Episode 37: THE GREAT RETURNS

Harry held his sword tight, trying to fight despite the enemy greatly outnumbering them. He yelled in desperation and attacked with all his might. But they weren't that strong to fight a hundred army. So to help him cope up with his blind spots, he brought in Foxxy(Fae) with him.

Red uses his advance speed matched with his mastery of his scythe, he manages to take on four enemies at once and one could tell that he was much stronger than before, and even so, he still needs Tara and Vixen to watch his back.

Humility attacks using his heavy whip, with claw like parts on its tips. It is great for close and long ranged combats, but not enough to defeat them all as well. He still needs

While the fight between Monica and Nhairon seems unending, it seems as if Monica still has the upper hand due to some of her most powerful jinxis, helping her at her every attack.

Nhairon, even though strong and determined, knew that he isn't enough to defeat her, especially with her mastery of weapons and predictions of where his hits would fall. As it turns out, the daughter of Death sure was smart.

HUMILITY: Well, we can't give up now!

They were all exhausted, and didn't even rest for a bit.

Their flares that they managed to store for months were slowly draining away from them.

And in a swift movement, Jinko managed to trap Red.

JINKO: Lost to me, like the last time.

He cockily grins while dragging Red to the sky.

Red tries to free himself, but his grip was too tight.

RED: Damn you!

Jinko was about to tear him there when he heard a womanly voice call out from the grounds.

GABBY: STOP!!!

Jinko felt amazed.

JINKO: The human girl...is here?

He lets go of Red causually, and Red falls off from the sky, he couldn't use his teleporting ability because of the lack of flare.

But Vixen was quick to get him.

Jinko together with his army stopped at the sight they saw.

Standing in the center, was Gabby, and behind her, was a powerful entity they never saw before.

The White Prince walked up in front of them. And beheld his face.

His long white hair brushes off with the wind, and his sharp looking yellow eyes shimmer in the moonlight.

DELTHA: Surrender now, or suffer consequences.

Monica was stubborn. While Jinko felt hesitant.

JINKO: We should go. Retreat. He's way too out of our league.

MONICA: Jinko. I came here to test my abilities, this isn't about your Jane anymore. This is about me, ascending to the heavens. Killing every powerful beings one by one.

JINKO: Think it through! You're going to kill us all!

MONICA: Then leave! And when you do, remember, you are no longer one of us! Leave!

Jinko, hurt and angry, left the scene. But it will not be the last time he plant revenge.

Deltha gives her a FINAL warning. But she didn't listen.

She tried to fight the great Prince, but her cockiness and confidence were gone to waste as Deltha easily put her to place.

She falls. But still stoods up.

The same thing happened over and over. That eventually, she lost power.

In great desperation, all who remained of her army, were gathered around her.

She sucked out all their flares and didn't even mind killing them all.

DELTHA: How dare you?

MONICA: Nothing matters more than my victory.

Deltha felt disgusted. Monica teleported and grabbed the Prince from behind, flying him up to the sky. Then in a few blows, Monica who was busily showing off her skills, now fell from the sky, disappointed and confused.

She gasps and was slowly losing all her energy.

The Prince was slowly coming to her way, holding a ball of light she knew would finish her off.

GABBY: Are you sure it has to be this way?

DELTHA: Don't you want to kill her?

GABBY: Won't she change?

Gabby's kind words made Monica sit up, and take a look at her. She recognized her. Her soul.

MONICA: Agatha?

GABBY: Huh? No. It's Gabby.

RED: Don't talk to her! She's evil!

GABBY: Isn't there goodness in everyone?

RED: She 's a lunatic! SHE F*CKING TRIED TO KILL US!

HUMILITY: Whoah, Red calm down. Watch your language too.

GABBY: Can't we punish her to be good?

DELTHA: Don't be too kind.

GABBY: But, she is too weak.

DELTHA: We need to end her while we still have a chance.

GABBY: But...

MONICA: Agatha...I mean Gabby. Thank you.

Gabby looks at her and felt guilty.

MONICA: It's okay. I feel like I can't change who I am anyways. It's better to end me now.

GABBY: You...you won't change? But...everyone can...why can't you?

Monica smiles and teleports in front of her face.

Deltha thought she was going to hurt her so he quickly finished her up from behind as she try to reach for Gabby's face.

Monica was only able to touch her red hair. She smiles softly.

MONICA: You're a kind...kind girl...kinder than my sisters.

Tears fell down from her eyes as she wonders why Gabby sees goodness in everyone.

She slowly evaporates.

They won. And...

Gabby still couldn't understand, but she felt like she could have been capable of changing.

Its just that she didn't chose to change...and live knowing she lost.

She wonders what could have been her story.

...

Once upon a time, Death fell in love with a woman. He shifted into a human to court her. Eventually, she too, fell in love with him. They made love and had 5 daughters. Monica, Rebecca, Lauraisia, Teresa, and Sirena. All beautiful girls with wavy brown hair and eyes. The woman, having found out that he wasn't what she thought he was, neglected her five daughters and drowned them to death, believing they were cursed. Their bodies decomposed and their hair drained of color now turned grayish.

Death, angered and hurt punished their mother to turn into a slug. He then had a hundred of ants to eat her, slowly and painfully.

Loving his daughters so much, he made them spirits that will help him with his work.

Death's daughters roam the earth. But Monica wanted to have her own path.

She would occasionally break her father 's laws of Death and play ruckus with the mortals.

Her father, wanting to teach her a lesson, turned her into a black cat for a week.

Monica never felt that much pain and hunger before. But Agatha, who saw the weak shiverring cat rescued her from the rain.

She eventually felt loved like never before.

That is why when Agatha was hanged, she couldn't help but take REVENGE.

Her actions is why Death, himself threw her from his chambers all on her own.

She lost half her power and must regain them again.

But now she smell the scent of her sisters. She knew too well that her end is here.

She went to touch Agatha one more time as a thank you, then willingly went with her sisters.

Monica, the Queen...reigns no more now that she joins them.
