Chapter 36: Part 1

The Hilton's 2: 
Game Changer

Chip: I'm glad you two came to me for help...I know that Sheri would have done the same for you two.
Tyler: Yeah...I'm sorry about Sheri. 
Misty: I'm sure your still mourning her loss. How is your daughter doing?

Chip: She's struggling, losing her brother and mother has taken a toll on her...and me. But I know she left this world accomplishing what she could. I'm happy for the time I had with her, it will take time for my daughter and I to gain some type of normalcy, but I have to keep strong for my daughter.

Just then Cub entered the room with two others following.
Cub: I found them.
Ethan: Where is he?! How bad is it?!!!

Misty: Evan's in pretty bad shape, his eyes...
Ethan: Oh God!

Cassidy: Let's not panic yet! I'll check his eyes first and see what kind of damage was done! Where is he?

Tyler: He's in the bedroom, Cas...it's pretty bad.
Cassidy: I'll do what I can.

Ethan quickly ran in the room with Cassidy to check on Evan.

Ethan: So how is he Doc?
Cassidy: Well, how do I say this? Evan....His eyes are beyond repair. The monster that did this to him, completely shredded his eyes. There's really nothing I can do but make him comfortable!

Ethan: There's nothing to be done?! He's blind.....
Cassidy: Sadly, but there is something you can do for him Ethan.
Ethan: Name it!
Cassidy: Be with him. Help him understand and deal with this loss. He'll need a strong support system too.
Ethan: Yes. I've already taken the time off, if I need more...I'll make it happen!

Cassidy: Who knows, maybe their are some spells to aid him. Tyler told me over the phone that they're looking into it, but with the events going on right now, it may take some time.
Ethan: Doesn't matter how long, I'm here for him...so are his friends.

Down in basement area, Misty finds Cub doing some light combat practice.
Misty: Thank you. 
Cub: For?
Misty: For aiding us back there and for helping us with Evan.

Misty: Did you find your pack? 
Cub: They're dead. 
Misty: Dead!
Cub: I found Swift and Guard. Eva...she was nowhere to be found, not even her scent. She's either been taken or completely erased from this world!

Misty: I'm sorry for your loss...
Cub: Yours too. Seems our family and friends are getting smaller and smaller these days.
Misty: Sadly, but at the same time, I'm glad to have made a new one.

Suddenly, Cub grabbed Misty and gave her a huge kiss!
Misty didn't know how to respond, nothing this spontaneous ever happened to her!

Misty: What the Hell was that for?!
Cub: I'm sorry...No I'm not sorry! I think your beautiful and so strong willed, I've had a crush on you since the moment we met! Since the world is going to crap, I didn't want to miss the opportunity.

Misty stood in complete shock, but realized she's been avoiding anything happy in her life for a long time!
 Misty: Your right, now is not the time for me to worry anymore...whatever is going to happen, I want to enjoy myself before the end! I thought you used to be called Pup?
Cub: I was promoted!
Misty grabbed Cub and proceeded to kiss him back!

Chip: So he's lost his sight. That is unfortunate.
Tyler: Just another casualty to a long list of misfortune's! 
Chip: How are the others?
Tyler: Don't really know...There's been no real contact with anyone since the attacks started.

Cassidy: Hope?
Tyler: Not a word...
Meanwhile....

Sky/Hestia: So your taking the Poseidon name for yourself?
Poseidon: Yes, and you are taking the Hestia name I assume?
Hestia: Naturally. Sky is no longer my name. Once the rest of my family is dead, that name will be dead as well.

Helios: Ladies are we done having our "We changed our names and now I'm a stronger woman", moment?
Hestia: Oh, Helios...I didn't see you there, seems you blend in with the rest of the relics in this place.
Helios: Hilarious! While the two of you were finding yourselves, I've been doing our job! 
Hestia: You killed the witches? Big deal, they were children!
Helios: I managed to kill two, the others will meet their end soon enough.

Poseidon: You let some escape?! Helios, I think your getting slow! 
Helios: Silence child! I am all but one being....it was a big house. Anyways, did Cronus tell you why we're here?

Hestia: No, he just told me to come here, did he mention anything to you two? Where are Hera and the others? Was this meeting too important for them?
Helios: You didn't hear? They're dead.
Poseidon: So Danny and his sidekicks killed them?!
Hestia: Come, let us see what Cronus plans to do next.

As the three made their way to Cronus, they were greeted by Gaia and her new followers! Cronus seemed oblivious as he played the piano.

Hestia: Cronus? 
Helios: Who the Hell are you three?! Maybe a snack for my victory?
Poseidon: That red head is a wolf! What is this?!

Gaia slowly picked herself up, she was quickly followed by her new entourage!

Gaia: Victory? Haha! You silly, silly, puppets! A victory would have been total destruction and rebuilding the ruins into what you wanted it to be! That is a victory!

Helios: Who are you? And what is up with Cronus?!
Gaia: My name is Gaia. That puppet playing the piano...well he's not totally aware of what's going on at the moment. But I assure you, Cronus and I are old acquaintances. 

Poseidon: Your old somethings! Cronus is powerful, for you to control his mind like this...would have to mean witchcraft!

Helios: Magic! Filthy little witches! I killed my share, I think I can kill a few more!

Hestia: Wait! You two fools honestly think that this creature is nothing but a witch?! Can't you two feel it? She is more than that! She's....something else.

Gaia: Interesting. One out of the three of you has a mind that still functions correctly!
Poseidon: What?! You BITCH! YOU THINK YOU CAN INSULT US AND GET AWAY WITH IT?!!!

Poseidon and Helios quickly transformed themselves! And took aim at the intruding trio!

Poseidon: YOU FILTHY WITCHES THINK YOUR BETTER THAN US?!!! I'LL SHOW YOU WHOSE BETTER!

Hestia: WAIT! 

Poseidon ignored Hestia's plea and charged towards Gaia with the full intent to cut her down!

Before Poseidon could even swing her sword, Luna intervened and swiftly put an end to Poseidon's attack!

Gaia: Foolish girl! You honestly think that I will allow you to take me down!

Gaia: Can't you see that I'm the most powerful being here?! Even without my companions, you would have been turned to dust before you even began to swing that sword at me!

Hestia and the others were confused to the events unfolding before them! They all realized that the person in charge wasn't Cronus anymore...the game had changed!

Hestia looked at the others and they seemed to understand their situation.
Hestia: What happens now?

Gaia: We get our victory.

Miles away....

Hope: Aah! 
Hope was woken up by a bad dream or was it a dream at all?

As Hope gained her composure she noticed Angelique sitting quietly next to her.
Hope: Angel? How long have we've been...
Angelique: Down here? Who knows....feels like a year though.

Hope: What's wrong?
Angelique: You don't feel it? Something bad happened.

Hope: Bad?
Angelique: And here we are locked away like children! God! Our friends are out there!

Hope: You don't think anything bad happened to them?!

Angelique: Whatever is going on....I hope that if any of them were killed it was quick! 
Hope: Angel! Why would you say that?!
Angelique: Sorry Hope...but...

Just then the girls heard a commotion outside the bedroom! Both ran out to see what was happening!

As the girls made their way out they were greeted by Artemis and the others!
Angelique: What the Hell happened?!

Artemis: We were so close! Damn it! What the Hell went wrong!
Javier: Someone else showed up...or something did! She turned that other witch into a damn bomb!
Artemis: A bomb?! How can that be done?! Who was it? Did the witch die? What happened to Cronus? Did Danny finish him off?!!!

Angelique: Dad? 
Howard: I can't explain it...Cronus was too powerful...he just ripped her out of me...like it was a band aid!

The room fell silent, all the noise any could hear were Felicity's cries, as she was back in the room were her family was killed! Suddenly, Danny walked into the silent room.

Artemis: Danny! What in HELL HAPPENED?! I thought with you...that this nightmare would be over!

Perseus: Artemis! We can not lay blame all on your brother!
Artemis: Damn it! It was supposed to end tonight! We...we were so close to having a future.

Danny: I'm sorry Artemis...I could not foresee this new threat? This new being is stronger than anything I've seen. I don't really know what her true motives are yet. But I'm sure she'll make it known soon enough.
Angelique: What about the others?! Damn it! You jerks knock us out and lock us away...where are our friends?!

Danny: I'm sorry....I went to your home and it was destroyed. I found remains...
Hope: NO! 
Angelique: How many? And who?

Danny: Two bodies and one pile of ash. I'm afraid that not all of your friends made it out. I also could not tell you where the others are or whether or not they're okay.
Hope: Angel....they're dead! 
Angelique: Shh, Hope...some made it out. I know they did! We just have to believe that the survivors are okay.

Javier: Now what? What do we do now Danny? Cronus is still out there.
Danny: He is. However, this new being is more concerning than he ever was. She seemed to control him with ease. That frightened me more than anything!

Artemis: This is ridicules! Is it ever going to end?! Every damn time we finish one off several more seemed to crawl out of Hell and replace them!

Danny: No...This will end one way or the other.
That's a promise!
Until Next Time!
