Everyone but Ashlyn and Cassandra is gathered in the cafeteria while Jacob points at the world map chart with a giant pentagram drawn on it.

Yuji: "...I don't get it what are we looking at?"

Jacob: "Seriously?!"

Jizzabelle: "Perhaps you could...I don't know, explain."

Jacob: "Look, from France to Egypt, to Ukraine, Algeria, to Poland?"

Yuji: "I'm still not following..."

Jacob: "It all connects into one big pentagram. Do you know what that means? we're not just dealing with Holly, we're dealing with a whole ass cult on our hands. And they're using this as one big warning to us."

Mallory: "How are you so sure this is for us?"

Jacob: "Who else is trying to stop whatever the hell she's doing? They're trying to scare by forming this out...and maybe as some kind of distraction."

N is sitting at a nearby cafeteria table.

N: "Okay genius, then why would they make this giant ass symbol on the other side of the world?"

Jacob: "That's what I'm still trying to figure out...Hestia is in the middle of Hudson Bay Canada...yet it formed around the Mediterranean Sea."

Banishment appears behind Jacob without a sound.

Banishment: "What if there is something there?"

Jacob jumps in fear and then falls to the floor.

Jacob: "Jesus Christ, we gotta put a bell on this motherfucker...but anyway, you were saying?"

Banishment grabs the world map and spreads it along the table as everyone but N gathers around.

Banishment: "I'm thinking that this isn't a distraction, but an attempt."

Jacob: "An attempt at what?"

Banishment: "Why would they be using such an obvious sign as a distraction? it seems so simple and easy to crack."

Banishment places his finger on the Mediterranean Sea.

Banishment: "I think there's something in the Mediterranean Sea that they're seeking."

Jizzabelle: "Okay, assuming that you're right about this supposed wanting to seek something in this sea, what would even be worth searching? especially in these struggling times?"

Banishment: "Well, considering that they're some sort of cult, would they want to be worshipping some kind of god? or at least some type of unique religion."

Jacob: "So what you're saying is-"

Banishment: "They're using a giant body of water to summon some kind of being...whether that be an omen or some other new threat. And it could either be that they've already summoned this being that they've left their mark, or they're in the process of summoning this creature."

Yuji: "Well? what are we waiting for? let's stop them!"

Banishment: "Jacob?"

Banishment turns around to listen to Jacob's response but Jacob from the spot he was sitting to be gone.

Banishment: "Looks like he's already gone out to check."

N raises his head to see a shadowy figure with decaying wings standing in front of him.

Deezle: "Oh man, just wait till I break out of that stupid piece of steel in your hand. I can already imagine it."

Deezle forms a finger gun and then points at everyone in the cafeteria.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Deezle: "I'm gonna kill everyone here, kill that white-haired fucker that keeps me in here, then I'm gonna take down Synder from the inside out."

N: "Do you have anything to do?"

Deezle: "Sorry you little emo shit, but until I break out of here and take your shit, you're stuck with me!"

N: "You could go ahead and kill everyone around here but there's no way in hell I'm letting you order me around."

Deezle: "What are you gonna do? scare me with your cut wrist? HAHAHAHA"

N: "Heh, you act all tough but as far I'm concerned, it looks like you're the one trapped, so logically speaking...wouldn't that make you my-"

Deezle appears right in front of N's face.

Deezle: "Finish your sentence, I. Fucking. DARE YOU!"

N: "It's like you said, you can't really do anything while you're stuck in this stupid piece of steel."

Deezle: "Just you wait, asshole."

Deezle dissipates into the blade of the sword.

Deezle: "Just you fucking wait."

N returns back to real-time to Banishment shrugging his shoulder.

Banishment: "Are you alright? You suddenly fell asleep so I was wondering."

N stands up and sheathes his katana into his back.

N: "Don't worry about it."

N walks away and turns to the hallway to the right.

Mallory: "What's his problem? I mean, I know he got his ass kicked 3 times but..."

Jizzabelle: "It's best to leave him alone, he never really was one for social standing, if I were to call it."

Yuji: "Yeah, he can be a bit monotone sometimes, but I'm sure he'll come around!"

Mallory: "I doubt it, me personally."

N is standing beside the entrance next to the cafeteria, listening in on everyone.

N looks at his hand as it stays perfectly still.

N: "Sigh...whatever."

N walks away and sits on the stairs.

Jacob comes out of a rift and flies over the Mediterranean Sea.

Jacob's eyes turn blue as he hears Banishment's voice.

Banishment: "Anything strange? Mr. straightforward?"

Jacob: "Sorry, I just really wanted to confirm, and so far I don't really see anything out of the-"

Banishment: "Jacob?"

Jacob's eyes widen as he sees a gigantic hole in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.

Jacob: "Oh fuck...we're too late."

Jacob comes back to everyone through a rift.

Mallory: "So? What did you find?"

Jacob snaps his fingers as everyone sees a vision of a giant hole in the Mediterranean Sea.

Jizzabelle: "Oh dear..."

Yuji: "Does that mean?"

Jacob: "Those bastards already summoned...whatever the hell was in that ocean."

Mallory: "Well?! can't you find them or something with your magical eye thingy?"

Jacob: "Me and Banshee both tried that already but we still couldn't find anything, not even a hair of where they could be."

Yuji SLAMS his hands onto the cafeteria table.

Yuji: "THAT'S IT!"

Jacob: "Care to share, enthusiast?"

Yuji: "BAIT!"

Mallory: "Did your mind melt as soon as you hurt your hands? what're you tryna say?"

Yuji: "What I'm trying to say is we use bait."

Jacob: "As in..."

Yuji: "We have someone go out there and try act like bait for them, then when they fall for it, we get in there and we kick their butts!"

Jacob: "This could work but she already knows we're on her tail. How would any of us get in there without any suspicions?"

Yuji: "We could make it look like an offering, something that would like we give up..."

Jacob: "And you're confident this will work?"

Jizzabelle: "Well, it's not like we have any other plans do we?"

Banishment: "Sadly, no. This is honestly the best chance that we've got."

Jacob: "Question is...who's gonna do it? Mallory's gotta stay here with Banishment to hold down the fort."

N: "Sigh...hey I just wanna say-"

Everyone stares at N as he enters the cafeteria.

N: "What?"

N is wearing a plastic bag wrapped around his head with his clothes replaced with only a dirty and torn shirt and shorts with a piece of paper with writing spelled out "We give up. Here's an offering for surrender."

Everyone is watching in the cafeteria with their eyes turned blue watching this happen.

N: (I'm starting to think god or whoever is up there wants me to die.)

Jacob: "And now? we wait..."

A red hooded figure comes out of a rift.

Mallory: "It's working?"

Jacob: "We got 'em"

The red hooded figure inspects N.

Hood: "Hmm...an offering? gonna need to confirm this to our lord...hm?"

The red-hooded figure turns their head to the right to see a giant zombie mantis coming out of the ground.

The giant mantis attempts to swing its right scythe as the red-hooded figure points a finger gun.

Hood: "Die."

The zombie mantis' head EXPLODES as its body twitches until rotting then bursting into dust.

Jacob: "That was...my move....but how? only the Bento family has this ability! unless...was that all a lie?"

The red hooded figure puts N on their shoulder and then opens a red rift and jumps into it with N still on their shoulder.

N: (Where the hell?)

Jizzabelle: "Where did they go?!"

Jacob: "I've lost him?! SHIT!!"

The red hooded figure comes out of their red rift and puts N in a cage with a little girl with black hair, a grey torn-up shirt, and bandages covering her eye.

N: "The hell's going on?"

The red-hooded figure climbs the stairs into Holly wearing her red hood with the red sun with an eye tattoo marked on the tip of the hood.

Hood: "I have found another subject, my lord."

Holly: "...keep him in the cage for now...the next feeding shall begin soon."

N is listening in on the conversation in his cage with the little girl nearby.

N: "Feeding? What the fuck are you feeding?"

The little girl stands up and scratches a hole into N's plastic bag.

N looks around to see a giant altar with pillars around holding the ceiling, skulls stuck inside of holes in the walls with hundreds of red hooded figures facing forward toward Holly's throne formed out of bones.

Holly: "May the next feeding commence!"

Holly pulls out her pinky finger and holds it up to the ceiling as everyone does it in sync.

N: "What have I gotten into this time?"

Ep 24-End.
