Panda Pov:

"Everyone thinks I'm this upbeat buxom girl who easily gets angry unlike the others in Seabrook, but it wasn't like that all the time. I used to be normal and had a mother who had high hopes for me before she passed away which left people to send me from one foster home to another. It was then I found out what my father did and decided to go into the Body Bagging business, I didn't know what I was getting into after I saw him take out his first target. I could have run and changed my identity to someone else, but where would be the fun in that? If I hadn't stayed with the old man, then I wouldn't be in a pack with a werewolf and a zombie who had taken out the same jerks that my dad had before I stepped into his life. But that was back when I was a brat, now? I'm a certified lady with a dating life and not to worry about anything, except for the leopard coat-wearing bastard who doesn't know how to stay dead!"


Morning-The Jones House

The next day came to Seabrook with the looming threat of Mary Lovecraft being hidden from everyone, except people close to them since they needed to avoid going to public areas. Revenant wanted his adoptive parents and the enhanced zombies he considered siblings to be warned about what was happening. Having gathered everyone in the living room to inform them about the living embodiment of horror, they were left speechless.

"Can we leave Seabrook?"

Cortex asked Susan and Mathew about wanting to head out of Seabrook to prevent coming into contact with any of the slashers. The humans didn't say anything since they were focused on learning Quill had come back but was dead and being a part of whatever Mary had planned for Seabrook.

"I just can't believe it. I mean, for him to pass away and then be brought back from the dead? I don't know if I should feel glad or upset since we didn't know he died."

Susan responded to the return of Seabrook's former general who originally ran Sentinel and was responsible for keeping the zombie population from overwhelming Seabrook. Only to take it to extreme lengths by framing Zed's game and stealing Revenant's blood to handle them once and for all.

"What matters is that the Lobster told me and everyone is Mary's literal monsters are in Seabrook causing god knows what trouble. Brittney told the mayor about the likelihood of some incidents happening and Addison telling her dad, so they don't freak out. We're trying to prevent mass panic."

Revenant responded to his mom about what the plan was and how they would keep whatever happens as quiet as possible since the fear everyone would make would help Mary's true intention for him and Zed. After he finishes the conversation and waits for any other responses from his family, the only one to make a gesture is the mutated zombie fish, Sal. Who saw no issue with them and thought he'd take a chance in fighting them.

"Not trying to start trouble but I got a few skills of my own that not even you know about. Including becoming the defacto leader of the Ceto because I'm half aquatic."

He told Rev that the enhanced zombie wasn't the only one who could look after everyone. Having heard that and looking at his parents to see if it was true, Susan and Mathew confirmed that Sal had managed to become a representative of the Merfolk community.

"If that's real then you shouldn't be fighting at all. A leader has to look after the people he looks after, the Jones did it for me and did it for all of you. And now without even coming to me about this, you're the Ceto's leader. Meaning you have responsibilities now."

The zombie told Sal that instead of coming to him or anyone about this news of becoming the new representative of the Ceto. This left the undead fish to bear his fangs toward Revenant thinking that he was in charge and giving him an order.

"Last time I remembered, you're not the boss of me. Because you never decided to check up on us since you were distracted with Seabrook and having a life. Including responsibilities of your own in looking after a new girlfriend whose dad is a killer."

Sal informed Revenant for not having a chance to talk to him or Cortex and Mist after years of living Seabrook in Sentinel and his friends instead of talking to zombies that were like him. Hearing the response from Sal caused Rev's eyes to glow faint green for bringing up the years he neglected talking to the three. The others watched the standoff between Rev and Sal who looked like they were going to start a fight in the living room.

"Boys. You two may be able to do impossible things that no human can do, but if I see one punch thrown in this house. I will ground you here for a whole year that you'll redo the senior year again."

Mathew threatened them from not graduating high school and made the two take another year at Seabrook High. Surprised at how quick their adoptive father was to the threat, they said nothing but sat back down on the couch and apologized for the arguing since it was wrong for them to go against each other.

"And that's one of the reasons why I married him. He knows how to put his foot down."

Susan told Mist and Cortex about what she saw in her husband which left the two to shutter at her acting romantic. With the moment settled, they heard the doorbell ring, Cortex decided to answer the door since he wanted to see who wanted to visit them. The telepathic zombie went over to open the door to see the Body Bagger family, Mack Delgado, and Panda.

"Hi, Papi."

Panda waved to Revenant and smiled which made the zombie sigh in embarrassment that Sal was half right about being responsible for her since she was in a pack with him and Wynter. Walking over to greet him and the Jones since she would it exciting to meet his parents who weren't stubborn and welcomed her with open arms. Mack noticed the family meeting happening as he walked into the house with a file in his hand.

"Since your ghost told me that Cisco being the undead stiff that's going show his face around town. Thought you get a brief history on what you're going kill."

Mack told Revenant about going up against the man he and Panda killed back in Terminus. Handing him the file for him to read, Rev cleaned his glasses to take a look at the information Mack gave him since it helped the zombie brief him on who the slasher was.

"Cisco Valentine. A former Body Bagger director who sent lackeys and psychopaths on jobs that required people to keep quiet. He got pissed off after I took out a client of his and wanted to kill me himself, he didn't get the chance when I stabbed him through the heart and Panda fired his brains out."

Summarizing the influence he had back in Terminus and sending Body Baggers after him and Panda. The Jones and enhanced zombies didn't know how to respond to the history lesson since this would be Revenant's problem and would have to deal with it.

"Not to try and pry into this talk about handling deranged killers who came back from the dead. But isn't there another way to handle this without resorting to violence?"

Cortex asked the Body Baggers if there was a way to resolve facing off the slasher that didn't involve Revenant or anyone to getting their hands dirty. Mack glared at the big-headed zombie who suggested that they handle this differently than how he and Panda handled killers back in Terminus.

"I don't there is another way. I've spent time with Goon to learn that while some people believe that seems impossible to be saved, what he told me about people like Zombie Priest? They can't be helped. They need to be stopped, much like Cisco. Right?"

Mist explained to her brother how this was one of the moments where violence was needed to handle someone who meant harm to the people Revenant looked after. Mack didn't respond but allowed the look on his face to answer her explanation as it was the truth that certain individuals deserved to be put in the ground for everyone's safety. From his perspective, it was a job that needed to be handled thoroughly.

"Well. Pops is going handle the other slashers if they show their ugly mugs around town, you and I are hooking up with a couple of friends to go after Cisco. Now let's get going!"

Panda told Revenant and grabbed him by the arm as she excitedly pulled him off his seat and took him out of the house for them to meet up with their friends and handle Cisco Valentine. Meanwhile, Mathew decided to take the kids out in the back to get some fresh air and help continue controlling their powers in case the slashers appeared around them. Left in the living room were Mack and Susan, who were staring at each other for what could be described as an interesting conversation.

"You got any coffee in this place?"

He asked for something to drink, Susan acknowledged him with a cup as she went to the kitchen to make him a cup. Mack waited in the living room and took a look outside where the Body Bagger watched Mathew with the adolescent teenagers spending time together like a family, despite him being a human around three zombies with powers.

"Clown face? That's a good name. I mean you have to something humorous to use when you're working, but when it comes to my kids? I don't joke around."

Susan responded to Mack as she brought up the name he used whenever he'd fight someone. Much like how he wore the mask when he and Revenant fought back at his house a couple of weeks ago. Walking with a cup of coffee for her guest, Mack saw the calm look on her face which showed the resilience she'd have in raising someone like Revenant.

"Now, I've accepted the fact that Panda likes my son and decided to be with him and Wynter. And I've been told how much she'd been through before moving to Seabrook. However, if you ever try hurting my son again. You'll wish you were fighting him instead of me."

She threatened him in a pleasant tone before offering him his coffee and allowed Mack to stay as long as he liked before leaving. Watching the adoptive mother go back with Mathew and the others, Mack saw something in Susan's eyes that reminded him of Panda's mother. A fire that could make someone like him say nothing and respect her; it was one of the reasons why he had to leave her. The world needed strong people to stand up to brutes like himself and show no fear. The Body Bagger decided to drink his coffee in peace while watching the family thinking how his life would be different if he remained with Panda's mom and decided to hang up his blades and be normal.


Later-Seabrook Dance Studio

Having dragged Revenant to where Cisco would be since she knew what type of man he was when it came to being the center of attention, despite being undead. The pair were right now waiting at a table having milkshakes while waiting for backup since they would need backup in handling him. Panda looked over at the zombie boy and felt anxious about fighting the same person who was responsible for putting her on the path of being a Body Bagger.

"Sorry If my dad acted like a bear that woke up from a hangover. He's been screaming all night about wanting to go at Cisco again but got told he could handle someone who could give him an actual fight. Leaving you and me to handle it, along with the others since they have to lend a hand."

Panda said annoyingly since she wanted to do this with Revenant since they were packmates and could handle the slasher Body Bagger together. She looked at the zombie who was thinking to himself about not being the one to handle Quill, much to his dismay since he wanted a rematch with the general.

"Anyway, since there's no sign of Valentine. I was wondering how this pack thing works, is it like those polygamous things?"

Questioning about the relationship she was in after Wynter licked her nose and formed a pack between her and Revenant. Hearing that question made the cough from his beverage which made Panda smirk at how she managed to interrupt his thinking about Quill.

"I mean. Packs have always been around for centuries and weren't included for just werewolves, but in our case, it's not complicated. One of us provides for the pack and keeps everyone together while the rest protect one another."

He summarized the meaning of them being in a pack and looking after each other. Panda could see it was embarrassing for him to talk about it since it was a first for both of them, it was also a way to help him think about something other than facing Mary's undead soldiers.

"Guess that means I have to find a way to help support you and the werewolf. And I can think of some ideas."

She teased him which made Revenant flustered at what she was talking about. The zombie noticed Vlad and Nightwing walking over to them which annoyed Panda since she wanted to talk to him more before they got to work.

"Why aren't you two in the building? He might have started doing heaven knows what in there?"

Nightwing questioned the two since instead of looking for Cisco inside the Dance Studio, they were outside enjoying a beverage. Just as he questioned them, a scream was heard from inside which was perfect timing for them as Revenant was waiting for either Cisco to notice them or vice versa. The four rushed passed the crowd who were fleeing from the building as they made their way inside to see Cisco with a demented smile on his face and spinning a cane around on the dancefloor. Enjoying the screaming that was being made, he noticed the four coming into the studio along with Panda being with them.

"Tuna Tramp. Finally, I was waiting till I could finally get revenge on you. And I noticed you decided to ditch Daddy Dearest and hook up with someone. Or, one of those two since you always had a type for the freaky ones."

Cisco Valentine commented on Panda's taste in men which resulted in the girl pulling out her pistol on him and firing a shot into his forehead. Only for it to do nothing and make the Slasher smile at her for attempting to end this quickly.

"That was a bad idea."

Vlad announced as he pulled out his butcher knives preparing for whatever Cisco might do next since slashers were unpredictable and dangerous. Raising his cane in the air and hitting the ground with it, he closed all the doors and windows to keep them from getting out. Revenant looked at his amulet to glow as there was more to the jacket-wearing slasher Valentine as he hit the DJ system to start up some music to help set the mood.

"Hey! Walk the night. Hey, gonna walk the night. Hey! Walk the night. Hey, gonna walk the night. Hey! Walk the night. I'm gonna walk the night!"

The undead Body Bagger shouted as he would sing them a song before taking their lives with his bare hands. The group prepared themselves as they circled Cisco who spun his cane around showing no signs of running away as he was relishing the tension.

"Creeper gonna reaper gonna creep and walk the night. All right, all right, look out, night. Creeper got mad and angry eyes, one look from him can paralyze. Resist at any time or place, creeper done slap right 'cross your face!"

He shouted before whacking Nightwing across his face sending him flying into tables which showed that the Slasher had unnatural strength that could rival Vlad and Revenant. Surprised at how quick the large man was, Revenant pulled out his Z gun and changed it into a sword, and rushed Valentine. The two were caught in a standstill as he could feel the undead Body Bagger's strength overwhelming him.

"Look out! Take care, 'cause I'm gonna get ya good!"

Cisco told him before spinning out of the standoff and using the top of his cane to electrocute him which made the zombie move away from the Body Bagger. Panda rushed to take Revenant's place as she pulled out another pistol from her side and started firing off rounds at him. Only for Cisco to dodge each bullet with frightening speed.

"Hey! Walk the night. Hey, gonna walk the night. Hey! walk the night. Hey, gonna walk the night. Hey! walk the night. I'm gonna walk the night!"

Continuing his song despite being shot at with Cisco moving toward a chair and kicking into Panda which knocks her to the ground. Vlad deciding to go next, managed to take him on and he was able to stab him through the chest. Raising Cisco in the air, Cisco ignored the wounds as he held the large man's arms to prevent him from opening his chest.

"Upon his lips the taste of pain, venom kiss of love insane. He's got a rod beneath his coat, he′s gonna ram right down your throat. Make you grovel on the floor. Spit up and scream and beg for more!"

He announced before kicking Vlad's face with both feet, the group saw Cisco flying in the air before landing gracefully on his feet. Chuckling at the unnatural power that Mary Lovecraft had given him with the assistance of Zombie Priest, he looked over at Revenant as he was going to electrocute him with his cane.

"I'll whip ya good. And tear you down!"

Informing Revenant before going for the head and preparing to pierce the zombie's head with his cane. Stopping the cane from hitting his face, Revenant pushed back as he saw Cisco's cane generating electricity before his eyes.

"Come on! Lay down, love it. I'm taking you out!"

Cisco spoke as he prepared to finish his song with electrocuting Revenant until he a charred corpse. The zombie lets out a frustrated yell before throwing the slasher off him which leads him into Nightwing's blade, feeling it going through his chest. The fruitpire hisses toward him before hurling him over to Vlad where the large man punches the exposed wound causing Cisco's black heart to fall out of his body. The slasher was scared and tried to get it back, only for him to see Panda's foot on top of it with her holding the same chair he used to attack her.

"Your singing sucks."

She commented to him on the performance before slamming the chair on Cisco's heart. Seeing his vital organ going splat caused the slasher to shake violently before hitting the floor. Huffing from delivering the final blow, Panda rushed to Revenant and helped him up since he was still shaking off from being electrocuted.

"Is this one of those 'ways' of supporting the pack?"

Revenant joked with Panda as she smiled at him trying to crack a joke after almost being fried. Vlad looked over to Nightwing and could see how despite being an expert fighter, the fruitpire didn't expect to be taken down so easily.

"One of the ways of ending a slasher's life is going for the heart."

Vlad informed him of how Panda managed to end Cisco's afterlife by destroying the heart. Having been notified and seeing that it was the only means of taking them out. Pulling out his phone to contact Sentinel agents to handle clean up, he would report to Brit about taking out the undead Body Bagger. Leaving only two Slashers left to handle and need to be ready once the others encounter them.
