Back to reality, the man by the name of Mick, gets thrown from the head of Carmen, like it was some kind of ghost who left the soul of a body. The throwing was so hard, the man fell on the ground and hit the door of the office. He gets up onto his feet, he looks at Carmen, who is all tied up and Navylian, the leader of Team 4, is sitting next to the body of the carman, who is still unconscious for the next hour.

Navylian gets up from his chair, he walks toward Mick, and asks him if he is alright.

"Guess I have kind of lost touch with fighting," says Mick to Navylian, as he gets up with the help of Navylian. "The beast got a good hit that will make Carmen's challenge easier."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Their green veins are vital for them to regenerate. Cutting their veins means a slow regeneration of these beasts." he looked at Carmen. "She can handle it from here. When the time comes, call me to lock the spirit of that bastard and keep the powers in his body."

"I will," says Navylian to Mick.

For the next nine days, nothing interesting in particular happened to Carmen and to the other members of Team 4. But then again, for them, nothing particular is classified as hunting down zombies on the Cambridge campus, and not those "zombies" from college, the ones depicted either in African folklore or the ones in movies. They have done some missions, but Carmen did not participate in any of them because she was put under the care of Mick, who was training her in the ways of fighting the monster inside of her brain who will live for the next 100 years and he is giving his super abilities to her.

The mission number on board has been thrown back to zero as it is happening every 20th date of the month. And in those nine days, on the date of twenty-twenty missions so far, these twenty missions were mostly to kill fugitive individuals from the Second Dimension and capture them, then send them to the second dimension where their fates will be decided.

Kyle, being on the front of the scoreboard, did about nine missions, while Lucian has done only seven missions, Louis has completed two missions, Alexia only one mission, and the rest of one mission was made by Navylian, and this mission he did was yesterday when he had to exterminate a thug who snatched pictures of their base. The thug got eliminated by Navylian, but in a non-violet way. The Mage threw the thug into the second dimension, where he was most likely eaten alive by humongous birds like eagles.

Anyway, now, because the time of the battle has come, Carmen, together with the rest of her Team 4 members, and Mick, are in the interior of the prison floor, where Carmen is tied up on a chair with silver chains and next to her is Mick, who is sitting on a lotus position and he looks at Carmen, as she is accepting the fate of hers.

"Are you ready for this?" asks Navylian to Carmen.

"Yes," responds Carmen, who is definitely ready to fight the inner beast of hers. She looks over to Mick, who is holding a wooden puppet in his left hand.

"Remember what I thought of you in the past?" asked Mick to Carmen.

Carmen shook in approval to Mick, which was enough to make him feel a little better than he is now. The girl remembers how Mick has taught her everything she needs to know in order to fight inside her head with the Vewolf beast. She trained her skills in fighting, such as normal combat brawls that can be used in street fighting, helped her to create a mind weapon such as a spear, her favourite weapon, to have the upper hand in that fight, and had a very few special skills that could help her in this fight.

"Remember. When the beast shows the first signs of exhaustion and is on the verge of dying, you approach it, and you have to touch the forehead of the beast and say the incantation. Do you remember the incantation, right?"

"Sombrus mayaka aha yalak ldaf yjiui uiuiu alhaman!" says Carmen in a weird accent as she said that which to normal individuals from the first dimension sounds gibberish. But for the second-dimension beasts, this is an instant to throw away the bad influence of the individuals who are like Carmen, half-and-half, from the second dimension.

"Good. Now go. And be careful." says Mick to Carmen, who is already closing her eyes and goes inside of her head, doing the same meditation technique she has done over and over again to the training of Mick.

Inside a dark room, a body materializes inside of this darkness. In one of his left hands, holding a spear that doesn't resemble the one from real life made of metal and wood. It is one that has a very bright white colour that can blind anyone close to it. The body of the person who materialized into this room, is revealed to be Carmen, because of her body shape, which represents a fat person. After her materialization is completed, Carmen notices she is wearing some kind of armour like the Romans used in the time of the Roman Empire.

When Carmen got thrown into her mind, she was taught by Mick about the interior of her mind. She was there for a while, but she wasn't there for the last eleven days because of the attack Vewolf suffered and the gates were suddenly "closed". But now, that she is back inside of her mind, she notices the huge sphere that shines a bright colour and which lights almost the entire room.

"So, you have come." says a spirit leaving the sphere, and transforming into the normal Vewolf was before he became a parasite of Carmen. "Guess you are prepared."

"I am." says Carmen, holding the spear with the piercing part up.

"You will be able to defeat me, human?" asks the Vewolf, showing a grin to Carmen.

"Maybe I am." says Carmen, aiming her spear at the Vewolf, who was getting prepared to launch a jumping attack on her.

The girl notices how the damaged zones of the sprit have already regenerated from the last clash it had with Mick, which was exactly nine days ago. Now the girl, being thought of a lot in these past days by Mick and by their group members, is ready to put an end to the spirit who has opened her eyes to a whole new world.

They looked at each other for a solid five seconds, then, Vewolf was the first identity to make the first attack.

Meanwhile, outside of the mind of Carmen, back onto the prison cell floor, the whole team is watching her whole body, on which is moving her head in all directions while her eyes are shut. The hobo man sits next to her on the chair, holding the same toy he brought with him. The man didn't pay any attention to Carmen's moving at a very fast speed, to the left and to the right. He looks at her, prepared to do his task of sealing off the beast.

Alexia, Navylian and Lucian aren't nervous about this, unlike Louis and Kyle, it's the first time for them to see how a seeing Vewolf is going to be thrown from the body of Carmen.

A process like this can happen to any spirit, but to things like werewolves, vampires, zombies etc., is a whole different process. And that process does look like trying to take away a spirit or a ghost from a human body, but this thing needs to be done by the real owner of the "body".

" is she alright?" asks Kyle to his leader.

"She is fine." assures Navylian to Kyle.

Navylian is looking at the hobo man, then at the body of Carmen, who continues to move her head like he had just a good dose of drugs, and she has started to yell and roar as she moves her head in all directions at a faster speed.

"Mick." says Navylian.

"The girl is fine," says Mick, without looking at Navylian.
