I just want everyone to know I fully thought this was max fosh for a hot second

I realized pretty quickly it’s wasn’t, but I also wouldn’t have been that shocked if he tricked someone into casting him in ghostbusters

[mattslolita]

 I keep on having this reoccurring idea for a fanfic and it is basically them filming a video and the video is titled “sorry Chris girls “ and it’s Chris and his girlfriend hard launching their relationship and I wanna do something with this idea but I’m very lazy so I’m not going to for at least another couple weeks 

OH MY FOSH OLEAS WRITE THIS IMMEDIATELY I BEG

[schoenpepper]

Binged Midnight Pumpkins and Mirrors along with the extras and now I am actively weeping.

Owie owie owie you are sick and twisted in the best possible way. TEH TEXTS OH MY GODA THE TEXTS GOT ME.

FREAKOMG OH MY FOSH EOUD

ACE AND DUECE TALKING ABOUT GRIM (idc what anyone says I LOVE HIM HE IS MY SONNNN) hit me hard. Then JADES OH MG GOSHHB

The last text he sends being I love you is absolutely diabolical work owjdjajaj coupled with floyds messages I’m inconsolable

AND OJ MY GOODNESS DIASOMNIA BOYS TEXTS— DROPPING TO MY KNEES. I love Sebek so much and just the last one being you were my friend is just dosjwjsi

THEN LILIAS AHHH AND MALS HELLOOO

I do this to myself I read ambiguous ending and angst in the warnings and still read it😔, in my head everyone is happy and able to visit each other like wdym Jade and reader aren’t chilling on the couch and just being domestic!! because they literally are (source: trust me🙏)

Everyday I learn I’m not strong enough for hurt no comfort content when objectively tamer stuff like this has me clutching my pears in aghast horror

Wonderful writing as always, I’ve been a bit of a silent follower so hopefully this ask doesn’t seem weird 😭 I just really needed to ramble because your mind— you crafted something wonderful but also something that HURTED ☹️☹️☹️

Is it sadistic to reply with "I'm happy it hurts!"? I feel like it is, but I really am happy 😭 Thank you so much for the feedback and support 🫶🏻

It's nice that I got the message I wanted across to my readers. And the extras were really fun to write because SMAUs aren't my usual jam, but I thought, I might as well do it as a treat for the follower milestone.

As for a happy ending, uh, there might be one? It was an open ending so I thought I might as well leave it at that, but I did get a request so 😰

I'll get it done tonight cause I feel kinda productive rn idk haha

Hey Jinx, was their a time you guys were having fun together? Maybe during the holidays or something?

@demon-blood-youths

"Huh? A time when we were having fun together as a fraction?" She asked thinking about it with her team relaxing and eating some home made ice cream since it was summer.

"Hmmmm, well we have plenty of times during the holidays and things. Though, it does remind me of one time when we all went to the beach together."

~~~~~~~~~

"Uggghhh why are we out here again? So hot.." Fosh whines but he was fanning himself while the guys were wearing swimtrunks or drinking some cold sodas.

"Oh come on, it's not that bad." Rex said while drinking a cold smoothie seeing the guys were already having fun or some out in the water.

"It's pretty nice. I guess this is a thank you after the last few things happening....even if I'm shocked Mr. Henderson gave us a private beach." Navarro grumbled.

"Again, it's not bad.....though..at least we have friends joining us!" Rust said seeing the Six claws, Yuji and some of his friends here too.

"Though, where are the girls?" Ren asked pushing up his glasses. They got their answer looking over near a volleyball court area. Most of the female members were changing into their own swimwear but should be back.

"They should be coming out soon.." Joshua said nervous but he was looking at a ice cream smoothing before...

"Hey guys! We got a volleyball and court at this private beach Mr. Henderson gave us. Isn't that cool!?" the six claws look up but when they did they spit their drinks out in shock.

"Uhhhh you guys okay?" Ink asked even if she was wearing a dark blue and grey swimsuit with her head tilted. The guys then saw the other female members in swimsuits too. Most or some talking while walking out or some wearing hats. Wow, they were cute!

"Uhhh guys? Hello? You good?" Ink said waving her hands in front of the six claws faces to snap them out of it.

"Ummmmmm.......were good." they said.

".....Okay but did you hear what I said. We got a volleyball court! We are gonna play some rounds if you wanna join!" she said smiling.

"....That sounds like fun!"

"Then come on! We were going to have guys and girls play!" she said happy.

~~~~~~~~

"Though, that ended when the game got serious..but still fun.." Jinx said.

"That's because you took it so serious the last time we went." Echo said.

~~~~~~~~

"DAMN IT JINX YOU SAID WE WERE TO HOLD BACK! YOU MADE A CRATER IN THE COURT!" Jinx winces from Echo shouting but she only blinks to laugh.

"Sorry I got excited! I love playing this game!" she pouts while looking over to see she was against the DBT or some that wanted to play this round.

"If your going to do that then at least try not to destory the field!" Echo shouted.

"I think we shouldn't keep holding back! It's not fun if we do!" Ink said pouting.

"Seriously!?" Navarro glares at her.

"Oh come on! It'll be fun! Everyone is having fun! So come on, lets go again!" Ink said to see her fraction is against the Cursed Vixens.

"Alright, Vivi's serve!" Jinx said as she was holding the ball but she was ready to serve it. As soon as she did, everyone saw the two fractions playing. A few did some passes, hits, and spikes before it ranked up.

Jinx jumps to spike the ball down to the DBT's side as the ball was coated in black flames. "HEADS UP!" she laughed spiking the ball down hard but Ink quickly slides in the side to kick the ball up.

"RUST!!"

"ON IT!" He said rushing to hit the ball up before he saw Ink get as he goes to spike it down harder.

The two teams were going all out even causing the beach to shake that the other fractions were watching in shock. They really were not holding back. Seeing the two hitting the ball trying to get a point since it's 24-30 right now.

Yuji was watching jinx playing in her black and purple flamed design bikini but she was having fun even going against Ink.

"Isn't Jinx awesome?" he said even with hearts over his head. The six claws were watching.

"Same with Ink too.." Bakugo said. "I bet she'll win this with her fraction." he said.

"I think Jinx and her team will but we will see." Yuji said seeing Megumi sitting by along with Kisho who was sitting by Nobara, Miko, Yuria, Maki and the others. They saw Melinda jump up to spike the ball but Jaron blocks to see it get spiked to the ground earning a point for the DBT.

"Nice one Jaron!" Maggie said.

"Thanks!"

"That was a good one! I'll get the next one, Jaron!" Melinda said but he was ready along with their fractions. The game kept going on for a while.

~~~~~~~~~

"The game was so much fun however, it got so intense we umm....well me and Ink accidentally set the court ablaze when trying to spike the ball back to back. Though, at least the beach was still good." she laughed.

"That's because you two burned the sand around you that it turned into glass." Vivi said seeing Jinx sweatdrop.

"Oh yeah.."

[demon-blood-youths]

Hey DBT! Did that really happen with Ink's sword!? Peahen mom wrote another drabble explaining the situation. :3

"Yes...." Shdwkyz sighs, "Ink's greatsword; Wyvern has a....way of being summoned by Ink. Wyvern leaves a trail of destruction on its path before hitting its wielder."

"I swear...that damn sword has a mind of its freaking own!" Navarro said.

"Glad I'm not the only one! Tell me about it!" Rust said while Oblivion sighed, shaking her head. "I had to explain to Yuuka that it happens every time when a fight or spar starts involving Ink." Oblivion said.

"Eyes?" Maggie blinked.

"Indeed. It seems like Wyvern is an extension of Ink's soul..." Hellmare said in thought.

"It's actually pretty aggressive when being summoned." Ophelia noted.

"Do you guys remember when we worked with the UA pro-heroes one time and Ink forgot her sword? The sword knocked out the villain before the fight started?" Rust said.

"Ugh...don't remind me! I have to explain to this! Hell even Henderson helped out us telling them." Fosh groaned.

"Or when Port Mafia called ADA where Wyvern almost destroyed one of their five buildings.. and wanted to know what's going on! They were pretty mad....I heard Matt helped us out when explaining to them that Wyvern does that often." Oblivion said. "Jaron... you told Dazai about it and he couldn't believe it. He actually laughs a lot hearing it?"

"No...that was two...or maybe three buildings..." Jaron recalled it. "Yeah....I told the ADA and Dazai laughed so hard that he almost died. Atsushi can't believe it."

"Ink is the best!" Gerald exclaimed happily. "Remember when Rin and Denji helped her out against a big bad feral demon and she summoned her sword. Denji got really mad at Wyvern as it knocked out Ink and Wyvern hit him too!" Everyone is silent hearing this.

"Holy shit! How many times has it been?" Rust asked.

"Oh, I got one! One time when Ink visited! I remember when Ink summoned her sword to defeat a cursed spirit and it bonked her on the end not before exorcising the spirit. Kinie Ger and Mister-um...." Taz can't say it, "Mister S can't believe it!" Taz laughed. "He even said Wyvern has a soul. Gojo laughed about it too."

"Too many times...to count." Shdwkyz sweatdropped. The DBT wonders...what makes Wyvern act like this.

The world will never know.

[demon-blood-youths]

"Der Doppleganger?" Navarro said. He looks at Vergil. "So it's a shadow clone but demon-looking?" Navarro questioned. "That's something Shdwkyz has." He said, looking to the side in thought. W-wait what was he doing?! He can't tell that to Vergil. Despite being saved, he doesn't know him well enough to tell him about his team's abilities. Although...

Navarro sweatdropped thinking Ink must have told Vergil of what her team is capable of. But Ink isn't that gullible. She prefers surprises as a way to surprise people. He knows Shdwkyz won't tell him. He's more of a show than tell.

Speaking of which, he can hear voices. The voices of his friends. Ink and Rust.

"From what Fosh told us...Navarro and Vergil would be at the end of the storm drain." Ink said.

"Outside of the city?! They could have gone out by now and somewhere on the streets of this place" Said Rust. "Also we gotta be careful, Ink. Who knows what pops out around here. We had to beat up two Commander Beasts at the same time and they ain't like the horse guy."

"Yeah that cat-maksed twins made it hard with their claws and stuff. We had to sync up to beat them." Ink said. Rust nods in agreement. "Yeah...I hope Navarro and Vergil didn't encounter one." Rust said.

"Hey Rust...from what those cats told us. We're getting in the way unless we're with those guys who stole something from them?"

"Must be HYDE pills? That's what Shdwkyz and Hellmare said on the comms. That has to be it, right? But ya have to have huge guts to steal somethin from a fraction like that. Even the Anthem Elite wouldn't want to mess with them." Said Rust.

Then they heard a sound making the teens jump. Something is coming out of the underground. Ink is readied her sword and Rust brings his fists up. The teens are up on guard. A manhole that is open where the cover is on the side.

"Get ready, Rust!" Ink said.

"Yeah!" Rust nodded. Then a head pokes out with angry green eyes, he blinks and shouts.

"YOU MORONS! It's ME!" Navarro shouted. Ink and Rust blinked dumbfounded and widened their eyes with smiles. "Navarro!" They went over to him.

"You're safe!" Ink said.

"Man! You found us!" Rust said as he helped Navarro out of the underground. Ink hugs her second-in-commander and then the stench of the waste water hits their noses. The dragon and the knight both flinched.

"Dude! What happened?! Did you swim through a sea of trash or some shit?!!" Rust holds his nose. Navarro retorts, "No! We had to fight a freaking Commander Beast that's a freaking alligator in the sewers."

"Wait for real?" Rust asked.

"For real!" Navarro confirmed.

"Navarro! Is Vergil with you? Is he okay?" Ink asked. Navarro nods. "Yeah! He's with me. Guy help me out a lot against Wade the gator. Saved my ass!"

Her men? Not only that....did she say Ultime-Volcano Mountain Trail?

Okay besides the name of a trail and the fact there is a volcano in this kingdom. The youth heard there were nine squads led by nine captains.

Mereleona Vermillion, of the Crimson Lions and House Vermillion.

Maggie widens her eyes at this revelation.

"Wait...you're a Magic Knight?!" Maggie asked. The redhead didn't expect to run into one so soon.

Not only that....House Vermillion? That's not a magic squad she heard of. Only Crimson Lions. Wait no. But then Maggie had to recall that there are royals in this place. Like straight out of a book fairy tale royal. Also, most of the captains are royals.

"Eh...um...name's Maggie."

What did Fosh tell her about the magic squads? They have unique characteristics. It's hard to define them but a few stand out to the fraction. The Golden Dawn is the best and strongest squad in the Kingdom. Silver Eagle is good at their jobs. Blue Rose is full of women. As for the rest, it's hard to categorize them so Fosh is still researching them. But Fosh did say that the Crimson Lions are famous for their fire mages.

"Maggie Fireleo."

Mereoleona would, indeed, be perfectly fine regardless of the heat. Being a user of fire magic herself helped in that regard. Sure, there were some people in her family who didn't actually use fire magic but for the most part they all did.

"Yup, there's a really nice hot spring I took my men to a while back. It's part of the Ultime-Volcano Mountain Trail. One of the best training grounds in the kingdom,"

She'd continue watching the younger woman train with her flames. It was nice to see that there were others who could not only handle but also wield magic as untamable as fire was. The heat, as she'd said, had little to no effect on her. She didn't even appear to be sweating.

"My name is Mereleona Vermillion, of the Crimson Lions and House Vermillion."

If Maggie knew anything about the 'houses' or the Magic Knights, she'd recognize both her last name, and the squad she named off. If not, she'd likely have more questions which was fine.

Hi Peahen mom,

I been curious about this DI5 infection au and from the last one I was wondering: What's the ??? infected. Are they dangerous?

((Hello anon dear, hope your well this evening. And you read the recent part I see. Well, true, their is a Redacted infected but yes, they are a lot more dangerous and very very unstable to be around. I could give you a small hint of what this monster is like so just a moment. And some known in this part belongs to my friend @demon-blood-youths ))

Silver butterfly mun/Peahen mom

"Any luck?" Mr. Henderson was standing in front of a tv screen seeing the hackers Fosh and Mouse along with Navarro and Echo there. Seems thanks to some work, he got through to at least someone. He was happy to know the others were still alive and surviving through the nightmarish NYC.

"We got some new information but it's from this old folder file that Mouse opened. We got more information about this infection to the demons." he said on the computer screen seeing the other three looking.

"Nice work. Thanks to this, we might get more information regarding the story to how this started. Right now, we are still processing the work on fixing a cure to treat anyone that was infected. Even with the many failure tests, we are not giving up. But is their a way for you guys to come to the main area where I am? The station? "he asked the group.

"We might be able to but after the infected adapted, it's been a lot more dangerous to travel now. So far, we can try again in a while or so. Though, not many infected are seen in this area." Navarro said while helping Echo sit down. She was tired but she was fine.

"I see. Well, even if you can be sure you keep on the move and keep a eye out for your fellow demons. They are alive out in NYC and outside too. We just need to figure out some plan to get everyone together."

He knew it was risky but he didn't want anymore innocent lives to be taken. Even with this monstrous infection. He saw one of the workers download the file thanks to Fosh sending it so they got a copy of the DI5 infection info.

"We know and we will. We just want to be sure our friends are safe out there. Who knows what might be lurking out there now?" Mouse didn't like to think about it but with so many new types, it's hard to say. For now, she hopes the others are safe.

"Well, for now you guys rest up. Just be careful." Mr. Henderson said before ending the call. Fosh, Mouse, Navarro, and Echo sighed knowing it was going to be hard to.

"Come on, lets just get some sleep. In the morning we will move to a new location. Alright?" Fosh saw the three nod before going to a room that was here but it had four bedrooms so it was fine. Right now maybe sleep will help them relax through this before doing just that.

So far, it seems like this night was quiet and everyone can rest up.

Or can they?

~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~

Jaron, Melinda, Rust, and Breezy were sleeping in their safe house right now in the dark. Jaron holding Melinda close against him so he won't lose her. Same with Rust hugging Breezy from behind while she and him sleep. Not many infected has showed themselves so maybe it was safe which explains them taking the time to rest and get some sleep.

But this was going to be stopped when the sounds of a ghoulish like hissing noise was heard, heavy footsteps, along with something scrapping against the floor. This noise woke Melinda up.

"..H..Hmm?" She slowly opens her silver eyes to shift in Jaron's arms. How long have they been asleep? She lost the time but slowly sits up to look left and right as Jaron's arms were lowered down carefully by her.

".......what was that scrapping noise?" she mutters sleepy trying to wake up as the noise still was heard. She carefully stood up to go check it out. She didn't wake the other three since they were just as tired. A quick peek should be fine. She only yawns quietly to check the window of the safe house. It was pitch dark out there but nothing seen moving in the darkness.

She blinks to adjust her eyes but looks confused. 'How strange. I could have sworn I heard something...' she thinks but maybe she was indeed hearing things. Shaking her head, she turns to head back to the others to get some sleep. However, that's when she heard the ghoul like hissing noise to make her stop.

"???" She looks behind her seeing the window but nothing was out there. "......" Okay, she heard something alright. Melinda slowly walks to the door but looks from the window.

"What is that noise? Am I hearing things now?" she said worried but looks away to hold her cheek. "Maybe I am. I mean we all are tired after what happened so many I'm wrong." she mutters to head back as well. However, as she did, she tenses hearing something. The loud footsteps to make her quickly look. Something was outside the safe house that she saw a big dark shadow that was moving along by the window.

Her silver eyes were wide seeing the shadow figure but quickly goes to wake the others so they can get out of here. However, the large shadow figure notices the safe house to smell at the door. A deep growl was heard smelling demons inside.

Melinda gets back to the others but quickly tries to wake them. "Guys...guys wake up. Wake up, we need to go...come on please wake up." she whispered worried that she sees the three stirring.

"H..Huh?? Melinda?" Breezy wakes up tired like but sits up with Rust waking up along with Jaron.

"Melinda, what's the matter-"

"Shhhhhhh.....not so loud. Theirs something outside the safe house."

"Something outside the safe house?" Jaron asked sitting up. "What do you mean? What did you see?" he asked.

"I don't know. It's pitch dark out there so I can't tell what it is. However, I get this feeling it's not human or a demon. It might be an infected..or a worse one. Even so, we should get out of here before it figures out how to get inside." she said.

"Woah woah easy...something is outside? Though...it seems like it's just......"

"You guys have to believe me on this. Something is outside. I couldn't see it but I got a bad feeling about what's lurking at the door." she tries to explain but when they asked, something shatters in the main hall of the safe house alarming them.

All four quickly sat up hearing that but right away, Jaron and Rust tense. This feeling..it was off. The smell from what it was a strong and heavy of blood and something worse. Right away the two quickly grabs Melinda and Breezy's hands to pull them away to rush to the back of the hideout.

The two wonder what was wrong only to see them get to the back of the hideout. The area was some hidden hallway as the two get the girls inside before going inside too. Right away, the four didn't do much but Melinda and Breezy looks worried. They can see Rust's red a glowing blood red and Jaron's own eyes glowing yellow but they were on guard.

"G...guys-"

"Shhhhh.." They gently hush them to look worried but whatever is going on, seems this thing was making them behave like it's not safe to do anything...whatever it was. The four didn't move but now they could hear the loud footsteps along with the scrapping noise along the ground. The thing was inside the hideout while looking around.

Rust looks but he already can tell this smell or scent from this thing smelled strong that it was telling him that they had to get out. Right now. This thing was dangerous. They needed to get out! He keeps Breezy close but she was confused wondering what it was.

The sound of footsteps were still heard before they grow louder to hear it must be inside the area of this hiding spot. Rust and Jaron didn't say a thing but they did get a quick peek to what the thing was. They were able to see it.

The uninvited guest was looked almost human like but not what you think. The thing was huge almost like it was indeed used to be demon or human but their body seems to have been forced through a growth spurts too many times. It's body didn't look natural anymore, more like it was mutated. The skin was heavily soaked in blood with tears in the skin leaking something racid on the floor of this hideout. It's muscles were huge but almost monster like while it was walking or limping slowly in the area. It didn't seem to have much hair given most of it seems to have been falling out showing some bold spots on it's head.

It's hands were showing the same talon nails but they grew to a larger length, fingers darkened by whatever it could be. Blood or something worse. It seems to be holding something but it's hard to tell. It was wearing torn up clothing or forced ripping clothing due to it's sudden change in body form. The head was bigger but it had sharp teeth with some being broken, some scars on it's face. The eyes were dark blue color. It's face seems messed up but it's able to see, smell, and hear still.

Rust and Jaron's eyes widen seeing the monster but they didn't make a single sound. Not one. This thing didn't look normal but maybe it's an infected. As for the thing it was carrying? It seems to be a hand made large made Axe with two of them being on either side of a street lamp metal pole. Now, it was groaning out trying to find food or to say uninfected or infected demons, humans, or whoever was alive. Looking left and right, it tries to find food walking along in the area where the four are hiding.

'O..Oh my god...w..what is that thing?' Breezy whispered seeing it a bit.

'I don't know but.....do you think it's another infected but a mutated one?' Melinda asked.

'I Don't know..but something is giving off bad vibes about this thing. We can't let it see us. We have to get out of here..' Jaron whispered back gripping the wall but Melinda saw his eyes looking at the thing. They showed anger, fear, worry, and......disturbance. Whatever this thing is.....their was something well known:

They needed to get. out.

'How do we get out without it noticing us?' Melinda whispered.

'....I think theirs a back door in the safe house. If we head there, we can get out without being spotted.'

Though, they had to be very quiet, seems like this thing can hear pretty well since it's able to see in the dark better.

For now..they had to move. Being quiet, the four slowly tries to hurry to the exit of this place away from the thing roaming the inside of this not safe anymore safe house. They had their things so it was fine as they quickly head down the hall in the back away from it. As they were moving, the thing was smelling the area looking for food but that's when it noticed a pile of blankets. It tilts it's head, walking over but sees the same ones that Melinda, Rust, Jaron, and Breeze were resting at.

Bending down, he grabs a few but takes a long smell from it. Seems like someone was just here making the thing like ghoul groan again hearing it's stomach. This smell.....it was another demon. It keeps smelling the blanket snorting as well before it looks to smell the air again trying to get a sense of direction.

It a minute, it looks in the south direction but grips the blanket growling.......it might have found the delicious scent. Uh oh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the back, Jaron and Rust leads the way but saw another room or area but they knew this had to have a hidden exit.

"I think we can get out of here from here. Just have to find the door first." Jaron said to the group seeing everyone looking relieved. They can get out before that thing finds them.

"Come on, lets hurry and get out of here." Rust said wanting to get away from that thing as quick as possible. The four walks ahead trying to find the exit to the safe house. They were so close to being free. However, now they were worried about that thing and could their be others?

"Come on, lets hurry and-"

Suddenly, something smashes through the wall knocking it down as everyone moves back seeing it. Their was some coughing heard only for the four to hear some groaning noises to make them tense. Slowly, they look seeing it was that thing again!

It looks around smelling the air again but it seems the smell was here....and it's coming from Breezy and Melinda. Growling at the two, both women were ready to fight as it roars charging suddenly at the two.

"OH NO YOU DON'T YOU FUCKING MONSTER!" Right away, something sucker punched the thing in the face as it tries to grab the two but the girls gasped seeing this.

"Rust!" Breezy goes to help him but saw the monster groaning feeling more punches to it's face and body before grabbing the iron blood knight.

"!?" Right away, Rust struggles in it's hold only to feel it now start to crush him in it's giant hand.

"GAhhaaa!!" It's grip was pretty strong! It was crushing his bones! "Damn it let go!" He said trying to hit it's face in order to try making it let him go. However, it was taking the punches like nothing. It just gets a hit only to grow more and more annoyed with Rust. He was ruining it's change to get food! It was hungry and he knew it was infected so it wouldn't make it full.

Looking at Rust landing another punch, it tightens it's grip around his body seeing the blond wincing. This monster's grip was no joke and it was only squeezing harder and harder as Rust winces worse. Their was blood even starting to show from his chin.

"Hey, let him go you jerk!" That's when something lands to kick the thing in the chest as the ghoul groans out from the kick seeing Breezy that hit it. Growling, he swings it's arm at her only to see her duck trying to hit him and make him let go of Rust who was twitching from the grip getting tighter and tighter.

"Rust hold on!" Jaron said going to try to help but he could try to get the thing to let him go. As Breezy was trying to help free him, it swings it's arm again right at her!

"?!?"

"Breezy watch out!" Rust said seeing it's arm about to hit her only for it to stop in mid air.

"????" It looks confused seeing it's body covered in some silver aura. It tries to move but couldn't getting more annoyed but saw how did it. Melinda was trying to hold it still so Jaron can try to get it to let go of Rust as Breezy keeps attacking using wind gust like kicks trying to injure it.

'Damn it, this thing's skin is tough. Even so, I have to help them so it can let Rust go!' she thought seeing Rust shaking now but he keeps trying to hit the thing that was holding him.

"Just hold it still Melinda!" Jaron said before looking at the thing holding his friend before his eyes begin to slow to look right at the thing, a mist slipping past his lips. Melinda knew he was using Silver tongue trying to get in control of it and make it drop him.

Of course the monster groans bleeding from the attacks they landed on it. Now it was growling, just starting right at Jaron.

"Drop him right now." he said the command seeing the monster groaning out still as it's grip still was tight around his teammate. Rust was panting having trouble breathing a little due to the tight grip.

"I said drop him!" he said again but it still was struggling like it was overcoming his silver tongue!? In that moment, the thing was starting to struggle as Melinda winces feeling it was trying to move.

"I..It's trying to fight out of my hold! I don't know if I can hold it!" she warns seeing Breezy still trying.

"Just hold on Melinda! You too Jaron!" Breezy said as she tries to kick the thing in the face again. In that moment, the thing only roars out as it shatters free from Melinda's hold. Her eyes widen in shock as it quickly threw Rust to the side only to see him crash into the wall destroying a desk.

It breaks from Jaron's hold as it roars at him as it was about to hit him but it's face was kicked in again only to see Breezy aim another kick to it's face. However, it grabs Breezy before throwing her to the side right through the window into another hallway.

"Breezy!" As Melinda tries to help her it swats her next right into the wall hard as it sees her crash to the ground on her side showing her wincing. Rust and Breezy were wincing as well before lifting it's giant axe ready to kill the two. Jaron tries to help but got hit away again right near Rust who winces as well.

However, it walks over to look at the two girls that had the smell of food coming from them. It reaches to grab them by the ankles, pick them up and take them away to be eaten!

"NO!" right away, he summons the pack as the spiritual jackals howls. "Stop him from taking the girls, quickly!" he said but sees the three rushing to the monster as it was about to eat both Melinda and Breezy.

It's monster like mouth opens wide showing the broken and some sharp teeth ready to bite into them before it got attacked by the jackals. Thanks to this, it drops the two who crashes to the ground wincing in pain as the monster was swinging it's axe at them.

It howls out annoyed, trying to attack the jackals but they were trying to lead it away from the group. Right away, Jaron rushes to help Melinda who was laying on the ground.

"Melinda! Melinda, hey come on...wake up!" he said but saw she was knocked out. Shit! He sees Rust coughing but spits blood out wincing before looking around. He can hear things being destroyed in the other room.

"B..Breezy?...Breezy, where are you!?" Rust said only to see her hand but gets up to quickly rush to her wincing in pain. That damn thing had some grip. He sees she was knocked out as well bleeding from her side and head. The guys had to get them out of here before that monster comes back.

Right away, Jaron picks up Melinda and Rust picking up Breezy. They needed to get out before that thing comes back! The two heard some things being smashed and broken before Jaron snaps his fingers calling the three back.

"Lets get out of here!" he said hearing the monster roaring out mad before the guys quickly rushes out of the safe house and to the outside. They run away carrying the two girls but they made sure they stayed away from the darker parts on the street. However, now Jaron and Rust were worried; Melinda and Breezy were hurt. They knew they would heal but it depends on how long. For now, they needed to get away from that thing but they worry if more of them were out there. They didn't need to find out.

~~~~~~~1 hour later~~~~~~~~

"Okay...I think I got all the blood off." Rust was holding a wet rag with some of Breezy's blood on it but she was laying down on a bed along with Melinda resting in one. They were able to find another safe house but the two were resting up now.

Jaron was keeping a eye out but he was also cleaning Melinda up from her own blood. The two were quiet but wondering what the heck that thing was. It wouldn't get effected from what they did but that was bad.

"......Jaron, what the hell was that thing? No matter what we did...it wouldn't go down like that. Is that some sort of new mutation?" He asked but Jaron was quiet.

"...Maybe. Even knowing it's not normal. That thing broke free from my silver tongue and Melinda's telekinesis. It wasn't even fazed by your punches or Breezy's kicks. That thing...it was a lot more stronger than the other infected we seen." he said.

"I know that...but still......that was way too close. Guess their is a lot more dangers we don't know about...even now." he said and yet Rust saw the look in his eyes, knowing Jaron nor he liked this. Whatever happened it almost took the girls and could have done who knows what. That worried him that his eyes glowed looking worried.

"......."

"Jaron..."

"*Sighs* For now, we should be safe...but we'll have to be sure to keep a eye out in case that happens again. I Just hope it won't." he said.

"Though their is one thing....."

"Hmm?"

"What if 'it' hits us.....I worry we might end up feeding off of them if they are...." Rust didn't want to do that if Breezy is knocked out but Jaron felt the same. They would have to wait till they wake up but who knows how long that's going to be.

"Well have to fight through it. No matter what, we need to be sure they are safe and healing up. They should heal thanks to their demon blood running through their veins but they need time." he mutters looking at Melinda touching her cheek.

"For now, we need to be sure they are alright. I can send a radio message to the others to give a heads up about what happened and of that thing. For right now, we just need to keep a eye on the two till they wake up. We can't let them get taken by any means." Jaron said but Rust understood.

For right now, the guys keeps watch this time but hopes Melinda and Breezy are alright. For now, seems something more dangerous lurks here in NYC but it also seems it's not just here. As more danger looms, it was only a matter of time till it came to this.

A new threat has arisen and now things have gotten harder.

[demon-blood-youths]

Yikes. o.o

Well, at least he isn't doing anything worse i..is he?

Second, I get the feeling Willow is a lot more pissed off..judging from her flames but she's been quiet for a while now. I hope she's alright. Second, I don't know if Bradley will stop. He's that desperate to try asking them again to be his girlfriend. He almost sounds like a Yandere.

Ethan sighs, "She is." He sighs. "I had to comfort her telling her that he will be taken care of. I heard that Bradley was following that other man I know of. Mineta Minoru. I never thought there was someone besides him being so bold about doing such perverted things."

"I guess you didn't hear about what happened in Japan. Apparently, those two idiots messed with a demon fraction in Nagoya." Said Shdwkyz.

"Nagoya?" Rust blinked "Where's that?"

"A city in another prefecture, Aichi. It's like four hours away from Tokyo. Two hours if you take a train there. One hour if you take a bullet train." Said Fosh. "I do hear of a faction living there. They are called Demons of Oda."

"Yes." Shdwkyz confirms, "Those guys framed the fraction for going into Jujutsu High campus taking girls' private undergarments by placing one of their armbands with their crest on it." He said.

"Holy shit....and how did Taz and everyone deal with that," Navarro asked.

"Taz said it wasn't them due to the scent. The demons, by the way, the faction has human members so it's hard to tell. But Taz picks up Mineta so they thought Mineta was working for them until one of the girls from the faction was kidnapped. They tracked them down and overheard that they framed them so the two groups can fight." Shdwkyz said, remembering what Taz told him.

"Well dang..." Jaron said. Shdwkyz nods, "Taz said that they were beaten, caught, and handed over to the fraction. Mineta and Bradley are doing hard labor as their punishment."

"Oh yeah! Gerald told me those guys won't hand Mineta to UA over till he serves his time for one month." Rust said, hearing Gerald is now enrolling at UA to get help with his super strength.

[demon-blood-youths]

If only Vergil knew that Fosh's main go-to when hacking computers is mostly coffee. Lots of lattes and macchiatos when he gets stressed! He needs a lot of caffeine so he won't burn himself out. Vergil is not wrong when it comes to a suicidal diet.

"No way! You will be good at it! You're the guy who says things that need to be heard! People love serious guys on the judging panel!" Ink said. Though her friends would think that Vergil's constructive criticism would make any chef piss their pants while hoping and praying for a good score on their dish.

Moving on! Their topic shifts to fractions and her home, Wyckoff. However, the mood shifts quickly in a moment when Vergil mentione d something about the Lovely Horrors.

I am marginally acquainted with the name of the Lovely Horrors,

Ink paused for a minute when Vergil said that he said that he is marginally acquainted with the Lovely Horrors. What does that mean? Is Vergil familiar with the Lovely Horrors? Ink looks at him with an unreadable expression as if she is thinking on what to say.

“ They have reportedly gained a considerable amount of repute by means of malefic deeds. ”

After he said that, Ink replies, "That's them..." Ink said with a nod. There is no smile nor any emotion. Just a blank face. She shifts her eyes to her yogurt."These guys are strong and really....dangerous. After a big battle, I heard they stay in the woods and kept to themselves most of the time." Ink said, rubbing her neck once more before looking over to Vergil. "Their leader is pretty strong. Really strong as me." She said, leaving it at that. She could explain more but she didn't want to ruin the mood. This isn't the right time to tell a story. A long and crazy story!

Plus it's lunchtime!

Besides...what's more important...is Wyckoff.

“ This island of Wyckoff you forementioned, might it be located in the Mediterranean coastal regions? ”

Ink takes a sip of her soda before blinking. "Uh....urm..." Ink looks confused by the question. Mediterranean coastal regions? She tries to think very hard.

"Uhhh....I don't get it. I mean Wyckoff is in New York waters..." Ink said. Mediterranean? Isnt't that...like Greece? Or Italy?

'𝑻𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒅 to add honey in lieu of sugar into teas and various manner of beverages and sweet courses alike for those who were concerned of their health stature. Owing to that fact, it was only natural for Ophelia as Ink's resident healer as much as Jaron was their chef, to go for a healthier option such as honey instead of sugar. As for Fosh, whom he recalled as a skittish artisan of... technology (?) of their fraction, the youth did seem to resemble the quintessence of youthful inclination toward the less conservative diet. Not that he judged the young man, especially when he himself had to tolerate a pizza junketeer of a brother. He was certain that Fosh possessed a far less nonsensical stance upon the matter, compared to Dante's... well, suicidal diet.

The recollection also reminded him of his impromptu tea time with the two mses of DBT, the while engaging their resident strategist, Hellmare, in an intellectual duel that was chess.

'𝘛𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, Vergil couldn't but admit it inwardly. What started as a consternation of having to spend time with what he initially believed was a rambunctious lot of teenagers, and did feel like that during the first half of his stay (courtesy of manmade obscenity that was video game), had ended in an unexpected acquaintanceship based upon mutual respect and fascination.

𝘈𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, he reminded himself. 𝘐𝘯𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱.

"Vergil, you should be a food judge on a cooking show, you know."

Once again, the son of Sparda tilted his chin up, evidently preened in his demoiselle's stellar assessment of his character and skill. His grey eyes shimmered with fondness with a smug stretch upon his lips.

�� Your high opinion upon my culinary prowess is most laudable, Ink. ” His prideful tone receded a mite at her name to allow adoration to tone in. “ Though such a stature tends to inevitably detract the fun accorded to such a competition. ”

A pause as Vergil sipped his tea, his eyes fixed at Ink but the glint of rivalry within were not meant for her.

“ Certain chefs, withal, must be honored by means of a just competition in lieu of judgement. ”

By all means, should Jaron prove to be capable of discerning ingredients from the similar manner, it would only serve to highlight his culinary merit in the cambion's eyes, which consequently also nominated him higher in Vergil's mental list of top tier competitors. All the same, by the aegis of Ink's favor (?) and presence this afternoon had earned him the advantage of knowing his demoiselle's preference, notwithstanding the variety. That allowed him to come closer to Jaron's level when it comes to knowing Ink's culinary partiality.

 𝘠𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦, 𝘑𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘯, 𝘩𝘢!

The Darkslayer of the culinary realm set aside his burning rivalry of motivation to refocus on the subject upon their table.

" Yes, but we don't take control of any turfs in NYC since my friends live all over the borough. But we live in a place called Wyckoff we named it ourselves. The island had an old name but I can't remember it and doesn't sound cool. An island that is near almost all of the boroughs...I think." 

Wyckoff, he tucked the name in his mental note. An island with an old name, she said? That reminded him of an ancient island said to be located on the coast of America. What are the odds that they are one and the same?

"There's barely any fractions in Brooklyn but nothing major like the other fractions. But we usually hang out there and Kali tells us to check on it once in a while if something comes up."

Ah, that would explain the residency complex of the DBT fraction that he had visited in the past. 𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘯��𝘦𝘻𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘤 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨.

With these fractions, the demons are born and raised there, knowing the people and things there and wanting to protect them. What they cared about are what bridges humans and demons together when it comes to family, common interests, and struggles.

What an idyllic state of co-existence, one that none other than his own sire, the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, had long envisioned yet never quite actualized due to his untimely demise. Yet his vision, his legacy lived on in the very existence of his seeds, forevermore dual in their nature, man and demon. Yet here was where the similarity ended, for instead of bridging their difference, both he and Dante had spent a lifetime attempting to suppress either of their duality. He with his humanity and Dante with his demon, both sons of Sparda favoring their respective nature of their duality, and it was only recently that both of them had begun to bridge the difference by attempting to come to terms with their respective nature they considered a hindrance. In that sense, his son Nero was more of a realization to Sparda's dream of coexistence. And yet, Ink and these fractions she enumerated had achieved more progress on the matter.

To say that he was intrigued was an understatement.

"But besides that, we also know fractions out of state."

Vergil inclined his head, a non-verbal encouragement for Ink to carry on.

"Just two! There's Ethan Gaol in Philly, Pennsylvania with his Active Seeker Tribe, he's smart like you, Vergil, and very serious!"

At the claim that someone else was his alike in temper, to Ink moreover, a scant knitting appeared upon his snowy brows, indicating a mild disrelish at the concept of someone else could come close to him in impression to his demoiselle. But it did not go further than that, for many things he raised disapproval for, but facile rivalry over someone whom he never encountered was not one of them

"There's one in New Jersey." The brief pause prompted his eyes to narrow again, as the discomfiting sensation from earlier had returned. "Uhhhh...Matt and The Lovely Horrors."

Lovely Horrors. The moniker sparked a recognition stronger than the rest and his grey-eyes twitched to bespeak it. He recalled the seemingly unholy name of the fraction mentioned by, again, Dante's colleague and broker, pertaining to a case of manmade experiments carried out in illegal proceedings. Granted it did not bother him then, the political drama in humanity's bureaucracy never intrigued him.

“ I am marginally acquainted with the name of the Lovely Horrors, ” Vergil began in a quiet, steady tone, something in him told him that unlike the previous fractions mentioned, this one held an unpleasant weight in his demoiselle's conscience. “ They have reportedly gained a considerable amount of repute by means of malefic deeds. ”

Silence fell as the cambion took the opportunity to observe Ink's facial expression in response to his awareness of that particular fraction, thereafter he added, “ This island of Wyckoff you forementioned, might it be located in the Mediterranean coastal regions? ”
