THE NEXT DAY, VHJIL'S HOUSE-

The front door opens up quietly and discreetly not to awake the owner or the other guest who live here, Mika's head peaks in and looks around seeing no one in sight then she comes inside and closes the door behind her afterwards she places her backpack and a few of her personal belongings upon the old yet very soft linen couch. She sits down and takes off her sneakers and gently places them with the front underneath the couch, as she does her sleeve comes up slightly reminding her of yesterday's actions and the before that; Her arm is lined with fine cuts too thin to spot at first glance, then just above them the bandages that kept her wounds clean, wounds sustained by a trio of cowardly teens who tried their luck against what they thought was a "Inoffensive Little girl".

The shower she took was not enough to wash up the stench of blood, booze, V4X or sex off her skin but her perfume helped, however more physical aspects weren't easy to cover up like the bruise on her lower neck, the cut on her cheek and the slashes around her body courtesy of both the would-be-rapists/or thieves and Drál's wild behavior. The worst was the effect the drug did on her Ghoul metabolism, similar to a hungover but worse in the part where it matters: Her chest.

"That bastard..." she thought begrudgingly, pulling her shirt down and seeing as her veins and arteries were not entirely faded back into her flesh yet, her left breast was near entirely bruised up and her collarbone above it was still swollen and very much tender to the touch. "Need to relax... relax... relax Mika..." she though as she let the shirt return to it's original form and then went looking for the TV's remote. After a quick search she turned it on and quickly lowered the volume to where she could hear it and not disturb the other ghoul in the house and the heavy-ish sleeping Mirai upstairs.

"Why the hell those Vhjil have that wrestling channel favored?... lame..." she tried changing the channel however it wouldn't budge as every other channel was locked behind a modified parental control setting that apparently stops functioning after Noon, four hours from now. She let the wrestling channel play but headed towards the kitchen with a baggy of leftover burgers from yesterday. She retrieve a plate from the shelves above the kitchen island and placed her food to microwave, by the time she pressed the button the door to Alú's room had open and the Redhead ghoul was tiredly leaning out of her doorframe and watching the TV.

Alú: Good morning Mika, rough night? -she asked after she yawned, her hair blocking her face from sight-... You like HCW too?

Mika: HC What?... -she asked as she kept her eyes on the burgers gently spinning in the microwave-... oh the wrestling thing?... not a fan.

Alú: Okay, so how you been, haven't seen you since Vhjil and I left for the Cultural festival. -she asked looking towards Mika, her eyes peaking through the strands of hair-

Mika: Spend some time with my Alpha then we had burgers in his joint, not much aside from that. -she said, blushing very lightly at the thought of her Alpha-

Alú: You mean your boyfriend?... Good on you Mika, I haven't had a good tussle in the sheets in like forever. -she said in a teasing manner while she walked towards the kitchen, swiping her hair exposing her face to Mika, catching the petite ghoul by surprise and causing Alú herself to feel self-conscious again-... W-what?

Mika: Uh like two things... first, we did nothing of that sort... -she lied while her face was reddening-... he just took to dinner... -she said with an embarrassed/annoyed expression-... and second, you're actually mask-less for once... weird. -she said going from embarrassed to deadpanned in a blink of an eye-

Alú: -she was shocked at Mika's words, so much so she turned into a flat cut-out of herself-... Weird?!... weird how?!... -she covered her face up with a pillow-... Weird like gross, ugly or weird like imamutantandshouldnotbeallowedinpublic weird?! -she was embarrassed and felt very much ugly, her anxiety sky-rocketed and her self-esteem was falling apart-

Mika: No... weird like this is strange to see you without your mask. -she said taking her burgers out of the microwave-... you're not ugly, actually I'd say you look cute. -she said in a monotonous way as she walked by Alu and towards the living room's couch, sitting down and with no intention of enjoyment started watching the current show-

The match was being announced by a beautiful looking Humanimal Snow Leopard, she was wearing a very casual but nice one piece track suit and her hair was tied in a long ponytail with a goofy bow nearly as big as her head; She spins the microphone in a very neat demonstration of grace and flair before raising it up to her mouth and speaking:

"Ladies and Gents, my name is Liza Ricci and this is YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING!... A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE HCW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP!" after her announcement Carpenter Brut's "Maniac" starts blaring across the arena as rainbow lights flash across the ring and stage while strobe lights flash across the ramp "... Introducing first from the city that never sleeps..." Out comes a young woman wearing a skin tight, black sleeveless top with "HI MOM!", a thick leather jacket/fur hybrid coat, shorts made from faded out cargo pants cut around the pocket areas on both legs and long shin high boots, the left on having a white bandana tied around the ankle "... TESSA HENDRICKS!"

Mika watched with uninterest as the silver haired woman walked with a mean stride towards the ring through the strobe lights then toss her jacket off before entering the ring by rolling inside in between the ropes, landing on her feet and prompting all the lights to return to normal. The petite ghoul turned her gaze towards Alú who was looking quite excited for something that happened a few months ago if the tiny timestamp located on the top left side of the screen was accurate. Then after a few seconds of stretching and pacing around the next fighter's theme started playing:

"UP NEXT, FROM SCLESWIG-HOLSTEIN GERMANY..." A instrumental version of "I Hate Everything You" of Three Days Grace continues to play as a Valkyrie comes onto the stage, her wings were neatly tucked behind her back in a way they resembled a cape made of feathers, all of the lights of the arena shine upon her as she slowly struts down the ramp while the entire crowd boos her fiercely even as she reaches the ringside area and opens her massive wings letting the light shine upon her glorious golden feathers with tiny words written upon them. She was wearing a matching Sports bra and Lycra shorts that ended above her knees, designed to resemble armor inspired by Joan of Ark, around her neck she had wolven fur and her tough abdomen was exposed: "SIGRUM!" shouts the Announcer to the crowd getting boos in return.

Mika: Wow she's kinda badass looking I guess... -she said munching on her burgers seeing the monstrous 6'9 feet tall Valkyrie remove her boots and remain in foot wrappings, her hands were wrapped too and covered in something crimson red on her fingers; She spreads the red substance around her face giving herself a bloody set of face paint-... Theatrics.

Alú: She's awesome... like you should see when she fought Yukino Natsumoto in the Blood Throne Tournament's finale... -Mika looks at Alú who's looking very excited-

Mika: -Cringe expression on her face-...You're oddly into this. -she says then casually takes a bite of her burger-

The Valkyrie stands in a corner staring at Tessa menacingly while the announcer drinks a bit of water just in time for the next and final wrestler who's themes frenzy the arena's lights into near psychedelic levels of red, white and UV lights to flash around; Slayer's "Raining Blood" remixed into a chaotic dubstep mashup causes The lights starts flickering at the rhythm of the song and the colors start degrading till they're simply UV and white. "INTRODUCING THE CHAMPION, FROM THE MOTOR CITY..." The woman comes out from the sudden darkness, her eyes glow in a bright red light which she follows with a loud wolven howl which kickstart the song back up and reveals her to be a Humanimal, An Alpha werewolf in her "Tamed" form: "YOUR HCW WOMEN'S CHAMPION!~" she went to all fours and charged towards the ring, leaping up to the ring-post before letting a massive howl as the announcer shouted into the microphone: "THE WOLF OF MOTOR CITY, VK TAMASKA!" the crowd cheer vigorously as the champion jumps into the ring and gets on the faces of her competitors showing the championship off in a very taunting manner.

In this form she was more human than her true form, now wearing a Cyberpunk inspired attire, "Silver" jewelry that glowed when exposed to UV light and a massive gold championship belt with fist clutching a chain and lightning bolt with "HCW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP" written across it, however the belt was desecrated with black spray paint and glow in the dark blotches with a massive message that reads "HCW'S BADDEST BITCH!" across the entire faceplate of the belt.

After the song died off she handed the belt to the referee, a man with muzzle keeping his mouth sealed, she threw off her jacket leaving her in white tank-top with the words "THE BROKEN SKULL SOCEITY" painted in black paint, torn up and faded black jeans with dark purple running sneakers. she had a solid line of black tape on her wrists and nothing on her arms obscuring the plethora of tattoos on her skin, running up to her neck ending behind her ears.

Alú: This match had to be the craziest match of that year... -she said as she took a forward leaning seating stance next to Mika, who was still trying to eat her cheeseburgers from the day prior-... this is going to be fucking crazy! -she was so excited, this made Mika smile as it was a bit contagious to a certain degree-

Mika got off the couch to drop the dirty plate in the sink then took her stuff up to the guest room to relax and let Alú enjoy her wrestling show, she laid down on the bed to rest, she sent a few texts here and there before grabbing her switch ultra and turning it on, immediately seeing hundreds of messages hyping up the incoming duel between Mini_Monsta versus GGL in a few days, she smiled as she saw the Global Leaderboard and seeing her name at the top. before she felt asleep she quickly read over a article of a missing Legend of the Gaming world: "VINDICATION'S END: The complete story of the career and disappearance of V1NDICTR355"

"-It's been years since the most dominating competitive player, V1NDICTR355, who one nearly 200 different tournaments across the world only to vanish after become Grand-Slam Tournament champion of the world-" Mika yawned before falling asleep on her bed, the sounds Alú's excitement not bothering her slumber at all. As she slept she thought about her friend Malcolm which she didn't save from another fight as of late, however she wasn't going to risk him to Drál anger by heading to his home, she hoped he had not gotten killed because she would be very hurt that her closest friend had been slain. She would hunt down those responsible and make them wish they've been drowned in birth.

She wrapped herself in the sheets feeling herself warmer than her time with Drál, she loved him but sometimes she wondered if it was because of his strength or is it because he's equally loving as her; He either hides or protects her from his "work" but she knows that he has never felt or acted hostile towards her since he "claimed" her in Yrdén, after killing her last alpha. She twisted and turned as she remembered when Drál tore another ghoul to pieces because he touched her and was acting sexual towards her, she grew true feelings for him that day, the intensity and his desire to protect her was stronger than any one had ever shown her: "If he doesn't love me, why he protect a fucking mistake like me..." she teared up before dozing away into a deep sleep.

WITH ALU IN THE LIVING ROOM-

The ghoul watched with excitement as the winged woman lifted her human opponent up into the air and then slam her back first through a wooden table then lowering herself gently down on top of Tessa for the pin but as she was going to win, she kneed in the face by the wolf-woman who tossed her outside and then pinned the knocked out Tessa, scoring the win and keeping her championship status:

Alú: So that's why they hate each other so much... -she says before turning the TV off and sensing someone watching her-... Vhjil you're back. -she asked, turning around and seeing Vhjil wearing a Blood red cyberpunk style leather jacket with a black silk hood, white tank top, skinny jeans with graffiti scribbled all over and top off her outfit she was wearing ankle high skating shoes with thick soles-... woah, what are you wearing?

Vhjil: This is my old outfit that I wore when I won my last 46 tournaments, signature look and all... like it? -she asked her as she spun around quickly-

Alú: -she cutely blushed-... It looks good on you Vhjil, looks dope actually. -she complemented while she tried keeping her face hidden from Vhjil-

Vhjil: Thank you Alú, at first I thought that it was too small for me and that it made me look a bit big on the lower parts. -she says before walking by and heading towards the door-... I'm going to head to the arcade, I got games to complete. -she says confidently, opens the door and leaves then a few seconds later she returns and looks at Alú-... Oh yeah I forgot, the password for the TV is "freememes01". -she now leaves for real-

Alú unlocks the TV and inspects most of the channel selection, skipping over the Adult channels that were scattered about thanks to Vhjil's alphabetical order option, finding a channel about Non-human entertainment which was movies, series and other media that had something to do with Non-humans and Humanimals; Currently it had it's news channel on where a report on the Island was been discussed:

"-As previously stated on this broadcast, the Independent Commonwealth of Kanari is currently celebrating their annual Cultural Diversity festival, celebrating the open and free nature of this neighboring nation to Japan. The festival celebrates a entire week because on Monday they celebrated the Nation's independence from Japan, then on Wednesday they celebrate the Civil Right victory for Humanimals achieved sixteen years ago and finally the weekend is to remember the sacrifice made by the Founding family of the island, The Kanaris who it's said had given up their entire wealth to make the island into the beautiful beacon of self-development and scientific advancement it has become" the reporter smiles as she picks up a new document and drinks a bit of water. "Next up we're going to discuss how Kanari's gamer-culture has changed the landscape for professional gaming across the Interwebs, more with my co-anchor Daniel Salas"

"Thank you Lisa, Ever since the Second Depression video games have been a good source of crypto-currency as their software is worth millions if not more, being enormous for the economy as countries around the world invest countless amounts of money for the rarest games out there for example a game called 'Mortal Kombat' that was created in 1992 was sold in auction for half a billion Units in Cana-" Alú turns off the TV and goes to her room, feeling the need to see Vhjil's skills at work, she blushed at the embarrassing prospect of watching her play a game for hours but she had nothing better to do:

"It's just curiosity, it's not weird unless I make it weird..." she said to herself after putting on her sneakers and hoodie. She looked at her mask and was contemplating putting it on however she manage to force herself not to wear it then left the house quickly before she regretted not putting it on. After ten minutes worth of walking she was now in the festival grounds where the people of Skjall were having a really good time with food stands, music and entertainment; She made her way towards the arcade but she felt something very wrong, like an unnatural wave of cold air ran by the air.

She felt her heartrate climb through the roof and her chest ache feverously, the world turned dark around her and no one else seemed to notice except her fellow ghoul whom she recognized by scent, the others seemed to be in the same boat as she was, looking around in a frenzy like if they were sensing something terrible had happened. The silence grew to a insane degree till an earthquake shook the world around them and people started to panic and/or take shelter, from afar smoke rose up through the sky as a beacon for chaos.

Something told her not go there but she was compelled to run there, zig-zagging through alleys till she arrived in a fight between a monstrous man and a bloodied woman wearing all black, kagune sprouting out her back like massive thorny spider legs, she fought hard against the man but he was faster, stronger and deadlier on his attacks. A few ghouls lay dead around them, all in various states of dead. Alú felt a strong and quite sharp pain stab her in the heart and run up her as the man pummeled the woman into a wall as other equally dressed people came out of a Yasmine Tea-shop seconds before it blew up in flames.

Many of these people were armed with guns and were shooting down anyone that came out of the crumbling tea-shop or the building next to it; One of these people was shot in the head by a humanimal woman wielding a pistol, she then died to a kagune impaling her in the gut. Spider-Leg Kagune wielder sat behind a car, taking cover as the people approached her:

Thug #1: You shouldn't have said shit bitch... -he shouted as he was getting close to the car-... but you opened your fucking mouth!

Spider lady: And let you sell you fucking drugs, not a chance! -she fired her pistol blindly at the thugs, her Kagune was twitching as she was very nervous-

Before the thug could kill the woman, something in Alú's mind forced her into intervening, she felt compelled by something powerful. So despite her knowing this was a terrible idea, she sprouted her wings and killed the man with a few of her sharp feathers impaling him in the chest then dissipating into dust, leading to the others firing at her only for the spider-lady to pull her next to her:

Spider-Leg Kagune lady: Thank god, I found you... -she said to Alú who felt very enthralled by this lady-... I'm grateful that I got ahold of your mind when I did, no time to explain I need you to get me out of here before they kill me. -she ordered Alú who couldn't say no to her for some reason-

Alú stood up and used her wings as a shield as this Ghoul woman fired her pistol at the thugs, killing two more of them. "Why can't I control myself!?... what is happening?!" Alú though as she saw how SHE herself was assisting this other ghoul kill these people without her able to stop herself. A few of the thugs started running as the sirens of police started coming.

Spider leg Ghoul lady: You're coming with me, guardian angel... -she said as she used Alú as a shield, both retreating towards the festival grounds as the cops arrived-

Both went through the deserted festival grounds as cops were hot on their heels when suddenly Alú saw Vhjil come from behind the cops and recklessly taking them down with a broken off chair leg, after the trio of cops were down the Spider leg lady smiled then laughed:

Spider Ghoul lady: -her kagune retreated into her body-... thank you sugar, I want you to stay close and guard my back. -she casually ordered Vhjil-

Vhjil did not say anything before coming in close and headbutting the woman square on the face knocking her flat on her ass and sending her to sleep, Alú snapped out of the apparent mind control only to see Vhjil comically curse and stomp her foot on the floor as the headbutt hurt her more than expected. she now had bruise forming on her forehead as she looked up at Alú:

Vhjil: Are you okay?... owowowowowwo... that really fucking hurt!~ -she moaned in pain as she held her, a bit teary eyed as she rubbed her forehead-

Alú: Vhjil lets get the fuck out of here! -she said to her friend, as a few more cops run their way-

Vhjil ran and grabbed Alú's arm, Alú's kagune faded away as she was pulled away by her friend, they both ran as now a new trio of cops were behind them. Both of them lost track of time as they ran through the city till they couldn't no more, ending up catching their breaths by a old liquor store a few blocks away from the Festival. After looking around and seeing a cop-car coming their way, both tried acting casual as they went down the sidewalk.

They continued walking down till Alú found an alley and pulled Vhjil close to her body unintentionally when she tugged her away from sight, after the car went away and that moment of awkwardness (mostly for Alú) they headed through the alley till they reached the next street where they found a bus stop and waited for it to arrive.

Vhjil: No that we're good... -she patted her clothes for dust-... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED BACK THERE?! -She whispered/yelled, her hands were shaking from the event, quickly she took a deep breath and sat down next Alú in the bus-stop-

Alú: I don't know V, I-I-i... can't explain it, I was at the festival but from out of fucking nowhere I felt something tugging me away... -she added before standing up and pacing back and forth-... like if I was mind controlled into protecting that woman... then I felt my kagune come out and I killed those people. -she says looking away from Vhjil-

They then waited in silence even as the street lights lit up even when the sun was still shining, a few of said lights exploded including the Neon lights of a tattoo shop exploded which made the girls jump up from their seat; A electrical surge blasted electric bolts into the power cables up top, which cause more sparks and small electrical explosions on nearby devices and other technology. They got away from anything that could explode and hurt them however everywhere they looked around and saw most electronics around them short-out, lights blew into spark showers then seemingly the entire town was left in total darkness. Cars stopped dead in their tracks as their batteries malfunctioned, shrieking into the quiet night.

Vhjil: What the fuck is happening?! -she yelled out as the city was shrouded in the light of the sunset-

From a Taxi came out a woman dressed in a fancy two piece elegant gown and sleek black suede heeled boots, Vhjil looked at her for a seconds before she felt an ominous feeling crawl up her back as a kid came out and joined her, he looked like he was shaken up; the Kid looked like a regular street rat from New Eden, hoodie jacket and faded jeans with decorative patches from the knees down, old slip on sneakers with super short socks.

By this point the cops had arrived to the seen to calm the people around however more things exploded around them, one of the lampposts collapsed and was going to crush a random woman in her car but the Elegant woman appeared in the blink of an eye and held the lamppost in the air with one arm, she then shoved it away safely. She walked towards the kid and finally spoke:

Elegant woman: Get to safety this is a magic mass influx!... stay away from anything that runs on electricity or batteries! -the people got out of their cars and ran away, probably like the Town's memorial park that was nearby-... Let's go kid it's too dangerous to be out here! -she took the kid, Bobby was his name, running towards a construction site far right, behind a fence next to the Bus-Stop-

The Woman punched the fence which obliterated it, the girls followed them as they believed this woman knows what she's doing, the woman saw them over her shoulder and sighed but continued on before heading towards the stairs that led to the second floor; A sudden cold wind blew loudly by and shook the rafters and plastic sheets that incased most of the building, sending tool boxes flying to the ground and launching light tools to the ground. Vhjil saw how Bobby flew back and then look up with fear in his eyes.

Both girls reached him then looked to where his gaze was fixed upon: the Woman was staring at a massive monster of a man wearing a torn and bloodied prison jumpsuit, his hands and forearms incased in two massive metal gauntlets with broken chains hanging off them. His eyes glowed a venomous orange with a twinge of dark purple, he opened his mouth and his sharp demon like fangs reflected the dying sunset.

Woman: Bobby get out of here... -she said calm as she kicked off her heels and took off her jewelry tossing aside, she then undid her hair; afterwards she removed a nearly invisible mask off which changed her appearance from a high class woman to Light gray scale skinned, near ten feet tall reptilian Humanimal, she roared loudly enough to shake the ground around them-... You two girls, take the kid and run... I don't know how long can I distract Gryhmn, NOW GO! -As she yelled the monster man punched her in the face with a dark power infused strike but she retaliated by tackling him into a support beam, completely mangling it-

Vhjil and Alú grabbed Bobby and ran away from the battle, running as quickly as their legs could go towards the hills housing Skjall's most rich and/or prominent people. The monster called Gryhmn was dodging the fierce attacks of the woman, even as she shrunk to match his size and out-pace his speed he was able to avoid most of her attacks; He struck her in the gut then kicked her away, she rolled up to her feet and got into some martial arts stance with a wide base and full extend right arm and left arm ready to strike with her claws:

Gryhmn: I knew you were never dead!... -he shouted in a excited and angry voice-... They said you were dead and buried, bloodline ended or imprisoned... Aza, I've missed you dearly. -he says as he stances up-... but it seems you, didn't want to see me again... -he says going back to a dark scowl-

Aza: You're an abomination that should've been put down I long time ago. -she says as stares at him-

Gryhmn: The thing is that this world is full of weakling unlike US, so I plan to continue the old plan and see that bitch through till the end! -he says before turning to see the city light up once more, lots of dark spots because of the exploding bits but overall the power was back-... I waited 87 years for our mutual acquaintance to be reincarnated and it turns out he's soul was separated into more than one person. -he looked over his shoulder-... Join me once more, sister... let's clean the world of humanity.

Aza: Nevermore I'll follow you, I made a bow to Khyber that I would follow his teachings... -she said to him before spitting on the floor-... I stopped being your sister when you broke the oath with made, you're my enemy. -he seemed hurt at her words, he looked down then clenched his teeth angrily-

Gryhmn: -his eyes turned black then the dark energy spewed from his body-... Then you burn with them!... -his body started to turn pitch black as he walked into a shadow then faded into it, vanishing in thin air-

Aza's form changed to a her normal mourning woman vide before a tear came down her cheek, she angrily punched the wall before taking a deep breath "This was never meant to happen Khyber... When he finds out of what we did..." she slid down a wall and tearlessly cried for a while before standing up and deciding to finding Bobby. "If Khyber planned to be reborn then he whomever his incarnations cannot die or so help me God, I'll kill Gryhmn even if it kills me" she said to herself before going out into the night.

DEAN'S RESIDENCE-

Tatsumi awoke in a cold sweat and sat upright looking around within Dean's hideout in his attic, he stood up but fell to the ground as he felt his legs weak underneath his weight; He slowly stood up then began to walk around and saw how many of Dean's boxes were scattered everywhere like if a brutal battle had taken place. he fell his legs heat up till his thighs lit up, he tripped onto the ground then crawled towards the hatch, he sat on the edge of the hatch as he tried getting the power back so he could climb down. he looks back and sees Nick, the ghoul who tied him up, laying on his back upon the attic's floor while entirely knocked out.

He slowly climbed down till he reached the bottom floor where he began seeing signs of struggle as well hand prints all over the area, many of house's paintings and pictures were on the floor or destroyed; He followed the chaos downstairs till he began hearing panting and sounds of stuff breaking, a fight. He tried running but his legs and his groin area was on fire, sore beyond anything he had ever felt however then he dragged himself towards the living room. He heard a massive crash then a loud yell from Dean followed by a few hard thuds against the walls which caused the monster-girl to moan in pain.

Tatsumi: Dean!... -he shouted as he heard both of them shouting at each other, incoherent words mixed with grunts and moans-... wait what the fuck?... -he says when he heard the softer moans in the background-... Dean...?... -he slowly stood up and opened the door, seeing Dean pounding the daylights out of the monster girl, luckily everything naughty was covered by a few conveniently misplaced hanging clothes and flower-pots-... What the fuck?!

Dean: Oh shit... -He looked at Tatsumi with a surprised expression, he thrusted into her slowly before he stopped... she was blushing very badly, it was boiling hot in the laundry room with all the steam caused by their apparent session of intercourse-... I can explain... -he pulled out from her getting her to whine in annoyance before he kissed her in very dominant fashion then slapped her ass, which Tatsumi scoffed at-... What?!... it's rude not to kiss if we don't finish alright...

He put his pants on then took Tatsumi to the living room and sat him down, Tatsumi was upset and perplexed at the situation he just witnessed; Dean served him a cup of coffee while he drank a pint of orange juice in two gulps, then looks at Tatsumi with a innocent look:

Dean: What?... -he sat down on his couch, he placed the empty pint on the coffee table then took a deep breath-... I know what it looks lik-

Tatsumi: YOU'RE FUCKING HER NOW?! -he shouted as he tried standing up but felt back onto the couch as his legs turned to jelly-... Owww~... Why are you fucking her?!... -he asked him with a confused look in his eye-... She's literally a interdimensional SEX DEMON, she feeds on your lifeforce.

Dean: Not anymore, she has submitted to me in a, like soul level... as long as she remains with me, she will remain healthy and beautiful but won't feel her heat for other people like in those old hentai videos from years ago. -he explains to him-... she's devoted to me fully, we've been having sex the entire day since like you passed out.

Tatsumi: The pint of orange juice, the Hot-box method and the fact you're wearing just jeans WHILE commando... bro, you're doing everything you mentioned that FUCKBOYS do when they have sex. -he said, he then took a sip of coffee-... Dude I'm just upset, at least she not trying to suck me dry... -he then sips more coffee-... But if she hurts you I'll... -Dean politely stopped him-

Dean: She would never... Apparently because I'm her master she must follow my every command and she can't turn me into a Incubus because she not Matriarch of her race... so win-win. -he said with a smile as Tatsumi furrowed his brow-... dude what you want me to say?!... "Sorry I didn't want to be a fucking virgin anymore"... I saw my chance to feel the best thing that God or gods or whatever higher power have ever created and I didn't take it... I RAMMED HARD BROTHER... -he said as he did pelvic thrust identical to how Ace Ventura did it in his first movie-

Tatsumi: -Takes a deep breath-... Okay, I get that... I'm proud of you man... but I'm just... just feel violated, literally and I can't bitch because Shrinks don't consider that possible for us guys, specially when it's Waisetsu-folk issue... -he said looking down-... I don't care, now that I think about it would have been incredible if wasn't so fucking terrifying to have her jump on me like a wild banshee, just... -he sighed deeply-... just be careful alright?... you're like a brother to me, you know right?

Dean: Bru, don't get all soft on me... -he rub his eye-... you gon' make me get all soft too... but aside of jokes, I get it man I'll be careful with her.

The Akaname came the laundry room and sat on Dean's lap, gently caressing his chest then going for a kiss but he pulled her off and sat her down on the couch; He looks at her with a serious face which made her concern, in which she sat straight on the couch:

Dean: Ava, get dressed in a decent outfit understand?... -she submissively nodded-... then go, Tatsumi and I are talking, then you apologize to him, understand? -he said firmly, surprising Tatsumi who had never seen Dean so serious since the Magic The Gathering Tourny at the high school six years ago-

Ava: Yes sir. -she tried leaving but was pulled back by Dean who planted a kiss on her lips then whispered something in her ear which made her blush fiercely and nod-... I'm sorry master, it won't happen again master. -he let go, then she flew up stairs and into Dean's sisters room, locking the door behind her-

Tatsumi: What the hell was that...? -he asked-

Dean: What happens when you're a Sigma-Male blessed by the power of a monster c- -a sudden explosion of the lights around the house cut them short, they both covered themselves from the glass as more lightbulbs, appliances and electronics blew apart or were fried by what both successfully deduced was a Arcane Mass Influx-... Oh shit, My fucking house!

Ava's tongue flew from the top of the stairs and snagged Dean then Tatsumi up and into the attic where she had intended to hide from the Influx for good reason; It turns out that Dean's attic was completely insulated from the sudden release of Arcane energy, sparring his technology, specifically his setup which he valued more than life itself. She showed off her love for Dean by tossing Tatsumi into a pile of boxes while gently placing Dean upon his makeshift bed then threw herself over him. After a long three, almost four minutes of the influx, it was gone, if Dean's warning screen was telling the truth:

Tatsumi: Holy shit!... that was an influx!... we have not seen that in so fucking long! -he shouted as he stood up with a bit more power than before-... that was fucking crazy!

Dean: Gods, It was stronger than the one we felt in Eden when we were kids... -he said to Tatsumi-... You good?... -he asked as he stood up and looked at his setup-... oh thank everything that is holy, my shit is good.

Ava: Master, are you alright? -she said as she leaned her head on his shoulder cutely-

Here is where Tatsumi had managed to take a real close look to the Akaname since their last encounter, she looked different like now she looked more Asian than her previous appearance, now her face had a close resemblance to Kasumi Arimura but a "Do a double-take" resemblance. her body was less overly-sexual and more refined, smoothly shaped with too-perfectly placed micro-patches of pigmentation on her butt, thighs, chest and arms that gave her a young and cute look. her hair was longer but had long white streaks hidden among the mane, her eyes were a very bright strawberry smoothie pink and she had pinkish freckles sprinkled, once again too perfectly, across her softer face, less sultry more of adorable and secretly a super kindhearted woman. she kinda glowed with youth and soft hearted energy.

She had toned down the Pornstar levels of sex appeal and de-aged herself from late-twenties to early twenties, including becoming three inches shorter, losing a full cup size and her butt become less jiggly and more firm like the butt of a gymnast. She had transformed into Dean's dream girl, not his sexual fantasy girl but his soulmate level dream girl, the perfect girl to spend time with, laugh with, to share an ice cream with; Something that Tatsumi knew since they were 12 and 9 respectively, when they stole Mr Gavinson's expensive vintage whiskey and got hammered, when Dean in his drunken state revealed those exact details before puking and passing out in the basement.

Tatsumi: Woah... -his mind was blown entirely at this realization, even more when he hugged her out of instinct as he checked his setup-... That's crazy...

Dean: What's crazy? -he asked as he looked at Tatsumi-

Tatsumi: Nothing, Nothing dude... kinda low-key realized the carnage up here. -he lied-

Dean: Yeah, Ava and I kind went a bit crazy after we woke up from the first round... -he blushed a bit embarrassed as he rubbed the back of his head, Ava looked embarrassed but happy in a cute way as she pressed her face onto his chest-... tore up the attic before we kinda fell downstairs b-b-b-b-but that's not the point right now, come here... look at what's happening at New Eden... -he pointed at his screen-

"INFLUX!, BATTLE AGAINST INSURGENT REBELS CAUSE ISLAND-WIDE SHOCKWAVE" the images on screen seem a bit staticky as the cameras were starting to recover from the magically charged electromagnetic pulse, it showed the Kanari Special Operations operatives fighting a bunch of rebels, normal people wearing ammo belts and anti-governmental propaganda graffiti and/or designs on their clothing. They shot and killed a young Neko-girl who was holding a shotgun while crouch walking behind some newspaper stand, the rebels began to retreat by throwing Purple, white and Gold smoke screens at the soldiers, the colors of the "Vox", the colors of the Old Kanari flag.

"We just managed to get audio functioning for our cameras ladies and gentlemen, this the scene here at New Eden, these vile insurgents fighting the brave men and women of our law enforcement in Guerilla tactics within the overgrown parts of our once respected capital city. One of the agents and multiple eye-witnesses state that the rebels sabotaged the Arcane Regulating Substations in the west side of the city so they could distract the authorities while they smuggled more narcotics and illegal firearms into the sewers where is believed they live among their fellow rats" the newscaster spoke into the microphone in his hands like he was dictator trying to convince the world of his views being correct.

Dean stopped the live feed and pulled up the underground feeds of the Island, seeing the chaos from the underbelly of the cities and seeing the different gangs and mobs already picking sides even arguing about who's fault is it and who they should blame. He felt fear at the countless feeds littered with hundreds of messages of people picking sides and tearing at each others "truths" and assumptions on the matter. He knew this would be international headline sooner than later...

Dean: It's already spreading... -he says before he sees a video being posted in the darkweb feed on Kanari's super prison having a massive riot-... Holy shit...

Ava: Master?... -she watched too, so did Tatsumi-

The video was of inmates running out down the bridge that separated the prison from the Island, trying to escape before the automated turrets powered back on, while also avoiding being gunned down by the guards whom fired their high power machineguns from above; The person recording was gasping at the bloodshed however it moved away the camera as the turrets powered on and started mowing the escapees down before they could reach the city, a few inmates made it into the city and disappeared into it's dark corners while others fought their way through the first responders at the scene. The video ends when the person recording is shot dead by a inmate wielding a stolen rifle, running on the opposite rooftop.

Dean: Holy fuck... -he says as he cuts the feed and then grabs his phone seeing that he has a lot of texts messages from friends, his gaming buddies among others; He answered only one which he texted them quickly-... this is crazy... -he says as the security feed is activated, he looks around his neighborhood with the cameras to see if anyone was out but only the Dickens seemed to be outside on their drive-way trying call with their smart-phones-

Tatsumi: Dude how bad is it out there?

Dean: A few dudes escaped from the prison, the cops are hunting them... -he says a bit on edge all of a sudden-

Tatsumi: You're worried about your Step-Brother aren't you? -he asked before Dean looked away from his setup and to his best friend-

Dean: I told you before, he's not related to me he was adopted... but yeah, Reggie's been in jail 11 years already and he wasn't exactly someone to let an opportunity like this slip by him, for all I know that Idiot may have tried to escape and gotten himself killed. -he responded before sitting down and putting down the phone to look at Tatsumi-

Tatsumi: Reggie is a badass but he would never try to break the law even after... you know... -he responded-

Dean: You never know how 11 years could change someone. -he answered quickly-

After a few long minutes both say their goodbyes before Tatsumi gets on his car and tries to turn it on but it shook for a second before the hood exploded open with a pillar smoke which Tatsumi stared at with total shock as his car's engine spurted out sparks and the battery exploded into pieces, electric sparks landing on the driveway and on the hood which was lightly burned. His pride and joy, the car he bought after countless hours of hard work, a precious part of his life. Dean shouted something but Tatsumi was just in shock, the car rumbled as the Hood collapsed off and landed on the floor in front of which scared him to the ground, however before his car could harm him he was pick up to his feet then pulled away as his car burst into flames as the fuel line burst and oil cannister ruptured by the the battery exploded.

"Dude you alright?... You nearly got blown up!" asked in concern a woman, said woman had pulled him back before the car exploded thanks to the severe effects of the influx, thankfully the young man was spared from dying in the blast. Vhjil stood up and helped Tatsumi up, Alú stood staring at the destroyed car like this was a catastrophe while Tatsumi looked back at his car and back at Vhjil:

Tatsumi: -he hugged Vhjil, looking away from his car, his chest aching harder than the bottom half of his body-... God...

Vhjil: Ow shit, you're a hugger... -she awkwardly let him continue the hug, she patted him in the shoulder trying to comfort him-... It's okay dude... it's okay...

The trio heard a shriek like one a very excited fan in a concert, A sound that Vhjil had nearly forgotten, they all turned to look at the origin of the scream and Tatsumi saw that Dean was astonished, slowly walking towards him; He pulled out a notebook and a pen then asked Vhjil for an autograph:

Tatsumi: WTF?... -He said as Vhjil locked eyes with Dean-

Dean: I'm not worthy to be in your presence, Miss Valera, I beg of you... Give me your autograph... please, to be in your presence is to be in-front of a gaming legend. -he said to her while kneeling down onto one knee and held his hands up which held the notebook and pen-

Vhjil silently grabs the notebook and pen shortly after being let go by Tatsumi, she signs the notebook earning a very energetic jump into the air with a fist up, plus a loud "YA-HOO!" like a old cartoon character; He dances the "Shuffle" dance that was used increasingly in the Mid-2010s by the music group "LMFAO", he then laughs loudly before kissing Ava who just showed up:

Dean: This. Is. The. BEST DAY EVER! -He shouts into the air before picking up Ava in a bride style carry then kicked the door of his house open then yeets Ava onto the couch before Hulk Hogan style tears off his shirt then leaps onto the couch outside eyesight from the others; this leads to an tired, groggy and zombie looking Nick coming out of the house, pale and with a sickly looking expression on his face-

Nick: -turns his head over his shoulder to look towards the front door then looks back at the group outside-... Like What the fuck did I miss...?... -his eyes rolls back to his head and he crashes to the floor, completely out cold which then leads to all three looking all terrifyingly astonished look in their faces, nearly pissing themselves at Nick keeling over-

Vhjil, Tatsumi & Alú: WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?! -All three shout simultaneously, freaking out at the sight-

As they all three freak out, Bobby come out of nowhere completely winded from trying to keep up with the duo of Non-Human girls, he looks the trio freaking out before he stepping up to the group:

Bobby: Don't freak out, I'm here! -he says with glee while standing there with his hands to his sides; he slowly realizes that they ain't screaming about him-... What's... wrong? -he questions before the scene goes dark-

SOMEWHERE IN THE INNER KANARI AREAS-

The creature from before who had destroyed the bus in the city of Scion, was dragging a body into a rooftop up some stairs towards a helicopter landing pad then she lays the corpse upon the ground and drives it's claws into it's abdomen, it's claws tear a gap where the creature then proceeds to pull the deceased man's liver. As it devours the liver vigorously a dark figure sneaks up behind it and pulls back it's fist then striking the beast in the head, launching it flying down the helicopter pad down onto a air-conditioner unit, violently crashing down to the ground.

The Beastly woman convulses violently as her skull was crack wide open from the massive strike, blood seeping down her nose, eyes & ears then then more comes out her mouth starting to create a pool underneath of her. The Hulking figure turns out to be Gryhmn, who proceeds to grab her by the neck and strike her head multiple times killing her before standing over her body; He growls angrily before stomping down hard upon her chest crushing her heart inside her chest, making sure she's dead seeing she's non-human.

From her Body, Gryhmn adsorbs what looks like her soul bounded together with bright orange energy swirling around it, he adsorbs it into his fist which is encased in his dark energy, his body's veins and arteries glowed bright orange and swell till their very visibly around his ripped body. He roars loudly in a primal fashion where his voice was entwinned with the beast woman's voice, the force of the roar crushed the Helicopter pad to nothing to rubble.

He smiles evilly before looking at the city as his power surges brighter and stronger than before... his bloodlust had decreased but his power was clearly surging like beacon off his chiseled body. He then dissipated into arcane dust into the night sky & winds.
