Chapter Eleven: New Lady in Town

(Play BLOODY STREAM!, By Coda)

(WITCH May Cry: Drake's Awakening!)

(Shijima no soko kara! Mezameru sono hashiratachi toki wo koe! Shinku no chishio ga!)

A red silhouette of Drake appeared as he formed his guns gangster style on top of each other. He later switched to a spin kick leaving after images as he continued to kick before reaching for Rebellion. He swung it forward cutting the screen in half, switching as he rested it on his shoulder. The screen changed to show three silhouette of evil beings leaving a long shadow as they stared at something. Before a transition changed to show several people such as Trish, a picture of Dante, Trish and young Dante, Yan Lin, and a screaming Blunk.

It changed to a pink silhouette of Will in her Guardian form as she threw punches and kicks, lightning sparked whenever she threw a kick and punch. Around her neck as the Heart of Kandracar. The image changed to show light blue silhouette of Irma as she spin kicked the air with water trailing behind her before firing a blast of water. Than a green silhouette of Cornelia appeared as she punched the ground, causing spikes to rupture from the ground. And finally a red silhouette of Taranee appeared as she balled her fist, flames engulfing it before she swung it.

(Tachiagaru yuuki wo hikiawaseru! Uketsugu ai wo sadame to yobu nara! Hohoemu me de tsugi no te wo!)

The image a purple silhouette of a woman threw a punch, Drake catching it as they trade blows before revealing their features. The woman had short black hair, red supple lips and glasses as she smiled at Drake. It changed to show Hay Lin grey silhouette while dancing like a ballerina before tripping over herself. The scene changed to show Trish, her hair blowing and moving against the wind while she was naked. She soon spun in the air into a cycle before disappearing, in her place was the Heart of Kandracar.

The Heart dangled in the air before several hands reached for it, trying to gain its power before each hand disappeared. Soon several more people appeared: starting with Caleb, a woman with blue and red eyes with a giant rocket launcher on her back, an orange haired woman with a white dress clapping her hands together and praying, a bald African male with a fat Italian dangling under him, a white haired woman with a red skin tight suit, and finally a white hair man with a katana in hand.

(Yami wo azamuite setsuna wo kawashite! Yaiba surinuke yatsura no suki wo tsuke! Tsuranuita amoi ga mirai wo hiraku!)

A red silhouette of a being with red eyes appeared as bolts of lightning shot from his hands as he raised his hands to the Heavens before disappearing a flash of light. Another figure dropped to the ground glaring at something, before his body transformed into something grotesque and slithered away. Finally one last figure appeared but this time he had six blood red eyes as he spun around while his hand transformed into an energy blade slicing through the screen.

The screen changed to show the three figures, the cloaked one standing in front. While the snake like figure coiled around the others as it towered over all of them. The final one stood to the side as he held onto someone's shoulder. Under all of them was a young blonde girl was covered by the shadow as they appeared on top of a giant tower. Below them stood Drake and the girls in their Guardian forms preparing for a fight.

The next image changed to show the Heart of Kandracar moving across the screen, lighting up the six eyed beings face revealing green skin and demonic smile. Before changing to show a blood red moon rising from the Earth while a single being with goat like horns, dragon wings and blood red eyes as it zoomed on its eyes.

(Like a Bloody Storm! Atsuka like a Bloody storm! Ketsumyaku ni kizamareta innen ni!)

Drake appeared pulling out Rebellion and slicing an X in the air, before disappearing from sight. Next came Will in her Guardian form as she spun kick the air leaving a trail of electricity behind her. Irma appeared as she threw her arms out as water appeared from thin air before followed Taranee as her eyes burned red with fire as she blasted fire from her hands. Next came in Cornelia as she slammed her fist together causing several rocks to fly out of the ground and floating around her as she smirked. Finally Hay Lin as she took a deep breath before unleashing a powerful gust of wind, blowing out the fire and ending with a wink.

(Ukia kienai hokori no kizuna! Nigirishimete!)

Drake appeared in the night sky as she slipped on a long red coat and finally putting on his hat. He stared at the sky before screaming to the Heavens, his body engulfed in a bright light as he took a transformation. A pillar shot through the sky and finally ending with the stars.

(WITCH May Cry: Drake's Awakening!)

(Outside of Heatherfield)

On top of a hill that lead into Heatherfield, a being sat on a motorcycle as they stared through binoculars at the city below them. They pulled the binoculars down and stared at Heatherfield. After years of searching throughout cities across the US they had finally found what they were looking for.

"I finally found you."

(Sparda Residence)

"I never got this movie." Drake commented as he ate the popcorn from the bowl in his lap. He, Will and the others sat on his couch as they watched the remake of The Jungle Book as it was entering the credits. It's been a couple days after Will's birthday and the whole fiasco with Cedric at the museum they got to take a break from dealing with them.

Now they sat around with Will sitting on his right and Irma on his left, Taranee and Cornelia sat on Irma's other side and Hay Lin with Will. Caleb sat on the armchair next to the couch and Blunk sat between Drake's feet eating popcorn. In the kitchen Trish continued to clean dishes from the dinner they all had. Trish invited them for two reasons: One to congratulate them for defeating Cedric and two: Placing a seal on them. Once they entered the home Trish marked a demon seal on their necks so no Demon could drag them into Limbo or sniff them out. It's how the Hunter Demon hasn't been able to find them, and Trish has placed them on all of their family members when she invited them all to dinner the other day.

"What do you mean? This movie made so much sense." Hay Lin said, Drake shrugged his shoulders.

"What I didn't get was Mowgli and the animals. Does he like understand them, or is he speaking in animal tongue?"

"It's a movie Drake, the fact that animals talk doesn't make sense or is possible." Taranee answered. Drake gave her a deadpan stare before leaning down and picking up Blunk. He held up the troll like creature as he gave Taranee a 'really' look.

"... Touche." Taranee said as he dropped Blunk and stood up from his spot.

"Do animals in your world talk?" Caleb asked, fascinated by such advanced technology and how this moving box could produce such magic.

"I hope not, demons, interdimensional snake men, and fairy girls are enough for me." Cornelia said as she stretched her limbs for not moving for an hour and a half.

"So what now? Play games? How about Doom?" Drake suggested going for his Xbox.

"Oh wait I got something!" Hay Lin exclaimed as she jumped up from the couch, gaining the others attention. She guided Drake back to his spot and walked towards the center of the room.

"What is it Hay-Lin?" Irma asked as the Wind Guardian stood on her tiptoes, everyone saw how she held a massive grin on her face. Everyone watched as Hay Lin stood in front of the TV.

"I was thinking our team now needed a redo since Drake is on the team so I give you WITCHD!" Hay Lin exclaimed.

"WITCHD? Like a silent E?" Taranee asked.

"Yep, and what team would we be without our team costumes!"

"... Our what?" Will asked. Hay Lin started spinning around like she was some kind of air tornado sucking in everything around her including food and other ornaments. She stopped spinning too reveal herself in a new costume. It was something you would see from a saturday morning superhero cartoon: Wearing a H on her green chest, a small cape that reached her legs and a green mask over her eyes. The team would have been in awe had their hair not be scruffled and Trish in the kitchen trying to catch every dish from breaking.

"I am the Twirling Winds!"

"Twirling Winds?" Taranee asked.

"We are the Protectors of Justice!"

"I thought we fought dimensional beings? We fight for Justice?" Will asked.

"We are WITCHD!" Hay Lin exclaimed holding her cape and flapping it like she was a superhero.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...I refuse to wear such a thing." Drake said crossing his arm. He would have slumber parties, he would fight Cedric over and over again…..but he would never put on a costume like that.

"Come on guys!" Hay Lin said dropping the act, and pulling out several costumes from behind her back. How she did that no one knows. "I made all these matching costumes."

"...Nope." Cornelia said. Hay Lin sighed in defeat and in a twirl of winds she was back in normal clothing. "Besides are those suppose to protect us from...you know, them?" Cornelia asked hoping to not get the attention of those who shall not be named.

"Do not worry, Cornelia." Trish walking around her counter and placing a hand on the Earth Guardian shoulder, a small red circle appeared over Cornelia neck. "So long as the seals are there, the demons can do no harm."

"That is very convenient too." Drake said rubbing his neck trying to reach the mark on his back.

"Perks of being a demon." Trish said smirking.

"I worked so hard on the costume." Hay Lin grumbled making the others to giggle at her.

"Don't worry Hay Lin, I'll keep those for Halloween." Trish said uplifting Hay Lin spirit, before turning to the girls. "However perhaps you kids should be getting ready for bed, after all you have school tomorrow."

"Ya think being dimension protectors we get days off….but no." Drake groaned making Will and Irma to giggle before he was bonked on the head by his Mom.

"And taking days off doesn't fix your grades." Trish retorted before smiling at the girls, ignoring the grumbling son. "Why don't you all get home before your parents overload my home phone." The girls agreed and started packing up and heading for the door.

"Bye Drake!" Hay Lin waved dragging Caleb and Blunk along.

"See ya guys tomorrow." Irma waved goodbye.

"Goodnight." Taranee said waving goodbye.

"Night cutie." Cornelia said swinging her hair around. Drake was pretty oblivious to the flirting but Will wasn't. She did not not like the way Cornelia was with Drake…...but why should she care? It's not like she and Drake were in a relationship. Maybe it was because it was Cornelia or something….yeah that's it.

"Night Willy." Drake chuckled as the red head giggled at her nickname.

"Night Drakey." Will retorted waving goodbye as everyone returned to their homes and fell asleep.

(Next Day, Shellfield School)

"What's going on again?" Drake asked as he leaned on the seat in the Auditorium with the girls in the front row. Apparently the school was having this big assembly for something, for Drake and Will this was there first in Heatherfield so they were confused on what was going on.

"I heard we're getting a new history teacher." Taranee whispered in his ear while the Principal tapped on the mic to silence the students.

"Students. I would like to welcome our newest history teacher: Dean Collins." All the students clapped as a man in his thirties with blonde hair and a blonde mustache walked up the stage and towards the mic. He seemed pretty dull with nothing very special about him in anyway, though maybe that was just from everones perspective.

"Thank you, and good morning." Mr. Collins said smiling at all the students. "I've been told Shellfield prides itself o-" However despite him talking none of the students besides a certain group really cared, hell even Irma was started to drift off but was awoken by Hay Lin elbow. Honestly Drake really didn't care, maybe it was because he wasn't one for history. That is unless it involved his family, call it bias but you would be too if you was half demon.

"That's why this year, we're going to hold Community Service Day a month early."

This got a reaction as all the students started gasping and freaking out from the revelation.

"A month early?" Cornelia asked, fear in her tone.

"A month early?" Irma repeated in shock.

"A monph earli?" The idiot Uriah repeated with gum from his shoe in his mouth…..Gross.

"Is it just me or is everyone freaking out?" Drake whispered in Will's ear, noticing all the students shocked faces.

"No, they are definitely freaking out." Will whispered back as Mr. Collins continued.

"I was impressed to hear that you love Community Service so much that you rush to school early on Sign up day." Collins said enthusiastically, not noticing all the scared looks.

"...This is Hell." Drake muttered rubbing his nose in irritation at the idea of waking up early. After a few more minutes of talking the Principal ended the assembly allowing all the students to leave. The group along with Elyon walked through the hallway, Elyon venting her frustration.

"Of course we come early! Oh man I hate Community Service Day." Elyon cried in a cartoon style as she grabbed Drake's arm for comfort. The Sparda didn't really care as he pocketed his hand, while Will glared at Elyon for the action. "I'm gonna be standing in the Parking Lot with a pen in my hair."

"Mmmmaybe I'll sleep in my locker." Taranee groaned, thinking of solutions to their problem, mainly hers.

"Sheesh, I didn't think Community Service was this bad." Drake said as Elyon let go of him.

"Seriously guys, what is Community Service Day?" Will asked. Sure she understood the idea of Community Service, but her and Drake's school never had such a thing….mainly because Drake and Will never focused on those and kept to themselves and having fun. This of course did get some sort of detention or extra work for not attending but they didn't really care. The girls led Drake and Will to a Board in the hallway, standing in front of it.

"Okay. Tomorrow morning there's gonna be a list on this board. 400 jobs for 400 kids." Irma explained as they stared at the board.

"Out of those, maybe ten won't totally stink." Cornelia groaned.

"And the last kids to sign up get the most gagarific ones." Hay Lin added.

"It can't be that bad." Will said nonchalantly. With the demons and the whole dimensional snake men this can't be horrible. She knew her friends were just overreacting over this whole thing, which isn't that new.

"Oh no? Try Monkey Bar scraper at the Zoo." Cornelia shivered at the memory. All those bananas and the hair pulling, it was a nightmare.

"You had it easy!" Irma growled pointing at her chest. "I was a sewer ladder painter, fricken rats and all that disgusting sewage." Irma couldn't help but gag at the thought again, nearly barfing her breakfast, that's how bad it was.

"O-Okay, got it, get here early." Will said with eyes as big as dinner plates.

"...This is gonna be Hell." Drake muttered smacking his forehead. Not only did he have to wake up early, which was already stupid, but now he had to be one of the first here and get one of the non crappy jobs.

(Later, Cornelia Room)

"Alright, let's say…...Six AM." Cornelia decided setting the alarm clock. She will not be late this time, no one can stop her.

"Mom says you have to play Wobbly Wobbly Walrus with me."

…..Except her annoying little sister Lillian. Glaring at her little sister Cornelia huffed in annoyance and flipped the blankets over her legs. Not even her sister will stop her from being late to school…..god she hated Community Service day.

"Beat it, Shrimp. I'm going to bed early, and if you do ANYTHING to ruin my sleep, I will personally drop kick you at the Wolf Pit at the Zoo." Cornelia threatened as she laid down.

"Your mean!"

"I'm not mean. Wolves are mean. Go." Cornelia growled turning the lights off. Lillian slammed the door in anger stomping away while Cornelia rolled over and fell asleep. She slept with a dream of a certain half demon half human in it, another individual slipped into the room. Lillian snuck towards her sister bed, a devious smirk on her face as she plotted to mess her sister day up tomorrow. This is what Cornelia gets for being a bad sister. Lilian slowly reached for the alarm clock…..before she stopped. Lilian eyes widen before they were basically tiny dots as she slowly let her hand fall as she just stared off.

"While I am one for mischief, one must also get their beauty sleep." A voice stated as a shadowy hand gripped Lilian head, before a being with six eyes walked out. Serrator smiled down at the little girl, a small chuckle escaping his throat at the girls mischievous behavior.

"Now run along little one, for this sleep will be one of the last few you ever get." Serrator shooed the mind controlled girl away before turning to Cornelia.

"I am afraid, Earth Guardian, that you and your friends will be to late. The Blood of Sparda cannot stop the Blood Moon." Serrator stated as he ran two talon like fingers across Cornelia's hair, slicing off a lock of hair off. "Now enjoy your slumber." With that Serrator quietly escaped into the shadows, like nothing ever happened.

"...But it never hurts to have fun." Serrator hand reached out from the shadows and pressed the tune button, making it an hour later. Serrator chuckled as he once again disappeared, leaving Cornelia to her misfortune tomorrow.

(Morning)

"OUT OF MY WAY YOU SAVAGES!" Drake screamed as he pushed the students aside and away from that paper on the wall. He was so close to being late after staying up last night practicing with Rebellion, that he nearly got one of the worst. Luckily he made it in time and got the same job as Will and Hay Lin, painting over graffiti. Once he made it through he walked over to Irma and Taranee. "What did you two, get?"

"Sealing envelopes at City Hall." Taranee said, Irma giving her a high five as both had the same job.

"Nice, I'm with Will and Hay Lin painting over Graffiti. Martin got dumpster scrubber." Drake said gesturing to said boy. At that moment Elyon joined them to explain her job which was luckily not bad, however she notice someone was missing.

"Has anyone seen Cornelia?" At that very moment in the Hale residence, Mrs. Hale was currently cooking pancakes for Cornelia humming to herself, while Lillian ate hers.

"KKKKKYYYYYAAAAAAA!" Mrs. Hale turned to see her oldest daughter bolt across the hall trying to put clothes on. Lilian smiled at her sister in distress and her revenge going a long quite smoothly, however for some reason she can't remember what happened after she went in her sister room. It felt like it was all a blur, and the next moment she was in her bed.

"Mom, can I have Cornelia pancakes? I don't think she'll have time to eat them." Lilian said as Cornelia skated across the ground and glared at her sister, already knowing it was that little goblin that sabotaged her.

"If I were you, I would get into the Federal Sister Protection Program." Cornelia hissed pointing at her sister, but that was the hand holding her pants as said pants slipped to her ankles. Cornelia pulled them back up and dashed towards the door.

"Jeez, I wonder what's left on the Community Service Day List." Lilian said taking a piece of pancake for herself, knowing full well that Cornelia day was going to be terrible, and she couldn't be anymore happier.

(Later that Day)

Drake had to admit out of the whole group, Cornelia got the worst of them. She had the job of helping with the Fourth graders, while Irma and Taranee folded envelopes. Right now he, Will, and Hay Lin were painting over the graffiti wearing suspenders and covered with some paint on them that luckily is washable. As they continued to paint both Drake and Hay Lin notice Will frown she had since the moment they got here.

"Someone is in a grumpy mood." Drake joked bumping Will arm.

"You would be too if your Mom was making goo goo eyes at your history teacher." Will said with disdain in her tone. Last night the new History teacher Mr. Collins came by to her apartment to give her Mother some papers for Community Service day. However as he did Will couldn't help but notice how the two stared at each other, gazing into the other eyes...for a literally full minute.

"Yeah? Go Will's Mom!" Hay Lin cheered.

"All aboard the love train! Whoo Whoo!" Drake and Hay Lin started chanting a train noise making Will groan in torment, before she started painting harder almost snapping her handle thanks to the Guardian strength. This was not fun for her, not fun indeed. Sure she wanted her Mom to be happy but didn't this guy just arrived in town? It was a little to quick for her Mom to fall in love that fast, it should take time. Sure she wasn't a love expert but after being forced to watch Love Movies on Netflix with Trish and her Mom she came to some understanding. It should take time to know each other and understand each other, like her and Drake...wait what?

"I heard teenagers come here to make out, do you think Collins will take your Mom here." Hay Lin asked, making kissing faces while Drake chuckled and Will continued to groan.

"I don't think this place is really that clean." Drake said gesturing to this dump of a place: Boarded windows, dark train tunnel that looked like it was the Gates of Hell, and a lot of garbage. "Now the park is the best place where he can have his way wit-!"

"My life is ruined." Will cried out as she placed her head on the wall, both Drake and Hay Lin looked at Will before laughing. They didn't mean the things they said, but they just wanted to lift Will's spirit. Once the laughing stopped they all went back to cleaning, with Drake wondering how to change the subject...before an idea came to mind.

"You know Cedric is gonna find a way into Heatherfield again." Drake started, making the girls shiver at the mention of the monster.

"Don't need to remind me." Hay Lin said. "What about it?"

"We never really trained together, have we?" Drake asked. Will was about to correct him but then realized and stopped herself, they never did train together. Sure they trained when they first got there powers and the next day however that was really just it. They didn't even train with Drake after they discovered he is the Grandson of a Legendary Warrior that saved all of creation.

"No, now that I think about it we never really trained a lot since I got captured." Will said putting her brush down.

"What about you, Drake? Don't you train with your Mom?" Hay Lin asked as Drake set his paint down and crossed his arms.

"Yeah but she can only teach so much, and that isn't a lot. I don't have Lightning like she does and she so far she only taught me how to summon and fight with my weapons. However she is teaching me a combo fighting like style." Drake explained. His Mother while powerful could only carry so many techniques and power, it was his Father who was the real powerhouse. She explained how he was always so quick in switching his weapons that it was in her words: Smokin' Sick Style! He couldn't stop himself from taking a few steps back on how anime his Mom looked at the title.

"Combo?" Will asked confused on the term he used.

"Mom explained that my Dad had powerful weapons that could make every army on Earth crap their pants." Drake explained making Will and Hay Lin pale at the ideas of such weapons. Yet they realized those could be very useful against Phobos and Cedric. "He used a lot of those weapons in multiple and powerful combo attacks that could obliterate demons in microseconds. I'm thinking with Rebellion and my guns I could use combos and hell, with your guys elements we can combine them and make powerful attacks." Drake suggested. The two couldn't deny that this was a great idea, which they should start doing soon.

"How about after Community Service we get the gang together and start practicing." Hay Lin suggested.

"I'm game." Drake said, Will made no room for arguments as she also agreed. The group started to repaint over the art before Hay Lin notice something on the wall, like it was not there before she checked. On the wall were four engravings that formed symbols she has never seen before, all in green color.

"Hey guys, what kind of writing is this?" The two looked over at Hay Lin and notice the markings, standing behind Hay Lin as they studied it. "Is it demon language, Drake?"

"How should I know? I'm half demon, I don't speak it. Maybe Mandarin?" Drake suggested as he rubbed his chin. As the Air Guardian and Sparda came up with suggestions for what they were, Will stared at markings with shocked eyes. She didn't know why but she could have sworn she was hearing a hum, like a bell ringing continuously before she notice the markings started to glow. Before she could tell the others she felt her head spin in agony as the markings took on four colors: Green, Blue, White, and Red. The Leader of the Guardians clutched her head in pain and groaned from the pain, Drake and Hay Lin saw their friend in pain as she backed into them. Drake caught her in his arms, Will clutching her skull as she clenched her teeth hard and tried to ignore the pain.

"Will?" Drake asked concerned with his best friends state before Will gasped, and finally her body went limp and her head rested on Drake's shoulder. "Will?!"

"The markings did something to her." Hay Lin said worried for her friends safety.

"Let's take her back to your Grandma, show her these markings too." Drake said as he picked Will up bridal style and held her head to his shoulder. Hay Lin nodded before turning to the markings and using one of the paint brushes to write them down. Once she was done both bolted towards the Silver Dragon, unaware of the eyes watching them.

"Interesting." A female said from on her motorcycle as she watched the two teen leave the old station. She only knew one thing from seeing the white haired boy: He knew where she was.

(Later, Silver Dragon)

"Then we saw this weird writing," Hay Lin said to her Grandma as they stared down at Will.

"Still thinks it is Mandarin." Drake commented as he sat on the edge of the bed looking down at Will. They were currently in the basement with Yan Lin and Caleb inspecting Will and seeing if she was alright.

"And WHAM! Went down like a sack of potatoes." Hay Lin explained as Will eyes fluttered open, the red head groaning as Drake held her shoulder.

"What did this writing look like?" Yan Lin looking at her granddaughter.

"Oh I wrote it down." Hay Lin lifted her arm showing the markings. Yan Lin grabbed Hay Lin's arm and studied the markings humming to herself. They were not that of Demon, but they certainly aren't from Earth.

"These letters, are not from this world."

"Well there goes the Mandarin theory." Drake said mentally checking it off from his list, while Will leaned forward feeling the pain before disperse. Caleb stared at the symbols, and felt like he had seen them from somewhere. Then he realized he did recognize it, they were on the castle walls whenever they snuck into Phobos castle. He never understood the language because it was to old from the ancient times of the Meridians.

"I've seen these writings at Phobos castle but I can't read it." Caleb said. After that the group heard the door open and saw both Irma and Taranee walk down the stairs.

"Where isth heth? Ish she alrigthg?" Irma asked, her tongue along with Taranee's were swollen from two hours of licking about five hundred or so envelopes.

"...What?" Drake asked confused.

"I'm fine, what's wrong with your voice?" Will asked wondering why they sounded strange.

"We've beeth licking enthelopes." Taranee said through her swollen tongue.

"Aren't yo suppose to be using sponges for those?" Hay Lin asked, making both girls eyes widen and smacking their heads, seeing this was the second time someone showed their mistake and not using the sponge. The first being Mr. Collins.

"I know who might be able to translate this, but we have to visit the Infinite City." Caleb explained.

"The what?" Drake asked.

(Later.)

After calling Cornelia and picking her up the group arrived back at the station to see the markings. However as soon as they arrived they were all greeted with the sign: As in there was no sign of those markings on the wall.

"They were right here." Hay Lin said pointing at the wall. While Will and Irma studied the map of Heatherfield, Drake and Taranee notice Cornelia trying to rub the paint off her cheeks.

"What's that on your cheek?" Taranee asked.

"The Big Dipper, don't ask." Cornelia asked as she tried to desperately rub the smudge off. However she was surprised to feel a wet thumb right cheek where the black Moon was. Looking over she saw Drake rubbing the smudge away with his thumb, the boy smiling at the Earth Guardian.

"Usually a wet rag can wipe these away but I don't really have one, sorry." Drake apologized as he wiped her cheek clean. Cornelia blushed, sure she was a little peeved that he did that but after today with her monster of a little sister this was a nice step into a good direction.

"T-Thanks." Cornelia stuttered as she wiped away the Big Dipper.

"The portal must be close by." Will said laying the map on the ground as everyone gathered around her. Pulling out the Heart she hung above the map, an X appearing on a large rectangle. "There! What is that?" The group looked around before they notice that the train tunnel looked to be a lot brighter then usual, like something inside was emitting a light source.

"The Gateway to Hell." Drake joked as they started walking towards the tunnel. Rebellion and his pistols emerged from his back and holsters, the Sparda pulling out Rebellion encase Cedric was around.

"Guardians Unite!" Will chanted as the Heart glowed with powerful aura. The five girls took on their transformations as Drake watched in awe, no matter how many times he watches them transform it still takes his breath away.

"Don't mind me just enjoying the beautiful creatures in front of me." Drake said grinning at the girls, making some of them chuckle while Will playfully punched his arm.

"Charmer."

"I get it from my Dad. I would be shocked if he had bad luck with women." Drake said. Taranee formed a ball of flame for a light as the team trekked further and further into the tunnel. At that time they could hear some sort of noise echo inside the tunnel, and nearby was a bright light.

"There!" Will pointed towards the portal, the blue spiraling of energy illuminated the tunnel.

"Be on the lookout for tall, scaly, and ugly." Drake said as they walked towards the portal. Irma decided to be brave and walked towards the portal, putting her hand inside it. She instantly felt the full tingle across her entire body, her hair sticking up and feeling quite energized.

"WOAH! Do you know what David Copperfield would pay for this?" Drake decided to follow suit but instead of the portal itself he grabbed hold of the side.

"W-WOAH! I-tt's got a nice v-vibration t-to it!" Drake said as he felt his entire body vibrate, his voice echoing from the energy.

"I wouldn't touch that." Caleb warned but it fell on deaf ears as Drake did what he did best: Anything he wanted too.

"D-DO YOU BELIEVE IN L-LIFE A-AFTER LOVE?!" Drake sanged as his voice echoed, singing Belive by Cher.

"Drake that is completely inappropriate in a time like this." Taranee said crossing her arms.

"DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER LOVE!"

"Irma get him away from the portal." Will asked smacking her forehead, before she heard Irma clear her throat.

"I CAN FEEL SOMETHING INSIDE ME SAY!" The others turned to see Irma holding onto the other side of the portal.

"I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU'RE STRONG ENOUGH~~~!" Both the Water Guardian and Sparda sang in sync making the others smack their heads.

"Oh man I can really feel it in my arms." Drake said gesturing to his hands.

"Yeah, usually you have to pay for something like this." Irma said.

"Oh man." Drake moaned feeling how relaxed his arms.

"Cornelia you should sit on this, relax you a bit." Cornelia rolled her eyes ignoring Irma while Will studied the portal. She notice the energy started to spiral uncontrollably, before something from the other side take shape.

"Something's coming through." Will warned pointing at it. Both Drake and Irma jumped back as the group prepared for whatever was coming through, summoning their elements.

"Water."

"Fire."

"Air."

"Earth."

"...SWORDS!" Drake yelled holding Rebellion out while Will summoned her lightning. They waited for whatever, or whoever, was coming out of the portal.

"GAH!" The group had sweat drop appear above their heads at the sight before them: Blunk. The little troll rolled across the dirt until he slammed into Drake's leg, the troll smiling at seeing his friends again with a bag in hand.

"Dragon Nostrils? Trade for girly wings? Good deal, yes?" Blunk asked holding up the bag as the Guardians landed back on the ground and Drake put Rebellion away.

"Dragon Nostrils?" The Earth Guardian asked with a raised eyebrow. Blunk happily opened the bag, from it came a large puff of black smoke that filled the area they were in.

"Make good hat...once stop smoking." Blunk said as the others cringed in disgust.

"Man it smells like Drake's laundry." Will muttered.

"Okay that's uncalled for." Drake yelled as he fan his face of the smoke.

"Blunk, I thought you with Yan Lin?" Taranee asked as Blunk closed the bag.

"Blunk found portal, Blunk go in and find home." Blunk explained as the others looked at the portal.

"Well...let's head in." Drake said walking towards the portal as everyone followed, leaving Blunk alone.

(Meridian)

"Guess I don't need this anymore." Hay Lin said tossing the pipe she was gonna use as a weapon into the portal. The pipe surprisingly flew into the portal and hit Blunk in the back of the head, sending him flying.

"Why did you have it in the first place?" Drake asked, Hay Lin responded by shrugging. The group found themselves in the alleyways of the village near Phobos castle, the large fortress looming above them.

"This way." Caleb whispered walking further away from the castle as the others followed the Rebellion leader. As they continued the Guardians and Sparda notice that the landscape changed from a village what looked to be a junkyard as what seemed to be all of Meridians garbage laid in one spot.

"I think we found Blunk vacation home." Irma said thanking whatever Deity gave Guardians wings so they didn't touch the ground. They saw Caleb stop what appeared to be a large wooden barrel.

"In here."

"Uh...where?" Taranee asked from behind Drake. Caleb simply kicked the side, one of the sides opened revealing a hidden passageway surprising the group. The group followed the steps into the passageway until they walked into what seemed an endless room with hundreds of emerald pillars that went on for eternity. Caleb started sprinting making the Guardians fly after him and Drake to run beside him, even though he was way faster he had no idea where to go.

"Nobody knows who built the Infinite City,"

"More like Infinite Room." Drake yelled, his voice echoing across the infinite room.

"In two hundred years, no one found an end to it in any direction. However there is one thing about it." After sometime of running Caleb stopped and leaned on the wall. Like a rich ass mansion a secret door opened from the emerald ground, revealing even more stairs.

"Ugh, more stairs?" Cornelia moaned in annoyance, her feet already sore from the last stairs and from chasing her sister and the kids back at the school. "Don't you guys have like...a stone escalator?"

"Ugh, girls." Caleb groaned walking down the stairs.

"Ugh. Sexist." Drake muttered in Taranee ear, making her nod in agreement. As they descended down the stairs they heard the echoing noise of splashing water from below. That is when they made it to the bottom were they greeted by the sight of a waterfall, constantly pouring majestic clear aqua.

"Once they made it to the platform in front of the fall, Caleb shushed the group. Drake was about to ask why until they notice a silhouette within the waterfall, floating closer towards them. Caleb went to his knees bowing to the mysterious being while the others simply stared at the being as it slowly appeared out of the water, taking the form of a woman in brown robes.

"Ancient One. We need your help decoding a message." Caleb said as the woman let out a slow hiss.

"I swear if she goes Temple of Doom Rebellion's out." Drake muttered.

"Are you the Guardians of the Veil?" The Ancient One asked, Will cleared her throat before stepping forward.

"Yes Sir...Wait, I mean Ma'am." Will corrected herself at the last sentence.

"...And the message?" The Being asked ignoring the mistake. Hay Lin walked forward and showed her the letters on her arm, the Ancient One hummed to herself seeing the writing.

"Ah, the writing of the Beast." The Ancient One stated gaining the others attention.

"The Beast?" Irma asked.

"The Beast people of Meridian, but of the Ancient Tongue very few know." The Ancient One explained.

"What does it mean, though?" Drake asked. The Ancient One responded by placing her hand forward, the symbols glowed orange before Hay Lin notice more markings on her other arm. Lifting it up she saw it was in English, she started reading the text.

"She is still undetected, begin your search for the Princess." Hay Lin read the script making the others eyes widen at the mention of the Princess. So she must have been in Heatherfield among the masses, the question is who? And who sent this? Who else besides Cedric will hunt her?

"A Beast is in your town, Guardians." The Ancient One stated as she leaned forward taking her hood off and staring at Hay Lin. "It will try to get close to you, Guardians." The others looked at each other in deep thought, wondering who has been trying to get close to them. To Drake the only ones that came close was Elyon and Alchemy, though they were born in Heatherfield and neither seemed to be magical of any sort. All of them couldn't think of a single person...except one. Will eyes widen in shock and realization of the one person who has been trying to get close to her, specifically her mother.

Mr. Collins.

It had to be the new history teacher, who else could it be? Ms. Rudolph? No. It was Collins since he was trying to get close to her Mom, even calling her by her first name. Who calls people you just met for what, three hours? By their first name? Very suspicious but to make sure she had a lead she needed to know how she could reveal he was the Beast.

"How could you tell them from humans?" Will asked.

"Touch a Beast with the Heart of Kandracar, and it shows its true form." The Ancient One explained.

"Alright, guys I think I got a lead, lets head back to Earth." Will said walking past the others before they followed with Drake in last.

"Wielder of the Blade." Drake and the others stopped in their tracks at the title, the Sparda looking back at the Ancient One. "Come here." Drake looked at the others with a confused stare. However seeing how it couldn't be any harm, the Sparda shrugged and walked back to the platform standing in front of the Ancient One. The Ancient One studied Drake's features, rubbing her chin before reforming her posture like she was a statue.

"I have lived for centuries, seen the rise of Phobos parents and Coup of the Cursed Prince. I cannot completely see future outcomes but fate has shown my yours." Drake eyes widen, wondering what she meant. "I have not seen the full outcome but cause. Remember this riddle Sword Wielder: 'Do not trust the Trickster that serves the Tyrant Prince, who shares blood as you do. For he will call upon the Umbran Night and kill the Rose you love most, unleashing the Beast within. He will call upon the Crimson Luna and raise the Tower that will end all'." The Ancient One stated making Drake eyes widen at the riddle, what did any of this mean? His Rose? The Trickster? Umbran Night?

"Sheesh is that all?" Drake asked holding his hands out.

"No...clean out your laundry tonight or there will be grave consequences." Irma had to cover her mouth from exploding into a fit of laughter while the others giggled uncontrollably while Drake eye twitched in anger.

"...OKAY. I get it, this is a wake up call." Drake growled as he walked away grumbling to himself walking past the others who kept on giggling and chortling. However deep in his heart his mind wandered to the riddle, and what it meant in the future of their mission.

(Earth)

"Your serious? Professor Collins?" Irma asked watching as Will walked back and forth. The group was currently sitting in a diner after leaving Meridian to talk about the ordeal with the Ancient One. After they reverted back to their normal states Will instantly told them who she believed was the beast, and that would be Mr. Collins, their newest teacher at Shellfield. Though Drake mind was still on the riddle he was a bit skeptical about Mr. Collins as he sat on the inside with Hay Lin and Taranee on his side, while Irma and Cornelia were on the other side.

"He's like to boring to be evil." Cornelia said nonchalantly about the whole thing.

"Who is this 'Mr. Collins'?" Caleb asked leaning over the one of the seats. Thankfully there was no one in the diner aside from them and the cooks and waiters, whether it was because they were closing soon or because it was just one of those slow days.

"One of our newest teachers at our school, Will's and Drake's specifically." Taranee explained.

"We know Phobos is looking for his sister who is around our age in this town. Like say if it is me?" Will asked gaining confused glances from the other girls. "Say I am one of Phobos scouts, how do I get close to Earth girls?"

"Disguise yourself as Channing Tatum?" Irma asked.

"No...Okay maybe."

"WHAT?!"

"Become a box of donuts?" Hay Lin suggested, though maybe it was more because she really wanted some donuts.

"Better." The Sparda grumbled.

"I get a job as a teacher." Will stated making the others realize that she was right, well most of them.

"Oh why, and then check on my possible targets one at a time." Taranee added to Will's case.

"But...if he is from Meridian-?" Caleb would have asked but was cut off by Will.

"Okay, my Mom is attractive-!"

"No argument there."

"-in a funky old person kind of way...Wait, what Drake?"

"Nothing." Drake instantly zipped his mouth close.

"...Anyways, unless he is an evil beast why else would Collins talk to her?" Will asked, once again the girls agreed seeing there wasn't many reasons for this, however one disagreed.

"How does he know enough Earth history to teach it?" Caleb asked seeing how this beast could be good enough to teach in such a short amount of time. Then again maybe Phobos has some sort of knowledge on Earth history...naw.

"And it would explain why he made Community Service Day." Cornelia said.

"To separate us and watch us one at a time." Irma said pointing at her eye to illustrate her point.

"We should follow him!" Hay Lin stated, which made all the Guardians to cheer in agreement.

"Girls, please." Caleb rubbed his forehead in irritation. "Let me suggest another pla-!"

"Their gone." Drake said by the door as the girls already left the the diner and away from them. Drake instantly left to follow the girls with Caleb growling in annoyance.

"Girls."

"Shut up."

For the rest of the day the group followed Mr. Collins across all of town, the one who mainly followed was Hay Lin wearing a brown fedora and pink glasses. Collins went to two places in particular: A Dollar tree ti get glue and a Pet Store for two pounds of live crickets. Cornelia thought the glue was to stick his human skin on while Taranee thought the crickets was his food. Caleb was full on disagreement with this whole thing, thinking that perhaps he simply had a pet lizard. Of course the girls agreed that they shouldn't judge before all the evidence was in...until they all agreed he was, and how Drake heard it from Will: A face gluing bug eating brain sucker.

"I don't even know where to begin." Drake thought.

"Why am I even here?" Caleb groaned while all the girls agreed to track Collins back to his house.

"I ask that question everyday." Drake said following the girls. Nighttime came as they tracked Collins back to his house, the teacher exited his yellow car while the others hid behind a bush watching the teacher.

"We don't even know if this guy is working for Phobos." Caleb said trying his last attempt to convince them that they are most likely wrong.

"What do you need to see? His Monster ID card?" Irma asked sarcastically, before they were shushed by Will. Drake on the other hand was sitting behind them leaning on another bush thinking about the riddle of the Ancient One. Someone he loved most, his Rose supposedly, was to be killed by this Umbran Night because of the Trickster. He wondered who this Trickster was and why they wanted to cause harm to...unless.

"The Trickster is a demon." Drake thought to himself, it makes so much more sense. A demon must be working with the Tyrant Prince, do doubt Phobos, and will cause the Roses death. Though what was his rose? What could possibly...Ah. Drake looked out of the corner of his eyes to see Will in her Guardian form, though she wasn't looking he could see the frown on her face. Even with a frown, even without her Guardian form he saw her as the most beautiful thing ever. He could never deny since they were kids Drake cared deeply for Will, at first it was that she was the first friend he had ever had and didn't want to let go but now it became so much more.

Love.

He loved her, she was his Froggy, his best friend...his rose. Sadly he was to scared to admit his feelings for her, seeing that she might just consider him as just a friend. He hated it and it made it seem like he was a coward for not admitting his feelings to her, especially now at the worst possible time with all this Demon and Guardian stuff. Though this now brought up the question: Who will kill Will? An Umbran Night that will cause the release of a Beast? What was the Beast?

"Am I the Beast?" Drake thought, thinking it might be the only option. After all he was half demon and they were in a sense beast of nature. He remembered back at the City Hall how Cedric mocked him and threatened to eat Will, making him angry and unleash some hidden power. Perhaps this was the Beast inside Drake...now it kind of scared him. In due time he would have to deal with this Umbran Night and perhaps he can find a way to save Will. Now the final part: The Crimson Luna and the Tower. The Crimson Luna sounded like the Moon, subconsciously looking at the Moon the Sparda wondered why the Moon would turn red. And what was the Tower? Was it a gateway? Was it a portal in He-

Temen-Ni-Gru.

The demonic tower that connected Earth to Hell. It all made sense now: The Trickster will use this Crimson Moon or whatever and raise the the Tower of Temen-Ni-Gru and bring forth the demons of Hell onto the Earth. But why help Phobos? Perhaps they were pawns for the Trickster, now it all made so much sense for Drake. He must find this Trickster soon before it was to late and maybe he can kill the demon before it is to late.

"NOT SO FAST BRAINSUCKER!" By the time Drake was finished analyzing the riddle the girls were already facing Collins. The teacher jaw dropped seeing the five fairy girls holding balls of water and fire and air at him with smirks.

"Didn't expect that, now did ya buddy?" Irma said blasting Collins with a torrent of water into the grass.

"Have a seat." Cornelia said making the ground shake in wave like motions and sending Collins flying. Hay Lin caught the teacher with the air, before creating a miniature tornado and spinning the teacher into the sky. He would have crashed to the dirt but Taranee caught his foot, but instead of setting him down she started spinning around. Collins screamed in fear as Taranee spun him around before letting him go and sending him crashing into the dirt. He rolled to a stop at the stairs as he groaned in pain, clearly unconscious from the attack as the others flew down to the ground.

"Let's see what you look like with green skin and a tail!" Will exclaimed holding the Heart out in front of Collins. Thought he only thing they got from the Heart is that it shocked Collins with it's energy, otherwise his form did not change.

"Congratulations guys, you discovered his real identity: A middle aged white man." Drake said chortling and holding his side as he let out a fit of laughter. Hay Lin knelt down and tried to pry off Collins skin but was coming off, like it was actual skin.

"This is really glued on tight." Hay Lin growled as she held Collins in an arm lock.

"Almost like it's real skin...Oh wait." Drake said sarcastically. Meanwhile Taranee picked up a red folder on the steps, opening up she saw the contents.

"What is it? Being evil for dummies?" Cornelia asked.

"No. It's information on the Shellfield PTA." Taranee answered.

"Phobos joined a PTA?" Cornelia asked in shock, while Will moaned in realization.

"No...but my Mom did." Will said. They all heard chuckling and turned around to Caleb, the Rebellion leader had a smug look on his face with his arms out.

"I think the phrase your all looking for is: You we-!"

WHAM!

"An asshole." The girls watched in shock as Drake kicked Caleb with his powerful strength and sent the Rebellion leader flying into a bush, groaning in pain. "Mom was right, holding back sucks." With his new found strength he was taught to hold back so not to kill anyone at full strength, because a demon strength no matter the type was beyond a mortal unless they were the Guardians. Drake put his foot down and turned to the Guardians, smirking at the girls as they blushed in embarrassment. Payback from laughing at him for his laundry. "What he means to say: Ya beat an old man." With that Drake walked over to Collins and picked up the teacher, hoisting him over his shoulder. "Lets take him home."

"Well you know what? It serves him right." Cornelia said as they started walking towards the direction of wherever he lived. "This is what he gets for making us do Community Service Day early."

"Are you seriously trying to justify how you abused an elderly?" Drake asked making the girl blush even more in embarrassment. "I mean I sure he isn't going to remember that strong women kicked his ass."

"...You think we're strong women?" Irma teased with a smirk, making Drake look over his shoulder seeing all the girls have a smirk on their faces at the compliment.

"...No comment. Let's just get him home so he can sleep it off." Drake said shifting his shoulder so it was more comfortable for the teacher and his shoulder.

"I tried to warn them." Caleb said rubbing his arm as he walked beside the group. "But hey, girls. It's like talking to firewood."

"Yet you really didn't try to stop them." Drake retorted glaring at Caleb.

"Neither did you? You clearly knew he wasn't a monster." Caleb shot back though he might regret it since Rebellion was out.

"I never once said I didn't think he was a monster, since we got back my mind has been trying to figure out the goddamn riddle the hag gave me." Drake said making the girls look at each other in confusion and then back at Drake. They just remembered that he was giving a pretty creepy riddle from the Ancient One.

"Oh yeah, that was really freaky." Taranee said.

"Yeah, and I think I figured out parts of the riddle. At least most but a few." Drake started as he looked over his shoulder. "The Tyrant Prince is obviously Phobos, but the Trickster that shares the same blood as mine...I think it's a demon." The girls eyes widen at the word, a demon working for Phobos? Why?

"That must be why Trish couldn't find you back at Phobos castle, she said some sort of demonic presence was there." Irma said remembering how the Demon Mother stated a demon must have been near.

"Or how we ended up in Limbo, that demon must ave brought us there to trap us." Will added as Drake nodded.

"But why work with Phobos?" Caleb asked.

"Most likely because of me." Drake answered. "I am the Grandson of Sparda, it might know that I am working with the Guardians and is probably using Phobos as a pawn." Drake knew this must have been the only answer, why else would a demon work with the stuck up Prince?

"What about the other part of the riddle? The Umbran Night will kill the Rose, what is the Umbran Night?" Hay Lin asked, though Drake answer came to a sigh.

"Sadly I haven't figured that out...or the Rose." Drake said trying to avoid the push on that single riddle. It was bad enough if Will figured it out, but the others it would be downright embarrassing. Sure he liked all of them and they were all very beautiful but they didn't need to figure out this secret...not yet at least.

"The Rose sounds like someone very close to you." Cornelia said tapping her chin in deep thought.

"Uh, yeah, maybe it's my Mom." Drake said sweating nervously hoping Will won't figure it out. Thankfully she nodded her head in agreement on the answer he gave.

"Yeah, she is your Mom and she is the only family you have." Will said seeing how Trish could be the rose. "Though that means we now have to protect Trish, and make sure whatever this Umbran Night is doesn't hurt her."

"Protecting her is the hard part, seeing if she actually needs it is the easy part." Taranee said before she realized the other part. "What about the last part of the riddle. The Crimson Luna and the Tower?"

"I don't know what the Crimson Luna is...but I think the Tower is Temen-Ni-Gru." Drake stated making the girls gasp.

"Temen-Ni-Gru? You mean that scary tower your Mom talked about that connected the Human World the the Demon World?" Hay Lin asked holding her arms and shuttering in fear.

"What other tower would it be? The one to Asgard?" Irma asked sarcastically.

"I think my Mom can piece these riddles together when I get home." Drake said as he reached into Mr. Collins pocket and pulled out his wallet, opening up he saw the address on it. "We're pretty close to his apartment." In just a couple more minutes the group finally made it to Collins apartment, with the girls reverting back to their original state. Caleb stayed downstairs seeing how it was pointless to come this far and he wanted to be away from the group for a while, which was fine by Drake. Now it was home free as they entered the elevator, home free inde-!

"Is that you Mr. Collins?"

...Crap.

"Uh..." Drake droned on as the elderly women stood in the elevator, clearly a resident of the apartment building. All the girls looked at each other nervously seeing they might have been caught as the unconscious old man was groaning in Drake's arm. "...No."

"Are you sure? That looks like Mr. Collins, though I do need new glasses." The elder said fixing her glasses. Seeing she was basically blind Drake quickly thought of some excuse so she couldn't see if it was Collins.

"Uh no this is no Mr. Collins this is uh...Um...My...Crickets." The five girls slowly turned to the Sparda, their eyes twitching while giving him a 'WTF' look. Though it seemed the excuse look as the old women nodded her head in understanding.

"Oh I see your here to bring Collins his pet lizard food."

"...Pet Lizard?" Irma asked only to be shushed by Will.

"Yeah totally." Drake said as the elevator stopped on the specific level. "What room is he in exactly?"

"Third floor, two rooms down the right." The woman explained, coincidentally they were at the level as the girls and Drake quickly exited. "Please tell Collins I can't wait to see his dance he has made."

"Yeah, okay!" Drake said as they took Collin keys and quickly unlocked his door walking into his home. Drake gently set the unconscious man on his chair before walking over to a large glass cage, kneeling down to the small cute lizards level inside.

"Hi, Mr. Scales." Drake cooed as he dumped the crickets inside for the lizard, the animal taking an instant liking to the boy.

"If one word is mentioned about the lizard to Caleb, we kick them out." Irma warned.

"Word." Drake said as he reached in and picked up the lizard. It instantly lifted its head as the Sparda started petting its little beard, enjoying the comfort of this newly acquired friend.

"Okay we lock the door, fly out the window-!"

"Leave Caleb."

"-Have his car towed, and tomorrow we put the papers inside his desk. He'll think he dreamed it." Will planned out seeing it was a fool proof plan.

"Uh, what about his clothes?" Taranee asked pointing to the soaked, dirty, and charred clothes he was wearing.

"I think our friend here can help us out." Drake said scratching the lizard, who was now on his shoulder, chin as it opened its mouth in enjoyment.

"Ha, thats crazy...DO IT!" Drake did not need anymore convincing from Will as he poured out the rest of the bag and put Scales on Collins chest who started chasing the crickets.

"Man...we really messed up." Hay Lin said as the other girls agreed, putting their heads down in shame and staring at the floor. They not only messed up on trying to find out who the Beast was, but they still aren't close to figuring it out. Will felt the worse as she realized why she truly suspected it was Collins, not for great reasons either: Her Mother. She hated her father for what he was and what he did to her Mother and the divorce was the greatest thing her Mom has done for that man, however it was still lingering on how men like her father have treated her Mother. She just wanted to keep her Mom safe even if it was from Collins, but now it all came crashing down.

"...So?" The five girls turned to see Drake leaning on the wall staring at the girls. "So you messed up, big whoop. It's not like we were given specific details on what the Beast should be other then 'It will try to get close to you' from the old hag who of course has to give riddles that are so helpful." Drake said as the girls looked at each other seeing Drake's reasoning was pretty true. The Ancient One barely gave them to go on this Beast, though they bet she had no idea who it was so it would make sense. "So it wasn't Collins, that's just one guy to scratch off the list." The girls saw Drake's point and realized he was right, it just meant that need to keep an eye out. "Now get rid of those frowns, they don't look good on those beautiful faces."

"Such a charmer." Will giggled as she walked up and hugged her best friend, the white haired teen blushed before hugging her back. Once they departed the two turned to the rest of the girls, Will crossing her arms. "Now lets head home and get a good nights res-!"

"SPARDA!" Drake and the girls eyes widen at the deafening roar of a demonic tone. Drake instantly pulled out Ebony and Ivory and scanned the area for any hostiles but saw none as he pushed Will back with the others. It wasn't until he landed on the mirror on the wall did he notice a figure take shape, taking the form of a goat like skull wrapped in shadowy cloak and in its hand was a scythe. Drake jumped back at the last second as the scythe slashed through the mirror and stabbed through the ground. Drake and the girls watched as three of the creatures phased through the glass and floated on the opposite side of the room. The three horned demons glared at Drake with the scythes glistening from any reflection in the room.

"Sparda." One of them growled, while Drake holstered his guns and pulled out Rebellion encase Collins woke up and died of a heart attack seeing demons. The creatures floated slowly to them, before a long tongue hit one in the cheek. It was unphased by the attack but every waking being in the room turned to see the lizard standing between Drake and the scythe wielding demons as it did something close to a challenge glare.

...

...

...

"...Did that lizard just slap a demon?" Irma asked. Though no one answered as the demon raised its scythe above its head, swinging it down on the lizard. Though all it hit was the floor as Drake rolled in and caught the Lizard at the last second and rolled behind the demons.

"Let the ones with swords handle the demons." Drake said setting the lizard down before ducking under a scythe before turning back to the girls. "Head downstairs, I'm gonna lure them out into the open!" The girls tired to argue but Drake already bolted into the bedroom, the demons behind him. Drake swung the window open and dodged another swing. He jumped out the window onto the other apartments wall as the demons phased through the wall and started chasing after him. Drake laughed as he walled jumped up the building until he made it to the roof, swinging Rebellion to counter a scythe that would have stabbed through his chest. The block staggered the demon as Drake spun his body around and swung Rebellion again, taking off the demons head. The other two made it to the top to watch their comrade reduce to ashes.

"Come on guys, whose next?" Both demons roared in anger as they charged at Drake, swinging at the same time. However at the last second Drake jumped over them both and landed away from them, looking over his shoulder.

"Can't touch this...boys." Drake eyes widen seeing three more of the Scythe demons appear from the ground, one of them picked up the fallen ones scythe and carried both. Drake groaned as he rubbed his nose in frustration, resting Rebellion on his shoulder.

"Me and my big mouth." Drake said as he looked at the demons before dashing towards them beyond the speed of Lightning. The demons met with similar speeds as the entire roof was filled with metal smashing against metal as the demons swung at the best speed they could muster but Drake kept dodging with ease. With the training he has had with his Mother she taught that you must practically be closed off to all attacks and expect everything.

He blocked two oft the scythes grinning as the two demons snarled at him, insulted that they could not handle this brat. Drake pulled out Ebony and blocked two scythe from behind his back, sparks flying as the metal grind against metal. Drake pushed them all back with great force that made them all stagger from the force, giving Drake the chance to strike as he swung his sword and cleaved one in half. He could feel the power of Rebellion surge within him, the blade calling out to slay more demons and regain what it has lost. The demonic blood that stained the steel blade turned to steam as the blood disappeared, like it was being absorbed. At this point he was expecting the Hunter demon to drag him into Limbo, or maybe even a Demon Lord just so it can try to kill him.

BANG!

...What he wasn't expecting was one of the demons to explode from a bullet, the gunshot echoing across the sky. Drake and the remaining demons turned to see someone else on the other roof. Drake was shocked for two things, one: Someone knew that they were up here and could kill the demons with a normal gun. Two: It was an insanely hot chick.

The woman had dark, chin-length hair on both sides of her face and she has a fringe that reaches her eyebrows, with the hair framing her face reaching her collar bone. Her outfit consists of a white jacket with what appears to be a harness underneath with no shirt revealing ample cleavage. She also has white short shorts and red gloves. She has magazine pouches on either side of her hips and knee high boots, and she wore sunglasses. On her back was a very large rocket launcher with a blade at the end, and what looked like a sub machine gun on her side. In her hand was a pistol with a smoking barrel, the woman stoic expression showed she was not to mess with. That of course didn't stop the demons from charging at her in rage, they will kill the Sparda later but this woman must pay in blo-!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Drake stared in shock as the three demon heads exploded in gore with the woman still standing there with a stoic expression. Drake could not deny this extremely hot woman with the gigantic boobs was a beast. So clearing his breath he put Rebellion away Drake walked over to the edge of the roof, waving at the lady on the other side.

"I didn't think other people hunted demons."

"..."

"...Uh, well thanks for the help, Lady."

"..."

"...You got a na-!"

BANG!

"OW!" Drake cried in pain as a bullet pierced his head. Now he learned two more things, the first is that he could survive a bullet to the head, and that the bullets she used had some sort of magical property to them that helped her kill demons. That of course didn't stop it from hurting like a bitch, though he kind of wished he was more prepared otherwise it would have bounced off.

"SHIT! WHY DID YOU FUCKING DO THAT?!" Drake exclaimed in rage while the woman holstered her gun.

"Well you certainly carry his abilities, that's a start." The woman said as she holstered her gun before turning around and walking away. As Drake rubbed his head in pain, the wound instantly healing when he watched her stop and looked over her shoulder. "...I'll see ya later, kid." With that the woman jumped off the building leaving the boy alone. Now he had even more questions, who was that chick? Did she know him? Why did she shoot him? All these questions and he doubted he was gonna get answers right now. For now he should head back with the others and see if they are alright, with that Drake went back to find the girls.

"What a weird night."

(Next Morning)

"And you think this demon is working for Phobos?" Trish asked as she poured some milk into Will's glass. Drake, Will and Irma decided to have breakfast at Trish's place while Cornelia, Taranee, and Hay Lin made Lillian class to partake into Community Service Day (Which was on a Friday, today) and lick over like four thousand envelopes with no sponges. Right now the group told Trish what had happened last night with Collins, the riddle, and the woman who shot him. Trish wasn't happy about the whole woman shooting her son but she was intrigued by the Beast and the riddle.

"More likely it is using him." Drake corrected as he ate his oatmeal.

"Most likely, the problem if a demon is using Phobos it is most likely a Duke or President...or worse." Trish said making the three worried.

"But I thought the Demon Kings couldn't escape Hell?" Irma asked and hoping it was true.

"They can't, but that's why it can possibly be a Duke...a weak one but very manipulative if it can convince Phobos to work with him." Trish stated as she put some dishes away. "We'll have to keep a lookout, when there is one demon more are to follow."

"What about the Umbran Night? And the Crimson Luna?" Drake asked. His mother should know about this Crimson Moon since she herself was a demon and had been in hell before.

"Sadly this Crimson Moon is something I never heard of, but I might know someone who might." Trish said before looking at the kids. "And the Umbran Night, I can't say what it is because I have never heard of it. Perhaps it is a Shadow Demon." Trish said closing her eyes in deep thought, before they burst open in realization. Thankfully none of the kids notice as they ate while Trish regained her posture, before trying to change the subject for now.

"Though I must admit the Rose part is also confusing, after all rose is the color of red and I still can't figure it out." She heard her son choke on his food, smiling from teasing her son. She was not blind to the signs of love, her son loved Will for years but would never admit it. Though she will not push him and let him admit it on his own terms.

"So what do you kids plan to do today?" Trish asked changing the subject again so the girls wouldn't catch on.

"I think we should go train, try those combos I was talking about." Drake suggested, the girls nodding in agreement.

"Good, I'll accompany you but first I'll have to check with something. In the meantime finish up and gather the others to try out your strength, I feel as though the threat of Phobos has become even worse." Once the kids finished eating they gathered their things and headed for the door.

"See ya in a little bit, Mom." Trish pecked her son on the head, followed by Will and Irma.

"Bye Ms. Sparda." The girls waved goodbye as the three left leaving the woman alone. The woman stood in front of the door for a second before taking a deep breath, walking back into the kitchen.

"I figured you would find me." Trish said outloud as she picked up the dishes and placed them in the sink. "I sensed you the minute you arrived in Heatherfield...but I thought you were just finishing something here."

"And not say hello to an old friend?" Trish turned around and glared at the woman sitting at her diner table, the same woman Drake described had shot him.

"After all it has been a very long time, Trish. Did you not miss me?"

"More then you think...Lady."

Did you like my Intro song? It's Bloody Stream by Coda, they play it on the second part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Love that song. I'm gonna be re-uploading the old chapters with the intro so it's more...amazing in a sense. I might update another song after this arc or the next but that is up to you guys.
