Chapter 109 - Chapter 58 Part 2 Sevasti the TV Mage

Sevasti is alive and apparently has gotten angry… at the Dark Umbrella and the House of Cursed Children.

Sevasti: "You'll regret standing in my way!"

Marcus: "What now?"

Fiona: "We'll have to fight him."

Violet: "Okay…"

Sophie: "Hahh.."

Fiona: "Lucy… protect Sophie, please."

Lucy: "Hmm?"

Marcus: "Exactly, protect Sophie… she can't fight."

Lucy: "I was planning to anyway…"

Sevasti: "Fools, you'll soon know why they call me the Cursed TV!"

On one of the TVs, a large eye appeared…

Sevasti: "I, Sevasti Wolfski… will make you regret underestimating me."

Hands emerged…

(Crash!)

Sevasti: "TV shots!"

Pistols appeared on the screen and fired at them.

Lucy: "What an absurd ability."

Fiona: "Ughh…"

Marcus: "Take cover!"

They shielded themselves.

Lucy: "Ghhh…"

Sophie: "Hahhhh…"

Lucy: "Why does he have no weakness?"

Marcus: "Hmmm… what do we do now?"

Fiona: "His ability is actually strong… but Marcus… did you notice… TVs have… behind them…"

Marcus: "No eyes, you mean?"

Fiona: "Exactly… Violet, can you sneak around?"

Violet: "Hmm… possibly, but you'll need to cover me."

Marcus: "Uhh… okay…"

They stood up.

Marcus: "Hey, over here…"

Fiona: "Hey!"

Sophie: "Ugh…"

Lucy: "Hhh…"

Sevasti: "Hahh… are you mocking me?! I am Sevasti… boss of the underworld of Titia!"

He fired at them… just then, Violet transformed into her shadow form.

Sevasti: "Ghhhh… take this…"

Marcus: "Ghhh…"

Fiona: "Hahhh…"

Marcus: "Did she get through?"

Fiona: "I can't go up or I'll get hit…"

Marcus: "Damn…"

Lucy: "Hhh…"

Violet: "Got you."

Sevasti: "Ughhuh!"

(Splash!)

She split his TV into two parts… he fell to the ground…

(Crash!)

Lucy: "Ugh… she did it…"

They got out.

Marcus: "That… was easier than expected…"

Lucy: "Huh!"

(Bzzzzzzzz)… (Bzzzz)

(Wooop!!)

Sevasti: "Hahahahahahaha."

More TVs turned on.

Lucy: "Huh!"

Sevasti: "This emergency broadcast means I am dead… which also means the whole building will go down… and I will take my enemies with me!"

Lucy: "Ugh."

(Tick!)

(Bieb!)

Alarm: "Warning… warning… building destruction imminent… I repeat, building destruction imminent… the building will be destroyed…"

(Bieb!)

Sophie: "Ugh."

Lucy: "Get out of here!"

They pushed them out the window.

(Crash!)

Marcus: "Ughhh…"

Lucy: "Ghhh."

She jumped after them.

Sophie: "Hahhhhhh!"

Fiona: "Arghhhhhhhh!"

Sophie: "In movies, people fall differently!!"

Marcus: "Wooooowwww!"

Violet: "Hahhhh… I can't transform into a shadow anymore…!!!"

Lucy: "Hold on."

She grabbed her sword and stabbed the building…

(Fwoosh!)

They held on… each holding onto the feet of the next… Marcus on Lucy… Sophie on Marcus… Violet on Sophie… and Fiona on Violet.

Lucy: "Ohhh… you're heavy…"

Sophie: "Hey… sorry…"

Lucy: "Ghhhhh…"

Marcus: "Ghhh… what do we do now…"

Sophie: "Yuck… Marcus… your shoes stink!"

Marcus: "No shit Sherlock… they're shoes!!"

Fiona: "Stop arguing… if this keeps up, one would almost willingly fall… by the way, Violet, why are you wearing two pants?"

Violet: "I don't think this is the right time to ask… can you stop pulling?"

Fiona: "Otherwise you'll fall with me, you idiot… wait… is that Tom Sawyer on your pants?"

Violet: "Hey!"

Lucy: "Ughhh… even in this situation, you two… ghhh… I can't take it anymore…"

Marcus: "Hold on, be a man."

Sophie: "She's unfortunately not."

Marcus: "Well, with the muscles…"

Lucy: "Hey asshole!… I'm prettier than you… I have the best figure!"

Marcus: "Yeah right… you think I don't know you have something under that suit making your chest bigger…"

Lucy: "Ugh!!"

Sophie: "Guys…"

Violet: "I don't want to die, think of something…"

Fiona: "Quiet…"

Violet: "Sorry… my goodness…"

Fiona: "Hey Lucy…"

Lucy: "Yes…"

Fiona: "If you let go now, we won't die if we land in the river over there…"

Lucy: "Ghhhhh…"

Violet: "Uh… guys…"

Sophie: "I don't want to die like this."

Violet: "Guys… we're about to fall…"

Marcus: "Let go but aim for the river…"

Lucy: "Okay…"

She let go.

Lucy: "Oh… finally…"

Marcus: "Uh."

(Weee!)

Sophie: "I hate my liiife!!!"

(Splash!)

They fell into the river…

Violet: "Oh… we made it… phew… wait… I can't swi…"

(Blobb!)

Lucy: "Ughhahhh… you're alive… are you alive?"

She held Violet up with one hand.

Violet: "Hey… a bit gentler please…"

Lucy: "Okay."

(Weee!)

She threw her.

(Crash!)

Violet: "Ouch…"

Sophie: "Ugh… (cough)… hahhh… I'll never watch movies where people fall again, I thought I had enough time to reflect on my life…"

Fiona: "(cough)… pff!"

She spat out a fish.

Fiona: "Ughh… I think I swallowed it…"

Marcus: "Mmmm… mmmmm…"

Fiona: "Huh?"

Sophie: "Marcus… um…"

Lucy: "Um…"

A lot of fish in his mouth…

Lucy: "Spit them out."

She hit his back.

(Crash!)

Marcus: "Ugh… (cough)… dude, you almost broke my bones…"

Lucy: "Don't exaggerate… where is… Renni?"

Renni: "There you are finally…"

Fiona: "Huh?.. since when are you here?"

Renni: "You're really action-friendly… the elevator was still there…"

Lucy: "(sweat)… right… the house needed… time to… collapse…"

Marcus: "Who's to blame again, you pushed us…"

Lucy: "Oh come on, a little action…"

Sophie: "Action… my goodness, I miss the days when my biggest worries were just my period…"

Fiona: "(sweat)… how do you even get on that… oh never mind…"

Lucy: "Does that mean we won?"

Violet: "Uh… guys…"

Fiona: "Hmm?…"

Violet: "Am I the only one seeing how the building is falling in our direction…"

(Weee)

(Crash!)

Sophie: "Aaaaaarghhh… that was close… huhhh… I peed myself… great…"

Fiona: "(sweat)… where's Melina!!"

Lucy: "Don't worry, she wasn't even with us… she's sleeping, I gave her something tasty."

Marcus: "She's lying, she said she'd bring her to the puppet man if she didn't sleep… so she slept out of fear…"

Sophie: "The… puppet man… wait… isn't he the ghost that takes kids who stay up late?"

Marcus: "That's Santa Claus… the puppet man is the one who kidnaps children and then turns them into… dolls… for fun."

Fiona: "What… you scared Melina… hahhh… well whatever, it saved her… dealing with Sevasti was easier than expected…"

Renni: "I hate to interrupt, but Sevasti isn't dead…"

Sophie: "What? But he said the emergency alarm only triggers if he dies…"

Renni: "Yes… but he's a TV, so he can connect with others… I think we should check a TV shop nearby, there's one close."

Lucy: "Why should we trust you… you're from the House of Cursed Children…"

Renni: "Don't worry… either way, Zantanel will kill him… so…"

(Click!)

Renni: "Hmm… see… the call means she already killed him… so… I should actually kill you… well, especially you, Sophie and Fiona…"

Sophie: "Huh?"

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Renni: "But I'm not suicidal, and besides Fiona… we are friends… look… oh by the way… Remi is outside, you'll meet him on Resin Street…"

Fiona: "Ughh…"

Renni left.

Sophie: "Go ahead… hahhh… I need a break, go before he leaves…"

Fiona: "Okay…"

(Some minutes later)

Casper: "What just happened?"

Remy: "Something's not right… why is the building gone…"

Fiona: "Hahh… Remy!"

Remy: "Ughh… Fiona…"

Fiona: "Hahhhh… hahhhh… I'm sorry, okay… sorry… I hurt you… with the shot, but I shouldn't have yelled at you…"

Remy: "Huh?… wait… let me guess… you're partly responsible for the building collapse with the Dark Umbrella."

Fiona: "Something like that…"

Remy: "I see…"

Casper: "Remy… why were you at the House of Cursed Children anyway?"

Remy: "Still… I'm still a member…"

Fiona: "What!"

Casper: "You're kidding…"

Remy: "No… sorry Fiona… but… I personally just wanted to meet Zantanel…"

Fiona: "You met her…"

Remy: "Yes… and she's dangerous… but I have to say, I understand her…"

Casper: "What are you planning now?"

Remy: "I'm going back to her…"

Fiona: "Ugh."

Casper: "Huh?"

Remy: "Sorry Casper…"

Zantanel appeared.

Zantanel: "Well, well…"

Remy: "Huh… you overheard us…"

Zantanel: "Indeed…"

Fiona: "Ughh…"

Zantanel: "So this is the woman you shot?… I know you, I met you in Weimar in the slow-motion… you are this Fiona, I suppose."

Fiona: "Yes…"

Zantanel: "Hahhh… I see… Sevasti is dead… I killed him."

She threw the TV to the ground.

Zantanel: "Feel free to take him, I don't care anymore…"

Fiona: "What exactly is your goal!"

Zantanel: "Hmm… freeing Grimmhoth from non-mages and non-cursed…"

Fiona: "Are you insane!… 90 percent of living beings aren't cursed or mages!"

Zantanel: "So be it… come with Remy… I'll let you go this time… Fiona Philomela Household… by the way… you resemble your grandmother Layla a bit…"

Fiona: "Wait… you… you know my grandmother… how old are you anyway…"

Zantanel: "Old enough to have met her… I met her through a time-slow…"

Fiona: "Wait… are you saying… one can travel through black holes and even meet people who lived back then?"

Zantanel: "Of course… that's how it is…"

Fiona: "What exactly is the black hole?"

Zantanel: "Whether the Dark Umbrella believes it or not, it's a natural phenomenon… and no, we haven't found a way to enhance it… we are also human… the reason this phenomenon appears more often… is simply because stars are dying… and as long as there are stars, the black hole will exist… excuse me now…"

Fiona: "Huh…"

Zantanel: "I'm sure we will meet again… we from the House of Cursed Children… and the Dark Umbrella…"

Fiona: "Remy!"

Remy: "Sorry Fiona…"

Fiona: "No, wait!"

They left.

Casper: "Ugh…"

Fiona: "Re… my…"

Casper: "That idiot!"

Fiona: "Hahhh…"

(Meanwhile)

At the Owl organization…

Javert: "Hmmm…"

Owl Member: "And?"

Javert: "I know a person who knows a lot about the Dark Umbrella… she lives in Weimar… her name… is Naomi Petit…"

Owl Member: "What is your order?"

Javert: "Observe her…"

Owl Member: "Yes, sir."

He walked a bit further…

Javert: "Hmmm… wait…"

Owl Member: "Hmm?"

Javert: "I will take care of Naomi Petit myself… book me a ride there… hmm?… wait… what the hell… what's going on with the moon!"

(Meanwhile)

(Bieb… Bieb… Bieb… Bieb… Bieb)

Dark Umbrella Member: "Black hole… oh… it's so strong…"

Dark Umbrella Member: "Where?!"

Dark Umbrella Member: "Not just one kingdom…"

Dark Umbrella Member: "What?…"

Dark Umbrella Member: "…it's… the entire Grimmhoth map!"

(Meanwhile)

Sophie: "Ughhuh…"

Lucy: "Ughhuhh…"

Sophie: "Not… your serious…"

Marcus: "How… big… is… that!..."

Sophie: "Huhh… this is the strongest black hole… the Apocalypse Black Hole!"

(Meanwhile)

Zantanel: "Unbelievable…"

Remy: "Ughh…"

Zantanel: "Even I don't want to deal with this…"

Remy: "What does that mean now?"

Zantanel: "It's so big… it could change the entire world of Grimmhoth… either… we go back in time… or… continue in the future…"

(Meanwhile)

Fiona: "Ughh… huh…"

Casper: "It's… creepy… but also beautiful…"

Fiona: "Hahhh… let's go."

Casper: "Where… then?… we're supposed to save the others."

Fiona: "Forget it…"

Casper: "Ugh…"

Fiona: "We're only human… we can't stop this thing… nature… is sometimes cruel…"

Casper: "Ughh…"

Fiona: "If it were just a kingdom, okay… but this is so big… it covers the moon!… that already shows what's going on… it's called the Apocalypse Black Hole… though it's actually… also called the Dark Star… the only thing we can do… is go into the clock… from Ichabod… don't worry, the others will be fine… I hope at least… everyone has their own safe room by now."

Casper: "What will happen… to the… humans?"

Fiona: "Both animals and humans… many will die… if we're lucky, not too many…"

Casper: "And if we're unlucky?"

Fiona: "Then it could… be worse… who knows…"

She reached the clock tower.

Fiona: "Into you…"

Casper: "I'm not going before I save the others…"

Fiona: "Hahhh…"

She pushed him in.

Fiona: "We're not heroes… go in… now… huh?"

She saw a child looking at her…

Fiona: "Ughh…"

Child: "Huh?…"

Fiona: "Ghhh."

She quickly grabbed the child's hand.

Fiona: "Exception!"

She went in with him…

(Tshhhhhhh…)

The black hole grew larger… swallowing most of the kingdoms…

(Bieb… bieb)

Casper: "Ghhh…"

Fiona: "Oh no… the pull is even strong for the safe room…"

Casper: "What does that mean now?"

Fiona: "It means we might get injured… non-cursed or mages… worse, Casper… cover the child! With your body… you're 190 cm tall…"

Casper: "Ugh… sure…"

He shielded the child, holding them.

Casper: "Don't worry, I'll protect you…"

Fiona: "My goodness… hahhh… never a moment of peace!"

(Wushhhhhhh!!)

(Crash!)
