Prologue

Long Ago, the universe was created by our Gods. And with it our earth. Humans lived peacefully. But recently Humanity has angered the Gods with our sinful ways. So they rained down the apocalypse on us. Destroyed our Moon and destroyed our biggest cities. And with it they gave us the tools to repay them. It is now our Duty to appease them using these Tools. They are magical, you see.

A short dark-skinned Woman in a Black T-Shirt is talking to a Hooded Figure. In the Back a taller Man with a dirty Trench coat in is stealing Money from a Desk. The hooded Figure is focused on the Woman.

WOMAN: Wow that is so interesting. Tell me more!
CULTIST: Of course, Ms. Vivian.
*The Man finishes taking the money and closes the Desk loudly, surprising him. Vivian’s Eyes widen. The Cultist starts turning around to see what is happening.

VIVIAN: H-hey what is this thing? *She points at a golden heart in a glass case.
CULTIST: Ah, that is the heart of Fernius. We use it often during our Rituals. It has the power to Revive the dead you see.
VIVIAN: Aha aha. Very interesting.

*Evan comes in front of the Counter*
MAN: So, are we done checking this Place out?
VIVIAN: Yeah. Thank you for your time 😊
CULTIST: ah hold on let me get you something as a gift for Visiting us today. *He goes into a Hallway and into a door, after a few seconds he comes back.
CULTIST: Here *He gives Vivian an Olive Cloak.
When you come back you will have the fitting Garments to take part in our Sermons with us.
VIVIAN: Wow thanks. *She puts them on immediately and starts wearing them like a Cape.
(Alright, let’s go Evan.)
*Evan and Vivian leave. The cultist looks again at the Glass case. It is empty.

Outside Evan and Vivian are walking away from the Church, and as soon as they are out of sight of it they start running.
EVAN: Was it really necessary to take that thing?! I can’t think of anything that is more illegal than carrying that around.

VIVIAN: Reviving people can be pre-tty useful. And we can’t get in trouble if we don’t get caught.
EVAN: Yeah, yeah, sure. Anyway, are you gonna keep wearing that thing? You stand out like a fucking Poison Dart Frog.
VIVIAN: Maybe, I like the style. *Does a little twirl* Also if anyone catches me, I can just blame it on that idiot cult.
EVAN: We should probably avoid them. I think they will be pretty pissed.
VIVIAN: How much money did you get from them btw?
EVAN: Not that much. Seems like they don’t get much commission. Should still be enough to get food for a couple weeks though.
VIVIAN: Then what are we waiting for. Let’s get some Food already. Big girls hungry.

*Scene cut to a Bar where Evan and Vivian are eating cheap food. Evan changed his Look with some Glasses and an Oversized Hoodie.
EVAN: So, what’s the Plan for the Rest of the Day?
VIVIAN: Find some place to sleep. It’s gonna rain today apparently And I would prefer not to sleep in the Van today.
EVAN: Always raining out here…
VIVIAN: Hmm. *She looks around and sees a Girl with Bright Purple Hair, looking bored and slightly depressed. * Oh! Look at that!
EVAN: Huh? How does she help us?
VIVIAN: She doesn’t. But don’t you think she’s kind of cute?
EVAN: Oh god.
VIVIAN: I’m just saying that she-
EVAN: I’m not gonna sit here and listen to you pine over some random girl for an hour again. *Evan picks up Vivian out of her Chair, walks over to the Table the purple Girl is sitting at and sits her down next to her, to the surprise of the purple girl*
Purple Girl: Wha-
VIVIAN: Uhh… H-Hi…… You’re cute…
What’s your name?
JACKLIN: uhh. It’s Jacklin.
*Evan walks away and bumps into a buff guy in a tank top, obviously drunk and carrying several beers. Causing it to spill all over him. *
Drunk: Ey what the ‘ell is your problem.
EVAN: My Bad, I’m just gonna go.
Drunk: Like hell you are! Do you have any idea how much this cost?! *He starts swinging at Evan. Evan dodges by tilting his head back. People begin looking at them.
EVAN: Hey man, how about we take this outside?
Drunk: I’m gonna kill you, Dude!
EVAN: Guess not.
*A fight breaks out. The Drunk Guy not getting many hits in. After a Bit the guy falls to the floor, but not before grabbing the Zipper on Evans Hoodie and zipping it open. Revealing the Trench coat bunched underneath. *
EVAN: Oh, come the fuck on!
JACKLIN: Wait. Is that that Robber from the News!?
*Shock ran out through the Tavern.” If that’s him he’s armed. Get away!” some run outside. “Call the Cops!”
VIVIAN: Uhh. I’m sure they just look similar. Why would that guy be here of all places after all.
JACKLIN: No, I’m sure that’s him! Now’s my chance!
VIVIAN: What?

*Jacklin pulls up a Dragon Shaped Hood from under her Jacket and leaps up from where she was sitting. She jumps in Evan’s direction and dropkicks him. They keep trading blows for a couple minutes. After a while Evan has had enough and pulls out a Sledgehammer and hits Jacklin in the Ribs. Knocking her to the Ground. All the other People are gone by this point. Shortly after the Police bust in. The Detective in front aims a Revolver at Evan immediately. He has short Blonde Hair and a Metal Arm. His attire is hardly Professional. Vivian is hiding behind the Bar counter, trying not to be seen.

Detective: Freeze! What the?! What is going on in here!?
*Evan looks at Jacklin on the Floor and at his Sledgehammer*
EVAN: Is that a trick question?
Detective: Umm. Just put your hands in the Air!
EVAN: …
What if I don’t?
Detective: H-Huh?
EVAN: Come on Felix. We’ve been through this Song and Dance before.
You’re gonna “convince” me to come with you peacefully, I’m gonna break out and then we don’t see each other again for several months. That’s what always happens.
FELIX: …What are you getting at?
EVAN: What I’m getting at is-

*Evan slowly starts walking towards Felix

EVAN: There is no other Exit besides the one you came in from. So, I will just walk out and you will stand by the side and not get one of your Teeth knocked out.
FELIX: Ok stop right now or-
EVAN: OR WHAT?! You use that fancy little gun of yours and finally do you fucking job?! Do you even know how to use that thing properly?!
*Felix pulls the trigger*
……
FELIX: W-wait. I-i-i- didn’t- I mean- No. I-
*Evan touches the Bullet Hole in his Chest
EVAN: Huh… Didn’t think you had it in you…
*Evan falls over Backwards, Dead

Chapter 1

*Vivian recovers from her shock when a Police officer asks her if she is hurt. She springs up and sees that Evan’s Body is gone.
VIVIAN: Where did he go?
Police: Oh. Well, we had to take him away. Can’t really leave a corpse lying around.
VIVIAN: Where are they taking him?
POLICE: Huh? Um, I think they are taking him to the Hospital.
VIVIAN: So he’s still alive?!
POLICE: What? No! Thankfully not. Apparently he was an Organ Donor.
VIVIAN: Really?

*Vivian of course knew this already but acted surprised to not seem suspicious.
She walks out of the building and feels around her clothes. Finding the Item she took from the Church earlier.
VIVIAN: (“Reviving people” huh.) *With a plan in mind she heads off towards the Hospital as fast as she can. After realizing she doesn’t know where that is she calls a Taxi towards it. Upon arriving she puts up her hood, obscuring her face and walks in. She looks at the signs and heads to the Operating Rooms while avoiding as much suspicion as possible. After spying into several Rooms, she finds a room with several Detectives looking through Evan’s belongings. The one next to it has Evan inside, with his chest cut open and two Surgeons. She bursts into the Room immediately with the Heart out and tackles the one operating. When she goes to use the Item, she realizes she doesn’t know how it works and tries to touch him with it.

Doctor: Hey what do you think you’re doing?!
*The other Doctor tries to get her away from Evan and grabs her. In the process she lets go of the Heart and drops it into Evan’s chest cavity. Immediately the cut heals up. The Doctor is flabbergasted by this. Using the confusion Vivian grabs a Fire extinguisher close by and hits the Doctor on the Head, knocking them out.

POLICE: Hey, everything ok in there? *Vivian barricades the door before the Police officer can walk in.*
VIVIAN: (Great plan Vivian. You have really outdone yourself this time. Years of keeping your existence secret and now this. What now. You can’t even get the Heart back at this point.)
EVAN: Hnngggg??
*Vivian turns around, seeing that Evan is slowly sitting up from the metal table. Still completely naked. The Policeman is banging on the Door. *

VIVIAN: No time to explain! *Vivian grabs Evan’s hand and drags him to the other exit. He stumbles heavily but manages to catch his footing.
EVAN: Shouldn’t I be wearing something?
VIVIAN: …That would be a good plan yes. You would catch too much attention looking like this.

*They walk to the next room over, where the policeman was moments prior. *
VIVIAN: Guess that guy didn’t know about the back exit. Oh hey, over there.
*She hands Evan a Patient gown*
VIVIAN: And all this stuff too.
*She grabs Evan’s belongings, all of which were put in a Bag. She turns around and sees Evan wearing the gown backwards. *
VIVIAN: Whatever it’s fine.
*Vivian pulls him again to the back exit, shortly before the Policeman comes in through the second door.
VIVIAN: (Let’s hurry.) *They go down several hallways until they see that there is another Police officer blocking off the way out. *
EVAN: Shit. *Looking back the policeman from earlier is blocking the other side. Before he could see them, they walk into the closest room and close the Door. *
What the Hell? *They turn around. They went into a patient Room. In the Bed sits Jacklin, covered in Bandages.

JACKLIN: Why are you- wait. HOW are you here? You’re supposed to be Dead.
EVAN: Yes but also no. VIVIAN: Just don’t scream! We can explain.
EVAN: Can you? I can’t.
JACKLIN: I don’t care just- ow.
VIVIAN: You ok?
JACKLIN: No! That guy broke my Ribcage!
EVAN: Oh, right.
JACKLIN: So why would I ever listen to you.
EVAN: …If we healed your Ribcage maybe? VIVIAN: What?
JACKLIN: …Is that a joke?
EVAN: I can come back from the dead so I don’t see how a broken rib would pose a problem.
JACKLIN: Well…
If you are serious then maybe. I am kind of low on Money and can’t really afford a hospital stay.
VIVIAN: Ok but you must help us out then.
JACKLIN: …Fine. Don’t try anything stupid though. I can still punch you.
*Evan walks up to the Bed and puts his Hand on Jacklin’s Chest. After a few seconds he walks away again. *
VIVIAN: So… did that do anything?

*Jacklin gets up out of bed.
JACKLIN: It… seems so? *Jacklin does some stretches.
VIVIAN: How did you do that?
EVAN: Gonna be completely honest. I don’t know.
JACKLIN: Wait. So you are telling me you didn’t even know this would work!?
VIVIAN: No take backs.
JACKLIN: Argh. Alright what do you need.
VIVIAN: Oh just something along the lines of…
A place to stay until we don’t have to worry about anyone finding out that Evan is alive.
JACKLIN: What? That’s ridiculous. I don’- EVAN: If you don’t they will just kill me again.
JACKLIN: !
Ok. Fine. I guess I do have a couch in my Apartment. You are going to have to get your own food though.
VIVIAN: No problem.
EVAN: I’m used to worse.
VIVIAN: Now we just have to wait here until the police is gone.
JACKLIN: And until I am released from the hospital. I am not letting you in my Apartment alone.

*They hid in Jacklin’s Room until the Police stopped investigating the Hospital. Naturally her Room was searched as well. They hid under Jacklin’s Bed during that time. She considered selling them out right then, but she wasn’t the Type of Girl to go back on a Promise.

Elsewhere
?: Felix, explain yourself!
FELIX: I’m sorry Boss. It was in the heat of the moment
BOSS: Heat of the moment?! Then what the hell did we train you for? Just so you could kill someone? I know that’s not the real reason.
FELIX: …
BOSS: *sigh* You know there’s a reason we assigned you to him right?
FELIX: I’m aware.
BOSS: He’s slippery. Always gets out of being jailed up. Even when we catch him, he somehow escapes every time. So, we only assign him to people that we don’t trust to do their jobs. Because it doesn’t matter for him. And what do you do? You kill him.
FELIX: But-
BOSS: And you have trailed off on the job for the last 5 years. Do you think we don’t know why? We checked your apartment, Felix!
FELIX: You what!?
BOSS: We saw those conspiracy theories. Those madman scribbles. You’re so busy with those that you’re a Murderer now. Why, I could fire you right now.
FELIX: But it’s not theories! It’s true! And someone has to look into it. The moon doesn’t explode by itself.
BOSS: Do you really think you’re the first person to look into it? That you’re the man to do it? Well, I don’t care. What I care is that you don’t kill people on the Job. You can be lucky that Evan has no Family for you to answer to.
BOSS: I understand that you still haven’t properly recovered from THAT incident, but one more slip up and you’re done.
FELIX: …Understood.
*Felix leaves the Room with his Head hung low. Seconds later the Boss gets a Phone call*
BOSS: What do you MEAN the Body went missing!?

*Jacklin was released later that afternoon after her “miraculous” recovery. They walk out together. Evan is wearing the Hoodie again and Vivian took off her Cloak. The walk was paranoid and silent. In the Distance someone follows them undetected until they arrive at their Destination.
EVAN: So, this is where you live? Kind of small.
*It’s a small 2 room apartment. A main room with a kitchen part, couch and tv and a Bedroom.
JACKLIN: You can be lucky that I live alone. Couldn’t hide you otherwise.
…
JACKLIN: So, I know that Evan has been terrorizing the Country for Years now. But everyone said that he was a solo Act. So, who are you?
VIVIAN: Just a Friend.
JACKLIN: Of a wanted Criminal?
EVAN: Are wanted Criminals not allowed to have Friends?
JACKLIN: Fine. Don’t tell me then. Just hard to imagine you being Friendly to people.
VIVIAN: (It was kind of weird how you offered to help her so willingly.)
EVAN: (It just felt like the right thing to do. And it did help us, didn’t it?)
EVAN: And what about you? Why are you wearing a Costume under your Clothes.
JACKLIN: Isn’t it obvious? I’m a superhero! And the Suit gives me Powers.
VIVIAN: Hinscheid doesn’t have superheroes. They don’t even like People having Powers here.
JACKLIN: I noticed that when I moved here… But that won’t stop me!
EVAN: A Broken Ribcage did though.
JACKLIN: Shut up. Anyway, I’m going to bed. I’ll Barricade the Door so don’t even think about killing me in my Sleep.
VIVIAN: I call shotgun on the Couch.
EVAN: Guess I will take the Floor…

The next Day.
JACKLIN: Man, I forgot I needed to get Groceries today.
VIVIAN: Oh, I can join.
JACKLIN: You pay for your own stuff!
VIVIAN: ☹. Fine
EVAN: I’m staying here
JACKLIN: Don’t like Groceries?
EVAN: Yeah, I hate Food- No, because I’m presumed Dead.
JACKLIN: Oh… right… Well, there’s nothing worth much to steal here so I guess that’s fine.
VIVIAN: Later! *Vivian drags Jacklin out the Door*

*An hour passes. Then another. Evan tries calling Vivian on his untraceable Brick Phone. No response. After that he starts worrying and decides to head out in Disguise. He goes to whatever stores he can find nearby, buying some Sandwiches with his completely legal money. No sign of the others though.
EVAN: (This is such a bad idea. She’s probably fine. What if someone recognizes me out here?)
?: HEY YOU!
EVAN: (God FUCKING Damnit. SHIT) *Evan keeps walking without acknowledging them.
?: Don’t you dare ignore me! *They jump in front of him
?: Don’t you realize who I am?
EVAN: Absolutely not.
?: My Name is-
EVAN: Didn’t ask. Anyway. I have to go somewhere.
?: Oh- I don’t think so. Because you! Have something I need…
EVAN: …Which would be?
?: Don’t play dumb. It’s that heart.
EVAN: ?! What. Why do-? Who are you?

*He looks at her properly. It’s a woman in an Orange Dress. Her Teeth are Sharp and her Hair is Big.
ISAAC: Oh, now you care? I’m Isaac.
EVAN: Well, you aren’t getting it.
ISAAC: And why’s that.
EVAN: Cause it’s in my fucking chest that’s why.
ISAAC: Is that so? … I can fix that.
*Isaac dashes towards Evan and quickly stabs him in the chest with a Knife.
ISAAC: Let’s get it out then.
* Evan punches Isaac away and pulls the Knife out of his Body. The Wound in his chest heals immediately*
EVAN: What the hell do you think you’re doing?!
ISAAC: What does it look like? My job! *She says with a smug look.
*Isaac takes several more attempts at ripping open Evan’s rib cage. Evan naturally does not like that and backs up, eventually he gets pushed against a door. Evan grabs Isaac and throws her against it, breaking it down. Isaac still gets up.
EVAN: Just fuck off already! You’re not winning this!
ISAAC: They always say that!
*They keep fighting. The people around them flee as they see the carnage of the fight. Isaac tries to stab him again, but Evan grabs the Knife by the Blade, and knocks Isaac to the Ground, pinning her under him.
EVAN: STOP!
*Isaac spits in his Face*
*Before Evan has time to think he rips the Knife out of his Hand and stabs it into Isaac’s Eye*

*Isaac stops moving. It takes a couple of moments for Evan to realize what he has done. He looks at the Blood on his Hands. No one else was around. He needed to get out of there right now. He runs. He tries to hide the Blood and his face.

Isaac’s Hand twitches.

*Minutes later the Police arrive at the Scene, with them is Felix
FELIX: Why did you call me here?
POLICE: Apparently some people claim they saw Evan here.
FELIX: What? That’s ridiculous. He died.
POLICE: Just telling you what I heard. Anyway, let’s go in.
FELIX: Careful. The Killer might still be here.
*They go inside the building. There is some Splotches of Blood further in. At the end of it is the Shambling Body of Isaac. She turns around towards Felix. One Eye full of Fury, the other one a Black Hole.
FELIX: Miss, are you okay?! You are bleeding.
ISAAC: SHuT UP! *She tries to throw a Knife at him. Missing completely and almost falling over. Felix grabs his Stun gun. Before Felix is able to make another move Isaac takes out a strange Key, opens a Portal behind her and disappears, leaving Felix in shock. Below where she was standing, he notices a Device, not too dissimilar to a GPS Tracker.
FELIX: Just what is going on here?

*Evan runs back to Jacklin’s Apartment. Jacklin is there.
JACKLIN: Oh hey. Where were you? I thought you didn’t want to go outside.
EVAN: …
JACKLIN: You okay?
*Evan is panting heavily, eyes unfocused, he looks around.
EVAN: …Where’s Vivian? She was with you, wasn’t she?
JACKLIN: Oh yeah. I noticed her leave with some other People with the same Hood.
EVAN: AND YOU DIDN’T STOP THEM!?
JACKLIN: Should I have? I thought she was a part of them.
EVAN: NO! WE ROBBED THEM!
JACKLIN: What? Well, how was I supposed to know?
EVAN: Oh, Jesus FUCK! We have to go find her.
JACKLIN: Right. I’ll call the Police right away.
EVAN: No. I’m going there myself. Police would just get in the way.
JACKLIN: … Fine. But where do we find her?
EVAN: That church. Come on let’s go.
JACKLIN: Me?
EVAN: You want to be a Hero, right? Now’s your chance.
*Jacklin didn’t want to admit it, but he was right. This was probably her best shot at Hero work. She quickly put on her Dragon Costume and followed him out.

*They arrive at the Door. Evan now back in his Trademark Trench coat. His other Clothes were too bloody to not draw Attention anymore. He breaks open the Door. A couple of Cultists are behind it.
CULTIST: Hey! What the- *Evan punches him in the face*
EVAN: Where’s Vivian.
CULTIST2: Oh. her. She is just atoning for her sins.
EVAN: If any of you have as much as laid a finger on her I am killing everyone in this Building.
JACKLIN: (Whoa. Hey. I did not agree to that. We just need to find her and get out right?)
EVAN: And let them off the Hook? No way.
*Evan pulls out a Shotgun and points it at the Cultists chin.
EVAN: Now where is she?
CULTIST: …. I can’t tell you.
*Evan grabs him and throws him through the Door leading further inside.
EVAN: Then we’ll just look ourselves.

*They go through the Church hallways, breaking through every door. Evan threatening as many people for info as he can. Jacklin hangs behind and blasts away people trying to get the drop on them.
JACKLIN: We should hurry, I think I heard one of them call for Backup
EVAN: This would be faster if they JUST TOLD US WHERE SHE IS!
*Evan smashes the guy he was holding against the Wall.
EVAN: I’ve had enough of this.
*Evan pulls out his Sledgehammer and starts hammering the Walls until they start breaking apart.
EVAN: I will break down this entire Building if I have to!
CULTIST: Wait! Don’t!

*The Wall breaks. Behind it is a sacrificial chamber. A head priest sits next to an altar. There is fresh blood on it.
EVAN: ?!
JACKLIN: What? Is? This?!
PRIEST: What? How did you get down here?
EVAN: Better Question. What did you do here?
*Evan points his gun at him.
PRIEST: What had to be done.
EVAN: …
JACKLIN: So you… killed her?
PRIEST: We sacrificed her to the eldritch ones of course. Sinful behavior as hers was unacceptable. And I would advise you to heed this Warning as wel-
*Evan runs up to him and grabs him by the collar
EVAN: Bring her back.
*His Eyes are burning with Rage.
PRIEST: I’m sorry, but that’s impossible. Once someone crosses the threshold there is no returning.
EVAN: Then make it possible.
PRIEST: Like I said it-
*Evan takes out his Pistol and shoots him in the leg*
JACKLIN: Wha- Hey wait!
EVAN: I said. Bring. Her. Back.
PRIEST: Aaagh! No matter how much you may torture me. I will-
*Evan takes another shot at his other leg*
EVAN: I have time you know. Just tell me when you’ve had enough.
*He readies another shot
PRIEST: OKAY OKAY! But I can’t promise you’ll like the result.

*The Priest pulls out something along the lines of a rusty key and starts chanting above the Altar. Evan holds his Pistol up to his Head. Above the Altar appears a portal. Inside of it is absolute nothingness.
EVAN: Get on with it.
PRIEST: I’m doing it as fast as I can. You shot me in both Legs.
EVAN: I don’t care
*The portal grows larger. Slowly. Something grabs at the ends of it. Eyes start peering through. The portal begins flickering.
JACKLIN: What the hell is that?!
PRIEST: It’s him! He is trying to cross over into our world! We have to stop.
JACKLIN: Isn’t having your God in your world a good thing normally?
PRIEST: No. It demands sacrifice. If it crosses over it will devour us all.
EVAN: Keep going.
PRIEST: But
EVAN: Don’t you dare stop until Vivian is back.
*The Portal begins sparking. In the Distance something Green is visible floating in the Dark.
JACKLIN: There! I’ll grab her!
*Before the feeling of hope is even able to manifest itself in Evan’s mind everything turns white. The Portal exploded.

*The entire Church is reduced to rubble. In the middle of it lies a badly bruised Evan. After a moment his wounds Heal up and he slowly gets up again.
*He looks around. He spots what is most likely one of his Bones next to him and ignores it. Some Cultists are stuck, others are unconscious, and others are simply too shocked to move after having seen a Glimpse of their God.
*Then he spots something Purple. He slowly walks over it; his eyesight is blurry his ears are ringing, and his thoughts are fuzzy. Jacklin is lying face down.
EVAN: Hey get up.
*Jacklin only lets out a slight groan.
EVAN: …You okay?
*He turns her over. Her costume is slightly damaged and below it her skin has been almost completely burnt off. Evan’s eyes shoot open. His mind goes blank*
EVAN: NO! nonononononononoono thisisnothappeningholdonjust- *While attempting not to have a Panic attack he tries to pick her up and hug her, a motion completely unfamiliar to him. She is still breathing.
EVAN: I didn’t- This wasn’t-

EVAN: I’m sorry…

*After a while of staying like this, Jacklin puts a Hand on Evan’s shoulder.
JACKLIN: Evan?... What happened?...
*Evan looks her in the face. The Sight surprises him so much that he lets go of her. She falls backwards and hits her head.
JACKLIN: Ow! Hey watch out! *She touches the spot that hurts. She feels the horns that were part of the costume. She touches her Face. There is a Snout. She looks at her Hands. She now has Claws.

JACKLIN: What did you DO?!?
EVAN: I uh, I think um… What?
JACKLIN: Why am I... THIS?!
EVAN: I just tried to help!
JACKLIN: YOU CALL THIS HELP?!
EVAN: YOU WERE ABOUT TO DIE!
JACKLIN: HOW DID YOU EVEN- No. you know what. I don’t care. I just don’t want to see you EVER! AGAIN! I’m just gonna find out how to fix this myself.
*She blasts into the air in the direction of her apartment, leaving Evan to just sit there.
After some minutes he notices something close to him buried under some Rocks. He springs up and runs to it trying to get it free, only to immediately sink back down after.

*Later at Night, a Street next to a large Building.
A Bottle falls and shatters on the Ground. Atop of it sits Evan looking down at it drinking some Beers.
EVAN: Stupid fucking Healing Factor. Can’t even get drunk anymore. Guess I won’t be doing this the easy way...
*Evan stands up at the Edge
?: You stay right where you are, Loser!
*Behind Evan stands Isaac, looking like nothing had happened to her, except for an Eyepatch hiding a big Scar.
EVAN: You again? Can’t you see I’m busy?
ISAAC: Does it look like I care? We still have unfinished business.
EVAN: If you still want that heart, you can have it in like
*Evan looks down at the Street* 35 Seconds.
ISAAC: Oh I’m not talking about that. What I want is … Revenge.
*Evan’s expression can only be described as someone that could not care less if they tried.
EVAN: …Sure *Evan turns back around*
*Isaac sprints towards Evan and stabs him in his Shoulder. Evan grabs her and before she can react he jumps off the Building while still holding onto her.
ISAAC: WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!
EVAN: TAKE A GUESS, STUPID!
*Isaac wrangles free of Evan’s grip and shortly before they go Splat on the Floor she pulls out a strange Key, opening up a Portal which both of them fall through.

?: And there she goes again. Does she not realize that we have work to do? *Someone says back at the top. Some Footsteps come from the Stairway. The Figure disappears. From up the Stairs runs Felix.

Back in Jacklin’s Apartment.
JACKLIN: Why won’t this come off?!
*Jacklin is in her Bathroom in front of a mirror, pulling at her snout and skin trying to tear it off.
JACKLIN: Aargh! Why does it feel so real. Like it’s actually part of my body.
*Someone walks into her Apartment.
?: Hello, Jacklin? Are you here?
JACKLIN: (Oh no, not now)
ZOEY: It’s me, Zoey. You left the Door open. Is everything ok?
JACKLIN: Uh, yeah. I’m just. Sick. Can you leave now?
ZOEY: B-But I just got here.
JACKLIN: I don’t care. I’m busy.
ZOEY: You always say that. I just want to talk to you and. And I’m not leaving until you do!
JACKLIN: (Argh. Why’d she have to choose today of all days to grow a spine.)

Back at the Rooftop *Felix is fiddling with the GPS Radar he found. It is Showing a Black Dot right next to him.
FELIX: What do you show me little thing. What is here.
*Felix flashes a Flashlight behind the Stairway housing. Sitting there in the Dark is Vivian. Or her Body at least. There are stitches on her Limbs.
FELIX: Ah!
*He falls backwards. The Radar falls too. It starts beeping Loudly, showing an even larger Dot close to them.

Back with Jacklin.
*After some minutes of waiting.
JACKLIN: Fine. You want to see me so badly? Then here you go!
*She storms out, posing dramatically.
JACKLIN: There! Is that what you wanted to see? That I’m some sort of Freak?
*Zoey is surprised but doesn’t take too long to compose herself. Her Face looks the same as Jacklin’s did not long ago. But she wears Glasses, has Blond Hair and a slenderer Build. She also wears more bookish Clothes.
ZOEY: What are you saying? You look fine. I mean. You did always like to Stick out.
JACKLIN: What?! No! Not like this!
ZOEY: Are you sure? It would make sense, I think. First you stopped wearing Glasses, then you dyed your Hair. And with how many cases of people becoming non-human and your love for Dragons as a Kid I figured it was only a matter of time until you decided to do something like this. I mean you were even still wearing that Dragon costume the last time I was here.
JACKLIN: I uh. Well, I mean. That’s not.
*Jacklin looks defeated.
ZOEY: So, you are saying that you don’t want to look like this?
JACKLIN: Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying.
ZOEY: I think I can help actually. I started working with someone that can probably fix this easily. Hold on, I’ll call her.

A couple Streets away.
*A portal opens. Out of it pop Evan and Isaac at a high horizontal Velocity. They slide across the floor until they stop.
EVAN: What the Hell was that?!
ISAAC: I should be asking you that! You tried to kill us!
EVAN: Can you blame me?! Frankly, the World would be better off without either of us.
ISAAC: Hah! Talk for yourself! I am a Hero! I work for God himself!
EVAN: And Religious too. That’s just-
*Evan is glaring at the Sky above Isaac.
ISAAC: What. What is it?
Isaac looks back too. Up above them is a Giant mass blacking out the broken Moon. It has many Eyes. It’s Body shifting between total Black, then Static, then Glitching into another Shape. Just looking at it is making them Nauseous and burning their Retinas.
EVAN: What the Hell is THAT!?
*As if on cue Isaac gets a Phone call, allowing her to look away from the Abomination.
ZOEY: Hi Isaac.
ISAAC: Zoey, this is a Bad Time. Actually, no wait. Great timing. I could use Help here. Call Rene as well if he’s there. I’m on the 18^th.
EVAN: What? No, we aren’t. This is the 16^th.
JACKLIN: Wait. Is that Evan?!

Back at Jacklin’s place.
ZOEY: Sorry I need to go help her right now. This seems serious. *She runs outside.
JACKLIN: Hey wait!
*She was about to run outside after her before realizing that she was in her Underwear.
JACKLIN: Damnit. Have to find something I can wear first.
*After thinking for a second, she get out the Overalls from her Job and cuts a hole in the Back for her tail.

*Felix looks at the Beeping Device. He looks in the Direction of where it is. There he sees the Monstrosity. After shortly deliberating what to do with Vivian’s body he leaves it and runs down the Stairs towards the large black dot. Then in an Elevator. Halfway through-
JACKLIN: Ah let me in *Jacklin gets in the Elevator to the discomfort of Felix, who has never seen a non-human in real life before.

Back with Evan.
EVAN: So, what’s the Plan?
ISAAC: Why are you asking me?
EVAN: You called for Backup didn’t you? You must have some kind of idea.
ISAAC: Uh, right, yeah, obviously. Well, it’s simple.
*Isaac launches a Knife at it. It falls through it completely as if it wasn’t even there.
EVAN: Is that all you can do?
ISAAC: You do better then.
*The abomination comes closer. With speed too fast for something of its size it uses one of its many extremities to Swing at Evan, Passing completely through his Head.
EVAN: ???????
ISAAC: Ahhh. It’s just some kind of Illusion. Should’ve figured. My Boss is gonna laugh when he hears about this.
*She turns around and pulls out the Portal Key*
*A tendril from the Beast Strikes her from Behind. Piercing a hole in her Stomach. After it retracts, she falls over and lets go of the Key. Evan runs over to check on her. The edges of her Wound look similar to the Thing’s Body. He picks up the Key. Before he is even able to process everything the creature stabs into him again, but this time grabbing onto his heart. Almost crushing it, with a slow tug it rips it out of his chest. Without a Heart Evan sees his life flash before his eyes for the second time that Week. With these thoughts in his mind a portal opens in front of him. Encircling the Tendril of the beast and almost immediately closing again, separating it.

*The cut tentacle disintegrates. The Heart falls on the floor. Evan topples and grabs onto it while he is still able to. Holding it to his chest but not putting it in the bleeding Hole. Slowly he stands up again as his Wound closes. He can feel his Heart regrowing inside. He can feel a Heartbeat again.
ZOEY: Oh my God what happened here?! What is that!?
EVAN: No time to explain! I don’t care who you are! Get her out of here! I think she’s dying. *He points at Isaac writhing in Pain*
ZOEY: O-oH! Got it!
EVAN: And uh, take this too.
*He throws her the Heart. It now has several cracks
EVAN: I will deal with this.
*Zoey fumbles catching the Heart but puts it in her Pocket. She then grabs Isaac by the legs and pulls her to a nearby side alley.
*The Entity tries a couple more stabs towards Zoey and Isaac. Evan jumps in front and makes a portal before it is able to get close to them, cutting off each Limb.

ZOEY: Isaac are you okay?! Talk to me!
ISAAC: ShUt up. Do I loOk okay!?
ZOEY: It’s okay just stay with me. You’ll be fine.
ISAAC: Easy for you to say! You don’t have a leg sized hole in your stomach!
ZOEY: Um, Here. Does this help?
*She holds the Heart up to Isaac’s Wound(?). It does nothing.
ZOEY: Oooohhh. Come on. Please.
*She starts shaking it. The cracks on it begin to deepen. As if it was an egg about to hatch it starts to bounce out of Zoey’s Hand. They watch in Horror as the Heart cracks open. Shining so Bright that it causes both of them Cover their Eyes. Out of it comes a small Girl with White Hair and big Antlers. She falls flat on her Face.
ISAAC: What the, why is?
*The Girl removes her Face from the Floor.
ISAAC: Lucy?!
LUCY: Isaac?!
*Lucy rushes over towards Isaac and gives her a big Hug.
LUCY: I’m so glad you’re okay!
ISAAC: Well. I’m not! But thank you. Why were you in there?
LUCY: I don’t know. I was by your side and then suddenly I was gone. How long was I away?
ISAAC: It doesn’t matter just stay with me from now on. *Her Wound slowly begins to close up. The corruption around it disappearing. Zoey just watches from the side, not wanting to ruin the Reunion.
ISAAC: Now let’s get out of here before it comes back for me!
ZOEY: Wait, but what about him?
ISAAC: Who cares.
*She runs away holding Lucy’s Hand. Zoey looks back but follows shortly after.

*After the living corruption has had enough it tries to grab at the key with all of its limbs at once. Evan tries to hold back and make a portal around it. It doesn’t work. It disappears before it’s able to form. Evan makes a Portal behind himself and behind the Thing. Then lets go of the Key. As it slingshots the Key through the Portal, the Portal again falls in on itself and detaches the Beast from every single one of its limbs. The key lands behind Evan as he picks the Key back up again. The key is surprisingly unharmed. Evan goes towards the Being, now without limbs, it’s even smaller than him at this point.
EVAN: Not so tough now huh!? Piece of shit. What the hell even are you?
*He waves his arm around inside of it. He does not feel anything.*
EVAN: Seriously. Anything. Give me something. I just had the worst day of my entire life. The least you could do is give me an Answer!
?: WWhhat?
EVAN: You can talk?!
?: Huh? Offff course I can Evan.
EVAN: Wait… No. NO!!
VIVIAN: What. Don’t you recognize me? It’s me Vivian. Really glad to see you man.

*She looks like someone took Vivian’s silhouette and put Solid Yellow Eyes in random places on it. He could not deny it.
*Evan falls unconscious in the middle of the Street.

Later
JACKLIN: So, what happened?! Why are you some kind of…I don’t even know what you are. And what is Evan doing here?! I bet this is somehow his fault.
FELIX: Better Question. WHY IS HE ALIVE!?
VIVIAN: Good Question. Long Story. Oh hey he’s waking up. Maybe he can tell you.
EVAN: Good Morning to you too…
FELIX: What
EVAN: So, are you here to throw me in jail again? Fantastic.
FELIX: Well, I kind of have t-
*Felix takes a Moment to think about everything he experienced the last few Days. Ghosts. Necromancy. Dragons. And this strange Device. If anyone could possibly help him find out the Mystery of back then, it’s most likely these People. He couldn’t let Evan simply go to Jail again. If he even stayed there this time
FELIX: Actually. No.
VIVIAN: Oh, cool. We will just be going then.
*She motions to grab Evan’s Hand, passing through it again.
FELIX: Wait! I’m not letting you go just like that. I er. I want to propose a Deal.
JACKLIN: (Wait are you sure about this? Deals with him don’t go well in my experience.)
FELIX: (Trust me I can’t believe I’m doing this either.) *sigh* Okay here’s the Gist of it. I am currently Investigating the Reason of the Disaster from 18 Years ago. The Moon blowing up to be precise. And I need help.
FELIX: This right here is the most paranormal activity I have seen in Ages. If anyone can help me out with this, it’s you. If you accept, I will give you whatever you want.
EVAN: …
FELIX: …Well?
EVAN: I want some new legal Documents. Ones without a criminal Record.
FELIX: What?
EVAN: You heard me. I want a clean Slate.
FELIX: I um. Fine. Sure.
VIVIAN: And if you don’t hold your promise. *Her Visage contorts into a terrible Grimace tall enough to swallow Felix whole.
VIVIAN: I’ll eat your SOUL!
FELIX: G-got it. Please NEVER make that Face again.
VIVIAN: Haha okay. 😊
*Evan finally sits up from the Ground.
EVAN: Can we discuss this somewhere else. Like not the middle of the Road.
JACKLIN: Let’s go to my place.
If you REALLY think that this is a good Idea, then fine. But I’m not letting him out of my sight.
FELIX: (I can already feel a Headache coming in..)

Chapter 1B

FELIX: So… Before anything else. Can any of you explain THIS!?
*The 4 of them are on the Rooftop. Felix points to Vivian’s Corpse.
VIVIAN: Good Question. Why IS my Dead Body here.
*Jacklin tries to not throw up at the Sight of a Corpse.
EVAN: Oh. Yeah. Well. It’s a long Story. Me and Jacklin-
_{(JACKLIN: DON’T DRAG ME INTO THIS!)}
went to a Cult to save Vivian after she had been kidnapped. But we were too late. They already sacrificed her when we got there and uh. The building blew up after I made them try to revive her. It uh. Didn’t go well.
FELIX: …
VIVIAN: Aww. You went through all that for me? That’s so cute. Anyway, what do we do with this thing? Do we bury it?
*Vivian moves to poke the Body. She does not pass through.
VIVIAN: Wait what.
*Vivian starts picking up the Body in different places. Moving it around.
FELIX: What? That’s not how Ghosts work! I mean. Ghosts aren’t real but uh. I mean.
JACKLIN: So, you can just move it around… Does that mean you can become alive again. Like if you go inside of it again.
VIVIAN: Let’s try it. *She forces herself down her own Throat. The Body flops on the Floor. After a second it sits up again.
VIVIAN: How does it look? *Her eyes are Black with bright yellow pupils. Her voice is rough. She is neither Blinking nor Breathing. Jacklin and Felix watch in Horror.
EVAN: You look like a Zombie.
VIVIAN: Nice. *She starts floating again.
EVAN: Guess we don’t need to bury the Body then. Good.
FELIX: … Okay then. Let’s go inside somewhere. It’s getting cold. Jacklin let’s go to your Place.

*They are all sitting on the Couch (and a spare chair in Felix’s case) in Jacklin’s living Room. The Atmosphere is uncomfortable at best and dangerous at worst.
EVAN: So. You said you want my Help with finding something about the Moon exploding, right? Just to warn you. I was 6 when that happened so it wasn’t me.
JACKLIN: Damn, I was 1 Year old.
VIVIAN: Oh my God you are so young. You are like a Baby.
FELIX: I’m not accusing you of blowing up the Moon Evan.
EVAN: What do you want me to do then? I don’t know anything about it.
FELIX: I saw you defeat some kind of …Eldritch Abomination with my own 2 Eyes. And as you said you went to a Cult and made them try to revive a Dead Person. With mixed Results.
VIVIAN: I’m mixed Results?
FELIX: Point being. You’re no ordinary man if you’re capable of those things. So even if you don’t know anything you might help with taking down whatever caused it.
EVAN: Ah. I get it. I’m the muscle. Tell me what the Plan is then Boss.
FELIX: Right…
JACKLIN: …
VIVIAN: You have no idea how to actually start searching, do you.
FELIX: I’m thinking of that! There must be a reason no one has ever found the culprit after all.
EVAN: …
JACKLIN: Are you REALLY sure this is a good idea?
FELIX: I can’t just sit around and do nothing. Hold on.

*He pulls out the GPS Device from his Pocket.
FELIX: Can you tell me anything about this?
EVAN: Hm? Hold on. Where did you get that?
FELIX: Oh. Yesterday we got a call that someone, that might have been you, attacked a Girl. We didn’t think much of it since we still thought you were dead. When I got there, she was in really bad shape and missing an eye. Somehow, she wasn’t bleeding though. She used something to teleport away but she dropped this before then.
EVAN: Just to be clear I acted out of self-defense.
FELIX: So it WAS you there.
EVAN: … Shit.
JACKLIN: You stabbed someone in the eye out of self-defense?
EVAN: It’s complicated.
VIVIAN: Why did she attack you?
EVAN: She was after the Heart thing I had in my chest. I obviously wasn’t going to give that away. I would’ve died.
JACKLIN: Wait is that what gave you those healing Powers?
EVAN: Yeah. Don’t have those anymore though. Vivian ripped it out when she was… well you know
VIVIAN: Oopsie.
EVAN: That girl was there too. Vivian punched a giant hole in her Stomach. Her name was Isaac by the way.
VIVIAN: So don’t touch me or you will die 😊
FELIX: Huh. Sounds like she might be a good starting point. Anything else there?
EVAN: This blonde girl showed up and carried her away so she wouldn’t get hurt.
JACKLIN: Wait. Was she wearing a Purple Coat?
EVAN: Yeah, why?
JACKLIN: God. DAMNIT! WHY IS SHE INVOLVED IN THIS?!
FELIX: ??? EVAN: ??? VIVIAN: ???
JACKLIN: Never mind, she’s not important. She’s just my sister.
FELIX: … Okay. Wow. Alright
VIVIAN: Let’s take a look at this thing.
*She picks up the GPS. It has one black Dot on Vivian’s location.
VIVIAN: What is this?
EVAN: Looks like it’s pointing at you.
VIVIAN: Why is it on me? What did I do?
EVAN: It’s probably not you specifically but instead the Eldritch Horror part of you.
VIVIAN: Oh yeah.
JACKLIN: Is that all it does? We already know where Vivian is. That’s not very helpful.
VIVIAN: Yeah. Let’s try fiddling around with this.
*Vivian starts pushing buttons on the Device at random.
FELIX: Hey! Be careful! We don’t know what it can do.
*The picture on the GPS shows 2 more Dots on the Display on Jacklin and Felix.
JACKLIN: So it can detect people in general, huh. That’s better.
EVAN: Except I’m not there. Am I just invisible to Magic now?
VIVIAN: Possibly. I can pass through you as well. Wonder why.
EVAN: Guess that can be useful for something.
VIVIAN: Let’s check for everyone in the Country with magic powers.
*Vivian adjusts a dial on the GPS and zooms the Picture out. Many more dots appear. There is a large Collection of them at a certain Location.
EVAN: The Hell is this?
FELIX: Let’s see… Huh?
JACKLIN: What is it?
FELIX: That’s where the Police HQ is.
VIVIAN: Figures that the Police would hoard magic powers after limiting them for the Public.
EVAN: Great. Let’s ignore that.
JACKLIN: Are you serious? Why?
VIVIAN: What for? He’s from the Police. He probably already has all the Information we could find there.
FELIX: Not quite. I am just a regular Detective after all. I don’t deal much with Magic Cases. I didn’t even know there was anything stored there.
EVAN: You didn’t even try investigating the fucking Government when looking into a Conspiracy? Are you stupid? *Evan holds the Bridge of his Nose.
FELIX: W-well. Either way. This seems worth looking into. They are having a Party there in a couple Days. I planned not to go, but I might ask around. _{VIVIAN: How convenient.}
EVAN: Drunk people do tend to let things slip. But what the hell am I meant to do at a Party. Directly at the Police HQ. While I’m meant to be dead.
FELIX: Yeah… I guess that wouldn’t go well.
JACKLIN: Don’t worry. I’ll go.
FELIX: Can’t do that either. I’m not quite sure but your whole existence might be breaking some laws currently. _{VIVIAN: Lmao.}
EVAN: Sounds like Vivian is volunteering.
VIVIAN: Wait what?
FELIX: Guess so. She at least looks normal enough. As long as we cover the Stitches.
VIVIAN: Oh, come on.
JACKLIN: What do the Rest of us do in the Meantime.
FELIX: Stand by from a Safe Distance in case something happens.
JACKLIN: Got it! *She gives an enthusiastic Thumbs-up*
EVAN: If I must.
FELIX: Ok I will work out the specifics. Guess that will be it for today.
JACKLIN: Only a couple Minutes and we already have a Lead and a Plan.
EVAN: I wouldn’t go that far.
*After a short exchanging of Contact Information Felix leaves and Jacklin goes to her Bedroom.

*During the Night Evan lays on the Couch. Vivian is looking outside the Window, not having to sleep anymore.
VIVIAN: Why are there so many Bottles on the Floor?
EVAN: Oh. Those are mine.
VIVIAN: Since when do you drink?
EVAN: I don’t. This night was an exception.
VIVIAN: Because I wasn’t there? I must be a good Influence.
*Evan debated in his Head if he should tell her what he planned to do. Actually. It wasn’t even planned. He threw himself off the Roof. If Isaac hadn’t been there he would be dead right now.
*He couldn’t tell her that. At least not now.
EVAN: I need some Rest.
VIVIAN: Hm. Guess I’ll have figure out what to do during the Nights from now on…
*Vivian was acting like everything was fine. But Evan knew her better than that. Being dead can’t be comfortable no matter what. But there wasn’t much he could do right now.

*The next morning. Felix is at work. Jacklin is still asleep. Evan is lying on Jacklin’s Couch. Vivian is in Jacklin’s Room. Evan didn’t dare ask why. There’s a knock on the Front door. Evan recognized the Voice.
_{ZOEY: Hello? Jacklin? Sorry for running out on you Yesterday.}
*Evan gets up and opens the Door.
ZOEY: Oh! It’s you!
EVAN: Yo. You’re Jacklin’s… Sister, right?
ZOEY: Yes. And you’re her friend then?
EVAN: Yeah. Let’s go with that.
ZOEY: Um, since you’re here. On Isaac’s behalf I wanted to thank you for saving her life yesterday. She also wanted me to give you this.
*It’s a letter. Inside she calls Evan every Insult he has ever heard of, and some he hasn’t.
EVAN: Thanks. I’ll treasure it. By the way. What happened to the Heart I gave you? I could really use it again.
ZOEY: I… don’t think you’re getting that back. It broke. And there was a person inside. Uh. I don’t think I’m allowed to say more.
EVAN: Lucy, right?
ZOEY: Oh. Yes. Wait. How did you know?
EVAN: I’m… not sure...
*That was not a lie. He genuinely didn’t know how he knew that.
ZOEY: Sorry but. Who are you? You aren’t a normal person, right? Were you on the News once?
EVAN: Well. Same to you. How did you get together with some kind of magic Bounty Hunter like Isaac.
ZOEY: …I don’t think I’m allowed to say.
EVAN: Then we are at a stalemate.
*Evan closes the Door.
^{ZOEY: Wait I didn’t get to talk to- Actually never mind.}

*Several Days pass by without major incident, besides one bloody event where Jacklin tried to cut her tail off. Felix comes by after Work to check whether Evan is still there and gives Vivian advice on how to behave at the Party. She pretends to listen. Jacklin calls in sick to work for the foreseeable future.

*The Morning of the Day of the Party. Jacklin wakes up groggy. Right in front of her Face is Vivian in Ghost form looking straight into her eyes.
JACKLIN: AAH! *Jacklin falls out of Bed.
JACKLIN: Don’t do that!
VIVIAN: Do what?
JACKLIN: Never mind! Just get out of my Room!
*Jacklin gets dressed and goes out to the living Room. Evan is still asleep. Felix is there.
JACKLIN: You’re here early.
FELIX: It’s noon.
JACKLIN: Close enough.
*Jacklin starts eating some “Breakfast”
FELIX: We still need to buy Vivian a presentable Dress, so we need to head out sooner than I thought.
VIVIAN: You’re paying.
FELIX: I’ll put it down as a business expense. Now stop stalling.
*They head out unceremonially. After a couple minutes Evan stands up.
EVAN: Alright I’m heading out too.
JACKLIN: What? Where to?
EVAN: Doesn’t really concern you.
JACKLIN: What? Of course it does! It is my Job to keep tabs on you after all. Who knows what kind of shady stuff you’d do by yourself.
EVAN: …You’re bored aren’t you.
JACKLIN: That’s beside the Point…
EVAN: Fine whatever tag along.

*Later at the Gate to the Party. At this point it is now 4pm. Vivian is wearing a frilly dark Yellow Dress. Felix is wearing an unbuttoned Tuxedo over a turtleneck. Both look cheap.
FELIX: Alright just don’t do anything suspicious.
*Vivian throws open the Door in a dramatic way.
VIVIAN: I’m sorry what?
FELIX: Nothing.
*They Walk inside with an uncomfortable number of stares headed their way. The Hall is ostentatiously large with a Dance Floor, a huge Bouquet and a big Window leading to a Balcony.
VIVIAN: (So this is what you people spend our Tax Money on huh.)
FELIX: (Don’t act like you pay Taxes.)

*They settle near the Bouquet. Out of immediate hearing Distance of others. Not that it mattered since the music is already loud and there is a lot of chatter.
VIVIAN: You know these people, right? Who is going to give us that info.
FELIX: Good Question
VIVIAN: Good Question? You had several days to think of this.
FELIX: Shut up. I barely even know these People.
VIVIAN: And you call yourself a Detective?
FELIX: I’m a great Detective I’ll let you know.
?: Hey Felix, Buddy. Surprised to see you here. *The man is obviously another Detective with slicked back hair and a Rat-like nose.
DETECTIVE: Really thought you’d be on the chopping Block after your stunt a couple days ago.
FELIX: Hey, do you mind? We were in the middle of talking here.
DETECTIVE: Ah, my Mistake. By the way missus. Try the Parfait, it’s great.
VIVIAN: You know each other?
DETECTIVE: Not quite but we see each other around sometimes.
VIVIAN: Tell me. Do you ever deal with cases involving Magic items.
DETECTIVE: …Why do you ask?
VIVIAN: Cause this guy keeps complaining that he never gets any, (but I think he’s just bad at it.)
FELIX: What? No, I’m. I mean I don’t- I mean
DETECTIVE: Haha, I can see that. Yes, I do in fact catch plenty of people using Magic Items.
FELIX: (Pff. “Magic”.)
VIVIAN: Do you get to keep them.
DETECTIVE: Well no. That’d be illegal. We hand them over to be stored in a secure Location.
VIVIAN: In this Building, right? What if someone tried to steal it?
DETECTIVE: Well, they would have to sneak their way through the entire Police HQ. Find a way into the Vault and then somehow not get caught at all during it. It’s very restricted access.
VIVIAN: _{(Vault huh.)} Ok thanks. Hey Felix, want to Dance a little while we’re here?
FELIX: Huh what?
*Vivian grabs Felix’s Hand and drags him to the Dance Floor. Leaving the Detective standing by himself.

*Evan and Jacklin are sitting in a Car. Evan is driving.
JACKLIN: Jeez, this is a long drive. Wait. Are you planning to kill me and throw me in a ditch?
EVAN: I’m not secretly planning to kill you Jacklin. Stop implying that.
JACKLIN: Then where are we goin?! You still haven’t told me.
EVAN: The Graveyard.
JACKLIN: ...Are you sure you aren’t planning to kill me?
EVAN: I’m just visiting my parents.
JACKLIN: At the Graveyard? What are they doing there?
EVAN: They’re dead Jacklin.
JACKLIN: Ooooooooooohh. Yeah makes sense.
JACKLIN: …
JACKLIN: Do you want to-
EVAN: It happened years ago, They got stabbed to death and no I don’t want to talk about it.
JACKLIN: Ok different question then. How did you get this Car?
EVAN: How about we stop talking in general for a while.

*Back at the Party. Vivian and Felix are dancing among many others. They finish up and head to the Balcony, slightly out of Breath.
FELIX: I did not expect you to be able to Dance.
VIVIAN: Eh. Figured I should do it at least once. Might not get a chance to again.
FELIX: Where did you learn to do that?
VIVIAN: Trained under a monk for 2 years.
FELIX: …Really?
VIVIAN: No lmao.
FELIX: Come on would it kill you to be honest for one Second? That was an innocent question. I didn’t even have an ulterior motive there.
VIVIAN: Ok. You get one honest Answer, how about that?
FELIX: Hmm. You know… I am wondering. How did someone like you even end up with Evan.
VIVIAN: Oh please. If you want information on him, you have to try a little harder than that. Or ask him yourself. He seems to trust you for some reason.
VIVIAN: I mean seriously. You killed him.
FELIX: It was in the Heat of the moment!
VIVIAN: Aren’t cops trained for that kind of situation.
FELIX: Well yes. But. I’m not used to dealing with Criminals. I was in the cybercrime division before I got tasked with Evan.
VIVIAN: Haha Nerd. But seriously. How little do you know of him anyway. Weren’t you running after him for years now?
FELIX: …
VIVIAN: Let me guess. You still think that “Evan” is his real name right.
FELIX: …You’re messing with me again aren’t you.
VIVIAN: Maybe. Who knows.
FELIX: I was too busy working on the Moon Mystery.
VIVIAN: Do you even do anything else? What made you so obsessed with the Moon?
FELIX: It’s … a long story.
VIVIAN: Does it involve your Metal Arm? I bet it does.
FELIX: Well. Yeah. A Moon Piece Crashed into my House a couple of Years back. I was in there and my Arm ended up crushed.
FELIX: Ever since then it just didn’t make sense to me how nobody else really cares to know what really happened to the Moon. I mean. The Moon just EXPLODED OUT OF NOWHERE! 18 YEARS AGO! THERE WAS “MAGICAL ITEMS” INSIDE! WHY!? WHO PUT THEM THERE?! NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER!
VIVIAN: Geez dude calm down.
FELIX: Sorry.
VIVIAN: Anyway. Did you get any more info?
FELIX: I went to the people who I know were involved in cases with magic items, but none of them actually know more than us at this Point. They just do as they’re told. You?
VIVIAN: I managed to pickpocket about 150€.
FELIX: Don’t do that! My Reputation will go down the gutter if anyone finds out I brought a pickpocket. So you didn’t get anything information wise?
VIVIAN: I didn’t say that.
FELIX: So you did find something?
VIVIAN: No 😊
FELIX: …Ok we need a different approach.
VIVIAN: I could just go look you know. I’m a ghost.
FELIX: Oh. Yeah. That could work. You saw where the Magic Items were on the-
*Vivian’s ghost leaves her Body and rushes through the Walls. Meanwhile her Body collapses face down to the Shock of Felix. He quickly picks her up and poses her as if she was napping on the fence of the Balcony before anyone notices.
FELIX: (Ghosts, huh? There must be some scientific explanation of how that works.)

*At the Graveyard. Jacklin and Evan are standing silently in front of 2 Graves. They stay like this for several Moments.
JACKLIN: Can you tell me what they were like when they were still alive?
EVAN: …
JACKLIN: Were they nice?
EVAN: …
JACKLIN: Well, I hope they were better than mine at least. You know how Parents shouldn’t have a favorite child? Mine apparently never heard that. My sis was always the smart one. The well behaved one.
EVAN: …
JACKLIN: They never supported me in my Dream to become a Hero either.
EVAN: …Aren’t you doing it illegally?
JACKLIN: Well. Here I am yes. Back home it was different. There were heroes everywhere. I moved here because I wanted to get away from home, cause I just got tired of being with them. I didn’t know the laws were different. And recently my sis found out where I live and wants to “reconnect”.
JACKLIN: I don’t believe that one bit. She’s up to something.
*Evan grimaces a bit, Jacklin doesn’t notice.
EVAN: Hey, I think I forgot the Candles. They’re in the back of the Car. Can you get them for me?
JACKLIN: Oh uh, sure.

*Jacklin walks towards the Van. She opens the back but finds no candles. Then she hears a loud sound of Breaking Rocks. She runs back to Evan. He is already walking back putting a Sledgehammer into his Coat.
JACKLIN: What happened?!
EVAN: I think a Rockslide down the Road. Should be careful.
*Jacklin pushes past him, the Grave of Evan’s Father is now completely broken.
EVAN: Please don’t tell me you’ll make a big fuzz about this.
JACKLIN: How can I not! I mean. Why?!
EVAN: Because it is none of your Business.
JACKLIN: Argh! I knew I couldn’t trust you! Even now you have to go out of your way to cause property Damage!
EVAN: Oh my God who gives a shit. It’s just a rock.
JACKLIN: Let’s see if Felix agrees about that.
EVAN: Don’t you dare…
JACKLIN: Oh, so you’re planning to keep this a secret as well?
EVAN: Look… I just had to do this, ok? Who knows when the next time I would’ve had the chance to get here without Felix _{or Vivian} on my Back. This was the last illegal thing I’m going to do. Please.
JACKLIN: Do you really think you can get me to trust you? After what you did?
EVAN: Come on!
JACKLIN: …
EVAN: Fine then! I will make you stay silent.

*Evan raises the Sledgehammer in Jacklin’s direction.
* Jacklin gets in a Battle stance as well. Her Claws glow red.
*…
JACKLIN: …
*The Wind rustles some leaves on a nearby tree. They slowly circle each other.
EVAN: …
JACKLIN: Well? What are you waiting for?
*Evan looks away from her.
JACKLIN: ?
EVAN: What do you think you Idiot! I don’t want to hurt you again!
*He throws down the Hammer.
JACKLIN: Wha? Then why did you-
EVAN: I was hoping you would chicken out. Ok?
JACKLIN: …
EVAN: Just… Don’t tell either of them about this, ok? Please.
JACKLIN: Then tell me. Why did you do it?
EVAN: ^…You said you had shitty Parents right? Should be pretty obvious from there.
JACKLIN: But. I can’t imagine that it could be bad enough to warrant this.
EVAN: NOT BAD ENO-?!
*He takes a moment to compose himself.
EVAN: Jacklin. I have a metal Plate embedded in my Forehead.
JACKLIN: Okayyy?
EVAN: When I was a Kid my father wanted to do some target Practice. He was drunk. For SOME REASON he wanted to try that Wilhelm Tell shit where he Shoots an Apple from the Top of my Head.
JACKLIN: Oh…
EVAN: Yeah. Right in the Forehead. Lucky I survived at all. He told the Doctors that it was a Burglar that did it. Never faced any Repercussions for it. Well. Until he died anyway.
JACKLIN: So how did he die.
EVAN: …Died by a Robber coming into the House and stabbing him. Ironic right. But it still didn’t sit right with me how he is called a “loving Husband and Father” and “loyal Police Officer till the End” on his Grave. He was none of those things!
JACKLIN: I. See.
EVAN: So please just. Don’t tell anyone about this. Ok?
JACKLIN: …Fine. Just this once.
EVAN: Thank you.

*Vivian floats through several Floors of the Police HQ until she notices a big Vault Door with 2 Guards standing in front of it, several Floors under Ground Level
*Suddenly she hears some Noise coming from behind it. Some kind of strange static. Then after a few seconds there are Voices. Then Screaming. Then Banging on the Vault Door from the Inside.
LEFT GUARD: W-what the?!
RIGHT GUARD: Is there someone in there?!
LEFT GUARD: What do we do? Do we open it? It should be empty…
RIGHT GUARD: I’ll uh-
*The banging continues.
RIGHT GUARD: We kind of have to don’t we. We can’t just leave someone trapped in there.
LEFT GUARD: Y-yeah.
*They input a Code next to the Vault Door and turn a lever to open the Safe.
*As soon as it is slightly open a Crowd of non-human beings run outside of the Vault. There must be at least Dozens. There are sounds of Explosions and the like happening and the inside of the Vault resembles a Microwave with aluminum foil inside. Some are running over one of the Guards.
RIGHT GUARD: Gary! NO!
VIVIAN: Oh this looks bad.
*She quickly flies back towards Felix and drops back inside of her Puppet Body.
VIVIAN: Felix! Bad News!
FELIX: What? What Happened?
VIVIAN: Vault is open. People were inside.
FELIX: WHAT?!
*Vivian pulls out her phone and inputs a number.
VIVIAN: EVAN!
EVAN: Hello?
VIVIAN: We need you here! NOW!
EVAN: Right away.
EVAN: But seriously what’s going on.
VIVIAN: There’s an invasion coming from Inside the Police HQ. Hurry.
?: We apologize for having to cut the festivities short. There seems to be a problem with the uh. Electricity. We must ask you to leave the premises.
FELIX: Let’s go. EVAN: Let’s go.
*Evan and Jacklin get in the Car. Evan slams on the Gas Pedal and starts driving at full speed as the Tires Screech.
EVAN: I’m going to be breaking several Traffic Laws so hold tight! Good thing we are close by.
JACKLIN: But you just said-
EVAN: This is an emergency. Can’t worry about Laws during Emergencies.

*Vivian rips off her Dress to reveal her regular Shirt and Cloak underneath.
VIVIAN: Follow me!
*They run the other way from the rest of the partygoers and go down some stairs. They immediately run into some strange beings trying to run outside.
FELIX: Hey! Can you tell-
*The Being Scratches at them with acidic Claws. They back off.
VIVIAN: Don’t get why you thought you could get an answer out of that thing.
*It looks like it was just on the verge of Death. Frantic and scared. The Edges of its Wounds look corrupted. Besides the Claws dripping with acid, it mostly resembles a humanoid wolf?
FELIX: Well, it’s definitely not employed here. Figured might as well ask the things that came from the Vault itself. Guess it won’t be so easy though.
VIVIAN: Alright let’s keep moving then.
FELIX: We can NOT leave this thing unmonitored. It might kill someone.
VIVIAN: Ugh, I guess.
*Vivian goes around it, as a Distraction. While it tries to attack Vivian Felix comes in from behind and tasers it.
FELIX: Alright. Problem solved. Non-Violently.
*Down a Hallway there are more Beings, with similar Demeanor.
VIVIAN: This might take a while.

*A bit later. Evan is speeding through the city streets. The Police HQ comes into view. Outside the Police has already set up blockades. Evan busts through them head on and then drifts perfectly into a parallel park in front of the Building.
JACKLIN: I think I’m going to throw up.
EVAN: Oh calm down. It wasn’t that bad.
*They get out of the Car. Evan is in disguise again.
JACKLIN: You didn’t have to change clothes while driving though.
*They rush inside before a Police officer is able to grab them. Some People are still leaving the Building.
EVAN: So where exactly are they?
JACKLIN: Let’s go to where people are running away from.
EVAN: Always a good idea.
*As they make their way down Evan punches 2 Officers in the Face who are trying to keep them away. They soon see a gaggle of non-human Bodies lying on the Floor.
EVAN: Must be getting close.
*Further ahead they run into Felix and Vivian, Felix seems to get a bit tired. Two more Beings come at them.
JACKLIN: OK! SHOWTIME!
*Jacklin boosts ahead and Dropkicks one of the creatures. Evan comes from the back and uppercuts the other one with his Hammer. Knocking both out.
VIVIAN: There you are! Finally, some competent people.
FELIX: Hey, it’s not my fault my Taser ran out of Battery.

*To the delight of Vivian they go further into the Dungeon and fight more Enemies as a Team. But it’s not long until they see someone else fighting the Beings, right in front of the Vault. It’s Isaac, Zoey and 2 more they don’t recognize. One small with white Hair, Goggles and big Horns and another Tall, Green, Bug like and wearing Shades indoors.
ISAAC: Well, well, well. Would you look at that. You just can’t leave me alone can’t you.
EVAN: You’re welcome for saving your life by the way.
ISAAC: YOU EnDANGERED IT IN THE FIRST PLaCE!!
JACKLIN: That sounds familiar.
EVAN: Shut up.
ZOEY: Hi Jacklin.
JACKLIN: …Hello Zoey.
FELIX: So who are the others.
LUCY: Hi Evan.
EVAN: Hi Lucy.
ISAAC: Wait wha- SINCE WHEN DO YOU KNOW THIS GUY LUCY!?
LUCY: Since I was-
ISAAC: Actually never mind I just don’t want you associating with him.
VIVIAN: And who’s that Guy?
?: I am... RENE!
*Rene flashes a Pose that he thinks is cool with his 4 Arms.
ISAAC: Yeah, yeah whatever. Nobody asked. _{RENE: Come on man.}
We are kind of busy here.
FELIX: Oh perfect. So are we. So let us just-
ISAAC: Oh, don’t even think about it.
*Isaac throws a Knife at Evan.
ISAAC: I don’t know what you’re planning this time, but I won’t let you. PREPARE TO DIE!
ZOEY: Wait, we’re fighting?!

*They’re fighting. Evan takes off the Hoodie which he bunched the Coat under so he can fight better. Isaac immediately goes for Evan. Vivian disarms her whenever possible. After running out of Knifes she fashions her own Arm into a Sword. Rene fires off some Lasers in Random directions until Jacklin blasts him in the Face. Felix tries to talk Lucy into getting out of Danger until she throws him into a Wall with one Hand. Zoey hides in a Corner.
*The Battle ends when Isaac is knocked out on the Ground, as the others lose their will to fight after.
FELIX: Ok so… what are you doing here really. Did you break in here and cause all this?
RENE: What? No. We are here for the Bounty.
JACKLIN: There’s a Bounty on the Police?
RENE: Not the Police. The Magic Items they have here. But they suddenly started running away. That was not our Fault I promise.
EVAN: Great. This was a huge waste of time. So what-

AAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHH
EVAN: What the fuck.
*A Giant Cyclops with Horns and a Trucker Cap walks through the Vault Door.
GIANT: Finally, I’m out!
VIVIAN: Hey that one can talk!
FELIX: Hey! Can YOU tell us what happened in there?!
GIANT: You dumb, small guy? I’m getting out of here before they can put me back in.
VIVIAN: Haha you are small.
GIANT: Now get out of my Way!
EVAN: Oh boy.
RENE: Hey Reginald. No Rush. We can-
REGINALD: YOU!
*Before he can finish Reginald grabs him by the Arm and slams him into the Wall. He moans in pain.
REGINALD: You had that coming stinkbug.
*Zoey and Lucy drag Isaac out of Harm’s way before the Giant can stomp on them.
LUCY: Good Luck with Escaping.
EVAN: Wait, Lucy! Just punch him. Once.
REGINALD: Oh please. What will that kid do.
LUCY: Uh, Okay. *Lucy walks up to him and punches him in the Leg. There’s a loud cracking Sound. The Cyclops falls to his Knees.
REGINALD: Oof. Ouch. Owie.
EVAN: Alright. Now tell us. What happened there.
REGINALD: Fine Fine. Just get that monster away from me
It was the Demon. The Black one with the yellow eyes. It broke us out.
*Everyone turns to look at Vivian.
VIVIAN: What? It wasn’t me! I was with Felix the whole day.
FELIX: Maybe it’s still inside.

*The 4 of them run to look in the Vault. There is a small amount of Magic Items left. No one is inside anymore.
EVAN: Wasn’t this meant to be a Vault? It’s empty.
FELIX: Yeah, there should’ve been Years of Magic Items stored in here.
VIVIAN: Do you think they just walked out.
JACKLIN: Hold on. They simply turned from Objects into people. Is that what you’re saying?
*She walks into the Vault and checks the Walls.
JACKLIN: Sounds a bit made up.
EVAN: Well…
*He looks at Lucy back with the other group.
EVAN: It’s not impossible.
FELIX: All the Objects had People Inside? That’s almost too hard to believe. _{But wait}
*He turns towards Evan.
FELIX: (Isn’t Jacklin-)
EVAN: (Jacklin is technically inside a Magic Object right now. The one fused to her Skin.)
FELIX: (But if all Magic Objects have someone inside then what does that mean for her.)
EVAN: (… Let’s keep quiet for now.)
VIVIAN: Black Demon with Yellow eyes huh. I’m not the only one then? I wonder if they can help me figure out this Ghost stuff.
EVAN: Considering you were a giant monstrosity before I arrived, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
JACKLIN: This sounds really bad. There might be a monster on the loose!

EVAN: Oh yeah. Right.

?: There they are.
?2: Wait, is that Evan over there?
EVAN: Ah fuck. They finally came down here.
*He quickly puts his Disguise back up in the Vault.
RENE: Seems like it’s time to go.
REGINALD: Hey don’t leave me here
*Rene takes out a Portal Key and rushes their Gang through it, and then immediately closes the Portal after.
EVAN: Hey wait! Shit! Felix you have the Portal Key right?
FELIX: Uh yeah I just
*He searches his pockets.
FELIX: Oh no. I left it in my other clothes.
VIVIAN: You gotta be kidding me.
EVAN: Alright guess we have to get out of here the old-fashioned way. RUN!

*They rush back up through the route Felix and Vivian took, to avoid the Police coming after them. Evan and Jacklin at the front and Felix and Vivian in the back, acting like they are chasing them too. They reach the outside, with Evan having to point his Shotgun at only a minimal number of people. They reach Felix’s car and get inside.
JACKLIN: Drive!
*Felix slams on the Gas pedal and drives off. Behind them some Police Officers are still on their Tail.
FELIX: I’m so getting fired for this. I can’t believe this.
VIVIAN: Don’t blame us. It was your idea.
*Evan is going through Felix’s clothes in the Back seat.
EVAN: Found it. Not enough space to use it in here though.
*They run into the Barricade. Felix stops the car before hitting it.
EVAN: What are you doing?! Run through it!
FELIX: What? No. Someone might get hurt.
*Officers are closing in on the car. Felix is hiding below the dashboard.
VIVIAN: Great. What now genius?
FELIX: Um, uhh, um.
*He has a Brain blast. He grabs the Key from Evan, opens the Car Door and opens a Portal immediately outside of it and then rushes through it. The clamber inside immediately after. Only one Policeman dares to jump in the Portal before it closes again.
