[hr][center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/1tJdWt7.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/dIfRnRE.png[/img] [b][code]From Tampa to Miami.[/code][/b][/center][hr] After Emily was done getting over the shock of almost getting her face blown off by... that cowboy, she realized that Penny was being held up by a different moron with a shotgun. Penny should have realized that this bullshit happens [i]hourly[/i] in Florida and let things run their course. Was she really [i]delusional[/i] enough to think that she can stop [i]everything[/i]? Emily didn't know. What she [i]did[/i] know was that she was gonna bite this dumb blonde bimbo's head off for almost getting her killed! She couldn't do that if the bitch's dead, now can she? Of [i]course[/i] the Coven was standing around slack-jawed (as [i]always[/i]). Claudette fell for Grace's joy buzzer and Emily made a note not to touch her ([i]Heh, maybe Quinn's into getting electrocuted[/i]). Isla was oblivious, and everyone else was fucking around outside. So it seems it's Captain Emily to the rescue! Okay, so Emily had no clue how her brand new abstraction works... of course, she wasn't going to sit around being useless now that Babylon was gone. This was what people like Molly and Ellie were talking about when they said that she was worthless without her. She wasn't going to go out like the rest of the Coven, or their little deserters, however. She was going to prove to them that she was the queen bitch of the Coven and everyone here can kiss her ass! She stuck all ten of her fingers out towards the cashier and the green tethers of magical power extended from them. Emily's [i]plan[/i] was to snatch the shotgun from out of his hands or break the shotgun. All the tethers wrapped around the shotgun and it was perfect! Emily, without another thought, made the tethers clasp down on the shotgun... [h2]"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"[/h2] Blood went everywhere as the shotgun was sliced to bits... as well as the poor cashier's fingers. Emily's eyes went wide open as the gun was sliced like a sausage and the cashier fell to his knees screaming all sorts of obscenities. Well, at the very least... ... Emily stopped him from shooting Penny. That has to account for [i]something.[/i] It was time to get the fuck out of here - it was just a thought. So, without another one, Emily grabbed as much M&M's as she could and hauled ass out of the door. The rest of these [i]sluts[/i] can sit around if they want to, but Emily was [i]definitely[/i] not going to be some prison slut's bottom! As much as she hated it, Emily went right back to Maya's car. [sup][sup][sup][sup]And someone grabbed Claudette off-screen and Madison cut and run.[/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup] [hr][center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/nn5VWsV.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/XRra6ku.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/y8f0UJw.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/H9epPjR.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/1tJdWt7.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/dIfRnRE.png[/img] [b][code]Welcome to Miami[/code][/b][/center][hr][center][hider=Breton - Episodes][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0_cRc-5vSM[/youtube][/hider][/center][hr] "Um..." Claudette said as she groggily returned to consciousness. She found herself slipping into her native French language as she spoke, "[i]What happened?[/i]" She grabbed her head as she tried to recollect what happened. "... Holy shit, Claud," Madison said as she looked in the backseat. "You're awake! I thought for a second you died on me there, sis." "I'm alive it seems," Claudette answered as she attempted to fix her hair in vain. She was briefly startled by the fireworks exploding in the night sky and she realized that she was out for a [i]while[/i]. The fireworks were beautiful, even if Claudette herself never got the idea of the fourth of July. "... We're in Miami." "Yes, sis," Madison said, "Almost there, matter of fact." "Excellent," Claudette said as she watched the fireworks and lost herself... and didn't realize quite a bit of time had passed and she had finally arrived at their hotel room. The Doubletree by Hilton... not a five-star hotel like some of the girls were expecting but it was nice and subtle at the same time! They could pass as a bunch of girls partying in Miami! They got out, checked in, and realized that some of them will have to be sharing rooms. [hr][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/g12KT9S.png[/img] [b][code]Annabelle's Lair.[/code][/b][hr][hider=Ghostpoet - Nowhere to Hide Now][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY9XPi5ylfg[/youtube][/hider][hr][/center] Annabelle Heart marched her way through the woods... forgetting about the robe and deer skull and merely dragging her feet until she reached her destination. Her feet weren't the only thing that she was dragging and she was dragging the mutilated corpse of a Forgiven. It wasn't long until she just... fell apart in her hands and then she continued sauntering through the woods. She made it back to her lair, a ruined mansion in the woods that was [i]normally [/i]infested with the other people that have been infected with the hunger. However, they were missing and Annabelle barely paid them any mind when they [i]were[/i] here. They probably went off to eat somebody or something, but Annabelle had more than enough violence to sate her. When she pushed open the gates, Sophia was right there waving at her with a smile. "Annabelle!" Sophia cheerily said, "You're back! I got a new game to play!" Annabelle shook her head as she continued walking until she was in arm's reach of Sophia - who quickly grabbed onto her clawed hand. "Let's go inside to our usual spot!" The afflicted girl allowed her "little sister" to lead her back inside the mansion they've been inhabiting for a while now. The rampages have been slowing down considerably, as Annabelle's been stopped by Sophia. Maybe she was trying to delay the inevitable. Maybe... "... Sit down," Sophia said but Annabelle's eyes landed on a particular sight right above her head. A strange device made out of blocks that were green with lots of wires... [b][code]C4 HIGH EXPLOSIVE[/code][/b] "I'm sorry big sis," Sophia said as she disappeared, "... It's better this way." That was before all the explosives that were planted around the house exploded one by one, by one, creating a cacophony of destruction. In an instant, the house was in flames as Annabelle was blown to bits. She screamed at the top of her lungs. [hr] From the distance, Meifeng Liao stared at the destruction through binoculars in one hand, and a detonator charge in her other hand. She couldn't believe that Apparition wasn't lying! Annabelle Heart was probably still alive but at least they had a chance to slow that bastard down. She lowered the binoculars as she dropped the detonator and pressed her earpiece. "Helena," Meifeng said. "Get the nets ready." "The Flock's moving!" Helena said as a swarm of glowing blue transparent birds came out of her body and nearly blotted out the sky with how numerous they were. They were carrying nets, cables, and other bindings, and stretched them wide. "Sonya," Meifeng said, "You know what to do." In the distance, Sonya was hopping from tree to tree in her half-frog form with Maria dashing from place to place as a blob of ink. She stopped as she finally reached the top of the hills and got a good view of the place. She quickly pulled out her Barrett M82A1 from her back and aimed it at the building as Maria pulled out her binoculars. Annabelle's shriek could be heard as she charged out of the burning ruin in flames... her body was repairing itself to the best of her ability but that was a [i]hit[/i]. Annabelle fell to her hands and knees as she was regenerating [i]fast[/i]. "Got visual on 'er!" Sonya whispered into the microphone as she aimed down the sights and put it on her center of mass. "Take the shot." "Roger," Sonya pulled the trigger and the bullet put a hole through her center of mass and Annabelle screamed in pain as the birds got the first net around Annabelle. They tightened it as Annabelle yanked at it, and she received yet another bullet from Sonya. "It's going time," Meifeng looked at Trevor as she hopped into the DENS SUV with Cindy already inside of it. They drove fast they could through the gates and came to a swerving stop right at Annabelle. This was now or never as Trevor focused on Annabelle and right when she noticed them... she broke out into a laughter fit and couldn't do anything except for fall over. Cindy focused as jagged glass spikes erupted from the ground and impaled Annabelle... before she got another round. Meifeng, in this time, had opened the back of the truck and it revealed several [i]jagged[/i] harpoons with long chains around them. Using her abstraction she sent them flying at Annabelle and each of the five spears impaled Annabelle and the chains wrapped themselves around her limbs. Before they attached themselves to the nearby trees or solid fixtures. At this point, Helena's birds had returned and then dropped yet another net on the monster. Before she was completely immobilized... "... Just what I thought," Meifeng said as she stood on top of the beast. "She can't regenerate if she has something obstructing her." "What do we do now?" Trevor asked as he focused on her to cockblock any attempts to break free. "Call Director Alcott and see what she advises next..." Meifeng said, "We can maybe toss her down into the Pit and make her their problem." "Sophia..." Annabelle hissed to herself as the rage built up. [i][h1]"... SOPHIA!"[/h1][/i] And then it was followed by a hellish, ear-piercing scream that shattered the glass that was binding her and stunned the Flock. The three DENS agents covered their ears out of sheer pain before the hellish scream resided... honestly, they couldn't hear anything. "What the fuck?!" Trevor shouted, "Bitch made me deaf!" "You okay there?" Sonya asked over the comms, "That look like it... hurt." "What?!" Trevor shouted into the comms. However, little did they know... the other people that Annabelle infected with the Hunger came charging back from whatever they were doing in the woods. The infectees were running on all fours like animals and coming right back to defend their master. The first person to take notice of them was Sonya. "Huh?" Sonya's superior hearing allowed her to pick up that something was coming. She quickly pressed her earpiece as she said, "Something is-" She heard a roar over her shoulder as one of the chalk-white creatures lunged through the air at them. Sonya rolled off to the side as Maria turned into a puddle of ink and dodged. Sonya pulled out her pistol and began blasting at the creature but she didn't notice the second one. It lunged at her from behind and began tearing away at her neck and Sonya screamed as she was being ripped apart. "Sonya!" Maria shouted as she charged at the creature, turning into a whip of ink... before one of those freaks charged at her and grabbed her organs in her ink form. Maria was shifted back into a humanoid form as she screamed as the creature ripped her apart. "Meifeng!" Sonya screamed into the comms as she was ripped to screams. "I-" The creature tore her head off and they went to feast on her remains. "Sonya! Maria!" Meifeng shouted over the comms as she looked at their position and then she noticed that the horde of monsters was here. "Fuck." Meifeng pulled out her pistol before she began shooting at them. Helena had commanded the flock to begin ripping away at their bodies and keeping them off of her. While Cindy was using her glass summoning ability to impale them and cut them to pieces. Trevor was sticking to Meifeng and attempting to use his abstraction to stun one while he shoots another. However, they went over to Annabelle and began ripping out the harpoons and untying her from the nets and chains. Annabelle managed to get free as she tore the rest of them out of her body on her own and the wounds that they left regenerated. She turned towards Meifeng's group with ravenous eyes. She shrieked as she launched herself at them... before she broke out into a fit of laughter. "What do we do?" Trevor asked. "Helena!" Meifeng shouted, "Get us out of here." "On it!" Helena said as the Flock went from attacking Annabelle's minions to grabbing onto them. They latched on and began lifting them off the ground high up from their control. They feared that Annabelle would go after them... however, she ran off into the treeline as they got away. Meifeng sighed. "Son of a bitch!" She hissed as she realized she's now down two Agents. Two Extra-Normal agents at that.

We're in Miami, there's always something to do. If you're going to do something stupid; make sure it can't be traced back to us at the very least.[/code][/b][/quote] And keep herself occupied Madison planned on doing. The Doubletree by Hilton was attached to the Miami Merchandise Mall, which meant they didn't have to go far for entertainment. That entertainment was [i]shopping[/i]. Now, Madison wasn't super big on meeting a shady black market organization... but Madison fully trusted Kimberly and her judgment. Even if there was that [i]subtle[/i] suspicion of her playing both sides with the Vashti conflict. Even though she was trying her best not to worry about [i]that[/i] bitch. Not like she was here or anything, but if all things go well, that little attention whore will get rid of her lizard STD and then she'll be on her way. Though, there was that creeping suspicion that Vashti, for whatever [i]stupid[/i] reason, would stick around with the Coven... ... which was why Madison was never giving up the Jaws ever again. However, the Merchandise Mall was everything that Madison could have wanted out of a Miami mall and [i]more[/i] Stores, food, entertainment! And Madison was going to hang with the only member of the Coven that she fucked with: Grace. She was taking a liking to the gal ever since the yacht adventures and the CTF game. Maybe Grace talking her into staying had endeared her to Madison. Or maybe she just liked her. Either way, they were going to the clubs and like hell, Madison was gonna let Grace dress like a rich grandmother! Madison came out of the dressing room wearing her [i]proposed[/i] nightclub outfit [url=https://i.etsystatic.com/11502736/r/il/c1fa24/2333385350/il_794xN.2333385350_y2rm.jpg]a purple minidress[/url]. She walked out with a wide smile, presenting it to Grace as she struck a pose. Hands-on her hips and her head was turned and she had to resist breaking out into laughter at how goofy she probably looked. "What do you think?" Madison said, "I'll have to wear this thing without a bra!" She gestured at how visible and distracting the straps were.
