Town Hall.
The mayor exhaled.
"It's pointless," He started, "Not just because the thing gets out regardless of what you all do; but because it's already in your-"
An arrow cut through the air at lightning speeds, so fast that nobody had time to react. The mayor's final words were cut painfully short when an arrow hit him square in the eye and he fell forward. Lynette let out a shriek as she whipped around to see a bright purple portal and a large group of people walking out of it. They were all wearing intricate robes similar to those in the portals. The person in front was wielding a dagger, while the rest were using medieval weaponry. She looked at the group head on as Britney narrowed her eyes as she hissed.
"Amethyst..." Britney's abstraction activated immediately and thick vines had already dropped from her hands and quickly traveled throughout the room. She can't keep them alive for long, but she has an idea. "Guys, whatever you do; don't let her get in your head!"
The woman muttered a few words in a different language that was completely identifiable - it seemed to be a mish-mash of different languages. Before she chuckled as she said, "Oh, forgot we were in Shimmer. Ha. But, hello my name is Amethyst, and these are my men and women - the Watchers... I'll be quick since we are short on time..."
Amethyst shook her head, "... You all should be the ones that should be worried about
this traitor." The purple-robed lady said as she lifted her dagger at Britney. "I bet, by now, she has given you a thousand speeches filled with lives and drivel - all to manipulate you towards her goals."
"Shut up!" Britney shouted as the vines took the shape of thick drills all aiming towards the group. However, one of the members wielding a sword wearing a bright red robe swung his sword outwards and created a wall of flames that forced Britney to stop in her tracks. She had to cut her loses and separate the burning parts of her vines from the rest before the fire spreads. However, the wall of flames vanished.
The boy in the robe lifted his hood and it revealed a fair featured Asian male, "Allow lady Amethyst to speak!"
"How I know this? I've been working with this girl since we were both young! She comes from a long line of power-hungry schemers and manipulators."
"And you aren't? Glint is full of them!" Britney said.
"Typical
Alhudaybi girl," Amethyst said, "She has probably manipulated you all into thinking that I was the enemy? That the Watchers were going to kill you all and take your abstractions? Silly, she was supposed to arrange a meeting between the two of us so we can make a plan to kill the Glutton... isn't that right, Sharon?"
The spotlight was on the Reid girl, who was quiet the whole time as she was turning into her bugs...
There are people at both exits. She noted to herself, she didn't want to give up this card just yet. Especially since the group still had one exit they
didn't cover. "... That is correct." Sharon merely looked at Britney.
"I would say you're doing a lot of good to redeem your bloodline, but you are still following her, oh well, "Amethyst shook her head. "It's neither here nor there, because I implore you, at the bottom of my heart - to leave this traitor."
Britney shot a finger at the Watcher, "If I didn't betray them we all would have been dead by then."
"Correction; if you didn't betray us, none of this would have happened." Amethyst smugly said as she lowered her weapon. "Because, as you may have been informed; John Reid was the most powerful being in the town, so powerful in fact that even the
Glutton was afraid of him."
Sharon was intrigued, and she was probably listening to Amethyst the most intently of them all.
"However, this bastard, in an attempt to get that power killed him and woke it up!" Amethyst screamed at the top of her lungs and Sharon was dead silent. "She didn't even get his power! She couldn't handle it! This is all her fault!"
"Wait, what?" Sharon asked with a raised eyebrow, "How did his death wake it up!? That... I... that doesn't make any sense!"
"But it's what happened!" Amethyst said, "Think about the timing!"
Lynette was taken aback... she didn't know John Reid, but she heard from Kimberly and Jordan that Britney disappeared for a bit while at the camp. Right before Reese went on his rampage at the camp. It did add up in her head, but she needed to see the full story. Right now, she was wondering what was going through either of their heads.
"... I didn't kill him!" Britney said, "I'm speaking from the heart, I didn't kill him!"
"Then what were you doing, Alhudaybi?" Amethyst asked. "... I'm not even going to give you a chance to tell one more lie..." She said.
"You all, make your choice and make it now! We have a plan to stop the Glutton, what will I have to do to make you all trust me?"
Library.
"Alright let's-" Justin tried to hurry the group out before they heard yelps from both Tuyen and Rita. Justin only caught a glimpse of a glowing white being moving at the corners of his eyes but he quickly looked around.
"... Well, look what we got here, boys!" A loud male voice shouted from the top of the bookshelves and when they looked up they saw some sort of otherworldly creature. It was a largely white, spiny, being that had a ghostly ethereal look to it. It was humanoid with long limbs and massive hands with enormous claws at the end that was holding Tuyen and Rita up by their necks. The creature had a long goat-skull for a head with sharp deer-like antlers at the top of their heads. He had a resemblance to the creature in their very first recollection... and he was grinning just like the other one. "Delivery!" He laughed.
"You bastard!" Justin shouted as he erupted in a cloud of flames.
"Take this bitch, I'm in the mood for Chinese tonight!" The Wendigo said as he tossed Rita at the group, he pointed his claws at Tuyen and attempted to drive them into her stomach...
"No!" Jordan screamed as a wave of white light erupted from her and wrapped itself around everything as it came to a stop. The Wendigo was frozen mid-stab as Tuyen was probably terrified... Jordan let out pants as her heart was racing. The Wendigo was still holding Tuyen, and there was only one thing she could think of doing. She pointed at the bookshelf it was standing on as she shouted, "Justin! Break it! Hurry!"
His Soul-Self went on autopilot as it turned into a phoenix that flew through the bookshelf and broke it in half. The Wendigo was still mid-air, but as time resumed it fell from the sky and landed on the remains of the bookshelf - while Tuyen landed where ever.
The Soul-Self fired a barrage of flames at the Wendigo to make sure the bastard stays down but he suddenly jumped upwards yelling, "YOU ALL ARE PISSIN' ME OFF!" He swiped at the Soul-Self and sent it flying out of the window... in which another Wendigo jumped through the window. But then another creature broke in through another window and many began to leap down from the upper floors.
Surely enough Justin realized that this was one fight the group couldn't win. The Soul Self returned to Justin as it cut a path through the Wendigos to the nearest window as Kimberly helped Jordan haul ass out of there.
"RUN!"
