They emerged triumphant, rescuing the entire town from the relentless threat of the imperishables, leaving no survivors in their wake. The resilient people of Aihandrui embraced the immortal human as their guardian, extending their gratitude for his role in safeguarding their community. Together with Emma and her companions, he devoted himself to the arduous task of rebuilding their ravaged homeland.
As the town gradually regained its vitality, a pivotal moment unfolded in a quiet conversation. John Maxwell, with a curious glint in his eyes, posed the question that lingered in the air, "Where would you go from here?"
In response, Emma, her determination unwavering, uttered with purpose, "To find the guardian."
"I may not know who that is, but I'm confident you'll discover them," John declared with a warm smile. He turned to Dante, extending a hand in camaraderie. "I'll be seeing you, my friend," he affirmed, sealing their farewell with a firm handshake.
Embarking on their quest for the elusive guardian, the group departed Aihandrui, guided by the mystical compass. Unbeknownst to them, an enigmatic observer tracked their every move from the shadows.
As night descended, their journey reached an impasse, prompting a unanimous decision to seek refuge in the heart of the woods. With no shelter in sight, Karl Carl settled for a peaceful slumber at one end, while Emma, resolute and watchful, assumed the role of the nocturnal sentinel. Grace, insisting on Emma resting, persuaded her, and Emma reclined for a well-deserved rest as Grace and Dante took charge of the night watch. A crackling fire emerged, casting dancing shadows on the surrounding trees.
In the flickering glow, Grace and Dante found a quiet moment for their burgeoning connection, while Emma, succumbing to the weariness of the day, finally rested. The woods embraced them with a hushed symphony, concealing the secrets of the night and the destiny that awaited at the end of their quest.
In the sacred realm of Wicca Sabbat, the coven of witches stood united and fortified, prepared to confront the ominous threat posed by the Sisters of the Dark Han.
Sometime later, as Emma lay in restful slumber, an ethereal connection stirred within her dreams. Whispers, soft and beckoning, reached out to her astral form. Intrigued, she followed the spectral voices, guided to a surreal place bathed in radiant light.
"Fugi!" Emma exclaimed joyfully, rushing to embrace her ethereal companion. Their warm reunion unfolded amidst the mystical glow.
"Emma, there's trouble," Fuji urgently conveyed. "The witches in Sabbat require your aid. The Sisters of the Dark Han are orchestrating an attack, using it as a cunning diversion to target the Chosen One."
"Peggy," Emma whispered, a name laden with concern.
"Yes," Fuji affirmed. "They're plotting something significant, Emma. Intent on leveraging what is dearest to the Chosen One against her, the dark sisters are poised to strike, endangering every descendant of the chosen, including you."
Emma, startled by the revelation of her newfound responsibility, couldn't shake the memory of Sharlene and Charlie's capture, linking it to the Imperishables who had aligned themselves with supernatural forces. Amidst her conversation with Fuji, she shared the disconcerting news about Veronica, a vital piece in the intricate puzzle.
As the dialogue unfolded, a sudden intrusion shattered the ethereal connection. A pillar of fire materialized, engulfing Fuji's astral form and revealing Veronica, a formidable presence that struck fear into Emma's heart. The two women locked eyes, a tense silence hanging between them.
"You carry the blood of our mother," Veronica declared with an air of authority. "She's your progenitor, and yet you defy her will. You possess powers never meant to be yours."
Perplexed, Emma questioned, "Who is she?"
Veronica laughed ominously, drawing near and scrutinizing Emma like a primal creature. The air thickened with tension as the mysteries surrounding Emma's lineage and powers unraveled in the presence of this formidable being.
Veronica's chilling words echoed in the ethereal space as she continued to unveil the intricacies of Emma's power. "You're powerful because you possess her will," she asserted, her gaze penetrating Emma's very essence. "I feel mother's presence in and around you; her fire burns through you."
In a haunting revelation, Veronica confronted Emma with the stark reality of those she cared about, emphasizing the looming threat to their well-being. Emma, however, maintained a resolute gaze, refusing to succumb to fear.
As Veronica's words hung in the air, Emma's dream took a nightmarish turn. Witnessing her lifeless body on the ground, a sense of dread consumed her.
"You may run from your destiny, Emma," Veronica declared ominously, closing the distance between them in a blur. A sudden kiss, filled with dark intent, triggered convulsions within Emma's physical form. The distress reached Grace and Dante, awakening Karl Carl to the unfolding crisis.
Emma's body contorted in agony, her screams piercing the night, while her eyes widened to an unnatural extent, fixating on skies transformed into a ghastly shade of blood red.
"Oh no!" Karl Carl exclaimed, recognizing the ominous phenomenon. "It's the omega rage!" He urgently instructed the others to stand back and attempt to restrain Emma by any means necessary.
"Omega what now?" Grace questioned, bewildered. "She never told me about this."
Emma, transformed by the omega rage, rose with incredible speed. Her eyes, bathed in blood, revealed a feral nature as she growled, displaying elongated fangs and razor-sharp claws. Friend and foe blurred in her distorted perception.
"Emma, if you're there, please listen. You need to calm down and come back to us," Karl Carl implored with a gentle voice, attempting to reach through the chaos. "We're your friends."
In a violent burst, Emma, in her frenzied state, seized Karl's hand, breaking his arm without a moment's notice. Grace, horrified, urged Dante to intervene with his super speed.
"How do we stop her?" Grace pleaded, watching Dante's attempt to subdue Emma.
"Only with fairy's or witches' magic could calm her down," Karl explained, writhing in pain. "And we're not any of those. You need to assist Dante before he gets hurt." The dire situation unfolded, demanding swift and strategic action from Grace and Dante to save Emma from the grip of the uncontrollable omega rage.
Dante's efforts to calm Emma proved futile, and he found himself overpowered when attempting to use his telepathy. Emma retaliated with her own telepathic force, bringing him to his knees as blood seeped from his eyes and nostrils.
"Emma!" Grace screamed desperately. "Please stop, you're hurting him. We're your friends; please remember who you are."
Initially, it seemed as if Emma might respond, but suddenly, she snapped back into the clutches of her omega rage. Moving faster than Grace could follow, Emma seized her by the neck, lifting her off the ground. Dante's intervention provided a momentary respite as Emma collided with a tree. Yet, her control returned with a vengeance, and in a swift, heart-wrenching turn of events, she overpowered Dante, snapping his neck.
As Emma approached Grace, growling ominously, Grace pleaded desperately, "Please don't make me do this, Emma. I don't want to fight you. But you leave me no choice; it's for your own good. I love you."
In a stark transformation, Grace's eyes turned black, her claws sharpened, her face paled, and fangs protruded. The once-unlikely combatants engaged fiercely, the clash between friends echoing in the silent night, as Grace fought with all she had to subdue Emma's relentless onslaught. The battlefield now bore witness to a struggle that transcended the physical, a fight for the very essence of their bond and Emma's well-being.
While Karl, still on the ground treating himself, a mysterious hooded stranger passed by him, pausing briefly without making eye contact. "You're good, but your friends won't last without me," the stranger declared cryptically before heading straight to where Emma's friends were grappling with her.
Grace, determined to restrain Emma, climbed on top of her, but Emma's telekinesis effortlessly pushed her aside. With a furious roar, Emma's rampage continued, leaving Grace unconscious after hitting her head against a rock. As Dante regained consciousness, he hurriedly fixed himself, witnessing a peculiar being approaching Emma.
"Careful!" Dante warned. "She's strong and dangerous."
As Emma charged towards the stranger, a telekinetic force suspended her in midair. A fierce struggle ensued, but Emma found herself overpowered, eventually succumbing to the stranger's control through a conversion spell on her forehead, rendering her unconscious. Dante rushed to Grace, who had regained consciousness, and they, along with the hooded stranger, returned to Karl Carl's side.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Curiosity and confusion filled the air as Dante questioned the stranger's identity. With a dramatic reveal, the hooded figure unveiled herself as Liliana, leaving Grace astonished. "What are you doing here?" Grace inquired.
"Hi Bella! Hey, Dante," Liliana greeted, acknowledging their presence.
Karl Carl, still in the dark about Liliana, sought clarification. "Wait! What? I'm totally lost here. You know her, she knows you. Who are you?"
"This is Emma's sister," Grace explained.
Dante, ready to assist Karl Carl's recovery, was about to offer his blood when Liliana intervened. "Don't do that," she warned.
"Why?" Dante inquired, puzzled by Liliana's sudden intervention.
"You'll only make things worse or perhaps kill him," Liliana cautioned. "Supernatural blood is very unique and works in different ways. Fairies and witches don't need other supernaturals' blood to heal. Witches use spells, but not as fast as fairies, who have unique healing abilities along with healing spells. A supernatural's blood is of no use to them. Unlike shape-shifters, who can't drink any supernatural's blood for speed healing. They're more or less like humans with supernatural abilities; it might kill them or cause severe side effects unknown to them. Supernatural blood is dangerous to humans as well. Only vampires, hybrids, tribrids, Lycans, and wolves can share blood among themselves for speed healing. And it can also empower them for a short period of time." Liliana chanted magical words, mending Karl's injured hand with her mystical abilities.
"It should speed up your healing like that of an average human," Liliana informed Karl, who expressed his gratitude for her assistance.
As Liliana explained her reason for being there and the connection with Dante, Grace couldn't help but voice her lingering disappointment. "I don't think Emma would be happy to see you, Liliana. You left her when she needed you the most."
Liliana acknowledged her past actions. "I know... But I can't stay. Promise me, Bella, that you'll protect her. I knew you both to be more than just besties."
With those words, Liliana stood up. "Please keep my coming here a secret. When the time comes, I'll find you. I promise." She vanished with a smile, touching her pendant, leaving behind a pact of secrecy.
The next day, Emma woke with renewed strength, her memory of the previous day wiped away, only a slight headache remaining. Grace inquired about her well-being, and Emma humorously described feeling like her head was spinning like a carousel.
Noticing Karl's healing hand, Emma inquired, and he brushed it off, assuring her that he was fine. Planning their next move, Karl asked, "So where to now, Emma?"
"Wicca Sabbat," Emma declared, setting the course for their next destination.
"Why there?" Dante inquired, prompting Emma to recount the vivid dreams Fuji had shared and her encounter with Veronica in the dream realm. However, Emma had no recollection of the subsequent fight with her friends.
"If Fuji could pass a message to you, it means it's serious," Grace emphasized. Karl Carl chimed in, "And none of the descendants are safe. They'll be coming for us along with the remaining descendants of the chosen."
Dante expressed his shock, stating, "I never knew the Imperishables were planning all of this for ages."
Grace, concerned about their next steps, asked Emma, "If they're planning this as a diversion, Emma, what would you have us do?"
"We need to split up," Emma decided. "Karl, you go with Dante to Aougst town to check on Mrs. Lance, while Grace and I see what's happening at Wicca Sabbat." Emma placed her hand on Karl and Dante's shoulders, teleporting them away. As she reached for Grace's hand to vanish to Wicca Sabbat, an unseen force abruptly pulled Emma aside, causing the surrounding trees to shatter.
Sinister laughter echoed through the woods, and Emma struggled to identify the mysterious presence. Without warning, a strange being materialized and forcefully threw Grace aside like a ragdoll, vanishing simultaneously. Emma and Grace regained consciousness, standing amidst an unfamiliar scene.
The being reappeared, attempting another assault from behind, but Emma swiftly caught her, revealing the identity of the enigmatic figure.
"Rita!" Emma exclaimed in astonishment as the mysterious assailant revealed her identity. Roaring furiously, Rita turned invisible, launching a simultaneous attack on both Emma and Grace. Emma countered with a repelling spell to unveil Rita's invisibility, initiating a fierce battle.
Rita's fighting skills proved to be unique, relying on acrobatics and displaying unparalleled agility. Her strategic attacks challenged Emma and Grace, making the confrontation intense. As Rita moved with incredible speed, the two struggled to keep up with her.
"Now I see why she's unique, why both guardians are born of magic," Grace remarked. Rita, seemingly defeated as Emma thrust her hand through her chest, turned out to be an illusion. Realizing the deception, Emma noted, "She's trying to buy more time," and swiftly took off in flight, holding onto Grace.
On the other side, Dante and Karl arrived at the Lances', finding Mrs. Lance unharmed. They informed her of the unfolding situation, preparing for the challenges ahead.
Emma and Grace reached Wicca Sabbat, welcomed by Dorothy who was already aware of the impending situation. Peggy, with her escort, approached them, declaring, "It's time," pointing to the sky shrouded in darkness and resonating with thunder and lightning.
The witches assembled and erected a barrier, shielding themselves from the Imperishables. Meanwhile, darkness descended upon Aougst town. Various supernatural beings, including vampires, fairies, witches, hunters, Lycans, and wolves, converged toward the Lance. Curiosity drew the townspeople out to witness the mysterious events.
Beatrice came out as her daughter ran and hugged her. On the other side, Hannah Wise observed the dark clouds from her apartment. Meanwhile, in another location, Uncle Sam and his pack members all observed the foreboding sky. Karl, spying through the window, alerted the group, "They're coming."
Dante, revealing his fearsome fangs with eyes turned red, cautioned, "Go hide."
A cacophony of screams echoed throughout Aougst town as the Imperishables charged toward the Lances'. Dante and Karl, joined by other supernatural packs, fiercely battled against the approaching threat. Supernaturals from within the town rallied to protect Taylor Lance.
Rita Wood, leading the Imperishables, cut through supernaturals with ease. Dante engaged her in battle, but her unique prowess proved overwhelming. Karl stepped forward, and Rita, recognizing him as a descendant of the great Hathaway, effortlessly overpowered him with a telepathic push.
As Rita closed in on Taylor Lance, her fairy's blast barely scratched her. However, a well-aimed tranquilizer shot from a hunter subdued Taylor. An hybrid took Karl Carl, and the hunters seized Taylor Lance, leaving Aougst town in a state of defeat as the Imperishables achieved their sinister objective. The once-vibrant town now bore the scars of a supernatural conflict, with its residents left grappling with the aftermath of a devastating encounter.
In Wicca Sabbat, Veronica and Marcus Brian led the attack, demanding the release of Peggy Lance. However, the barriers held strong against Veronica's attempts to break through.
"Chosen one!" Veronica declared. "Come out peacefully, and we'll leave Wicca Sabbat unharmed. But if you don't surrender peacefully, we've other ways to make you."
"I'll go talk to them," Emma decided, and Peggy chose to accompany her. They approached the front barriers and engaged in a conversation with the Imperishables who were on the other side. Peggy was told by Emma to stand behind her for protection.
"If it isn't the prodigal daughter of our mother," Veronica remarked. Emma inquired, "Aside from the girl, why are you here?"
"You should be grateful mother sent us instead of herself," Veronica replied. "It was an act of mercy."
"Who is this mother you speak of?" Emma questioned. "And what are you planning?"
"Oh! In time, you'll know, Emma Stone. And none of our plans concern you," Veronica cryptically replied. "But for now, give us Peggy Lance, peacefully... For I know you're hiding behind her child," Veronica added, realizing Peggy's presence.
Peggy revealed herself, prompting Marcus to say, "That's it!" Peggy, confused and defiant, asked, "What do you want from me? What did I ever do to you?"
"Uhn! Boo boo bear," Veronica said, making a grumpy face. "Your existence was a flaw. You were never meant to be, but all that can be fixed now once you come with us and fulfill your destiny with our mother."
"But what if I don't want to?" Peggy challenged, setting the stage for a confrontation that went beyond physical barriers, delving into the very essence of Peggy's destiny and the Imperishables' mysterious plans.
"Then I'm afraid you'll have to make a hard choice between these two," Veronica declared, signaling Rita Wood, a hunter, and a werewolf who appeared with Karl and Taylor. "What's it going to be, Peggy?"
Peggy, filled with desperation, pleaded, "Mom! Please don't hurt her, don't hurt them... Let my mom go!"
Veronica responded, "Oh, Peggy! I don't have the power to do that... Only you can. But in the grand scheme of life, their sacrifice isn't worth more than your life. You, of all people, understand, Emma."
Rage boiled within Peggy as Emma tried to calm her down. Veronica and Marcus began retreating, sensing the tension rising.
"You can't do this... No, you can't take my mother away from me," Peggy angrily exclaimed.
"Peggy, please be calm. This is what they want," Emma urged. "We'll get your mom, we'll save them."
But Peggy, fueled by anger, unleashed a powerful blast that shattered the barriers, eliminating most of the Imperishables. Rita shielded Veronica and Marcus from the blast.
"Go!" Veronica ordered, making the remaining Imperishables charge towards Wicca Sabbat.
The witches of Wicca Sabbat countered, charging toward the Imperishables, setting the stage for a supernatural clash that would determine the fate of Peggy's mother and others caught in the midst of this mystical conflict.
"Peggy! You need to leave..." Emma began, but her sentence was cut short as Marcus pushed her aside, ready to engage in a fight. However, Veronica intervened, instructing Marcus to get Peggy. Marcus yielded to Rita, who stepped forward to stall Emma in a fierce battle. Despite Rita's skills, Emma fought vigorously and ultimately killed her.
Meanwhile, Marcus, attempting to capture Peggy, was blasted aside by Dorothy, who had come to Peggy's aid. Dorothy helped Peggy escape, but their path was obstructed by tribrids and werewolves. In a brutal turn of events, they devoured Dorothy in front of Peggy, who screamed for her to run. The dire consequences of their escape unfolded, leaving Peggy to grapple with the harrowing loss and the challenges that lay ahead.
In a heated battle, Marcus confronted Peggy, and Emma engaged him earnestly. As the skirmish unfolded, Grace spotted Peggy and rushed to her aid, attempting to guide her to safety while Emma battled with Marcus.
Veronica, observing Emma gaining the upper hand against Marcus, decided to intervene, turning the tide of the battle as she confronted Emma directly.
Meanwhile, Grace and Peggy faced a multitude of supernatural adversaries – Lycans, wolves, hunters, tribrids, and hybrids surrounded them, while vampire witches and fairies hovered above. Grace skillfully held her ground against the Imperishables, but Peggy, fighting alongside her, easily dispatched the vampire fairies and witches. However, Peggy was unexpectedly tranquilized by a hunter, and just as her mother attempted to intervene, she was tragically killed in the process. The sudden turn of events left Peggy vulnerable and Grace facing a dire situation with overwhelming adversaries.
The atmosphere in Wicca Sabbat turned brutal and chaotic. Peggy, barely conscious, witnessed her mother being killed by a werewolf, while Grace found herself overpowered by the Imperishables. In the midst of the chaos, Emma faced a fierce battle with Marcus and Veronica.
The situation took a tragic turn as Marcus thrust a hole through Emma's chest, and Veronica snapped her neck aside, leaving Emma lifeless on the ground. The Imperishables had achieved their dark objectives. Grace, in disbelief, witnessed her best friend lying dead on the ground, and Peggy's mother clung to life after the intense conflict.
In the aftermath of the devastating battle, Grace frantically searched for Emma's lifeless body, but it was nowhere to be found. Wicca Sabbat, once vibrant and lively, now lay in ruins, a stark testament to the toll exacted by the Imperishables on its inhabitants. The heavy toll of the war left the survivors grappling with loss, mourning the fallen, and contemplating the uncertain future that lay ahead. The once-mystical sanctuary now echoed with the somber aftermath of a supernatural conflict that had reshaped the destiny of Wicca Sabbat and its resilient residents.
