The clouded red sky had been the only color above many of the citizen's heads. Only the sounds of screams had been heard throughout the streets, both from the living, and the dying. Many of the people had been cornered as several Mages from the castle themselves did whatever they could to protect those that couldn't fight back.

A single man stood above the chaos as he could only laugh at how many of the men and women ran for their lives while the corpses practically helped themselves to a feast. This man in particular, appeared to be in his early twenties with Long Light purple hair and had a skinny build. He was wearing dark purple pants along with an eyepatch as he gave out a maniacal laugh.

"Destroy!" He shouted, "Destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy! Destroy all the fools who can't understand my worth!"

He soon noticed down below a couple of mages had been fighting against the corpses, though he could see from where he stood, they didn't have any effect-Even after their limbs were torn off, or their chests had been pierced.

He only laughed, "Like hell that's going to work!"

He soon jumped down from where he stood as he put his hand on the floor. An eerie black portal opened up beneath his feet as more of the same corpses as the Mages looked horrified.

"W-What the hell are these things?!" The Mage exclaimed.

"You're worst nightmare-" Rades said before he shouted, "Die! Die! DIE YOU SCUM!"

The corpses charged at the Mages with an aggressive speed; but in the, despite their attacks, they ended up getting trampled, and ultimately eaten by them.

The man laughed louder at this, "You're stronger than me, right?! Right!? GET OUT HERE-MAGIC KNIGHTS!"

The man continued to laugh as the chaos and destruction continued; though he seemed to have stopped when a certain set of corpses approached him, as he seemed to have remembered something.

"Right-Gotta take care of that first." He said before he turned to them, "So-Did you find the Familiars and the Princess?"

The corpse groaned in response and appeared to make gestures as he understood.

"What?!" He said shocked, "The Captains are their bodyguards?!" He let out a shout as he punched the closest corpse within range, "DAMN IT! THAT'S JUST MAKING THIS HARDER!"

He clicked his tongue as he noticed the corpse making more gestures. "They're in the sewers, going towards the castle?" He said before his smile returned, "Well then-Two can play at this little game."

He soon opened his grimoire before it glowed.

"Soul Corpse Magic-No. 3 David!"

He thrusted his hand to the ground as an odd looking corpse emerged from the black void. The corpse had been a fat figure; it was completely covered in a patchwork of baggy clothes. The hood over its head has three eye-shaped brooches, and a leather strap passes over its left shoulder and connects to one that wraps around its waist. Its hands are bound in dark bandages and its feet are replaced by peg legs.

It let out a groan as it looked towards the man.

"David-" The man said as his smile stayed, "-Cut off their route to the castle. Bring me the Princess and her Familiars alive. As for the rest-If they get in your way." He chuckled, "Kill them all."


-Nearby; Magic Parliament Cell Building-

Many of the mages that were stationed within the building had gone to assist in helping as many people as they could as they had been stalling till the Magic Knights that had been available showed up to help. However, neither of them couldn't prepare for what had happened within the cells, as one prisoner in particular took advantage of the chaos.

Many of the mages that were on guard or patrol had been on the floor, bleeding out, as most of them had been unmoving from the series of cuts they had; one even looked to have a card stuck in their back.

Hywel-Stepped towards a man that had been trying his best to crawl away, but he didn't succeed as he stepped on his leg making him cringe.

"P-Please stop…" The Mage pleaded with him as Hywel's expression had been cold, like he had been a walking corpse himself.

With the card glowing in his hand, he slit the throat of the poor mage before he stepped out of the building towards the chaos, dressed in nothing but rags, as his grimoire had been stained with a bit of red.

"...Karasu…" He spoke softly as he couldn't help but recall why he had been in there in the first place.

One memory in particular had lit a fire of anger, as he could see Karasu protecting a Royal-The very thing he had despised.

His hands shook as he could feel his rage boiling up. Not even caring at the fact the corpses were approaching him, he let out a scream that echoed throughout the area almost as though the fires had carried his voice.

-Castle-

Many of the Magic Knights didn't know what to think of the situation at hand.

Neither of them couldn't believe what it was they were just told. The kingdom, nay the very capital itself had been under siege. They knew about the barrier that was in place, and yet it was actually happening. Everyone in the kingdom had now been in danger-Including one certain Princess.

"The Royal Capital is under attack?!" Fugeleon said shocked, "How?!"

"T-The barrier fell just now!" The Mage replied, "We're not sure what happened!"

Asta, Yuno and Feodora had a worrisome look as they could only think of one person in particular. "My God-" Feodora said, "-Prism is down there…"

"-Damn it-!" Asta exclaimed, as he hit his fist on the table, "-I should've stayed with her, I we-"

"DAMN IT ALL!" Feodora shouted, "Even after we promised her-"

"Guys-" Yuno told them, "-Getting mad isn't going to help."

"He's got a point." Pluck added as he got his swords. "The only thing We CAN do is barricade these things and go and help!"

"Besides-" Akiko said to them, "-She's with Captains Yami and Jack. They're not gonna let anything happen to her under their watch."

"And I'm frustrated too-" Yuno said to them, "-Especially since we said we would look after her. But right now, the best way to help her is by figuring out where we should go from here. And what it is exactly that's attacking us."

Asta and Feodora, though both still looked upset by this sort of thing, they could see they had made a good point about it. They each nodded before they heard Nozel speak up.

"We're going to need a map-" He said, "-Does anyone here know of a spell to make one?"

Siren soon stepped forward as he had gotten out his grimoire, "Stone Creation Magic-Stone Model of the World."

The group had been taken back when they could see what looked to be the model of the entire Clover Kingdom in a matter of seconds, leaving most of the Knights in shock and awe as they could even see some parts of the model looked to be on fire. They could even hear the sound of voices coming from the model.

"A-Three Dimensional Model of the Nobel Realm?" Klaus said, shocked.

"Okay that's really cool!" Fafanar said.

"W-Wow!" Asta said, shocked.

"Showoff." Feodora said with a roll of her eyes.

Pluck had said as he started to write everything down, even going as far as to sketch, "Wow, you even got everything and I mean everything to detail, even the rocks and the people! I'm surprised this must be one of the rare types!"

Siren gave a blush as he said, "Oh T-thank you."

"Down boy." Feodora said as she pinched his ear.

"Holy cats, I can even hear people screaming in there!" Morwyn said, "And see their mana levels! He's just lacing the entire area with his mana!"

"He's actually doing this while all that craziness is happening?!" Arfau said, "That's more advanced than Mimosa's Flower Guidepost-" He soon turned to her, "-No offense there Mimosa."

"None taken, I'm just as impressed as you are." Mimosa said.

"Damn it-" Charlotte said as she looked over the chaos, "-How could this have happened?"

"They're attacking multiple places simultaneously without us noticing-" Fugeleon said, "-It must mean someone with Spatial Magic maritilized all of them in an instant."

"With the barrier down, who knows how many more attackers there are." Nozel said.

"We'll have to assume there's only five of them." Fugeleon said, "We should assign the members we currently have according to the different sectors and assign more guards to the Castle, just in case."

Asta, Feodora and Yuno looked shocked at this; they knew very well who was in the capital right now, and what had been at stake. They wouldn't brush her aside like that.

"What about Prism and her Familiars?" Yuno asked, "Shouldn't you send people for them?"

"Despite how they are, Yami and Jack know the protocol." Fugeleon told him, "They've most likely evacuated them by now and are making their way here as we speak."

Nozel only gave a look as he said, "And that's supposed to make this any better?"

"Unless you got a better idea, Nozel?" Pluck asked with a raised eyebrow.

Nozel looked to Pluck with a look as he said "Perhaps you're next to be punished."

"Not the time you guys!" Fafanar said as he pulled Pluck away from Nozel with the help of Akiko.

"I understand you're still upset about the Dungeon Mission her highness partook in, especially with the condition she was in back then-" Fugeleon said, "-But now's not the time for personal grudges. We need to trust them to take care of her."

"Okay but why in the heck are you waiting?!" Asta said as it had shocked them, "We need to be out there helping the people right now! I'm gonna go!"

Feodora laughed as she gave a smirk, "My thoughts exactly-" The ice gauntlets soon formed around her arms and hands as she clenched her fists together, "-Let's go kick some asses."

Asta smiled at her before he and her took off towards the door as it left most of them shocked. "Asta! Feodora!" Noelle called out, "Wait!"

"Where are you two going to go?!" Klaus said, "We don't know the full situation yet and Asta-You can't sense any magic at all!"

"He can't, but I sure as hell can!" Feodora told him.

"And even though I can't-" Asta said, "-I'll just go to where it's the loudest!"

"Are you some kind of animal or something!?" Klaus said shocked.

Leopold soon gave a laugh, "Interesting! Very well, let's see what you're made of!" Leopold soon took off running after Asta and Feodora, "Wait for me Asta my rival!"

"Hold on for a sec!" Pluck said as he ran with Fafnar holding on and Akiko trying to hold on only to be off as she landed on Noelle and Fafanar on the ground.

"No Pluck!" Fafanar said, "You can't hog all the fun-" He soon took off shocking Pluck, "-I'll go this time!"

"Fafanar!" Morwyn and Arfau shouted.

Pluck had yelled as his jaw had been wide open, "EH?! Seriously?!"

"CATCH UP WITH YOU LATER YOU GUYS-!" Fafanar called out as he ran out the door, "-OFF TO SAVE PEOPLE!"

"Oh! Faf!" Morwyn exclaimed. "Arfau, wait here."

"EHH?!" Arfau exclaimed before looking at Noelle; immediately he had a smile on his face as he slid next to Noelle, "I mean can do sis, I'll hold down the fort!"

Noelle only gave a groan as she rolled her eyes at this, "Good lord."

Pluck only gave Arfau a look, "Really? Now's not the time."

"Hey, it's not like you're dating her or anything." Arfau asked

"Don't be gross." Pluck said with a look.

Sol only shook her head, "Men are really hopeless, huh sis?"

"Indeed." Charlotte said, "Also call me Captain."

"Kay sis." She replied.

"Leo's still very much a child." Fugeleon commented, "I'll have to thoroughly retrain him later." He soon turned to the rest of the group, "I'm sure you'd rather not take orders from me, but listen well Magic Knights!" The knights in the room nodded their heads, "I'll go after the Black Bulls boy and the others. After I've joined them, we'll head to the northern district."

As quick as this was said, with the help of his fire magic, Fugeleon manifested a large lion, entirely made of flames before hopping on its back.

"Barbados, Noelle, Arfau-" Fugeleon said, "-Come with me!"

"Yes sir." Noelle said with hesitation.

"Yes sir!" Arfau added with a nod before he along with Noelle hopped on his back.

"EHH?! WHY ME?!" Pluck asked. "I was gonna go with Asta and Feodora!"

"Now's not the time to argue-" Arfau said, "-A captain gave us an order you know!"

Pluck flinched before he said, "Don't use my words against me." he got on Fuegoelon's back as he gave a grumble, "It's like a higher power's punishing me just because i'm with my family's enemy or something, what's next i suddenly start dating her?" His face soon paled at this, "Ana Latta as me, I hope not."

"Where did that come from?" Noelle asked as she looked a bit disturbed.

"Silver Eagles-" Fugeleon said as Nozel, Nebra and Solid took to the skies, "-I ask that you head to the central district where the magic is the strongest."

"Very well." Nozel said.

"Blue Roses-" He said as Sol manifested a golem, with her, Akiko and Charlotte riding on its back, "-Head to the east district!"

"I'd rather not take orders from a man-" Charlotte said, "-But I suppose I have no choice."

"Well said Captain!" Akiko said.

"Here we go sis!" Sol said.

"Golden Dawn-" He said, "-Split into teams of two and head to the west and northwest districts."

"We will protect the noble's realm." Alecdora said as they had been on gusts of wind courtesy of Yuno.

He soon said to all of them, "And one more thing-You all know by now what the Princess looks like. I don't need to express how important and vital she is. If you see her without one of the captains-Do whatever you can to protect her."

"Yes sir!" The Knights said.

"Let us go!" Klaus said as he had been riding in a familiar metal cart as Siren and Hamon had been on the cart.

Hammon sighed, "I guess we'll have to save desert for later."

"You don't gotta think about food all the time!" Arafu said.

"Everyone-" Fugeleon said, "-If we fail to protect the royal capital-If we fail to protect the true heir to the throne-We'll bring shame upon the Magic Knights! Don't let the enemy escape no matter what!"

"Right!" The Knights and Captains said.

With that said, they quickly dispersed to their designated areas of the royal capital ready to defend the people. Though neither of them had seemed to realize, there had been one more person inside the very room filled with food.


-Underground; Somewhere Near the North and South District-

Prism tried desperately to block out the noise from above as they continued to move at a fast pace. She tried to think about something else to at least calm herself down; but when the sounds came again she could feel her anxiety rise again.

They had been within the sewers for-Two hours by anyone's count, and some of the people above had the same idea they did. Unfortunately-It didn't stay safe for long as some of the corpses managed to follow them inside and started to attack the nearest person.

The ones that tried to attack the group, they were quick to clear a path and help as many people as they could. Yami and Jack sliced two more corpses that had been about to attack a couple that had been frozen with fear.

"Go!" Yami told the frightened people, "Get as far as you can!"

The frightened people got up as they quickly trekked through the waters as fast as they could.

"KEKE-They just keep coming huh?!" Jack asked as he sliced a couple of them.

"Ewww-" Theodore said as he had been riding in Prism's pouch with Adrien and some of the spirits, "-They keep coming back like roaches."

"Is it weird to say we were better off in the house?!" Aisling said before tossing some white spheres at the corpses as they blew up on contact.

"No no! You're right on that one!" Vandy added before he shrieked when a corpse went to grab him from behind.

"GET AWAY FROM MY NEPHEW!" Gooden yelled before she used her magic. "NEON MAGIC: NEON CHAIN!" Soon a neon whip began to form from her hand as she wiped one of the corpses. Vandy sighed with relief as did Gooden when the corpse fell.

"Damn it-" Nolan said as he quickly brought the other corpses down while his palamute Zeus struck a few more down, "-Marx-How much farther is it?!"

"It shouldn't be long now!" Marx replied, "If we keep going down this tunnel, we should reach the central sewer."

"I sure hope you're right-" Karasu said as he gagged a little as he leaned against the wall, "-This smell isn't exactly helping me…"

"Are you okay Aniki?" Sachiko asked.

"Karasu?" Prism said with worry as she looked to be struggling to breathe, "Are you feeling alright?"

"This damn bug-" Karasu said, "-It made my nose sensitive… Now the sewer smell I'm so used to, is REALLY messing with my stomach."

"I know it's hard, but you need to hold out for a little while longer." Nolan told him.

Yami added, "Yeah! Walk it off!"

"It's not like anyone can walk off a fever you know!" Karasu told him before gagging again.

"Maybe we should stop for a little while." Saorise suggested as she helped Karasu to stand, "Just so everyone can catch their breath."

"Yeah, I don't know how much longer Karasu can keep up this pace." Aine said as she had her magic armed and ready.

"-And-" Prism said as she started to catch her breath as she had been leaning against Liam, "-I'm a bit worn out from walking through the water."

"Sorry, but we can't." Acer told her, "More of the corpses are finding their way in here. If we end up staying in one place for long, then they'll be on top of us like a pack of wolves."

"But we've been moving like this for at least two hours-" Aidan said, "-I know we hunted a lot, but I'm not sure how much more we can take."

Jack had told them, "KEKE-Would you rather be food for the deadmans?"

Aidan flinched, "N-No, but at this rate some of us might be too exhausted to fight if worse comes to worse."

"And we're basically burning through our mana as they come." Aine said.

"As much as I hate to say it-" Yami said, "-Beanpole has a point. We can't just rest just yet. Besides, we're not the only ones fighting. Your other squadmates plus your older brother are out there too. They're out there fighting the fight too. Even if they were here instead of you guys. One thing is clear-They're not gonna go down without a fight."

"Even so-" Karasu said as he managed to hold himself back from throwing up, "-I've never been sick like this before. I'm not sure how much this is going to affect my magic."

Yami told him as he took a puff, "Well you're just gonna have to brave the storm kid. Surpassing limits won't be easy."

Karasu could feel a headache come on as he groaned, though the others were quick to help him up. Prism only felt nervous about the whole thing as she could hear the corpses just down the tunnel. Her body shook at the sound of a loud noise just up above as the adults flinched as well.

"Come on-" Marx soon said, "-It's not much further now."

The group started to move again as the teens did their best to keep up their pace. Sachiko stayed with her brother the whole time as she held onto his hand while the Familiars and Triple A's stayed close to Prism as she had been struggling to breathe at that point. As they had gotten halfway down the tunnel as the water seemed to have gotten deeper, Prism started to cough and nearly collapsed.

"Pretty Lady, are you okay?" Theodore asked with worry as Adrien whimpered.

"I-I'm okay…" She replied as she had been struggling to breathe, "... I-I need a minute."

"Do you need me to carry you?" Liam asked

"N-No-" She replied, "I don't want-You to strain your shoulder."

"You should take a breather then." Brenin said.

"But there's still those corpses." Vandy said, "What if they come and attack you?"

"We can stay with her then." Saorise said as she patted her back, "And when she gets her bearings together, we'll catch up with you."

"It'll be dangerous if you guys stay here." Aisling said, "We can stay with you if you want!"

"No, no, no, no!" Marvin said as he heard them, "Th-That's a REALLY bad idea! N-Naotoshi s-said that th-these guys are after you too!"

"Then what the hell do you suggest we do?" Liam said, "We're not abandoning her!"

"I can carry her!" Jubei said as she immediately raised her hand.

"Jubei-You're six and she's fourteen." Aidan said, "Somehow I don't think that's going to work out."

Jubei said with a puff of her cheeks, "I can to do it!"

"Kids-" Gooden said, "-Is it really the time to be arguing?"

"Need we remind you, we have to keep moving." Naotoshi said.

"Just-Go on ahead." Prism said with a reassured smile, "I-I'll catch up with you all when I can."

"But-" Saorise started to say worryingly, as they didn't realize Jack approached them.

"KEKE-Forget it, you all are stalling! I'll do it!"Jack said. He took Prism by surprise when he picked her up by the back of her shirt and practically tossed her on his back. Immediately she hooked her arms around his neck as she let out a surprise squeak when Jack supported her legs.

Some of the adults looked a bit stunned, except for Yami. Jack had said as he stepped forward, "Don't just stand there. Start moving."

"Did he just-" Acer said.

"He did." Nolan replied.

"Well-" Naotoshi said, "-That's surprising."

Yami had said as he shook his head, "That Guy i swear.."

"So-Sorry for the trouble." Prism said awkwardly, while Theodore crawled up on her shoulder.

Jack only told her, "KEKE-Don't worry about it!"

"Prism really has an effect on people like that guy." Karasu commented as he picked up Sachiko when noticed how tired she looked, "Right?"

Sachiko only nodded as Shiromori had slithered around her neck as she managed to keep herself steady, "We'll be okay, right aniki?"

"I hope so, imoto." Karasu said, "I really hope so."

"We're almost there." Marx soon said, "Once we're at the central system, the tunnel on the right will lead us too-"

BOOM!

The sound of an explosion had sounded close as it caused the tunnel to shake, making most of the group stumble and the water to ripple; the people in the tunnel screamed and covered their ears at the sound. Acer and Gooden instinctively shielded Jubei, Vandy and the Triple A's with their bodies as the water splashed around them when another loud noise came again.

It had been a moment before everyone recovered and the sounds had stopped.

"Was it my imagination-" Naotoshi said, "-Or did that sound close?"

"Oh no-" Marx said in realization.

Quickly the group trekked through the water as they quickly followed Marx. It hadn't been long till they realized what it was that made the noise in the first place. The path up ahead that would've lead them to the central sewer, had been completely caved in.

"No…!" Prism said with worry.

"OH YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" Aidan yelled.

"The entire tunnel-It's caved in!" Aisling said.

"YOU MEAN WE'RE TRAPPED?!" Aine exclaimed.

"How the hell did this happen?!" Acer said.

Nolan looked up above as he could smell the smoke between the cracks; he had been quick to come to a conclusion in his head. "The fires-" Nolan said, "-With all that's going on it must've weakened whatever building was up on top."

Yami clicked his tongue in annoyance, "Damn it, now how the hell are we supposed to escape?"

"W-We're dead." Marvin said with worry, "W-We're so very dead."

Naotoshi was quick to comfort Marvin as he said, "Deep breaths, my boy. We'll be okay."

Gooden soon turned to Marx as he himself had been collecting himself, "Please tell me, there's another way to get to the castle."

Marx calmed himself as he cleared his head. It was then it clicked in his mind, "There is another path we can take." He said as he turned to the tunnel that was on their left as another pathway was on their right, "If I remember right-This tunnel right here should take us to an entryway that connects to the kitchen in the castle. But the only problem is the route is longer, and seeing as how the corpses are finding their way in the sewer, there could be more of them."

Nolan sighed, "Well it's the best option we got. We ain't gonna let these kids die before us, especially if one of them is my niece."

"But-The others-" Prism said, "-We'll still help them, won't we?"

"We will honey." Nolan reassured her as he gave her a smile, "Once we know you're safe and well rested to join the fight."

"Yeah." Yami added, "in the meantime we might as well bulldoze our way to the next exit."

Just before they could move, they froze when they heard the right tunnel; they could hear someone or something had been approaching them. Immediately they were on alert as they readied themselves.

"Don't tell me there's more of those corpses!" Acer said.

"Get ready-" Nolan told the group, "-Sounds like it's a mob."

The sounds had gotten closer and closer; Karasu gripped the handle on the hook sword as he set Sachiko down, as Brenin did the same with his blades, and Liam with his sickles. Saorise armed her crossbow attached to her arm as she adjusted her aim. Aine had done the same as bow as the arrow manifested into three.

"I've got them." Saorise said.

"So do I." Aine said.

"Take the shot as soon as we give the signal." Yami ordered.

The footsteps had been coming closer until they could see they had been in view. The look on Yami's face changed, as did Karasu as neither of them couldn't believe it.

"No way-" Karasu started to say.

"Holy-" Yami said.

"Fire, do it!" Acer said.

"NO, WAIT!" Karasu shouted before-

"Whoa, don't shoot!" A familiar voice, belonging to a girl, said as she emerged from the shadows with her hands raised, "I'm on your side assholes!"

Most of the group, Karasu especially couldn't believe the person standing before them was-

"Avalon!" Karasu and Sachiko exclaimed with relief. Karasu ran over to her, as he gave her a hug. Sachiko had done the same as Avalon hugged them back. Saorise and Aine were a bit confused but they quickly disarmed themselves.

"Thank goodness you're okay!" Avalon said with relief, "I knew that was your Ki I sensed down here!"

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Karasu asked, "The Cap told me they arrested you! You were in a cell!"

"I was until the shitstorm happened!" Avalon said, "They let us go since they got bigger fish to worry about."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Acer said, "You know this girl? Is she your girlfriend or something?"

Immediately as this was said, Karasu and Avalon gagged. "Not that I have anything against him, but he's definitely not my boyfriend!" Avalon said.

"I know she's my best friend, let me tell you, she's not my type!" Karasu said.

Avalon's eyes soon widened at the sight of Yami, "Oh hey! You're the old guy that wouldn't let me take the beer."

"Yeah for a good reason." Yami told her.

"Are you Avalon?" Prism soon asked, "You're Karasu's friend right?"

Avalon had been a bit taken back but she soon noticed Prism riding along Jack's back. "Hey-" Avalon said, "-You must be that tomboy friend of his."

"Tomboy?" Prism said a bit taken back by the term.

"Aww-" Avalon said, "-You're a lot cuter then I thought you'd be. Though then again you're way too cute to be Karasu's girlfriend."

Prism had been taken back again as she blushed, "U-Uh-"

"Wait-" Karasu said as he had been a bit confused when it soon hit him, "-Did you just say we?"

"Yeah-" Avalon said, "-Try not to hate me but-"

"Karasu!"

They jumped when a familiar boy came in and pounced on him, which ended up knocking him over. The Familiar's expressions grew a bit cold, while Prism couldn't help but tense up.

"Blaise?!" Karasu said, shocked.

"Gods, I never thought I'd see you again!" Blaise said as he nuzzled his cheek into his, "It's been ages since we last saw each other in Ashtown!"

"It's literally been weeks!" Karasu said as he couldn't get him off, "What the hell are you-"

Two more people stepped out of the shadows as it had been a girl with an owl staff, and another with light green hair. "Hey there-Little Crow." Erin said with a smile as she put the staff over her shoulders.

"Erin!?" Karasu said shocked, "Dylan!?"

"FRIENDS!" Theodore exclaimed with glee which shocked Prism.

"Shit-Is that Donkey?" Erin said, a bit shocked.

"Holy cow it is!" Blaise said.

"I go by Theodore now-" Theodore said as his tone had been sad before it switched to happy, "-Pretty Lady gave me that name!"

"Pretty Lady?" Dylan asked, "You mean the tomboy girl on the Mantis back?"

Prism could only wave awkwardly while her Familiars had a tense look towards them.

"BROTHER KILLER!" The Triple A's exclaimed before they got their grimores out.

"Wait Brother Killer?" Vandy and Jubei asked.

"Brother Killer?" Erin said, before she smacked herself, "Oh-Right, your siblings of that Owl Killer. Gotta be honest I forgot about you three."

Aidan said with a look, "Yeah right!"

"You're just gonna go after Pluck when this dies down!" Aine added

"Hold on, Pluck killed her owl?" Acer asked.

"That Boy, I'm gonna give him a chat later." Gooden added

"In case you didn't notice, I'm trying to survive o-" Erin said, before she had been taken back, "-Wait his name is seriously Pluck?"

"That's kind of hot." Blaise said.

"Bro-Have standards." Dylan said with a groan.

"What the hell are you three doing down here?" Yami asked as he was ready to draw his blade, "If you try to make a grab for the Lizard Girl-

"Relax-We're not here to take the tomboy girl." Erin said.

"Or kill our brother?" Aisling asked.

"To be fair he did blow up my owl." She said.

"We're just down here for the same reason you badasses are." Blaise said.

Jack had said to them, "KEKE-Really?!"

"Really-" Dylan replied, "-Sides, after we found out about Hywel's little revenge plot, he became dead to us."

"That and the Pack is officially broken so we're basically unemployed." Erin added as she held her hands out, "So you all can relax."

Karasu had trouble processing before he looked over to Avalon.

"Yeah-" Avalon said, "-I sort of teamed up with your exes to get my family out."

"Exes?" Yami said as he gave Karasu a look, while Karasu himself turned red. He quickly shushed her as Avalon immediately covered her mouth.

"Ixnay on ex-ey!" Karasu told her.

"Hey-Don't look embarrassed!" Erin said.

"Yeah, it's not like you didn't have a bad time with us!" Blaise said.

"NOT HELPING!" Karasu shouted as his face was as red as a tomato at that point.

"Did-You date those two at the same time?" Nolan asked Karasu as he flinched at the question.

"You like guys and girls?!" Vandy asked.

Jubei said with awe, "So you're on both sides of the fence!"

Acer had said, "Haha! My man!"

Karasu only groaned as he covered his face, "You weren't supposed to find out about that-" He soon pointed over to Yami, "-Especially you!"

"So-" Yami said casually "-Who wore the pants in that relationship?"

"EW-WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW THAT?!" Karasu shouted as he had been embarrassed.

Yami told him, "Hey if you're embarrassed, then it's fine. You can't tell me right away."

"I wore the pants by the way." Blaise said slyly, causing Karasu to shriek.

"DON'T TELL HIM THAT ASSHOLE!" Karasu yelled.

"Hey, you weren't complaining when we were having fun!" He told him as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"He's not wrong-" Erin said, "-You were practically begging for what Blaise gave ya."

"STOP IT!" Karasu yelled.

"TMI! There are kids here!" Gooden scolded them as she covered Vandy and Jubei's ears.

"What? It's not like they'll learn it eventually." Blaise told her

"Ookay, that part I didn't know about…" Prism said awkwardly as her face turned a little red.

"Well now you do." Dylan said, "I don't feel proud knowing that too."

Yami gave Karasu a look as all he could do was hide his face at that point.

"Kill me now…" Karasu said.

Yami told him, "Later, when this is over."

Karasu only groaned as he shook back and forth. "S-Sorry." Avalon said.

"This is the last thing I needed." Karasu said, "I didn't want him to find out about my exes! Especially the Cap-"

"Okay-Easy deep breaths." Sachiko said as she patted him on the back.

"God-This is embarrassing…" Karasu said.

"Hey, hey-There's nothing to be ashamed of~" Blaise said as he gave him a suggestive look.

"COULD YOU NOT!?" Karasu shouted before he had been taken back when he felt Yami's hand on his head.

"Well at least I don't have to tell you about the birds and bees." Yami said as it only made Karasu groan again.

"Birds and Bees?" Prism said confused as the spirits shifted colors.

Yami looked to Prism as he had a look. "Okay that topic i'm gonna have a chat with you later."

"So..now what?" Erin asked, "Where are you guys heading?"

"To the Castle." Jubei replied, "Marx said we'll be safe there-"

"Jubei!" Gooden said as she picked her up before covering her mouth, "Shh!"

"The castle?" Dylan asked, "What, you friends with that pig of a king or something?"

"No-" Marx replied calmly, "-But the Barbados family is close with the Wizard King. We're just taking the young ones there for shelter."

"Of course." Erin said with her eyes rolled before she did a double take. "Wait, the Wizard King is in Good relations with that Owl Killer's Family?! Just how many of you are there?! It's like you guys are rabbits or something!"

"Technically we're adopted." Aisling told her.

"And that makes it okay?!" Erin said.

"Well-" Avalon said, "-If you can-Do you think you can shelter my little siblings too?"

"Your siblings?" Marx asked before he looked behind her, "But you're the only ones here."

Avalon turned around as she noticed they weren't behind her, "Right-They're a bit shy. Give me a sec." She soon turned and kneeled, "It's okay guys. They're not gonna hurt us. They're friends with Karasu and Sachiko."

Just then five children came out of the darkness as they looked worn out and they possessed their own set of scratches. There had been a total of three young boys though the boy looked to be a two year-old baby, and one girl. Their clothes looked just as ragged as Avalon's as they had seen better days. The boy in front of them looked to be the same age as Sachiko as his hair was the same color as Avalon's, though his hair looked to be short and somewhat spiked. His eyes had been an odd shade of a lemonade pink as he looked to be holding a wooden board with a nail.

Prism's look softened at the sight of them, as the Spirit's colors dulled.

"Bime i Elena.." Aidan said.

"Those poor kids.." Aine said.

"There's only one thing to do!" Vandy says as he was about to take off his shirt, hadn't not been for Gooden stopping him. "Auntie Gooden! I was about to offer up my shirt!"

Gooden told him, "Well, we don't want you catching a cold!"

"Who are they?" Nolan asked.

"My siblings-" Avalon replied, "-The older one here is Conor-"

She pointed to the boy who looked to be ten, as his hair that was shoulder length had been in a shade of brown, though his eyes had been in a shade of a taffy pink, "-That one is Ian-"

The second boy looked to be seven as his hair had been in a lighter shade of black as his eyes were of a watermelon pink as he had been holding the baby with flamingo pink eyes, "-He's Angus and that's Ronan-"

The little girl looked to be of Jubei's age as she had been the most scared out of all of them by the look of it; her dress had been dirty, and looked as though it hadn't been washed in days as well as her long dark brown ragged hair. Her eyes had been a strawberry pink, "-And she's Kylie. We were residents of Ashtown, but when we left the Pack we had to move into the Royal Capital slums."

"You poor things…" Prism said.

"They're-All so young." Saorise said as her own look softened.

"I don't care what happens to me-" Avalon admitted, "-But they'll die if they stay outside. I need to make sure they're safe from those things."

"Your eyes-" Marx said, "-You're last name wouldn't be Rhoderick would it?"

Avalon had been a bit taken back by this, "Yes-My full name is Avalon Rhode-Wait how do you know that?"

"You… Don't know?" Marx asked, surprised.

"Know what?" She asked, confused, "Arai-Do you know what they're talking about?"

Karasu had looked confused at this before he replied, "Not a clue."

Yami scratched his head as he said, "The Rhodericks..Where have I heard that name before?"

"Seriously, what are you talking about?" Avalon asked.

They soon jumped at a loud noise just up above as it startled most of them. The Spirits suddenly grew alert before they started to whisper in Prism's ear as her eyes widened.

"We'll play the twenty questions later-" Nolan said, "-We need to get going before-"

"GET DOWN!" Prism suddenly shouted, alerting the group.

Suddenly a large tendril appeared out of the shadows of the tunnel where the thieves had come through; they each of them quickly dodged as it left a crater in the floor.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Aisling shouted.

"So-Something just attacked us!" Marvin said.

They soon saw a couple of more tendrils coming towards them. "MORE COMING!" Aidan shouted as he shrieked before dodging.

Nolan clicked his tongue before his grimoire floated beside him, "Water Creation Magic-Kraken's Rage!"

He thrusted his hands in the water before the sewers manifested tendrils of his own. It knocked the ones attacking them out of the air before it went and grabbed whatever had been attacking them. He pulled the beast towards them as they saw what appeared to be a large patched creature as it groaned an eerily groan.

"Bime i elena-" Gooden said, shocked.

"What the hell is that thing?!" Acer said.

"It smells like a corpse-But-" Brenin said before he gagged himself, "-What's with all this manure and mud?"

"What the hell is with this guy…?" Liam said.

"This scent-" Saorise said as she covered her nose.

Jack soon set Prism down before he said, "KEKE-Looks like we found our boss."

"Jack wait-" Nolan said just as Jack manifested his magic, "-I don't think this is the boss."

The patched corpse groaned as it turned to Prism in particular; it soon let out an eerily shriek that nearly made them stumble. "My ears-" Blaise yelled, "-Why is it doing that?!"

Suddenly, much to their own shock the patched corpse seemed to have melted as it fell out of Nolan's restraints before it stood back up. It soon charged at Prism at an alarming speed.

"SHIT!!" Nolan shouted.

"PRISM!" The Familiars shouted.

Prism acted on instinct as her grimoire floated beside her before she said the words at a quick pace.

Shadows reveal thy form!

Let your power aid!

Lead the hunger astray!

Bring me victory today!

The scythe soon manifested from the pages as Prism took hold of the handle; as the corpse reached towards her she was able to slice it in half, causing it to fall instantly. It's upper half soon turned to dust before it went into the scythe's eyes. Her veins glowed purple before a familiar set of white flames appeared along her arms causing her to shriek.

"Prism!" Karasu shouted.

Prism collapsed to her knees as her uncle, Familiars, and Karasu and Sachiko rushed to her side; the sleeves of her shirt burned away.

"Prism!" Nolan said, as she shook while still holding onto the scythe, "Are you alright?!"

"Y-Yeah-" Prism replied with a whimper, "-Yeah I think so."

"What in God's name was that?!" Acer yelled.

"Some kind of an advanced corpse-" Nolan said, "-Must be a powerful one if it hurts my niece!"

"You're niece?!" Erin said.

"Wait a minute-" Blaise said confused as he turned to Karasu, "-I thought her name was Primrose?"

Karasu only groaned, "I'll tell you later once we get the hell-Why are the legs moving?"

The group looked over and noticed the legs started to move. It managed to stand itself back up before it started to repair itself; immediately the group panicked as the kids couldn't help but shriek.

"We need to move now!" Marx said.

"Follow him, go!" Avalon told her siblings.

"Marvin!" Naotoshi said, "Go with him!"

"Y-Yes sir." Marvin said before helped Marx coax the children..

Her young siblings quickly ushered towards Marx. "You two, let's go!" Gooden said to Vandy and Jubei. They quickly went over to Marx as the corpses upper body started to repair itself.

"Come on!" Karasu told Sachiko as he took her hand before running.

"We gotta go, now!" Nolan told Prism as he helped her up. The rest of the group quickly went towards where Marx had been, however-The patched corpse had succeeded in repairing went towards the group, Karasu, Sachiko, Prism, the Familiars, Triple A's, Nolan, Acer, Natoshi, Captains Jack and Yami, as well as Avalon, the thieves Erin, Dylan and Blaise and Prism.

"Auntie, Uncle!" Jubei cried out.

"Guys!" Vandy exclaimed.

"Sis! Sachi!" Conor yelled.

"Na-Naotoshi!" Marvin called out.

"Go with Marx!" Acer told the kids, "We'll be okay!"

"Keep going! We'll find another way!" Avalon yelled to them.

"Marvin-" Naotoshi said, "-I'll be alright! Don't worry about me!"

"Marx-Take care of them!" Gooden told them.

Marx nodded before he quickly ushered them as he said, "Let's go, now!"

The corpse soon charged at them as Marx quickly escaped with the others. It attacked them aggressively as they managed to dodge its attacks. "Crap!" Aisling said before her grimoire floated beside her "Explosion Magic: Firecracker!"

In one shot she used her attack and blew the corpses away while the others had duck and cover.

"ASH! WARN US NEXT TIME!" Aidan exclaimed.

"SORRY!" Aisling yelled before she shrieked when a tendril came at her.

"Ash!" Prism exclaimed before she sliced the tendril just before Yami could stop her. She sliced the tendril as it turned to ash, before it was absorbed in the scythe. As it did however, the white flames manifested as it burned her arm, causing her to cry out.

"Prism!" Nolan yelled before he manifested a water barrier to keep the corpse from grabbing her before he hit away.

Yami quickly went to her aid as he helped her to stand, "Damn it Lizard Girl. You overdid it!"

"Sorry but-" Prism said before exclaiming, "-BEHIND YOU!"

Yami soon looked from behind as the corpse charged at him. Luckily he was quick to act as he drew his sword, "Dark Cloaked-Lightless Slash!" Yami was able to corpse back as it hit the wall, though they could see it had started to get up.

"Even that didn't do anything?!" Aidan yelled.

"Well it is a corpse!" Brenin said as he blocked the tendrils with the help of his blades

"Great!" Liam said as he kicked it away, "Now what?! Taking down this thing isn't as easy as it looks!"

"You're asking me that?!" Aine said as she fired away the tendrils it manifested from the waters, "I've never fought a corpse before!"

"I noticed!" Karasu yelled, "Try harder!"

"KEKE-" Jack said as his blade grew, "-Let's how well it'll do against this!"

Nolan, Gooden and Acer realized what he was about to do, though thankfully-

"Neon Chain Restraining Magic-Light Binding!" Gooden shouted as she quickly caught hold of his wrist.

"Hey, what the hell!?" Jack exclaimed.

"Jack, we know what happens when you use THAT move in public." Acer told him.

"Doing it in a place like this will kill us!" Nolan added.

"The space is too cramped for you to use that move now!" Gooden said.

"Then we have no choice but to run?!" Erin said.

"As much as I hate that option-" Nolan said, "-We have to! I'm not letting my niece or my students get taken by that thing!"

The look on Prism's face changed as she looked to her uncle, "Nolan…"

Prism soon shrieked as the corpse went towards her; it managed to grab a hold of her before anyone could do anything. "NO!" Nolan shouted.

Prism tried her best to break free from the corpse's grasp but-

"T….a...k...e… t...h...e...G...i...r...l..." It groaned in a raspy voice as Prism froze, "...T...a...k...e...t...h...e...G...i...r...l…"

Prism struggled harder as the corpse lifted her up; the others stood frozen as they couldn't attack the corpse without hurting her. Adrien quickly hopped out of her pouch as he reverted to his size. With a roar he charged at the corpse attempting to grab it with his jaw; however the corpse acted as it shoved him to the wall pinning him. It soon started to move as Prism tried to break free as she hit it on the head with the handle of the scythe.

"Damn it-" Yami said as his hand shook on the grip of his sword, "-No!"

"I can help Pretty Lady!" Theodore said as he removed himself from her shoulder.

Much to their own surprise, Theodore's body suddenly split; the one in the pouch fur had dark blue fur while the other that launched himself towards the corpse had hot pink fur. He bit at the corpse causing it to shriek as it dropped Prism, before he scratched on his face for extra measure.

The group looked at this in shock as the pink Theodore hopped off the corpse and stood on his hind legs, giving a wink and a smile.

"Bi-Bime i elena!" Prism said, shocked as she lifted Theodore with blue fur off of her shoulder, "You can do that?!"

"I think I can!" The Pink Theodore said in awe.

"It's weird to see me over there." The Blue Theodore said as it made Prism squeak in surprise as she nearly dropped him.

"Uh-" Karasu said as he looked at Erin and Blaise, "-Did you know he could do that?"

"Did it look like we did?!" Erin yelled.

Theodore soon let out a shriek as the one with pink fur ran right into the one with blue fur just as the corpse started to get back up. Prism let out a shriek as she ran back towards the group. "We need to get out of here-Now!" Gooden said.

"Yeah, but one problem-None of us aren't Spatial Mages!" Acer said, "The only one that is, is back at the Base!"

Prism had been taken back when she saw a familiar silver light butterfly appear on her nose. It flew off of her as it split itself into two. They flew to the walls just opposite from each other as two sets of portals opened as they looked to be of a purple void from each one; the spirits soon spoke to her.

"They said we can get out through there!" Prism told the group.

"You can understand those guys?!" Dylan said shocked.

"Save the questions for later!" Karasu said.

"Did they tell you where those lead?!" Yami asked her.

"They said they'll take us above ground!" Prism replied as the corpse turned towards them.

"Go!" Nolan told the group, "Split up and take a portal!"

With that said, the group made haste as they made their way to the portals. Karasu and Sachiko went through the portal on the left, as Erin, Blaise and Avalon quickly followed behind and the Triple A's went through the right portal after they gave a worrisome look to their uncle and aunt before Naotoshi ushered them through. The Familiars were hesitant as Brenin held onto her semi burned hand.

"It's okay-" Prism said to them as she noticed the look in their eyes, "-I'll be right behind you!"

Brenin, Liam and Saorise were still hesitant but followed her lead as they quickly went through the portal that had been on the right. "Go-" Yami said, "-You're next!"

Prism nodded before she whistled for Adrien as he had recovered. They were about to go through the portal but-

"GET BACK!" Nolan yelled as he managed to pull Prism back just as the corpse went to attack. It charged at her as it tried to grab ahold of her; he soon handed her to Yami which surprised her.

"GET HER THROUGH, NOW!" Nolan yelled.

"What?" Prism said shocked.

"We'll hold him off-" Acer said, "-Just go!"

Yami nodded his head in reply. With no hesitation he lifted Prism up and got Adrien to follow him with a whistle of his own. "NO!" Prism shrieked as she tried to break free from Yami's grip. She reached out to her uncle as she watched helplessly as he, Acer and Gooden fought the patched corpse, "NOLAN! NOLAN!"

Jack went through the portal as Yami dragged Prism through. The world had been shrouded with a seemingly bright light, followed by a loud piercing ring.


It had taken Prism all but a few moments to come to, as she could smell the wood burning, the people screaming in the distance. The sky had been polluted with the smoke and flames as she found herself coughing from the smoke alone. The Spirits were quick to come to her aid, as Adrien had been licking her cheek.

She groaned as she sat up, as she was quick to realize, Yami and Theodore had been the only ones that were with her.

"Whew-" Theodore said as he shook himself out, "-What a ride."

"Ow-" Yami said as he groaned, "-I don't remember the wheels being like that." He soon looked around, noticing the others hadn't been with them, "Well I guess this is what happens when you use a Spatial Spirit without a partner. It must've thrown the others in different parts of the capital."

Prism gasped in horror as she turned to the portal. Just as she did, the portal they had gone through soon closed as the little butterfly formed.

"No-!" Prism exclaimed as she ran to where the portal once was. Much to Theodore and Yami's horror, she started to punch the wall with an aggressive force. She kept going again and again not even caring if she broke the skin on her knuckles as she cried out in rage. Adrien did his best to stop her as he pulled her back, but it was to no avail.

"Pretty Lady stop!" Theodore exclaimed with worry as he hugged her ankle, "You're hurting yourself!"

Prism finally stopped as she didn't realize her eye started to bleed and her eye was bloodshot red; tears started to fill her eyes as it washed away some of the blood that rolled down her cheek. She didn't even care that her eye stung.

"No!" She cried as she fell to her knees as she still gripped her scythe, "No! No! No! No! No!"

"Kid-" Yami said as he reached out to her, "-Are you okay?"

Prism seemed to ignore him as she turned to the Spirits that floated above her; particularly the little butterfly and Elior.

"Why did you close it?!" She said before pleading, "Nolan and the others were still in there! Open it back up!"

Yami didn't hear any bells coming from them. All Elior had done was shake his head in reply as he answered for the little butterfly; her face paled.

"I gotta get back-" She said urgently before standing as she took hold of her weapon, "-I gotta find a way back down there!"

"Go back down with that patched corpse in the sewer?!" Theodore said shocked, "You won't survive down there!"

"I don't care!" She said as she went past Yami, "I have to go back for him!"

"Pretty Lady-!" Theodore said with worry, "-Stop! You'll get killed!"

"That doesn't matter!" Prism said, while some of the spirits started to change into a rageful red color, "My life doesn't matter if I just leave them there to die!"

That seemed to have hit a nerve with Yami as he had finally had enough. Before Prism knew it, she felt him grab her arm roughly before she felt a sudden sting on her cheek a second later. Her mind seemed to have gone blank as she froze. She couldn't even speak as she looked at him with shock.

"Why would you do that?!" Theodore exclaimed out of confusion before his eyes shifted to blue, "That's just abuse!"

Yami ignored Theodore before he took a deep breath. Finally he spoke, "You really think your life doesn't matter? Do you REALLY think that? Because I've got a whole lot of people that would disagree with you on that, myself included!" The spirits lost their rageful red as this time only a small handful turned blue, "You have people who would put their life on the line just for your well being! If your parents were here, they would've told you to keep on keeping on instead doing something reckless as going on a suicide mission! And if you go back down there-What your uncle, Acer and Gooden did for you and the others, would've been in vain! Do you honestly think any of us would want that to go to waste?!"

Finally Prism couldn't hold back anymore-She collapsed to her knees once again as she started to sob horrifically. She dropped the scythe as it had vanished in a white flash; The spirits turned a dark blue as they began to weep as well. As the thought had been clear in her head, she had realized he was right.

They did everything they could to protect her and her friends; They would be upset with her if they heard from her she was going to throw away her life with the drop of a hat. Her uncle-Would've most likely grounded her for that sort of remark.

Yami didn't let go of her arm, as he moved to his knees the moment she collapsed. She froze again as he had pulled her in for a hug. She felt him give her pats on the back of her head, as he ruffled her ponytail a little bit.

"You're allowed to cry-" He told her, "-But you're not allowed to decide to throw your life away like it's nothing. If you do that again, you die by me and me alone. That's a promise."

Prism still couldn't answer as she could only cry; she didn't even fight out of Yami's grip as she leaned in the hug. Adrien came up from behind her as he let out a purr while he rubbed her back shoulder. Theodore soon joined in on the hug as he placed his paws on her leg before he nuzzled against her.

The sounds of the fire and the screams seemed to have faded from her ears, as she didn't even realize she had fallen asleep.
