scrubs - 2.

pairing: doctor!sebastian stan x biomedical scientist!reader

warnings: angst, mentions of death. if you are not comfortable with these warnings please dni.

< previous chapter

- Where are you going? - Miriam rose her head from the work bench as Y/N took her gloves and googles off, disposing of both in the yellow bin. - Y/N, where are you going? Don’t leave me alone with the trainees.

- I’m going to get dinner. No eating in the lab, remember?

- Urgh, couldn’t you have gone to dinner when Michael was here? You’re leaving me alone with the trainees ... and the ask so many questions. - she whispered the last part, afraid the trainees would hear her and hit her over the head with their very heavy portfolios. - I’m going next.

- Hour break, don’t you dare page me. - she pointed her finger menacingly at Miriam before clocking out and heading out for dinner. If they had told her during her sleepless nights spent revising for her least favourite modules the most exciting time of her shifts would be the bland food served by the hospital cafeteria, she would’ve just become a pharmaceutical researcher. Yet again, you need to start at the bottom if you want to get to the top and Y/N was more than ready to climb that moment.

She pressed the button for the lift, leaning against her own hand as she tried to wake herself up. Turns out studying and staying up all night applying for PhD projects and then coming to work at 7AM is not the way to go for energy. Luckily, the black tea she had drank this morning had managed to keep her awake, however the caffeine was starting to slowly leave her system and she still had a few more hours awaiting her. As she was about to fall asleep while waiting for the lift to make it to the lower floors, she heard her name being called out.

- Y/N? - she looked to her side to see Peter standing next to her. They’ve known each other since freshers and if there was someone who was always wide awake during twenty four hour shifts it was him. He worked currently in the clinical biochemistry laboratory, mostly coming over to visit Y/N whenever they were working on cardiac infection cases together. - I looked at the file you gave me. CRP is actually present but quite low, could be recovery phase from an infection. My guess with abdominal pain would be a UTI.

- You reckon it hit recovery phase by itself?

- Listen, some pharmacy assistant might’ve given him antibiotics. Who knows but I’d get a urine analysis, do some cultures and see how’s it going but from my point of view, it’s in recovery phase.

- You’re a superstar, Peter. - she hugged him just as the lift doors opened. - You’re going up?

- Yeah, it’s dinner time. I think they’re serving meatballs today. Exciting stuff. - the two stepped onto the lift. - Miriam said Dr. Stan came down today. You’re still giving him hell?

- I am not giving him hell. He’s just constantly sending samples either mislabelled or misplaced and he expects me to lecture his nursing staff about it.

- I don’t know, Y/N. Back at university you spent 2 hours arguing an answer with a lecturer, I just think you like arguing. - he chuckled as the doors opened onto the floor where the cafeteria was. - Or maybe you like arguing with Dr. Stan.

Before she could complain about the snide comment, Peter took to having a chat with a nurse he was particular sweet on leaving Y/N with her mouth open ready to argue and a finger pointed at him. She rolled her eyes, collecting herself as she released her hair from the ponytail which held it safely high up so her scalp could rest for a few hours before it had to go back up. Walking into the green lit cafeteria, the room was filled with half asleep medical staff digging through the bland food like mindless zombies. She did not blame them, she too sometimes would switch off her brain during breaks but lately all the free time she had was dedicated to applications after applications, despite the fact she kept getting rejections every single day.

The scientist grabbed a worn out plastic blue tray, getting a batch on weirdly shaped meatballs from the cafeteria lady as well as some odly too yellow noodles. Hey, it is food, her brain told her as she grabbed a diet Pepsi and a slice of apple pie which was the only eatable dessert around.

- Didn’t you owe me dinner?

- You almost made me drop my tray. - she gave the resident doctor a dirty look, gripping tighter onto the tray. - And I’ll be damned if I ever owe you dinner but I do have your blood culture results and we did sort out your weird infection case.

- It is not my infection case.

- Fine, your patient’s infection case. God heavens if any interns knew that you had an infection, that way they wouldn’t fawn over you. - she rolled her eyes at him, setting her tray in the first table she came over. He did the same, placing his tray right in front of hers before sitting in the metal chair with a cocky grin. - Go away, I’ll send over the report to your office.

- Have you not figured it out yet and trying to buy yourself more time? Or are you trying to escape the dinner date you set up with me?

- That might work on your interns but not on me, Stan. Besides, it is an infection.

- But there’s no worrying levels CRP besides, what about the abdominal pain? Surely CRP and white blood cells would be off the roof.

- Okay, since you probably missed Biochemistry in med school I will explain it to you. The CRP levels are high during initial phases and lower down during resolve. Your patient is probably on recovery phase already. Recovery means it is fixing itself. Do you need me to explain CRP to you?

- If you pulled that out with any other doctor, you would’ve gotten told off.

- Other doctors don’t ask me stupid questions. - she pointed her fork at him. - Dr. Mackie never sends the samples in the wrong vials.

- What about the blood cultures?

- Congratulations, Dr. Your patient is not septic. It’s most likely localised but I’d suggest ordering some X-rays if you wanna localise where it actually is. I wash my hands of your troubles. - she shrugged, wrapping her fork in the spaghetti laying on her plate. - Need anything else, Dr. Stan?

- I remember being promised a dinner date.

- You should get your ears checked, the only thing I promised you was data and you’re lucky I also gave you a data ana ... - the scientist was interrupted by her pager beeping loudly against her belt. She grumbled, looking down at her belt with a look that would scare anyone. - Duty calls.

- How convenient it went off now.

- Unlike you, Dr. Stan, I have a team to lead.

- Sounds complicated, Y/N. You sure you don’t need a babysitter?

She turned around as she was about to leave, raising his middle finger at him before rushing down the hall as her pager beeped uncontrollably. So much for not paging her during dinner time. Someone better be dying, she thought to herself as she slide her card into the door slot to get access. What she came in contact with was not what she was expecting from a laboratory of trained professionals. Miriam was holding one of the trainees head forward whose nose was bleeding all over her worktop bench.

- Miriam, what the fuck?

- Don’t look at me. Thomas ... - she squinted at the boy whose head she was holding forward. - Started bleeding when he smelled the knee aspiration.

- Oh no. - Y/N put some gloves on before walking over to the two. - Okay, Miriam call a code orange. I’ll take Thomas upstairs and get him sorted.

- It’s so stinky.

- I know. - Y/N handed them two cotton balls from the jar to her left. - Put them up your nose.

What would be a day in the laboratory if a newbie didn’t either faint or got nose bleeds from samples? Definitely not a day in her laboratory. She looked around the busy hospital grounds, trying to find any free, available nurses but they were all overworked. No wonder why, whenever midnight rolled around, people started coming in left and right from club brawls and the grounds were always a nightmare.

- What you got there, Miss Y/L/N? Is this how you lead your team?

- Fuck off, Stan. I do not have time to listen to your comments, I need to find a nurse.

- What happened, kid? - Sebastian looked to the 19 year old medical laboratory assistant holding cotton against his nose. - Lab that bad? Come on, I’ll fix you up.

- Thanks. - she mumbled, following the two men into one of the free areas. Thomas sat on the table while Sebastian pulled up a chair to sit in, Y/N remaining up on her feet.

- So kid, what happened? Y/N rough you up too much?

- He got a nosebleed from the smell of a knee fluid from an aspiration. - Y/N replied to him, much to Thomas delight who felt more than embarrassed about the situation he was in. - Is this what you’re doing now, Dr. Stan? Minor cases? Did the chief of medicine finally realised you’re unqualified?

- No. - he spoke as he pointed out his light at the trainees nose, to look for any specific damage. - One of my patient’s in critical care but it seems to have stabilised for now at least.

- Oh ... sorry. What happened to them?

- Sepsis. - he turned off the lights. - Listen kid, it’s nothing to bad. Just stay sat here and firmly pinch the soft part of your nose, just above your nostrils, for about 15 minutes. Don’t forget to lean forward and breathe through your mouth. Me or one of the nurses will come check on you after to see if it has improved but so far, so good.

- I’ll return to the lab. Page me when you’re ready to return, okay? - she gave the young starter a kind smile before pulling the curtains and letting him be. Unfortunately for her, Stan would not let her be. - Keep it.

- How weak are your staff? How are they gonna react to when they actually see infected body parts?

- I said keep it. - she crossed her arms, ready to leave and return to the laboratory until she remembered something. She turned around on her heel, passive aggressive smile on her lips as she leaned her head on her shoulder. - Also, Dr. Stan, the infected tissue samples you sent us had the wrong birthdate on them.

- C’mon Y/N.

- They’re on hold until you speak with the laboratory manager about them. Good luck.

He opened his mouth to fight with her but she had already gotten into the elevator. The rest of her shift was pretty uneventful with her and a few of her colleagues having to pick up the pace to get everything sorted before they left. Miriam and her fiance left first at 1AM leaving Y/N to count the minutes til 2 AM rolled around. Once the clock read 2AM, like a speeder, she was out of that laboratory and into the elevator before anyone could call her. Walking to her parking spot, the sky was dark, the lot light by harsh yellow barely brightening. As she walked over to the second handed baby blue Fiat 500, she noticed someone hunched over and sat on the top of a black new model Audi, smoke coming out from his cigarette. Normally, she would’ve just avoided it and gotten into her car to go home but the turquoise scrubs were much too familiar at this point.

- Dr. Stan? - her boots hit the gravel as she stood just a few meters away from him. - Do they not teach you in medical school that smoking increases the chance of lung cancer?

- Not now, Y/N. - no sarcastic remark? That was a new one. He threw the cigarette butt onto the ground once it was all over, feet rubbing it against the gravel. - Not now.

- I thought your shift finished at 1:30? Pulling overtime hours? Someone needed your assistance? Death time?

- My septic patient died. - she immediately wished she hadn’t said anything. Death was not something she particularly dealt with. Surely, some results were awful, specially in cases of ultra resistant bacteria showing up in the blood but that’s what they were, results. She didn’t see the patient, in all honesty all she would know the patient would be by a barcode number. - Sepsis quickly lead to organ failure. I don’t understand ... she was getting better.

- Sepsis is unpredictable. You did the best you could do.

- And you’d know? All you do is be in the laboratory and do tests. What would you know about it?

- Okay ... - she put her hands on her hips. - Are you on any antibiotics, prescription pain killers, sedative drugs, statins or any antidepressants?

- I don’t see the point.

- The bar nearby has a discount for hospital staff. It’s only a five minute walk and everyone else is so miserable, you don’t feel bad about being miserable.

- I’m not going to the bar in my scrubs, Y/N.

- If you’re okay wearing those ... - she pointed at his scrubs. - Then you are okay wearing them at the bar.

She was right, the bar did look miserable. Not in a miserable way which would require regulation to shut down the place but miserable in a way one would just be at home wallowing in their pity with a pint of beer and right now that was all he needed. He sat in a sticky red booth, in front of her with a pint of beer while she picked a cocktail from the menu.

- You don’t seem like the type of girl who’d come here.

- And I’m not but they sell really cheap burgers at lunchtime. - she put her hand under her chin. - Besides, I’ve done this before.

- When did you convince someone to come to the bar because their patient flat lined?

- You know Dr. Liam Watts?

- Surgery residency? I’ve heard about him before. - her lips tensed in a straight line as she leaned her head on her shoulder. - No. You’ve been here with Bucktooth Watts before?

- Yeah... even after he clearly needed support after he couldn’t save his first patient, he still decided to take me on a date here.

- I’m sorry, you dated Bucktooth Watts? - he chuckled, downing whatever was left of his pint, signalling the bartender to bring him another one.

- This is why we don’t hang out. He’s not bucktoothed.

- Sure, sure. I see the appeal, I mean over Christmas at least you have someone to cut the carrots.

The night went onwards with a bunch of maybe irresponsible drinking. Y/N was two mojitos in and she was already tipsy and giggling like a school girl, not really used to drinking. Sebastian was in the same state as her, trying not to laugh at everything as they stepped outside to grab a taxi. At least both of them were conscious enough to decide not to drive.

- No, you did not get locked in the vroom cupboard during your residency. - she held her belly as she laughed.

- I did and my senior doctor did not notice I was gone. I was stuck there for 5 hours.

- Oh god. - she held herself against the wall. - I always knew you were a clutz. You know, you’re the only doctor who hasn’t told off his nurses about the blood bottles.

- Can I tell you a secret? - he whispered mid laughter. - I am afraid of them.

- Oh my god. - she held her hand on his shoulder covering her mouth with the other one. - See, this is why I constantly argue with you. You’re soft, doctor.

- Arguing with you is the best part of my day. You look really hot when you’re telling me off.

- You look terrible when I tell you off. - the two of them stopped laughing, looking into each other eyes for the first time since they’d been out of the laboratory. Maybe it was the alcohol but at that moment, the best idea to the two of them was to lean towards each other, his hands grasping each side of her waist as they connected the space between them, getting together into a hot long kiss.

mankind

injustices are flowing freely, more than ever before. or perhaps this has always been the state of mankind, and that the average man is only now increasing in knowledge. hate. meaningless hate. layered atop greed. selfishness. sprawled across generations. the abandonment of one’s conscience - leading to a slow and sure destruction of oneself, and in so many cases today, the destruction of another. oppression, oh great great an oppression, of the strong over the weak. towering, trampling; the giants have come to take another innocent life away.

this is the very picture of humanity - and it was always this way and will always be. “until when?” you ask. “im sick of this” - life is going on repeat and hurt just would not stop. ah, perhaps, death is the answer. that in death, shall you find true peace and rest. in death, all these injustices would be no more. well, what is your concept of death then? would life cease? would all our souls be resting as they do on a nice sunny peaceful morning? would that morning last forever? or maybe, NAH. rather than rest, our souls and lives we have lived would just combust, and return to dust. the life we’ve lived then, all for naught.

there is simply too much pain in this world. and it keeps coming, it wont stop. there seems to be no mercy, none. people cry out to their gods for help, to save them, only to hear their pleas echo into an empty space. but what if, hear me out just a little bit, WHAT IF, the cries have already been heard, and prayers, answered? i seek to explain.

could it be, that there lies a bigger reason to all we’re experiencing? that these injustices and sufferings reveal an inherent disease all of us are diagnosed with. not one spared. every single one, a disease carrier. surely, you would agree with me in some way, for you and i know, that we are no saints - we’ve told lies, cheated, lusted, angered over the simplest matters. and ah, we’ve hurt, so badly, by the world around us, just coming down upon us mercilessly, always, there is no space to breathe. this disease, mutates in ones who allow it to, that it grows stronger, infecting the brain and soon the entire body.

ultimately, this disease, a picture of men, as we have always been. and this disease, this sinful nature, the very result of mankind’s sin, the very result of a world who rejected the one true God. BRUH bullshit, u mutter, lameass trash christians talking their trash agin, WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW? HUH?!. hear me out, abit more! if this God is the source of everything good and righteous, the true origin of love and peace - would not a world without Him be a picture of everything otherwise? that is the reality of Hell, for there, God’s presence is cut off completely. but we are certainly not there yet - world wars, police brutality, objectifying, cheating on someone, instigating violence, greed, lust, these are slight glimpses of a place with no God.

but here on earth, it is not all about these things, because God willingly and lovingly extends His hand out, across all nationalities, across all races, across all social backgrounds - He is a universal God whose presence is still felt in the world, in the here and now. it’s not quite enough merely knowing this, my love, He yearns for you to take His hand, He won’t quit knocking on your door. why? there is but one simple reason. He loves you and wants you to be with Him, He longs for a relationship with you. far from it be, that His goal is for you and i to burn in hell. that could not be any further from the truth of His word, it is all, the very opposite. far from it be, that his joy is watching the world He created mashed up in chaos. far from it be, that he wants you to feel the pain and anger you feel today about George Floyd’s death forever. for He has already put forth a wonderful plan, Jesus. and in Jesus, that one might find life and true peace, freedom, hope and love. that in Christ, who defeated sin on the cross, that we might eventually return to God, the source of everything good. and surely, where God is, cannot reside a world like ours today.

WHAT ABOUT ALL THESE PROBLEMS TODAY? don’t you worry, these injustices, they do not go unheard - God is mighty and just, He is His people’s avenger! in His timing, He emerges and deals with the wicked.

so will you come along? will you consider for just a second, of my proposition to you right now about Jesus? He is not just some good guy who lived and did cool miracles 2000 years ago, He is YOUR guy and MY guy. He is, in fact, everyone’s guy. He loves, and has sought to love for the longest time. will you turn to Him, seeing and admitting the sin within us? will you walk with Him until and beyond the day when He returns and sets things back to where they belong? and by that i am talking about a place with no hurt, pain nor sorrow because it is a place where God is. and this i will assure you, that although no one knows when Jesus will reverse the wicker order of society today, that it will most definitely come to pass. because His words are trustworthy. are you interested on a journey of the one who loves you most? essentially, are you interested in Jesus’s offer to you, an offer of a journey back home? for it is written, ever so clearly, the words of God, they were written “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” [John 20:31].

you must have many comments - list them all, wrestle with me about your thoughts, for i long for you, whoever you are, to respond to Jesus, and say to Him “I’d like to know you, and come home, too”.

Charmed Again (Charmed Fanfic)

Episode 10 - Into The Darkness (Finale)

Warnings: I don’t own the rights to any of the characters from the hit TV show “Charmed” or the storylines related to the show those rights belong to original creator Constance M Burge.

15+ Moderate/Graphic Displays of Violence, Sexual Innuendos, Witchcraft and Potentially Triggering Scenes.

Paul walked in the San Francisco Police Department anxiously barging past people before rushing up the stairs and into a hallway before reaching Eric Morgan’s office door as he began knocking on the door repeatedly before Eric eventually shouted for him to come in.

“I’m just going to assume you will be continuously visiting my office until someone has heard of anything about where the hell Drake is.” Eric said to a clearly sleep deprived Paul as Paul walked into his office. “Mr Halliwell, I promise you that we are doing everything within our power to find your son he’s a top priority and not just because he used to be one of us. I consider him family I mean I’ve known him since he was a kid.”

“I know your doing everything you can and I’m doing everything within my power to find him.” Paul replied. “It’s been an entire week with no sightings either up here or down below and I’ve tried every spell in the book of shadows and I’m beginning to think…”

“Don’t even finish that sentence Paul, I’ve known Drake a long time and one thing he’s always been is a survivor.” Eric told Paul. “Trust me wherever he is he will be alive and probably making any kidnapper regret every second their holding him hostage.”

“You’re right and his mother is the queen of hell surely that will win my son some brownie points if it is a demonic situation.” Paul agreed. “I just want him home.”

Lacey burst through Eric’s office door immediately demanding both of their attention with her clothes torn and her entire body covered in dirt, bruises and cuts leaving both her father and her sister’s brother completely confused.

“What happened to you?” Paul asked in shock.

“Apparently desert islands make shitty prisons when your cast under a guardian spell that will make you stop at nothing to protect a certain charmed one.” Lacey revealed to them both.

“I have gathered you all here because I am far from amused about the rumblings and rumors about your queen becoming soft.” Eve declared as to a cave full of demons in black robes who knelled before their queen as she sat on her throne made entirely of skulls within the Underworld. “I am the queen of hell and I’ve worked harder than any of you so I refuse to allow these treacherous lies to continue so by order of your queen you are to kill all who would defy me.”

“My queen some of us are only worried that the ties you have with the charmed ones will only weaken your loyalty towards the Underworld I mean you have a son who is a charmed one.” A random demon stood up and interrupted only to catch on flames by a wave of Eve’s hands before the demon exploded into pieces.

“I will never allow rumors, lies or any disloyalty of any kind.” Eve made herself clear. “Which brings me to my next reason for this meeting I can confirm my son has rejected his charmed heritage to join us in the ranks of the Underworld.”

“But my beloved queen a charmed in hell is unheard of.” Another demon interrupted while rising to their feet. “I fear this will be the undoing of us all.”

Drake blinks himself in front of the robed demon before Eve could respond to the demon shouting athame which appeared in the Halliwell hybrid’s hands before he used the weapon to plunge it into the demon’s chest.

“I believe my mother made herself very clear about being questioned.” Drake addressed the demons while his victim burst into flames before exploding.

“How on earth did you escape the island?” Pan asked Lacey as she and Paul walked into the foyer of the Halliwell Manor where she was stood waiting.

“It drove me insane and I have cuts and wounds in places I never knew existed, but this guardian stuff is no joke.” A now freshly dressed Lacey revealed to her girlfriend before giving her a kiss.

“Why didn’t Quinn at least try and stop you?” Pan wondered.

“He’s a little bit scared of me which I fully used to my advantage.” Lacey boasted with a smile of pride on her face.

“I’m glad to see you Lacey but you can’t be here right now it’s more dangerous around this place than ever before.” Pan told her detective girlfriend.

“Paul filled me in on everything Drake related, and it seems to me I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.” Lacey replied to her.

“I must say the fact that third act of the charmed ones is still missing and you’re all incapable of finding him doesn’t give me much confidence in your evaluation.” Merlow announced after orbing into the foyer. “Or the fact we’re entrusting mortals with magical secrets.”

“Screw your bloody evaluation,” Paul snapped at the elder. “I don’t care what you have to say or what you think of us my son is missing and that’s all that matters right now.”

“Who the hell is this guy?” Lacey asked Pan.

“He’s this elder who’s been sent to evaluate us as charmed ones and Quinn as a white lighter.” Pan revealed to her.

“And where exactly is Jason Quinn? I haven’t been able to get some proper one on one time with him for an entire week.” Merlow wondered.

“You can forgive him for being too busy doing his job to be able to have a sit and chat with you.” Pan said, being the next Halliwell to snap at the elder.

“Yes well Drake is only one of Jason Quinn’s many charges and although I do believe the charmed ones should be his priority he shouldn’t be wasting all his time for a charge who is more than likely given into his demonic side I mean that’s what demons do best.” Merlow replied to Pan.

Lacey quickly walked over to the elder with a furious look on her face before punching him in the face causing the elder to hit the floor with force.

“Here’s my evaluation of your pompous ass you’re rude and need to leave before I test this whole angel not being able to die twice theory.” Lacey told the elder rather bluntly making both Paul and Pan smile.

“This will not stand you can’t just disrespect an elder like this.” Merlow complained as he got back onto his two feet.

“Why not? I mean you were disrespecting us.” Pan answered him. “And last time I checked my girlfriend can do whatever the hell she likes to do and often does.”

Merlow didn’t waste time responding to Pan choosing to quickly orb away before angering the three of them any further.

“I think we should be looking straight at the source of all evil I mean she was in contact with him and he had recently worked out she was a big liar just before he went missing.” Lacey suggested to both Pan and Paul.

“You might be right,” Pan replied. “I really thought for a second she might’ve considered doing the right thing for her son.”

“What made you think for a single second she’d ever do that?” Paul questioned his sister before realizing. “You’ve spoken to her, haven’t you?”

“What am I missing here?” Lacey asked them both before turning her attention to her girlfriend. “Why on earth would you believe the source of all evil would have any good in her I mean the hints right there in her title?”

“Have you or have you not seen her?” Paul snapped at Paul.

“She may have visited me once or twice but both times were before Drake went missing and I thought I was getting through to her but clearly she never listened to a single word I said.” Pan admitted to her older brother. “Eve’s never been an easy subject for either of us to speak about and I didn’t need you worrying anymore than you were already else I would’ve told you sooner I swear I had no idea she’d stoop so low as to kidnap her own soon.”

“Of course, you never believed she would do something like that I can’t believe after all these years she can still fool you.” Paul furiously replied to her. “I can’t believe you’ve let her do this to us again.”

“Oh my god you were involved with the source, weren’t you?” A stunned Lacey asked her girlfriend. “You were involved with Drake’s mother?”

“In my defense I was with her before she became Drake’s mother.” Pan replied to her girlfriend before delivering a bitch glare towards her brother.

“Did you love her?” Lacey questioned Pan while dreading the answer.

Eve appeared in a burst of flames within a satanic circle somewhere within the caves of the Underworld where three people whose identities were hidden in triad robes awaited their queen of hell.

“I have followed your advice, but I don’t believe everything is going as planned.” She said to them. “He’s definitely darker now but he doesn’t seem like my son anymore.”

“He’s merely growing accustomed to his newfound darkness he is bound to change as time goes on while the evil takes more and more control over him before finally becoming the son you’ve always wanted and the prince the Underworld needs.” One of the three triad members replied to her.

“He’s already the son I’ve always wanted I don’t want him to change who he is.” Eve admitted to the triad.

“Why infect him with the woogy if you didn’t want him to change?” Another third of the triad spoke. “Now is not a time for you to be weak and question yourself Eve.”

“You’re right I’m just adjusting to this change like Drake is.” Eve agreed. “I just wish he chose this life instead of having to force it upon him.”

“I’m sorry I thought dumping you on a remote island was a good idea and I’m sorry you had to get back here yourself before I came to my senses although I must admit I’m highly impressed that you did.” Pan apologised to Lacey as the two of them sat on the couch within the living room of the Halliwell Manor.

“I’m more surprised that someone like you could be with someone who literally lives and rules hell.” Lacey admitted to her.

“Firstly, the Underworld is more like a hellish lair than hell itself in fact hell is a much worse place believe it or not and secondly she wasn’t the source when I used to be with her.” Pan revealed to her girlfriend.

“That’s a bit more understandable I suppose but why didn’t you just tell me you and Drake’s mother had a past?” Lacey asked.

“It’s a painful part of my past and I didn’t wee why you need to know.” Pan told her.

“I’m supposed to be the woman you love, and it feels like you hid something from me because it’s still painful and therefore not part of your past if you’re still hurting in the present.” Lacey explained to Pan. “I dealt well with the magic secret I would’ve handled Eve well too.”

“She is a part of my past Lacey.” Pan promised her.

“Do you still have feelings for her?” Lacey asked only to be immediately met with a silence that devastated her. “I guess that means yes.”

“No of course I don’t have feelings for her anymore Lacey.” Pan told her after Lacey stood up from the couch as Pan stood up to face her. “I love you.”

“I know you do, and I love you too, but that moment of hesitation says you’re not quite over her yet.” Lacey said as tears formed in her eyes.

“That’s not true.” Pan replied with uncertainty as tears began forming in her eyes too.

“I can’t be with someone who has feelings for someone else.” Lacey cried.

“Why does it feel like we’re breaking up?” Pan asked, fearing the obvious answer.

“Because we are.” Lacey admitted.

Drake found himself walking through the seemingly never-ending caves of the Underworld when Quinn orbed his way in front of his troubled charge.

“Quinn you really shouldn’t have come here.” Drake told him before being met with a hug from his white lighter.

“I’m so glad you’re okay we were all worried about you.” Quinn admitted before breaking off his hug with the man he loved. “Are you okay?”

“You probably should’ve have came looking for me.” Drake replied as his eyes briefly turned jet black before returning to normal.

“Oh no Drake what’s happened to you?” A fearful Quinn asked before Drake summoned a fireball above his hand. “Let’s just say I’m royalty now.”

“Please just tell me what I’m supposed to do?” Paul pleaded as he looked upwards stood in front of the book of shadows within the attic of the Halliwell Manor, shouting to his ancestors for help in finding his missing son. “Please I can’t lose him again.”

The book of shadows began flipping pages on it’s own accord once again before stopping on the page with the spell entitled how to banish the Woogyman which left him confused knowing the woogy is normally a problem from within the family home and that was one place where his son wasn’t.

“You really should’ve just stayed away for once in your life.” Drake said to Quinn as he began walking towards his white lighter in the caves of the Underworld. “This isn’t personal but if folk down here got word we met, and I didn’t kill you they’d think I’m soft and I can’t be having that.”

“I don’t know what’s happened to you Drake, but you know this isn’t you.” Quinn pleaded with his charge.

“It’s who I am now.” Drake replied to him.

“I don’t know what it is that’s controlling you, but you are stronger than this.” Quinn tried to convince him.

“No, he can’t.” Drake laughed sinisterly as his eyes went completely jet black.

“Okay well if talking isn’t working.” Quinn said before plunging towards a possessed Drake kissing him and watching Drake’s eyes as they turned back to normal. “It worked.”

Drake smiled at Quinn for a brief moment before pulling his body towards his own as the two men began passionately kissing each other as their hands begin to wonder fondling each of their bodies in the process before Drake pushed Quinn up against a nearby wall and pulled his white lighter’s shirt open with force as they looked at each other for a moment with longing in their eyes before Quinn tore open Drake’s shirt and the two began kissing once again.

“You should really start thinking about doing a girl a favour and staying dead.” Lacey said while knocking back her beer in a rundown dive bar as Paul and Pan’s mother Melinda sat down on a stool next to her placed at the bar counter.

“I know I’ve done you so many wrongs and I’ve wronged my children and my grandchild and I can’t ever fix what I destroyed but at the very least I can break a spell I should never have cast in the first place.” Melinda revealed to Lacey as she looked around to make sure nobody was paying too much attention.

“You mean you’ve found a way to break the spell?” Lacey asked in shock.

“Release this guardian from her chains release her from her magical reins.” Melinda chanted quietly. “The spell once cast is now reversed and Lacey will finally put Lacey first.”

“Is that it?” Lacey wondered. “It feels kind of anti-climatic after all these years.”

“That’s all I hope you one day forgive me for what I’ve done.” Melinda apologised to Lacey while standing up from her stool.

“I don’t get it after all this time why do you decide to break the spell when I’m needed more than ever before?” Lacey questioned the Halliwell ghost.

“Because Pan has suffered far too many losses and I can’t be to blame for another.” Melinda admitted to her. “Pan needs you to be safe more than I need you to play guardian.”

“Somehow I’m not entirely sure I’m her number one priority.” Lacey told Melinda.

“Of course, you’re not her family will always come first but I know you understand that.” Melinda replied to the detective. “Which means you must be talking about the infamous ex and all I can suggest there is to not let Pan’s past with Eve define your future with her.”

“Just how much do you overhear from up there exactly?” Lacey asked which was followed by her laughing.

“Enough to know that my daughter truly loves you and not her.” Melinda told her.

“I can’t be doing this we’ve got to stop doing this Quinn nothing ever comes from this and it hurts too much.” Drake admitted after pulling himself away from Quinn as the two remained in the caves of the Underworld. “You need to go and never come back.”

“I can’t leave without you Drake I know this isn’t what you want you’re nothing like your mother and you never will be.” Quinn replied to him.

“I can’t fight this thing inside of me it’s becoming too strong.” Drake said as his eyes began to go black once more. “You need to go now!”

“I’m not leaving you Drake!” Quinn made himself clear.

“Halliwell Manor!” Drake shouted as he waved his hand and made Quinn blink out of sight.

“I think Drake has somehow been infected by the woogy or at least that’s what our undead family have concluded but there’s still no way of locating him so instead of answers all I’m getting is more questions.” Paul rambled as Pan walked into the attic to find him stood behind the book of shadows.

“At least we’re one step closer to finding him,” Pan said before coming up with an idea almost instantly after. “Come to think of it what if we don’t find him?”

“So far you input is not helping.” Paul snapped at his younger sister.

“What if we use the reversal spell for the to find a lost witch spell and take ourselves to wherever he is.” Pan explained herself.

“Oh my god Pan you’re a genius.” Paul replied with excitement. “Although if we were smarter, we would’ve reached that conclusion seven days ago.”

“I found Drake and he’s possessed by…” Quinn began to say after orbing into the attic.

“The woogy.” Pan said interrupting her white lighter. “You’re kind of slow on the intake.”

“I was actually just going to say something but it’s good you guys bet me to the conclusion because that means there’s probably a spell all ready.” Quinn replied to them both before hearing a jingle in his ears. “Oh, great the elders want me right away I’m guessing it’s the conclusion of our terrible evaluation but they’re going to have to wait because Drake comes first.”

“Powers of the witches rise course unseen across the skies. Take us three to he wherever he may be. Take us there to settle there.” Pan and Paul chanted after Pan and Quinn walked over to be by Paul’s side before the three of them disappeared within a series of white orbs.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Eve screamed as she walked into the caves of the Underworld to find her son Drake sitting on her throne.

“I’ve been thinking being a prince isn’t all it’s cracked up to be I’d rather be king.” Drake admitted to her as he stood up from his mother’s throne. “Which means you’re going to have to go.”

“Okay you’re in some serious need of a time out mister.” Eve told her son before he summoned a fireball above his hand. “The woogy has seriously infected you Drake I’m the queen of hell!”

“Correction you were the queen of hell.” Drake replied before throwing the fireball in his mother’s direction to which she ducked managing to dodge the fireball which instead hit the floor of the cave as Paul, Pan and Quinn appeared in front of them both in a series of white orbs.

“Thank god,” Eve breathed a sigh of relief while looking at Pan. “Just banish the woogy out of him already!”

Paul and Quinn both looked at Eve with confusion in their eyes while Pan focused her attention on Drake raising both her hands to freeze the woogy inside the Halliwell hybrid making Drake fall to the ground while a dark smoke frozen in mid-air remained.

“I am light I am one too strong to fight. So, go away to where shadows dwell you cannot have this Halliwell.” Paul chanted making the dark smoke disappear out of sight much to everyone’s relief before Eve disappeared within a burst of flames.

“Well that was a very interesting week.” Drake said as he rose to his feet. “Do possessions happen a lot in this family because I have a feeling they do?”

“You have so much more to learn little nephew.” Pan cackled as Paul rushed over to Drake and hugged his son.

“I was so worried I lost you again I never ever want to lose you again!” Paul told his son as he continued to hug Drake tightly.

“Okay but your kind of doing more damaged than the woogy did right now.” Drake replied as he broke off their hug.

“I’m sorry.” Paul apologised before hugging his son once more as Pan and Quinn smiled at each other relieved to know this ordeal was over.

Drake stood in the spare bedroom while looking around the room with inspiration in his eyes as he began to think about all the ways he could decorate it into making it feel like his own bedroom.

“Does this mean your finally moving in?” Quinn asked as he orbed into the room.

“Well after spending a week with woogy I figured Paul and Pan would be less invasive roommates.” Drake replied.

“How are you feeling after everything?” Quinn wondered.

“Shouldn’t you be checking in with the elders they won’t be happy you’ve kept them waiting.” Drake told him.

“I figured checking in with you first is more important.” Quinn replied with a smile on his face.

“When you kissed me the woogy temporary moved out and it was me kissing you back.” Drake revealed to him.

“That’s the real reason I was checking in,” Quinn admitted as he moved closer towards Drake. “Where does that leave us now?”

“You’re a white lighter and I’m a demon it’s forbidden.” Drake answered him before Quinn kissed him on the lips.

“I’d break all the rules just to spend one day with you.” Quinn told him. “Drake I…”

Before Quinn could finish what, he had to say he suddenly felt himself forcefully orbing out of the room leaving Drake not knowing what he was about to say as he was left alone in his new room.

“To be continued I guess.” Drake replied with a sad sigh.

“I’m guessing that bedding is for Drake,” Pan said as she walked out of her room to find Paul stood in the hallway searching through a nearby cupboard where they kept towels and linen. “He said he’d move in, but he didn’t say he was moving in tonight.”

“I know he’s probably not going to move in tonight but I want his room to be ready so he can move in whenever he wants to.” Paul admitted with a sense of excitement in his voice.

“I don’t think you’ve glowed this much in years it’s good to see you happy.” Pan told her older brother. “It’s been too long.”

“No offense but I don’t do old bedding that’s stuffed in some family cupboard I’ll swing by the store later before coming back tonight to change the bed.” Drake said as he walked out of his room and over towards Paul and Pan. “Which brings me to the whole I’m going to need a new bed I get a lot of this place is antiques but antiques aren’t what your looking for when it comes to slumber time.”

“You want to move in tonight?” Pan asked, shocked by Drake’s sudden rush to move in.

“How late is later exactly?” Paul wondered as he closed the cupboard door. “Just so I know when to start cooking dinner.”

“I’m not sure I’ve got to vanquish the source of all evil first then I need to sweet talk Cindy into not firing me, so I’m guess pretty late.” Drake told them both, shocking them even further.

“If your wanting to vanquish your mother after what she’s done that’s understandable but don’t rush into something because your angry in case you wind up regretting it.” Pan replied to her nephew.

“I’m pissed off with her who wouldn’t be in my shoes but deciding to vanquish her isn’t a decision I’m making out of hate because I don’t hate her despite everything I kind of still like her but liking someone doesn’t mean they’re worth being liked.” Drake explain to his father and aunt. “She’s too dangerous to keep alive and it’s my duty to protect the innocent.”

“Vanquishing your mother isn’t going to be easy Drake.” Pan warned him.

“You’re going to need to learn a spell and it requires the power of three.” Paul revealed to his son.

“No worries I already ripped the page with the spell on it out of the book and I’ve been memorizing it since we got back.” Drake admitted much to Paul and Pan’s horror.

“You ripped a page out of the book of shadows?” Pan asked. “We don’t harm the book ever I mean that’s sacrilege!”

“I thought so but it’s pretty funny to see your reactions.” Drake laughed.

“Where are all the other elders?” Quinn asked Paige as the two of them stood within the clouds high above.

“I convinced them to let me deliver the verdict by myself I thought it’d be easier coming from just one of us.” Paige explained to him. “I think you’re doing a great job and you’re going to continue doing a great job it’s just the others don’t agree so much about the charmed ones being the right fit for you and I was out voted on keeping you as their white lighter.”

“This is because of me and Drake isn’t it?” Quinn asked. “He’s a charmed one first and just because he’s part demon doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be allowed to be with him.”

“Trust me when I say I couldn’t agree more with you Quinn but there’s still a lot of archaic angels up here and my work is never done trying to bring them into a more modern way of thinking.” Paige admitted to the white lighter. “I’m sorry but you’re no longer the charmed ones’ white lighter.”

“But I can’t leave them now, I can’t leave him.” Quinn said as tears began forming in his eyes. “I’m in love with him.”

Drake stood within the basement of the Halliwell Manor looking almost reluctant for a second while holding a crystal behind his back as his biological mother Eve appeared into the basement within a burst of flames.

“I’m sorry for taking that approach with you but it truly felt like I had no other choice.” Eve apologised to him.

“I’m an amazing person and I don’t need to change just to be accepted.” Drake told her.

“I do love you for exactly who you are when the woogy was inside you it made me realize just how much I’m glad that you’re nothing like me.” Eve revealed to her son before Drake walked over to her placing the finale crystal in the circle and trapping his mother in the crystal cage by doing so.

“I’m sorry for this I really am but you’re too much of a threat for mum.” Drake said as tears formed in his eyes while Pan and Paul appeared from the top of the stairs and began walking down.

“You’re calling me mum that’s all I ever truly wanted.” Eve cried. “Do what you need to do Drake just know I will never stop loving you and you will always be my son.”

Drake and Eve continued to cry as Pan and Paul reached the bottom of the stairs both grabbing a hold of one of Drake’s hands.

“Are you sure you want to do this Drake?” Pan asked her nephew.

“Goodbye mum!” Drake said to Eve as his voice began to break.

“Goodbye my beautiful boy.” Eve replied.

“Prudence, Piper, Phoebe, Penelope, Patricia, Melinda, Chris, Astrid, Helena, Laura and Grace. Halliwell witches stand strong beside us vanquish the evil through…” The charmed ones began to chant but before they could vanquish Eve, she suddenly blinked out of sight much to their confusion.

“What the hell just happened?” Pan asked them both.

“I have absolutely no idea.” Paul replied.

“You almost found yourself vanquished by the charmed ones after allowing them to rid the woogy from your son if we didn’t pull our powers together in time you would be dead.” One of the three robed triad members said to Eve who appeared in front of them within a blink in the caves of the Underworld.

“Well it’s a good thing I hand picked my new triad very wisely then.” Eve replied to them.

“You should’ve never let it get so close.” Another triad member shouted at the source before removing his hood to reveal himself as Eric Morgan.

“Things aren’t that easy father!” Eve snapped at him. “Having a son who’s a charmed one is bound to complicate some things.”

“Now is not the time to grow sentimental we need Drake on our side whether he wants to be or not especially after dealing with his rather annoying human.” Eric or at least the demon inside of Eric Morgan told his daughter.

“Which human?” Eve asked before realizing. “What did you do to the detective?”

Pan went to knock the door of Lacey’s family home only to be left alarmed after noticing the door was slightly open by itself knowing a detective would never leave their home open especially not her detective she decided to walk into her girlfriend’s home.

“Lacey!” Pan shouted as she walked through the foyer of the Morgan family home only to be left horrified to find Lacey’s lifeless and blood covered body laying on the floor of the living room causing her to scream frantically as she ran over to Lacey, kneeling over and picking up her body into her arms. “No, Lacey you can’t be gone! Lacey!”

Pan continued to scream her girlfriend’s name repeated as she sobbed over the lifeless body of the woman she loved.

DSOE: MON; ７-Memory of the God

The Muzzle of Nemesis chapter content summary under the cut

New character names untranslated: Urado, Marii, Seiramu, Hadzuki (Hazuki)

Scene 1

The chapter opens with a snippet from the Levin Bible, detailing how the gods had a paradise, lost it, found a new one, lost it to "Malice", and then went searching for another one to create a new paradise there (the Third Period).

Scene 2

This is what Levia's memories entail.

Unable to avert the destruction of their world, Levia and the others could only flee the Earth (the actual word for Earth, chikyuu). 72 people were selected as the crew of the Climb One (Crime One? "kuraimuwan", it appears to be a reference to some sort of Japanese travel service/store), an enormous space ship. Famous scientists and researchers and their assistants. Levia rode on that ship with her mother and brother.

Don't know a lot of the kanji in this sentence but the gist seems to be that they are already aware of several inhabitable planets, and the purpose of the Climb One was to find one to repopulate on. Apparently there were also other spaceships sent out with the same purpose. Although as time went on, they stopped receiving messages from these other ships. They're not sure why, but Levia suspects it's because there were deviants--"HER"s, which were the cause of the Earth's destruction--hidden onboard those other crews.

In the end it seemed likely that the crew on the Climb One were the only remaining inhabitants of Earth.

With that in mind, they revised their goal. They wouldn't just make a new home--they would make a new species (one that's made in the image of the earthlings).

Just as a note--there are a lot of technical words I don't know in this info-dump. I am reasonably certain that the point of the information is coming across, but I don't know exactly I'm getting the specific words, as I do not wish to have to look up every single unfamiliar kanji if I'm just reading and not translating it. So bear that in mind.

It says something about the crew's genes having gone rogue (?) so they couldn't simply clone in a new generation of earthlings (the gods in this are consistently referred to as that, btw. "Earthlings"/earth people). Levia was appointed the task of making the new mankind's souls. They needed to make it so their civilization could play out in a shorter time period than the one on Earth, but closely resemble it. A PC gamer (does not use the actual term) in the crew compared it to a "New Game +" (specifically as a "Chrono Trigger" reference).

As the name suggests, Climb One became a cornerstone in humanity "creeping up" from the tragedy of Earth's destruction (?).

Eventually the crew both found a new world to inhabit, and succeeded in creating a new race. But they had a problem--there were still HERs on the Climb One.

Seth Twiright was not supposed to be on the ship. Shortly before he would have been selected, he supposedly discovered he was an HER and killed himself. But in actuality, he secretly swapped places with another crew member and came onboard. It was a while before anyone knew.

As a result of that(?), much of the crew perished, and it somewhat warped the Third Period like it did the Second.

The 62 crew members who died had their spirit data preserved by Levia. Professor Held made it so that they would be in the forest and watch over the new world (they're Held's forest spirits, basically).

Because of Seth, there was a chance that there would be HERs in the Third Period. So the remaining members talked about it, and came to a decision. Levia, Behemo, Rahab, Gilles, Lich, Vlad, Salem, and Marie would incarnate their spirit data as gods to manage the Third Period and make sure it went smoothly.

But Professor Held and Hazuki rejected that, insisting that they should quietly die inside the ship and let the new humanity figure things out for themselves. Of course, Levia and the others didn't agree. In the end, their argument turned to physically trying to kill each other (it's the Black Box that they used to manipulate spirit data with, and they couldn't use it without permission from all living crewmembers, I think?).

The Climb One crashed.

Their bodies were destroyed, but their spirit data remained inside the ship. Without any living crew members, they couldn't use the Black Box. Even if they could, they would need something to transfer the souls to. They could try to incarnate in one of the new human's bodies, but she didn't think that would go well(?).

Inside Climb One, alongside the Black Box there was also a sample of failed work in cold storage. A living thing that Behemo, who had been in charge of creating their new race's bodies, had made, which resembled a dragon from fantasy. They planned to incarnate into it for the time being and then wait for new human bodies. Though Behemo wasn't very enthusiastic about it.

Before the ship fell, Hazuki and Held had Levia and Behemo injected with certain liquid medicine. It was a drug that caused humans to turn into this "dragon" (? I mean I think this is right but I'm a little confused on what exactly is meant by this). They both felt the fear of the crash and fear of their bodies becoming monsters (again this whole thing with the dragon feels a little incomprehensible to me, but the end result is that they have to stay inside the ship).

But then, they still had to fix the problem with the Black Box anyway.

They decided to wait. Once the civilization of the new world advanced enough, somebody would come along who would be able to use the Black Box.

During that time she realized the reason for Held and Hazuki's refusal. Due to Seth, Levia had been infected with "malice"--she was an HER. And as time passed, her spirit data grew corrupted. Eventually, she came to desire only destruction and purification. She began to believe that they didn't need a world without the Earthlings' interference, and so wanted to destroy it and start over.

Eventually their chance arrived. Unbeknownst to anyone, before they killed him Seth sent his spirit data off the ship. He had a body in cold storage waiting for him, lying dormant amidst the new race of humans. The cold storage was ended with a timer, and he opened his eyes in a lab called "Lunaca Labora".

Though a stowaway, Seth was a member of Climb One's crew. He could use the Black Box. Sealed in the ship, the others couldn't do anything about him.

The new world's culture advanced as well. Using technology from the crashed ship, they created a highly advanced country, the Magic Kingdom Levianta. Alice Merry-Go-Round ruled it. She had the power to contact them, there in the ship. Levia doesn't know how.

Levia and Behemo spoke to her, pretending to be "gods". But then, they technically were. They created the world, after all. By her orders, Seth began to work as a scientist in Levianta. The "Sin" ark is what they called the Climb One. He managed it.

They told him to use the Black Box for them, but of course he refused because they tried to kill him.

They had another chance though. As one of the members of the team creating the new humans, he was able to use his knowledge to create the artificial humans called "ghoul children". They were clones of Seth, so they could also use the Black Box.

Once more Levia and Behemo sought to get new bodies for themselves. Because Behemo said that he didn't want a dragon body, but a proper one.

Due to "Project MA"--the new humanity's artificial impregnation project--they tried to have their new bodies born into the world as the "Twins of God". But it didn't work out very well. The first mother miscarried. The next ones were born, but the mother ran off with them. All the ones afterwards had various problems with them.

There were various "ghoul children" around at this point, and some of them lived in Levianta. Two were Kiril and Irina, brother and sister. Irina was chosen as candidate for the seventh Project Ma. But Levia didn't want to wait any longer--she figured it would probably be another failure like the last one. So she decided they would have to make do with the dragon body.

During the battle to become the MA candidate, a certain woman was murdered. Elluka Chirclatia--Kiril's girlfriend. Kiril's heart was weakened by his loss, so Levia reached out to him from the ark. She made him use the device.

It mentions justifications for why the box exploded (I think because Kiril was a clone and not a real crewmember, and because the box was damaged in the crash, and because it hadn't been used in a while, or something like that). Before they could transfer into the dragon it grew violent and destroyed the ark.

The Black Box acted of its own accord and sent Levia and Behemo's bodies into Elluka's corpse. There is a rule in this world that those souls who reincarnate have their memories of before the reincarnation sealed. "Swapping" into a body that hadn't been prepared for it (I think?), Levia lost her memories.

There were a lot of questions about what happened to everyone else. Professor Held and Hazuki's spirit data wasn't on the ark. But, there was the god "Held", the great tree in the forest. Though she has no idea when he sent his spirit there, if it is him. Especially considering he hadn't wanted to interfere in the new world. She figures the "sun god", the bat, is Hazuki, but that has the same problems as Held.

There's also the issue of the other six still in the ark. She thought they were destroyed when the ship was, but, like Seth, they ended up being inside the vessels of sin. Except Lich, whose spirit ended up going to the forest with the rest of the former crew.

Of course, with her memories lost, none of this occurred to her until later.

She lived in the new world as the sorceress Elluka Clockworker. Possibly due to something to do with the new humankind's bodies, she was able to move her spirit data without the Black Box. She was able to live a long life, sometimes swapping bodies.

She met Karchess, Platonic, Leonhart, Mariam, Michaela, Gumillia, Allen, Ayn (from Pierrot), and many others. She had to part with them, too. But her life changed about 600 years later. She wasn't the only one living a long life. There was also Irina, whose spirit data had been put in a red cat plushy by Seth.

She started a duel with her. The fight at Merrigod Plateau sent Behemo up to the heavenly yard, and drew Levia, Irina, and Eve, one of the demons, into the being that became known as "Ma".

Scene 3

Levia was one of the people who made the world. But she also had lived a long time as one of its inhabitants. She was unable to grasp the structure of the world as it continued to go rogue (?). But Ma could.

Ma foresaw that the world would be destroyed one day. And she thought that if she became a "pure being", she would be able to survive it. Levia isn't sure what a "pure being" is, but at any rate such a being would be extremely powerful.

To become a "pure being", Ma had to expel Irina and Levia, both of whom were HERs. But at the same time, they were part of the fusion that made her up. Without them, she would no longer exist. She wouldn't make it very long with just Eve. So she decided to absorb the other six demons.

The first one she absorbed was Rahab, the demon of Envy. However, she wouldn't obey Ma even after being taken in (?). The next one was Salem, the demon of Greed, who yielded to her, as a British gentleman himself.

With the power of Eve and Salem, Ma was able to safely cast out Levia and Irina. But she needed people who could serve as "receptacles" for their souls. Hanma's daughter was her first subject. To use someone as a receptacle, they needed to have magical ability. But at that time, there wasn't a whole lot of people like that left. Hanma was one such person she found.

But there was another problem. The receptacle had to be the same gender as the souls. So instead she took Hanma's daughter, and tried to use the "body swap" to insert Levia's soul in her. But Levia's soul returned back to her. Postman wasn't good enough of a vessel.

She tried to find someone else, but to no avail. It seemed Ma was the only person suitable in that day and age. But she didn't give up. If she couldn't find one, she would make one. She had a baby with her lover, Gandolf Marlon, who was descended from Keel Freezis. Unfortunately, this child was a boy.

She waited for Gallerian to have a child of his own. He had Michelle, the girl she was after. But she needed one more to get rid of both Irina and Levia (I don't know if she ended up using Michelle though because it doesn't make mention of that, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on there). Disgustingly, she decided to have an affair with Gallerian to get another child.

She used some technology in Lunaca Labora to check to make sure the fetus was female, and then swapped a soul into it before it could develop one of its own.

She did not choose Irina for this, but rather Levia. Levia was reborn as Ma's daughter.

Levia thinks on it and understands why the rule of sealing a reincarnated person's memories exists. Hazuki and Held hadn't wanted her or any of the others to become managers over the new world. Even if they were gods, they would become normal people, with all their memories lost.

Levia was born into the world as a baby. Ma named her "Nemesis" and then left soon after.

Scene 4

The Irregular system is over.

Scene 5

She is standing in the middle of a great field, a world with nothing in it. Allen is right next to her, and he welcomes her back. She realizes that this is the real world, the one she destroyed.

Allen told her that the facility and everything in it had been a delusion, but that’s not really true. It used to be real. It was scenes from the world she used to live in, before it got destroyed.

She asks Allen why he's there, despite having died centuries ago. He explains that all the dead souls are here--that's what happened after she destroyed the world. All their souls ended up down on the world's surface. She says there's no one left alive in the world.

Allen says that she is still alive. She's the only one.

She tells him that there was a "malice" inside Nemesis' spirit that sought to destroy the world. The fragment of a god that was originally sealed in the ark. The voice of her other self that spoke to her.

She'd desired the destruction of the world while inside the ark. But now that she's achieved it, she isn't really all that pleased with herself. She asks why she's still alive, and Allen says it's because she's a demon contractor.

She was able to survive, but it still left damage on her, mentally. Her body and spirit were separated. So Nemesis wandered the ruined world, and Levia was trapped in an illusion. She asks why Allen came to see her, and he explains that without her soul, Nemesis kept repeating her previous actions--that is, trying to destroy the world again. Though "Punishment" no longer exists, the "boy" still does, the lifeform that carries destruction. Seth made many things, like Grim the End, and Ghoul Children. The "boy" also got caught up in the world's destruction--but he has no soul of his own. So he remained in the depths of Lunaca Labora--the "graveyard".

Nemesis' soulless body sought him out and tried to use him to destroy the world again. She asks if there's even anything left to destroy, and Allen points out that as it is right now, the "boy" could destroy all of the souls left wandering the planet. So they had to stop it.

The souls refers to the "spirit data".

They couldn't stop Nemesis' body forever, as they didn't have any bodies themselves. So they went to meet with Nemesis' spirit to get her to stop. Of course, they had certain things they needed to do to enter the delusion--one of them was to come in as someone that existed in Nemesis' memories. Hence his masquerading as Postman. He couldn't go as Allen--Elluka knew him, but Nemesis didn't.

But Allen wasn't the only one who came in, she remembers. There had been other intruders. And that's not the only thing. She asks what the "Irregular System" was. He responds it was a last ditch effort to get her to remember everything--it was difficult to do by himself so he had some help. At this, he points to some other figures nearby. Elluka Clockworker's apprentices.

Michaela and Gumillia. They had been watching over her the entire time she was Nemesis. She speaks to Michaela first, realizing she was the will of the forest that spoke to her back then. Michaela asks how it went with Lich, but Nemesis never met him. Though, she's finally remembered Michaela's connection to him (and to be a little wary of him).

Then she goes to speak to Gumillia, who is wearing the Demon of Wrath mask on her face. She has realized that Gumillia sent Seth to watch over her. Gumillia explains that she couldn't leave the Hellish Yard. Though in the end Seth didn't really do what he was supposed to. Seth then pipes up from the mask, asserting he did as he promised--he made sure Nemesis didn't die. Which is true. She agrees, thanking him.

He says he has a connection to her from long ago. But with this, the two of them are even. She says that she should be the one who says that, and suggests they stop their quarreling now.

Michaela starts laughing. When asked what's so funny, she hands over a mirror.

[Here is a spread of Nemesis looking back to see Allen, Michaela, and Gumillia in her Master of the Hellish Yard outfit, looking over to her.]

Michaela says she and Gumillia look like they're twins. Looking in the mirror, she realizes that she looks like Nemesis. Her body and soul have become one once more.

Nemesis asks why she and Gumillia look alike, and Allen responds that lots of things like that were happening in the world before it was destroyed. If they want an answer, their best bet is to ask the one who made the rules of the world himself. Sickle.

Sickle is in the heavenly yard. They can go up there, but Allen isn't sure if they'll be able to come down again. And for the time being there are things he wants to do yet in the world. There are mysteries left that he wants to solve, and someone he wants to see. First though, he suggests they go to Evils Theater.

It's still standing even after the world burned. He asks if she's coming along, before briefly wondering what they should call her now. She says she doesn't care which--Levia, Elluka, or Nemesis, all of them are her. Michaela thinks Levia, Gumillia says Elluka, and Seth argues that right now she's Nemesis.

She tells Allen she'll go. As long as it kills time.

She asks him what his final goal is, with the world destroyed.

He says it's to save the world.

Predicting Spinnerette Arcs 26-35

Everyone except very delusional people know that Spinnerette is going downhill. With it’s current asinine plots, the fact the whole comic seemed to lose it’s serious plot-related grasp after Colonel Class arc, and it’s stupid awful artstyle drawn by a guy who keeps altering the designs of characters - let’s call him P. C. Dimbleby - and actual script calls for chibi faces, things aren’t honestly looking good for the Asylum version of Empowered. But hey, Kraw’s printing money with merch involving scantily clad protagonists and porn comics that are canon so nothing’s gonna be a problem for him!

With that said, it’s pretty easy to call what he has in his mind next, and here i will predict the plot of every issue from 26 to 35. Let’s begin.

Issue 26: The Return Of Jara

It’s revealed that before Spinny, Mecha Maid dated a man who was abusive towards her and made her become a lesbian. The said man is now working in the same science lab place as Heather, and the man titled Jara - who looks like a Biff Tannen with classic P.C. Dimbleby hooknose, by pure accident runs into her. Jara grows fondness for Spinny, thinking she is single. After several irritating catcalls, Heather wants to bring Jara to comfort HER love. Heather forgets that secret identities are a thing that must be protected, and in her futile ALS form, she comes to see Jara again. Jara calls her buzzwords which are meant to make audience angry, allowing Heather to transform into Spinny and beat the crap out of him. Mecha likes it for some reason and they get away with it, because turns out Jara had been stealing scientific tools from the lab in order to make moonshine and the cops think Spinny was beating him up for that reason. Their relationship “develops” and Kraw wants to inform you he is not like most guys and he is single ladies.

Issue 27: Colonel Glass 2: Part 1

North Korea has done some nuclear tests, which pisses off America and it’s anti-superhero and anti-fun and anti-allthingsKrawlikes president Meanie D. T. Incompetent. He teams up with prime minister of Canada, who is a topical Rob Ford parody despite the fact dude died several years ago, in order to use the “superity” from the local superheroes to recreate Cherenkov-Kirby Reactor or something which could wipe N.K. off the map. However, the superheroes know MORE THAN THAT, Benjamin Franklin returns to reveal the nuclear tests are actually massive attacks performed by Colonel Glass 2. Turns out N.K. had a bodyclone of Colonel Glass in case he would die in his trip, which he did. Benjamin also tells the heroes to watch out for government who are trying to do something with “superity”, we get exposition that the first superhero that did CK reactor basically created superheroism by using his blood to create the reactor, which gave birth to “superity”, more “superity” they have, the stronger they are and so far CK Reactor is the only one that can infect being with “superity” but governments all around the world are looking for other ways to make it. Because governments are hypocrites, says Kraw as he pats himself in the back and thinks he’s about to create the next Brave New World. Superheroes get canadian superfucks to help them because of course they do.

We cut to Colonel Glass 2 doing shit, turns out he shares the memories of Colonel Glass 1, including the memories from before he died? and develops perverse fondness for Mecha Maid, he starts flying towards America as all glass around the world go haywire. Spinny, Mecha Maid, Tiger, London, Minerva, Katt O Nine Tails and Green Gable try to sneak with their supercar when Sergeant Generic notices them, he sends Noob Saibot after them. Meanie D.T. Incompetent finds out about the escapees and proceeds to BOMB THEM AND NOT CARE ABOUT CASUALTIES because that’s how politicians in real life work. Cliffhanger.

Issue 28: Colonel Glass 2: Part 2

Spinny and rest of superheroes survive the attacks and reach the Atlantic, where they bump into a weird group of rejects with really one sided personalities, one is a character meant to point out the flaws of Netflix series Daredevil which Kraw seriously thinks he could write better, other one is a friendly zombie girl and another is a quirky scene girl who licks things and a wacky running gag is that Mecha Maid finds her creepy. They reveal they are South Korean Superheroes who were almost killed by Original Colonel Glass and set up a base in the atlantic. They were before experimented with CK Reactor and therefore have more “superity” than any other superhero on the planet besides Colonel Glass 2. Meanwhile President Incompetent decides to start a war against the entire continent of Asia, considering them all “anime-watching rice eaters who did Pearl Harbour” because Kraw never puts stereotypes in his own characters. American War Fleet flies past the superfucks, and canadians and Tiger stay in the base while the SK heroes and Spinny and Mecha Maid go after them. They all get destroyed in one hit by Colonel Glass 2. Spinny, Mecha Maid and SK heroes somehow survive the blast but turns out it was INTENTIONAL as Colonel Glass 2 finds Mecha Maid to torture her. Spinny is mad. Cliffhanger.

Issue 29: Colonel Glass 2: Part 3

President Meanie D.T. Incompetent has HAD ENOUGH and demands Sergeant Generic to call some abnormal guy to help them set up the CK Reactor Weapon properly that can wipe out CG2. Because world is small, Generic calls Dr. Universe, who agrees to let past be past in face of common threat, but also wants to manipulate them into following their objectivist goals. Mecha Maid wakes up in a dark room, where she gets fed memories and other shit, that Kraw wants you to think resembles sexual harassment geddit Kraw knows your feelings Kraw understands Kraw is a friend. Bullshit happens as Spinny’s anger manifests inside him and transforms him into a giant golden spider creature, one of the SK Superfucks say “this is like Dragon Ball Z episode” and at that point you know where this is fucking going. Spinny tears inside Glass’s base conveniently and a long climactic fight ensues, ending with Glass 2 dying by thermite again. Spinny becomes normal again and wakes up in the SK fleet, where Mecha Maid is mad at her for once again murdering someone. Mecha then cries it was her own fault and crying crying crying. Dr. Universe fools Meanie D.T. Incompetent as he calls Super MILF and Greta Gravity to sex him out of working on the weapons! Ha ha! This is a serious comic!

Issue 30: Boring Prequel

This story is a prequel to the first ever case of “Superity”, which takes place in Wild West, in yet another stupid unimaginative alternate universe twist, Buffalo Bill was a superhero, and from there it’s shown how first CK Reactor was made, but the first superhero whose name i forgot is warned of “them”, who are “they”? You’ll find out soon enough.

Issue 31: Critical Analysis

Spinny has returned home with a bad feeling, and she’s got strange aches all over her body. Turns out the Friendly Zombie Girl is there to investigate upon Spinny as she reveals to her both of them are “Stanisian”, people who are full of “superity” which is just Stanisian blood, and are unable to toggle their powers off. Spinny somehow became stanisian by CK Reactor because before stanisians were only by birth only which intrigues the zombie girl. She reveals what happened in the last arc was her exposing her “Ultra Stanisian Power” which only comes into effect over strong stress. Heather also finds out Stanisians never die, as SK zombie girl was the first child of Genghis Khan. Stanisians have existed since humanity’s beginning, but only when CK Reactor was created, humans could get “superity” AKA Stanisian blood too. The reason most humans don’t know about them is because they’re the mortal enemy of “Enlightened”, perfect humans who have ability to manipulate people and are omnipotent but don’t have superpowers, Enlightened have controlled the world by their secret society - you guessed it - the Illuminati since the old times in order to wipe out Stanisians but they always fail.

First thing Spinny realizes after all of this is that, she can cure Mecha Maid by transforming her into Stanisian! Friendly Zombie Girl advices this is not a good idea because exposing a human to too much superity could kill them, and types like Heather are a rarity. Spinny can’t convince Mecha though, who just gets madder so Spinny asks help from Universe. Universe reveals he knew about Stanisians all along and he constructed CK Reactor so that he could in fact turn more people into them so that the Illuminati could be taken down. It’s revealed Ayn Rand was against the Illuminati and the infamy of the book is a pop culture propaganda. What. They begin working on it. Cliffhanger.

Issue 32: The Lesbian Torment

Adrastea and Sara NIcole meet on same jailcell, they fall in love because Sara Nicole hasn’t eaten her anti-gay bagels. Their relationship is meant to be “different” as in, “it’s same shit as Mecha’s and Spinny’s relationship, except they’re both more aggressive”. They fool the guards by making out and escape.

Issue 33: Critical Analysis Part 2:

Dr. Universe takes a bit of blood from Friendly Zombie Girl as she has finished the POCKET SIZED CK REACTOR. Then government rushes in with Sergeant Generic on helm and Universe as well as Spinny get arrested. They’re taken in front of Illuminati, who are ready to literally wipe them out of existence because oh cool Kraw read 1984 just now. Friendly Zombie Girl wasn’t arrested and Greta takes her to bite Mecha Maid, curing her by all of her fucking problems and she becomes Ultra Stanisian, saving Spinny and Universe. Illuminati finds out THE INFESTATION IS SPREADING. At this point it’s also revealed N.K. Government is actually propaganda’d as shitty dictator state because they refused to join the New World Order and is the only state ran by Stanisians.

Issue 34: War Of Minds

A kickstarted exclusive story focusing on SK Superheroes, with Daredevil potshotter dating the other. Boring.

Issue 35: Revenge of Revenge

Life has become harder for Spinny to keep double identities when Sara Nicole and Adrastea butt in to cause chaos. Adrastea wants to nuke science facilities while Sara Nicole wants everyone to like her. They nag like an arguing couple, isn’t that funny. It ends with Mecha Maid dying as Spinny cries, when she wakes up to find out it has all been a drug-induced dream and she remembers when she went to comfort Mecha Maid after Colonel Glass Arc, she threw Heather off the bed and beat the ever-living shit out of her, before she got a massive heart attack and passed away, with her last words being “I wish i never met you.” Heather wants to go back into these dreams when she finds out she’s been carried to hospital, where Sahira states that she’s been diagnozed with a rare variation of ALS that is contagious. Haw haw.
