Then an anguished scream echoed out of the door as three shadowy figures burst in. Mundo's and Qilin's snapped at those who entered only to have them brought to the ground the second time, Shi Long tackled Mundo to the ground, Qilin was knocked down by Ralos and Luna. Caught by surprise, Mundo dropped the knife tainted with Liuxang's blood.

"Shi Long help me!" Qilin screamed.

That distracted Shi Long, giving enough time for Mundo to punch him. In response Luna throttled Qilin.

"Don't you dare call him that!" she screamed," only the real Qilin calls him that!"

The real ... Qilin?

Amazingly, she laughed. That eerie maniacal laugh that could send shivers to a person's spine. A laugh that the two prosecutors' and Shi Long's ears had heard. Shi Long paused as he pinned Mundo down with his weight.

"I knew it," Shi Long said with his eyes narrowed. He used his fury to fuel his punch, and the sickening sound of flesh connecting bone made him crave more.

But unfortunately, the twins were not as strong as Shi Long, the impostor sent Luna off her with a kick that connected to Luna's stomach, with her arm she punched Ralos's chest, directly hitting his solar plexus.

"You were always mom's little followers," the impostor said angrily, she targeted Luna because she was the nearest and kicked her yet again. "You made us sick. Mom is weak, thinking of compassion and doing things right but that made her weak." Another kick punctuated her sentence.

Ralos jumped to the impostor's back, he used his arms not only to grip her but to throttle her. "Is it? Luna protected me from you and Mundo, and I did the same for her. We had something to protect, that made us stronger! You? You just protected yourselves, when dad killed mom, you followed him just so that he could teach you to be stronger along with Mundo. And that so-called strength you have is a disease, it's called Madness."

The impostor snapped. In a frenzy, She banged Ralos to the wall. Hard. "I. Am. Not. Mad!" She punctuated each word with ramming Ralos to the wall. Finally Ralos, weakened, fell off and Qilin grabbed him by the collar and again rammed him to the wall.

Ralos knew he shouldn't but if this was going to be his last moment, he might as well do it. "Denial, the first stage of madness."

Qilin flung him to the floor and before she could stomp on him, Mundo was flung at her.

"How many names do you have?" Shi Long asked the impostor.

"What do you mean Shi Long? I am Qilin!"

"No you're not. Talk."

Before the impostor could deny again, Luna's knife was at her throat. "I'll speak for her, Agent Lang."

"We'll speak for her," Ralos corrected as he weakly tried to get up.

They both said in chorus," She is neither Qilin and neither was she Shih-Na. Cinn Esther was her monicker because it was a play on sinister. The prosecutors met her. You met her. Her names are plenty, Calisto Yew, Shih-nah, Yatagarasu, Qilin, so much more. But her name, her real name is Stella de Killer. Our sister."

"I've always known you were an impostor, but I was too patient, thinking with time you would lead me to your leader. I was wrong, Shih-nah, you're still as talented as ever, I have underestimated you. Had I not, then –" Shi Long flicked a regretful glance at Huoniao's body " – then a life wouldn't have been lost."

"How does it feel," Luna taunted as she made the knife Mundo had dropped touch Stella's neck," to have your life in someone else's hands?"

Her answer shocked them. "Exhilarating."

Stella elbowed Luna's ribs hard enough for her to fall. The knife fell from Luna's hands, on Mundo, as if on cue, leapt to Ralos.

"How does it feel Ralos to be at my mercy again, and this time even "uncle" won't save you?" Mundo asked.

"Hasn't anyone told you to pick on your own size?" Shi Long retorted. He kicked Mundo off Ralos.

Luna was wrestling with Stella on who could be the first to get the knife.

"Stars versus the moon, who will win?" Stella asked. "Hmmm, I don't know, for one thing they're much more plentiful than the moons." She rammed Luna with her head.

Luna flinched and released Stella.

"Second, stars are bigger than moons."

Then Stella picked up the knife. She grasped it with both hands and prepared to plunge it into Luna when another bloody knife came flying.

It whizzed past Stella, grazing her face. Everyone turned to see Kay holding another bloody knife from Huoniao's body.

"YOU!" Stella screamed. "You've made my life a living hell!"

She ran to Kay at an inhuman speed, just then Huang Gan flew to Stella attacking her face. She tried batting the white owl away but the owl was persistent.

"It's taking effect," Mundo murmured. The others turned to him and they saw Mundo's once broken arm knit itself, though unproperly.

"Oh my God," Ralos said.

"You idiot!" Luna muttered through her teeth.

"What's happening?" Franziska whispered.

They seem to have injected some atroium cells into their bloodstream.

"Fiona?" Franziska almost forgetting to whisper.

I'm speaking to you telepathically.

What's happening? Franziska thought now.

Atroium cells react violently to things they are not genetically compatible with.

So?

Those two bloody idiots will probably die after a few minutes though sadly they would be given inhuman abilities for a short while.

Side-effects?

Madness. Paranoia. Schizophrenia. Neurosis.

Hell.

Worse.

Stop that.

Liuxang was still lying facedown but his hand was starting to twitch.
