"
"She left."
"What's gotten into her? Lucy's been upset that she wants to see her."
"Haven't you guessed?" Chelsea explained, "I made her this way. She's Bray Wyatt!"
"The guy that died, the same time Erza was badly injured?"
"Yes! The operation I performed was a brain transplantation! And the brain is partly that of Bray Wyatt!"
Sheele was shocked, "Why? Why did you do it? To your friend! It's illegal!"
"I KNOW!" Chelsea cried, "But don't you get it? I saved her life! My only thought was to keep her alive! But when I saw the progress it made, it was a new discovery of scientific studies!"
"MY ASS! You turned her into a psychopathic criminal! Wyatt's a psycho! A Murderer!"
"ALRIGHT! I KNOW! But in the meantime, I always knew what I studied was true - transplanted human brain cells will live and function! WHAT A TRIUMPH!"
"I'm no doctor, Chelsea… But what you did was destroy your best friend! Think what you were doing to Lucy! She'll not recognize Erza!"
"Oh, what difference does it make! I'm aware that it's illegal, but the study was proven to be accurate!"
Sheele pleaded, "But it's ruining people's lives, in the process! You're taking her home, tomorrow!"
"WHY?"
"Because it's the human thing to do."
Chelsea moaned in distrust, "I would… But I want to wait until… the experiment ends. But then Lucy Heartfilia will give me an earful…" She said, as she was worried, "Alright. As soon as Erza returns to Tokyo, she'll forget all about it. And when she returns tonight, we'll leave."
Sheele said, "You better give your word. If Lucy finds out, she'll get suspicious, and threaten to call a New York Doctor, and then the truth will be out! You had no legal right to operate on Erza. It could mean prison! And everything you have done for your career, and in the future, will be lost forever! You'll be disgraced for life! Because of ONE illegal operation!"
Chelsea bowed her head, "Alright, you win. Once Erza returns, we'll leave first thing, tomorrow morning. Please tell Lucy that."
Sheele smiled, "I'll tell her." She returned to her room, as Chelsea was upset.

Meanwhile, outside Alexa's room, Erza smiled to Alexa, "Now, I am going on a private ride, back to my swamp, my foregrounds! I have something planned for the both of us! You, me, and a fortune."
Alexa smiled, "Oh, yes! Lilly and I will be waiting for you!" She gave her the keys, as Erza smiled, "I don't want taxis following me! They are very naughty eavesdroppers."
Wah-wah-wah-wah…
Erza waved, "Bye-Bye, Alexa! See you in an hour or so!" She pranced off, as Alexa said, "Bye-Bye!" She giggled, and returned to her room. Harper and Strowman were waiting. Alexa's smile vanished, and her eyes went shadowy and black. She said, "She's headed to the Wyatt Swamp. The fortune's there. Kill her."
Harper chuckled, holding up his sledgehammer, "With pleasure. Once we have the fortune, we split, three ways."
Alexa said, "No problem. She's the girl with red hair, and with that black shirt and pants, like how Bray wore. She's taking my car."
Harper nodded, "Excellent. Let's go. It's not hard to follow."
Strowman grinned, "That little possessed demon… will GET! THESE! HANDS!"
They departed, as Alexa laughed evilly, while Lilly laughed with her.

At the Wyatt Compound, in the swamp, Erza went into the shack. Harper and Strowman were waiting for her.
Braun asked, "What I wanna know is why she knew about Bray, in the beginning. If I recall correctly, she was caught in the accident."
Harper smirked, "I wouldn't worry about that. I'm not afraid of Bray. Bray carried the secret to the fortune in his grave, yet she knows about the fortune."
"She is one bad puppy."
"And one puppy, that should be put down." He instructed, "We wait. She gets the fortune, we bludgeon her."
Erza was in the basement, and then pulled out a black box. She nodded, as she smirked, "Found ya, you bad boy…"
She left the shack, and approached the car. But…
"Going somewhere, Bray?" Harper called, as he and Strowman were waiting.
Erza chuckled, "Well, well, well… Luke Harper, and Braun Strowman… I made you, and I can break you, like Eli & Rowan… They died, because you killed me." She rubbed her breasts and smiled, "There are definite perks to be reborn."
Harper called, "Hand it over."
"No." She stepped back, "Now unless you kill me now, chuck my corpse into the swamp, well… you'd have to dive 200 feet below for it. I'm not letting this go."
Harper glared, "Just hand it over, and we'll let you live. We only want the fortune."
Erza put the box down and grinned. She roared, as she held her arms out, "YOU WANT IT? COME GET IT!" she glared, "I'm here."
Harper said to Braun, "Watch her. I got this one." He went closer to her, hammer in hand, and chuckled. He roared and swung down at Erza. She avoided it, and she threw Harper into the swamp. Braun roared, "BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUN!" He ran after her, and he tackled her down.
Braun and Erza exchanged blows, but he was able to pin her down. "I don't care if you ARE Bray! I'M! NOT! FINISHED WITH YOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!"
Erza broke out and clasped his jaw. She swung Braun around, and bent Braun back. She kissed him, and swung down to the ground, landing a Sister Abigail to Braun. She stuck her hand into his mouth and pinned him down. She cackled, "NO, Braun! You are finished! You just couldn't have the strength to break me, didn't you?"
She locked in the Mandible Claw onto Braun. But while she was locking it in, Harper emerged from the water and snatched the money box. He escaped, just as soon as Braun passed out. Erza laughed, as she killed Braun Strowman. "Black sheep… You're done…"
"BRAY!" A puppet of Mr. McMahon with devil horns appeared from the front porch of Bray's shack, "What the hell are you doing, DAMMIT? While you were ending Braun Strowman, the damned Luke Harper took your fortune, DAMMIT! I don't care about your female body, but it's such good shit! But if you don't get that fortune back in your hands! Yoooooooou're… YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU'RE FIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRED!"
Erza nodded, as she turned to the dead Braun, "Monster… This is where the story ends." She lifts Braun up. She then smirked, "Monster Among Men… You knew that one day you'd break me. But tonight, you didn't. Say HI to Rowan and Eli for me… And don't worry." She heaved Braun into the swamp, and his body sank into the water below. She hissed, "Luke will be a-waiting, for you brothers."
She returned to the car, and headed back to the club.

Alexa was having tea with Lilly, as a knock on the door was made. She answered it and smiled, "Hello!"
Harper moaned, as he rushed in, damp and tired out, "Never mind that! Where's the kitchen?"
Alexa said, "Over there. Did you get it?"
Harper nodded, "Yeah. Fortune is ours! Get me a drink to celebrate! HURRY!" He went to the kitchen and tried to break the lock. Alexa asked, "Where's Braun?" Harper said, "Bray got him. But sacrifices must be made. The split is now 50-50."
"And Lilly!" Alexa giggled. "She gets a cut of it."
Harper ignored it, and broke the lock of the Wyatt Fortune. He smiled, "HAHAHAHAHAHA! We got it!"
The door knocked, as it was in the tune of Live in Fear. Alexa whispered, "It's him." Harper rushed into the closet, after he hid the box in the oven. Alexa answered the door, as Erza was waiting for her.
"You're late. I was worried about you."
Erza said, "Aw, don't be worried. I ran into trouble." She glared, "Harper and Strowman…"
Alexa said, "Luke wasn't in here, I know that."
"Then why are you holding a stiff drink? Don't you know alcohol can kill you?"
"Oh, it's Lilly's drink, but I took it from her. Naughty Lilly!" She asked, "What happened to you?"
"Harper and Strowman followed me to the swamp." She said, "Now I know why you never waited for me. They were there."
"Don't! You have to believe me! I haven't seen Luke in six weeks!"
Erza then noticed muddy footprints and then glared, "What is that, then?"
"Lilly did that, too! My naughty Lilly, she can be a sloppy housekeeper."
Erza walked to the kitchen and hissed, "Yes, but the feet are huge!" She looked around the kitchen, and noticed the footprints lead to the closet. Alexa cried, "WAIT! NO! There's no one here! Lilly did it! I swear!" Erza glared at her and said, "Stay here…" Alexa stayed in place, as she approached the closet. She locked the door and asked, "You got that hammer with you, Harper?"
Harper tried to open the door, but he growled, "LET ME OUT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"I know you're in there!" She laughed, "You and the Monster, you tried to double-cross me! Now I see why Alexa is consent over the fortune. You and Strowman were following me! But the monster's dead. Sank below in the quay! And you… you're next."
"WAIT! There's no air here! Let me out! I can explain!"
Erza chuckled, as she pushed the refrigerator to the door, blocking Harper's only exit. "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that! You and my brothers killed me! All because of our fortune! No… MY fortune! My fortune… You shouldn't have sent your bulldogs to come after me! NOW WHERE IS IT?"
Harper tried to break out, but he was shut tight, "I SWEAR! LET ME OUT! YOU WANTED THE DAMN MONEY, RIGHT?"
Alexa was stunned, as the lights flickered. Erza snarled, "Where is it?"
Harper cried, "OKAY! Let me out! I hid the fortune! In the oven! LET ME OUT! There's no air!" He was pounding the door, screaming, "LET ME OUT! YOU GOT YOUR MONEY! IT'S IN THE OVEN! IN THE OVEN! I SWEAR TO YOU! I WASN'T GOING TO BETRAY YOU! LET ME OUT! THERE'S NO AIR IN HERE!"
Erza opened the oven, but the lights went out. Alexa gasped, as Erza changed into a demonic form, with braided hair, a black jacket, and a white demonic mask. She has become… The Fiend Erza Scarlet. She pulled out the money box, and placed it on top of the stove. Harper was screaming and coughing, running out of oxygen, as Alexa was frightened. Erza held up her right hand, which said "HURT". Alexa sobbed, as she was standing in place, "I beg of you… Don't hurt me…"
The Fiend chuckled, and then…
GRASP!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The Fiend grabbed Alexa and choked her out with the Mandible Claw. She was planted on the floor, gagging and moving around. Her demonic laughs echoed around the kitchen, as the lights flashed red. Harper was fading, as he was coughing, trying to get out. The Fiend screamed, as Alexa's arms and legs went limp. Her eyes widened, her mouth was locked open, and tears flowed down her eyes. The Fiend laughed, as he let go of Alexa, who is now dead.
She grabbed the money box and turned to Alexa's body. She cackled, "Hahahahahahaahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" She then turned to the 4th wall and boomed, "LET ME IN!"
The lights went out and back on, and The Fiend vanished, taking the Wyatt Family Fortune with her. Bray Wyatt's vengeance was finally completed.

Erza was back to normal, still as Bray Wyatt, as she retreated to a taxi. She called, "TAXI!"
The driver was waiting, as she had long purple hair. "Yeah? Hang on."
Erza went into the taxi, and the driver said, "Where to?"
"West Lane Airport." Erza moaned, tired out.
The driver said, "No problem." She yawned, "Pardon the yawn. Late night."
"I know… Beautiful night… hear those fireflies light up."
"Oh, not in this big city."
The taxi drove away, as Erza fell asleep, holding the box in her hand. The Wyatt Family's fortune was finally unearthed, and Erza Scarlet was in hold of it.
Minutes later, they arrived at the airport. The driver called, "We're here! West Lane Airport! HEY! West Lane Airport! Hey, wake up!"
Erza woke up and asked, "Huh?"
The driver snarled, "You heard me. West Lane Airport!"
Erza looked around and was confused. She moaned, "Just… Take me to the SmackDown Hotel."
She relaxed, as the driver sighed, "Alright… SmackDown Hotel. I ain't making the orders, I just drive you there."
After that, the taxi arrived at the hotel. The driver called, "Hey! SmackDown Hotel!"
Erza moaned, "Thanks…"
"$14.80. I charged you extra for the trip to the airport."
Erza gave the driver a $20 bill and said, "Here, keep the change."
She stepped out, as the driver called, "WAIT! You forgot your box!"
Erza took the box and said, "My goodness." As she departed, the driver gasped, seeing the bill. It wasn't a twenty. It was a thousand dollar bill!
"A thousand dollars?" She held up the bill and asked, "Whoa… She's rich?"
XXXXX
At the hotel, Erza was all by herself, tired out and holding the money box. She sat down and moaned. Chelsea returned, as she asked, "Erza! Where have you been?"
Erza moaned, "I don't… know… I found myself in a taxi, and I don't know how I got here."
Chelsea hugged her and smiled, "It's alright. I'm glad you're safe."
"Were you worried about me?"
She took the box and said, "I'll put it in a safe place. You go get some sleep."
She lied down and smiled, "Thanks, pal."
Chelsea prepared her medicine, as she asked, "Oh, by the way, Sheele and Lucy came, along with Miss Heartfilia."
"Lucy?"
"Yes." She gave her some medicine and water, and said, "Here, take this, and you get some rest." Erza went to sleep, as Chelsea smiled, whispering, "Now, don't you worry about anything. We're going home. And everything will be gone, like nothing happened. Tomorrow, everything will be alright."
She then took the money box and smiled, as she retired to her room.

But as Erza slumbers…
"WYATT FAMILY NO MORE!
Moments after two detectives were shot and killed in Luke Harper's apartment, The Wyatt Family Killer struck again, now extinguishing the entire brotherhood. Luke Harper and Alexa Bliss were found dead in their hotel room. Alexa was strangled to death, similar to how Rowan and Cottonwood died. However, Luke Harper died of suffocation, after being locked and trapped inside a closet. The entire Wyatt Family followers were being arrested, looking to find the killers of their original generation, to no success. The mysterious killer remains at large. In a related story, Braun Strowman was also dead, near the Wyatt Family Compound. His body was nowhere to be found."
It was done. Erza & Chelsea were finally ready to go home. They paid the bill, but were stopped by two detectives.
"Excuse me." A detective in blue hair asked, "I'm Detective Himeno. Are you Erza Scarlet?"
Erza nodded, "Yes?"
Himeno said, "I would like for you to come with me."
Chelsea asked, "Wait, I'm her doctor. Can I join her? She had a very bad week, and just recovered."
Himeno nodded, "Yes, ma'am. I can do that. I want to ask her about last night."
Erza smiled, "I won't be long. Can you hurry? I wanna make it to my train on-time."
Himeno said, "I'm sure everything will be explained. Let's go."
They departed to the station, as Lucy, Lucy H, & Sheele headed to the train station.

Moments later, they were at the chief's office. She explained, "Thank you for your time, Miss Scarlet. I believe this will provide evidence. A cab driver had this money with her, when she was paid for the fare."
She showed her the $1,000 bill, as Erza gasped, "Whoa… A rare bill?"
The chief said, "And you gave her that for a tip."
"Yeah? But I would never do that. I don't have that kind of money… All I remembered was that I was in a cab, after I woke up… And that kind of money is too much on my account."
The chief replied, "Then why the thousand dollars?"
"I thought it was a 20."
"Well, we're holding the driver for investigation. Bring the driver in. What is your occupation?"
"University Teacher. I study literature. And if you may, I'm very underpaid."
The driver appeared, as the chief asked her, "Is this the woman?"
Erza and Chelsea gasped, as did the driver. She said, "Her? No way. This is a girl that is crazy to the head. She was cuddling that box like it was a teddy bear. But she's nowhere near her. The girl I met was a drunk woman."
Erza said, "Oh, obviously, it was because of one of those tramps."
The chief excused them all and apologized, "I'm sorry for your time. You're free to go." Chelsea said, "We have no time. We have to hurry to the station."
They departed to the train station, as the taxi driver left the police station.
And so, Erza & Chelsea's drama with the Wyatt Family drama finally ended. Chelsea and Erza Scarlet returned to Tokyo, and were finally happy.
"At last, we've returned to Tokyo. The Bray Wyatt brain has become completely dormant now. Erza has resumed her duties as teacher, while I plan for the future. My plans for a great laboratory and giving the world the benefit of my scientific knowledge will finally be realized. And it's all thanks to Bray Wyatt."
August 30th
It was now August 30th, as Erza addressed her class.
"Class? As you know, I have been gone for so long, but I am happy to say that I am going to be sticking around for a while longer. Anyways, starting Friday, we are going to have a special pop quiz."
The students grumbled, as Erza said, "No, it's alright. It's only to study the two weeks of your past lessons, and I promise that this will be very helpful. However, we are to end class early… and I apologize. But my friend, Chelsea, is leaving Tokyo. So-."
She suddenly heard a siren, and then she paused. She gasped, "Wha-? What is that noise?"
One student said, "It's possibly an ambulance, or a police car."
And then, it happened. In the students, ghosts appeared from within Erza's mind. They were the ghosts of The Wyatt Family and Alexa Bliss, and those she killed, along the way. She heard the voices, as she was shaken in fright.
Erza gasped, as she sobbed, "Leave me alone… No… Leave me alone! Who are you people?"
(Child): He's got the whole world… in his hands…
(Bray): You can't kill me!
(Rowan): You cannot kill the family!
(Child): He's got the whole wide world… in his hands…
(Braun): GET! THESE! HANDS!
(Alexa): The evil is mine! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(Distorted child): He's got the whole world… in his hands…
(The Fiend laughs evilly)
(Harper): Run!
(Braun): I'M NOT! FINISHED WITH YOU!
(Rowan): We're coming!
(Distorted Child): He's got the whole world… in his…
(Bray): LET ME IN!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Erza shrieked, as she planted her head down on the desk. The students ran to her, as they were trying to help her. One student cried out, "QUICK! Quick, get a doctor!"
Erza lifted her head up, and she was in a trance. She walked out of the classroom, and headed off.
XXXXX
Chelsea was packing up, as Sheele said, helping her, "I'm gonna miss you, Chelsea. I know it's sad to see you leave, but I'm happy you saved Erza's life, back then."
"I know." Chelsea smiled, "But I am sorry that Erza cannot see me off."
Sheele said, "I'll tell her that you said goodbye."
Chelsea went to get dressed, as Sheele called, "I packed all of your tools in the briefcase!"
"Thanks!" Chelsea called back.
Erza appeared and busted down the door. Sheele gasped, "Erza!"
Erza glared at her, "Where is she?"
"Who? Oh, Chelsea. She-."
Erza called, "WHERE ARE YOU, DOCTOR?" She spread her arms out, "Where are you?"
She has suddenly reverted back to being Bray Wyatt. She hissed, as she said, "You… Where is she?"
Sheele gasped, "Wait… What's wrong with you? Why are you angry?"
"You tell the doctor… She knows better than to double-cross me. He… never forgets." She held up the Hurt Glove and grinned, "She has my fortune. We promised 50-50… but she backed down! Ran away with it! DOCTOR!"
Sheele cried, "STAY AWAY! I don't even know what you're even talking about!"
Erza grinned evilly and grabbed Sheele by the neck. She shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Erza cackled demonically, as she held up her hand, with the Hurt Glove. But Chelsea rushed in and cried, "BRAY!"
Erza turned to her, and then…
BANG!
Chelsea shot Erza in the chest. She collapsed to the floor, and Chelsea dropped her gun. She sobbed, "No… What have I done?"
She ran to her and shrieked, "ERZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
She held her, as Erza was dying. All of the influence of Bray Wyatt was disappearing, this time, for good. Erza gasped for air, and she held her hand. "Chelsea… Why?"
Chelsea was sobbing, as Erza whispered, losing air, "Chel… sea… … … Why?" She stopped breathing, and died.
Chelsea held her hand and wept, holding her hand with the "Heal" glove on. She was bawling, not only because she killed Erza… it's because she lost a true friend. Erza's last words to Chelsea was… "Why?"
"I think you know the answer now, Erza."
Maebara was reading the last page of Chelsea's notes, as he looked up. Chelsea's severed head was placed in a small display, on a metal pike, as her hair was flowing in the wind. After that, the rest was told. Chelsea was sentenced to death, for the murder of Erza Scarlet. Though, she never told anyone about The Wyatt Family or Erza's brain transplant operation.
He shook his head and read one final page.
"To whoever now owns my notes and research, I am leaving them all to you, in the hope that someday, in better hands than mine, some good may come of them."

This story is in memory of Brodie Lee (real name Jon Huber) who died in December of 2020. Huber was famous for his role in WWE as Luke Harper, and AEW as Brodie Lee, The Exalted One of the Dark Order. This fanfic is in memory of his honor.
Also, this was made days after Bray Wyatt was unexpectedly and shockingly released from WWE. And since it made an impact in our fanfic world and our wrestling world, here's hoping Bray Wyatt returns, someday.
Thanks for reading!
